Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report

General

In accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report for the year ended 30 June 2022 in the 2022 Annual Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and non-executive Directors.

In accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

If the Company's Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more ( Strike ) at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board, except the managing director (if any).

Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director, if any) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.

The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.

4.2

Additional information

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.

Given the personal interests of all Directors in the outcome of this Resolution, the Board declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders regarding this Resolution.

5. Resolution 2 – Re-Election of Director – Mr Gary Lawler

5.1

General

Article 6.3(d) of the Constitution requires that one Director must retire at each annual general meeting. Article 6.3(e) of the Constitution requires that the Directors to retire are those who have held their office as Director for the longest period since their last election or appointment to that office. In the event two or more Directors have held office for equal periods of time, the retiring Directors are to be determined by lot, unless otherwise agreed by those Directors.

Article 6.3(f) of the Constitution provides that a Director who retires in accordance with Article 6.3(d) is eligible for re-election.

Mr Gary Lawler was appointed as Non-Executive Director of the Company on 15 October 2018 and was re-elected last at the annual general meeting held on 9 November 2020.

Accordingly, Mr Gary Lawler retires and seeks re-election in accordance with Listing Rule 14.4 and Article 6.3(f) of the Constitution, pursuant to Resolution 2.

5.2

Mr Lawler brings a wealth of legal and business experience to the Board.

Mr Lawler is currently a director of Champion Iron Limited(ASX/TSX).

Mr Lawler does not currently hold any other material directorships, other than as disclosed in this Notice.

The Company confirms that it took appropriate checks into Mr Lawler’s background and experience and that these checks did not identify any information of concern.

If elected, Mr Lawler is considered by the Board (with Mr Lawler abstaining) to be an independent Director. Mr Lawler is not considered by the Board to hold any interest, position or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, in a material respect his capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interests of the entity as a whole rather than in the interests of an individual security holder or other party.

Mr Lawler has acknowledged to the Company that he will have sufficient time to fulfil his responsibilities as a Director

5.3

Board recommendation

The Board (other than Mr Lawler who has a personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 2) supports the election of Mr Lawler for the following reasons. After appropriate consideration, and taking into account his past performance, contributions to the Company and the current and future needs of the Board and the Company, the Board’s members (excluding Mr Lawler) unanimously agreed that Mr Lawler’s distinct set of skills and experience, are of obvious and on-going benefit to the Board.

Page 10

If Resolution 2 is approved, Mr Lawler will be re-elected as a Director of the Company. If Resolution 2 is not approved, Mr Lawler will not be re-elected as a Director of the Company.

5.4 Additional information

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board, other than Mr Lawler (who has a personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 2) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

6. Resolution 3 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility

6.1

General

Listing Rule 7.1A enables an eligible entity to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12-month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval to provide the Company with the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period (refer to Section 6.2(f) below). The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 6.2(c) below).

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval in Listing Rule 7.1.

6.2

Listing Rule 7.1A

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less.

The Company is an eligible entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of approximately $12.7m, based on the closing price of Shares ($0.19) on 18 October 2022.

(b) What Equity Securities can be issued?

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the eligible entity.

As at the date of the Notice, the Company has on issue one quoted class of Equity Securities, being Shares.

(c) How many Equity Securities can be issued?

Page 11

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that under the approved 10% Placement Facility, the Company may issue or agree to issue a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

• A = is the number of Shares on issue at the commencement of the Relevant Period:

• (A) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the Relevant Period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;

• (B) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the Relevant Period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

  • (1) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the Relevant Period; or

  • (2) the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4;

• (C) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the Relevant Period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

  • (1) the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the Relevant Period; or

  • (2) the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4;

• (D) plus the number of partly paid Shares that became fully paid Shares in the Relevant Period;

• (E) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the Relevant Period with approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4; and

• (F) less the number of fully paid Shares cancelled in the Relevant Period.

Note that 'A' has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.

• D = is 10%.

• E = is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the Relevant Period where the issue or agreement has not

Page 12

been subsequently approved by the holders of its ordinary securities under Listing Rule 7.4.

(d) What is the interaction with Listing Rule 7.1?

The Company's ability to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A will be in addition to its 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

(e)

At what price can the Equity Securities be issued?

