Resolution 1 - Remuneration Report 2025
Section 300A of the Corporations Act requires that the Directors’ Report must contain a Remuneration Report containing prescribed information about the Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of the remuneration of Directors and senior management. The Remuneration Report must also explain the relationship between the remuneration policy of the Board and the Company’s performance. The Remuneration Report is set out in the 2025 Annual Financial Report on page [9].
The Corporations Act requires that the Remuneration Report be submitted to Shareholders for adoption by a nonbinding resolution.
The Remuneration Report contains information regarding such matters (among others) as:
-
(i) the Board's policy for determining the nature and levels of remuneration of the Company's senior management personnel;
-
(ii) the relationship between the Board's remuneration policy and the Company's performance;
-
(iii) prescribed information regarding the remuneration paid to each member of the Company's key management personnel, including the amount of the remuneration paid to those personnel; and
-
(iv) where any element of the remuneration of a member of the key management personnel depended on the satisfaction of a performance condition, a summary of that performance condition and an explanation of why it was adopted in relation to the relevant personnel.
Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act provides that the Company is required to put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders.
Section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act provides that this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company. Of itself, a failure of Shareholders pass this will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements described in the respective Remuneration Report.
However, Sections 250U and 250Y, among others of the Corporations Act, give Shareholders the opportunity to remove the Board if the Remuneration Report receives a no vote of 25% or more at two consecutive Annual General Meetings ( Two Strikes Rule) .
Under the Two Strikes Rule, where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a no vote of 25% or more at two consecutive Annual General Meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second Annual General Meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the Managing Director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Director’s Report must stand for re-election ( Spill Resolution ).
In addition, if comments are made on the Remuneration Report at the AGM, the Company's Remuneration Report in respect of the following financial year will be required to include an explanation of the Board's proposed action in response to those comments or, if no action is proposed, the reasons why.
The Chairman will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Reports.
The Chairman will cast all available proxies in favour of this resolution. Shareholders may also choose to direct the Chairman to vote against this resolution or to abstain from voting.
Voting Exclusion Statement: In accordance with section 250R of the Corporations Act, a vote on this must not be cast by, or on behalf of, a member of the Company’s Key Management Personnel ( KMP ) whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report or a closely related party of a KMP, whether the votes are cast as a Shareholder, proxy or in any other capacity, and the Company will disregard any such vote.
However, the Company will not disregard a vote cast by a KMP or closely related party of a KMP if:
- (a) the person is acting as proxy appointed by writing that specifies how the proxy is to vote on the resolution, and the vote is not cast on behalf of a person who is otherwise excluded from voting on the resolution as described above; or

If you are a KMP or a closely related party of a KMP (or are acting on behalf of any such person) and purport to cast a vote that will be disregarded by the Company (as described above), you may commit an offence by breaching the voting restrictions that apply to you under the Corporations Act.

Resolution 3 – Approval of Proposed Issue of Shares to Service Providers
The Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 2,500,000 fully paid ordinary shares to service providers including advisers and technical consultants that may be retained by the Company in connection with the advancement of development and the financing of its Uley graphite project. The identity of the service providers is not known at this time however the Company would seek to only issue shares to service providers having a strategic longterm value to the Company.
No funds will be raised from this share issue. The shares will be issued as full or part payment for services rendered by advisers or technical consultants, in lieu of cash remuneration. There is no existing agreement for the issuance of shares with consultants.
The fully paid ordinary shares shall be issued at a price not less than a 10% discount to VWAP of the Company’s shares in the prior 5 trading days.
Further, any issue of fully paid ordinary shares to each of the Service Providers is conditional upon any applicable ASX waiver which may be required pursuant to Listing Rules 7.3. The fully paid ordinary shares will be required to be issued within 3 months after the AGM.
The Directors believe that this resolution is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour. In particular, the ability of the Company to issue new fully paid ordinary shares as an additional incentive to advisers as to better position the Company to pursue its interests in the prevailing market conditions. In the event that the resolution is not passed, the service providers will require payment which will be a drain on the Company’s funds.
Shares approved under this resolution will not be issued to Related Parties as defined by the Listing Rules.
The Chairman will cast all available proxies in favour of this resolution. Shareholders may also choose to direct the Chairman to vote against this resolution or to abstain from voting. Each Director recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.
Voting Exclusion Statement: The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of this Resolution by or on behalf of a person who is expected to participate in, or who will obtain a material benefit because of, the proposed issue (except a benefit solely by reason of being a holder of ordinary securities in the Company) or an associate of that person (or those persons).
However, the Company need not disregard a vote if it is cast in favour of the resolution by:
-
(a) a person or attorney as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the resolution in that way; or
-
(b) the Chair of the meeting as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction given to the Chair to vote on the resolution as the Chair decides; or
-
(c) a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:
-
the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting, on the resolution; and

