The Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 1 by a Director or on behalf of “Key Management Personnel” (as defined in the Accounting Standards as published by the Australian Accounting Standards Board) and their “closely related parties”.

Key Management Personnel ( KMP ) are the Company’s Directors and Executives identified in the Company’s Remuneration Report.

However, this does not apply to a vote cast in favour of a Resolution by:

  • (a) a person as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with directions given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the resolution in that way; or

  • (b) the chair of the meeting as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with a direction given to the chair to vote on the resolution as the chair decides; or

  • (c) a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:

  • (i) the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting, on the resolution; and

  • (ii) the holder votes on the resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way..

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 5 by any person who is expected to participate in, or who will obtain a material benefit as a result of, the proposed issue (except a benefit solely by reason of being a holder of ordinary securities in the entity), and any of their associates. However, this does not apply to a vote cast in favour of a resolution by:

  • (a) a person as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with directions given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the resolution in that way; or

4

  • (b) the chair of the meeting as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with a direction given to the chair to vote on the resolution as the chair decides; or

  • (c) a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:

  • (i) the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting, on the resolution; and

  • (ii) the holder votes on the resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way..

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING ON THE RESOLUTIONS

Entitlement to Attend and Vote

The Directors have determined pursuant to Regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth) that the persons entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting as a Shareholder are those persons who are registered holders of shares of the Company at 7.00pm (AEST) on 14 November 2022.

The Company encourages you to register your voting instructions in one of the ways detailed below.

All Resolutions will be by Poll

In accordance with clause 19.8 of the Company’s constitution, the Chair intends to call a poll on each of the resolutions proposed at the Meeting. Each resolution considered at the Meeting will therefore be conducted by a poll, rather than on a show of hands. The Chair considers voting by poll to be in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole and is a way to ensure the views of as many Shareholders as possible are represented at the Meeting.

Videoconference and voting

The Meeting will be accessible to all Shareholders via videoconference on Teams, an online platform which will allow Shareholders to listen to and observe the Meeting. If you are a Shareholder and you wish to attend the Meeting virtually, you will need to pre-register for the Meeting by emailing the Company Secretary, [email protected]. Shareholders pre-registering will prior to the Meeting be emailed an electronic Teams invitation and poll voting slip. The poll voting slip will need to be completed and emailed back to the Company Secretary when asked to do so by the Meeting’s Chair.

You may, if you have completed a Proxy Form, still attend the Meeting via the Teams videoconference facility. Any person you have appointed as proxy will cast your vote on your behalf unless you lodge a poll voting slip, in which case the proxy’s appointment is withdrawn.

Please contact the Company Secretary on +61 439 310 818 or [email protected] if you have any queries about the videoconference facility. Voting by proxy

A member who is entitled to vote at the Meeting may appoint:

  • (a) one proxy if the member is only entitled to one vote; or

  • (b) two proxies if the member is entitled to more than one vote.

Where the member appoints two proxies, the appointment may specify the proportion or number of votes that each proxy may exercise. If the appointment does not specify a proportion or number, each proxy may exercise one half of the votes, in which case any fraction of votes will be discarded.

A proxy need not be a member of the Company.

If you require an additional proxy form, please contact the Share Registry, Link Market Services Limited, on 1300 554 474, which will supply it on request.

The proxy form and the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed (or a certified copy) must be received by the Share Registry, Link Market Services Limited, no later than 14 November 2022 at 4:00pm (AEST) (that is, at least 48 hours before the meeting). Proxies received after this time will not be accepted. Instructions for completing the proxy form are outlined on the form, which may be returned by:

  • (a) posting it in the reply-paid envelope provided;

6

  • (b) posting it to AustChina Holdings Limited C/– Link Market Services Limited, Locked Bag A14, Sydney South NSW 1235;

  • (c) hand delivering it to Link Market Services Limited, Parramatta Square, Level 22, Tower 6, 10 Darcy Street, Parramatta NSW 2150;

  • (d) faxing it to Link Market Services Limited on fax number (02) 9287 0309;

  • (e) lodging it online at linkmarketservices.com.au in accordance with the instructions provided on the website. You will need your Holder Identification Number (HIN) or Security Reference Number (SRN) to lodge your proxy form online.

Proxies given by corporate Shareholders must be executed in accordance with their Constitutions or signed by a duly authorised attorney.

A proxy may decide whether to vote on any motion except where the proxy is required by law or the Constitution to vote, or abstain from voting, in their capacity as a proxy. If a proxy is directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may vote on that item only in accordance with that direction. If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, a proxy may vote how he or she thinks fit.

