EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report. The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.hannans.com . 2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT 2.1 General The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company. The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year. The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting. 2.2 Voting consequences

A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings. If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting. All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company. 2.3 Previous voting results At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting. 3. RESOLUTION 2 TO 3 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS 3.1 General

Listing Rule 14.4 and clause 14.2 of the Constitution provide that, other than a managing director, a director of an entity must not hold office (without reelection) past the third annual general meeting following the director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is the longer. However, where there is more than one managing director, only one is entitled to be exempt from this rotation requirement. • Jonathan Murray, who has served as a Non-Executive Director since 2010 and was last re-elected on 25 October 2018, retires by rotation and seeks reelection. • Damian Hicks, who has served as a Managing Director since 2007, became the Executive Director on 29 November 2016 and was elected on 17 October 2019, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

The full terms and conditions of the Related Party Options are set out in Schedule A.

The Directors, being Messrs Damian Hicks, Jonathan Murray, Markus Bachmann, Clay Gordon and Ms Amanda Scott, are all entitled to participate in the Plan.

Resolutions 4 to 8 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Related Party Options to the Related Parties.

4.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that 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:

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

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval, unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The grant of the Related Party Options constitutes the giving of a financial benefit and Messrs Damian Hicks, Jonathan Murray, Markus Bachmann, Clay Gordon and Ms Amanda Scott are Related Parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors of the Company.

As the Related Party Options are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue of the Related Party Options.

Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of Related Party Options to the Related Parties is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

4.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.14

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities:

10.14.1 a director of the entity;

10.14.2 an associate of a director of the entity; or

  • 10.14.3 a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.14.1 to 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by security holders.

The issue of Related Party Options to the Related Parties falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

Resolutions 4 to 8 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Related Party Options under and for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.14.

4.4 ASX Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 4 to 8 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Related Party Options to the Related Parties under the Plan within three years after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Related Party Options (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14), the issue of the Related Party Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 4 to 8 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Related Party Options and may need to find an alternative method to incentivise and motivate the Directors.

  • 4.5 Technical information required by section 219 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.15

Notes:

  • (k) the number of Related Party Options to be issued to each of the Related Parties has been determined based upon a consideration of:

  • Share-based payments of $1,852,458 being the theoretical value of the Related Party Options to be considered at the Meeting.

  • (i) current market standards and/or practices of other ASX listed companies of a similar size and stage of development to the Company;

  • (ii) the remuneration of the Related Parties; and

  • (iii) incentives to attract and retain the service of the Related Parties who have appropriate knowledge and expertise, while maintaining the Company’s cash reserves.

6

  • (o) if the maximum number of Related Party Options issued to the Related Parties are exercised, a total of 165,000,000 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 2,359,977,192 to 2,524,977,192 (assuming that no Shares are issued and no options vest or are exercised) with the dilution effect for the existing Shareholders set out below:
Related Party Relatedparty options Dilution
D Hicks 105,000,000 4.44%
J Murray 15,000,000 0.64%

A Scott 15,000,000 0.64%
TOTAL 165,000,000 7.00%
  • (p) the market price for Shares during the term of the Related Party Options would normally determine whether the Related Party Options are exercised. If, at any time any of the Related Party Options are exercised and the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the exercise price of the Related Party Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company;

  • (q) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice is set out below:

Last $0.036 18 October 2021
  • (r) the primary purpose of the grant of the Related Party Options to the Related Parties is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for the Related Parties to motivate and reward the performance of the Related Parties in their respective roles as Directors;

  • (s) each Director has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 4 to 8 on the basis that all of the Directors (or their nominees) are to be issued Related Party Options should Resolutions 4 to 8 be passed. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on Resolutions 4 to 8 of this Notice;

  • (t) the details of the Related Party Options will be published by the Company in its annual report together with a confirmation statement that Shareholder approval was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14;

  • (u) the Company shall seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of Shares under the Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained;

  • (v) in forming their recommendations, each Director considered the experience of each other Related Party, the existing and proposed contribution of each Related Party to the Company and the current market practices when determining the number of Related Party Options to be issued; and

  • (w) the Board is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 4 to 8.

