4 Resolution 1 – Issue of Consideration Securities

4.1 General

As detailed in Section 3.2, the Company has agreed to issue the Consideration Securities (comprising 12,000,000 Consideration Shares and 4,000,000 Consideration Performance Rights) to Turaco Gold as consideration under the CDI Mining SPA.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 12,000,000 Consideration Shares and 4,000,000 Consideration Performance Rights to Turaco Gold pursuant to the CDI Mining SPA.

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

4.2 Listing Rule 7.1

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 ( 15% Placement Capacity ).

16

The issue of the Consideration Securities does not fall within any of the exceptions detailed in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not been approved by Shareholders, will effectively use up part of the Company's 15% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 7.1.

Accordingly, Resolution 1 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue the Consideration Securities to Turaco Gold for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 (and for all other purposes).

If Resolution 1 is passed (and all other conditions precedent to the CDI Mining SPA are satisfied or waived (as applicable)), the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Consideration Securities. In addition, the Consideration Securities will be issued to Turaco Gold without using up any of the Company's 15% Placement Capacity on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Consideration Securities will not be issued to Turaco Gold and accordingly the CDI Mining Acquisition and the Transaction will not proceed.

4.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3

The following information in relation to Resolution 1 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3.

  • (a) The Consideration Securities will be issued to Turaco Gold (or its nominees). Turaco Gold is not a related party, key management personnel, a substantial shareholder or an advisor of the Company or an associate of one of those persons.

  • (g) A summary of the material terms of the CDI Mining SPA is detailed in Schedule 2.

5.2 Listing Rules 7.1

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is detailed in Section 4.2.

The issue of the Placement Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions detailed in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not been approved by Shareholders, will effectively use up part of the Company's 15% Placement Capacity in Listing Rule 7.1.

Accordingly, Resolution 2 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue the Placement Shares to the Placement Participants for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 (and for all other purposes).

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Placement Shares. In addition, the Placement Shares will be issued to the Placement Participants without using up any of the Company's 15% Placement Capacity on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Placement Shares will not be issued to the Placement Participants under the terms of the Placement and accordingly the Company will not be able to proceed with the Placement and the Transaction.

The Company is proposing to issue:

  • (b) 2,000,000 Director Shares to Mr Mark Jones (or his nominees) pursuant to Resolution 4.

In accordance with Listing Rule 10.11, Shareholder approval is required for the issue of Shares to a Related Party. Mr Douglas Rose and Mr Mark Jones are each Directors and, therefore, are Related Parties of the Company.

The issues of the Director Shares to the Relevant Directors do not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 10.11 and are therefore conditional upon Shareholder approval (which is being sought pursuant to Resolutions 3 and 4.

Resolutions 3 and 4 are ordinary resolutions. Resolutions 3 and 4 are conditional on and subject to the Transaction Resolutions and Resolution 11 being passed. As detailed in Section 3.7, if the Transaction Resolutions are not approved, Resolutions 3 and 4 will be withdrawn. Also, if Resolution 11 is not approved at the Meeting, Resolutions 3 and 4 will not take effect.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolutions 3 and 4.

The Board (other than Mr Douglas Rose, who has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 3) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

The Board (other than Mr Mark Jones, who has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 4) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

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:

  • (a) a Related Party;

  • (b) a person who is, or was at any time in the six months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • (c) a person who is, or was at any time in the six months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder 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;

  • (d) an associate of a person referred to in (a) to (c); or

  • (e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in (a) to (d) is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

19

unless it obtains shareholder approval.

The issue of the Director Shares to the Relevant Directors (or their respective nominees) falls within paragraph (a) above (being Listing Rule 10.11.1), as the Relevant Directors are Related Parties to the Company, and the issue does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. Therefore, it requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 3 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue 2,000,000 Director Shares to Mr Douglas Rose (or his nominees) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 (and for all other purposes).

Resolution 4 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue 2,000,000 Director Shares to Mr Mark Jones (or his nominees) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 (and for all other purposes).

If Resolutions 3 and 4 are passed, and subject to the Transaction Resolutions and Resolution 11 being passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Director Shares to each Relevant Director (or their respective nominees) and pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 14), the issue of the relevant Director Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolutions 3 and 4 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Director Shares to the Relevant Directors (or their respective nominees), and the Company will not be able to raise funds from issuing the relevant Director Shares to that Relevant Directors.

6.3 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:

  • (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.