The Constitution provides that a proxy form issued by the Company may provide that where the appointment of a proxy has not identified the person who may exercise it, the appointment will be deemed to be given in favour of the Chair of the meeting who may either act as proxy or complete the proxy appointment by inserting the name or names of one or more Directors or the secretary.

If a Shareholder appoints the Chair of the meeting as the Shareholder’s proxy and does not specify how the Chair is to vote on an item of business, the Chair will vote, as a proxy for that Shareholder, in favour of the item on a poll.

Voting by Corporate Representative

A body corporate that is a Shareholder, or that has been appointed as a proxy, must ensure that it appoints an individual to act as its representative at the Meeting. The appointment must comply with the requirements of section 250D of the Corporations Act. The representative should bring to the General Meeting, evidence of appointment, including any authority under which it is signed, unless it has previously been given to the Company.

Dated: 17 October 2022

The Notice of Meeting, which is also enclosed, sets out details of proposals concerning the Resolutions to be put to Shareholders.

The Directors recommend Shareholders read the accompanying Notice of Meeting and this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.

Unless otherwise defined, terms used in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the Glossary forming part of this Explanatory Statement.

Financial Statements and Reports

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2022 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s 2022 Annual Report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s 2022 Annual Report is available on its website at www.austchinaholdings.com .

1. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report (Non-Binding)

1.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Company or the Directors of the Company.

The remuneration report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The Chair must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.

1.2 Voting Consequences

Under changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, a company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

8

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

1.3 Previous Voting Results

At the Company’s previous Annual General Meeting, the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

1.4 Proxy voting restrictions

Shareholders appointing a proxy for this Resolution should note the following:

If you appoint a member of the Key Management
Personnel (other than the Chair) whose
remuneration details are included in the
Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of
such a member as your proxy:
You must direct your proxyhow to vote on
this Resolution. Undirected proxies granted to
these persons will not be voted and will not
be counted in calculating the votes on this
Resolution.
If you appoint the Chair as your proxy (where
he/she is also a member of the Key Management
Personnel whose remuneration details are
included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely
Related Party of such a member):
You do not need to direct your proxy how to
vote on this Resolution. However, if you do
not direct the Chair how to vote, you are
taken to expressly authorise the Chair to
exercise his/her discretion in exercising your
proxy even though this Resolution is
connected directly or indirectly with the
remuneration of Key Management Personnel.
The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies
in favour of all Resolutions.
If you appoint any other person as your proxy: You do not need to direct your proxy how to
vote on this Resolution.

2. Resolution 2 – Re-Election of Daniel Chan

2.1 Background

Clause 21.5 of the Constitution provides that a Director must retire from office no later than the longer of the third annual general meeting of the Company, or three years, following that Director's last election or appointment.

Pursuant to Resolution 2, Daniel Chan, being eligible for re-election, offers himself for re-election at the Meeting pursuant to clause 21.5 of the Constitution.

2.2 Qualifications and other material directorships

Mr Chan has extensive experience in the financial and investment arena and holds a Masters Degree in Finance from the Imperial College London and Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and is a member of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (MRICS).

3. Resolution 3 – Ratification of previous issue of Shares to sophisticated investors in March 2022

3.1 Background

On 16 March 2022, the Company announced its intention to issue 181,739,732 Shares ( March 2022 Placement Shares ) by way of placement to sophisticated and professional investors at an issue price of $0.014 per Share. The March 2022 Placement Shares were issued on 23 March 2022.

In undertaking this issue ( Issue ), the Company relied on its 15% issue capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 181,739,732 Shares.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the March 2022 Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1.

3.2 Relevant ASX Listing Rules

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

The Issue does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company's Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company's capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the Issue date.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. To this end, Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval to the Issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Issue will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Issue will be included in calculating the Company's combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.

3.3 Information required under Listing Rule 7.5

For Shareholders to ratify an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.4, the Company must provide the following information pursuant to Listing Rule 7.5:

The names of the persons to whom the entity
issued or agreed to issue the securities or the
basis on which those persons were identified or

3.4 Directors’ Recommendation

None of the Directors have a material personal interest in the subject matter of this Resolution. The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution 3 as it will enable the Company to have flexibility in respect of future capital raising activities.

4. Resolution 4 – Ratification of previous issue of Options to investors in March 2022

4.1 Background

On 16 March 2022, the Company announced that sophisticated and professional investors who subscribed for March 2022 Placement Shares would receive 1 free attaching Option for every 2 March 2022 Placement Share subscribed for, up to 90,869,852 Options ( March 2022 Options ).

All March 2022 Options have an exercise price of $0.028 and expire 16 March 2024.

In undertaking this issue, the Company relied on its 15% issue capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 in respect of all of the March 2022 Options.

4.4 Directors’ Recommendation

None of the Directors have a material personal interest in the subject matter of this Resolution. The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution 4 as it will enable the Company to have flexibility in respect of future capital raising activities.

