7.1 General
As detailed above, Mr Robert Waugh was appointed as Non-Executive Director on 25 June 2024. In connection with his appointment, the Company agreed, subject to this Resolution 5 being passed, to issue 1,500,000 Performance Rights to Mr Waugh (and/or his nominee(s)).
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval, pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14 for the issue of 1,500,000 Performance Rights to Mr Waugh (and/or his nominee(s)) under the Employee Incentive Plan.
The Board considers that the grant of Performance Rights to Mr Waugh is a cost effective and efficient reward for the Company to appropriately incentivise Mr Waugh.
Refer to Schedule 2 for the terms and conditions of the Performance Rights. Refer to Schedule 4 for a summary of the material terms of the Employee Incentive Plan.
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, all unvested Performance Rights issued to Mr Waugh will lapse and be cancelled if Mr Waugh ceases to be employed by the Company for any reason other than where Mr Waugh is a Good Leaver.
Resolution 5 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 5.
7.2 Section 200B of the Corporations Act
In accordance with section 200B of the Corporations Act, to give a benefit in connection with a person's retirement from a managerial or executive office, the Company must obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 200E of the Corporations Act.
Section 200B of the Corporations Act applies where the benefit is given to, among other persons, a person whose details were included in the Director's Report for the previous financial year. The details of Mr Waugh are included in the Director's Report for the 2024 Financial Year.
The term "benefit" is open to a potentially wide interpretation and may include automatic, or accelerated, vesting of share-based payments for a person or the exercise of discretion to allow a person to maintain a benefit they would not otherwise be entitled to retain, on, or as a result of, retirement from their position of employment in a company.
The benefits for which approval is sought under Resolution 5 include benefits that result from the Board exercising the discretions conferred under the terms of the Employee Incentive Plan. In particular, the Board will have the discretion to determine that, when Mr Waugh is no longer an Eligible Participant, some or all of the Performance Rights will not lapse at that time (if they would otherwise lapse), and such Performance Rights may vest or be retained.
One of the benefits for which approval is sought under Resolution 5 is the potential issue or transfer of Shares to Mr Waugh upon conversion of the Performance Rights as a result of the Board exercising a discretion to vest the Performance Rights as termination benefits.
The Company is therefore seeking Shareholder approval under section 200B of the Corporations Act in connection with the potential vesting of the Performance Rights proposed to be granted to Mr Waugh pursuant to Resolution 5.
7.3 Specific Information required by section 200E of the Corporations Act
The following information must be provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval for the purposes of section 200E of the Corporations Act:
- (a) The value of the benefit relating to the Performance Rights held by Mr Waugh (and/or his nominee (s)) which may arise in connection with his retirement from a managerial or
12
executive office cannot presently be ascertained. However, matters, events and circumstances that will, or are likely to affect the calculation of that value include:
-
(i) the number of Performance Rights held prior to ceasing employment;
-
(ii) the outstanding conditions (if any) of vesting of the Performance Rights and the number that the Board determines to vest, lapse or leave on foot;
-
(iii) the applicable performance measures and the achievement of such measures (and the personal performance of Mr Waugh);
-
(iv) the portion of the relevant performance period for the Performance Rights that have expired at the time Mr Waugh ceases to be employed or engaged by the Company;
-
(v) the circumstances of, or reasons for, ceasing employment with the Company;
-
(vi) the length of service with the Company and performance over that period of time;
-
(vii) any other factors that the Board determines to be relevant when exercising its discretion to provide potential termination benefits to Mr Waugh;
-
(viii) the market price of the Shares on ASX at the relevant time when the amount or value of the Performance Right is determined;
-
(ix) any changes in law; and
-
(x) the risk-free rate of return in Australia and the estimated volatility of Shares on ASX at the relevant time.
-
(b) The Company will calculate the value of the benefit at the relevant time based on the above factors and using the Black-Scholes Valuation Model or another appropriate pricing model to value the Performance Rights.
7.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company's members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval, unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The issue of Performance Rights to Mr Waugh under the Employee Incentive Plan (and the exercise or conversion of the Performance Rights into Shares) constitutes giving a financial benefit as Mr Waugh is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director. The Directors (other than Mr Waugh, given his material person interest in Resolution 5) have considered the application of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and have resolved that the reasonable remuneration exception provided by section 211 of the Corporations Act is applicable. Accordingly, the Company will not seek approval for the issue of the Performance Rights pursuant to section 208 of the Corporations Act.
