STAR MINERALS LIMITED – NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING, EXPLANATORY STATEMENT AND PROXY FORM

2.3 Listing Rule requirements

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 issued at the start of that period.

Listing Rule 7.1A provides that, in addition to issues permitted without prior shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1, an entity that is eligible and obtains shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue during the period the approval is valid an additional number of equity securities which represents 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the date of the approval, as adjusted in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A. Having obtained Shareholder approval at the Company’s annual general meeting on 28 November 2024, the Company has an additional 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The issue of T1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% additional limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the T1 Placement Shares and Listing Rule 7.1A.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule. Listing Rule 7.4 also provides that an issue made in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A can be approved subsequently under Listing Rule 7.4. The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

2.4

Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

Resolution 1

If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue 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 1 is not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval under that rule.

Resolution 2

If Resolution 2 is passed, the issue will be excluded in calculating the 10% additional limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval under that rule.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the issue will be included in calculating the Company’s 10% additional limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval under that rule.

2.5

2.6 Directors’ recommendation

The Board believes that the ratification of the issue of T1 Placement Shares under Resolutions 1 and 2 is beneficial for the Company as it allows the Company to retain the flexibility to issue further securities representing up to 15% of the Company’s share capital during the next 12 months without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval and up to 10% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval. Accordingly, the Board recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.

3. Resolution 3: Approval to issue T2 Placement Shares

3.1 General

As detailed in Section 1.1, the Company proposes to issue with Shareholder approval under Resolution 3, 34,000,000 T2 Placement Shares to the Proposed Placement Participants to raise an additional $850,000 (before costs), seeing the total raise under the Placement equal $1.6 million (before costs).

As at the date of the Notice, the Company does not have sufficient placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the issue of the T2 Placement Shares. Accordingly, Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the T2 Placement Shares.

3.2 Listing Rule requirements

As summarised in Section 2.3 above, 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.

The Company does not presently have sufficient placement capacity to issue the T2 Placement Shares pursuant to the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1. In addition, the proposed issue of T2 Placement Shares pursuant to Resolution 3 does not fall into any of the exceptions under Listing Rule 7.2. It therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3, as it will enable the Company to issue the T2 Placement Shares to the Proposed Placement Participants to raise up to approximately $850,000 before costs.

4. Resolution 4: Approval to issue Broker Options

4.1 Background

In connection with the Placement detailed in Section 1, the Company engaged CPS Capital Group Pty Ltd (ACN 088 055 636) (ASFL 294848) as Lead Manager to the Placement pursuant to a mandate ( Mandate ). A summary of the material terms of the Mandate is set out in Section 1.3 above.

Pursuant to the terms of the Mandate, the Company proposes to issue, subject to Shareholder approval under Resolution 4, up to 10,000,000 options (exercisable at $0.0375 each and expiring 3 years from the issue date) ( Broker Options ) to CPS (or its nominee) in part consideration for services provided in relation to the Placement.

The material terms of the Broker Options are set out in Schedule 1.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Broker Options.

4.2 Resolution

Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution to approve the issue of Broker Options to CPS (or its nominee) for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1.

As summarised in Section 2.3 above, 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. The proposed issue of Broker Options pursuant to Resolution 4 is conditional on Shareholder approval and therefore the issue falls within Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 17. In order for the issue to proceed, it requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

4.4 Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Broker Options to CPS (or its nominee).

5. Resolution 5: Approval to issue T2 Placement Shares to Ian Stuart

5.1

Background

As detailed in Section 1, the Company is in the process of undertaking the Placement for the purposes of raising funds to fund continued project development programs. As announced on 12 March 2025, the proceeds from the Placement will primarily be applied towards works at Tumblegum South Gold Project including infill and extension drilling; resource upgrade; approvals and environmental studies; and a feasibility study; new project generation; and general working capital.

Under tranche 2 of the Placement, the Company proposes to issue up to 34,000,000 T2 Placement Shares to the Proposed Placement Participants with shareholder approval (being the subject of Resolution 3).

