Notes
Required voting majorities
Resolution 1 is a special resolution and therefore requires at least 75% of the eligible votes cast by Shareholders present and voting at the meeting, whether in person, by proxy or attorney, or in the case of corporate Shareholders or proxies, by a natural person representative, to be cast in favour of Resolution 1.
Directors' recommendations and voting
Resolution 1 – Change of Company Name
The Board unanimously recommends that all Shareholders entitled to vote, vote in favour of Resolution 1.
Voting exclusion statements
No voting exclusions apply to the Resolution.
Appointing the Chair as your proxy
If you appoint the Chair of the meeting as your proxy and you do not specify how the Chair is to vote on the Resolution, the proxy appointment expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy.
The Chair intends to vote all available and undirected proxies in favour of the Resolution, subject to any voting exclusions. In exceptional circumstances the Chair's intentions may change subsequently. If there is a change to how the Chair intends to vote undirected proxies, the Company will make an immediate announcement to ASX stating that fact and explaining the reasons for the change.
Attendance
The meeting will be held via an online platform provided by Opthea's share registrar, Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited (Computershare) at https://meetnow.global/MSTYFWX, which will provide a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to participate. Shareholders attending the meeting via the online platform will be able to hear any discussion, submit written questions and vote. We will endeavour to address appropriate questions at the meeting.
We strongly recommend that Shareholders who wish to participate log in to the online portal at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start time.
More information regarding virtual attendance at the meeting (including how to vote and ask questions) is available at www.computershare.com.au/virtualmeetingguide.
Technical issues
Technical difficulties may arise during the course of the virtual meeting. The Chair has discretion as to whether and how the meeting should proceed in the event that a technical difficulty arises. In exercising this discretion, the Chair will have regard to the number of Shareholders impacted and the extent to which participation in the business of the meeting is affected. Where the Chair considers it appropriate, the Chair may continue to hold the meeting and transact business, including conducting a poll and voting in accordance with valid proxy instructions.
For this reason, Shareholders are encouraged to appoint a proxy and submit a directed proxy vote, even if they plan to attend the meeting online. Similarly, if a Shareholder is unable to participate in the virtual meeting, or will not have access to a device or the internet, they are encouraged to appoint a proxy and submit a directed proxy vote. See page 6 for further details.
OPTHEA
How to vote
Shareholders can vote at the meeting:
(a) through the online platform; or
(b) by appointing a proxy (see below).
Voting entitlements
Opthea has determined that for the purposes of voting at the meeting or at any adjourned meeting, Shares will be taken to be held by those persons recorded on the register of members at the Voting Entitlement Time (as specified below).
Voting Entitlement Time
In accordance with Regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth), all securities of the Company that are quoted on ASX at 7.00pm (Melbourne time) on Wednesday, 1 July 2026 (the Voting Entitlement Time), are taken, for the purposes of the above meeting, to be held by the persons who held them at that time. Only those persons will be entitled to vote at the meeting on Friday, 3 July 2026.
Resolution will be by poll
The Resolution considered at the meeting will be conducted by a poll, rather than on a show of hands.
Joint holders
When joint holders are named in the register of members only one joint holder may vote. If more than one of the joint holders is present at the meeting, only the person whose name appears first in the register of members will be entitled to vote. If more than one holder votes at the meeting, only the vote of the first named of the joint holders in the register of members will be counted.
Voting in person or by attorney
Shareholders or their attorneys wishing to vote in person should attend the meeting and can vote through the online platform.
Voting by corporate representative
Corporate Shareholders or proxies wishing to vote by corporate representative should:
(a) obtain an appointment of corporate representative form from Computershare;
(b) complete and send the form in accordance with the instructions on the form.
OPTHEA
Proxies
- A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the meeting has a right to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote in the Shareholder's place.
- The proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company. A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate.
- A Shareholder who is entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint up to two proxies to attend and vote at the meeting and, in the case of such an appointment, should specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If no such proportion or number is specified, each proxy may exercise half of the votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded.
- Where a Shareholder appoints two proxies, on a poll each proxy may only exercise votes in respect of those Shares or voting rights the proxy represents.
- A proxy may decide whether to vote on an item of business, except where the proxy is required by law or the constitution to vote, or abstain from voting, in his or her capacity as proxy. If a proxy is directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may only vote on the item as directed. If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may vote as he or she thinks fit.
