EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of the Notice convening the Annual General Meeting of shareholders of Petratherm Limited to be held on 25 November 2022. This Explanatory Memorandum is to assist shareholders in understanding the background to and the legal and other implications of the Notice and the reasons for the resolution proposed. Both documents should be read in their entirety and in conjunction with each other.

Other than the information set out in this Explanatory Memorandum, the Directors believe that there is no other information that could reasonably be required by shareholders to consider Resolutions 1 to 4.

1. RESOLUTION 1: ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

The Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2022 contains a Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy of the Company.

An electronic copy of the 2022 Annual Report is available to download or view on the Company's website at www.petratherm.com.au/reports.html The 2022 Annual Report has also been sent by post to those shareholders who have previously elected to receive a hard copy.

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires that a resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report be put to the vote of the Company. Shareholders should note that the vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and, subject to the matters outlined below, will not bind the Company or the Directors. However, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing the Company's remuneration policy.

Section 250R(4) of the Corporations Act prohibits a vote on this resolution being cast (in any capacity) by or on behalf of any of the following persons:

  • (a) a member of the Key Management Personnel details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report; or

  • (b) a Closely Related Party of such a member.

However, under section 250R(5) of the Corporations Act a person described above may cast a vote on Resolution 1 as a proxy if the vote is not cast on behalf of a person described above and either:

  • (a) the person is appointed as a proxy by writing that specifies the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution; or

  • (b) the person is the chair of the meeting and the appointment of the chair as proxy:

  • (1) does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution; and

  • (2) expressly authorises the chair to exercise the proxy even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel for the Company or, if the Company is part of a consolidated entity, for the entity.

Page 6

Please note that if the chair of the meeting is your proxy (or becomes your proxy by default), you expressly authorise the chair to exercise your proxy on Resolution 1 even though it is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel for the Company, which includes the chair. If you appoint the chair as your proxy you can direct the chair to vote for or against or abstain from voting on Resolution 1 by marking the appropriate box on the proxy form.

The chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.

Please also note that under sections 250U and 250V of the Corporations Act, if at two consecutive annual general meetings of a listed company at least 25% of votes cast on a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted are against adoption of the report, at the second of these annual general meetings there must be put to the vote a resolution that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all directors (except the managing director) who were directors at the date the remuneration report was approved at the second annual general meeting must stand for re-election. So, in summary, shareholders will be entitled to vote in favour of holding a general meeting to re-elect the Board if the Remuneration Report receives 'two strikes'. The Remuneration Report did not receive a 'first strike' at the Company's 2021 annual general meeting.

2. RESOLUTION 2: RE-ELECTION OF DONALD STEPHENS AS DIRECTOR

In accordance with rule 6.1 of the Constitution at every annual general meeting one third of the Directors for the time being or, if their number is not three or a multiple of three, then the number nearest to but not exceeding one third (excluding those who retire under rule 9.2 of the Constitution) must retire from office and are eligible for re-election. Accordingly, Mr Donald Stephens retires as a Director of the Company and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.

A resume for Mr Stephens follows:

Donald Stephens BA(Acc), FCA

Mr Stephens is a Chartered Accountant and corporate adviser with over 25 years' experience in the accounting, mining and services industries, including 14 years as a partner of HLB Mann Judd (SA), a firm of Chartered Accountants. He is a Chartered Accountant and corporate adviser specialising in small cap ASX listed entities. Mr Stephens is the Chair of the Company's Audit and Risk Committee.

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.

The Directors (with Mr Stephens abstaining) recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

The chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

3. RESOLUTION 3: APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT FACILITY

3.1 General

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX 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 period.

Page 7

Under ASX 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% ( 10% Placement Facility ).

An 'eligible entity' means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.

Resolution 3 seeks shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without shareholder approval. The exact number of Equity Securities which may be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to section 3.2(c)).

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further shareholder approval.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the 10% Placement Facility and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without shareholder approval set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

3.2 Description of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Shareholder approval

The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.

(b) Equity Securities

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.

