EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

Pivotal Metals Limited ACN 623 130 987

This Explanatory Memorandum accompanies the notice of general meeting ( Notice of Meeting ) of the Company to be held at Level 8, London House, 216 St Georges Terrace, Perth WA 6000 at 3:00pm (Perth time) on Thursday, 2 March 2023 ( Meeting ).

The Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to assist Shareholders in determining how to vote on the Resolutions set out in the Notice of Meeting and is intended to be read in conjunction with the Notice of Meeting.

Special business

Resolutions 1 to 3 (inclusive): Approval of issue of Director Placement Shares to Steven Turner, Robert Wrixon and Daniel Rose

General

  • 1 On 12 December 2022, the Company announced a placement to raise approximately $2.1 million through the issue of 77,814,807 Pivotal Metals Shares ( Placement Shares ) at an issue price of $0.042 per Placement Share ( Placement ) to sophisticated and professional investors. The following Directors elected to participate in the Placement (on the same terms as those which applied to other Placement participants), and as such deposited their subscription funds with the Company at the time of announcement of the Placement, subject to Shareholder approval:

  • Steven Turner (or his nominee), who will be issued 1,190,476 Director Placement Shares under the Placement to raise $49,999.99 (subject to Shareholder approval sought pursuant to Resolution 1);

  • Robert Wrixon (or his nominee), who will be issued 2,380,952 Director Placement Shares under the Placement to raise $99,999.98 (subject to Shareholder approval sought pursuant to Resolution 2); and

  • Daniel Rose (or his nominee), who will be issued 3,571,430 Director Placement Shares under the Placement to raise $150,000.06 (subject to Shareholder approval sought pursuant to Resolution 3).

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

  • 2 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:

  • obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • 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.

  • 3 If passed, Resolutions 1 to 3 (inclusive) will result in the issue of securities which constitutes the giving of a financial benefit, and Steven Turner, Robert Wrixon and Daniel Rose are Related Parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

  • 4 In respect of Resolutions 1 to 3 (inclusive), the Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required because the Director Placement Shares will be issued to Steven Turner (or his nominee), Robert Wrixon (or his nominee) and Daniel Rose (or his nominee) on the same terms as other Placement Shares to be issued to other Placement participants, and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms for the purposes of the exception set out in section 210 of the Corporations Act.

7

ASX Listing Rule 10.11

  • 5 ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies, an ASX-listed company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to:

  • a Related Party of the company (ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1);

  • a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company (ASX Listing Rule 10.11.2);

  • a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 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 (ASX Listing Rule 10.11.3);

  • an Associate of a person referred to in ASX Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (ASX Listing Rule 10.11.4); or

  • a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in ASX Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders (ASX Listing Rule 10.11.5),

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

  • 6 The issue of the Director Placement Shares the subject of Resolutions 1 to 3 (inclusive) does not fall within any of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule 10.12, and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

  • 7 Resolutions 1 to 3 (inclusive) therefore seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Director Placement Shares to Steven Turner (or his nominee), Robert Wrixon (or his nominee) and Daniel Rose (or his nominee) under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A

8 If Resolutions 1 to 3 (inclusive) are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Placement Shares within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and will raise additional funds which will be used in the same manner as the other Placement funds (as set out in the Company's ASX announcement dated 12 December 2022), namely to complete the acquisition of the Horden Lake Cu-Ni-PGM deposit in Quebec, Canada announced by the Company on 13 September 2022. If Resolutions 1 to 3 (inclusive) are passed, a separate approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 will not be required for the issue of the Director Placement Shares (because approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 such that Exception 14 under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 applies), and the issue of the Director Placement Shares will not use up any of the Company’s Placement Capacity.

  • 9 If any of Resolutions 1 to 3 (inclusive) is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Director Placement Shares, and the subscription funds already deposited with the Company by the relevant Director(s) will be returned to the relevant Director(s).

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

  • 10 Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 1 to 3 (inclusive):

  • the Director Placement Shares will be issued to Steven Turner (or his nominee), Robert Wrixon (or his nominee), and Daniel Rose (or his nominee);

  • the proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares falls within the category set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1, as Steven Turner, Robert Wrixon and Daniel Rose are Related Parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors;

  • the number of Director Placement Shares to be issued to Steven Turner (or his nominee) is 1,190,476, the number of Director Placement Shares to be issued to Robert Wrixon (or his

8

nominee) is 2,380,952, and the number of Director Placement Shares to be issued to Daniel Rose (or his nominee) is 3,571,430;

  • the Director Placement Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the other Placement Shares and existing Pivotal Metals Shares;

  • the Director Placement Shares will all be issued no later than one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules);

  • the issue price for the Director Placement Shares will be $0.042 per Director Placement Share, being the same issue price as for the other Placement Shares to be issued to other Placement participants;

  • the purpose of the issue of the Director Placement Shares is set out at paragraph 8 above; and

  • this Notice of Meeting includes voting exclusion statements for Resolutions 1 to 3 (inclusive).

