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 12 pro rata non-renounceable entitlement offer of new, fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of NMT ( New Shares ) at an offer price of $0.09 per New Share ( Offer Price ) ( Entitlement Offer ).

The Entitlement Offer is not underwritten.

Rationale for the Offer and use of funds

On Friday, 11 October 2024, NMT announced its intention to raise approximately $9 million (before costs) by way of an equity raising, comprising:

  • a placement, under which NMT has raised approximately $4 million (before costs) ( Placement ); and

  • the Entitlement Offer to raise up to a maximum of approximately $5 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:

  • LiB recycling development

  • lithium and vanadium technology research and development

  • Barrambie Gold and Titanium

  • staff, general and administrative costs

Placement

The Placement was successfully completed on Friday, 18 October 2024, with NMT placing approximately 44,444,445 New Shares to various institutional and sophisticated investors at the Offer Price and raising approximately $4 million (before costs).

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 12 fully paid ordinary share in NMT ( Share ) held as at 5pm (Perth time) on Wednesday, 16 October 2024 ( Entitlement ). Your Entitlement is set out in your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form that accompanies this Offer Booklet.

The Offer Price of $0.09 per New Share represents:

  • a discount of 25% to the closing price of $0.12 per Share on Tuesday, 8 October 2024; and

  • a discount of 18.5% to the 5 day VWAP on the ASX up to and including Tuesday, 8 October 2024.

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 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).

page 7

2060768718.3

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 Wednesday, 30 October 2024 (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 Friday, 11 October before making any investment decision.

Yours sincerely

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 12 Existing Shares held on the Record Date at the Offer Price.

The Entitlement Offer is intended to raise a maximum of approximately $5 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.

4 All Shareholders, including those Eligible Shareholders who participate in the Entitlement Offer, will have their percentage holding in NMT reduced by the Placement.

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:

  • LiB recycling development

  • lithium and vanadium technology research and development

  • Barrambie Gold and Titanium

  • staff, general and administrative costs

2.3

Placement

NMT has already raised approximately $4 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 Friday, 18 October 2024.

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 12 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 12 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.

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 Wednesday, 30 October 2024 (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 13

2060768718

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;

  • 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 $5 million (before costs) sought under the Entitlement Offer.

3 How to apply

3.1 Your Entitlement

An Entitlement and Acceptance Form setting out your Entitlement (calculated as 1 New Share for every 12 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 Wednesday, 30 October 2024 (unless extended).

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.

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.

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 that

page 16

has not been accepted) may be acquired by Eligible Shareholders under the Top Up Facility.

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 and you will not receive any value for your Entitlement. Eligible Shareholders who do not participate fully in the Entitlement Offer will have their percentage holding in NMT reduced.

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

2060768718

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

If you have not received or you have lost your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, or have any questions regarding the Entitlement Offer, please contact NMT directly on +61 8 9322 1182 between 8.30am and 5.00pm (Perth time) on Monday to Friday, before the Entitlement Offer closes at 5pm (Perth time) on Wednesday, 30 October 2024 (unless extended).

Neometals Successfully Closes A$4 Million Placement and Announces Entitlement Offer

NOT FOR RELEASE TO US WIRE SERVICES OR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES

Sustainable process technology developer, Neometals Ltd (ASX: NMT & AIM: NMT) (“ Neometals ” or “ the Company ”), is pleased to announce that it has received firm commitments from sophisticated, professional and institutional investors for its placement of 44,444,445 new fully paid ordinary shares ( New Shares ) at A$0.09 per New Share to raise approximately A$4 million (before costs) ( Placement ).

Neometals Managing Director Chris Reed commented:

“We are pleased to announce the Entitlement Offer and conclusion of the Placement which was supported by new and existing sophisticated investors and institutions. The capital raising will reinforce commercialisation activities by Neometals’ battery recycling plant building joint venture, Primobius, as it delivers its maiden plant for Mercedes-Benz. The successful validation of our process and plant supply business model at scale is the precursor to offering commercial plants to our growing pipeline of current and prospective customers and technology licence holders. Neometals management appreciates the long-term support and efforts of lead manager Euroz Hartleys as well as further investment from existing shareholders".

