3. Background to Resolutions 1 to 3 (inclusive) and 8
- 3.1
Placement
On 2 March 2026, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments for a twotranche placement to raise $3.1 million (before costs) via the issue of 206,666,667 Shares ( Placement Shares ) at an issue price of $0.015 per Placement Share ( Placement ).
The Placement is comprised of two tranches as follows:
-
(a) Tranche 1 : 75,000,000 Placement Shares to professional and sophisticated investors unrelated to the Company ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ), which were issued on 9 March 2026, comprising of:
-
(i) 47,334,364 Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1 (the subject of Resolution 1(a)); and
-
(ii) 27,665,636 Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1A (the subject of Resolution 1(b)); and
-
(b) Tranche 2 : the proposed issue of up to 131,666,667 Placement Shares ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ) as follows:
-
(i) up to 110,666,667 Placement Shares to professional and sophisticated investors unrelated to the Company (the subject of Resolution 2); and
-
(ii) up to 21,000,000 Placement Shares to the Directors (or their respective nominees) (the subject of Resolution 3(a) to (d) (inclusive)) ( Director Placement Shares ).
The Company engaged Yelverton Capital Pty Ltd as lead manager to the Placement ( Lead Manager ). As partial consideration for the provision of lead managerial services in connection with the Placement, the Lead Manager (or its nominees) will be issued 30,000,000 unquoted Options, exercisable at $0.025 each, expiring on the date that is 3 years from the date of issue ( Lead Manager Options ) (the subject of Resolution 8). A summary of the Lead Manager Mandate is set out in Section 3.2 below.
3.2
Summary of Lead Manager Mandate
The Company entered into a mandate with the Lead Manager for the provision of lead managerial services, including the coordination and management of the Placement ( Lead Manager Mandate ).
Under the Lead Manager Mandate, the Company has agreed to pay the following fees to the Lead Manager as consideration for its services:
-
(a) a management fee of 2% of the gross amount raised under the Placement;
-
(b) a selling fee of 4% of the gross amount raised under the Placement; and
-
(c) subject to shareholder approval, the Lead Manager Options.
The Lead Manager Mandate contains additional provisions, including warranties and
Page 9
indemnities in respect of the Company, which are considered standard for agreements of this nature.
4. Resolution 1(a) and (b) – Ratification of prior issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares
4.1 General
The background to the Placement, including the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares is set out in Section 3.1 above.
Resolution 1(a) and (b) seek the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
4.2 Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4
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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase its 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company obtained this approval at its annual general meeting held on 20 November 2025.
The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company’s combined 25% placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
This reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
Listing Rule 7.4 provides an exception to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. It provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities after it has been made or agreed to be made pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 1(a) and (b) will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rules 7.1 and the 10% additional placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1A, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 1(a) is passed, 47,334,364 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue or agree to issue without Shareholder approval over the 12month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 1(a) is not passed, 47,334,364 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will continue to be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior
Page 10
Shareholder approval, to the extent of 47,334,364 Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the issue of those Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
If Resolution 1(b) is passed, 27,665,636 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue or agree to issue without Shareholder approval over the 12month period following the issue date (assuming the Company's approval under Listing Rule 7.1A remains in force for this period).
If Resolution 1(b) is not passed, 27,665,636 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will continue to be included in calculating the Company’s 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 27,665,636 Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the issue of those Tranche 1 Placement Shares (assuming the Company’s approval under Listing Rule 7.1A remains in force in this period).
4.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the ratification of the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares:
- (a) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to a range of new and existing professional and sophisticated investors ( Tranche 1 Placement Participants ), none of whom are a related party or, other than as set out below, a Material Investor of the Company. The Tranche 1 Placement Participants were identified through a bookbuild process, which involved the Lead Manager seeking expressions of interest to participate in the Placement from new and existing contacts of the Company and clients of the Lead Manager.
In accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company advises that:
-
(i) Tom Bahen, an associate of the Lead Manager, was indirectly issued 10,800,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares which represented more than 1% of the Company’s issued capital at the time of the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares; and
-
(ii) Daniel Bahen, an associate of the Lead Manager, was indirectly issued 8,400,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares which represented more than 1% of the Company’s issued capital at the time of the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
-
(b) A total of 75,000,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued as follows:
-
(i) 47,334,364 Tranche 1 Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(ii) 27,665,636 Tranche 1 Placement Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A.
-
(c) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue.
-
(d) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued on 9 March 2026.
-
(e) The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.015 each.
Page 11
-
(f) The proceeds from the Placement are intended to be applied towards advancing the Company’s 100% owned Telfer South Gold-Copper Project, the Crackerbox Gold Project (Murchison Gold Field) and general working capital.
-
(g) There are no other material terms to the agreement for the subscription of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
-
(h) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
4.4 Additional information
Resolution 1(a) and (b) are each separate ordinary resolutions.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1(a) and (b).
5. Resolution 2 – Approval to issue Tranche 2 Placement Shares
5.1 General
The background to the Placement, including the proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares is set out in Section 3.1 above.
Resolution 2 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.
5.2
Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 4.2 above.
The proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 2 will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of up to 131,666,667 Tranche 2 Placement Shares and raise up to $1,975,000 (before costs). In addition, the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of up to 131,666,667 Tranche 2 Placement Shares and will not be able to raise the additional $1,975,000 (before costs) from the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.