Mr Douglas Rose and Mr Mark Jones are Directors and, therefore, are Related Parties of the Company for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.

The Board is unable to form a quorum to determine whether the "arm's length exception" in section 210 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue of the relevant Director Shares to the Relevant Directors under Resolutions 3 and 4, due to Mr Douglas Rose and Mr Mark Jones having an interest in the outcome of Resolutions 3 and 4. Accordingly, the Board has determined to seek Shareholder approval pursuant to section 208 of the Corporations Act for Resolutions 3 and 4.

6.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act

The issues of the Fee Shares to the Relevant Directors do not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 10.11 and are therefore conditional upon Shareholder approval (which is being sought pursuant to Resolutions 5 and 6.

Resolutions 5 and 6 are ordinary resolutions. Resolutions 5 and 6 are conditional on and subject to the Transaction Resolutions and Resolution 11 being passed.

If Resolutions 5 and 6 are passed, and subject to the Transaction Resolutions and Resolution 11 being passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Fee Shares to each Relevant Participant (or their respective nominees) and pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 14), the issue of the relevant Fee Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolutions 5 and 6 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Fee Shares to the Relevant Directors (or their respective nominees), and the Company will instead need to make a cash bonus payment of $50,000 to each Relevant Director instead.

7.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is provided in Section 6.3.

Mr Douglas Rose and Mr Mark Jones are Directors and, therefore, are Related Parties of the Company for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.

The Board is unable to form a quorum to determine whether the "reasonable remuneration exception" in section 211 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue of the relevant Fee Shares to the Relevant Directors under Resolutions 5 and 6, due to Mr Douglas Rose and Mr Mark Jones having an interest in the outcome of Resolutions 5 and 6. Accordingly, the Board has determined to seek Shareholder approval pursuant to section 208 of the Corporations Act for Resolutions 5 and 6.

7.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act

8 Resolution 7 – Approval of the Employee Securities Incentive Plan

8.1 General

The Company considers that it is desirable to adopt an employee incentive scheme pursuant to which the Company can issue Equity Securities to attract, motivate and retain key Directors, employees and consultants and provide them with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

The employee and officer incentive plan known as the Santa Fe Minerals Limited Employee Securities Incentive Plan ( Plan ) enables the Company to grant Shares, Performance Rights, Options and Shares upon the conversion or exercise of Performance Rights and Options ( Employee Incentives ) to be issued to eligible Directors, employees and service providers of the Company ( Eligible Participants ).

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b), to approve the Plan, and to enable Shares, Options and Performance Rights (and Shares upon conversion or exercise of those Performance Rights or Options) to be issued under the Plan to Eligible Participants to be exempted from Listing Rule 7.1 for a period of three years from the date on which Resolution 7 is passed.

A summary of the Plan, to be approved pursuant to Resolution 7, is detailed in Schedule 4. Additionally, a copy of the Plan is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company until the date of the Meeting. A copy of the Plan can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

Resolution 7 is an ordinary resolution. Resolution 7 is conditional on and subject to the Transaction Resolutions and Resolution 11 being passed. As detailed in Section 3.7, if the Transaction Resolutions are not approved, Resolution 7 will be withdrawn. Also, if Resolution 11 is not approved at the Meeting, Resolution 7 will not take effect.

25

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 7.

The Board declines to make a recommendation in relation to Resolution 7 due to its material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution.

8.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b)

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is contained in section 4.2 above.

Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b) provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 such that issues of Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of 3 years from the date on which shareholders approve the issue of Equity Securities under the scheme as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Employee Incentives to Eligible Participants under the Plan without using the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. However, the Company will be required to seek Shareholder approval for the issue of any Employee Incentives issued under the Plan to eligible Directions pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14.

If Resolution 7 is not passed, the Company may still issue Employee Incentives to Eligible Participants under the Plan but any issue of Employee Incentives under the Plan will effectively reduce the Company's 15% placement capacity for 12 months following the issue of the Employee Incentives.

8.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.2

The following information in relation to Resolution 7 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b):

  • (a) the material terms of the Plan are summarised in Schedule 4;

  • (b) the Plan is a new employee incentive scheme and has not previously been approved by Shareholders. No Equity Securities have previously been issued under the Plan;

  • (c) the maximum number of Equity Securities that can be issued under the Plan following Shareholder approval is 7,281,878 Equity Securities, which is equivalent to 10% of the Company's issued share capital at the date of the Notice; and

  • (d) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolution 7.

