Explanatory Statement

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company to be held at HLB Mann Judd, Level 1, 169 Fullarton Road, Dulwich SA 5065 on Thursday, 2 October 2025 at 4:00pm (ACST).

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolution in the Notice of Meeting.

Resolution 1 – Approval to Change Company Name

Background

The Company proposes to change its name from ‘Duxton Water Limited’ to ‘Rivco Australia Limited’. Following the approval of the internalisaton of the Company’s management team at the Annual General Meeting held on Friday, 30 May 2025, the Board believes that the new name better aligns with the Company’s long-term strategy, vision, and independence as a dedicated Australian water business. It also provides clear differentiation from the Company’s former external management structure.

Section 157 of the Corporations Act

Section 157 of the Corporations Act requires shareholders to approve the change of name of the Company by passing a special resolution to adopt the new name. If shareholders approve the change of name, it will be effective from the date that the Australian Securities and Investments Commission updates its register to reflect the new name, which is intended to be as soon as practicable. The name ‘Rivco Australia Limited’ has been reserved by the Company.

If the name change is approved, the Company will also request that ASX change the Company’s ASX ticker code from ‘D2O’ to ‘RIV’ after the change of name takes effect. The ASX ticker code ‘RIV’ has been reserved by the Company.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