33,200,000 T2 Placement Shares under the Placement have been applied for by Proposed Placement Participants who are not ‘related parties’ of the Company ( Non-Related Party Investors ).

Director Ian Stuart ( Related Party Investor ) has applied to participate in the Placement for up to 800,000 T2 Placement Shares, subject to shareholder approval (being the subject of this Resolution 5).

5.2 Resolution

Resolution 5 seeks approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 10.11 to issue T2 Placement Shares under the Placement to the Related Party Investor or his respective nominee.

5.3 Listing Rule requirements

The Company is proposing to issue up to 800,000 T2 Placement Shares to Ian Stuart (or his nominee) who is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

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:

10.11.1 a related party;

STAR MINERALS LIMITED – NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING, EXPLANATORY STATEMENT AND PROXY FORM

15

  • 10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the Company;

  • 10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the Company 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;

  • 10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • 10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The issue falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11. As approval is being sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not also required under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue.

If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of 800,000 T2 Placement Shares to Ian Stuart (or his nominee) and the Company will not raise $20,000 in funds.

5.5 Corporations Act requirements

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of “financial benefits” to “related parties” by a public company. Chapter 2E prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:

  • (a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provisions; or

  • (b) prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit.

A “related party” is widely defined under the Corporations Act, and includes the directors of the Company. As such, the Directors are related parties of the Company for the purposes of Section 208 of the Corporations Act.

A “financial benefit” is construed widely and in determining whether a financial benefit is being given, Section 229 of the Corporations Act requires that any consideration that is given is disregarded, even if the consideration is adequate. It is necessary to look at the economic and commercial substance and the effect of the transaction in determining the financial benefit. Section 229 of the Corporations Act includes as an example of a financial benefit, the issuing of securities or the granting of an option to a related party.

One of the nominated exceptions to the requirement to obtain shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is where the provision of the financial benefit is on terms that would be reasonable in the circumstances if the Company and the related party were dealing at arm’s length (or on terms less favourable than arm’s length).

Given Mr Stuart will be participating in the Placement on the same terms as the parties who are not related parties of the Company, the Board considers the issue of T2 Placement Shares under Resolution 5 to constitute provision of a financial benefit on arms’ length terms, and accordingly that Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required.

5.6 Directors’ recommendation

The Board (excluding Mr Stuart who has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 5 and accordingly declines to make a recommendation) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5 to permit the issue of the relevant T2 Placement Shares, on the same basis as non-related party Proposed Placement Participants.

6. Resolution 6(a), 6(b) and 6(c): Approval to issue Performance Rights to Related Parties

6.1

Background

The Company has determined that the grant of Performance Rights under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan ( Plan ) to Directors is an appropriate form of long term incentive for the Company’s Directors. A summary of the Plan is set out in Schedule 2.

Accordingly, the Company is proposing, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue the following Performance Rights to the Directors Ian Stuart, Ashley Jones and Gemma Lee (or their respective nominees) ( Recipients ) under the Plan:

Resolution Director Number of Equity Securities
6(a) Ian George Stuart 7,500,000 Performance Rights, comprising:

1,666,667 Class A Performance Rights;

1,666,667 Class B Performance Rights; and

1,666,666 Class C Performance Rights;

833,333 Class D Performance Rights;

833,333 Class E Performance Rights; and

833,334 Class F Performance Rights.
6(b) Ashley Stewart Jones 7,500,000 Performance Rights, comprising:

1,666,667 Class A Performance Rights;

1,666,667 Class B Performance Rights; and

1,666,666 Class C Performance Rights;

833,333 Class D Performance Rights;

833,333 Class E Performance Rights; and

833,334 Class F Performance Rights.
6(c) Gemma Lee 3,000,000 Performance Rights, comprising:

666,666 Class A Performance Rights;

666,666 Class B Performance Rights; and

666,666 Class C Performance Rights;

333,334 Class D Performance Rights;

333,334 Class E Performance Rights; and

333,334 Class F Performance Rights.

The terms of the Performance Rights, including the specific performance hurdles attaching to Class A – F Performance Rights, are outlined in Schedule 3.

