EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 4

1.1 Background to Placement

As announced on 24 August 2023, the Company secured firm commitments from professional and sophisticated investors ( Placement Participants ) to raise $2,000,000 (before costs) via a two-tranche placement with the issue of 28,571,429 Shares at an issue price of $0.07 per Share ( Placement ).

On 31 August 2023 and pursuant to the Placement, the Company issued the first trache of 19,525,168 Shares as follows:

  • (a) 117,75,168 Shares pursuant to the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity; and

  • (b) 7,750,000 Shares pursuant to the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate,

(together, the T1 Placement Shares ).

The Company’s 7.1A Mandate was previously approved by Shareholders at the Company’s annual general meeting held on 29 November 2022 ( 2022 AGM ).

Subject to receiving Shareholder approval at this Meeting, the Company will issue the second tranche of 9,046,261 Shares pursuant to the Placement ( T2 Placement Shares ).

The funds raised under the Placement will be used for the sole purpose of the Company to enter into a transaction with Daytona Lithium Pty Ltd (ACN 663 181 806) ( Daytona ) and expenses of the offer, to which the Company will acquire a 35% interest in Daytona.

1.2 Lead Manager

PAC Partners Securities Pty Ltd (ACN 623 653 912) ( PAC Partners ) was engaged as lead manager to the Placement under a lead manager mandate ( Lead Manager Mandate ).

In consideration for the provision of the lead manager services and pursuant to the Lead Manager Mandate, the Company agreed to pay PAC Partners:

  • (a) a selling fee of 4% of the funds raised under the Placement; and

  • (b) a management fee of 2% of the funds raised under the Placement.

In addition, the Company agreed to issue, subject to Shareholder approval, 2,000,000 Options to PAC Partners. The Options have an exercise price of $0.25 and expire on or before 1 May 2026 ( Broker Options ). For avoidance of doubt, the Broker Options will be on the same terms and conditions as the Options currently trading on the ASX under the code ‘PFEOA’.

Further, the Company agreed to reimburse PAC Partners for all reasonable outof-pocket expenses (including GST) incurred by PAC Partners in connection with

4

the Placement, including but not limited to marketing and communication costs, printing, couriers, postage and distribution, roadshow expenses, accommodation, travel and legal fees. PAC Partner must seek written approval from the Company prior to incurring any individual expense above $1,000 (including for legal fees).

The Lead Manager Mandate is otherwise on customary terms, including confidentiality terms, representations and warranties.

For more information on the Placement and the lead manager engagement, please refer to the announcements dated 24 August 2023.

1.3 Summary of Resolutions 1 to 4

The Company seeks Shareholder approval for the following:

  • (a) ratification of 11,775,168 T1 Placement Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1, being the subject of Resolution 1;

  • (b) ratification of 7,750,000 T1 Placement Shares pursuant to the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1A Mandate, being the subject of Resolution 2;

  • (c) approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 9,046,261 T2 Placement Shares to the Placement Participants, being the subject of Resolution 3; and

  • (d) approval to issue 2,000,000 Broker Options to PAC Partners (or its nominee/s), being the subject of Resolution 4.

2. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES - LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A

2.1 General

As summarised in Section 1.1 above, on 31 August 2023, the Company issued the T1 Placement Shares to the Placement Participants pursuant to the Placement.

The issue of the T1 Placement Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.

2.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

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 12 month 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%.

The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the 2022 AGM.

The issue of the T1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the T1 Placement Shares.

5

2.3 Listing Rule 7.4

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 in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the T1 Placement Shares.

Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the T1 Placement Shares.

2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the T1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the T1 Placement Shares.

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the T1 Placement Shares 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 the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the T1 Placement Shares.

2.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 1 and 2:

  • (a) the T1 Placement Shares were issued to the Placement Participants, being professional and sophisticated investors who are clients of PAC Partners. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved PAC Partners seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company;

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients were:

  • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (c) 19,525,168 T1 Placement Shares were issued on the following basis:

  • (i) 117,75,168 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 1); and

6

  • (ii) 7,750,000 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 2);

  • (d) the T1 Placement Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (e) the T1 Placement Shares were issued on 31 August 2023;

  • (f) the issue price was $0.07 per T1 Placement Share under both the issue of Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the T1 Placement Shares;

  • (g) the purpose of the issue of the T1 Placement Shares is set out in Section 1.1; and

  • (h) the T1 Placement Shares were not issued under an agreement.

3. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE SHARES TO PLACEMENT PARTICIPANTS

3.1 General

As summarised in Section 1.1 above, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to issue the T2 Placement Shares to the Placement Participants pursuant to the Placement.

As summarised in Section 2.2 above, 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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The proposed issue of the T2 Placement Shares falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

3.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the T2 Placement Shares. In addition, the issue of the T2 Placement Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the T2 Placement Shares. Consequently, the Company may be in default and may need to pay the Placement Participants the value of the T2 Placement Shares in cash.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the T2 Placement Shares.

Resolution 3 is independent of Resolutions 1, 2 and 4.

3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:

7

  • (a) the T2 Placement Shares will be issued to the Placement Participants, being professional and sophisticated investors who are clients of PAC Partners. The recipients were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved PAC Partners seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital raising from non-related parties of the Company;

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.2 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients will be:

  • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (c) the maximum number of T2 Placement Shares to be issued is 9,046,261. The T2 Placement Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (d) the T2 Placement Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the T2 Placement Shares will occur on the same date;

  • (e) the issue price of the T2 Placement Shares will be $0.07 per T2 Placement Share. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the T2 Placement Shares. For avoidance of doubt, the issue price of the T2 Placement Shares is the same as the T1 Placement Shares;

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the T2 Placement Shares is set out in Section 1.1;

  • (g) the T2 Placement Shares are not being issued under an agreement; and

  • (h) the T2 Placement Shares are not being issued under, or to fund, a reverse takeover.

4. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE BROKER OPTIONS TO PAC PARTNERS

4.1 General

As summarised in Section 1.1 above, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to issue the Broker Options to PAC Partners pursuant to the Lead Manager Mandate.

As summarised in Section 2.2 above, 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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The proposed issue of the Broker Options falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

8

4.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Broker Options. In addition, the issue of the Broker Options will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Broker Options. Consequently, the Company may be in breach of the Lead Manager Mandate and may need to pay an amount equal to the Broker Options in cash.

Resolution 4 is independent of Resolutions 1 to 3.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Broker Options.

4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

  • (e) the Broker Options will be issued at a nil issue price, in consideration for lead manager services provided by PAC Partners;

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Broker Options is to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the Lead Manger Mandate;
