Dear Shareholder,

I am pleased to invite you to attend a General Meeting of Phoslock Water Solutions Limited ( Company ) to be held at 9.00 am on Friday, 12 August, 2016. The General Meeting will be held at the offices of Phoslock Water Solutions Limited, Suite 403, 25 Lime Street, Sydney, NSW.

I enclose your Notice of Meeting, Explanatory Memorandum and Proxy Form.

The Notice of Meeting (including the Explanatory Memorandum) sets out the business for the General Meeting. Please take the time to carefully read the whole document. To help you understand what the Notice of Meeting contains, below is an outline of the business that is proposed for the General Meeting.

Extension of the Maturity Date under the Convertible Note Deed Poll

Shareholders are being asked to approve a variation to the Convertible Note Deed Poll entered into by the Company and Link Traders (Aust) Pty Ltd ACN 002 065 849 ( Link Traders ), a company associated with the Chairman of the Company, Mr Laurence Freedman on 15 February 2013. Pursuant to the Convertible Note Deed Poll (as amended), the Company issued 1,300 Convertible Notes with an aggregate face value of $1,300,000 to Link Traders with a maturity date of 30 June, 2016. The issue of those Convertible Notes to Link Traders and variations to their original maturity date have previously been approved by Shareholders in general meeting.

On 17 June 2016, Link Traders converted pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Note Deed Poll 650 Convertible Notes into 14,130,434 Shares at a conversion price of 4.6 cents per Share. On that same day, Link Traders also converted a separate 500 convertible notes into 12,500,000 Shares at a conversion price of 4.0 cents per Share. 650 Convertible Notes with a conversion price of 4.6 cents per Share were not converted and remain outstanding under the terms of the Convertible Note Deed Poll. If the 650 notes were converted into Shares, this may have caused an inadvertent takeover trigger.

The Company has requested that Link Traders agree to a further extension of the maturity date for 650 Convertible Notes issued pursuant to the Convertible Note Deed Poll. Link Traders has agreed to the further extension of the maturity date, subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to further vary the terms of the Convertible Note Deed Poll to extend the maturity date for the Convertible Notes issued pursuant to the Convertible Note Deed Poll from 30 June, 2016 to 30 June, 2017.

If you would like to vote on the business outlined in the Notice of Meeting, you may attend the General Meeting in person or appoint a proxy to vote on your behalf at the General Meeting. If appointing a proxy, the enclosed Proxy Form should be completed and returned to the Company (see Proxy Form for details) as soon as possible and, in any event, no later than 9.00 am on Thursday, 11 August, 2016. We encourage you to direct your proxy how to vote on the item of business.

If you have any queries relating to the General Meeting, please contact the undersigned on (02) 8014 7611.

Yours sincerely,

Voting and Proxies

1. Determination of Shareholding and Voting Entitlement

In accordance with regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth), the Directors have determined that the Shares will be taken, for the purpose of determining those persons entitled to attend and vote at the General Meeting, to be held by the persons who are registered as holding them as at 7.00 pm on Wednesday, 10 August, 2016.

Accordingly, transactions registered after that time will be disregarded when determining entitlements to attend and vote at the General Meeting.

2. Votes of Members

On a show of hands, each Shareholder present in person or by proxy or attorney or, in the case of a body corporate, by a representative at the General Meeting will have one vote. On a poll, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy or attorney or, in the case of a body corporate, by a representative will have one vote for each Share held by him or her.

3. Important Voting Information

The Company encourages all Shareholders who submit proxies to direct their proxy how to vote on the Resolution.

If you intend to appoint the Chairman as your proxy, you can direct him how to vote by marking the appropriate boxes for the Resolution (for example, if you wish to vote “for”, “against” or “abstain” from voting) or you can not mark any of the boxes and give the Chairman your express authority to vote your undirected proxy (in which case, the Chairman will vote in favour of the Resolution).

4. Proxies

A Shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote at the General Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on behalf of the Shareholder. Where the Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes, the Shareholder may appoint 2 proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise.

If the Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half of the votes (disregarding fractions).

A proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company.

A Proxy Form accompanies this Notice of Meeting. The Proxy Form contains important information and other instructions which you should read carefully.

Any instrument of proxy deposited or received by the Company in which the name of the appointee is not filled in will be deemed to be given in favour of the Chairman of the meeting to which it relates.

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

A proxy may decide whether to vote on any motion, except where the proxy is required by law or the constitution of the Company to vote, or abstain from voting, in their capacity as 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 the direction. If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may vote as he or she thinks fit (subject to any voting exclusion).

The appointment may be a standing one. Unless otherwise specified in the appointment, the representative may exercise, on that body corporate’s behalf, all of the powers that the body could exercise at a meeting or in voting on a resolution.

Explanatory Memorandum

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders of Phoslock Water Solutions Limited ACN 099 555 290 ( Company ) in connection with the business to be considered at the General Meeting to be held at 9.00 am on Friday 12 August, 2016 at the offices of the Company located at Suite 403, 25 Lime Street, Sydney, NSW.

This Explanatory Memorandum is incorporated in, and forms part of, the accompanying Notice of Meeting. The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide Shareholders with information relevant to the Resolution to be put to Shareholders at the General Meeting.