7.5 Listing Rule 10.14
Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme:
10.14.1 a director of the company;
10.14.2 an associate of a director of the company; or;
13
- 10.14.3 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The issue of Performance Rights to Mr Waugh falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 above and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.
If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of 1,500,000 Performance Rights to Mr Waugh (and/or his nominee(s)), and pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 exception 14, the Company may issue the Performance Rights without using up the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of 1,500,000 Performance Rights to Mr Waugh (and/or his nominee(s)), and the Company will have to consider alternative arrangements to incentivise Mr Waugh's continued performance in his role as NonExecutive Director.

-
(iii) provided the vesting conditions are satisfied, have the value of a Share, as the Performance Rights have no exercise price and do not have market conditions attached to them. Based on the Share price of $0.018 on 15 October 2024 and if the vesting condition is satisfied, the total value attributed to the Performance Rights to be issued to Mr Waugh (and/or his nominee(s)) would be approximately $27,000;

7.7 Board Recommendation
The Board (excluding Mr Robert Waugh) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.
8 RESOLUTION 6 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE OPTIONS TO MR ROBERT WAUGH
8.1 General
As part of the Mr Robert Waugh's engagement as Non-Executive Director, the Company has agreed, subject to Resolution 6 being passed, to issue an aggregate of 4,000,000 Options to Mr Waugh (and/or his nominee(s)) (in addition to the Performance Rights the subject to Resolution 5).
The Company is proposing to issue:
-
(a) 2,000,000 Tranche 1 Options exercisable at $0.10, with an expiry date 4 years from the date of issue; and
-
(b) 2,000,000 Tranche 2 Options exercisable at $0.14, with an expiry date 4 years from the date of issue.
Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11 and for all other purposes for the grant of Options to Mr Waugh (and/or his nominee(s)).
The Options contemplated by Resolution 6 are proposed to be issued to Mr Waugh (and/or his nominee(s)) to align the long-term goals of Mr Waugh with that of Shareholders and to establish an incentive for Mr Waugh to provide ongoing dedicated services to the Company. The Options are intended to provide remuneration to the Directors (and/or their nominee(s)) that is linked to the performance of the Company. The benefit would only be received from the Options upon the Share price exceeding the exercise price of the Options and thereby warranting their exercise.
Under the Company's circumstances, the Directors consider that issue of Options is a cost effective and efficient reward and incentive for Mr Waugh, as opposed to alternative forms of incentive such as the payment of cash compensation. In addition, the Directors consider it prudent to remunerate the Directors by way of Options so as to preserve the cash reserves of the Company.
The Board has determined the exercise price of the Options with regard to the market value of the Shares, and considers the price to be a suitable premium to meet the objectives of the proposed grant of Options as outlined above. If all of the 4,000,000 Options are exercised, then based on the Company's current Shares on issue, the Options would represent only 0.6% of the issued capital of the Company.
15
The terms and conditions of the Options to be issued to Mr Waugh (and/or his nominee(s)) are summarised in Schedule 3.
Resolution 6 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 6.
8.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations is provided in Section 7.4.
The issue of Options (and the exercise of the Options into Shares) constitutes giving a financial benefit as Mr Waugh is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director. The Directors (other than Mr Waugh, given his material personal interest in Resolution 6) have considered the application of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and have resolved that the reasonable remuneration exception provided by section 211 of the Corporations Act is applicable. Accordingly, the Company will not seek approval for the issue of the Options pursuant to section 208 of the Corporations Act.
8.3 Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:
-
(a) a related party;
-
(b) a person who is, or was at any time in the six months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
(c) a person who is, or was at any time in the six months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
(d) an associate of a person referred to in (a) to (c); or
-
(e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in (a) to (d) is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains shareholder approval.
The issue of Options to Mr Waugh falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and therefore, requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of 4,000,000 Options to Mr Waugh (and/or his nominee(s)), and pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 exception 14, the Company may issue the Options without using the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of 4,000,000 Options to Mr Waugh (and/or his nominee(s)), and the Company will consider alternative arrangements to incentivise Mr Waugh's continued performance in his role as Non-Executive Director.
