Chairman’s letter

Dear Eligible Shareholder

On behalf of the Board of NMT, I am pleased to invite you to participate in the recently announced 1 for 8 pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement offer of new, fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of NMT ( New Shares ) at an offer price of $0.19 per New Share ( Offer Price ) ( Entitlement Offer ).

The Entitlement Offer is not underwritten.

Rationale for the Offer and use of funds

On Tuesday, 21 November 2023, NMT announced its intention to raise approximately $20 million (before costs) by way of an equity raising, comprising:

  • a placement, under which NMT has raised approximately $9 million (before costs) ( Placement ); and

  • the Entitlement Offer to raise up to a maximum of approximately $13 million (before costs),

(the Entitlement Offer and the Placement are together referred to as the Offer ).

The proceeds from the Offer, together with existing cash on hand, will be used for:

  • activities at the Primobius LiB recycling development;

  • lithium chemical research development activities;

  • vanadium and titanium business units; and

  • working capital, corporate and Offer costs.

Placement

The Placement was successfully completed on Wednesday, 29 November 2023, with NMT placing approximately 47.4 million New Shares to various institutional and sophisticated investors at the Offer Price and raising approximately $9 million (before costs).

NMT received strong demand from new institutional investors and sophisticated investors. In conducting the Placement, NMT looked to identify new global and institutional investors to expand the institutional ownership of NMT.

The New Shares issued under the Placement will rank equally with existing Shares.

Details of the Entitlement Offer

Under the Entitlement Offer, Eligible Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for 1 New Share at the Offer Price for every 8 fully paid ordinary share in NMT ( Share ) held as at 5pm (Perth time) on Friday, 24 November 2023 ( Entitlement ). Your Entitlement is set out in your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form that accompanies this Offer Booklet.

The Offer Price of $0.19 per New Share represents:

  • a discount of 24.0% to the closing price of $0.250 per Share on Monday, 20 November 2023; and

  • a discount of 26.1% to the 5 day VWAP of $0.257 per Share up to and including Monday, 20 November 2023.

If you take up your full Entitlement, you may also apply for additional New Shares in excess of your Entitlement, at the Offer Price (subject to compliance with applicable laws and to the terms set out in this Offer Booklet) ( Top Up Facility ). Additional New Shares

page 8

110716286.1

will only be available where there is a shortfall between Applications received from Eligible Shareholders and the number of New Shares proposed to be issued under the Entitlement Offer. NMT retains the flexibility to scale back Applications for additional New Shares at its discretion (refer to Section 3.3 of this Offer Booklet for more information).

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable and therefore your Entitlements will not be tradeable on the ASX or otherwise transferable. This means that Eligible Shareholders who do not take up their full Entitlement will not receive any payment or value for those Entitlements and their percentage holding in NMT will be reduced.[2]

Support for the Entitlement Offer

The NMT Board supports the equity raising and each of the Directors who hold Shares will participate in the Entitlement Offer.

General information

The Entitlement Offer to which this Offer Booklet relates closes at 5pm (Perth time) on Friday, 8 December 2023 (unless extended).

The Offer Booklet contains important information about the Entitlement Offer. It is important that you carefully read this Offer Booklet and the other publicly available information about NMT, including information on our website

(https://www.neometals.com.au) and consider, in particular, the risk factors referred to in this Offer Booklet and the equity raising presentation released on Tuesday, 21 November 2023 before making any investment decision.

2 Overview of the Offer

2.1 Overview

Under the Entitlement Offer, NMT is offering Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 8 Existing Shares held on the Record Date at the Offer Price.

The Entitlement Offer is intended to raise a maximum of approximately $13 million (before costs), assuming all of the New Shares offered under the Entitlement Offer are subscribed for. Eligible Shareholders who take up their full Entitlement may also participate in the Top Up Facility by applying for additional New Shares in excess of their Entitlement at the Offer Price (subject to compliance with applicable laws and to the terms set out in this Offer Booklet). The Entitlement Offer is not underwritten so if there is a Shortfall, NMT may not raise the full amount sought under the Entitlement Offer.

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable, which means that the Entitlements cannot be traded or otherwise transferred on the ASX or any other exchange or privately.

New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer are to be issued at the same price as New Shares issued under the Placement. If you do not participate in the Entitlement Offer, you will not receive any value for your Entitlement.

Please refer to the ASX Announcement and the Investor Presentation included in this Offer Booklet for information on the rationale for the Entitlement Offer, the use of proceeds of the Entitlement Offer, and for further information on NMT.[5]

2.2 Purpose of Offer

The proceeds from the Offer, together with existing cash on hand, will be used for:

  • activities at the Primobius LiB recycling development;

  • lithium chemical research development activities;

  • vanadium and titanium business units; and

  • working capital, corporate and Offer costs.

5 The ASX Announcement and the Investor Presentation are current as at the date of their release. There may be other announcements that have been made by NMT after their release and before the Entitlement Offer closes at 5pm (Perth time) on Friday, 8 December 2023 (unless extended) that may be relevant to your consideration of whether to take part in the Entitlement Offer. Therefore, it is prudent to check whether any further announcements have been made by NMT before submitting an Application.

page 14

110716286

2.3 Placement

NMT has already raised approximately $9 million (before costs) from institutional investors and sophisticated investors as part of the Placement, at the Offer Price.

New Shares were issued under the Placement on Wednesday, 29 November 2023.

2.4 Entitlement Offer

The Entitlement Offer is being made pursuant to section 708AA of the Corporations Act (as modified by ASIC Corporations (Non-Traditional Rights Issues) Instrument 2016/84 and ASIC Corporations (Disregarding Technical Relief) Instrument 2016/73) which allows rights issues to be offered without a prospectus, provided certain conditions are satisfied.

As a result, the Entitlement Offer is not being made under a prospectus and it is important for Eligible Shareholders to read and understand the information on NMT and the Entitlement Offer made publicly available prior to taking up all or part of their Entitlement. In particular, please refer to the materials in Section 4 of this Offer Booklet and other announcements made by NMT (available at www.asx.com.au) and all other parts of this Offer Booklet carefully before making any decisions in relation to your Entitlement.

Each Eligible Shareholder is entitled to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 8 Existing Shares held on the Record Date. In addition, Eligible Shareholders who take up their full Entitlement may also participate in the Top Up Facility by applying for additional New Shares in excess of their Entitlement at the Offer Price.

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable. This means that Eligible Shareholders who do not take up their Entitlements by the Closing Date, will not receive any payment or value for those Entitlements, and their proportionate equity interest in NMT will be diluted.

Your Entitlement is set out on the accompanying personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and has been calculated as 1 New Share for every 8 Existing Shares you held as at the Record Date. There is no minimum subscription to participate in the Entitlement Offer . Fractional entitlements to New Shares have been rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares.

New Shares issued pursuant to the Entitlement Offer will be fully paid and rank equally with Existing Shares on issue.

If you take no action, you will not be allocated any New Shares and your Entitlement will lapse.

Please consult your financial adviser, accountant, or other professional adviser if you have any queries or are uncertain about any aspect of the Entitlement Offer. In particular, please refer to the “Key Risks” section of the Investor Presentation (see Section 4 of this Offer Booklet).

2.5

Eligibility of Shareholders

The Entitlement Offer is being offered to Eligible Shareholders only.

Eligible Shareholders ” are Shareholders as at 5pm (Perth time) on the Record Date who:

  • are registered as a holder of Existing Shares;

  • have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand or persons that NMT has determined in its discretion are Eligible Shareholders in compliance with applicable law;

page 15

110716286

  • are not in the United States and are not a person (including nominees or custodians) acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States in respect of the relevant underlying holders of Existing Shares; and

  • are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Entitlement Offer without any requirement for a prospectus or other formal offer document to be lodged or registered.