Any Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be issued for a cash consideration per Equity Security which is not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

• (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or

• (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph 6.2(e)(i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued, ( Minimum Issue Price ).

(f)

When can Equity Securities be issued?

• (ii) the time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting; or

• (iii) the time and date of Shareholder approval of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

( 10% Placement Period ).

(g)

What is the effect of Resolution 3?

The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Company to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without further Shareholder approval or using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

6.3

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in relation to the 10% Placement Facility:

(a) Final date for issue

The Company will only issue the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period (refer to Section 6.2(f) above).

• (b) Minimum issue price

Page 13

Where the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, it will only do so for cash consideration and the issue price will be not less than the Minimum Issue Price (refer to Section 6.2(e) above).

(c) Purposes of issues under the 10% Placement Facility

The Company may seek to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility for the purposes of raising funds for continued investment in the Company's current assets, the acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), and/or for general working capital.

(d) Risk of economic and voting dilution

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

• (i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

• (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

If this Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' economic and voting power in the Company may be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of Options, only if the Options are converted into Shares).

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders based on the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares for Variable 'A' calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (see Section 6.2(c) above) as at the date of this Notice ( Variable A ), with:

• (i) two examples where Variable A has increased, by 50% and 100%; and

• (ii) two examples of where the issue price of Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

Shares (Variable A in Listing Rule 7.1A.2)		Dilution	Dilution
	Issue price per Share	$0.095 50% decrease in Current Market Price	$0.19 Current Market Price	$0.38 100% increase in Current Market Price
67,035,951 Shares Variable A	10% Voting Dilution	6,703,595 Shares	6,703,595 Shares	6,703,595 Shares
	Funds raised	$636,842	$1,273,683	$2,547,366

Page 14

Shares (Variable A in Listing Rule 7.1A.2)		Dilution	Dilution
	Issue price per Share	$0.095 50% decrease in Current Market Price	$0.19 Current Market Price	$0.38 100% increase in Current Market Price
100,553,927 Shares 50% increase in Variable A	10% Voting Dilution	10,055,393 Shares	10,055,393 Shares	10,055,393 Shares
	Funds raised	$636,842	$1,273,683	$2,547,366
134,071,902 Shares 100% increase in Variable A	10% Voting Dilution	13,407,190 Shares	13,407,190 Shares	13,407,190 Shares
	Funds raised	$1,273,683	$2,547,366	$5,094,732

Notes:

1. The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

2. (a) The issue price is the current market price ($0.19), being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 18 October 2022, being the latest practicable date before this Notice was signed.

3. (b) Variable A comprises of 67,035,951 existing Shares on issue as at the date of this Meeting, assuming the Company has not issued any Shares in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4.

4. (c) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

5. (d) No convertible securities (including any issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised or converted into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

6. (e) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

7. The number of Shares on issue (i.e. Variable A) may increase as a result of issues of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue, scrip issued under a takeover offer or upon exercise of convertible securities) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting.

The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued Share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.

The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Page 15

(e) Allocation policy

The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

• (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing Shareholders can participate;

• (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

• (iii) financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

• (iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new investors who are not related parties of or associates of a related party of the Company.

(f) Issues in the past 12 months

6.4 Additional information

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

7. Resolution 4 – Approval of New Plan

7.1 General

On 1 October 2022, amendments to the Corporations Act came into effect, simplifying the process for incentivising participants under employee share schemes ( ESS ). Division 1A will be introduced into Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act, providing a separate regime for the making of offers in connection with an ESS ( New Regime ). This regime will replace the

Page 16

current relief afforded by ASIC Class Order 14/1000 ( Class Order ), which commenced on 30 October 2014.

To ensure that the Company is afforded the relief provided by the New Regime, the Company considers it necessary to adopt a new ESS that makes reference to the New Regime and includes the changes that came into effect on 1 October 2022.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the new ESS titled the ‘Mont Royal Resources Limited Employee Securities Incentive Plan' ( New Plan ) in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 exception 13(b), for the sole purpose of ensuring that the Company is afforded the relief provided by the New Regime.