Placement

A total of 44,444,445 New Shares will be issued under the Placement at a price of A$0.09 per New Share ( Offer Price ) under NMT’s ASX Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity.

About Neometals Ltd

Neometals facilitates sustainable critical material supply chains and reduces the environmental burden of traditional mining in the global transition to a circular economy.

The Company is commercialising a portfolio of sustainable processing solutions that recycle and recover critical materials from high-value waste streams.

  • Neometals’ core focus is its patented, Lithium-ion Battery (“LiB”) Recycling technology (50% NMT) , being commercialised in a 50:50 incorporated JV (Primobius GmbH) with 150-year-old German plant builder, SMS group GmbH. Primobius is supplying Mercedes-Benz a 2,500tpa recycling plant and operates its own LiB Disposal Service in Germany. Primobius’ first 21,000tpa commercial plant will be offered to Stelco under an existing technology licence for North America.

Neometals is developing two advanced battery materials technologies for commercialisation under low-risk, low-capex technology licensing business models:

  • Lithium Chemicals (70% NMT) – Patented ELi™ electrolysis process, co-owned 30% by Mineral Resources Ltd, to produce battery quality lithium hydroxide from brine and/or hard-rock feedstocks at lowest quartile operating costs. Pilot scale test work planned for completion in DecQ 2024; and

  • Vanadium Recovery (100% NMT) – Patent pending hydrometallurgical process to produce high-purity vanadium pentoxide from steelmaking by-product (“Slag”) at lowest-quartile operating cost and carbon footprint.

Financial Information

All financial information in this Presentation is in Australian dollars (A$ or AUD) unless otherwise stated.

A number of figures, amounts, percentages, estimates, calculations of value and fractions in this Presentation may be subject to the effect of rounding. Accordingly, the actual calculation of these figures may differ from the figures set out in this Presentation.

Ore Reserves Reporting

It is a requirement of the ASX Listing Rules that the reporting of mineral resources and ore reserves in Australia comply with the Australasian Joint Ore Reserves Committee Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code), whereas mining companies in other countries may be required to report their ore reserves and/or mineral resources in accordance with other guidelines. Investors should note that while Neometals mineral resources and ore reserves estimates comply with the JORC Code (such JORC Code-compliant mineral resources and ore reserves being "Mineral Resources" and "Ore Reserves"), they may not comply with the relevant guidelines in other countries, and in particular, do not comply with (i) National Instrument 43-101 (Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects) of the Canadian Securities Administrators (the "Canadian NI 43-101 Standards"); or (ii) Item 1300 of Regulation S-K, which governs disclosures of mineral reserves in registration statements filed with the SEC. Information contained in this document describing mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of Canadian or United States securities laws.

This Presentation contains estimates of Ore Reserves and Exploration Targets at Neometals’ Barrambie Project.

Neometals Ore Reserves – Competency Statement

The information in this Presentation that relates to:

  • ore reserve estimates for the Barrambie Project has been extracted from the ASX Announcement titled "Robust Outcomes From Barrambie Titanium Project PFS" dated 17 November 2022; and

A copy of the announcements referred to above are available on the Company's website at www.neometals.com.au/en/investors or ASX's website at www.asx.com.au.

Neometals confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information in the announcements referred to above, and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevant announcements continue to apply and have not materially changed. Neometals confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Persons' findings are presented in this Presentation have not been materially modified from the original market announcement.

The exploration data relied on for the exploration target are historic and have not or may not have been previously reported under the JORC Code or any of its precedents. These are indicative and not absolute measures of the presence of gold mineralisation. In relation to the exploration target, the potential quantity and grade reported are conceptual only in nature. Insufficient exploration has been conducted to estimate a mineral resource and it is uncertain whether future exploration will lead to the estimation of a mineral resource.