Ineligible Shareholders are Shareholders who are not Eligible Shareholders.

NMT has determined that it is unreasonable to extend the Entitlement Offer to Ineligible Shareholders because of the small number of such Shareholders, the number and value of Shares that they hold and the cost of complying with the applicable regulations in jurisdictions outside Australia and New Zealand, but reserves its right to do so (subject to compliance with the applicable laws). NMT and the Lead Manager disclaim any liability in respect of the exercise or otherwise of that determination and discretion, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

2.6

Placement of Shortfall

Any Entitlements not taken up under the Entitlement Offer (or subscribed for under the Top Up Facility) will form the Shortfall. NMT reserves the right to place any Shortfall Shares at its discretion (including in conjunction with the Lead Manager). Any Shortfall must be issued within three months after the Closing Date and at a price per New Share that is not less than the Offer Price. Shortfall Shares will not be allocated or issued where NMT considers that to do so would result in a breach of the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules or any other relevant regulation or law.

2.7

No underwriting

The Entitlement Offer is not underwritten. Accordingly NMT may not raise the maximum proceeds of approximately $13 million (before costs) sought under the Entitlement Offer.

110716286

3 How to apply

3.1 Your Entitlement

An Entitlement and Acceptance Form setting out your Entitlement (calculated as 1 New Share for every 8 Existing Shares held on the Record Date with fractional entitlements rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares) accompanies this Offer Booklet. Eligible Shareholders may subscribe for all or part of their Entitlement. If you have more than one registered holding of Shares, you will be sent more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and you will have separate Entitlements for each separate holding.

Any New Shares not taken up by the Closing Date may be made available to those Eligible Shareholders who took up their full Entitlement and applied for additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility. There is no guarantee that such Shareholders will receive any New Shares applied for under the Top Up Facility. New Shares under the Top Up Facility will only be allocated to Eligible Shareholders if available and then only if and to the extent that NMT so determines, in its absolute discretion.

Please note that the Entitlement stated on your Entitlement and Acceptance Form may be in excess of the actual Entitlement you may be permitted to take up where, for example, you are holding Shares on behalf of a person in the United States (refer to the definition of Eligible Shareholders in Section 2.5 of this Offer Booklet).

Eligible Shareholders who hold Shares in the capacity as trustee, nominee, or custodian (or in any other capacity) for a person that is in the United States cannot take up Entitlements or purchase New Shares on behalf of that person. See Section 3.12 of this Offer Booklet for the notice to nominees and custodians.

Eligible Shareholders should be aware that an investment in NMT involves both known and unknown risks. The key risks identified by NMT are set out in the section entitled ‘Key Risks’ of the Investor Presentation (enclosed in Section 4 of this Offer Booklet).

3.2 Options available to you

The number of New Shares to which Eligible Shareholders are entitled is shown on the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

Eligible Shareholders may:

  • Take up all of your Entitlement and, if you do so, you may apply for additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility (see Section 3.3 of this Offer Booklet).

  • Take up part of your Entitlement and allow the balance to lapse (see Section 3.4 of this Offer Booklet).

  • Do nothing, in which case your Entitlement will lapse and you will receive no value for those lapsed Entitlements (see Section 3.5 of this Offer Booklet).

The Entitlement Offer is an offer to Eligible Shareholders only. Ineligible Shareholders may not participate in the Entitlement Offer.

NMT reserves the right to reject any Application that is not correctly completed or that is received after the Closing Date.

The Closing Date for acceptance of the Entitlement Offer is 5pm (Perth time) on Friday, 8 December 2023 (unless extended).

110716286

3.3 Taking up all of your Entitlement or taking up all of your Entitlement and participating in the Top Up Facility

If you apply to take up all of your Entitlement, you may also apply for additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility. Any amounts received by NMT in excess of the Offer Price multiplied by your full Entitlement may be treated as an Application to apply for as many additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility as your Application Monies will pay for in full.

If you choose to apply for additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility and if your Application is successful (in whole or in part), your New Shares will be issued to you at the same time that other New Shares are issued under the Entitlement Offer. Additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility will only be allocated to Eligible Shareholders if available. If you apply for additional New Shares, there is no guarantee that you will be allocated any additional New Shares.

3.4 Taking up part of your Entitlement and allowing the balance to lapse

Payment must be received by the Share Registry by no later than 5pm (Perth time) on Friday, 8 December 2023 (unless extended).

Eligible Shareholders who do not take up their Entitlements in full will not receive any value for those Entitlements they do not take up.

The portion of your Entitlement not taken up will lapse without further action by you.

3.5 Allow your Entitlement to lapse

If you do not wish to take up all or any part of your Entitlement, do not take any further action and all or that part of your Entitlement will lapse.

By allowing your Entitlement to lapse you will forgo any exposure to increases or decreases in the value of the New Shares had you taken up your Entitlement. Your percentage interest in NMT will also be reduced as a result of the Entitlement Offer.

3.6

Consequences of not taking up all or part of your Entitlement

If you do not accept all or part of your Entitlement in accordance with the instructions set out above, those New Shares for which you would have otherwise been entitled under the Entitlement Offer (including New Shares that relate to the portion of your Entitlement

Eligible Shareholders who do not participate fully in the Entitlement Offer will have their percentage holding in NMT reduced.

All Shareholders (other than those Shareholders who have participated in the Placement pro rata to their existing shareholding in NMT), including those Eligible Shareholders who participate in the Entitlement Offer, will have their percentage holding in NMT reduced by the Placement.

Nominees and custodians who hold Shares as nominees or custodians should note in particular that the Entitlement Offer is not available to:

3.13 Rights of NMT

For the avoidance of doubt, NMT reserves the right (in its absolute sole discretion) to reduce the number of Entitlements or New Shares allocated to Eligible Shareholders, or persons claiming to be Eligible Shareholders, if their claims prove to be overstated or if they (or their nominees/custodians) fail to provide information to substantiate their claims. In that case NMT may, in its discretion, require the relevant Shareholder to transfer excess New Shares to a nominee (including the Lead Manager) at the Offer Price per New Share. If necessary, the relevant Shareholder may need to transfer Existing Shares held by them or purchase additional Shares on-market to meet this obligation. The relevant Shareholder will bear any and all losses and expenses caused by subscribing for New Shares in excess of their Entitlement and any actions they are required to take in this regard.

By applying under the Entitlement Offer (including under the Top Up Facility), you irrevocably acknowledge and agree to do the above as required by NMT in its absolute discretion. You acknowledge that there is no time limit on the ability of NMT to require any of the actions set out above.

NMT also reserves the right to reject any acceptance of an Entitlement that it believes comes from a person who is not eligible to accept an Entitlement.

3.14

Withdrawal of the Entitlement Offer

Subject to applicable law, NMT reserves the right to withdraw the Entitlement Offer at any time before the issue of New Shares, in which case NMT will refund any Application Monies already received in accordance with the Corporations Act and will do so without interest being payable to Applicants.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree that any Application Monies paid by you to NMT will not entitle you to receive any interest and that any interest earned in respect of Application Monies will belong to NMT.

Refund amounts, if any, will be paid in Australian dollars. You will be paid either by direct credit to the nominated bank account as noted on the NMT share register as at the Closing Date or by cheque sent by ordinary post to your address as recorded on the share register (the registered address of the first-named in the case of joint holders).

3.15

Risks

Eligible Shareholders should be aware that an investment in NMT involves risks. The key risks identified by NMT are set out in the Investor Presentation in Section 4 of this Offer Booklet, but these are not an exhaustive list of the risks associated with an investment in the Shares. You should consider these rights carefully in light of your personal circumstances, including financial and taxation issues, before making an investment decision in connection with the Entitlement Offer.