Terms and expressions used in this Explanatory Memorandum, the Notice of Meeting and the Proxy Form have the meaning given to them in the “ Definitions ” section located at the end of this Explanatory Memorandum.

Details of the business to be considered at the General Meeting are set out below.

Item 1. Extend the Maturity Date of 650 Convertible Notes under the Convertible Note Deed Poll (Resolution 1)

Background

On 15 February 2013, the Company entered into the Convertible Note Deed Poll.

Pursuant to the Convertible Note Deed Poll, the Company may issue Convertible Notes to subscribers. Each Convertible Note has a face value of $1,000 and is unsecured.

On 15 February 2013, Shareholders approved the issue of 1,300 Convertible Notes to Link Traders. Link Traders is a party related to the Chairman of the Company, Mr Laurence Freedman AM. On 15 February 2013, following Shareholder approval, the Company issued the Link Traders Notes to Link Traders.

The original maturity date under the Convertible Note Deed Poll was 31 December 2013 ( Original Maturity Date ). The Company obtained Shareholder approval on 10 January, 2014 to extend the Original Maturity Date from 31 December, 2013 to 30 June, 2014 (or such later date agreed between the Company and the Noteholder). On 10 January 2014, the Company and Link Traders entered into the Deed of Variation to effect the change in the Original Maturity Date. The Deed of Variation also amended the Convertible Note Deed Poll to require a Noteholder who wishes to have their Convertible Note repaid, to notify the Company in writing of their intention to seek repayment of the Convertible Note at least 30 days prior to the maturity date. On 17 July 2014, the Company obtained Shareholder approval to extend the maturity date from 31 June, 2014 to 30 June, 2016 (or such later date agreed between the Company and the Noteholder).

On 17 June 2016, Link Traders converted pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Note Deed Poll 650 Convertible Notes into 14,130,434 Shares at a conversion price of 4.6 cents per Share. On that same day, Link Traders also converted a separate 500 convertible notes into 12,500,000 Shares at a conversion price of 4.0 cents per Share. 650 Convertible Notes with a conversion price of 4.6 cents per Share were not converted and remain outstanding under the terms of the Convertible Note Deed Poll. If the 650 notes were converted into Shares, this may have caused an inadvertent takeover trigger.

The Company has requested that Link Traders agree to a further extension of the maturity date for 650 Convertible Notes issued pursuant to the Convertible Note Deed Poll. Link Traders has agreed to the further extension of the maturity date, subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to further vary the terms of the Convertible Note Deed Poll to extend the maturity date for the Convertible Notes issued pursuant to the Convertible Note Deed Poll from 30 June, 2016 to 30 June, 2017.

In accordance with the Convertible Note Deed Poll, Shares issued upon the conversion of a Convertible Note will have an issue price of 4.6 cents per Share. Link Traders is currently the only holder of Convertible Notes issued pursuant to the Convertible Note Deed Poll.

Page 5

Terms of the Convertible Notes

Each Convertible Note is subject to the following terms:

• interest of 15% per annum is payable monthly on each Convertible Note from the date of issue until the Convertible Note is converted into Shares in the Company or repaid by the Company;

• a Noteholder may convert the Convertible Notes into Shares in the Company at any time from the date of issue of the Convertible Note until 5.00pm on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date;

• the Maturity Date in respect of a Convertible Note is 30 June 2017, or such later date agreed between the Company and the Noteholder;

• the number of Shares to be issued on conversion of 1 Convertible Note is 21,739 (being an issue price per Share of 4.6 cents);

• the Company must not convert, and a Noteholder must not seek to convert, any or all of the Convertible Notes if to do so would involve a breach of the Corporations Act or any other law;

• any Convertible Notes not converted to Shares by the Maturity Date must be repaid by the Company at its face value of $1,000, plus all accrued interest on the Convertible Note;

• Convertible Notes are freely transferrable; and

• material amendments to the Convertible Note Deed Poll may only be made if the amendments are approved by the consent in writing of Noteholders holding more than one-half of the issued Convertible Notes.

The Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to extend the maturity date under the Convertible Note Deed Poll from 30 June 2016 to 30 June 2017. The extension of the maturity date may benefit Link Traders, a party related to the Chairman of the Company. Link Traders currently holds a 18.82% shareholding in the Company. If all of the 650 Convertible Notes are converted, Link Traders’ percentage shareholding in the Company could increase to a maximum of approximately 22.8% (assuming, apart from the issue of Shares on the exercise of options held by Link Traders, no other Shares are issued by the Company in the meantime and subject to the requirements of the Corporations Act). There is, however, no assurance that the Link Traders will convert its Convertible Notes or exercise its options.

A copy of the Convertible Note Deed Poll (as amended) is available to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary.

The Listing Rules do not require Shareholders to approve the further variation to the Convertible Note Deed Poll; however, Link Traders’ agreement to extend the maturity date is subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors (other than the Chairman, who has declined to make a recommendation due to his position as director and ultimate controller of Link Traders) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution.

Voting Exclusion Statement

The Company will disregard any votes cast on the Resolution by Link Traders and any of its associates. However, the Company need not disregard a vote if it is cast by a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the Proxy Form, or it is cast by the person chairing the General Meeting as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides.