Under the New Plan, the Board may offer to eligible persons the opportunity to subscribe for such number of Equity Securities in the Company as the Board may decide and on the terms set out in the rules of the New Plan, a summary of the key terms and conditions is in Schedule 2. In addition, a copy of the New Plan is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company until the date of the Meeting. A copy of the New Plan can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

7.2 Key changes between the Class Order and New Regime

The following table summarises the key changes implemented by the New Regime for “Invitations” (within the meaning given in the New Plan) made on or after 1 October 2022:

	Current position under the Class Order	Position from 1 October 2022
Disclosure obligations	The Class Order mandates certain information that must be provided to ESS participants. There is no difference between the disclosure requirements where ESS Interests are offered for monetary consideration or for no monetary consideration.	If the offer of ESS Interests is for no monetary consideration:There are no prescribed disclosure obligations, other than a statement that the offer is made under Division 1A. If the offer of ESS Interests is for monetary consideration: • Certain prescribed disclosure requirements apply. These disclosure requirements are similar (although different) to the current disclosure requirements under the Class Order. • The participant cannot acquire the ESS Interests until 14 days after receiving the above disclosure. This mandates a waiting period ensuring a participant has time to consider their decision and seek legal financial advice.

Page 17

		• Any associated trust, contribution plan and loan arrangement will need to comply with specified requirements.
Eligible participants	• Directors; • Full-time and part-time employees; • Casual employees and contractors, provided they work the number of hours that are the pro-rata equivalent of 40% or more of a comparable full-time position with the entity.	• Directors; • Full-time and part-time employees; • Any service providers to the entity (with no minimum requirement of hours of service provided); • Certain ‘related persons’ to the above.
5% limit	The maximum number of ESS Interests that can be issued under the Class Order relief over a three- year period is 5% of the issued share capital.	If the offer of ESS Interests is for no monetary consideration:There is no limit on the number of such ESS Interests that may be issued. If the offer of ESS Interests is for monetary consideration:The number of ESS Interests issued over a three-year period must not exceed 5% of the issued share capital. Entities may specify a different issue cap in their constitution, which the Company seeks to do under Resolution 6, amending this cap to 10% of its issued share capital.
Quotation requirement	An entity’s shares must have been quoted for three months before the Class Order relief is available.	Newly listed entities can offer ESS Interests under the new regime without any minimum quotation period. This will make it much simpler for newly listed entities to offer ESS Interests.
Suspension	For the Class Order relief to be available, the entity’s shares must not have been suspended for more than 5 days over the previous 12 months.	The new regime permits an entity to offer ESS Interests regardless of any suspension to the trading of its shares.

Page 18

On-sale relief	Relief is provided from the on-sale provisions for securities issued under the Class Order.	There is no equivalent relief under the new provisions. This means cleansing notices (or cleansing prospectuses for entities unable to rely on a cleansing notice) must be issued in order to ensure shares may be on-sold within 12 months of issue.
ASIC involvement	A ‘Notice of Reliance’ must be submitted to ASIC to rely on the Class Order relief.	There are no ASIC lodgement requirements. ASIC has the power to require the provision of documents necessary in order to form an opinion about whether the regime has been complied with. ASIC has also been given express enforcement powers including the ability to issue ‘stop orders’.
Criminal offences	N/A	New ESS related criminal offences have been introduced regarding certain misleading or deceptive statements or omissions.

7.3 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.2, exception 13(b)

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b), provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 such that issues of Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of three years from the date on which Shareholders approve the issue of Equity Securities under the scheme as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b), ceases to be available to the Company if there is a material change to the terms of the New Plan from those set out in this Notice in Schedule 2.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities under the New Plan pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b), to eligible participants over a period of three years up to a nominated maximum amount without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

However, any future issues of Equity Securities under the New Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained will require additional Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time.

Page 19

If Resolution 4 is not passed, any issue of Equity Securities pursuant to the New Plan must either be undertaken using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, or with prior Shareholder approval.

7.4

Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b)

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b), the following information is provided in relation to the New Plan:

• (a) A summary of the material terms of the New Plan is in Schedule 2.

• (b) As at the date of this Notice, no Equity Securities have been issued under the New Plan.

• (c) The Company adopted its existing employee securities incentive plan called the ‘Mont Royal Resources Limited Employee Incentive Plan’ under Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(a) prior to its admission to the Official List of ASX on 3 May 2019 ( Existing Plan ).