3.16

  • a non-renounceable entitlement issue of New Shares to eligible shareholders in Australia and New Zealand ( Eligible Shareholders ) to raise up to approximately A$13 million (before costs) ( Entitlement Offer ), the Placement and Entitlement Offer collectively, the Offer .

Neometals Managing Director Chris Reed commented:

“We have not raised equity capital for 11 years and welcome new investors to join the register as well as those existing shareholders topping up their holdings. Not only will the Placement and Entitlement Offer allow us to bridge finance ahead of more material revenues to the Primobius JV, it also allows us to bolster what has historically been a retail dominated register.”

Placement

NMT proposes to raise approximately A$7.0 million under the Placement at a price of A$0.19 per New Share ( Offer Price ), which will be a total of approximately 36.8 million New Shares,[1] that will be issued in accordance with NMT’s ASX Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity.

New Shares issued under the Placement will rank equally with existing NMT ordinary shares from their date of issue. The Offer Price represents a discount of:

  • 24.0% to the Company’s last closing price on 20 November 2023 of A$0.250; and

  • 26.1% to the 5-day volume weighted average price of A$0.257.

Settlement of the Placement is scheduled to occur on Tuesday, 28 November 2023. New Shares issued under the Placement do not have rights to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

Entitlement Offer

NMT is also undertaking the Entitlement Offer, which is a 1 for 8 pro rata non-underwritten, nonrenounceable entitlement offer to Eligible Shareholders (being holders of fully paid ordinary shares in Australia and New Zealand) to raise up to approximately a further A$13 million (before costs).

1 Neometals, in conjunction with the lead manager and the co-manager for the Placement, reserves the right to accept oversubscriptions for Placement shares and to determine the maximum number of Placement shares that will be issued in the Placement.

  1. The Placement and the Entitlement Offer are not underwritten. There is no certainty that the full amount sought will be raised. If this occurs, or a lesser amount is raised, the Company may not be able to meet its current objectives across all business units. Whilst the directors believe that additional funding can be obtained, no assurances can be made that it will be appropriate or on terms acceptable to the Company. Accordingly, the Company may be required to reduce the scope of its activities and prioritise funds towards the Lithium Battery Recycling business unit. 2. Equity Placement and Entitlement Issue sources are pre-costs of the offer. A A$7m raise for the Placement assumes that no over-subscriptions are received for the Placement and a A$13m raise for the Entitlement Offer is on a maximum subscription basis. 3. See NMT SepQ Report.

Key Risks (1/6)

Before investing in New Shares, you should consider whether this investment is suitable for you. Potential investors should consider publicly available information on Neometals and the Neometals group of companies (Group) (such as that available on the websites of Neometals and ASX), carefully consider their personal circumstances and consult their stockbroker, solicitor, accountant or other professional advisers before making an investment decision.

This section discusses some of the key risks associated with an investment in Neometals, which may affect the value of Neometals’ shares. Investors should be aware that an investment in Neometals involves many risks, which may be different to the risks associated with an investment in other companies. There are numerous widespread risks associated with investing in any form of business and with investing in the share market generally. There is also a range of specific risks associated with Neometals’ business interests. Many of these risk factors are beyond the control of Neometals because of the nature of the business of Neometals and its stage of development. The following risks, which are not exhaustive and not necessarily listed in order of importance, represent some of the major risk factors which potential investors need to be aware of in relation to an investment in Neometals.

Business objectives

Neometals’ success depends on its ability to expand, operate and manage successfully its operations. Its ability to expand successfully will depend upon a number of factors, including the continued development of its business and projects, the successful commercialisation of its projects, the development of the supply chain and the successful commercialisation of its technologies at an economic price the hiring, training, and retention of additional personnel, the ability to enhance its operational, financial, and management systems, the availability of adequate financing, competitive factors, general economic and business conditions and the ability to implement methods for revenue generation.

There can be no assurance that Neometals can successfully achieve any or all of its business objectives in the manner or time period that it expects. In order to achieve its objectives, the Group will be required to invest in projects that may result in short-term and long-term costs without generating any current revenue and therefore may be dilutive to earnings. Neometals cannot provide any assurance that it will realise, in full or in part, the anticipated benefits it expects from its growth strategy. Failure to achieve its business objectives could have a material, adverse effect on Neometals’ business, results of operations or financial condition.

Joint ventures

Neometals’ interest in the LiB recycling, lithium chemicals and vanadium recovery projects are the subject of joint venture arrangements with third parties and Neometals’ interest in the Barrambie titanium project could become the subject of a joint venture in the future. Whilst Neometals has experience participating in joint ventures (e.g. the Mt Marion project, which was the subject of a three-party joint venture prior to Neometals’ exit), the conduct of joint venture arrangements are subject to a variety of risks, including disagreement on operational or strategic decision making, inability of counterparties to meet their financial or other joint venture commitments or breach or failure to comply with the terms of the joint venture agreement. The occurrence of these events may give rise to the right to terminate the joint venture arrangement or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the development of the projects which are the subject of the joint venture.

Project development

Neometals has an interest in a number of pre-commercialisation projects, including its Lithium Chemicals joint venture projects and the Barrambie project. Whilst there has been continued progress made towards final investment decisions at all of Neometals’ projects, there can be no guarantee that any project will receive a positive final investment decision or prove to be commercially viable in the future. There are industry partners involved in the joint ventures, however, Neometals cannot guarantee the successful output of any of these projects. Each project will be subject to the necessary technical assessments and feasibility studies. As with all new technologies, the LiB recycling flowsheet and vanadium recovery projects may encounter delays and incur additional development and production costs and expenses, over and above those expected by the Directors, in order to develop the technology to the sufficient standard, quality, volume and cost that make the projects economically viable. There can be no guarantee that the commercial scale plant for the LiB recycling project will operate at the expected outputs based on the successful pilot plant and demonstration plant. Performance could be impacted by a number of factors, including damage, environmental factors, maintenance, feedstock supplies, design failings and quality control.

Furthermore, with all Neometals’ projects there can be no guarantee that the output will meet the requirements of the regulatory certification or testing processes or that they will meet the regulatory or production requirements necessary for commercial distribution. If Neometals’ development programme is curtailed due to any of the above issues, this may have a material adverse effect on Neometals’ business model and financial performance. In such circumstances, Neometals will assess the ongoing viability of the particular project at the relevant time and make any necessary decisions regarding continued allocation of capital to that project as it may consider appropriate.

Additional requirements for capital

Neometals may require additional funds to respond to business challenges, enhancing existing products and services and further developing its sales and marketing channels and capabilities. Accordingly, Neometals may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. If Neometals raises additional funds through further issues of equity or convertible debt securities, existing shareholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of current shareholders. Any debt financing secured by the Group in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to its capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for Neometals to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. In addition, the Group may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favourable to it, if at all. If Neometals is unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to it, when required, its ability to continue to support, its business growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited or could affect its financial viability. In the context of any project where any required financing is not available, Neometals will assess the viability of that project at the relevant time and make any necessary decisions regarding continued allocation of capital to that project as it may consider appropriate in the circumstances.

Key Risks (2/6)

Operating and budget risks

The proposed activities, costs and use of Neometals' cash resources are based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of technical testing, analysis and feasibility studies. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from Neometals' estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely affect Neometals' viability.

The proposed activities of Neometals including economic studies are dependent on economic inputs from commodity prices, metallurgical tests, chemical testing and market tests of which there is no guarantee of positive economics. It is a risk that studies may not be completed or may be delayed indefinitely where key inputs show negative economic outcomes. No assurances can be given that Neometals will achieve commercial viability through the successful implementation of its projects. Until Neometals is able to realise value from its projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses.

