EXPLANATORY NOTES

These Explanatory Notes provide additional information on matters to be considered at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The Explanatory Notes form part of the Notice of Meeting.

Background to the Resolutions

On 4 March 2024, the Company announced that it had raised $1,100,000 through the issue of 1,100,000 convertible notes ( Convertible Notes ). The Convertible Notes attract interest at the rate of 8% per annum.

The Convertible Notes are convertible into Shares either:

  • (a) on their maturity date (i.e. 6 months after their issue being 6 September 2024) ( Maturity Date ); or

  • (b) on the completion of a “ Funding Event ” being a transaction or series of transactions that resulted in the Company raising $2 million prior to the Maturity Date.

The terms of the conversion of the Convertible Notes in the case of a Funding Event ( Conversion Terms ) are that the Convertible Notes convert into Shares at a 20% discount to the average Share price of the Funding Event and that on conversion any accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Convertible Notes would also be converted into Shares in the Company.

On 17 July 2024, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments in respect of the issue of 110,000,000 new Shares at $0.02 each ( Placement Shares ) to raise $2,200,000 ( Placement ) and that the Placement Shares would be issued in two tranches.

The first tranche of 52,462,628 Shares ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ) was issued on 26 July 2024 and raised $1,049,252.56. This tranche of the Placement Shares exhausted the Company’s existing capacity to issue new securities without Shareholder approval.

The second tranche of 57,537,372 Placement Shares ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ) is therefore to be issued upon receipt of Shareholder approval, such approval being the subject of Resolution 1.

As the Company has used all of its capacity to issue securities, the issue of Shares on the conversion of the Convertible Notes also requires Shareholder approval which is the subject of Resolution 2.

Under the terms of the arrangements with the Lead Manager for the issue of the Placement Shares, the Company agreed as part of the consideration payable to the Lead manager that the Company would issue 7,000,000 Shares to the Lead manager. Again, due to the Company no longer having capacity to issue additional securities, Shareholder approval for this issue is also required. This approval is the subject of Resolution 3.

In order to restore the Company’s ability to issue new securities without Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, the Company seeks shareholder approval for the ratification of the issue of the 52,462,628 Shares issued under Tranche 1 of the Placement. This is the subject of Resolution 4 and will if approved allow the Company to issue up to 25% of its share capital without Shareholder approval in a 12-month period.

Finally, the Company proposes to issue 25,000,000 Options to the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Blake Cannavo or his nominees pursuant to its 2025 Short Term Incentive Plan. The Company also seeks to issue a further 20,000,000 Options to Mr Cannavo or his nominees and 10,000,000 Options to each of Mr Philip Gardner and Mr James Walker or their nominees under the Company’s 2025 Long Term Incentive Plan. The issue of the Options requires shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14 and is the subject of Resolutions 5, 6, 7 and 8. All valuation of Options contained herein use the Black and Scholes valuation methodology.

Item 1 – Issue of Shares Pursuant to Placement (Resolution 1)

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 57,537,372 fully paid Shares at $0.02 per Share.

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 a listed company may issue up to 15% of its issued capital without Shareholder approval in a 12-month period. ASX Listing Rule 7.1A allows the 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to be increased to 25% if Shareholder approval was obtained. Prior to the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares the Company could issue up to 25% of its capital in a 12- month period without Shareholder approval.

As noted above following the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares the Company currently has no capacity to issue additional securities and as such under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 must receive Shareholder approval to do so. The Company seeks such approval for the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.

ASX Listing Rule 7.3 requires the following information to be provided in respect of Resolution 1:

  • (a) The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to sophisticated and professional investors nominated by ABL Capital Partners (the Lead Manager ) from its client base of investors who invest in mining exploration companies. These investors are not Related Parties of the Company.

  • (b) The number of Shares to be issued pursuant to Resolution 1 is 57,537,372.

  • (c) The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued as ordinary shares and will be fully paid.

  • (d) The Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued on or around 5 September 2024 following the passing of Resolution1.

  • (e) The consideration for the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be $0.02 per Share.

  • (f) The purpose of the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares is to raise funds to be used to assess new opportunities, continuing exploration in Palmerville, Queensland and conducting ongoing due diligence investigations into the Far Fanning and Black Jack projects with Ashby Mining Limited as previously announced,

  • (g) A Voting Exclusion Statement applies in respect of Resolution 1.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will issue the Tranche 2 Placement Shares and will undertake its business plans or make additional acquisitions.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company may not be able to undertake all of its business plans or make additional acquisitions.