9 Resolution 8 – Approval of potential termination benefits under the Plan

9.1 General

The Corporations Act contains certain limitations concerning the payment of "termination benefits" to persons who hold a "managerial or executive office". The Listing Rules also provides certain limitations on the payment of "termination benefits" to officers of listed entities.

As is common with employee incentive schemes, the Plan provides the Board with the discretion to, amongst other things, determine that some or all of the Equity Securities granted to a participant under the Plan ( Plan Securities ) will not lapse in the event of that participant ceasing their engagement with the Company before such Plan Securities have vested. This "accelerated vesting" of Plan Securities may constitute a "termination benefit" prohibited under the Corporations Act, regardless of the value of such benefit, unless Shareholder approval is obtained. Accordingly, the Board has resolved to seek Shareholder approval for the granting of such termination benefits in accordance with Resolution 8.

Resolution 8 is an ordinary resolution. Resolution 8 is conditional on and subject to the Transaction Resolutions, Resolution 7 and Resolution 11 being passed. As detailed in Section 3.7, if the Transaction Resolutions are not approved, Resolution 8 will be withdrawn. Also, if Resolution 7 and 11 are not approved at the Meeting, Resolution 8 will not take effect.

26

The Board declines to make a recommendation in relation to Resolution 8 due to their material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution.

9.2 Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act

Under section 200B of the Corporations Act, a company may only give a person a benefit in connection with them ceasing to hold a "managerial or executive office" (as defined in the Corporations Act) if an exemption applies or if the benefit is approved by shareholders in accordance with section 200E of the Corporations Act.

Subject to Shareholder approval of the Transaction Resolutions, Resolution 7 and Resolution 11, Shareholder approval is sought for the purposes of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act to approve the giving of benefits under the Plan to a person by the Company in connection with that person ceasing to be an officer of, or ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office in, the Company (or subsidiary of the Company) on the terms and conditions in this Explanatory Memorandum.

As noted above, under the terms of the Plan and subject to the Listing Rules, the Board possesses the discretion to vary the terms or conditions of the Plan Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the participant in the Plan, no amendment may be made to the terms of any granted Plan Security which reduces the rights of the participant in respect of that Plan Security, other than an amendment introduced primarily to comply with legislation, to correct any manifest error or mistake or to take into consideration possible adverse tax implications.

As a result of the above discretion, the Board has the power to determine that some or all of a participant's Plan Securities will not lapse in the event of the participant ceasing employment or office before the vesting of their Plan Securities.

The exercise of this discretion by the Board may constitute a "benefit" for the purposes of section 200B of the Corporations Act. The Company is therefore seeking Shareholder approval for the exercise of the Board's discretion in respect of any current or future participant in the Plan who holds:

  • (a) a managerial or executive office in, or is an officer of, the Company (or subsidiary of the Company) at the time of their leaving or at any time in the three years prior to their leaving; and

  • (b) Plan Securities at the time of their leaving.

9.3 Value of termination benefits

Provided Shareholder approval is given, the value of the termination benefits may be disregarded when applying section 200F(2)(b) or section 200G(1)(c) of the Corporations Act (i.e. the approved benefit will not count towards the statutory cap under the legislation).

The value of the termination benefits that the Board may give under the Plan cannot be determined in advance. This is because various matters will or are likely to affect that value. In particular, the value of a particular benefit will depend on factors such as the Company's Share price at the time of vesting and the number of Plan Securities that will vest or otherwise be affected. The following additional factors may also affect the benefit's value:

  • (a) the participant's length of service and the status of the vesting conditions attaching to the relevant Plan Securities at the time the participant's employment or office ceases; and

  • (b) the number of unvested Plan Securities that the participant holds at the time they cease employment or office.

In accordance with Listing Rule 10.19, the Company will ensure that no officer of the Company or any of its child entities will, or may be, entitled to termination benefits if the value of those benefits and the terminations benefits that are or may be payable to all officers together exceed 5% of the equity interests of the Company as set out in the latest accounts given to ASX under the Listing Rules.

27

10 Resolutions 9 and 10 – Issue of Incentive Performance Rights to the Relevant Directors

10.1 General

The Company is proposing, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue up to a total of 4,000,000 Performance Rights ( Incentive Performance Rights ) to Mr Douglas Rose and Mr Mark Jones (or their respective nominees), as follows:

Relevant Director Incentive Performance Rights
Mr Douglas Rose 2,000,000
Mr Mark Jones 2,000,000
Total 4,000,000

The Company is in an important stage of development with significant opportunities and challenges in both the near and long-term, and the proposed issue seeks to align the efforts of the Directors in seeking to achieve growth of the Share price and in the creation of Shareholder value. In addition, the Board also believes that incentivising with the Incentive Performance Rights is a prudent means of conserving the Company's available cash reserves. The Board believes it is important to offer these Incentive Performance Rights to the Relevant Directors to continue to attract and maintain highly experienced and qualified Board members in a competitive market.