Competent Persons Statement Exploration Target

The information in this Presentation that relates to Exploration Targets is based on information compiled by Mr Jeremy Peters. Mr Peters is a Director of Burnt Shirt Pty Ltd, a geological and mining engineering consultancy, and has sufficient experience relevant to the styles of mineralisation, and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the December 2012 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Data compiled from historic WAMEX reports by the Neometals Exploration Team has been reviewed by Mr Peters, who has consented to the inclusion of the matters in this Presentation based on this information in the form and context in which it appears.

  • exploration targets for the Barrambie Project has been extracted from the ASX Announcement titled “Barrambie Gold Exploration Target” dated 23 September 2024.

Barrambie Titanium Deposit

Tenement maintenance and seeking to divest VTM resources

  • Ministerial approval to construct up to 3.2Mtpa processing plant - timeframe extension application in progress

  • Successful pilot plant production of gravity concentrates, and commercial scale smelting proved value-in-use

  • Significant gold exploration potential highlighted in Gold Exploration Target

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

The exploration data relied on for this Exploration Target are historic and have not or may not have been previously reported under the JORC Code or any of its precedents. These are indicative and not absolute measures of the presence of gold mineralisation. The potential quantity and grade reported are conceptual only in nature. Insufficient exploration has been conducted to estimate a mineral resource and it is uncertain whether future exploration will lead to the estimation of a mineral resource.

“The decline in battery materials prices over the last 2 years has been challenging, particularly with our strong lithium price correlation. However, the main demand drivers for our Primobius LIB recycling plants are the increasing volumes of production scrap as LIB production ramps up in the West and mandatory recycling of LIB’s in Europe. Our plants can provide their owners with sustainable competitive advantages and lower emissions than traditional mined supply chains. We welcome the new tailwinds from unified policy by Western economies to counter the dominance of China in EV supply chain.”

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$4m raise for the Placement assumes that no over-subscriptions are received for the Placement and a A$5m raise for the Entitlement Offer is on a maximum subscription basis. 3.

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 Limited, including the Neometals group of companies (together, Neometals or Company ) (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 commercialise the technologies it is developing and the projects in which it is involved. This, in turn, is dependent on a number of factors including proving the technical and operational feasibility of its assets and demonstrating their commercial viability. Among other things, this requires the development of a robust, secure and cost-effective supply chain, effective collaboration with delivery partners and the sustained achievement of capital and operational expenditure thresholds. These expenditure thresholds operate to enable competitive pricing and customer adoption of the Company’s target products and services, while providing economic returns to Neometals and its partners. Neometals’ ability to establish and scale up the requisite compliant operations also depends on various ancillary activities including the effective co-ordination of the hiring, training and retention of additional skilled personnel, the enhancement of Neometals’ operational, financial, commercial, compliance and risk management systems, and securing adequate financing and working capital when required on commercial terms. In addition, Neometals must, on a continuous basis, assess and address competitive factors and evolving market, economic and business conditions, as well as effectively implement methods and systems for sustainable revenue generation.

There is no assurance Neometals can successfully achieve any or all of its business objectives in the manner or time period it expects. To achieve its objectives, Neometals will likely be required to invest in projects that involve incurring 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, either in full or in part, the anticipated benefits it expects from Neometals’ growth strategy. Failure to achieve its business objectives could have a material adverse effect on Neometals’ business, results of operations and/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. Whilst Neometals has experience as a joint venture participant (e.g. the Mt Marion project, which was the subject of a three-party joint venture prior to Neometals’ exit), joint venture arrangements are subject to a variety of risks including disagreement on operational or strategic decision making, unexpected cost overruns due to unscheduled events or setbacks in technology or operational delivery, the inability of counterparties to meet their financial or other joint venture commitments and/or breach or failure to comply with the terms of the joint venture agreement. The occurrence of any one or more of these events may trigger a right of a joint venture participant to terminate the joint venture arrangement or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the development of the relevant project(s).