Resolution 4 - Approval of Additional 10% Placement Capacity
The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to issue an additional 10% of its issued Shares (10% Placement Capacity) over a 12-month period under Listing Rule 7.1A. The formula for the 10% Placement Capacity is set out in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 and the approval period to which it relates (generally no more than 12 months) is set out in Listing Rule 7.1A.1 and detailed below.

If this resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue fully paid ordinary shares up to the combined 25% limit specified in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without Shareholder approval.
If this resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the 10% Placement Capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Shares without the Shareholders approval required by Listing Rule 7.1.
Maximum Number of Fully Paid Ordinary Shares that may be Issued
As at the date of the Notice, the Company has 350,008,387 Shares on issue. If this resolution is approved by Shareholders, the Company, could issue up to a further 35,000,838 Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A. The actual number of Shares that the Company can issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Shares in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2
Minimum Issue Price of Shares Issued
The minimum issue price of fully paid ordinary shares under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of the issue of the fully paid ordinary shares in accordance with the prescribed formula, i.e., the issue price of fully paid ordinary shares must not be less than 75% of the VWAP of the fully paid ordinary shares calculated over the 15 Trading Days during which trades in the Company’s fully paid ordinary shares were recorded immediately before:
-
(a) The agreed date on which the price at which the Shares are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(b) If the Shares are not issued within ten Trading Days of the referred to in (a) above, the date on which the Shares are issued.

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier of:
-
(a) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained; (b) the time and date of the next Annual General Meeting after the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained; and
-
(c) the date of the approval by Shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
Technical Information
The numerical information in this part is correct as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.
-
(a) Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.3A, the following additional information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Capacity. There is a risk that:
-
the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Shares than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the Shares in the same class on the issue date, which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Shares.
-
(b) 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 shares in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.
Page 6
==> picture [560 x 67] intentionally omitted <==
The table also shows:
-
two examples where variable 'A' has increased, by 50% and 100% respectively. Variable 'A' is based on the number of Shares the Company has on issue. The number of Shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a Shareholders’ meeting; and
-
two examples of where the issue price of Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.
| Number of shares on | 50% decrease in | Current Price | 100% increase in | |
|---|---|---|---|---|

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
- (i) The Company issues the maximum number of Shares available under the 10% Placement Facility.

-
(v) The table shows only the effect of issues of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A and no other issues of Equity Securities.
-
(vi) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares.
-
(vii) The issue price is $0.46, being the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 20 October 2025 (the last quoted price).

-
Consideration for the acquisition of services, assets or investments (including expenses associated with such acquisition) required for the development of the Company’s projects; and/or
-
Raise funds for the general working capital needs of the Company.
-
(d) The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Shares.
-
(e) 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 Shares and the number of Shares allotted to each will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to factors including, but not limited to, the following:
-
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;
-
the effect of the issue of the Shares on the control of the Company;