• (d) Shareholders should note that no Equity Securities have previously been issued under the Existing Plan.

• (e) The maximum number of Equity Securities proposed to be issued under the New Plan pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b), following approval of Resolution 4 is 6,703,595 (subject to adjustment in the event of a reorganisation of capital and further subject to applicable laws and the Listing Rules). This number comprises approximately 10% of the Company's Equity Securities currently on issue.

• (f) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

• 7.5

Additional information

Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board declines to make a recommendation in relation to Resolution 4 due to their personal interests in the outcome of the Resolution.

8. Resolution 5 – Approval of potential termination benefits under the New Plan

8.1 General

The Corporations Act contains certain limitations concerning the payment of 'termination benefits' to persons who hold a 'managerial or executive office'. The Listing Rules also provides certain limitations on the payment of 'termination benefits' to officers of listed entities.

As is common with employee incentive schemes, the New Plan provides the Board with the discretion to, amongst other things, determine that some or all of the Equity Securities granted to a participant under the New Plan ( Plan Securities ) will not lapse in the event of that participant ceasing their engagement with the Company before such Plan Securities have vested. This 'accelerated vesting' of New Plan Securities may constitute a 'termination benefit' prohibited under the Corporations Act, regardless of the value of such benefit, unless Shareholder approval is obtained.

Page 20

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to offer ‘termination benefits’ to persons who hold a ‘managerial or executive office’ pursuant to the terms of the New Plan.

8.2 Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act

Under section 200B of the Corporations Act, a company may only give a person a benefit in connection with them ceasing to hold a 'managerial or executive office' (as defined in the Corporations Act) if an exemption applies or if the benefit is approved by Shareholders in accordance with section 200E of the Corporations Act.

Subject to Shareholder approval of Resolution 4, Shareholder approval is sought for the purposes of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act to approve the giving of benefits under the New Plan to a person by the Company in connection with that person ceasing to be an officer of, or ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office in, the Company (or subsidiary of the Company) on the terms and conditions in this Explanatory Memorandum.

As noted above, under the terms of the New Plan and subject to the Listing Rules, the Board possesses the discretion to vary the terms or conditions of the Plan Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the participant in the New Plan, no amendment may be made to the terms of any granted Plan Security which reduces the rights of the participant in respect of that Plan Security, other than an amendment introduced primarily to comply with legislation, to correct any manifest error or mistake or to take into consideration possible adverse tax implications.

As a result of the above discretion, the Board has the power to determine that some or all of a participant's Plan Securities will not lapse in the event of the participant ceasing employment or office before the vesting of their Plan Securities.

The exercise of this discretion by the Board may constitute a 'benefit' for the purposes of section 200B of the Corporations Act. The Company is therefore seeking Shareholder approval for the exercise of the Board's discretion in respect of any current or future participant in the New Plan who holds:

• (a) a managerial or executive office in, or is an officer of, the Company (or subsidiary of the Company) at the time of their leaving or at any time in the three years prior to their leaving; and

• (b) Plan Securities at the time of their leaving.

8.3

Valuation of the termination benefits

Provided Shareholder approval is given, the value of the termination benefits may be disregarded when applying section 200F(2)(b) or section 200G(1)(c) of the Corporations Act (i.e. the approved benefit will not count towards the statutory cap under the legislation).

The value of the termination benefits that the Board may give under the New Plan cannot be determined in advance. This is because various matters will or are likely to affect that value. In particular, the value of a particular benefit will depend on factors such as the Company's Share price at the time of vesting and the number of Plan Securities that will vest or otherwise be affected. The following additional factors may also affect the benefit's value:

• (a) the participant's length of service and the status of the vesting conditions attaching to the relevant Plan Securities at the time the participant's employment or office ceases; and

Page 21

• (b) the number of unvested Plan Securities that the participant holds at the time they cease employment or office.

In accordance with Listing Rule 10.19, the Company will ensure that no officer of the Company or any of its child entities will, or may be, entitled to termination benefits if the value of those benefits and the terminations benefits that are or may be payable to all officers together exceed 5% of the equity interests of the Company as set out in the latest accounts given to ASX under the Listing Rules.

8.4

Additional information

Resolution 5 is conditional on the passing of Resolution 4.