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 larger-scale Projects will not match the extrapolated performance data from earlier results and upgrades and further investment will be required to meet the performance criteria. Neometals’ directors acknowledge that scaling up to achieve full commercial services is not guaranteed, but believe 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 new alternative technologies will become available. Neometals can give no assurances such advances will not put the Company in an uncompetitive position or otherwise have an adverse impact upon Neometals’ business.

Intellectual Property

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

  • Neometals currently has a number of pending patent applications. Whilst the directors are confident these applications will lead to granted patents, there is no guarantee that any, or all, of these applications will be granted. Only a granted patent right can be enforced and it not 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 granted, a patent can still be challenged by third parties.

There may not be adequate protection for Neometals’ intellectual property in each country in which the Company, currently or in the future, sells its services and technology and policing unauthorised use of proprietary information is difficult and expensive. This means it may not be possible for Neometals to identify each instance of infringement and take required action in each instance, due to the global scale of the marketplace. Should a third party successfully demonstrate priority over any of these rights, it could inhibit the Company from using its technology in certain territories.

Key Risks (2/6)

The steps that Neometals has taken, and will continue to take, to protect its intellectual property may be inadequate to prevent the misappropriation of its proprietary technology. Any misappropriation of the Company’s intellectual property could have a negative impact on Neometals’ operations and its operating results. Furthermore, Neometals 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 Company’s intellectual property, whether instigated by Neometals 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. Significantly, there can be no guarantees as to the outcome of any such litigation or dispute or that it can successfully enforce the Neometals’ rights.

Project Development

Neometals has an interest in a number of pre-commercial projects, including the LiB recycling, lithium chemicals joint venture, vanadium recovery and Barrambie projects (each a Project and together, the Projects). Whilst there has been continued progress made towards final investment decisions and other key milestones for each Project, 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 each of these joint ventures, however Neometals cannot guarantee either the continued technical, operational and financial support of its joint venture partners or the successful completion of an individual Project. Each Project will be subject to necessary technical assessments and feasibility studies which differ for each Project. As with the development of all new technologies, each Project may encounter technical and performance challenges, schedule and completion delays and incur additional development and production costs and expenses. These costs and expenses may exceed those expected by the Company’s directors but will be required to develop the technology to the sufficient standard, quality, volume and cost to render each Project economically viable. For example, there can be no guarantee the commercial scale plant for the LiB recycling project will operate at the expected outputs based on the successful pilot plant and demonstration plant. Further, performance could be impacted by a number of factors, including damage, environmental factors, maintenance, availability of feedstock supplies, availability of experienced operational personnel, plant design failings and quality control.

Furthermore, there can be no guarantee that the proposed operations of a Project will meet regulatory certification or process testing requirements or satisfy regulatory and/or production requirements necessary for commercial distribution. If Neometals’ development programme is curtailed due to any of the above issues or similar ones, this may have a material adverse effect on Neometals’ business model and financial performance. In such circumstances, Neometals will assess the ongoing viability of each Project at the relevant time and make any necessary decisions regarding continued allocation of capital as it may consider appropriate.

Maintenance of Feedstock Supply, Offtake Agreements and New Customers

For certain Projects, Neometals will be required to maintain and gain further feedstock supply commitments and additional customers, including via offtake agreements. Supply of feedstocks may be impacted for a number of reasons outside of the Company’s control, such as force majeure or government regulatory factors unrelated to Neometals. Similarly, customers may fail to perform under their contracts for reasons beyond the control of the Company and there is no guarantee customers will meet their contractual commitments to Neometals. It is not certain that either the new feedstock arrangements or the customer contracts required will be obtained in commercially viable terms, due to competition for suppliers and customers and/or the negotiating process for supplier and customer contracts. Each of these may be affected by factors that Neometals cannot control, including market and economic conditions, financing arrangements, commodity prices, environmental issues and government policies.