-
(g) There are no other material terms to the agreement for the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.

5.4 Additional information

6. Resolution 3(a) to (d) (inclusive) – Approval to issue Director Placement Shares
6.1 General
The background to the Placement, including the proposed issue of Director Placement Shares is set out in Section 3.1 above.
Subject to the receipt of Shareholder approval, each of the Directors wish to participate in the Placement to the extent of subscribing for up to an aggregate 21,000,000 Director Placement Shares to raise $315,000 (before costs) in the following proportions:
Page 13
| Director | Amount committed to the Placement ($) |
Director Placement Shares |
|---|---|---|
| David Lenigas_(Executive_ Chairman) |
$105,000 | 7,000,000 |
| Blair Sergeant_(Non- _Executive Director) |
$150,000 | 10,000,000 |
| Michael Griffiths_(Non- _Executive Director) |
$15,000 | 1,000,000 |
| Donald Strang_(Non- _Executive Director) |
$45,000 | 3,000,000 |
| TOTAL | $315,000 | 21,000,000 |
Resolution 3(a) to (d) (inclusive) seek the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the Director Placement Shares to the Directors (or their respective nominees).
6.2 Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to any of the following persons without the approval of Shareholders:
-
(a) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);
-
(b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (30%+) in the company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);
-
(c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (10%+) in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so (Listing Rule 10.11.3);
-
(d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or
-
(e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 or 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5).
The Directors are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors of the Company and therefore fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1.
Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is therefore required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Board that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Placement Shares as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of these Director Placement Shares to the Directors (or their respective nominees) will not be included in the Company’s 15% placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
Page 14
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 3(a) to (d) (inclusive) will be to allow the Company to issue the Director Placement Shares to the Directors (or their respective nominees), raising $315,000 (before costs).
If Resolution 3(a) to (d) (inclusive) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Placement Shares to the Directors (or their respective nominees) and the Company will not receive the $315,000 (before costs) committed by the Directors. As noted in Section 5.3(a) above, Resolution 2 includes the number of Placement Shares proposed to be issued to the Directors (or their respective nominees) under Resolution 3(a) to (d) (inclusive). In the event Shareholders do not pass Resolution 3(a) to (d) (inclusive) and Resolution 2 is passed, the Company intends to seek commitments from unrelated parties to subscribe for up to an equivalent number of Tranche 2 Placement Shares as the Director Placement Shares, such that the Company is able to raise the $315,000 (before costs).
Resolution 3(a) to (d) (inclusive) are not conditional on each other, and Shareholders may approve one or all of these Resolutions (in which case, the Director Placement Shares the subject of the approved Resolution(s) will be issued), even though Shareholders have not approved all of these Resolutions.
6.3
Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares:
-
(a) The Director Placement Shares will be issued to the Directors (or their respective nominees), in the proportions set out in Section 6.1.
-
(b) The Directors fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being Directors of the Company. In the event the Director Placement Shares are issued to a nominee of the Directors, that nominee will fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.4.
-
(c) A maximum of 21,000,000 Director Placement Shares will be issued to the Directors (or their respective nominees), in the proportions set out in Section 6.1.
-
(d) The Director Placement Shares will be fully paid and rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.
-
(e) The Director Placement Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting.
-
(f) The Director Placement Shares will be issued at a price of $0.015 each, being the same as those Placement Shares issued to unrelated party participants in the Placement.
-
(g) A summary of the intended use of funds raised from the Placement is set out in Section 4.3(f) above.
-
(h) The proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares is not intended to remunerate or incentivise the Directors.
-
(i) There are no other material terms to the proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares.
-
(j) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