the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

Formula for Calculating the 10% Placement
The number of Shares which the Company may issue pursuant to this Resolution 4 in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 may be calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) - E
Where:
A is the number of shares on issue at the commencement of the Relevant Period (the 12-month period immediately preceding the date of issue or agreement):
-
i. plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the relevant period under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;
-
ii. plus the number of fully paid shares 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
-
iii. 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
-
iv. plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the relevant period;
-
v. less the number of fully paid ordinary shares cancelled in the relevant period.
D is 10%
E is the number of Shares 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 Shareholders under ASX Listing Rules 7.4.
Board Recommendation
The Directors believe that this resolution is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour. In particular, the ability of the Company to issue new Shares under the 10% Placement Capacity will enable the Company to issue Shares in circumstances where it might otherwise be subjected to the cost, delay and uncertainty of reverting to Shareholders for approval. The additional flexibility and speed to conduct capital raising will better position the Company to pursue its interests in the prevailing market conditions.
Voting Exclusion Statement: The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of the resolution by or on behalf of any person who is expected to participate in an issue of Shares under the 10% Placement Capacity or any person who may obtain a material benefit as a result of an issue of Shares under the 10% Placement Capacity (except a benefit solely by reason of being a holder of ordinary securities in the Company) or an associate of that person (or those persons).
However, the Company need not disregard a vote if:
-
(a) it is cast by a person as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with directions given to the proxy or attorney on the resolution in that way;
-
(b) it is cast by the Chair of the meeting as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the direction given to the to vote on the resolution as the Chair decides; or
-
(c) it is cast by a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:
-
the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that they are not excluded from voting, on the resolution; and
Page 8
==> picture [560 x 67] intentionally omitted <==
- the holder votes on the resolutions in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.
Resolutions 5(a), (b), (c), (d), (e): Approval of issue of securities under the Quantum Graphite Limited Option Plan to Directors and Company Secretary
These Resolutions 5(a), 5(b), 5(c), 5(d) and 5(e) seek Shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 10.14, and for all other purposes, for the issue of Options to each of the Directors and the Company Secretary under the Quantum Graphite Limited Option Plan ( Plan ).
Subject to Shareholder approval, the Company proposes to issue a total of up to 619,345 Options to the Directors and the Company Secretary under the terms of the Plan as follows:
-
(a) Up to 154,835 Options to be issued to Mr Sal Catalano, Director and Chief Executive Officer;
-
(b) Up to 154,835 Options to be issued to Mr Bruno Ruggiero, Director;
-
(c) Up to 103,225 Options to be issued to Mr David Trimboli, Director;
-
(d) Up to 103,225 Options to be issued to Mr Michael Wyer, Director; and
-
(e) Up to 103,225 Options to be issued to Ms. Rochelle Pattison, Company Secretary.
The relevant interests of the Directors and Company Secretary in Shares of the Company and the potential future voting power of each Director based on the proposed issue of Options in lieu of Directors fees are set out below:

| *These figures are based on the maximum number of Options that will be issued under Resolutions 5(a), 5(b), 5(c), 5(d) and 5(e) as it has | |||||
| been assumed that the floor issue price of $0.465 (46.5 cents) is the deemed issue price (rounded down to the nearest 5). |
The proposed issue of Options to the Directors and Company Secretary described above is to provide a form of remuneration in lieu of Director fees paid in cash for the period 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2026 and as a means for enhancing the alignment of interests between those persons and Shareholders generally.
The Plan is governed by the rules of the Quantum Graphite Limited Option Plan, the details of which are presented in the Explanatory Notes relating to Resolution 5, with a summary of terms set out in Schedule 1 to this Notice of Meeting.
Under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, Shareholder approval is required in order for a Director to be issued securities under an employee incentive plan. The issue of securities to a Company Secretary under an employee incentive plan does not expressly require Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, however such approval may be needed if the ASX forms the opinion that the relationship of the Company Secretary to the Company, or to the Directors, is such that the acquisition should be approved by Shareholders.
Accordingly, approval is sought for the proposed grant to the Directors and Company Secretary as described above. For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.15, the key terms of the proposed grant of Options to each Director and the Company Secretary are set out in Schedule 2.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 imposes a 15% cap on the number of equity securities that can be issued by the Company, subject to certain exceptions, without approval of Shareholders in any rolling 12-month period. However, the Company is permitted to issue securities which do not count towards the 15% cap if those securities are issued in reliance on an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or the issue is approved by Shareholders.
Page 9
==> picture [560 x 67] intentionally omitted <==
Resolutions 5(a), 5(b), 5(c), 5(d) and 5(e), if passed, will provide approval for this purpose in relation to both the Options and any Shares issued on exercise of those Options. If approval is given under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, the issue of such Options to the Directors and the Company Secretary will not count towards the Company’s capacity to issue securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 14).
If Shareholders do not approve Resolutions 5(a), 5(b), 5(c), 5(d) and 5(e), the proposed issue of Options to each of the Directors and the Company Secretary will not proceed.
The Company has determined that the proposed grant of Options under the Plan pursuant to Resolutions 5(a), 5(b), 5(c), 5(d) and 5(e) as part of the remuneration package for each Director and the Company Secretary will constitute the giving of reasonable remuneration for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
ASX Listing Rule 10.15 contains requirements as to the contents of a notice of meeting sent to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14 and the following information is included in these Explanatory Notes for that purpose:
-
5.1 The name of the persons to receive Options are Sal Catalano, Bruno Ruggiero, David Trimboli, Michael Wyer, and Rochelle Pattison (or their respective nominees).
-
5.2 Sal Catalano is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and he and each of Bruno Ruggiero, David Trimboli and Michael Wyer are Directors of the Company and therefore ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1 requires Shareholder approval for each of them to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme. Rochelle Pattison is the Company Secretary of the Company and, as noted above, Shareholder approval is not expressly required for the acquisition of securities under an employee incentive plan by the Company Secretary, unless the ASX forms the opinion that such acquisition should be approved by Shareholders.
-
5.3 The number of Options to be issued to each person under the Plan is as follows:
-
(a) Up to 154,835 Options to be issued to Mr. Sal Catalano, Director and Chief Executive Officer;

-
(d) Up to 103,225 Options to be issued to Mr. Michael Wyer, Director; and
-
(e) Up to 103,225 Options to be issued to Ms. Rochelle Pattison, Company Secretary.
-
5.4 The current total remuneration package for each Director to receive Options is as follows:
-
(a) Mr. Sal Catalano’s total remuneration package is a maximum of approximately $372,000, comprising:
-
Fixed remuneration and superannuation as Chief Executive Officer of $300,000; and
-
Options in lieu of Directors’ fees of up to $72,000 (assuming resolution 5(a) is passed).
-
-
(b) Mr. Bruno Ruggiero’s total remuneration package is a maximum of approximately $72,000, comprising:

-
(d) Mr. Michael Wyer’s total remuneration package is a maximum of approximately $288,000, comprising:
-
Options in lieu of Directors’ fees of up to $48,000 (assuming resolution 5(d) is passed); and
-
Contractor fees in the amount of $240,000.
-
-
(e) Ms. Rochelle Pattison’s total remuneration package is a maximum of approximately $148,000, comprising:
-
Options in lieu of Company Secretary fees of up to $48,000 (assuming resolution 5(e) is passed).
-
Contractor fees in the amount of $100,000.
-
Further information regarding the remuneration of each Director is set out in the Company’s Remuneration Report which forms part of the 2025 Annual Financial Report.
- 5.5 A summary of the material terms of the Options are included below in Schedule 2. The Options are being issued to provide a form of remuneration in lieu of Directors fees paid in cash for the period 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2026 and as a means for enhancing the alignment of interest between these persons and Shareholders generally. The number of Options proposed to be issued has been calculated by using a face value allocation methodology which divides the 2026 Director fees payable to each Director and the Company Secretary (being $72,000 for each of Sal Catalano and Bruno Ruggiero, and $48,000 for each of David Trimboli,
Page 10
==> picture [560 x 67] intentionally omitted <==
Michael Wyer, and Rochelle Pattison) by the price at which the Company’s shares were traded on the ASX on 20 October 2025 in the 5 trading days following the release of the Company’s FY25 annual results.
-
5.6 It is intended that the Options will be issued to each Director and the Company Secretary on or around 3 December 2025 subject to Shareholder approval. In any event, the Options will be issued no later than three years after the date of the AGM.
-
5.7 The Options will be issued to each Director and the Company Secretary (or their respective nominee) for nil cash consideration and no cash consideration will be payable upon the exercise of the Options and subsequent issue of Shares (if any). Accordingly, no funds will be raised from the issue or exercise of the Options.
-
5.8 A summary of the material terms of the Plan are included below in Schedule 1. The material terms of the options being issued pursuant to these resolutions are included below in Schedule 2.
-
5.9 No loan will be provided to any Director or the Company Secretary in relation to the Options to be issued under the Plan.
-
5.10 Details of any securities issued under the Plan will be published in the annual report of the Company relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. Any additional persons covered by ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the Plan after the resolution is approved and who were not named in the notice of meeting will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule.
-
5.11 Securities were approved for issuance pursuant to the Plan at the Annual General Meeting on
-
21 November 2024. These options have not been exercised at this time.
| Name | Securities Issued pursuant to resolutions passed | Securities Issued pursuant to resolutions passed |