Neometals has successfully piloted its LiB recycling flow sheet. It continues to conduct value improvement refinements of its flow sheet at laboratory and pilot plant level working in conjunction with key (or preferred) equipment suppliers and technology providers. Investment in Neometals should be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies at this stage of development, including factors such as design and construction of efficient mining and processing facilities within capital expenditure budgets. With all scaling up of processing technology tested in pilot conditions there can be a level of uncertainty and, therefore, risk associated with operating parameters and costs. The nature of the technology risk is the cost of developing an economically viable commercial operation and production facility.

Technology and technology advancement risks

Neometals is at an early stage of commercialisation of its technology projects. Performance data is taken from the results of feasibility testing and demonstration plants. As the first commercial operations are yet to be commissioned there is a risk that larger scale projects will not match the extrapolated performance data from the early results and upgrades and investment will be required to meet the performance criteria. The Directors acknowledge that scaling up to full commercial services is not guaranteed but that every effort has been made to provide an accurate assessment of potential performance.

As the energy storage megatrends is a relatively young sector it is inevitable that new technologies will become available. The Group can give no assurances that such advances will not put the Group in an uncompetitive position.

Intellectual property

The Group has developed a proprietary process relating to the technology involved in many of its projects, particularly its lithium-ion battery recycling joint venture, Primobius. The Group relies on various intellectual property rights, including patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets, as well as confidentiality provisions and contractual arrangements, and other forms of statutory and common law protection to safeguard its intellectual property rights. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for third parties to obtain and use the Group’s intellectual property. If the Group does not protect and enforce its intellectual property rights adequately and successfully, its competitive position may come under threat, which could adversely affect the Group’s business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results.

The Group currently has a number of pending patent applications and, whilst the directors are confident that these applications will lead to granted patents, there can be no guarantee that any of these applications will be granted. Only a granted patent right can be enforced and it is not currently possible to predict the scope of any future granted rights with any certainty. The following risks should be noted as to why the pending patent applications may not result in granted patents:

  • separate patentability searches are performed nationally after applications are filed in the various desired countries. If relevant new prior art is found, a national patent office may raise new objections to the national application, which could impact the other national applications;

  • most patent offices provide a mechanism for third parties to file objections against pending patent applications. The patent office will usually require the applicant to address the issues raised in order to grant or maintain a patent; and • once a patent is granted it can still be challenged by third parties.

There may not be adequate protection for the Group’s intellectual property in every country in which the Group sells its services and technology and policing unauthorised use of proprietary information is difficult and expensive. It may not be possible to identify all instances of infringement and take the necessary action against these instances due to the global scale of the marketplace. Should a third party successfully demonstrate priority over any of these rights, it could inhibit the Group from using its technology in certain territories.

The steps which the Group has taken and intends to take to protect its intellectual property may be inadequate to prevent the misappropriation of its proprietary technology. Any misappropriation of the Group’s intellectual property could have a negative impact on the Group’s business and its operating results. Furthermore, the Group may need to take legal action to enforce its intellectual property, to protect trade secrets or to determine the validity or scope of the proprietary rights of others. Litigation relating to the Group’s intellectual property, whether instigated by the Group to protect its rights or arising out of alleged infringement of third-party rights, may result in substantial costs and the diversion of resources and management attention and there can be no guarantees as to the outcome of any such litigation, or that it can be effectively used to enforce the Group’s rights.

Reliance on the current lithium-ion batteries composition

The Group’s proprietary technology is focused on the recycling capability for the current feedstock of lithium-ion batteries. Should the composition of the batteries be developed or alternative battery technologies be adopted, this could have a material, adverse effect on the financial condition, operational performance and business of the Group. The current and next generation of batteries are anticipated to use cobalt and nickel as key components of their production. These metals are in high demand and have a lower supply, resulting in these metals demanding a higher price at the point of sale. Should future technology place less reliance on these metals, the output of the Group’s proprietary process may have a lower end value, materially and adversely affecting the revenues of the business.

Relationships with key suppliers

The Group’s success depends on its ability and future ability to secure raw materials; however, this ability may be impacted by numerous factors, including global demand or other factors limiting the availability, cost or quality of supply, which would impact upon the Group’s performance.

Key Risks (3/6)

Environmental approvals and health & safety compliance

Neometals’ operations, particularly relating to the vanadium recovery project and the Barrambie project, are, and will going forward be, subject to various laws and regulations relating the protection of the environment, including regular environmental impact assessments and the obtaining of appropriate permits or approvals from relevant environmental authorities. Whilst Neometals believes that it will obtain the necessary approvals and permits, there can be no guarantee that these applications will be successful or that, if obtained, they will not be withdrawn or made subject to limitations that may otherwise effect the operations of Neometals.

Governmental approvals, licences and permits are, as a practical matter, subject to the discretion of the applicable governments or governmental offices. Neometals must comply with known standards, existing laws and regulations that may entail greater or lesser costs and delays depending on the nature of the activity to be permitted and the interpretation of the laws and regulations implemented by the permitting authority. New laws and regulations, amendments to existing laws and regulations, or more stringent enforcement of existing laws and regulations, could have a material adverse impact on Neometals’ results of operations and financial condition.

Neometals is also required to comply with applicable health and safety and other regulatory standards. Environmental legislation in particular can, in certain jurisdictions, comprise numerous regulations which might conflict with one another and which cannot be consistently interpreted.

Such regulations typically cover a wide variety of matters including, without limitation, prevention of waste, pollution and protection of the environment, labour regulations and worker safety. Neometals may also be subject under such regulations to clean-up costs and liability for toxic or hazardous substances which may exist on or under any of its properties or which may be produced as a result of its operations. Although the Directors intend that Neometals will operate in accordance with the highest standards of environmental practice and comply in all material respects with applicable environmental laws and regulations, full compliance may not always be ensured.

Any failure to comply with relevant environmental, health and safety and other regulatory standards may subject the Group to extensive liability and fines and/or penalties and have an adverse effect on the business, results of operations, or prospects of Neometals. In particular, a violation of health and safety laws relating to a mine, or other plant or a failure to comply with the instructions of the relevant health and safety authorities could lead to, among other things, a temporary shutdown of all or a portion of the mine, or other plant, a loss of the right to mine or to use other plant, or the imposition of costly compliance procedures. If health and safety authorities require Neometals to shut down all or a portion of a mine, or other plant or to implement costly compliance measures, whether pursuant to existing or new health and safety laws and regulations, such measures could have a material adverse effect on Neometals’ results of operations or financial condition. Furthermore, the future introduction or enactment of new laws, guidelines and regulations could serve to limit or curtail the growth and development of Neometals’ business or have an otherwise negative impact on its operations. Any changes to, or increases in, the current level of regulation or legal requirements may have a material adverse effect upon Neometals in terms of additional compliance costs.

Any environmental damage, loss of life, injury or damage to property caused by Neometals’ operations could damage Neometals’ reputation in the areas in which Neometals operates. Negative sentiment towards the Group could result in a lack of willingness of authorities to grant the necessary licences or permits for Neometals to operate its business and in residents in the areas where Neometals is doing business opposing further operations in the area by Neometals. If Neometals develops a reputation of having an unsafe work site it may impact the ability of Neometals to attract and retain the necessary skilled employees and consultants to operate its business. Further, Neometals’ reputation could be affected by actions and activities of other corporations operating in the mining industry, over which Neometals has no control. In addition, environmental damage, loss of life, injury or damage to property caused by Neometals’ operations could result in negative investor sentiment towards Neometals, which may result in limiting Neometals’ access to capital, increasing the cost of capital, and decreasing the price and liquidity of the shares.