5. Resolution 5 - Approval of 10% Placement Capacity

5.1

General

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.

An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.

12

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to issue equity securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. As at the date of this Notice, the Company currently has two classes of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: AUH) and Options (ASX Code: AUHO).

This Resolution is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of this Resolution for it to be passed. If Shareholders approve this Resolution, the exact number of Equity Securities which may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 ( 10% Placement Securities ).

5.2 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Calculation for Additional 10% Placement - Listing Rule 7.1A.2

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 period of the approval, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) - E

Where:

  • “A” the number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue at the commencement of the Relevant Period:

  • (A) plus the number of fully paid 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 fully paid ordinary shares issued in the Relevant Period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

    • the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the Relevant Period; or

    • 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 Listing Rule 7.4;

  • (E) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the Relevant Period;

  • (F) less the number of fully paid ordinary shares cancelled in the Relevant Period.

  • “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.

(b) Listing Rule 7.1A.3

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 and issued for cash consideration.

As at the date of this notice of meeting, the classes of Equity Securities in the Company quoted on the ASX are ordinary shares and options. The Company presently has 2,036,832,732 Shares on issue at the date of this Notice of Meeting. The Company is only seeking approval to issue ordinary Shares (and no other class of Equity Securities) under the 10% Placement Capacity.

(c) Information to be given to ASX - Listing Rule 7.1A.4

If Resolution 5 is passed and the Company issues any 10% Placement Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the Company must:

  • (i) state in its announcement of the issue or in its application for quotation of the 10% Placement Securities that they are being issued under Listing Rule 7.1A; and

  • (ii) give to the ASX immediately after the issue a list of allottees of the Placement Securities and the number of Placement Securities allotted to each (this list will not be released to the market).

(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% issue capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

At the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Company has on issue 2,036,832,732 Shares. The Company will have the capacity to issue the following Shares on the date of the Meeting:

  • (i) subject to approval of Resolution 3, 305,524,909 Shares under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) 203,683,273 Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have the 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 (as described above).

5.3 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution:

14

(a) The period for which the approval will be valid - Listing Rule 7.3A.1

The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and

  • (ii) the time and date of the Company’s next Annual General Meeting; or

  • (iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid),

or such longer period if allowed by ASX ( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).

If approval is given for the issue of the 10% Placement Securities then the approval will expire, on 16 November 2023, unless the Company holds its next Annual General Meeting or Shareholder approval is granted pursuant to Listing Rule 11.1.2 or Listing Rule 11.2 prior to that date.

(b) Minimum Price of securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A - Listing Rule 7.3A.2

The issue price for the 10% Placement Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX 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 by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 ASX trading days of the date in section (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

The Company will disclose to the ASX the issue price on the date of issue of the 10% Placement Securities.

(c) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity - Listing Rule 7.3A.3

The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for cash consideration, in which case the Company intends to use funds raised towards any of:

  • (i) an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition);

  • (ii) continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current assets; and/or

  • (iii) general working capital.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

(d) Risk of economic and voting dilution - Listing Rule 7.3A.4

If Equity Securities are issued under the 10% Placement Capacity, there is a risk of economic and voting dilution of existing Shareholders, including the following risks:

  • (i) the market price for Equity Securities in the class of securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A; and

15

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity at a discount to the market price for those Equity Securities on the issue date,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the number of Equity Securities on issue as at 29 September 2022 and the market price as at that date, being $0.007.

The table also shows:

  • (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 as at 29 September 2022. 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 entitlement offer or securities issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future general meeting; and

  • (ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the market price as at 29 September 2022.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (i) There are currently 2,036,832,732 Shares on issue. The issue price set out above is $0.007 which is the closing price on 29 September 2022.

  • (ii) The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  • (iii) The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (iv) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.

16

  • (v) The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  • (vi) This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (vii) 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%.

(e) Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity - Listing Rule 7.3A.5

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

  • (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

  • (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new resources, assets or investments.

(f) Previous issues under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 - Listing Rule 7.3A.6

The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at the Annual General Meeting held on 30 November 2021 ( Previous Approval ).

The Company has not issued or agreed to issue any equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A2 since the Previous Approval.

5.4 Outcome of voting for and against the Resolution

If Resolution 5 is approved by Shareholders, then the Company will have the benefit of the 10% Placement Capacity and be able to issue the 10% Placement Securities within the 10% Placement Period.

If Resolution 5 is not approved by Shareholders, then the Company will not have the benefit of the 10% Placement Capacity and be unable to issue the 10% Placement Securities within the 10% Placement Period. If necessary, the Company may have to source other methods of fundraising to meet its objectives during this period.