Commodity Prices

Neometals’ LiB recycling project, if and when commercialised, will operate in a market which is driven by, among other things, the benchmark prices for the metals contained within the feedstock, such as lithium, nickel and cobalt. Project plants constructed by Neometals, if and when commercialised, will operate in markets which are, in part, driven respectively by the vanadium and lithium market prices and other factors. Fluctuations in the prices of these and other commodities may affect the Company’s revenues and impact its ability to generate new business. World commodity prices are typically quoted in United States dollars and the price received by the Company is therefore likely to be 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 financial results of operations and the value of Neometals’ reserves as determined by independent evaluators.

Mineral and Exploration Risk

Neometals owns the Barrambie titanium-vanadium project and may undertake other mineral exploration activities from time to time. 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 adversely impact exploration and mining operations.

Occupational Health and Safety Risk

Activities associated with technology development minerals processing and recycling activities all have inherent risks and hazards. Neometals is committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace and environment for its personnel, contractors, joint venture partners and visitors. Neometals ensures appropriate instructions, equipment, preventative measures, first aid information, medical facilities and training are provided to employees, contractors and stakeholders at its operations and joint venture facilities so far as is reasonable, having regard to our operations. A serious safety incident at any Project site may expose Neometals, or one of its joint venture parties, to significant penalties and Neometals may be liable for compensation to the injured personnel. These liabilities may not be covered by insurance policies held by Neometals or its joint venture parties and, in any event, if they are covered, may exceed relevant policy limits or be subject to significant deductibles. Any claim under Neometals' insurance policies could also increase its 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 of any changes to workplace occupational health and safety legislation or any ancillary regulatory actions associated with the health of the workforce upon the Company or any Project. Such changes may have an adverse impact on the financial performance and/or financial position of Neometals.

Key Risks (3/6)

Additional Requirements for Capital and Financing Risk

Neometals is a technology and Project development group with no regular material commercial revenues that generate free cash flow. Neometals expects both its capital and operating costs will increase significantly in connection with the planned scale-up of its operations to support ongoing commercialisation activities. There is a risk Neometals may continue to generate no, or low, revenue in the short to medium term and there is no guarantee it will achieve sustained profitability in the future. Accordingly, Neometals may require additional funds to respond to business challenges, enhance existing technologies, know-how, products and services and further develop its sales and marketing channels and capabilities. If this occurs, Neometals may need to engage in equity or debt financing transactions to secure additional funds.

If available, future financings to provide required capital, via debt and/or equity channels, may dilute shareholders’ proportionate ownership in Neometals. This could cause material dilution for Neometals’ existing shareholders, as well has 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.

If Neometals raises additional funds through issues of equity or convertible debt securities, any new equity securities could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of current shareholders. Any debt financing secured by Neometals in the future could involve restrictive covenants, encumbrances and/or other priority securities placed over its assets. These may inhibit Neometals’ capital raising activities as well as other financial and operational matters which may, in turn, make it more difficult for Neometals to raise additional capital and/or pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. In addition, Neometals may not be able to source any required financing on terms favourable or otherwise. If Neometals is unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to it, when required, its ability to continue to support its technology development and business growth, and to respond to business challenges, could be significantly limited or could affect Project financial viability. If the required financing is unavailable in respect of any Project, for any reason, Neometals will assess Project viability at the relevant time and make any necessary decisions regarding continued allocation of capital or any potential divestment of part or all of its Project interest as it may consider appropriate in the circumstances.

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 associated with each Project. 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 any cost estimates and/or the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice. These factors may operate to have a material adverse impact upon Neometals’ viability.

The proposed Project activities of Neometals, including economic studies, are dependent on economic inputs from commodity prices, metallurgical tests, chemical testing, engineering cost studies and pilot and market tests for which there is no guarantee of positive economics. It is a material risk that studies may not be completed or may be delayed indefinitely where key inputs show negative economic, operational or technical outcomes. Neometals can provide no assurances any Project will achieve commercial viability. Until Neometals is able to realise value from its Projects, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses.