Mining and chemical operations have inherent risks and liabilities associated with pollution of the environment and the disposal of waste products occurring as a result of mineral exploration and commodity production. Laws and regulations involving the protection and remediation of the environment and the governmental policies for implementation of such laws and regulations are constantly changing and are generally becoming more restrictive.

Although the Board believes that Neometals will be in compliance in all material respects with applicable environmental laws and regulations and will hold all necessary approvals and permits under those laws and regulations by the time operations commence, there are certain risks inherent in Neometals’ activities and those which it anticipates undertaking in the future, such as, but not limited to, risks of accidental spills, leakages or other unforeseen circumstances, that could subject Neometals to potential liability. Neometals therefore cannot give any assurance that, notwithstanding its precautions, breaches of environmental laws (whether inadvertent or not) or environmental pollution will not materially and adversely affect its financial condition and its results from operations.

Climate change

The physical effects of climate change, which may include extreme weather events, resource shortages, changes in rainfall and storm patterns, water shortages and changing sea levels and temperatures may have an adverse effect on Neometals’ operations. Events or conditions such as flooding or inadequate water supplies could disrupt exploration and development operations damage the Group’s property or equipment and/or could increase health and safety risks on mining sites. Such events or conditions could also have other adverse effects on Neometals’ operations, the Group’s workforce and on the local communities surrounding Neometals’ projects.

Furthermore, Neometals’ operations and future projects depend on consistent supplies of essential commodities and other essential inputs to operate efficiently. In the event that the effects of climate change, including extreme weather events, cause prolonged disruptions to the delivery of essential commodities and other essential inputs, or affect the prices or availability thereof, Neometals’ production at its operations may be reduced, delayed or halted, and as a result the profitability of Neometals’ business may be materially affected.

Currently, a number of governments or governmental bodies throughout the globe have introduced or are contemplating regulatory changes in response to the potential impacts of climate change in an effort to curb greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, ongoing international negotiations may result in the introduction of climate change regulations or frameworks on an international scale. These developments, and the costs associated with complying with such kind of measures, may have an adverse impact on Neometals’ operations and the profitability of the Neometals’ business.

Key Risks (4/6)

Maintenance of feedstock supply, off-take agreements and new customers

Neometals will be required to maintain and gain further feedstock supply commitments and additional customers, including via off-take agreements. Supply of feedstocks may be impacted for a number of reasons out of the control of the Group, such as force majeure or government regulatory factors that are unrelated to the Group. Similarly, customers may fail to perform under their contracts for reasons beyond the control of the Group and there is no track record of customers commitment to their contracts with Neometals. In order for the Group to achieve its strategic objectives it will require the development of new feedstock supply agreements and customer contracts. It is not certain that either new feedstock arrangement or customer contracts will be obtained due to competition for suppliers and customers, and the negotiating process for supplier and customer contracts, which may be affected by factors that Neometals cannot control, such as market and economic conditions, financing arrangements, commodity prices, environmental issues and government policies.

Actions of third parties, including partners and contractors

Neometals is reliant to an extent on third parties for various products and services, for example for the provision of due diligence services, technical reviews and feasibility studies for new projects, which the business requires in order to deliver its services. There can be no assurance that these business relationships will continue to be maintained or that new ones will be successfully formed. A breach or disruption in these relationships or failure to engage contractors could be detrimental to the future business, operating results and/or profitability of Neometals. In certain circumstances, Neometals may be liable for the acts or omissions of its partners. If a third party pursues claims against Neometals as a result of the acts or omissions of Neometals’ partners, Neometals ability to recover from such partners may be limited.

Political risk and government regulation

Neometals currently has projects in both Europe and Australia and may in the future expand to new geographies. Changes in the laws in any jurisdiction in which Neometals operates or expands into with the effect of favouring local enterprises, changing political views or approaches or regulatory environments, may make it more difficult for Neometals to negotiate agreements on favourable terms, obtain required licences, comply with regulations or effectively adapt to adverse economic changes, such as increased taxes, higher costs, inflationary pressure and currency fluctuations.

Any changes to political or regulatory environments in the geographies that Neometals operates are beyond its control and may significantly hamper its ability to operate its business and could have a negative impact on the financial condition of Neometals or the economic viability of a specific project.

Contractual relationships with customers

The Group recognises the need for tight contractual relationships, but there is a risk that these can break down and can lead to litigation and or contractual disputes. Both of these can be costly and time consuming and the Group recognises that such a situation is a risk. Whilst the Group will have in place procedures and controls these may not always be effective against the actions of clients and or third parties.

Reliance on key management

The Group’s business, development and prospects are dependent on a small number of key management personnel. The loss of the services of one or more of such key management personnel may have an adverse effect on the Group. The Directors believe that the experience, technical know-how and commercial relationships of the Group’s key management personnel help provide the Group with strategic focus and a competitive advantage. The Group’s ability to develop its business and achieve future growth and profitability will depend in large part on the efforts of these individuals and the Group’s ability when required to attract new key management personnel of a similar calibre. The Directors believe that the loss of the services of any key management personnel, for any reason, or failure to attract and retain necessary additional personnel, could adversely impact on the business, development, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Group. The Directors believe the Group operates a progressive and competitive remuneration policy which includes share incentives and that the future development and implementation of this policy will play an important part in retaining and attracting key management personnel.

Pandemic risk

Supply chain disruptions resulting from the transmission of pandemics such as COVID-19 in the community and measures implemented by governments around the world to limit the transmission of the virus may adversely impact Neometals’ operations, financial position, prospects and ability to raise capital. Travel bans may also lead to shortages of skilled personnel. Further outbreaks of COVID-19 or other pandemics and the implementation of travel restrictions also have the potential to restrict access to sites. Whilst the COVID-19 pandemic will have short-term and long-term consequences that Neometals, like other companies, must take into account, there have been no significant adverse impacts on Neometals to date. Neometals may also be subject to the severity of further lockdowns and relevant operators / supplier personnel not becoming infected which could result in delays.

No regular revenue

Neometals has historically been a project development group with no regular commercial revenues, and it has not generated significant accounting revenues in any of the previous five financial periods. Despite this, the Group has returned a net profit after tax in four of the past six years and has returned a total of AU$82 million in value to its shareholders since 2016 through dividends, on-market buyback programmes and an in-specie distribution associated with the demerger of Widgie Nickel Limited. The Group has been self-funded through the profits generated by its developed projects and the subsequent realisation of the values associated with these projects. Neometals expects that both its capital and operating costs will increase significant in connection with its ongoing activities. Neometals believes that it will continue to have low levels of revenues in the short term and there is no guarantee that it will achieve or sustain profitability in the future.

Key Risks (5/6)

Changing markets and requirement for the Group’s services

In a rapidly developing and changing energy marketplace there can be no assurances that the market will still require the type and scale of recycling facilities currently being developed by Neometals. Every effort has been made to make accurate forecasts of the market size going forward but these must be seen as forecasts and are subject to change that is beyond the Group’s control.

Dilution

If available, future financings to provide required capital may dilute shareholders’ proportionate ownership in Neometals. Neometals may raise capital in the future through public or private equity financings or by raising debt securities convertible into ordinary shares, or rights to acquire these securities. If Neometals raises significant amounts of capital by these or other means, it could cause dilution for Neometals’ existing shareholders. Moreover, the further issue of ordinary shares could have a negative impact on the trading price and increase the volatility of the market price of the ordinary shares. Neometals may also issue further ordinary shares, or grant performance rights which carry the right to be issued ordinary shares, as part of its employee remuneration policy, which could in aggregate create a dilution in the value of the ordinary shares and the proportion of Neometals’ share capital in which investors are interested.