17

5.5 Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on this Resolution.

5.6 Directors’ recommendations

None of the Directors have material personal interest in the subject matter of this Resolution. The Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution as it provides the Company with the flexibility to issue further Securities representing up to 10%, in addition to using the Company’s 15% issue capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, of the Company’s share capital during the next 12 months without Shareholder approval.

6. Resolution 6 - Approval of Amendments to the Company’s Constitution

6.1 Background

In keeping with recent developments, the Company proposes to amend the Constitution as set out below. The amendments are proposed to bring the provisions of the Constitution in line with recent technological updates and will assist the Company to streamline communications with Shareholders, as well as to utilise various electronic platforms and tools to hold and conduct Shareholder meetings.

Section 136 of the Corporations Act allows a company to:

  • (a) adopt a new constitution after registration; and

  • (b) modify or repeal its constitution,

by passing a special resolution. Accordingly, this Resolution 6, seeks shareholder approval to amend the existing Constitution by special resolution.

6.2 Proposed Amendments

The Company seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of section 136(2) of the Corporations Act, and for all other purposes, to amend the Constitution as follows:

  • (a) inserting new definition of “Virtual Meeting Technology” in clause 1, as follows:

  • Virtual Meeting Technology means, in terms of section 253Q of the Corporations Act, an instantaneous audio-visual communication device or similar form of technology which, by itself or in conjunction with other arrangements:

  • (a) gives the persons entitled to attend the meeting, as a whole, a reasonable opportunity to participate in proceedings in the main place without being physically present in the same place;

  • (b) enables the Chair to be aware of proceedings in the other place(s); and

  • (c) enables the Members in the separate meeting place(s) to vote on a show of hands or on a poll.”

  • (b) inserting new clause 19.1A, as follows:

  • 19.1A Hybrid and Virtual Meetings

  • (i) Virtual Meeting Technology may be used in holding a general meeting either on its own without a main place of attendance (virtual meeting) or by linking several meeting places to the main place of the general meeting (hybrid meeting).

18

  • (ii) The Chair may arrange for any persons attending the general meeting (including persons whom the Chair considers cannot be accommodated in the place where the meeting is notified to take place) to attend the meeting from one or more separate places using any Virtual Meeting Technology.

  • (iii) If a separate place is linked to the notified place of a general meeting by Virtual Meeting Technology, a Member present at the separate place is taken to be present at the general meeting and entitled to exercise all rights as if he or she was present at the notified place.

  • (iv) Where the general meeting is held by Virtual Meeting Technology without a main place of attendance, the place of meeting is deemed to be the registered office of the Company and the time of meeting is taken to be time at the registered office of the Company.

  • (v) If, before or during the general meeting, any technical difficulty occurs affecting Virtual Meeting Technology and impairing Members’ rights under section 253Q of the Act, the Chair may adjourn the general meeting until the difficulty is remedied.

  • (vi) Where the general meeting is held by Virtual Meeting Technology, a resolution put to the vote at the general meeting must be decided on a poll.

  • (vii) Nothing in this clause is to be construed to limit the powers conferred on the Chair by law.”

  • (c) Insert new clause 19.2A, as follows:

  • 19.2A Electronic notices of meeting

Unless the law provides otherwise:

  • (i) a notice of a general meeting and instrument of proxy need not be provided physically in writing;

  • (ii) a notice of a general meeting and instrument of proxy may be provided to Members using one or more technologies to communicate the contents; and

  • (iii) a notice of a general meeting and instrument of proxy may be provided to Members using one or more technologies to communicate details of an online location where they can be viewed or downloaded.”

6.3 Effect of amendments

The recent legislative updates made to the Corporations Act provide that companies may use technology to allow members to attend general meetings virtually only if a wholly virtual meeting is expressly permitted by the constitution. Clause 19.1A will allow the Company to hold wholly virtual meetings of members.

The Corporations Amendment (Meetings and Documents) Act 2022 (Cth) permits a notice of meeting and any other information provided with that notice, to be communicated using technology. For example, an entity may send its shareholders an email setting out or attaching a notice of meeting and other material relating to that notice of meeting (for example, a proxy form). Alternatively, an entity may send an email to its shareholders with a link to where the notice and other materials can be viewed or downloaded. In circumstances where the entity does not have the email address for certain shareholders, the entity may send a letter or postcard setting out a URL for viewing or downloading the notice and other materials.

Shareholders may elect to receive documents in a physical form or electronically and the Company must provide that member with the documents in the form based on the Shareholder’s election (unless it falls under ASIC’s emergency power to grant relief).

19

It is desirable that the Company continues to have the ability to make notices of meeting and proxy forms available in this manner. Clause 19.2A will facilitate this.

6.4 Directors Recommendation

The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
