EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement forms part of the Notice of Meeting and has been prepared to provide Shareholders with material information to enable them to make an informed decision on the business to be conducted at the AGM.

ITEM 1: Financial Report – Year ended 30 June 2021

The Corporations Act requires the Financial Report (which includes the financial statements and the Directors’ Declaration), the Directors’ Report and the Auditor’s Report to be tabled for discussion at the AGM. There is no requirement either in the Corporations Act or in the Constitution of the Company for Shareholders to approve the Financial Report, the Directors’ Report or the Auditor’s Report. Shareholders attending the AGM will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Financial Report.

This item of business provides Shareholders with an opportunity to ask questions concerning or make comments on the Company’s financial statements and reports for the year ended 30 June 2021 and the Company’s performance generally. A representative of the Auditor (Ernst & Young) will be attending the AGM.

As a Shareholder, you are entitled to submit a written question to the Auditor prior to the AGM provided that the question relates to:

  • the content of the Auditor’s Report; or

  • the conduct of the audit in relation to the Financial Report.

All written questions for the Auditor must be received by the Company no later than 5pm on Tuesday 23 November 2021 . All questions must be sent by email to the Company Secretary at [email protected] and may not be sent directly to the Auditor. The Company will then forward all questions to the Auditor.

The Auditor will answer written questions submitted prior to the AGM.

The Auditor will also answer questions at the meeting from Shareholders relevant to:

  • the conduct of the audit;

  • the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report;

  • the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements; and

  • the independence of the Auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

RESOLUTION 2: Remuneration Report

The Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2021 contains a Remuneration Report which sets out the policy on remuneration of the Directors of the Company and specified executives of the Company.

The Corporations Act requires that a resolution be put to the vote that the Remuneration Report be adopted. The Corporations Act expressly provides that the vote is advisory and does not bind the Directors of the Company. However, if at least 25% of the votes cast are against the adoption of the Remuneration Report, the Company’s next Remuneration Report must explain the Board’s proposed action in response or explain why no action has been taken.

In the following year, if at least 25% of the votes cast on the resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted are against adoption, Shareholders will then vote to determine whether the Directors, excluding the CEO, will need to stand for re-election (a Spill Resolution ). If more than 50% of the votes cast on the Spill Resolution are in favour, a separate re-election meeting must be held within 90 days.

8

At the Company's 2020 Annual General Meeting, the votes cast against the Remuneration Report considered at that meeting were less than 25%.

Members attending the AGM will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

Directors’ recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

Subject to the voting exclusions set out in the Notice of Meeting, the Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this resolution.

RESOLUTION 3: Re-election of Mr. Dale McNamara as a Director of the Company

Mr Dale McNamara Executive Director

Mr. Dale McNamara is a current Director of the Company. Mr. McNamara retires by rotation in accordance with rule 18.6 of the Constitution and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election as a Director.

Dale McNamara has more than 30 years of experience in operational and management roles in the coal mining industry in Australia and China. He founded Wadam Industries, a subsidiary of Industrea Ltd, and served as its Managing Director from 1993. He was then appointed as Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Industrea in 2009. Following the takeover of Industrea in November 2012, Dale assumed the position of Global Director, Mining with the new owner.

Dale was appointed as a Director of the Company on 29 April 2015.

Through his interest in McNamara Super Group Pty Ltd , Dale is a significant Shareholder in the Company.

Directors’ recommendation

The Board recommends (Mr McNamara abstaining) that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

Subject to the voting exclusions set out in the Notice of Meeting, the Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this resolution.

RESOLUTION 4: Approval of Total Aggregate Amount of Directors’ Fees payable to all Non-Executive

Directors

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.17, Shareholder approval is required for the Company to increase the aggregate total pool of fees for remuneration of its non-executive Directors.

Shareholders of the Company have previously set an aggregate total pool of $400,000 per year in November 2019 for remuneration of non-executive Directors. If a non-executive Director performs extra or special services for the Company, the Company may pay to that Director any additional special remuneration the Directors decide.

The aggregate total pool for non-executive Directors is proposed to be increased to $800,000. The proposed maximum of $800,000 has been determined to provide capacity for the Board to appoint such additional non-executive Directors as may be appropriate for the Company’s circumstances.

9

In particular, the Board believes that the Company’s recent elevation to the S&P/ASX300 warrants a renewed focus on corporate governance and ESG, as well as imposing additional obligations on the Company. The Board contemplates that it might be necessary to appoint additional non-executive Directors to the Board for the purposes of establishing and conducting committees of the Board e.g. remuneration.