Mineral and exploration risk

Neometals owns the Barrambie titanium-vanadium project. The business of exploration, project development and mining contain risks by its very nature. To prosper, it depends on the successful exploration and/or acquisition of reserves, design and construction of efficient production/processing facilities, competent operation and managerial performance and proficient marketing of the product. In particular, exploration is a speculative endeavour and certain circumstances, cost over runs and other unforeseen events can hamper exploration and mining operations.

Occupational health and safety risk

Mining and exploration activities have inherent risks and hazards. Neometals is committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace and environment for its personnel, contractors and visitors. Neometals provides appropriate instructions, equipment, preventative measures, first aid information, medical facilities and training to all stakeholders through its occupational health and safety management systems. A serious site safety incident may expose Neometals to significant penalties and Neometals may be liable for compensation to the injured personnel. These liabilities may not be covered by Neometals' insurance policies or, if they are covered, may exceed Neometals' policy limits or be subject to significant deductibles. Also, any claim under Neometals' insurance policies could increase Neometals' future costs of insurance. Accordingly, any liabilities for workplace accidents could have a material adverse impact on Neometals' liquidity and financial results. It is not possible to anticipate the effect on Neometals' business from any changes to workplace occupational health and safety legislation or directions or necessitated by concern for the health of the workforce. Such changes may have an adverse impact on the financial performance and/or financial position of Neometals.

Taxation

The acquisition and disposal of shares will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All potential investors in Neometals are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring shares from a taxation point of view and generally. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Neometals, its officers and each of their respective advisers accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of applying for shares under any offer.

Securities investments and share market conditions

There are risks associated with any securities investment. The prices at which the securities trade may fluctuate in response to a number of factors. This may result in the market price for the Shares being less or more than the Offer price. Generally applicable factors that may affect the market price of shares include: general movements in Australian and international stock markets; investor sentiment; Australian and international economic conditions and outlooks; changes in interest rates and the rate of inflation; changes in government legislation and policies, in particular taxation laws and climate-related laws and regulations; announcement of new technologies; pandemics (such as COVID-19); epidemics; geo-political instability, including international hostilities and acts of terrorism; demand for and supply of Neometals shares; announcements and results of competitors; and analyst reports. Furthermore, the stock market may experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that may be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of Neometals. These factors may materially adversely affect the market price of the securities of Neometals regardless of Neometals' operational performance. No assurance can be given that the Shares will trade at or above the Offer price or that there will be an active market in Neometals shares. Neither Neometals nor the Directors warrant the future performance of Neometals, or any return of an investment in Neometals.

Commodity prices

Neometals’ LiB recycling project operates in a market which is driven by the benchmark prices for the metals contained within the feedstock, such as lithium, nickel and cobalt. Fluctuations in the prices of these commodities will affect the Group’s revenues and declines in these prices could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and operational performance of the Group. World titanium prices are quoted in United States dollars and the price received by Australian producers is therefore affected by the Australian/United States dollar exchange rate, which will fluctuate over time. Future Australian/United States dollar exchange rates could accordingly impact the future value of Neometals’ reserves as determined by independent evaluators.

Key Risks (6/6)

Force majeure

Neometals' projects now or in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of Neometals, including fires, labour unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, floods, pandemics, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions.

Economic risk

Changes in both Australian and world economic conditions may adversely affect the financial performance of Neometals. Factors such as inflation, currency fluctuations, interest rates, industrial disruption and economic growth may impact on future operations and earnings.

Government and legal risk

Changes in government, monetary policies, taxation and other laws can have a significant impact on Neometals' assets, operations and ultimately the financial performance of Neometals and its securities. Such changes are likely to be beyond the control of Neometals and may affect industry profitability.

The energy markets in many countries rely, to a large degree, on national and international regulatory policy. While the EU, the UK and the USA have, in recent years, adopted policies and mechanisms actively supporting renewable energy and Net Zero commitments, it is possible that this approach could be modified or changed in the future, including as a result of a change in government or a change in government policy, relating to renewable energy directly or to energy policy more generally. These changes could, in some circumstances, materially affect the Group’s business and growth plans.

Although the Group is in a sector that currently enjoys strong policy and regulatory support (both nationally and globally) there is no guarantee that this will continue to be the case.

The Group has ambitions to become a global player. It will take a risk-based approach to where sales are made and where production factories could be sited. Part of the risk analysis will be the geopolitical and economic stability of the region. There is a risk that investments and sales could be jeopardised from activity in countries or areas that become unstable.

Litigation and infringement risk

The Group may be subject to litigation and other disputes and claims in the ordinary course of its business, including employment disputes, contractual disputes, indemnity claims, occupational health and safety claims, or criminal or civil proceedings in the course of its business. Such litigation, disputes and claims, including the cost of settling claims or paying any fines, operational impacts or reputation damage could materially adversely affect the Group’s reputation, business, operating or financial condition and results.

Technology risks

Sensitive data relating to Neometals, its employees, associates, customers, suppliers or the development of Neometals' innovative product range may be exposed resulting in a negative impact on Neometals' reputation or competitive advantage. Policies, procedures and practices are in place to ensure security of this data. Neometals and its subsidiaries recognise the importance of data privacy, and comply with relevant data privacy regulations, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation, to safeguard the security and privacy of data.

Placement and Entitlement Issue Completion Risk

The Placement and the Entitlement Offer are not underwritten. There is no certainty that the full amount sought will be raised. Neometals has entered into an agreement with the Lead Manager who has agreed to act on an exclusive basis as bookrunner and lead manager for, and to provide settlement support for, the Placement and the Entitlement Offer subject to certain terms and conditions. There is a risk that the agreement with the Lead Manager may terminate before the Placement or the Entitlement Offer has settled. If the agreement with the Lead Manager is terminated and the Placement and/or the Entitlement Offer does not proceed or do not raise the funds required for Neometals to meet its stated objectives, Neometals would be required to find alternative financing to meet those objectives. In those circumstances, there is no guarantee that alternative funding could be sourced in the quantum and at the price sought.

Speculative investment

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by Neometals or by investors in Neometals. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of Neometals and the value of its shares. The shares to be issued pursuant to any offer carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those shares.

Potential investors should consider that any investment in Neometals is highly speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for shares pursuant to any offer.

5 Additional information

5.1 Responsibility for this Offer Booklet

This Offer Booklet (including the enclosed ASX Announcement and Investor Presentation and attached Entitlement and Acceptance Form) has been prepared by NMT. No party other than NMT has authorised or caused the issue of this Offer Booklet, or takes any responsibility for, or makes or gives any statements, representations, or undertakings in, this Offer Booklet.

5.2 Date of this Offer Booklet

This Offer Booklet is dated Wednesday, 29 November 2023. Subject to the following paragraph, statements in this Offer Booklet are made only as of the date of this Offer Booklet unless otherwise stated and the information in this Offer Booklet remains subject to change without notice. NMT is not responsible for updating this Offer Booklet.

The ASX Announcement and Investor Presentation set out in Section 4 of this Offer Booklet are current as at the date on which they were released. There may be additional announcements that are made by NMT (including after the date of this Offer Booklet) that may be relevant to your consideration of whether to take up your Entitlement. Therefore, it is prudent that you check whether any further announcements have been made by NMT before submitting an Application.

5.3

Ranking of New Shares

The New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer will be fully paid and rank equally with Existing Shares with effect from their date of issue.

The rights attaching to the New Shares are set out in NMT’s constitution and are regulated by the Corporations Act, Listing Rules, and general law.