RESOLUTION 6 - Approval of Proposed Issue of Fully Paid Ordinary Shares to Markets Nominees Pty Ltd for the provision of capital market services
6.1 Background
The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to issue up to 25,385,250 fully paid ordinary shares to Markets Nominees Pty Ltd an entity associated with Mr Sal Catalano for the provision of capital market services in connection with the raising of capital for the Uley 2 project.
This resolution is substantially the same as the resolutions passed at the General Meeting on 21 November 2024 and is required to be put to Shareholders again due to the ASX Listing Rule requirements that all the shares be issued within one month of the date of the approval by Shareholders. All shares were not issued within a month of the approval in November 2024 because:
-
(a) Not all conditions for the issue of all the shares could be met within this timeframe; and
-
(b) The Company did not seek a waiver due to variations to the financing structure being considered after the 2024 Annual General Meeting.
It is now anticipated that the successful conclusion of this financing is likely to involve a transaction that includes the Company’s joint venture partner, The Sunlands Energy Co. Pty Ltd and the downstream refining activities. Accordingly, the Company has sought and obtained changes from Markets Nominees Pty Ltd to the conditions applicable to the issue of shares it will receive in respect of the remaining milestones to be satisfied. These changes ensure that the capital market services provided to the Company extend to the revised transaction structure, i.e., the Uley 2 project and the downstream refining activities ( Revised Transaction ).
Page 13
==> picture [560 x 67] intentionally omitted <==
6.2 Number of Fully Paid Ordinary Shares to be issued
The number of fully paid ordinary shares payable to Markets Nominees Pty Ltd is conditional upon the occurrence of the specific capital markets milestones described below:
-
(a) Milestone A - the registration and/or approval of capital markets offering documentation or, in the alternative, the execution of binding terms sheets and/or offer letters in respect of the Revised Transaction; and
-
(b) Milestone B - financial close of the Revised Transaction.
For the purposes of this resolution the maximum number of fully paid ordinary shares that can be issued to Markets Nominees Pty Ltd is calculated by the following formula:
Capital Amount x Issue Price
Where:
Capital Amount means the funding requirement for the Uley 2 project being US$300,000,000 or such other amount determined by the Company.
Issue Price means the greater of $0.50 and the monthly VWAP for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the achievement of the relevant milestone.
The formula for determining the actual number of fully paid ordinary shares to be issued on the achievement of the relevant milestone shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:
( Capital Amount x Fee % )/ Issue Price
Where:
| Capital Amount | see above |
|---|---|
| Issue Price | see above |
| Fee % | means the fee percentage for each of the |
| milestones as specified in the followingtable. | |
| Milestone B | 1.25% |
| Milestone C | 1.50% |
For the purpose of illustration, the Company has assumed that future shares will be issued to Markets Nominees Pty Ltd at the minimum price of $0.50 per share which would result in the maximum number of Shares being issued as set out in the table below:
| the table below: | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Fee % | A$Fee | Maximum Number | |
| of Shares @$0.50 | |||
| Registration of offering or disclosure | 1.25% | $5,769,375 | 11,538,750 |
| documentation | |||
| Financial close of Uley 2 project funding | 1.50% | $6,923,250 | 13,846,500 |
| Total | 2.75% | $12,692,375 | 25,385,250 |
6.3 Note regarding Section 211
It is the view of Directors that the proposed issue of fully paid ordinary shares pursuant to these resolutions fall within the exception under Section 211 of the Corporations Act (reasonable remuneration) given the circumstances of the Company and the position held by Mr Sal Catalano. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is not being sought under section 208 of the Corporations Act, although Shareholder approval must be obtained pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11.
Page 14