The Incentive Performance Rights are to be issued under the Company's Plan, the terms of which are summarised in Schedule 4. Subject to the terms and condition detailed in Schedule 5, some of the details of the Incentive Performance Rights are summarised below:

Number Performance Milestone Expiry
4,000,000 The Company announcing to 4 years from their issue date
ASX a JORC Mineral Resource
estimate from the Eburnea
Gold Project of greater than
500,000 ounces of gold
reported at a lower cut-off
grade of 0.5g/t gold.

Subject to the adoption of the Plan (refer to Resolution 7), Resolutions 9 and 10 seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14, Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and for all other purposes to grant an aggregate of 4,000,000 Incentive Performance Rights to the Relevant Directors (or their respective nominees) under the Plan.

Resolutions 9 and 10 are ordinary resolutions. Resolutions 9 and 10 are conditional on and subject to the Transaction Resolutions, Resolution 7 and Resolution 11 being passed. As detailed in Section 3.7, if the Transaction Resolutions are not approved, Resolutions 9 and 10 will be withdrawn. Also, if Resolutions 7 or 11 are not approved at the Meeting, Resolutions 9 and 10 will not take effect.

The Board declines to make a recommendation in relation to Resolutions 9 and 10 due to their material personal interest in the outcome of these Resolutions.

10.2 Listing Rule 10.14

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme:

  • (a) a director of the company;

  • (b) an associate of a director of the company; or

28

  • (c) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The issue of Incentive Performance Rights to the Relevant Directors falls within paragraph (a) above (being Listing Rule 10.14.1) and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

If Resolutions 9 and 10 are passed, and subject to the Transaction Resolutions, Resolution 7 and Resolution 11 being passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights to the Relevant Directors (or their respective nominees). Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 will not be required as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14 (Listing Rule 7.2, exception 14). Accordingly, the issue of Incentive Performance Rights (and Shares issued on conversion of the relevant Performance Rights) will not be included in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolutions 9 and 10 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights to the Relevant Directors (or their respective nominees) and the Company may need to consider alternative arrangements which may include a cash payment made in accordance with the Company's ordinary remuneration process.

10.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is provided in Section 6.3.

Mr Douglas Rose and Mr Mark Jones are Directors and, therefore, are Related Parties of the Company for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act. The grant of the Incentive Performance Rights under the Plan (and their exercise or conversion into Shares) constitutes giving a financial benefit to the Relevant Directors.

The Board is unable to form a quorum to determine whether the "reasonable remuneration exception" in section 211 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue of the Incentive Performance rights to the Relevant Directors under Resolutions 9 and 10, due to Mr Douglas Rose and Mr Mark Jones having an interest in the outcome of Resolutions 9 and 10. Accordingly, the Board has determined to seek Shareholder approval pursuant to section 208 of the Corporations Act for Resolutions 9 and 10.

10.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.15 and section 219 of the Corporations Act

The following information in relation to Resolutions 9 and 10 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.15 and section 219 of the Corporations Act:

  • (ii) Mr Mark Jones (or his nominees) under Resolution 10.

  • (b) Mr Douglas Rose and Mr Mark Jones fall within Listing Rule 10.14.1 as they are Related Parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors. In the event that the Incentive Performance Rights are issued to a nominee of the Relevant Directors, those persons will fall into a category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.14.2.

  • (c) The maximum number of Incentive Performance Rights to be granted to the Relevant Directors are detailed below:

  • (i) Mr Douglas Rose (or his nominees) is 2,000,000 Incentive Performance Rights pursuant to Resolution 9; and

  • (ii) Mr Mark Jones (or his nominees) is 2,000,000 Incentive Performance Rights pursuant to Resolution 10.