8.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13

| Total | 4,000,000 |
-

-
(g) the Options are intended to be granted within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);

-
(i) a voting exclusion statement for Resolution 6 is included in the Notice.
8.5 Board Recommendation
The Board (excluding Mr Robert Waugh) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.
9 RESOLUTION 7 – APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR
9.1 General
Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval for the appointment of BDO Audit Pty Ltd ( BDO ) as the auditor of the Company.
The appointment of BDO follows the resignation of BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd as auditor and ASIC's consent to the resignation.
Pursuant to section 327C(1) of the Corporations Act, the Directors appointed BDO to fill the vacancy in the office of auditor. ASIC consented to the appointment of BDO as the Company's auditor.
Under section 327C(2) of the Corporations Act, an auditor who has been appointed under section 327C(1) of the Corporations Act only holds office until the company’s next annual general meeting.
In accordance with section 327B(1)(b) of the Corporations Act, the Company seeks Shareholder approval to appoint BDO as auditor to fill the vacancy in the office of auditor.
17
The Company has received a written notice of nomination from a Shareholder for BDO to be appointed as the Company's auditor. In accordance with section 328B(3) of the Corporations Act, a copy of the notice of nomination is included in Schedule 5.
BDO has consented to act in the capacity of auditor, subject to the passing of Resolution 7, and all other requirements of the Corporations Act in relation to the appointment of an auditor have been, or at the date of this Notice are being met.
Resolution 7 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 7.
9.2 Board Recommendation
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.
10 RESOLUTION 8 – APPROVAL OF EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE PLAN
10.1 Background
The employee and officer incentive plan known as the Future Battery Minerals Limited Employee Incentive Plan ( Employee Incentive Plan ) enables the Company to grant Shares, Performance Rights, Options and Shares upon the conversion or exercise of Performance Rights and Options ( Employee Incentives ) to be issued to eligible Directors, employees and service providers of the Company ( Eligible Participants ).
The Employee Incentive Plan was last approved at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 22 November 2023 ( 2023 AGM ) and, for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 13), is due to be renewed in November 2026. Shareholders approved a maximum of 50,990,599 Employee Incentives to be issued under the Employee Incentive Plan at the 2023 AGM.
Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b), to approve the Employee Incentive Plan, and to enable Shares, Options and Performance Rights (and Shares upon conversion or exercise of those Performance Rights or Options) to be issued under the Employee Incentive Plan to Eligible Participants to be exempted from Listing Rule 7.1 for a period of three years from the date on which Resolution 8 is passed.
A summary of the Employee Incentive Plan, to be approved pursuant to Resolution 8, is detailed in Schedule 4. Additionally, a copy of the Employee Incentive Plan is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company until the date of the Meeting. A copy of the Employee Incentive Plan can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they any queries or concerns.
No Directors will receive Equity Securities pursuant to Resolution 8 without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of Employee Incentives under the Employee Incentive Plan to a Director or any other related party or person whose relationship with the Company or related party is, in ASX's opinion, such that approval should be obtained.
The Employee Incentive Plan is intended to assist the Company to attract and retain key staff. The Board believes that grants made to Eligible Participants under the Employee Incentive Plan will provide a powerful tool to underpin the Company's employment and engagement strategy, and the Employee Incentive Plan will:
-
(a) enable the Company to incentivise and retain existing Key Management Personnel needed to achieve the Company's business objectives;
-
(b) enable the Company to recruit, incentivise and retain additional Key Management Personnel needed to achieve the Company's business objectives;
-
(c) link the reward of key staff with the achievement of strategic goals and long-term performance of the Company;
18
-
(d) align the financial interest of Eligible Participants of the Employee Incentive Plan with those of Shareholders; and
-
(e) provide incentives to participants under the Employee Incentive Plan to focus on superior performance that creates Shareholder value.
Resolution 8 is an ordinary resolution.
The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 8.
10.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1 (exception 13)
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not (subject to specified exceptions), without the approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue during any 12-month period any Equity Securities, or other Equity Securities with rights to convert to equity (such as an Option or Performance Right), if the number of those Equity Securities exceeds 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period.
Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 13) provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 13) is that any issues of Employee Incentives under the Employee Incentive Plan are treated as having been made with the approval of Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1. Approval under Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 13) lasts for a period of three years.