If Resolution 4 below is passed the Company may be able to issue some (but not all) of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares. However, if Resolution 4 is also not passed the Company will be unable to issue any additional securities without Shareholder approval until 12 months have elapsed since the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

Board Recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

Chair’s Voting Intentions

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies issued to them in favour of Resolution 1.

Item 2 – Issue of Shares on Conversion of Convertible Notes (Resolution 2)

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 71,884,260 fully paid Shares on or before 30 September 2024 following the conversion of the Convertible Notes pursuant to a Funding Event under the terms of the Convertible Notes ( Conversion Shares ). The Funding Event has not yet occurred and is dependent on the passing of Resolution 1. If Resolution 1 is passed, then the Funding Event will be complete on the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares pursuant to Resolution 1.

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, a listed company may issue up to 15% of its issued capital without Shareholder approval in a 12-month period. ASX Listing Rule 7.1A allows the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1 to be increased to 25% if Shareholder approval was obtained. Prior to the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares the Company could issue up to 25% of its capital in a 12-month period without Shareholder approval.

As noted above following the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares the Company currently has no capacity to issue additional securities and as such under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 must receive Shareholder approval to do so.

Under Resolution 2 the Company seeks such approval for the issue of the Shares upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes.

ASX Listing Rule 7.3 requires the following information to be provided in respect of Resolution 2:

  • (a) The Conversion Shares will be issued to the holders of the Convertible Notes as at the date of their conversion.

  • (b) The number of Conversion Shares to be issued pursuant to Resolution 2 is 71,884,260.

  • (f) The purpose of the issue of the is to convert the Convertible Notes in accordance with the Conversion Terms upon the completion of a Funding Event as set out above.

  • (g) A Voting Exclusion Statement applies in respect of Resolution 2.

Resolution 2 is subject to the passing of Resolution 1.

If Shareholders approve Resolution 1 the Company will complete the Funding Event on the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares and then if Resolution 2 is also passed convert the Convertible Notes in accordance with the Conversion Terms upon completion of the Funding Event as set out above.

If Resolution 1 is not passed the Company will be unable (even if Resolution 4 below is passed) to issue sufficient Tranche 2 Placement Shares to be able to raise the required $2,000,000 for a conversion to be triggered due to a Funding Event occurring and as such the Company will not be required to convert the Convertible Notes at this time.

If Resolution 1 is not passed Resolution 2 will be withdrawn. If Resolution 2 is withdrawn, the Company will, given the timing, be required to redeem the Convertible Notes on the Maturity Date for the $1,100,000 face value and six months of accrued interest. The Company may be unable to do so depending on its financial circumstances at the time.

Item 4 – Ratification of Share Issues (Resolution 4)

As noted above, on 26 July 2024, the Company issued the 52,462,628 Tranche 1 Placement Shares and as a result it cannot issue additional securities for 12 months from that date unless it obtains prior shareholder approval as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or the Shareholders ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares and thereby refresh the 25% capacity the Company had prior to the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows the Company to seek Shareholder approval to ratify the issue of Shares which were issued in reliance of ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without shareholder approval. Such ratification restores the Company’s ability to issue up to 25% of its share capital in a 12- month period without seeking Shareholder approval.

  • (g) A Voting Exclusion Statement applies in respect of Resolution 4.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, then the Company will have no capacity to issue the additional securities without Shareholder approval until 26 July 2025. Unless such Shareholder Approval is obtained when the Company wishes to issue additional securities it may not be able to undertake all of its business plans, make additional acquisitions or meet its obligations.

Item 5 – Grant of Options to the MD & CEO, in respect of the FY25 STI (Resolution 5)

The Company has implemented an Executive Incentive Plan (approved by Shareholders on 31 January 2022) ( Plan ), under which eligible executives may receive grants of Options to acquire Shares in the Company, subject to meeting certain performance and service conditions.

Options are proposed to be granted because they provide immediate Share price exposure and provide further alignment with Shareholders’ interests.

Native Mineral Resources Holdings Limited Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

==> picture [59 x 53] intentionally omitted <==

Resolution 5 seeks approval for the grant of 20,000,000 Options in two tranches each of 10,000,000 Options to the MD & CEO, Mr Blake Cannavo, in respect of the short-term variable component of his remuneration package for the 2025 financial year ( FY25 STI ) on the terms summarised below.

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval for the issue of securities to a director under an employee incentive scheme. The Company wishes to have flexibility to satisfy Options by way of issuing new Shares or acquiring Shares on-market.