Further, the Board expects to undertake a detailed analysis of the matrix of existing and required skills and experience at the Board level. In particular, the Company’s heightened focus on technology incubation and commercialisation may warrant the appointment of additional non-executive Directors with particular specialised skills.

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.17, the above amount represents an increase of $400,000 on that previously approved by Shareholders for the aggregate total pool for non-executive Directors. With the approval of the Company’s Shareholders at the AGM held on 26 November 2019, the Company issued 50,000 Performance Rights to Mr Anthony McDonald on 27 November 2019. No other Performance Rights were issued to non-executive Directors.

These amounts may be reviewed and adjusted at future general meetings.

If Shareholder approval is given by passing Resolution 4 as an ordinary resolution, the aggregate total pool of fees for remuneration of its non-executive Directors will be increased to $800,000.

If Shareholder approval is not given, the aggregate total pool of fees for remuneration of its non-executive Directors will remain at $400,000.

Directors’ recommendation

The Board (with Mr Anthony McDonald abstaining) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

Subject to the voting exclusions set out in the Notice of Meeting, the Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this resolution.

RESOLUTION 5 - Approval of the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan

General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 allows a company to issue up to 15% of its issued securities in any 12-month period without obtaining Shareholder approval, subject to certain exceptions. This is referred to in this Notice of Meeting as the 15% Placement Capacity rule.

Exception 13 provides that the 15% Placement Capacity rule does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme if Shareholders have approved the issue of the securities under the scheme within three years of the date of issue of the relevant securities. The purpose of this resolution is to seek such approval.

Expiry of previous incentive plan

The previous long term incentive plan was approved by Shareholders in November 2018 and ran through to June 2021 when all existing grants were completed. The previous plan adopted a ‘cliff edge’ structure, such that there is now effectively no long term incentive arrangement in place at the Company.

10

Under the previous long term incentive plan, Performance Rights were issued to certain senior managers of the Company subject to vesting conditions determined by the Board. Once vested, those Performance Rights were convertible by the participant to ordinary shares on a 1-1 basis. The Company made use of a corporate trustee to help administer this plan.

Need for a new incentive plan

The Board believes that a new long term incentive arrangement is critical to allow the Company to attract, retain and motivate appropriately skilled executives. The Board believes that the ‘cliff edge’ structure previously used is now no longer appropriate and instead intends to implement a new rolling grant structure with an overall goal of delivering growth and value to Shareholders.

The Board further believes that Performance Rights should be granted on an annual basis as part of the participant’s remuneration package, but assessed against the vesting conditions over a reasonable and appropriate measurement period (ordinarily three years).

As part of the move from a ‘cliff edge’ to a rolling grant structure, the Board intends to make an adjusted one-off Initial Grant and Rolling Grant, before moving then to standard Rolling Grants issued on an annual basis. All Rolling Grants will be assessed over a three year measurement period.

Proposed approach in the new Long Term Incentive Plan

The structure of the new plan was approved by the Board on 26 October 2021 and is now being put forward for Shareholder approval for the purposes of Exception 13. No invitations have currently been issued by the Board. Given the expiry of the previous long term incentive plan, it is anticipated that the Board will make an adjusted one-off Initial Grant and the first Rolling Grant at a meeting of the Board in December 2021. As discussed further below, the Board expects to shortly establish a remuneration committee chaired by a non-executive director to make recommendations on granting and vesting.

The Board proposes to make grants of Performance Rights to select invitees. The Board (under recommendation from the remuneration committee, when established) will vary the vesting conditions from year to year and from participant to participant in a manner that the Board believes will best deliver long term value for Shareholders.

It is anticipated that the vesting conditions will contain a blend of ‘internal’ and ‘external’ measurements. Given the current evolution in the businesses operated by the Company, it is anticipated that the vesting conditions for the Initial Grant may be more weighted towards internal measurements and delivery of the Company’s immediate strategic goals. The vesting conditions of Rolling Grants are expected to give greater weighting to ‘external’ measurements such as ‘total shareholder return’.

The Company intends to continue to operate the Long Term Incentive Plan using a corporate trustee under the Long Term Incentive Plan Rules previously approved by Shareholders at the AGM in November 2018.

Specific information under Exception 13

In addition to the information set out above, the material terms of the Long Term Incentive Plan are summarised in the table below.

The Company has issued 1,090,000 Performance Rights since the AGM held in November 2018. Of these, 1,040,000 were issued under the previous long term incentive plan and 50,000 were a special one-off grant to Mr Anthony McDonald (as discussed above). It is noted that 95,000 of the Performance Rights have subsequently been forfeited due to resignations.