5.4

Allotment, quotation, and trading

NMT will apply for quotation of the New Shares on ASX in accordance with Listing Rule requirements.

Subject to ASX approval being granted, it is expected that the New Shares allotted under the Entitlement Offer will commence trading on a normal basis on Monday, 18 December 2023. Application Monies will be held by NMT on trust for Applicants until the New Shares are allotted. No interest will be paid on Application Monies, and any interest earned on Application Monies will be for the benefit of NMT and will be retained by NMT irrespective of whether New Shares are issued. If ASX does not grant quotation of the New Shares, NMT will repay all Application Monies (without interest).

It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine the number of New Shares allotted and issued to them prior to trading in such Shares.

5.5

CHESS

NMT is a participant in CHESS, for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by NMT. Because the sub-registers are electronic, ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely on upon paper documentation.

Electronic registers means that NMT will not be issue certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets

page 26

110716286

out the number of New Shares allotted to them under this Offer Booklet. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.

Further, monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in NMT during the preceding month.

5.6

Reconciliation

In any entitlement offer, investors may believe that they own more Existing Shares on the Record Date than they ultimately do. This may result in a need for reconciliation to ensure all Eligible Shareholders have the opportunity to receive their full Entitlement.

NMT may need to issue a small quantity of additional New Shares to ensure all Eligible Shareholders have the opportunity to receive their appropriate allocation of New Shares. The price at which these New Shares would be issued, if required, is the same as the Offer Price.

NMT also reserves the right to reduce the number of an Entitlement or New Shares allocated to Eligible Shareholders or persons claiming to be Eligible Shareholders, if their Entitlement claims prove to be overstated, if they or their nominees fail to provide information requested to substantiate their Entitlement claims, or if they are not Eligible Shareholders.

5.7

Lead Manager

Neither the Lead Manager nor any of their respective related bodies corporate and affiliates, nor any of its directors, officers, partners, employees, representatives, agents, consultants, partners or advisers (together, the Lead Manager Parties ) have authorised, permitted or caused the issue, despatch or provision of this Offer Booklet and they do not take responsibility for any statements made in this Offer Booklet or any action taken by you on the basis of such information. The Lead Manager has not authorised, approved, or verified any forward-looking statements included in this Offer Booklet. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Lead Manager Party excludes and disclaims all liability for any expenses, losses, damages or costs incurred by you as a result of your participation in the Entitlement Offer and this Offer Booklet being inaccurate or incomplete in any way for any reason, whether by negligence or otherwise, and make no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the currency, accuracy, reliability or completeness of this Offer Booklet.

The Lead Manager Parties take no responsibility for any part of the Offer Booklet or liability (including, without limitation, any liability arising from fault or negligence on the part of any person) for any direct, indirect, consequential or contingent loss or damage whatsoever arising from the use of any part of the Offer Booklet or otherwise arising in connection with it.

None of the Lead Manager Parties make any recommendations as to whether you or your related parties should participate in the Entitlement Offer, nor do they make any representations or warranties, express or implied, to you concerning the Entitlement Offer or any such information and you represent, warrant and agree that you have not relied on any statements made by the Lead Manager Parties in relation to the New Shares or the Entitlement Offer generally.

5.8 Continuous disclosure

NMT is a “disclosing entity” under the Corporations Act and is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, including the

page 27

110716286

preparation of annual reports and half yearly reports. Please refer to the annual report for the financial year ended 30 June 2023 as released to ASX on 29 September 2023 and the half year results for the 6 months ended 31 December 2022 as released to ASX on 13 March 2023.

NMT is required to notify ASX of information about specific events and matters as they arise for the purposes of ASX making that information available to the stock markets conducted by ASX. In particular, NMT has an obligation under the Listing Rules (subject to certain exceptions) to notify ASX immediately of any information of which it is or becomes aware which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of NMT shares. That information is available to the public from ASX.

Some documents are required to be lodged with ASIC in relation to NMT. These documents may be obtained from, or inspected at, an ASIC office, subject to any changes in access given the current circumstances.

5.9 Impact on control

The potential effect the Entitlement Offer will have on control of NMT, and the consequences of that effect, will depend on a number of factors, including the extent to which Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer and subscribe for New Shares under the Top Up Facility. In particular:

  • the Entitlement Offer is structured as a pro-rata issue. If all Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements, the ownership interest (and voting power) in NMT of each Eligible Shareholder will remain largely unchanged. To the extent that any Eligible Shareholder fails, or is unable, to take up their Entitlement in full, their percentage holding in NMT will be diluted by those other Eligible Shareholders who take up some or all of their Entitlements, or who subscribe for additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility;

  • the Entitlement Offer is not underwritten. If an Eligible Shareholder takes-up their full Entitlement under the Entitlement Offer (or subscribes for additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility), but the Entitlement Offer is not otherwise fully subscribed, the holding of that Eligible Shareholder may increase;

  • the voting power of Ineligible Shareholders will be diluted as a result of the Entitlement Offer;

  • NMT also undertook the Placement to raise gross proceeds of approximately $9 million. Should the Entitlement Offer be fully subscribed, New Shares issued under the Placement will represent approximately 7.1% of the Shares on issue following completion of both the Placement and the Entitlement Offer. Accordingly, existing Shareholders will be diluted by the Placement, even if they take up their Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer (but subject to any subscription for New Shares under the Top-Up Facility); and

  • it is not currently anticipated that any Shareholder or investor will increase their relevant interest above 20% as a result of participating in the Entitlement Offer or the Placement.

In light of these factors, and given the structure of the Entitlement Offer as a pro-rata issue and the current level of substantial holdings (based on substantial holder notices that have been lodged on or prior to the date of this notice), the Entitlement Offer is not expected to have a material consequence on the control of NMT.

5.10 No cooling off rights

Cooling off rights do not apply to an investment in New Shares. You cannot withdraw your Application once it has been made or accepted.

5.11

Rounding of Entitlements

Where fractions arise in the calculation of an Entitlement, they will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares .

5.12 Not financial product or investment advice

This Offer Booklet and the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form is for information purposes only and is not a prospectus, disclosure document or other offering document under the Corporations Act or any other law and has not been lodged with ASIC. It is also not financial product or investment advice or a recommendation to acquire New Shares and has been prepared without taking into account your objectives, financial circumstances, or particular needs. This Offer Booklet should not be considered to be comprehensive and does not purport to contain all the information that you may require to make a decision about whether to submit an Application and invest in New Shares. This Offer Booklet should be read in conjunction with NMT’s other periodic statements and continuous disclosure announcements lodged with ASX which are available at www.asx.com.au.

Before making an investment decision, you should consider the appropriateness of the information in this Offer Booklet having regard to your own objectives, financial situation and needs and seek legal and taxation advice appropriate to your jurisdiction. If you have any questions about whether you should participate in the Entitlement Offer, you should seek professional financial advice before making any investment decision. NMT is not licensed to provide financial product advice in respect of New Shares.

5.13 Taxation

There may be tax implications associated with participating in the Entitlement Offer and receiving New Shares. The potential tax effects of participating in the Entitlement Offer will vary between investors. NMT considers that it is not appropriate to give advice regarding the tax consequences of subscribing for New Shares under this Offer Booklet or the subsequent disposal of any New Shares. Consequently, NMT strongly advises that all investors should satisfy themselves of any possible tax consequences by consulting their own professional tax adviser before deciding whether or not to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

5.14 Financial data

All dollar values are in Australian dollars ($A).

All financial data is presented as at Wednesday, 29 November 2023 unless otherwise stated.

5.15

Ineligible Shareholders

All Shareholders who do not satisfy the criteria to be Eligible Shareholders are Ineligible Shareholders . Ineligible Shareholders are not entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer, unless NMT otherwise determines.