Accordingly, Shareholders are asked to approve the grant of 20,000,000 Options to the MD & CEO under the Plan, on the terms and conditions set out below. Approval of this resolution will also result in the Options granted to the MD & CEO being included as an exception to the approval requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

This means the Options granted to the MD & CEO, and any other Shares issued pursuant to this approval, will not use up part of the 15% limit available under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

If approval is not obtained from Shareholders, then the Board will consider whether to proceed with the grant, make the grant on different terms (e.g., an equivalent cash STI) or acquire Shares on-market to satisfy the Options.

The Company is not seeking approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). It is noted that for the purposes of Chapter 2E the Directors of the Company are related parties of the Company by virtue of section 228(2) of the Corporations Act. A “financial benefit” is defined in the Corporations Act in broad terms and expressly includes a public company issuing securities to a related party. The provision of a financial benefit to a related party, without shareholder approval is prohibited under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act. Section 211 of the Corporations Act provides that shareholder approval is not needed to give a financial benefit, where the benefit is reasonable remuneration in the circumstance of the Company and the related party.

The Company is of the view that grant of the Options is remuneration that is reasonable in the circumstances of the Company and aligns the remuneration of the MD & CEO with interest of Shareholders.

Key terms of the Options

An overview of the key terms of the proposed grant of Options to the MD & CEO under the FY25 STI are set out below. The options are issued under the Company’s Executive Incentive Plan Rules.

Price.
Options do not carry any dividend or voting rights, or in general, a right to participate
in other corporate actions such as bonus issues.
Options are not transferable (except in limited circumstances or with the consent of
the Board).
Vesting
conditions
The Options will vest on the satisfaction of following conditions:

the Share price being equal to or greater than $0.10 (calculated using a 5-
day VWAP); and

at any time prior to the end of FY25, being 30 June 2025.

Cessation of
employment
If the MD & CEO ceases employment due to resignation or termination for cause
(including gross misconduct), all unvested Options will be forfeited upon cessation.
Where the MD & CEO ceases employment for any other reason prior to Options
vesting, all unvested Options will generally continue “on-foot” and may vest at the
end of the performance period to the extent that the relevant share-price related
vesting conditions have been satisfied (and the service-related condition will be
deemed to have been satisfied).
The Board retains discretion to apply any other treatment it deems appropriate in
the circumstances.
If cessation due to termination for cause, all vested Options will be forfeited.
Where the MD & CEO ceases employment after vesting other than due to
termination for cause, but before vested Options are exercised, the MD & CEO must
exercise vested Options by the earlier of 90 days of cessation or the date the
Options expire (i.e., the fourth anniversary of the date of grant).
Malus /
Clawback
The Executive Incentive Plan provides the Board with the ability to apply malus /
clawback and declare that all, or some, of the MD & CEO’s Options lapse or Shares
held under the Executive Incentive Plan are forfeited.
The Board may apply malus / clawback in certain circumstances, including where
the participant’s actions:

constitute fraud, or dishonest or gross misconduct in relation to the affairs of the
Company;

bring the Company into disrepute; or
are in breach of their obligations to the Company.

Do not write the name of the issuer company or the registered securityholder in the space.

Appointment of a Second Proxy

You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by contacting the company’s securities registry or you may copy this form.

STEP 3 SIGN THE FORM

The form must be signed as follows: Individual: This form is to be signed by the securityholder.

Joint Holding : where the holding is in more than one name, all the securityholders should sign.

Power of Attorney: to sign under a Power of Attorney, you must have already lodged it with the registry. Alternatively, attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

Companies: this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form should be signed by that person. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place.

STEP 4 LODGEMENT

To appoint a second proxy you must:

(a) complete two Proxy Forms. On each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or the number of securities applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded.

(b) return both forms together in the same envelope.

STEP 2 VOTING DIRECTIONS TO YOUR PROXY

To direct your proxy how to vote, mark one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of securities are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number that you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item for all your securities your vote on that item will be invalid.

Proxy which is a Body Corporate

Where a body corporate is appointed as your proxy, the representative of that body corporate attending the meeting must have provided an “Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission. An Appointment of Corporate Representative form can be obtained from the company’s securities registry.

Proxy forms (and any Power of Attorney under which it is signed) must be received no later than 48 hours before the commencement of the meeting, therefore by 2:00pm (AEST) on Monday, 2 September 2024. Any Proxy Form received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled meeting.