5. RESOLUTION 9 – TRANSACTION WITH CRITICAL METALS LTD

5.1 Overview

The Company is proposing to enter into an agreement with Critical Metals Ltd (ACN 614 136 864) and its wholly owned subsidiary, LiB Recycling Pty Ltd (ACN 628 740 581), (together referred to as Critical Metals ) in connection with the commercialisation of licenced technology.

5.2 The Technology

ACN 630 589 507 Pty Ltd ( ACN 630 ), a wholly owned subsidiary of Neometals Limited (ASX: NMT) ( Neometals ), has developed a proprietary technology to safely recover several metals from spent and off-specification lithium-ion batteries ( Technology ). The Technology offers a unique and sustainable method for recovering valuable lithium, nickel, cobalt and other materials from off-specification and end-of-life electric vehicle and consumer electronic lithium-ion batteries. The Technology enables recovered metals to be refined and converted into a form that can be reused in the battery supply chain. The Technology has not been commercialised by Neometals or its partners thus far, but excellent progress is being made in that regard.

5.3 Licence Agreement

Critical Metals entered into an agreement with ACN 630 on 8 March 2019 whereby ACN 630 granted Critical Metals an exclusive licence ( Technology Licence ) to commercialise the Technology in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland ( Territory ), for an initial term of 25 years from the date of the agreement ( Licence Agreement ). The Licence enables Critical Metals to commercialise the Technology within the Territory and derive revenue from the sale of recovered nickel, cobalt, lithium, copper, iron, aluminium, manganese recovered from off-specification and end-of-life batteries.

ACN 630 may terminate the Licence Agreement if Critical Metals does not meet any one of the following performance hurdles by the relevant date:

Performance Hurdle Date
Critical Metals making a final investment decision in respect of the construction of an
initial plant for the processing or recycling of feedstock batteries using the Technology
(itself or inpartnershipwith a thirdparty) (Initial Plant),
Within 12 months of Neometals releasing the results a front-end

5.4 Licence Agreement

As announced on 9 September 2021 ( Announcement ), Hannans executed a Memorandum of Understanding with Critical Metals to commercialise the Licence ( Transaction ).

It is proposed that, subject to the Company funding certain commercialisation activities and making certain decisions within agreed timeframes, Hannans will be entitled to a 50% equity interest in each lithium-ion battery recycling plant developed by Hannans and Critical Metals.

The indicative material terms of the Transaction are anticipated to be as follows:

Exclusivity Hannans and Critical Metals will work together on an exclusive basis to maximise the value of the Licence for both parties, initially,
via an unincorporated joint venture. Under this arrangement, Critical Metals will also grant Hannans a co-right to utilise its rights to
the Technologyunder the Licence, for thePurpose (most likelyvia a sub-licence arrangement).
Hannans and Critical Metals will work together on an exclusive basis to maximise the value of the Licence for both parties, initially,
via an unincorporated joint venture. Under this arrangement, Critical Metals will also grant Hannans a co-right to utilise its rights to
the Technologyunder the Licence, for thePurpose (most likelyvia a sub-licence arrangement).
Initial Funding Hannans will manage and fund all tasks and activities in the Territory through to a final investment decision (FID) with respect to
the construction of each plant for the processing or recycling of feedstock batteries using the Technology. A plant may comprise
a Stage 1 shredding and sorting plant or a Stage 2 refining plant (each, aPlant). This may involve several FIDs for multiple Plants in
the Territory,potentiallyfor different clients/customers. It is Hannans’ decision alone whether to make apositive FID.
Task and Activities Hannans tasks and activities will include, but are not limited to:

securing sufficient feedstock to justify establishment
of each Plant;

completing location studies for each Plant;

completing social and environmental assessments for
each Plant;

obtaining the social licence to operate each Plant;

obtaining the environmental, chemical, and building
permits to operate each Plant;

understanding the market for the products from each Plant;

assessing the financial feasibility of establishing each Plant;

arranging debt and equity finance for each Plant;