The restrictions upon eligibility to participate in the Entitlement Offer arise because NMT has determined, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.7.1(a) and section 9A(3)(a) of the Corporations Act, that it would be unreasonable to extend the Entitlement Offer to Ineligible Shareholders. This decision has been made after taking into account the relatively small number of Ineligible Shareholders, the number and value of New Shares to which those Ineligible Shareholders would otherwise be entitled and the potential costs of complying with legal and regulatory requirements in the jurisdictions in which the Ineligible Shareholders are located in relation to the Entitlement Offer.

NMT, in its absolute discretion, may extend the Entitlement Offer to any Shareholder if it is satisfied that the Entitlement Offer may be made to the Shareholder in compliance with all applicable laws. NMT, in its absolute discretion, reserves the right to determine whether a Shareholder is an Eligible Shareholder or an Ineligible Shareholder. To the maximum extent permitted by law, NMT disclaims all liability in respect of such determination.

Dear Shareholder,

Entitlement Offer

On Tuesday, 21 November 2023, Neometals Limited (ACN 099 116 631) ( Neometals ) announced on ASX that it was conducting:

  • a pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement offer for new fully paid ordinary shares in Neometals ( New Shares ) at an issue price of A$0.19 per New Share ( Offer Price ) to raise up to approximately A$13 million (the Entitlement Offer ); and

  • an institutional placement to sophisticated, professional and other institutional investors, under which Neometals has raised approximately A$9 million (before costs) ( Placement ).

(collectively, the Offer ).

Under the Entitlement Offer, Neometals will offer eligible shareholders the opportunity to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 8 existing fully paid ordinary shares held in Neometals ( Existing Shares ) as at 5.00pm (Perth time) on Friday, 24 November 2023 ( Record Date ) ( Entitlement ).

Proceeds from the Offer, together with existing cash on hand, will be primarily used to fund the following:

  • activities at the Primobius LiB recycling development;

  • lithium chemical research and development activities;

  • vanadium and titanium business units; and

  • working capital, corporate and Offer costs.

Neometals has today lodged an offer booklet on the ASX, which sets out further details in respect of the Entitlement Offer ( Offer Booklet ).

What is the Entitlement Offer?

Under the Entitlement Offer, eligible shareholders have the opportunity to invest at the same Offer Price as the Placement.

This letter is to inform you about the Entitlement Offer and to explain that, as an eligible shareholder, you are entitled to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 8 Existing Shares held on the Record Date. In the event of any fractions of New Shares occur as a result of the subscription under this Entitlement Offer, your Entitlements will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

You may subscribe for some or all of your maximum Entitlement under the Entitlement Offer.

If you take up your full Entitlement, you may also apply for additional New Shares in excess of your Entitlement (subject to compliance with application laws and to the terms set out in the Offer Booklet), at the Offer Price. Additional New Shares will only be available where there is a shortfall between applications received from eligible shareholders and the number of New Shares proposed to be issued under the Entitlement Offer. Neometals retains the flexibility to scale back applications for New Shares at its discretion.

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable which means that Entitlements are non-transferable and cannot be traded on the ASX or any other exchange, nor can they be privately transferred. If eligible shareholders take no action, they will not be allocated New Shares or receive any value in respect of the Entitlements they do not take up and their Entitlements will lapse.

Neometals does not intend to extend the Entitlement Offer to jurisdictions outside of Australia and New Zealand.

The Entitlement Offer opens on Wednesday, 29 November 2023 and is due to close at 5.00pm (Perth time) on Friday, 8 December 2023.

This letter is not an offer document but rather an advance notice of some key terms and conditions of the Entitlement Offer. Further details on the Entitlement Offer are found in the Offer Booklet that was lodged on ASX today. You should read the Offer Booklet in full before making any application for New Shares.

You can access a copy of the Offer Booklet and apply for the Entitlement Offer in the following ways:

ONLINE (BPAY) – You can apply for the offer and access your payment details (including the BPAY® payment details) via the following www.computersharecas.com.au/nmtoffer.

  • a placement, under which Neometals has raised approximately $9 million (before costs) ( Placement ); and

  • a pro rata non-renounceable entitlement offer of up to approximately 69.2 million new fully paid ordinary shares ( New Shares ) to raise up to approximately $13 million (before costs) ( Entitlement Offer ),

(collectively, the Offer ).

Why are we sending you this letter?

This letter is to inform you about the Entitlement Offer and to explain why you will not be able to subscribe for New Shares under the Entitlement Offer. This letter is not an offer to issue entitlements or New Shares to you, nor an invitation for you to apply for entitlements or New Shares. You are not required to do anything in response to this letter but there may be financial implications for you as a result of the Entitlement Offer that you should be aware of.

Details of the Entitlement Offer

The Entitlement Offer is being made by the Company in accordance with section 708AA of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (as notionally modified by ASIC Corporations (Non-Traditional Rights Issues) Instrument 2016/84 and ASIC Corporations (Disregarding Technical Relief) Instrument 2016/73 ), meaning that no prospectus or other disclosure document needs to be prepared in relation to the Entitlement Offer.

The Entitlement Offer provides eligible shareholders with the opportunity to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 8 existing fully paid ordinary shares in Neometals ( Existing Shares ) held as at Friday, 24 November 2023 ( Record Date ) at an issue price of $0.19 per New Share.

  • (c) are not in the United States and are not a person (including nominees or custodians) acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States in respect of the relevant underlying holders of Existing Shares; and

  • (d) are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Entitlement Offer without any requirement for a prospectus or other formal offer document to be lodged or registered.

Why am I not eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer?

According to our records you do not satisfy the criteria for an Eligible Shareholder. Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1(b) and section 9A(3) of the Act, this notice is to inform you that under the terms of the Entitlement Offer, you are not entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer and, as such, you will not be offered any New Shares or entitlements under the Entitlement Offer. You will not be sent the documents relating to the Entitlement Offer (including the Offer Booklet) or be able to subscribe for New Shares under the Entitlement Offer.

The Company has determined that, pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1(a) and section 9A(3)(a) of the Act, it would be unreasonable to extend the Entitlement Offer to shareholders who are not Eligible Shareholders. Determination of eligibility of investors for the purposes of the Entitlement Offer is determined by reference to a number of matters, including:

  • legal limitations in some countries;

  • relatively small number of shareholders in those other jurisdictions;

  • small number and value of New Shares for which those shareholders would otherwise have been entitled to subscribe for; and

  • potential cost of complying with regulatory requirements in those countries.

Neometals and each of its affiliates and related bodies corporate and each of its respective directors, officers, partners, employees, advisers and agents disclaim any liability (including for fault or negligence) in respect of any determination as to eligibility and the exercise or otherwise of that discretion, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Non-renounceable

As the Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable, entitlements in respect of the New Shares you would have been offered if you were an Eligible Shareholder will lapse and you will not receive any payment or value for those entitlements. Further details in respect of the Entitlement Offer (including details of eligibility) can be found on the announcements platform of the ASX (www.asx.com.au).

New Shares equivalent to the number of New Shares you would have been entitled to if you were an Eligible Shareholder will be allocated to those Eligible Shareholders who make a valid application for additional New Shares, or in turn to persons from whom the lead manager has procured subscriptions for New Shares, pursuant to the lead manager arrangements between NMT and the lead manager.

Further information

If you have any queries regarding the Entitlement Offer, please contact your professional adviser or the Neometals Offer Information Line on 1300 850 505 (for callers within Australia) or +61 3 9415 4000 (for callers outside Australia) between 8.30am and 5.00pm (AEDT time) on Monday to Friday.

On behalf of Neometals, we thank you for your continued support.