The Company, as at the date of the Notice, has on issue the following classes of Equity Securities:

  • ordinary shares quoted on ASX

  • options not quoted on ASX

(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may, during the period of the approval, issue or agree to issue, during the 10% Placement Period (refer to section 3.2(f)), a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Page 8

Where:

  • A is the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of the relevant period:

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

    • the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or

    • the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the ASX Listing Rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or ASX Listing Rule 7.4;

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

    • the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or

    • the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the ASX Listing Rules to have been approved, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or ASX Listing Rule 7.4;

  • plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or ASX Listing Rule 7.4;

  • plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the relevant period;

  • less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the relevant period.

( Note that A has the same meaning in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity. )

  • D is 10%

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the relevant period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the holders of its ordinary securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

Page 9

( Note that relevant period has the same meaning in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, namely:

  • if the entity has been admitted to the official list for 12 months or more, the 12 month period immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement; or

  • if the entity has been admitted to the official list for less than 12 months, the period from the date the entity was admitted to the official list to the date immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement. )

(d) ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.l.

At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 224,751,139 quoted ordinary shares and therefore has a capacity to issue:

  • (1) subject to shareholder approval being obtained under Resolution 4, 33,712,671 Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (2) subject to shareholder approval being obtained under Resolution 3, 22,475,114 Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to section 3.2(c)).

(e)

Minimum Issue Price

The Equity Securities issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be issued for a cash consideration per security which is not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (1) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or

  • (2) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date referred to in section 3.2(e)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

Page 10

(f) 10% Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first to occur of:

  • (1) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained;

  • (2) the time and date of the entity's next annual general meeting; and

  • (3) the time and date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

( 10% Placement Period ).

3.3 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period in addition to using the Company's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 3 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of at least 75% of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate shareholder, by a corporate representative) on the resolution.

3.4 Specific information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows to the extent that such information is not disclosed elsewhere in this Explanatory Memorandum:

  • (a) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new assets or investments (including expense associated with such acquisition) and/or general working capital.

  • (b) There is a risk that:

  • (1) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities in the same class may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (2) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities in the same class on the issue date,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

The table below shows the risk of voting dilution of existing shareholders on the basis of the current market price of shares and the current number of ordinary shares for variable 'A' calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows:

  • (i) two examples where variable 'A' has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable 'A' is based on the number of ordinary shares the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary shares that do not require shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue) or future specific placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future shareholders' meeting; and

  • (ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • No current options are exercised into shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.

  • The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  • The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular shareholder by reason of placements pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility, based on that shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and no other issues of Equity Securities.

  • The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of shares.

  • The issue price is $0.079, being the closing price of the shares on ASX on 23 September 2022.

  • (c) The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities allotted to each will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to factors including, but not limited to, the following:

  • (1) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company including, but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which the existing security holders can participate;

  • (2) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (3) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (4) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial shareholders (subject to shareholder approval, if required) and/or new shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

Page 13

  • (d) The Company previously obtained shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2021 annual general meeting, and has not issued or agreed to issue any Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months preceding the date of this Meeting.

  • (e) At the time of dispatching this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

Resolution 3 is a special resolution .

The Directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

The chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

  1. RESOLUTION 4: APPROVAL OF PREVIOUS ISSUE OF SHARES

On 28 April 2022, the Company announced a placement of 25,833,333 ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.12 per share to raise $3.1 million ( Issue ). The placement shares were issued on 4 May 2022 ( Issue Date ).

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX 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 period.

The Issue does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the Issue Date.

ASX 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 ASX 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 into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issues under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

To this end, Resolution 4 seeks shareholder approval to the Issue under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Issue will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX 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 4 is not passed, the Issue will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the Issue Date.

For the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.5 information regarding the Issue is provided as follows:

Page 14

  • Taylor Collison was lead manager to the placement. The allottees of the shares are professional and sophisticated investor applicants as determined by the lead manager following a review of the Company’s share register and identification of potential new investors, and the running of a bookbuild process. Allocation was determined by prioritising existing shareholders and prospective long term holders.

  • 25,833,333 ordinary shares have been issued.

  • The shares were issued on 4 May 2022.

  • The shares were issued at $0.12 per share.

  • Funds raised from the issue of the shares will be used to underpin drilling operations at the Comet and Woomera Projects, and provide for working capital.

Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.

The Directors do not have an interest in the outcome of Resolution 4 and recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

The chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.

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.