29

  • (d) The Incentive Performance Rights being issued to the Relevant Directors are being issued by way of remuneration and incentives to the Relevant Directors. As such, the total remuneration package of the Relevant Directors has been detailed below:
Relevant Director Salary and fees1
Mr Douglas Rose $112,000
Mr Mark Jones $112,000

Notes:

  • 1 This figure includes statutory superannuation, but excludes the value of:

    • (a) the Fee Shares to be issued to Mr Douglas Rose under Resolution 5 and to Mr Mark Jones under Resolution 6; and

    • (b) the Incentive Performance Rights to be issued to Mr Douglas Rose under Resolution 9 and to Mr Mark Jones under Resolution 10.

  • (e) As at the date of the Notice, the Company has not granted any securities under the Plan to the Relevant Directors.

  • (f) As at the date of the Notice, the Relevant Directors hold the following interests in the Company's securities:

Relevant Director Shares
Mr Douglas Rose 4,749,748
Mr Mark Jones 5,860,000
  • (g) The terms and conditions of the Incentive Performance Rights are detailed in Schedule 5.

  • (h) The Incentive Performance Rights are proposed to be issued as a cost effective and efficient reward for the Company to appropriately incentivise the continued performance of the Relevant Directors and is considered by the Board to be consistent with the strategic goals and targets of the Company.

  • (i) The value that the Company attributes to each Incentive Performance Right is $0.18 per Performance Right, giving the Incentive Performance Rights an aggregated value of $720,000. The value attributed to the Incentive Performance Rights to be issued to each Relevant Director is as follows:

Relevant Director Total Value
Mr Douglas Rose $360,000
Mr Mark Jones $360,000

(j) The valuation of the Incentive Performance Rights was prepared in accordance with the requirements under the AASB 2 Share-based Payments guidance, and is based on the Company's closing Share price on 8 July 2025, being $0.18 per Share. As the Incentive Performance Rights have no market conditions attached and a nil exercise price, the fair value of the Incentive Performance Rights is based on the Share price on their grant date. For the purposes of this Notice, 8 July 2025 was assumed as the grant date.

  • (k) The Company intends to issue the Incentive Performance Rights to the Relevant Directors (or their respective nominees) within one month after the date of the Meeting, and by no later than three years after the date of the Meeting.

30

  • (l) The Incentive Performance Rights will be issued for nil cash consideration (and no amount is payable upon the conversion of the Incentive Performance Rights).

  • (m) No funds will be raised by the issue of the Incentive Performance Rights as they are being granted for nil cash consideration.

  • (n) A summary of the material terms of the Plan are detailed in Schedule 4.

  • (ii) any additional persons covered by 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.

  • (q) The Incentive Performance Rights to be issued to the Relevant Directors (or their respective nominees) will not have an immediate dilutionary impact on the Company. However, if the Incentive Performance Rights convert into Shares in the future, there will be a dilutionary impact on the other Shareholders of the Company. In this regard, if the underlying Shares are issued on conversion of the Incentive Performance Rights, this will result in a dilution of all other Shareholders' holdings in the Company of 5.21% based on issued Shares as at the date of the Notice and 3.55% on the basis that all Securities are issued pursuant to the Resolutions included in this Notice.

(r) The historical quoted price information for Shares for the last 12 months is as follows:

Shares Price Date
Highest $0.28 15 July 2025
Lowest $0.029 26 November 2025
Last $0.27 24 July 2025
  • (s) Mr Douglas Rose has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 9 and therefore believes it inappropriate to make a recommendation to Shareholders on how to vote on Resolution 9 .

  • (t) Mr Mark Jones has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 10 and therefore believes it inappropriate to make a recommendation to Shareholders on how to vote on Resolution 10.

  • (u) Other than the information above and otherwise detailed in the Notice, the Company does not consider that there is any further information that would reasonably be required by Shareholders to pass to Resolutions 9 and 10.

  • (v) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolutions 9 and 10.

31

11 Resolution 11 – Section 195 approval

11.1 General

In accordance with section 195 of the Corporations Act, a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a 'material personal interest' are being considered.

Mr Douglas Rose and Mr Mark Jones have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 3 to 10 (inclusive).

In the absence of this Resolution 11, the Directors may not be able to form a quorum at directors meetings necessary to carry out the terms of Resolutions 3 to 10 (inclusive).

The Directors accordingly exercise their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put the issue to Shareholders to resolve.

Resolution 11 is an ordinary resolution. As detailed in Section 3.7, if the Transaction Resolutions are not approved, Resolution 11 will be withdrawn.

The Chair intends to exercise all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 11.

11.2 Board Recommendation

The Board considers that, given the potential personal interests of the Directors the subject of Resolution 11, it would be inappropriate for the Directors to give any voting recommendation with respect to Resolution 11.