6.4 Section 195 of the Corporations Act
Section 195(1) of the Corporations Act prohibits the director of a public company who has a material personal interest in a matter that is being considered at a meeting of directors from being present while the matter is being considered at the meeting or voting on the matter. If there is not a quorum of directors who are eligible to vote on a matter because of the operation of section 195(1) of the Corporations Act, one or more directors may call a general meeting and the general meeting may deal with the matter.
All of the Directors have a personal interest in the outcome of each of their respective Resolutions under Resolution 3(a) to (d) (inclusive) and have exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put the issue of the Director Placement Shares to the Shareholders to resolve.
6.5
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:
-
(a) obtain Shareholder approval 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 proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company.
The Board considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Director Placement Shares because the Director Placement Shares will be issued on the same terms as those Placement Shares issued to unrelated party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
6.6
Additional information
Resolution 3(a) to (d) (inclusive) are each separate ordinary resolutions.
The Board declines to make a recommendation in relation to Resolution 3(a) to (d) (inclusive) due to each of the Directors’ personal interests in the outcome of the Resolutions.
Page 16
7. Resolution 4(a) to (d) (inclusive) and Resolution 5(a) to (d) (inclusive) – Approval to issue Director Incentive Securities
7.1 General
The Company is proposing, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue up to 32,000,000 Incentive Performance Rights and 60,000,000 Incentive Options (together, the Director Incentive Securities ) to the Directors (or their respective nominees) as follows:
| Incentive Performance Rights | Incentive Performance Rights | Incentive Performance Rights | Incentive Performance Rights | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tranche | Number of Incentive Performance Rights | |||
| David Lenigas (Executive Chairman) |
Blair Sergeant (Non-Executive Director) |

| Incentive Options Subtotal |

| Total Director Incentive Securities |
92,000,000 |
The Incentive Performance Rights and Incentive Options will be subject to the terms and conditions in Schedule 2 and Schedule 3, respectively.
The Board believes that the issue of these Director Incentive Securities will align the interests of each Director with those of the Company and its Shareholders. In addition, the Board also believes that incentivising with Performance Rights and Options is a prudent means of conserving the Company’s available cash reserves. The Board believes it is important to offer
Page 17
these Director Incentive Securities to continue to attract and maintain highly experienced and qualified Board members in a competitive market.
Subject to the terms and conditions in Schedule 2, the Incentive Performance Rights will vest as follows:
| Tranche | Vesting Condition | Expiry Date |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The Company’s Shares achieving a 20-day VWAP of at least $0.05. |
5 years from the date of issue. |
| 2 | The Company’s Shares achieving a 20-day VWAP of at least $0.10. |
|
| 3 | The Company’s Shares achieving a 20-day VWAP of at least $0.15. |
Subject to the terms and condition in Schedule 3, the Incentive Options will be exercisable at $0.025 each and expire 3 years from the date of issue. Resolution 4(a) to (d) (inclusive) seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 and sections 195(4) and 208 of the Corporations Act for the issue of up to 32,000,000 Incentive Performance Rights to the Directors (or their respective nominees).
Resolution 5(a) to (d) (inclusive) seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 and sections 195(4) and 208 of the Corporations Act for the issue of up to 60,000,000 Incentive Options to the Directors (or their respective nominees).
7.2 Listing Rule 10.11
A summary of Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in Section 6.2 above.
The Directors are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors of the Company and therefore fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1.
Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is therefore required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Board that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 4(a) to (d) (inclusive) and Resolution 5(a) to (d) (inclusive) will be to allow the Company to issue the Director Incentive Securities to the Directors (or their respective nominees) as part of their remuneration package and in the proportions listed above.
If Resolution 4(a) to (d) (inclusive) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights to the Directors (or their respective nominees) and the Company will need to consider other alternative commercial means to incentivise the Directors, including by the payment of cash, subject to the requirements of the Constitution, Corporations Act and Listing Rules.
If Resolution 5(a) to (d) (inclusive) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Options to the Directors (or their respective nominees) and the Company will need to consider other alternative commercial means to incentivise the Directors,
Page 18
including by the payment of cash, subject to the requirements of the Constitution, Corporations Act and Listing Rules.
Resolution 4(a) to (d) (inclusive) and Resolution 5(a) to (d) (inclusive) are not inter-conditional and Shareholders may approve any or all of those Resolutions (in which case, the Director Incentive Securities, the subject of the relevant Resolution(s) will be issued), even though Shareholders have not approved all of these Resolutions.