6.4 Note regarding ASX Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 requires a listed Company to obtain Shareholder approval by ordinary resolution prior to the issue of securities to a related party of the Company. Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Shares to the Directors as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11.
Listing Rule 10.13 sets out a number of matters which must be included in a notice of meeting proposing an approval under Listing Rule 10.11. For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 6:
-
(a) the related parties are Mr Catalano and they are related parties by virtue of being a Director of the Company (Listing Rule 10.11.1);
-
(b) the maximum number of Shares to be issued by the Company will be determined by dividing the milestone payment amount by the prior five-day VWAP (subject to a floor price of $0.50) upon the occurrence of a milestone;
-
(c) if the resolution is passed, the Shares will be required to be issued within one month after the date of the AGM allotment may only occur upon the occurrence of each milestone provided that the milestone is satisfied within six months;
-
(d) any fractions of Shares resulting from the calculation will be rounded down to the nearest whole number;
-
(e) the Shares will be issued within five days of the milestone being achieved;
-
(g) a voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice of Meeting of which this Explanatory Statement forms part; and
-
(h) if a milestone has not been achieved within six (6) months the authorisation shall lapse (although the Directors may seek further approval from Shareholders to allow for shares to be issued upon satisfaction of milestones after that date).
Mr Catalano is an executive Director of the Company and, as such, ASX Listing Rule 10.13.8 requires disclosure of Mr Catalano’s existing remuneration.
Details of the current remuneration package for Mr Catalano is as follows:
| Base Payments | Director Fees | Total Remuneration | |
|---|---|---|---|
| (paid by issuance of shares) | |||
| Mr Catalano | $300,000 | $72,000 | $372,000 |
The Company’s Annual Report for any period during which the shares are issued to entities associated with Mr Catalano (or their nominees) shall disclose the details of the number of Shares that were issued to them, including the percentage of the Company’s issued capital represented by those Shares.
The relevant interests of the related parties in Shares of the Company and the potential future voting power of the related parties based on the issues of Shares to Markets Nominees Pty Ltd (or its Nominee) are set out below:

6.5 Note regarding ASX Listing Rule 10.13.6
Listing Rule 10.13.6 requires a listed Company to detail what other consideration the Company will receive in exchange for the issuance of the shares.
The Company will not receive any cash consideration or other consideration for the issuance of the shares other than the capital markets services being provided. Market Nominees Pty Ltd receives no other consideration for the services being provided.