Directors’ recommendations

  • 11 The Directors (with Steven Turner abstaining) recommend that you vote in favour of Resolution 1, the Directors (with Robert Wrixon abstaining) recommend that you vote in favour of Resolution 2, and the Directors (with Daniel Rose abstaining) recommend that you vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Resolution 4: Ratification of previous issue of Convertible Securities

General

  • 12 On 12 December 2022, the Company announced the raising of approximately $4,300,000 through the issue of Pivotal Metals securities, including 1,080,000 convertible securities in Pivotal Metals ( Convertible Securities ) at an issue price of $1.00 per Convertible Security to RiverFort Global Opportunities PCC Ltd, which are the subject of Resolution 4. Further information regarding this capital raising is set out at paragraph 1 above and in the Company's ASX announcement dated 12 December 2022.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4

  • 13 ASX Listing Rule 7.1 permits an ASX-listed company to issue up to 15% of its issued share capital during any 12 month period without obtaining shareholder approval, and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A permits certain listed companies to issue up to an additional 10% of their issued share capital during any 12 month period, in both cases subject to certain exceptions (together, the Placement Capacity ). Pivotal Metals is an eligible entity to which ASX Listing Rule 7.1A applies (as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and it has a market capitalisation of less than $300 million), and it obtained the required approval of its Shareholders at its 2022 annual general meeting held on 22 November 2022.

  • 14 The issue of the Convertible Securities the subject of Resolution 4 did not exceed Pivotal Metals’ Placement Capacity. However, ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where an issue of Equity Securities is ratified by Shareholders in general meeting, the issue is treated as having been made with Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and/or ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (as the case may be), thereby replenishing Pivotal Metals’ Placement Capacity and giving it the flexibility to issue further Equity Securities up to that limit during the applicable 12 month period.

  • 15 Resolution 4 therefore seeks approval from Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the previous issue of 1,080,000 Convertible Securities.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A

  • 16 If Resolution 4 is passed, Pivotal Metals’ Placement Capacity will be replenished, which will give it flexibility to issue further Equity Securities during the 12 month period following issue of the Convertible Securities. If Resolution 4 is not passed, Pivotal Metals’ Placement Capacity will not be replenished, which will limit its ability to issue further Equity Securities during the 12 month period following issue of the Convertible Securities without first obtaining Shareholder approval.

9

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

  • 17 Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

  • the Convertible Securities were issued to RiverFort Global Opportunities PCC Ltd;

  • the number of Convertible Securities issued was 1,080,000;

  • the material terms of the Convertible Securities are set out in Annexure 1;

  • the Convertible Securities were issued on 16 December 2022;

  • the issue price for the Convertible Securities was $1.00 per Convertible Security;

  • the purpose of the issue of the Convertible Securities was to effect a full draw down of the $1 million equity placement commitment as announced by Pivotal Metals on 12 December 2022, which is being used for the purpose set out at paragraph 8 above;

  • a summary of the other material terms of the agreement between Pivotal Metals and RiverFort Global Opportunities PCC Ltd is set out in Annexure 1, further details of which are provided in Pivotal Metals' ASX announcements dated 13 September 2022 and 12 December 2022; and

  • this Notice of Meeting includes a voting exclusion statement for Resolution 4.

Directors’ recommendation

  • 18 The Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of Resolution 4.

ANNEXURE 1

RiverFort Global Opportunities PCC Ltd convertible bridge loan note Material terms

The convertible bridge loan note ( Loan Note ), once drawn, may be converted at RiverFort Global Opportunities PCC Ltd’s ( Lender ) option at $0.045 per Pivotal Metals Share ( Premium Placement Price ), being a 50% premium to the 5-day volume weighted average price of Pivotal Metals Shares prior to the acquisition announcement calculated at $0.030 per Pivotal Metals Share ( Closing Price ), or repaid within 90 days ( Repayment Date ), plus accrued interest (being 8%) and fees (comprising 3.75% implementation fee (payable in cash upon each tranche draw down).

Draw down is conditional upon:

  • satisfactory completion of Lender due diligence process, documentation and having sufficient capacities to issue the Pivotal Metals Shares in the event of early conversion;

  • the payment of an upfront $10,000 due diligence payment and Lender legal fees;

  • the Loan Note being secured by way of a PPSR security interest over the assets of the Company; and

  • entering into a 3-year performance agreement ( Performance Agreement ) for the payment of $100,000 in cash or Pivotal Metals Shares (at the Company’s option) per tranche, if the 5-day volume weighted average price of Pivotal Metals Shares exceeds 100% of the Closing Price.

If the Loan Note is not repaid in full within 90 days, then:

  • the Loan Note is converted through the issuance of Pivotal Metals Shares to the Lender over a maximum period of 3 years at the lower of the Premium Placement Price and 92% of the average of the 5-day volume weighted average price of Pivotal Metals Shares over the previous 20 trading days, as elected by the Lender;

  • the Performance Agreement is cancelled and replaced with the issuance of 3-year options. The number of options issued shall equal 30% of the total tranches drawn, divided by the 5-day volume weighted average price of Pivotal Metals Shares immediately preceding the Repayment Date ( Repayment Date Price ). The strike price will be equal to the lower of: (a) the Premium Placement Price; and (b) a 30% premium to the Repayment Date Price, but in any event shall not be less than the Repayment Date Price; and

  • the Company may elect to repay the balance outstanding at any time following the Repayment Date if the Pivotal Metals Share price is below the Premium Placement Price and with the payment of a redemption fee of 10% on the value repaid.

On the basis that the Loan Note converts at $0.045 per Pivotal Metals Share, 22,222,222 Pivotal Metals Shares will be issued. However, if the 5-day volume weighted average price of Pivotal Metals Shares prior to conversion of the Loan Note is less than $0.049 per Pivotal Metals Share then the conversion price will be less than $0.045 per Pivotal Metals Share (because 92% of $0.049 equals $0.045). In those circumstances, more Pivotal Metals Shares will be issued on conversion of the Loan Note.