Neometals continues to develop, test and optimise its LiB recycling flow sheet and is conducting value improvement refinements of its flow sheet at laboratory and pilot plant level, working in conjunction with its partner(s), key (or preferred) equipment suppliers, service and technology providers. Any investment in Neometals should be considered in light of the substantial risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of technology development, including factors such as design and construction of operationally efficient and safe processing facilities within capital expenditure budgets. Separately, activities associated with ‘scaling-up’ of processing technology tested in pilot conditions often include an additional level of uncertainty and, therefore, further risk associated with the achievement of operating parameters and costs. The nature of such technology risk includes the cost of developing and commissioning an economically viable, safe and compliant commercial operation and production facility for each Project.

Reliance on the Current Lithium-ion Batteries Composition

Neometals’ proprietary technology is focused on the recycling capability for the current and future feedstock of lithium-ion batteries. If the chemical composition of lithium-ion batteries is materially altered or alternative battery technologies are widely adopted, this could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, operational performance and business of the Company.

Relationships with Key Suppliers

Neometals’ success depends on its current and future ability to secure raw materials. The Company’s performance may be negatively impacted by numerous factors, including global demand or other factors which operate to limit the availability, cost or quality of supply of these materials.

Key Risks (4/6)

Environmental Approvals and Health & Safety Compliance

Neometals’ Projects, particularly those relating to vanadium recovery and the Barrambie project, are and will be subject to various laws and regulations relating the protection of the environment. This includes regular environmental impact assessments and the procurement of appropriate permits or approvals from relevant environmental authorities on an ongoing basis. Whilst Neometals believes that it, or where applicable its joint venture entities, will obtain the necessary approvals and permits, there can be no guarantee that these applications will be successful. Separately, if they are obtained, they will not be withdrawn or made subject to limitations that may otherwise affect Neometals’ operations.

Governmental approvals, licences and permits are, as a practical matter, often subject to the discretion of the applicable governments, governmental offices, or international agencies. Neometals must continue to 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 also operate to have a material adverse impact on Neometals’ operations and financial condition.

Environmental legislation, in particular, can comprise numerous local regulations which might conflict with other applicable laws and/or regulations and so cannot be consistently interpreted. Such regulations typically cover a wide variety of matters including prevention of waste, pollution and protection of the environment, labour regulations and worker safety. Under such regulations, Neometals may also be subject to clean-up costs and/or liability for toxic or hazardous substances that may exist on or under any of its properties or that may be produced as a result of its operations. Although the Company’s directors intend Neometals will always 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 occur.

Neometals must comply with applicable health and safety and other regulatory standards in all jurisdictions in which it operates. Any failure to comply with relevant environmental, health and safety and other regulatory standards may subject Neometals to extensive liability and fines and/or penalties and have an adverse effect on the Company business, results of operations, or prospects. For example, a violation of health and safety laws relating to a mine or other processing plant, or a failure to comply with the instructions of the relevant health and safety authorities, could, amongst other things, cause a temporary shutdown to all or any part of a site or plant, which may lead to costly remedial and/or compliance procedures. If health and safety authorities require Neometals to shut down all or a portion of a site or plant to implement remedial or compliance measures pursuant to existing or new health and safety laws and regulations, such measures could have a material adverse effect on Neometals’ results, operations or financial condition. Furthermore, the future introduction or enactment of new laws, guidelines and regulations could serve to limit, curtail or otherwise have an adverse impact upon the growth and development of Company 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 Company operations could damage Neometals’ reputation in any jurisdiction in which the Company operates. Negative sentiment towards Neometals could result in a lack of willingness of authorities to grant the necessary licences or permits for the Company (or its joint venture partners) to operate, or such authorities opposing further operations or required approvals. If Neometals develops a reputation for having unsafe work practices, this may impact its ability to attract and retain the necessary skilled employees and consultants to operate its Projects. Further, Neometals’ reputation could be affected by the actions and activities of third parties over which Neometals has no control. In addition, environmental damage, loss of life, injury or damage to property caused by Company operations could result in negative investor sentiment towards the Company. This could limit Neometals’ access to capital, increase its cost of capital and decrease the price and liquidity of its securities.

