3. Resolution 1 – Ratification of issue of Placement Shares
3.1 General
On 26 June 2023, the Company announced that it had entered into a Cornerstone Investment and Collaboration Deed with Global Lithium Resources Ltd ( GL1 ) pursuant to which GL1 agreed to subscribe for 220,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.018 per Share ( Placement Shares ) to raise $3.96 million (before costs).
On 30 June 2023, the Company issued the Placement Shares to GL1 (or its nominees) as follows:
-
(a) 25,000,000 Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(b) 195,000,000 Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A.
Resolution 1(a) and (b) seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Placement Shares.
3.2 Summary of the Cornerstone Investment and Collaboration Deed
Under the terms of the Cornerstone Investment and Collaboration Deed, the Company and GL1 agreed to form a strategic relationship in respect of the development of the Roe Hills Project. The Deed includes the following material terms:
-
(a) Technical Committee : the Company and GL1 will form a Technical Committee responsible for, amongst other things, assessing and reviewing the overall project of the Roe Hills Project, considering technical studies and reports and providing the Kairos Board and management with non-binding recommendations in relation to the Roe Hills Projects.
-
(b) Right of First Refusal : the Company granted GL1a right of first refusal over potential disposals of its interests in any tenements comprising the Roe Hills Project.
-
(c) Infrastructure access, water rights and heritage surveys : the parties agreed to collaborate in respect of sharing access to infrastructure over the Roe Hills Project and GL1's Manna Project area, water access over the Roe Hills Project area, and
Page 7
cooperation in respect of heritage and site surveys over the Roe Hills Project or the Manna Project.
- (d) Other covenants : the Company agreed to provide GL1 with advance notice of future equity issues (subject to customary exceptions, such as issues pursuant to employee incentive schemes or on exercise of convertible securities) so as to provide GL1 with an opportunity to participate in such raisings on equivalent terms to other subscribers.
The above rights apply for so long as GL1 does not voluntarily dispose or dilute its shareholding below 5% of the Shares on issue, subject to certain exceptions. GL1 has also agreed to a 12-month standstill on acquiring more than 15% of the voting power in the Company.
3.3 Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4
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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase its 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 22 November 2022.
The issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company's placement capacities under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. This reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the issue of the Placement Shares.
Listing Rule 7.4 provides an exception to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. It provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A), those Equity Securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 1(a) and (b) will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 and the 10% additional placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1A without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 1(a) is passed, 25,000,000 Placement Shares 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 1(b) is passed, 195,000,000 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 1(a) is not passed, 25,000,000 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity
Page 8
Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 25,000,000 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of those Placement Shares.
If Resolution 1(b) is not passed, 195,000,000 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 195,000,000 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of those Placement Shares (and assuming the Company's approval under Listing Rule 7.1A remains in force for this period).
3.4 Specific 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 the ratification of the issue of the Placement Shares:
-
(a) The Placement Shares were issued to GL1 or its nominees.
-
(b) A total of 220,000,000 Placement Shares were issued as follows:

-
(ii) 195,000,000 Placement Shares were issued using the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.
-
(c) The Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue.
-
(d) The Placement Shares were issued on 30 June 2023 at an issue price of $0.018 per Share.
-
(e) The proceeds from the issue of the Placement Shares will be applied towards the exploration and development of the Roe Hills Project or as may otherwise be agreed from time to time between the Company and GL1.
-
(f) The material terms of the Cornerstone Investment and Collaboration Deed are summarised in Section 3.2 above.
-
(g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
3.5 Additional information
Resolution 1(a) and (b) are separate ordinary Resolutions.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1(a) and (b).
4. Resolution 2 – Ratification of issue of Joint Underwriter Options
4.1 General

The Joint Underwriter Options were issued within the 15% limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1, without the need for Shareholder approval.

As consideration for the joint underwriting and joint lead manager services, the Company agreed to pay the Joint Underwriters (or their respective nominees) the following fees on a 50/50 basis:

Page 10
The Joint Underwriter Agreement contains additional provisions, including termination rights and warranties and indemnities in respect of the Company, which are considered standard for agreements of this nature.
4.3 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
A summary of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 is in Section 4.2 above.
The issue of the Joint Underwriter Options does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. This reduces 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 of the Joint Underwriter Options.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 2 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 2 is passed, 50,000,000 Joint Underwriter Options 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 2 is not passed, 50,000,000 Joint Underwriter Options will continue to be included in the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 50,000,000 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue of those Joint Underwriter Options.

6.2 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 any of the following persons without the approval of its Shareholders:
-
(a) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);
-
(b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (30%+) in the company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);
-
(c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (10%+) 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 (Listing Rule 10.11.3);
-
(d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or
-
(e) a person whose relation with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1 or 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5).
Page 14
The Directors are each a related party of the Company by virtue of being Directors. Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is therefore required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Board that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director SubUnderwriter Options as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of the Director Sub-Underwriter Options to the Directors (and/or their respective nominee/s) will not be included in the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 4(a) to (e) (inclusive) will be to allow the Company to issue the Director Sub-Underwriter Options to the Directors (or their respective nominees).
If Resolution 4(a) to (e) (inclusive) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Sub-Underwriter Options and may need to consider alternative forms of consideration for the Directors sub-underwriting, which may include using the Company’s existing cash reserves.
Resolution 4(a) to (e) (inclusive) are not conditional on each other, and Shareholders may approve one or all of those Resolutions (in which case, the Director Sub-Underwriter Options the subject of the relevant Resolution(s) will be issued), even though Shareholders have not approved all of these Resolutions.
6.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Director Sub-Underwriter Options:
-
(a) The Director Sub-Underwriter Options will be issued to the Directors, or their respective nominees.
-
(b) Each of the Directors fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being Directors of the Company. In the event the Director Sub-Underwriter Options are issued to a nominee of a Director, that nominee will fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.4.
-
(c) A maximum of 22,888,888 Director Sub-Underwriter Options will be issued to the Directors (or their respective nominees) in the manner and form set out in Section 6.1 above.

-
(h) A summary of the material terms of the Joint Underwriter Agreement is in Section 4.2 above.
-
(i) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
6.4
Section 195 of the Corporations Act
Section 195(1) of the Corporations Act prohibits a director of a public company who has a material personal interest in a matter that is being considered at a meeting of directors from being present while the matter is being considered at the meeting or voting on the matter. If there is not a quorum of directors who are eligible to vote on a matter because of the operation of section 195(1) of the Corporations Act, one or more directors may call a general meeting and the general meeting may deal with the matter.
The Directors have a personal interest in the outcome of each of their respective Resolutions under Resolution 4(a) to (e) (inclusive) and have exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put the issue of the Director Sub-Underwriter Options to the Directors to Shareholders to resolve upon.
6.5 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:
-
(a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 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
Page 16
of the Corporations Act.
The proposed issue of the Director Sub-Underwriter Options constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company.
The Board consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Director Sub-Underwriter Options because the Director Sub-Underwriter Options will be issued on the same terms as those Options issued to non-related party sub-underwriters who have sub-underwritten the Rights Issue and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm's length terms.
6.6 Additional information
Resolution 4(a) to (e) (inclusive) are separate ordinary resolutions.
The Board declines to make a recommendation in respect of Resolution 4(a) to (e) (inclusive) as each of the Directors have a personal interest in the Resolutions.
