To consider, and if thought fit, to pass the following as an ordinary resolution:
"That, for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and for all other purposes, shareholders approve and authorise the Directors of the Company to issue up to 60,000,000 fullypaid, ordinary shares in the capital of the Company to raise capital, on the terms and conditions set out in the Explanatory Statement accompanying this Notice.

- (b) the Chair as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction given to the Chair to vote on the resolution as the Chair decides; or

DATED THIS 16th DAY OF JULY 2021
BY ORDER OF THE BOARD,
VICTOR HO COMPANY SECRETARY
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
- This Explanatory Statement is provided to Strike shareholders pursuant to and in satisfaction of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act) and the Listing Rules of the Australian Securities Exchange (operated by ASX Limited) (ASX).
- This Explanatory Statement is intended to be read in conjunction with the Notice of General Meeting (Meeting Document).
- Shareholders should read this Meeting Document in full to make an informed decision regarding the resolution considered at this general meeting.
1. ORDINARY RESOLUTION 1 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE 60 MILLION NEW SHARES
Resolution 1 seeks prior shareholder approval for the Company to issue up to 60 million fully paid ordinary shares for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides, in summary, that a listed company may not issue or agree to issue equity securities in any 12 month period which exceed 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities of the company on issue at the beginning of the 12 month period (15% Placement Capacity), except with the prior approval of shareholders.
The effect of Resolution 1 (if passed) will be to allow the Directors the flexibility and timeliness to issue up to 60 million shares during the 3 month period after this General Meeting, without using up the Company's 15% Placement Capacity or without seeking prior shareholder approval.
An issue of 60,000,000 shares will represent approximately 22.22% of the Company's current total issued share capital of 270,000,000 shares.
For completeness, the Company notes that:
- The Company may issue new shares at any time (without prior shareholder approval under ASX Listing 7.1), within its 15% Placement Capacity.
- At the Company's Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on 4 December 20201, shareholders also approved a '10% Placement Facility' pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, which permits the issue of 'Equity Securities' (as defined under the ASX Listing Rules, which includes a share, a right to a share, an option over an issued or unissued security and a convertible security, within an existing class of quoted securities) representing up to 10% of the Company's issued share capital over a 12 month period after the AGM (10% Placement Facility).
- If shareholders do not approve Resolution 1, the Company can still proceed to issue new shares (without prior shareholder approval) but any such issue will need to be within its 15% Placement Capacity and 10% Placement Facility.
1 Refer Strike's Notice of Annual General Meeting, Explanatory Statement and Proxy Form dated 20 October 2020 (and released on ASX on 4 November 2020) and Strike's ASX Announcement dated 4 December 2020: Results of 2020 Annual General Meeting
Information Requirements under the ASX Listing Rules
ASX Listing Rule 7.3 sets out a number of matters which must be included in a notice of meeting requesting shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided to shareholders to assist them to assess whether to approve Resolution 1:
(1) The names of the persons to whom the Company will issue shares or the basis upon which those persons will be identified or selected
The Company is not presently able to identify the persons to whom the Company will issue new shares. The Company proposes to issue new shares only to wholesale (ie. sophisticated or professional) investors and in circumstances where the Company is not required to issue a disclosure document, pursuant to section 708, section 761G and section 761GA of the Corporations Act.
The Company may enter into a mandate with an appropriate firm to assist in a proposed issue of new shares to these investors, in consideration for a fee (including a fee based on a percentage of funds raised).
The Company will not issue new shares to related parties (or their associates) as this will require further shareholder approval(s) under the Corporations Act and or ASX Listing Rules (as applicable).
(2) The number and class of shares the Company will issue
The Company proposes to issue up to a maximum of 60 million fully paid ordinary shares.
The Company will apply for quotation on ASX in respect of any new shares issued.
(3) The date(s) on or by which the Company will issue the shares
The Company is not presently able to identify the dates(s) on which the Company will issue new shares.
The Company may issue new shares only within a 3 month period after the date of the General Meeting, as prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.3.4.
(4) The price the Company will receive for the shares
The Company is not presently able to fix the issue price (or other consideration the Company will receive) in respect of the issue of new shares.
The Company proposes to issue new shares at a cash minimum price that is at least 80% of the volume weighted average market price (VWAMP) (as defined in the ASX Listing Rules) for the Company's shares over the 5 days on which sales in the shares were recorded (Trading Days) prior to the date agreement is reach in respect of the issue of the new shares (Minimum Price).
(5) The purpose of the share issue (intended use of the funds raised)
Funds raised from the issue of new shares (after paying expenses of the issue) will be applied towards the costs of advancement of development of the Company's Paulsens East Iron Ore Project (Western Australia) and Apurimac Iron Ore Project (Peru) and for general working capital purposes.
Shareholder Approval
If shareholders approve Resolution 1, the Company will have the capacity to issue up to 60 million new shares (in one or more tranches) to wholesale (ie. sophisticated or professional) investors (subject to the Minimum Price) during the 3 month period after the General Meeting. Any share issue (and the issue price related thereto) will be determined by the Directors at their absolute discretion at the relevant time (subject to the terms and conditions of shareholder approval of Resolution 1 set out in this Explanatory Statement).
If shareholders do not approve Resolution 1, the Company will have the capacity to issue new shares under its 15% Placement Capacity and 10% Placement Facility but will generally not have any capacity to issue additional new shares without prior shareholder approval (other than as permitted in the prescribed Listing Rule 7.2 exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1).
Directors' Recommendation
The Directors believe that allowing the Company the flexibility and timeliness to issue up to 60 million shares during the 3 month period after this General Meeting, without using up the Company's 15% Placement Capacity or without seeking prior shareholder approval, is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
The Chairman of the General Meeting will call a Poll on voting on Resolution 1.
Voting Exclusion
In accordance with ASX Listing Rules 7.3 and 14.11, a voting exclusion applies to Resolution 1 in the terms set out in the Notice of Meeting.
At the date of this Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement, the Company has not approached any existing shareholder or an identifiable class of existing shareholders to participate in the proposed issue.
In these circumstances (and in accordance with the note set out in ASX Listing Rule 14.11.1 relating to ASX Listing Rule 7.1) for a person's vote to be excluded, it must be known that that person will participate in the proposed issue. Where it is not known who will participate in the proposed issue (as is the case in respect of the proposed issue the subject of Resolution 1), shareholders must consider the proposal on the basis that they may or may not get a benefit and that it is possible that their holding will be diluted, and there is no reason to exclude their votes.
No existing shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion statement for Resolution 1.