Chemical operations have inherent risks and liabilities associated with pollution of the environment and the disposal of waste products occurring as a result of commodity production and other Project activities. 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 Company’s directors believe Neometals is, and will remain, 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, reputation, its ability to access further finance on commercial terms and/or 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 Company’s property or equipment and/or could increase health and safety risks on recycling or processing sites. Such events or conditions could also have other adverse effects on Neometals’ operations, the Company’s workforce and on the local communities surrounding Neometals’ Projects.

Furthermore, Neometals’ existing and future operations are likely to depend on consistent supplies of essential commodities and other essential inputs to operate efficiently. The effects of climate change, including extreme weather events, may cause prolonged disruptions to the delivery of essential commodities and other essential inputs, or affect the prices or availability thereof. If this occurs, Neometals’ Project production may be reduced, delayed or halted, which may materially impact upon the Company’s profitability.

Currently, a number of governments or governmental bodies throughout the world 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 the Company’s operations and the profitability of the Neometals’ business.

Actions of Third Parties, Including Partners and Contractors

Neometals is reliant to a significant extent on third parties for various products and services. Examples include for the provision of due diligence activities, technical reviews, engineering and feasibility studies, and Project operations, which the Company requires to commercialise its technology and deliver services. There can be no assurance these business relationships will continue to be maintained in the required manner, or that new ones will be successfully formed. A breach, or disruption, of these relationships or a failure to engage contractors or partners could be detrimental to the future business of the Company, including its profitability. In certain circumstances, Neometals may be held liable for the acts and/or omissions of its partners, suppliers or contractors. If a third party pursues claims against Neometals as a result of the acts or omissions of its partners, suppliers or contractors, the ability of the Company to recover from such parties may be limited.

Key Risks (5/6)

Political Risk and Government Regulation

Neometals currently has projects in both Europe and Australia, with operational and technical testing being conducted in other jurisdictions. These operations are likely to expand to new geographical areas pending Project success and other strategic steps. 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. For example, to negotiate agreements on favourable terms, obtain required licences, comply with regulations or effectively adapt to, and manage, adverse economic changes, such as increased taxes, higher costs, inflationary pressure and currency fluctuations.

Any changes to political or regulatory environments in the geographies in which Neometals operates is beyond its control and may significantly hinder its ability to operate its business. If such events occur, they could have a negative impact on the financial condition of Neometals or the economic viability of one or more Projects.

Contractual Relationships with Customers

The Company recognises the need for robust and rigorously documented contractual relationships. However, there is a risk these relationships can break down and can lead to litigation and/or contractual disputes, both of which can be costly and time consuming. Whilst the Company has procedures and controls in place to mitigate these risks, they may not always be effective against the actions of clients and/or third parties.

Reliance on Key Management

Neometals’ business, technology 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 Company and its operations, including Project development, financial condition, operational results and business prospects. The Company’s directors believe the experience, technical know-how and commercial relationships of the Neometals’ key management personnel help provide the Company with strategic focus and a competitive advantage. Neometals’ ability to commercialise its technologies, develop its businesses and achieve future growth and profitability will depend in large part on the efforts of these individuals and the ability of the Company, when required, to attract new key management personnel of a similar calibre. The directors believe the Company operates a 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.

Changing Markets and Requirement for Company Services

In a rapidly developing and changing energy marketplace there can be no assurances key markets will still require the type and scale of recycling facilities and the minerals processing technologies currently being developed by Neometals. While the Company seeks to estimate, with the support of external service providers, the market size going forward, these must be seen as forecasts only and subject to changes beyond the Neometals’ control.