considering final investment decisions; and

establishing and maintaining a brand and corporate identity in
the Territory.
FID If Hannans makes a FID and enters a binding engineering, procurement, and construction agreement for a Plant, Hannans will be
entitled to a 50% interest in the Plant and Critical Metals will be required to either (1) co-contribute to all future construction costs
of the new Plant (all capital and operating costs post FID), in which case, each party would have a 50% equity interest in the Plant,
or (2) its equity interest in the Plant will be diluted pro-rata to its relative funding contribution. The final structure by which such
ventures will be delivered will be dependent on tax and cost considerations at the time.
Ongoing Funding To be able to make an FID, Hannans will need to have secured enough feedstock to justify the economics of a Plant and obtained
the required permits to operate the Plant. Under the proposed joint venture arrangement, the costs of permitting and sourcing
and marketing the business in the Territory will always be borne by Hannans (i.e., Hannans will fund all activities up to each FID for
a given Plant, at which point, Critical Metals will have the option to contribute or dilute).
For the avoidance of doubt, Critical Metals will not have any obligation to co-contribute to the construction of a given Plant.
However, should it choose not to contribute, it will have no equity interest in that Plant. This will not impact Hannans’ rights with
respect to the use of the Technologyat that Plant.
and Dilution
Relationships Critical Metals has been actively seeking to establish relationships with potential providers of battery feedstock and engineering,
procurement, and construction firms. Critical Metals will pass to Hannans the benefit of these relationships, discussions and
initiatives and responsibilityfor the carriage of these matters will be the sole responsibilityof Hannans.
Conditions This Transaction and associated substantive agreements are conditional on receiving written approvals and consents from:

Hannans shareholders, as required; and

Critical Metals shareholders, as required.
This Transaction and associated substantive agreements are conditional on Hannans completing a capital raising of not less than
AUD5M before 31 December 2021.

Although the Company does not require Shareholder approval under the Corporations Act or the Constitution to undertake the Transaction, the Company has elected to seek approval from Shareholders to proceed with the transaction in the interests of transparency and good corporate governance.

In addition, and as set out in the Announcement, the Company has advised ASX that it proposes to carry out LiB recycling business development activities and undertake permitting processes at an estimated cost of $1.5 Million ( Feasibility Stage ).

ASX has confirmed that undertaking the Feasibility Stage of the LiB recycling project does not constitute a change in the nature and scale of Hannans activities in terms of Listing Rule 11.1 subject to the following conditions:

  • (a) Hannans must continue to spend funds on its existing exploration projects in accordance with the proposed expenditure table prepared by Hannans and provided to ASX as part of its submission regarding the application of Chapter 11 to this transaction on 27 August 2021;

  • (b) Hannans must disclose in each quarterly activities report until 31 March 2024, the proportion of expenditure incurred in relation to exploration and evaluation on its exploration projects and LiB recycling project; and

  • (c) Hannans must disclose as separate line items in each quarterly cashflow report until 31 March 2024, expenditure incurred in relation to the exploration and evaluation expenditure on its existing exploration assets and the LiB recycling project.

ASX have confirmed its present position that if Hannans proceeds beyond the Feasibility Stage of the LiB recycling project (or incurs expenditure more than the $1.5 Million budgeted in relation to the Feasibility Stage) it will constitute a change in the nature and scale of Hannans activities in terms of Listing Rule 11.1. If that occurs, Hannans will be required under Listing Rule 11.1.3 to comply with all the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules before it proceeds beyond the Feasibility Stage or incurs expenditure more than the $1.5 Million budgeted on the Feasibility Stage of the LiB recycling project.

5.5 Background to the relevant parties

Critical Metals

Critical Metals was incorporated on 9 August 2016 and is focussed on delivering the vanadium recovery project ( VRP ) in Pori, Finland. A recently completed preliminary feasibility study for the VRP justified proceeding to a feasibility study. If a positive final investment decision is made late 2022 to proceed to construction, Critical Metals will be required to fund its equity share of the project, expected to be circa USD100M.

The directors of Critical Metals Ltd are:

  • (a) Mr Jonathan Murray – Non-Executive Chairman (residing in Australia);

  • (b) Mr Damian Hicks – Executive Director (residing in Australia);

  • (c) Mr Markus Bachmann – Non-Executive Director (residing in Switzerland);

(d) Ms Kris Gram - Non-Executive Director (residing in Norway);

  • (e) Mr Olof Forslund – Non-Executive Director (residing in Sweden); and

  • (f) Mr Darren Townsend – Non-Executive Director (residing in Australia).