- If the abstention box on the proxy form for any item of business is marked, the proxy will be directed not to vote on a poll and the relevant Shares will not be counted in calculating the required majority on a poll.
- Shareholders who intend to appoint the Company's Chair as proxy (including an appointment by default) should have regard to the information above under the heading 'Appointing the Chair as your proxy'.
- The proxy form included in the Notice must be signed by the Shareholder or the Shareholder's attorney and, in the case of a joint holding, by each of the joint holders.
- If the proxy form is signed by the Shareholder but does not name the proxy or proxies in whose favour it is given, or the proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chair may either act as proxy or complete the proxy form by inserting the name of a Director or the Company Secretary of Opthea.
- The appointment of one or more duly appointed proxies will not preclude a Shareholder from attending this meeting and voting personally. If the Shareholder votes on the Resolution, the proxy must not vote as the Shareholder's proxy on the Resolution.
- To be valid, a proxy form signed under a power of attorney or other authority (if any) must be accompanied by the signed power of attorney, or a certified copy of the power of attorney.
- Proxies given by a corporation must be signed either under seal or under the hand of a duly authorised attorney. In addition, should the constitution of a corporation permit the execution of documents without using a common seal, the documents must be signed by two directors or a director and a company secretary, or for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also a company secretary, that sole director.
- If a body corporate is appointed as proxy, please write the full name of that body corporate (e.g. Company X Pty Ltd). Do not use abbreviations. The body corporate will need to ensure that it:
(a) appoints an individual as its corporate representative to exercise its powers at meetings, in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act; and
(b) provides satisfactory evidence of the appointment of its corporate representative prior to commencement of the meeting.
If no such evidence is received before the meeting, then the body corporate (through its representative) will not be permitted to act as your proxy.

OPTHEA
Explanatory notes
These explanatory notes accompany and form part of, and should be read together with, the Notice.
Resolution 1
Change of Company Name
(a) Background
Since 9 December 2015, the Company has operated under the name "Opthea Limited", during which time its primary activities and strategic focus have centred on ophthalmology, including the development of its lead asset, OPT-302, for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration.
The Company now proposes to change its name from "Opthea Limited" to "Ceryvyn Therapeutics Limited".
As outlined in the Company's investor update lodged with ASX on 17 December 2025, and in the ASX re-quotation announcement lodged on or around the date of this Notice of Meeting, Opthea has redirected the development of OPT-302 on the treatment of lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), a rare and debilitating lung disease primarily impacting women, with significant unmet need and strong alignment with the asset's underlying biology.
This evolution represents a meaningful shift in the Company's therapeutic focus and broader strategic direction. The proposed new name, Ceryvyn Therapeutics Limited, is intended to reflect this evolution and to create a new corporate identity aligned with the Company's scientific capabilities and long-term ambitions as it enters a new phase of development and market engagement.
The Board considers that adopting the new name will strengthen the Company's differentiation and visibility in global biotechnology markets, particularly as it advances its LAM program and deepens engagement with partners, patient communities and investors pursuant to its new business purpose and strategy now and in the future.
The name "Ceryvyn Therapeutics Limited" has been reserved by the Company with ASIC. Following the change of name taking effect, the Board will request that ASX changes the Company's ASX listing code from "OPT" to "CYV" after the change of name takes effect. The code "CYV" has been reserved by the Company.
(b) Sections 157(1) and 136(2) of the Corporations Act
Section 157(1)(a) of the Corporations Act provides that a company may change its name if the company passes a special resolution adopting a new name. The Company also seeks approval under section 136(2) of the Corporations Act to amend the Company's Constitution to reflect the change of name. Section 136(2) of the Corporations Act provides that a company may modify or repeal its constitution, or a provision of its constitution, by special resolution. For a special resolution to be passed, at least 75% of the votes validly cast on the resolution by shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney, or in the case of a Shareholder which is a corporation, by representative) (by the number of shares) must be in favour of the resolution.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the change of name and the amendment to the Constitution to reflect the name change will take effect when ASIC alters the details of the Company's registration. The change will not in itself, affect the legal status of the Company or any of its assets or liabilities.
Recommendation
The Board recommends that all Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