11

The maximum number of Performance Rights proposed to be issued under the new Long Term Incentive Plan will not exceed 4,400,000 Shares (being approximately 5% of the number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting). This maximum number is not intended to be a prediction of the actual number of Performance Rights to be issued under the new Long Term Incentive Plan, but is specified for the purposes of setting a ceiling on the number of Performance Rights approved to be issued under and for the purposes of Exception 13.

A voting exclusion statement is included above in this Notice of Meeting.

Material terms of the Long Term Incentive Plan

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Long Term Incentive Plan and the Long Term Incentive Plan Rules.

Item Description
Offer The Board may invite certain eligible persons to apply for Performance
Rights to be issued in accordance with the Long Term Incentive Plan Rules
and other conditions set by the Board.
As part of the move to rolling annual invitations, it is anticipated that in
December 2021 the Company will make an adjusted one-off Initial Grant
and the first Rolling Grant. Thereafter, the Board will issue a standard
Rolling Grant in July 2022 and each July thereafter.
Each Performance Right is an entitlement, upon vesting and exercise, to
an ordinary fully paid Share in the Company (on a 1 to 1 basis).
Performance Rights will not be quoted on the ASX or any other stock
exchange. The Performance Rights will have a nil exercise price.
Eligibility Participation is open to certain senior executives of the Company only. The
number of Performance Rights granted are expected to reflect market
standard percentages of executive fixed pay.
Directors (including non-executive Directors) will not be eligible to
participate in the Long Term Incentive Plan.
Vesting conditions The Board, with recommendations from a newly established remuneration
committee, expects to be highly active and involved in the setting of
appropriate and targeted vesting conditions. The Board expects to use a
blend of ‘internal’ and ‘external’ metrics, with the weightings given varying
from participant to participant and year to year.
It is anticipated that the Initial Grant will contain a greater weighting
towards ‘internal’ measurements such as achievement of strategic and
operational goals. Thereafter, it is anticipated that each Rolling Grant will
contain a balanced weighting between ‘internal’ and ‘external’
measurements, such as ‘total shareholder return’.

12

Item Description
Assessment of vesting It is anticipated that:
- the one-off Initial Grant will be assessed by the Board against the vesting
conditions in June 2023, and
- each Rolling Grant will be assessed by the Board against the vesting
conditions once at the end of a three year measurement period
commencing June 2024 and each June thereafter.
The Board retains a discretion to waive some or all of the vesting
conditions and allow some or all of the Performance Rights to vest. Any
Performance Rights relating to vesting conditions that haven’t been met
will lapse.
Remuneration
committee
The Board anticipates that it will shortly establish a committee of the
Board to deal with remuneration.
Among other things to be set out in the charter, it is anticipated that the
remuneration committee will make recommendations concerning the
grant of Performance Rights, the setting of vesting conditions and the
assessment against those conditions. Any decision of the Board will be
final and binding on all participants.
Trustee Where Performance Rights have vested, the Board will notify the trustee
and direct the trustee to acquire and set aside the relevant number of
Shares to meet any future exercise of those Performance Rights by the
participant. Those Shares will be owned by the trustee unless and until
the participant exercises those Performance Rights.
Exercise A participant may exercise the Performance Rights by written notice in
accordance with the Long Term Incentive Plan Rules.
Upon exercise, a participant becomes beneficially entitled to the Shares.
Termination and lapse Each Performance Right will have a term ending 15 years after the grant
date (unless otherwise determined by the Board and specified in an
invitation to the participant). If not exercised before the end of their term
the Performance Rights will lapse.
If the participant ceases their employment during a measurement period
then the Performance Rights will, subject to satisfaction of the vesting
conditions, vest in proportion to the time elapsed as served. All future and
unvested Performance Rights will lapse.
In the event the Board forms the opinion that a participant has committed
an act of fraud, defalcation or gross misconduct in relation to the
Company, the participant will forfeit all unvested and unexercised
Performance Rights.
No hedging Participants must not enter into an arrangement with anyone if it would
have the effect of limiting their exposure to risk in relation to Performance
Rights (vested or unvested) or restricted securities.
Restrictive period The Board retains the discretion to impose additional restrictive periods
on the Performance Rights after vesting.

13

If Shareholder approval is given by passing Resolution 5 as an ordinary resolution, an issue of securities under the Long Term Incentive Plan on the terms set out in this Notice of Meeting will not count towards the 15% Placement Capacity for the period of three years following the approval.

If Shareholder approval is not given, an issue of securities under the Long Term Incentive Plan will count towards the 15% Placement Capacity.

Directors’ recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

Subject to the voting exclusions set out in this Notice of Meeting, the Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of this resolution.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote or abstain as they choose (to the extent permitted by law). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.
