Dear Shareholders,

We are pleased to invite you to an Extraordinary General Meeting of Micro-X Limited ( Company ).

The Company is implementing a capital raising by way of a placement to raise up to $16,500,000. The funds raised will be used to:

  • redeem most of the Convertible Notes on issue in the Company, which is expected to cost up to $2.8million; and

  • cover capital raising costs,

subject to any amendment contemplated by section 4.2 of the Explanatory Statement.

The placement comprises:

  • the Tranche 1 General Placement, which is planned to be completed on or about 25 November 2019 and raised approximately $2.49 million which is subject to ratification by Shareholders at this meeting;

  • the Tranche 2 General Placement, to raise up to approximately $13.66 million, which is subject to Shareholder approval at this meeting;

  • the Gosling Director Placement, to raise $0.05 million, which is subject to Shareholder approval at this meeting; and

The Company may be required to issue Shares to Thales in satisfaction of amounts owing under the Thales Loan Agreement, as described further in the Explanatory Statement. This conversion right under the Thales Loan Agreement constitutes a "convertible security" ( Thales Convertible Security ). As such, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval of the Thales Convertible Security.

Part C – How to vote

If you are entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, you may vote by attending the meeting in person or by attorney, proxy or, in the case of corporate shareholders, corporate representative.

1. How to vote

You may vote in one of two ways:

  • attending the meeting and voting in person (if a corporate shareholder, by representative); or

  • voting by proxy (see below on how to vote by proxy).

2. Your vote is important

The business of the Extraordinary General Meeting affects your shareholding and your vote is important.

3. Corporations

To vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, a Shareholder that is a corporation must appoint an individual to act as its representative. The appointment must comply with section 250D of the Corporations Act. The representative should bring to the Extraordinary General Meeting evidence of his or her appointment, including any authority under which it is signed.

8

Alternatively, a corporation may appoint a proxy.

4. Voting in person

To vote in person, attend the meeting on the date and at the time and place set out above.

5. Voting by proxy

To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by the time and in accordance with the instructions set out on the Proxy Form.

In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act, Shareholders are advised that:

  • each Shareholder has a right to appoint a proxy;

  • the proxy need not be a Shareholder; and

  • a Shareholder who is entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If the Shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder's votes, then in accordance with section 249X(3) of the Corporations Act, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes.

Shareholders and their proxies should be aware that changes to the Corporations Act made in 2011 mean that:

  • if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as directed; and

  • any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chairman, who must vote the proxies as directed. Further details on these changes are set out below.

Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote

Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does:

  • the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • if the proxy has two or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution, the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and

  • if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on, the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (ie as directed); and

  • if the proxy is not the chair, the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (ie as directed).

Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

  • an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and

  • the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and

  • at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

  • either of the following applies:

  • the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting; or

  • the proxy does not vote on the resolution,

the chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.

9

6. Eligibility to vote

The Directors have determined pursuant to Regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth) that the persons eligible to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting are those that are registered Shareholders at 7:00pm (Melbourne time) on 17 December 2019. If you are not the registered holder of a relevant Share at that time you will not be entitled to vote in respect of that Share.

1. Resolution 1 – Ratification of issue of the Tranche 1 Shares

1.1 Purpose of resolution

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification for the purpose of satisfying ASX Listing Rule 7.4 of the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares – i.e. the 12,473,306 new ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.20 per share – which raised $2,494,661.20 before costs.

Resolution 1 is proposed as an ordinary resolution.

1.2 Overview of regulatory approval requirements

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period ( 15% Placement Capacity ) without Shareholder approval.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that a company may obtain approval of its Shareholders at its annual general meeting to issue or agree to issue further equity securities during the 12 month period that represent a further 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the date of the annual general meeting ( Additional 10% Placement Capacity ). The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting in 2018 and is seeking this approval again at its annual general meeting in 2019.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of securities made without approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and Shareholders subsequently approve it.

As such, approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 is being sought so that the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares, once ratified pursuant to this Resolution 1, does not use up the Company's 15% Placement Capacity or Additional 10% Placement Capacity.

Patrick O'Brien has an interest in the outcome of Resolution 4 so abstains from providing a recommendation on Resolution 4.

The Chairman of the Extraordinary General Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of each of Resolution 3 and 4.