In determining Directors’ remuneration packages, including this proposed issue of performance Rights under the Plan, the Company considered the scope of the Directors’ roles, the business challenges facing the Company and market practice for the remuneration of officers in positions of similar responsibility.

6.2

Listing Rules requirements

The Company is proposing to issue up to 18,000,000 Performance Rights under the Plan in connection with Resolutions 6(a), 6(b) and 6(c).

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire Equity Securities under the Plan:

10.14.1 a director of the Company;

STAR MINERALS LIMITED – NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING, EXPLANATORY STATEMENT AND PROXY FORM

18

10.14.2 an associate of a director of the company; or

10.14.3 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 proposed issue falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 above and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14. If approval is given by Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14, separate shareholder approval is not required under Listing Rules 7.1 and 10.11.

6.3 Resolution

Resolutions 6(a), 6(b) and 6(c) are ordinary resolutions seeking Shareholder approval to issue 7,500,000 Performance Rights to each of Directors Ian Stuart and Ashley Jones, and 3,000,000 Performance Rights to Gemma Lee, respectively, under the Plan for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14 and section 208 of the Corporations Act.

Resolutions 6(a), 6(b) and 6(c) are separate resolutions.

6.4

Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 6(a), 6(b) and/or 6(c) are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue.

However, if any or all of Resolutions 6(a), 6(b) and 6(c) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the relevant issue of Performance Rights. In that event, the Company may consider alternative remunerative arrangements with its Directors.

6.5 Listing Rule information requirements

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act regulates the provision of “financial benefits” to “related parties” by a public company. Chapter 2E prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the public company unless either:

==> picture [10 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [10 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the provisions; or

prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit.

A “related party” is widely defined under the Corporations Act, and includes the directors of the company. As such, the Directors are related parties of the Company for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.

A “financial benefit” is construed widely and in determining whether a financial benefit is being given, section 229 of the Corporations Act requires that any consideration that is given is disregarded, even if the consideration is adequate. It is necessary to look at the economic and commercial substance and the effect of the transaction in determining the financial benefit. Section 229 of the Corporations Act includes as an example of a financial benefit, the issuing of securities or the granting of an option to a related party.

The issue of the Performance Rights under Resolutions 6(a), 6(b) and 6(c) constitute the provision of a financial benefit to related parties.

In compliance with the information requirements of section 219 of the Corporations Act, Shareholders are advised of the information below. Neither the Directors nor the Company are aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to make a decision in relation to the financial benefits contemplated by Resolutions 6(a), 6(b) and 6(c).

The Performance Rights are proposed to be issued to:

Resolution 6(a) – Mr Ian George Stuart;

Resolution 6(b) – Mr Ashley Stewart Jones; and

Resolution 6(c) – Ms Gemma Lee,
or their respective nominees.
The Recipients are Directors of the Company and, as such, related parties of the Company.
Nature of the
financial benefit
Resolutions 6(a), 6(b) and 6(c) each seek approval from Shareholders to allow the Company to
issue Performance Rights to the related parties for nil consideration in accordance with the table
at Section 6.1 above.
Schedule 3 of this Notice of Meeting sets out the key terms and conditions of the Performance
Rights, including the performance conditions and vesting criteria attached to the Performance
Rights.
The Shares to be issued upon vesting of the Performance Rights 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.
The Company considers that the issue of Performance Rights to its personnel are a cost effective
and efficient means for the Company to provide incentive to its personnel as opposed to
alternative forms of incentives such as cash bonuses or increased remuneration. The Company
considers that, to enable the Company to secure and retain employees and directors who can
assist the Company in achieving its objectives, it is necessary to provide remuneration and
incentives to such personnel. The issue of the Performance Rights is designed to achieve this
objective, by encouraging continued improvement in performance over time and by encouraging
personnel to acquire and retain shareholdings in the Company.
The Company reviewed the practices of other companies of a similar size and stage of
development to determine the number of Performance Rights required to be issued to attract
and retain senior directors. Based on that review, the Board determined the number of
Performance Rights to each Director proposed in Resolutions 6(a), 6(b) and 6(c) are appropriate.