If Resolution 4 is not approved at the Meeting, Resolution 5 will not be put to the Meeting. Resolution 5 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board declines to make a recommendation in relation to Resolution 5 due to their potential personal interests in the outcome of the Resolution.

9. Resolution 6 – Modification of existing Constitution

9.1

General

Under section 136(2) of the Corporations Act, a company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of Shareholders.

Resolution 6 seeks the approval of Shareholders to modify the Company’s existing Constitution.

The proposed modifications to the existing Constitution:

• (a) will incorporate recent amendments to the Corporations Act regarding the holding of meetings of Shareholders using virtual meeting technology; and

• (b) provide the ability for the Company to increase the 5% issue cap under the Corporations Act in respect of offers for monetary consideration under the New Plan to 10% (see Section 7.2 above).

The Directors believe that it is preferable in the circumstances to simply modify the relevant provisions of the existing Constitution rather than repealing the entire existing Constitution and replacing it with a new constitution.

The Directors believe these amendments are not material nor will they have any significant impact on Shareholders.

A copy of the modified Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the Company’s website https://montroyalres.com/ and at the office of the Company. A copy of the modified Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary at info@montroyalres.com. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will adopt the modified Constitution with effect from the date this Resolution 6 is passed.

Page 22

9.2 Summary of material proposed changes

(a) Convening a general meeting (Article 5.2)

The modifications provide for the ability of the Company to hold general meetings using virtual technology only, as well as physical or hybrid meetings. This improved flexibility is necessary to ensure the Company is able to hold general meetings at times where physical meetings may not be practicable (such as during pandemics).

Set out below are the proposed modifications to Article 5.2 of the existing Constitution:

Prior to modification:

• 5.5 Meeting at more than one place

• (a) A meeting of Members may be held in 2 or more places linked together by any technology that:

  • (i) gives the Eligible Members as a whole in those places a reasonable opportunity to participate in proceedings;

  • (ii) enables the chairperson to be aware of proceedings in each place; and

  • (iii) enables the Eligible Members in each place to vote on a show of hands and on a poll.

• (b) If a meeting of Members is held in 2 or more places under Article 5.5(a):

  • (i) an Eligible Member present at one of the places is taken to be present at the meeting; and

  • (ii) the chairperson of that meeting may determine at which place the meeting is taken to have been held.

After modification:

• 5.5 Convening a general meeting

• (a) The Directors may convene and arrange to hold a general meeting of the Company whenever they think fit and must do so if required to do so under the Applicable Law.

• (b) The Company may hold a meeting of Members at a time determined by the Directors:

  • (i) at one or more physical venues;

  • (ii) at one or more physical venues and using virtual meeting technology; and

  • (iii) using virtual meeting technology only,

provided that, in each case, Members as a whole are given a

Page 23

reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting, and otherwise in the manner determined by the Directors.

• (c) If the Directors elects to use virtual meeting technology for a general meeting of the Company, the Directors will determine the type of virtual meeting technology to be used, which may include any combination of telephone, video conferencing, messaging, smartphone application or any other audio and/or visual device which permits instantaneous communication.

• (d) Notice of a general meeting must be given in accordance with article 14 and the Applicable Law.

• (e) In computing the period of notice under article 5.5(d), the day of the meeting is to be disregarded.

• (f) A Director is entitled to receive notice of and to attend all general meetings and all separate meetings of the holders of any class of shares in the capital of the Company and is entitled to speak at those meetings.

(b) Issue cap for offers involving monetary consideration under an employee incentive scheme

The proposed amendment provides the ability for the Company to increase the 5% issue cap under the Corporations Act in respect of offers for monetary consideration under the New Plan to 10% (see Section 7.2 above).

Set out below are the proposed modifications to Articles 1 and 2 of the existing Constitution:

• (i) Insert as a new definition in Article 1.3:

ESS Interests has the meaning under section 1100M(1) of the Corporations Act.

• (ii) Insert as a new Article 2.10:

2.8 Issue cap for offers involving monetary consideration under an employee incentive scheme

For the purposes of section 1100V(2)(a) of the Corporations Act, the Company may only make an offer of ESS Interests if, at the time the offer is made, the Company reasonably believes:

• (a) the total number of Shares that are, or are covered by, the ESS Interests of the Company that may be issued under the offer; and

• (b) the total number of Shares that are, or are covered by, the ESS Interests that have been issued, or could have been issued, under offers made under the Company’s employee share scheme at any time during the 3 year period ending on the day the offer is made,

does not exceed 10% of the number of Shares actually on issue as at the start of the day the offer is made.