SCHEDULE 1 - SUMMARY OF TERMS OF THE PLAN
| TERM | SUMMARY |
|---|---|
| Eligibility | The Board has the discretion to determine which employees, contractors, consultants, and officers of the Company, or such other persons, are eligible to participate in the Plan (Eligible Person). |
| Securities | The Plan allows for the Company to grant options to acquire fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (Options) to Eligible Persons. The Board has the discretion to set the terms and conditions on which it will offer Options under the Plan, including the number of Options offered, which will be set out in a participation letter (Participation Letter) issued to an Eligible Person. The Board may determine that the Options will be subject to performance, service, or other conditions which must be satisfied or waived before the Options vest (Vesting Conditions) and, if so, will specify those Vesting Conditions in the Participation Letter to an Eligible Person. Additionally, the Board may determine that Options will be subject to further conditions which must be satisfied or waived before vested Options may be exercised (Exercise Conditions). The Board may, at its discretion, by written notice to the relevant participant, amend, reduce or waive any Vesting Conditions and/or Exercise Conditions attaching to Options at any time, subject to applicable law and provided any such amendment does not materially prejudice the relevant participant’s rights in respect of an Option (unless the participant’s prior written consent has been obtained). |
| Issue Price | The grant of Options under the Plan may be subject to the payment of an issue price by the Eligible Person as determined by the Board, or otherwise Options may be granted at no cost to the Eligible Person. |
| Exercise Price | The exercise of Options may be subject to the payment of an exercise price by a participant, and any such exercise price will be specific to the Options granted to that participant and will be specified in a participant’s Participation Letter. |
| Vesting and exercise of Options | Options which have not lapsed under the Plan will vest if and when any applicable Vesting Conditions have been satisfied or waived by the Board. However, vested Options will not become exercisable until any applicable Exercise Conditions have been satisfied or waived by the Board. Following the valid exercise of a vested Option, the Company will issue such number of shares to the participant that relate to the Option being exercised (Resulting Shares). |
| Shares granted upon exercise of Options |
Resulting Shares issued on the exercise of Options will rank equally in all respects, and carry the same rights and entitlements, as other issued ordinary shares, including dividend and voting rights. |
| Expiry of Options | Options which have not been exercised by the date that is 6 years from the date of grant of the Options, or such other date determined by the Board and specified in a participant’s Participation Letter (Expiry Date), will lapse unless the Company determines otherwise. |
| Forfeiture / lapse of Options | Unless otherwise determined by the Company, an Option will lapse and be forfeited in certain circumstances, including: � where the participant voluntarily elects to surrender the Option; |
==> picture [560 x 67] intentionally omitted <==
| TERM | SUMMARY |
|---|---|
| � where the participant and the Company agree for the Option to be forfeited; � if a Trigger Event (as defined below) occurs in respect of a participant; or � where any Vesting Condition or Exercise Condition applicable to the Option is not met or becomes incapable of being satisfied. ATrigger Eventwill occur in respect of a participant where the participant: � ceases to be employed or engaged by a Group Entity; � suffers an insolvency event without the written approval of the Board; � disposes of, or purports to dispose of, any Options in breach of the Plan without the written approval of the Board; or � breaches any terms of the Plan. |
|
| Divided and voting entitlements | Options do not confer the right to receive dividends or to attend or vote at meetings of Shareholders. |
| Participation rights of Options | Options do not confer the right to participate in new issues of Shares or other securities in the Company. However, the Board may, in its absolute discretion (but subject to the ASX Listing Rules) vary the rules of the Plan in a way which neither disadvantages nor advantages each participant, in the event of a bonus issue or pro-rata issue to existing holders of shares or a reorganisation of capital. Further, if a reorganisation of shares occurs after the date of issue of an Option, the Options will be reorganised in a similar manner, and any applicable Exercise Price will be amended accordingly. |
| Restrictions on Disposal | Options may not be sold, transferred, granted as security or otherwise disposed of, without the prior approval of the Company, or unless required by the rules of the Plan. Participants must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging, or otherwise protecting the economic value derived by a participant from holding an Option. |
| Quotation | Options will not be quoted on the ASX unless otherwise determined by the Company. The Company will apply for official quotation of any Resulting Shares issued under the Plan upon exercise of Options, in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules. |
| Change of Control | If a change of control event occurs with respect to the Company, the Board may determine, in its discretion, whether to waive any Vesting Condition or Exercise Condition contingent on that change of control event occurring. Once notice of a change of control event has been given by the Company to a participant, a participant may elect to exercise their vested Options which are capable of being exercised, contingent on that change of control event occurring. Any Options which are unvested or which are not exercised at the time of a change of control event will be forfeited and expire, unless otherwise determined by the Board. |
| Employee Share Trust | The Company may establish an employee share trust for the purposes of the Plan. |