4. Resolution 5 – Approval of proposed issue of Thales Convertible Security

4.1 Purpose of resolution

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the purpose of satisfying ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to allow the issue of the Thales Convertible Security.

Under the Thales Loan Agreement, the Company has been advanced $5 million and may be advanced, at the Company's election, up to a further $5 million. After 2 July 2024, being the fifth anniversary of the initial drawdown of the Loan, or any date that falls on or after a takeover offer being made, Thales has the right to request ( Conversion Request ) that the Company

15

convert all, or part, of the amount outstanding (which includes both principal and accrued and capitalised interest) ( Conversion Amount ) into fully paid Shares. Thales can make such request not more than three (3) times. On receipt of a Conversion Request, the Company may elect to repay the Conversion Amount (at an amount equal to 120% of the Conversion Amount) or must otherwise issue the Shares to Thales. As noted in the letter from the Chairman, this conversion right is the " Thales Convertible Security ".

The circumstances relating to Resolution 5 were announced to the market on 15 November 2019. In summary, following a review by the ASX of the Company's draft notice of annual general meeting, the ASX determined that the Thales Loan Agreement comprises a convertible security under the ASX Listing Rules and as such would utilise the Company's available capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 at the time the Thales Loan Agreement was entered into. The ASX permitted the Company to execute a variation of the Thales Loan Agreement with Thales, the effect of which is that the Thales Convertible Security is not taken to be issued (i.e. conversion right under the Thales Loan Agreement does not take effect) unless and until it has been approved by Shareholders.

Accordingly, the Company is seeking the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Resolution 5. Resolution 5 is proposed as an ordinary resolution.

4.2 Consequences if resolution is not passed

Thales Loan Agreement may be amended or cancelled

As part of the variation to the Thales Loan Agreement, if Resolution 5 is not passed by 31 December 2019 (or such later date as Thales may approve) ( Review Event ), then:

  • the conversion right in the Thales Loan Agreement will cease to apply;

  • during a 30 day period after failing to pass Resolution 5, the Company and Thales must meet and consult in good faith to agree a strategy to rectify the circumstances giving rise to the Review Event (which may include a restructure of the terms of the Thales Loan Agreement to the satisfaction of Thales); and

  • after that meeting, or if no meeting occurs during that period, Thales may elect to:

  • change any terms or conditions of the Thales Loan Agreement and:

    • if the Company accepts the changes, those changes will take effect; or

    • if the Company does not accept those changes, the facility will be cancelled and the Company must pay Thales an amount equal to 120% of the amount outstanding (i.e. the $5 million drawn down plus accrued interest) under the Thales Loan Agreement ( Early Prepayment Amount ) within 60 days of the cancellation; or

  • cancel the facility with effect from the last day of the 30 day consultation period, in which case the Company must pay Thales the Early Prepayment Amount within 60 days of the cancellation.

Tranche 2 Placement may not proceed

If Resolution 5 is not passed and Thales exercises its rights described above in a manner which investors consider to be adverse to the Company, there is a risk that investors may no longer wish to provide their funds to subscribe for their Shares under the Tranche 2 General Placement.

Further, if Resolution 5 is not passed and the Company is required to pay the Early Prepayment Amount to Thales, funds raised under the General Placement may need to be applied towards repaying that amount instead of towards the use of funds described in this Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting. In such circumstances, the Company may need to undertake a further capital raising or consider alternative sources of funding.

4.3 Overview of regulatory approval requirements

Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is being sought so that the issue of the Thales Convertible Security does not use up the Company's 15% Placement Capacity or Additional 10% Placement Capacity.

4.4 Specific information

ASX Listing Rule 7.3 requires certain information to accompany a Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting in relation to approval sought under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. This information is set out below:

ASX Listing Rule 7.3
requirement
Information
Names of the allottees: Thales.
Maximum number of
securities to be issued:
The Company will issue one (1) Thales Convertible Security.
The Thales Convertible Security entitles Thales to be issued a
maximum of:
(a)
40,000,000 fully paid Shares calculated as the total
$10 million maximum principal drawable under the
Thales Loan Agreement at a floor price of $0.25 per
Share; plus
(b)
That number of Shares calculated as equivalent
to the then accrued and unpaid interest at a floor
price of $0.25 per Share (N.B. The interest is
calculated on the amount outstanding equal to
1.85% above the Australian Bank Bill Swap
Reference Rate administered by ASX Benchmarks
Pty Ltd for a six month period.
For the purposes of calculating the maximum number of
securities that may be issued on conversion of the Thales
Convertible Security, the Company has utilised the date of
drawdown under the Thales Loan Agreement as the issue date.
Terms of the securities: A summary of the terms of the Thales Convertible Security are as
follows:

the Company may draw down up to $10 million under the
Thales Loan Agreement. The Company has already drawn
down $5 million;

as noted in section 4.1, Thales may issue Conversion
Requests to be issued Shares in satisfaction of the Conversion
Amount and, unless the Company elects to pay the amount in
cash, the Company must issue the Shares to Thales;

Thales may issue Conversion Requests on or after 2 July 2024
(or any date that falls on or after a takeover offer being made);

Shares must be issued within seven (7) business days of the
request;

the Shares to be issued on exercise of the Thales Convertible
Security pursuant to Resolution 5 shall be fully paid ordinary
Shares ranking equally with the Company's existing listed
ordinary Shares; and the Company will apply to ASX for
quotation of the Shares on the ASX.
Date by which the
securities will be issued:
Notwithstanding that the Thales Loan Agreement has already been
entered into, the Thales Convertible Security will be deemed to be
issued on the date on which Resolution 5 is passed.
With regards to Shares issued on conversion of the Thales
Convertible Security, as Shares must be issued within seven (7)
business days of a Conversion Request and the Thales Loan
Agreement expires on 2 July 2025, the last day by which Shares on
conversion of the Thales Convertible Security may be issued to
Thales is expected to be 11 July 2025.

ASX Listing Rule 7.3
requirement
Information
The issue price of the
securities:
The Thales Convertible Security has an issue price of $10 million
(being the amount of the facility provided under the Thales Loan
Agreement).
With regards to Shares issued on conversion of the Thales
Convertible Security, the price at which those Shares will be issued
is an amount equal to 80% of the average of the volume weighted
average price of a Share on ASX on each trading day over the 30
trading days preceding the issue date (subject to a floor price of $0.25
per Share).
The intended use of
funds raised:
In respect of the first $5 million advanced under the Thales Loan
Agreement, in accordance with the terms of the Thales Loan
Agreement, $4 million was applied by the Company solely towards
assisting with costs and expenses associated with the Company's
development of the Mobile Backscatter Imager project and the
remaining $1 million is to be applied towards the working capital
requirements of the Company.
In respect of each other advance (if the Company draws down any of
the remaining $5 million) under the Thales Loan Agreement, those
amounts must be used towards funding the escrow account
maintained by Thales for the purposes of funding payments to Thales
under or in connection with the Development and Manufacturing
Agreement entered into between the Company and Thales on or
about 29 March 2019 in connection with the development,
manufacture and sale by Thales to the Company of X-ray sources
using carbon nanotubes, or any other purpose approved by Thales in
its discretion.
If the Thales Convertible Security is exercised, the issue of Shares
will effectively extinguish the Conversion Amount(s) the subject of the
Conversion Request(s) owing by the Company under the Thales
Loan Agreement.
If the Thales Convertible Security is exercised, the maximum
number of Ordinary Shares issued to Thales cannot result in
Thales having voting power in the Company in excess of 20%.
Any other material terms: Facility limit
Under the Thales Loan Agreement, the Company may draw down up
to $10 million and, as noted above, the Company has already drawn
down $5 million.

The Company pays interest on the amount outstanding under the
Thales Loan Agreement equal to 1.85% above the Australian Bank
Bill Swap Reference Rate administered by ASX Benchmarks Pty Ltd
for a six month period. Interest accrues daily and is payable ever six
(6) months unless capitalised.
Term
The Company must repay amounts owing by it under the Thales Loan
Agreement by 2 July 2025.
Events of default
Events of default include, but are not limited to, failing to pay amounts
when due, being subject to an insolvency event, being subject to an
investigation by a governmental agency, a representation given by
the Company being not true or misleading in a material respect, there
being in the opinion of Thales a material adverse effect on the
Company, Thales being suspended from the official list of ASX for
more than 10 consecutive trading days or Thales failing to comply
with the listing rules.
If an event of default is subsisting, Thales has usual rights as a
lender, including to demand immediate repayment of the amounts
outstanding or enforce its security over the assets of the Company.