Page 24

9.3 Additional information

Resolution 6 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

Schedule 2 Summary of Material Terms of New Plan

A summary of the material terms and conditions of the New Plan is set out below:

• (a) ( Eligible Participant ): Eligible Participant means a person that has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time and is an “ESS participant” (as that term is defined in Division 1A) in relation to the Company or an associated entity of the Company. This relevantly includes, amongst others:

• (i) an employee or director of the Company or an individual who provides services to the Company;

• (ii) an employee or director of an associated entity of the Company or an individual who provides services to such an associated entity;

• (iii) a prospective person to whom paragraphs (i) or (ii) apply;

• (iv) a person prescribed by the relevant regulations for such purposes; or

• (v) certain related persons on behalf of the participants described in paragraphs (i) to (iv) (inclusive).

• (b) ( Maximum allocation ) The Company must not make an offer of Securities under the Plan in respect of which monetary consideration is payable (either upfront, or on exercise of convertible securities) where:

• (i) the total number of Plan Shares (as defined in paragraph (m) below) that may be issued or acquired upon exercise of the convertible securities offered; plus

• (ii) the total number of Plan Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of offers made under the Plan at any time during the previous 3 year period,

would exceed 5% of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the offer or such other limit as may be specified by the relevant regulations or the Company’s Constitution from time to time.

The maximum number of equity securities proposed to be issued under the Plan for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13 will be as approved by Shareholders from time to time ( ASX Limit ). This means that, subject to the following paragraph, the Company may issue up to the ASX Limit under the Plan without seeking Shareholder approval and without reducing its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company will require prior Shareholder approval for the acquisition of equity securities under the Plan to Directors, their associates and any other person whose relationship with the Company or a Director or a Director’s associate is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by Shareholders. The issue of Securities with Shareholder approval will not count towards the ASX Limit.

• (c) ( Purpose ): The purpose of the Plan is to:

• (i) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;

• (ii) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and

• (iii) align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Group (being the Company and each of its Associated Bodies Corporate), by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Securities.

Page 29

• (d) ( Plan administration ): The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion, subject to compliance with applicable laws and the Listing Rules. The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.

• (e) ( Eligibility, invitation and application ): The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for Securities on such terms and conditions as the Board decides. An invitation issued under the Plan will comply with the disclosure obligations pursuant to Division 1A.

On receipt of an invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part. If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation.

A waiting period of at least 14 days will apply to acquisitions of Securities for monetary consideration as required by the provisions of Division 1A.

• (f) ( Grant of Securities ): The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the successful applicant ( Participant ) the relevant number of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.

• (g) ( Terms of Convertible Securities ): Each ‘Convertible Security’ represents a right to acquire one or more Shares (for example, under an option or performance right), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised a Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security by virtue of holding the Convertible Security. A Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted to them. A Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them.

• (h) ( Vesting of Convertible Securities ): Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of Convertible Securities will be described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.

• (i) ( Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise ): To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Convertible Securities (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time prior to the earlier of any date specified in the vesting notice and the expiry date as set out in the invitation.

At the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, and subject to Board approval, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.

Page 30

Market Value means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.

A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.

• (j) ( Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities ): As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.

• (k) ( Forfeiture of Convertible Securities ): Where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest.

Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Group, the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.

Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the Plan rules:

• (i) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Board determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that any applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date; and

• (ii) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation.

• (l) ( Change of control ): If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant’s Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event.

• (m) ( Rights attaching to Plan Shares ): All Shares issued under the Plan, or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security, ( Plan Shares ) will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.

• (n) ( Disposal restrictions on Securities ): If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares or Convertible Securities are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction.

• (o) ( Adjustment of Convertible Securities ): If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.

If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an allotment of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.

• (p) ( Participation in new issues ): There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Convertible Securities and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company during the currency of the Convertible Securities without exercising the Convertible Securities.

• (q) ( Amendment of Plan ): Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.

No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants.

• (r) ( Plan duration ): The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely, and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.

If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant.