Neometals

Neometals is the largest shareholder in Hannans (31.1%) and Critical Metals (19.05%). ACN 630 was incorporated on 13 December 2018 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Neometals.

The Company notes that Neometals has elected to abstain from voting on this Resolution.

5.6 Focus for the Company

Hannans was incorporated on 11 March 2002 and has been actively engaged in minerals exploration since listing on ASX on 5 December 2003 (ASX:HNR). Hannans is focussed on greenfields nickel and copper-gold exploration at its Forrestania, Fraser Range and Moogie projects in Western Australia.

5.7 Board Recommendation

Directors Messrs Jonathan Murray, Damian Hicks and Markus Bachmann have elected not to make a recommendation to Shareholders in respect of the Transaction due to their common directorship of Critical Metals. Although these Directors abstain from making a recommendation to Shareholders, they are supportive of proceeding with the Transaction.

Directors, Clay Gordon and Amanda Scott (together, the Independent Directors ) have assessed the advantages and disadvantages of the Transaction and have formed the view that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

The Independent Directors recommend that you vote in favour of the Transaction for the following reasons:

  • (a) The competition to establish lithium-ion battery recycling facilities in the Nordic region is intense with many companies competing for access to the limited supply of lithium-ion batteries available for recycling. The Independent Directors consider that the Transaction will increase potential for value to be created via successful commercialisation of the Technology.

  • (b) The Transaction will allow Hannans to be responsible for funding commercialisation of the lithium-ion battery activities. As noted in Section 2.4 above, Hannans will manage and fund all tasks and activities in respect of each Plant through to an FID. If a positive FID is made, Critical Metals may elect to participate in ongoing funding of each Plant or dilute.

6. RESOLUTION 10 – APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE

6.1 General

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

However, under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 7.1A Mandate ).

An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.

Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 10 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 10 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A, and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

6.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution:

(a) Period for which the 7.1A Mandate is valid

The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;

  • (ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and

  • (iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).

(b) Minimum Price

Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • (i) 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

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 ASX trading days of the date in section 7.2(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

9

(c) Use of funds raised under the 7.1A Mandate

The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate for the following purposes:

  • (i) continued exploration expenditure on the Company’s current Projects;

  • (ii) continued business development expenditure on lithium-ion battery recycling opportunities;

  • (iii) consideration and acquisition of new projects (including expenses associated with such an acquisition);

  • (iv) administration; and

  • (v) general working capital.

(d) Risk of economic and voting dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 10 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A Mandate, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at .

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 7.1A Mandate.

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table uses the following assumptions:

  1. there are currently 2,359,977,192 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting;

  2. the issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on ;

  3. the Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate;

  4. the Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;

  5. the issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities;

  6. the calculations above do not show the dilution that any one Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances;

  7. this table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;

  8. 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%; and

  9. the table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A Mandate, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

(i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

(e) Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A Mandate have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 7.1A Mandate, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

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

  • (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

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

(f) Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 30 November 2020 ( Previous Approval ). During the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 26 November 2020, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval.

6.3 Voting Exclusion

As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, a voting exclusion statement is not included in this Notice.

SCHEDULE B – VALUATION AND METHOLDOLOGY OF RELATED PARTY OPTIONS

The Related Party Options to be issued to the Related Parties pursuant to Resolutions 4 to 8 have been independently valued.

Using the Black & Scholes option model and based on the assumptions set out below, the Related Party Options were ascribed the following value:

A Scott (Resolution 8) $56,135 $56,135 $56,135 $168,405

Notes:

The valuation noted above is not necessarily the market price that the Related Party Options could be traded at and is not automatically the market price for taxation purposes.

  1. The deemed exercise price will be the volume weighted average sale price as stipulated by the Related Party Options terms and conditions set out in Schedule A PLUS a premium of 50%. Based on historical and current market trends, the Company has taken the assumption that the current market price + 50% premium is the best estimate of the exercise price.

  2. A risk-free rate used for the purpose of the analysis is the five year Australian Government bond rate as at 16 September 2021 being 0.62%;

  3. The expected volatility reflects the actual volatility since listing on ASX. This may not necessarily be the actual outcome.

  4. The options to be issued have restricted marketability as they cannot be traded on an active market. Therefore, a discount of 50% has been applied to the valuation to reflect the value of the options and the non-marketable nature of the options.

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.