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 Company securities trade may fluctuate in response to a number of factors. This may result in the offer price being less or more than the market price at any point in time. 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 outlook; 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; epidemics; geo-political instability, including international hostilities and acts of terrorism; demand for, and supply of, Neometals shares; announcements and results of competitors or new entrants to the markets in which Neometals is seeking to commercialise its technologies; 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 Company shares regardless of Neometals' operational performance. No assurance can be given that Company shares will trade at or above the Offer price or that there will be an active market for trading. Neither Neometals nor the Directors warrant the future performance of Neometals, or any return of an investment in Neometals.

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, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics, pandemics or quarantine restrictions as well, as other unforeseen and unforeseeable events.

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.

Key Risks (6/6)

Government and Legal Risk

Changes in government (Australian and foreign), monetary policies, taxation and other laws can have a significant impact on Company assets, operations and ultimately the financial performance of Neometals and its securities. Such changes are generally beyond the control of Neometals and may affect industry profitability.

International energy markets rely, to a large degree, on national and international regulatory policy. The EU, the UK and the USA have, in recent years, adopted policies and mechanisms which actively support renewable energy and Net Zero commitments. However, these strategies may, from time to time and at any time, be modified or changed, 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 Neometals’ business and growth plans.

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

Neometals is seeking to become a global leader in the technologies it is developing. 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 Company is 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 and is currently involved in certain ongoing proceedings, including the previously disclosed legal proceeding with Roseland Capital Pty Ltd and Mr Murray Ward and proceedings commenced in the Federal Court of Australia by a former executive of the Company in connection with the former executive’s alleged treatment by the Company and the circumstances of the former executive’s redundancy. 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 Neometals’ reputation, business, operating or financial condition and results.

Data Protection Risks

Sensitive data relating to Neometals, its employees, associates, customers, suppliers or the development of Neometals' innovative product range may be exposed, compromised, deleted, damaged or obtained by third parties, resulting in a negative impact on Neometals' reputation or competitive advantage. Policies, procedures and practices are in place to ensure security, protection and back up of this data. Neometals and its subsidiaries recognise the importance of data privacy, and, at all times, strive to 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 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 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 does 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 and or operational 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 Monday, 21 October 2024. 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 Thursday, 7 November 2024. 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 issue certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets

page 24

2060768718

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 makes 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 25

2060768718

preparation of annual reports and half yearly reports. Please refer to the annual report for the financial year ended 30 June 2024 as released to ASX on 26 September 2024 and the half year results for the 6 months ended 31 December 2023 as released to ASX on 14 March 2024.

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 $4 million. Should the Entitlement Offer be fully subscribed, New Shares issued under the Placement will represent approximately 5.6% 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.

page 26

2060768718

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 Friday, 11 October 2024 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

page 27

2060768718

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.

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 12 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 Monday, 21 October 2024 and is due to close at 5.00pm (Perth time) on Wednesday, 30 October 2024.

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. You will need to provide your Securityholder Reference Number (SRN), Holder Identification Number (HIN), surname and postcode and follow the instructions to apply for New Shares.

ONLINE (EFT) – EFT payment can only be used by entitled New Zealand holders; details can be accessed via the following www.computersharecas.com.au/nmtoffer. You will need to provide your Securityholder Reference Number (SRN) or Holder Identification Number (HIN) and postcode and follow the instructions to apply for New Shares. When submitting an application via EFT, your Securityholder Reference Number (SRN) or Holder Identification Number (HIN) must be used as reference for the payment. Your monies must be received by no later than 5.00pm (Perth time) on Wednesday, 30 October 2024, unless this date is otherwise extended by the Board at its sole discretion.

(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.

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

Who is eligible?

Eligible Shareholders ” are those persons on the Record Date who:

  • are registered as a holder of Existing Shares;

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

  • 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.

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 Neometals and the lead manager.

Further information

If you have any queries regarding the Entitlement Offer, please contact your professional adviser or Neometals directly on +61 8 9322 1182 between 8.30am and 5.00pm (Perth time) on Monday to Friday.

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