If Resolution 8 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Employee Incentives to Eligible Participants under the Employee Incentive Plan without using the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. However, the Company will be required to seek Shareholder approval for the issue of any Employee Incentives issued under the Employee Incentive Plan to eligible Directions pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14.
If Resolution 8 is not passed, the Company may still issue Employee Incentives to Eligible Participants under the Employee Incentive Plan but any issue of Employee Incentives under the Employee Incentive Plan will effectively reduce the Company's 15% placement capacity for 12 months following the issue of the Employee Incentives.
10.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.2
The following information in relation to Resolution 8 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 13):
-
(a) the material terms of the Employee Incentive Plan are summarised in Schedule 4;
-
(b) since the adoption of the Employee Incentive Plan at the 2023 AGM, a total of 41,500,000 Employee Incentives have been issued under the Employee Incentive Plan;
-
(c) the maximum number of Equity Securities that can be issued under the Employee Incentive Plan following Shareholder approval is 99,803,389, which is equivalent to 15% of the Company's issued share capital at the date of the Notice; and
-
(d) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolution 8.
10.4 Board Recommendation
The Board is excluded from voting Resolution 8 pursuant to the Listing Rule as they are eligible to participate under the Employee Incentive Plan. Accordingly, the Board declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders on Resolution 8.
19
11 RESOLUTION 9 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY
11.1 General
Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity (as defined below) may seek shareholder approval by special resolution passed at an annual general meeting to have the capacity to issue up to that number of Equity Securities equal to 10% of its issued capital without using that company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 ( 10% Placement Capacity ).
An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:
-
(a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
-
(b) has a market capitalisation equal to or less than A$300,000,000.
As at the date of the Notice, the Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of approximately A$11.98 million (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 15 October 2024). If on the date of the Meeting, the Company's market capitalisation exceeds A$300,000,000 or the Company has been included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index, then Resolution 9 will no longer be effective and must be withdrawn.
The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity. The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 11.2(c)).
If Resolution 9 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A up to 10% of its issued share capital over a 12 month period after the Meeting, in addition to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 9 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the 10% Placement Capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 9 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
The Chairperson intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 9.
11.2 Listing Rule 7.1A
(a) Shareholder approval
The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity is subject to Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.
(b) Equity Securities
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.
The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue one quoted classes of Equity Securities, being Shares.
(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Capacity
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that Eligible Entities which have obtained Shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
20
-
A is the number of Shares on issue at the commencement of the relevant period:
-
(A) plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;
-
(B) plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
-
(I) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
(II) the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
-
-
(C) plus the number of Shares issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:
-
(I) the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or
-
(II) the agreement was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
-
-
(D) plus the number of any other Shares issued in the relevant period with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;
-
(E) plus the number of partly paid ordinary shares that became fully paid in the relevant period;
-
(F) less the number of Shares cancelled in the relevant period.
Note that A is has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.
-
D is 10%
-
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4.
(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A
The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
At the date of the Notice, the Company has on issue 665,355,928 Shares and therefore has a capacity to issue:
-
(i) 99,803,389 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(ii) subject to Shareholder approval being sought under Resolution 9, 66,535,592 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 11.2(c)).
(e) Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
21
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph 11.2(e)(i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(f)
10% Placement Period
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained;
-
(ii) the time and date of the entity’s next annual general meeting; or
-
(iii) the time and date of Shareholder approval of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
(the 10% Placement Period ).
11.3 Effect of Resolution
The effect of Resolution 9 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
11.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided as follows:
-
(a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
-
(b) If Resolution 9 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of listed Options, only if the listed Options are exercised). There is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities;
-
(c) The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable 'A' calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at 15 October 2024.
-
(d) The table also shows:
22
-
(i) two examples where variable 'A' has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable 'A' is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting; and
-
(ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.
| Variable 'A' in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 |

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(iii) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity.
-
(iv) No Options (including any Options issued under the 10% Placement Capacity) are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
(v) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
(vi) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.
-
(vii) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(viii) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares.
23
-
(ix) The issue price is $0.018, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 15 October 2024.
-
(e) The Company will only issue the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 9 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
-
(f) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards the acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company's current assets and/or general working capital.
-
(g) The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 3.10.3 and 7.1A(4) upon issue of any Equity Securities.
-
(h) The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity. The identity of the subscribers of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
(i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;
-
(ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