-
(i) The Company is issuing the Director Incentive Securities as a cost effective, non-cash measure of compensating the Directors. The Board considers that Performance Rights, and Options, rather than Shares, are an appropriate form of incentive on the basis that:
-
(i) the Director Incentive Securities are designed to attract, retain and reward the Directors for the achievement of share price growth and creation of Shareholder value for the Company. The issue of the Director Incentive Securities will therefore further align the interests of the Directors with Shareholders;
-
(ii) Shareholders can readily ascertain and understand the vesting conditions which are required to be satisfied for the Incentive Performance Rights to vest and the number of Shares to which they relate (i.e. each Performance Right is a right to be issued one Share upon the satisfaction of the vesting conditions);
-
(iii) the Directors will only obtain the value of the Incentive Performance Rights and be able to exercise the Incentive Performance Rights into Shares upon satisfaction of the vesting conditions; and
-
(iv) the issue of Director Incentive Securities instead of cash is a prudent means of rewarding and incentivising the Directors whilst conserving the Company's available cash reserves.
-
(j) The Director Incentive Securities are being issued as an incentive component to the Directors’ remuneration packages. The Incentive Performance Rights will be issued for nil cash consideration, and the Incentive Options will be issued for a nominal issue price of $0.00001 each. Nominal funds received from the issue of the Incentive Options will be allocated towards general working capital.
-
(k) There are no other material terms to the proposed issue of the Director Incentive Securities.
-
(l) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
7.4 Section 195 of the Corporations Act
A summary of section 195(1) of the Corporations Act is set out in Section 6.4 above.
All of the Directors have a personal interest in the outcome of each of their respective Resolutions under Resolution 4(a) to (d) (inclusive) and Resolution 5(a) to (d) (inclusive) and have exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put the issue of the Director Incentive Securities to the Shareholders to resolve.
7.5 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is set out in Section 6.5 above.
The proposed issue of the Director Incentive Securities constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company.
Given the personal interests of all the Directors in the outcome of Resolution 4(a) to (d) (inclusive) and Resolution 5(a) to (d) (inclusive), the Board is seeking Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act in respect of the issue of the Director Incentive Securities.
Page 21
7.6 Information required by Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Pursuant to and in accordance with section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Director Incentive Securities:
(a) Identity of the related parties to whom Resolution 4(a) to (d) (inclusive) and Resolution 5(a) to (d) (inclusive) permit financial benefits to be given
Refer to Section 7.1.
(b) Nature of the financial benefit
Resolution 4(a) to (d) (inclusive) and Resolution 5(a) to (d) (inclusive) seek Shareholder approval to allow the Company to issue the Director Incentive Securities in the amount specified in Section 7.1 to the Directors (or their respective nominees).
The Incentive Performance Rights and Incentive Options are to be issued in accordance with the terms and conditions as detailed in Schedule 2 and Schedule 3, respectively.
The Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Director Incentive Securities will be fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares and will rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares. The Company will apply for official quotation of the Shares on ASX.
(c) Board recommendations
Given the personal interests of the Directors in the outcome of these Resolutions, the Board declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 4(a) to (d) (inclusive) and Resolution 5(a) to (d) (inclusive).
(d) Valuation of financial benefit
Refer to Section 7.3(g), Schedule 4 and Schedule 5.
(e) Remuneration of Directors
Refer to Section 7.3(d).
Page 22
(f) Existing relevant interest of Directors
As at the date of this Notice, the Directors hold the following relevant interests in Equity Securities of the Company:
| Director | Shares(1) | Performance Rights |
Options |
|---|---|---|---|
| David Lenigas_(Executive Chairman)_ | 5,045,454 | - | 5,666,666 |
| Blair Sergeant (Non-Executive Director) |
4,658,251 | 1,400,000 | 7,553,379 |
| Michael Griffiths (Non-Executive Director) |
- | - | 4,000,000 |
| Donald Strang (Non-Executive Director) |
1,663,636 | - | 6,554,545 |
Note:
(1) Subject to Resolution 3(a) to (d) (inclusive) being passed, the Directors will be issued the Director Placement Shares in the proportions set out in Section 6.1 above.
Assuming that each of the resolutions which form part of Resolution 4 and Resolution 5 are approved by Shareholders, all of the Director Incentive Securities are issued, vested and exercised into Shares, and no other Equity Securities are issued or exercised (including any existing convertible Securities held by the Directors as at the date of this Notice), the interests of each of the Directors in the Company would (based on 390,562,433 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice) be as follows:
| Director | Interest in the Share capital of the Company |
|---|---|
| David Lenigas_(Executive Chairman)_ | 4.78% |
| Blair Sergeant_(Non-Executive Director)_ | 4.70% |
| Michael Griffiths (Non-Executive Director) |
7.87% |
| Donald Strang_(Non-Executive Director)_ | 4.07% |
The Directors’ actual interests in the Company at the date the Director Incentive Securities are exercised into Shares will depend on the extent that additional Shares are issued by the Company, such as the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.
(g) Dilution
The issue of these Director Incentive Securities will have a diluting effect on the percentage interest of existing Shareholders' holdings if these Director Incentive Securities are converted to Shares. The potential dilution if all of these Director Incentive Securities are issued and are exercised into Shares is 19.06%. This figure assumes the
Page 23
current Share capital structure as at the date of this Notice and that no Shares are issued other than the Shares issued on conversion of the Director Incentive Securities
The exercise of all of the Director Incentive Securities will result in a total dilution of all other Shareholders' holdings of 14.44% on a fully diluted basis (assuming that all other convertible Securities currently on issue are exercised and converted to Shares). The actual dilution will depend on the extent that additional Shares are issued by the Company.
(h) Trading history
The highest and lowest closing market sale price of the Shares on ASX during the 12 months prior to the date of this Notice were:
Highest: $0.024 per Share on 6 October 2025
Lowest: $0.011 per Share on 11 and 30 June 2025
The latest available closing market sale price of the Shares on ASX prior to the date of this Notice was $0.017 per Share on 25 March 2026.
(i) Corporate governance
David Lenigas is the Executive Chairman of the Company and therefore the Board (other than Mr Lenigas) believes that the grant of the Director Incentive Securities to Mr Lenigas is in line with Recommendation 8.2 of the 4th Edition of the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Corporate ( Recommendations ).
The Board acknowledges that the grant of the Incentive Performance Rights to Blair Sergeant, Michael Griffiths and Donald Strang (together, the Non-Executive Directors ) is contrary to the guidelines in Recommendation 8.2 of the Recommendations, which provides that non-executive directors should not receive performance-based remuneration as it may lead to bias in their decision-making and compromise their objectivity. However, the Board considers it reasonable in the circumstances to offer the Incentive Performance Rights to the Directors for the reasons provided in Section 7.3(i) above.
The Board notes that the grant of the Incentive Options to the Non-Executive Directors is in line with Recommendation 8.2 of the Recommendations and that the grant does not affect the independence of the Non-Executive Directors as there are no performance-based milestones attaching to those Incentive Options.
(j)
Taxation consequences
There are no taxation consequences for the Company arising from the issue of the Director Incentive Securities (including fringe benefits tax).
(k)
Other information
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 Resolution 4(a) to (d) (inclusive) and Resolution 5(a) to (d) (inclusive).
Page 24
7.7 Additional information
Resolution 4(a) to (d) (inclusive) and Resolution 5(a) to (d) (inclusive) are each separate ordinary resolutions.

Page 25
The proposed issue of the Management and Consultant Incentive Securities does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights to certain employees and consultants of the Company (or their respective nominees). In addition, the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights to certain employees and consultants of the Company (or their respective nominees) and the Company will need to consider other alternative commercial means to incentivise the proposed recipients, including by the payment of cash, subject to the requirements of the Constitution, Corporations Act and Listing Rules.

Any directed proxies that are not voted on a poll at the Meeting will default to the Chair of the Meeting, who is required to vote these proxies as directed. Any undirected proxies that default to the Chair of the Meeting will be voted according to the instructions set out in this Proxy Voting Form, including where the Resolutions are connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of Key Management Personnel. STEP 2 - VOTES ON ITEMS OF BUSINESS You may direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid. APPOINTMENT OF SECOND PROXY
You may appoint up to two proxies. If you appoint two proxies, you should complete two separate Proxy Voting Forms and specify the percentage or number each proxy may exercise. If you do not specify a percentage or number, each proxy may exercise half the votes. You must return both Proxy Voting Forms together. If you require an additional Proxy Voting Form, contact Automic Registry Services.
