EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions which are the subject of the business of the Meeting.

1. OVERVIEW OF MEETING

1.1 Capital Restructuring (Resolutions 1 to 17)

Resolutions 1 to 17 together seek approval for a significant capital restructuring of the Company ( Capital Restructuring ).

An overview of the approvals being sought in relation to the Capital Restructuring at this Meeting is set out below:

(a) Debt for equity conversions

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval for:

  • (i) a consolidation of the capital of the Company on a one (1) for sixty (60) basis which will result in the number of Shares on issue being reduced from 1,342,333,028 to 22,372,217 (subject to rounding) ( Consolidation );

  • (ii) various debt for equity conversions including:

  • (A) the issue of up to 151,940,120 Shares (on a postConsolidation basis) and 151,940,120 Options in respect of the conversion of all of the existing Listed Convertible Notes of the Company ( Noteholder Conversion ). Approval of the Noteholder Conversion will enable the Company to avoid the need to make a cash payment of up to approximately $6.63 million on the Maturity Date of the Listed Convertible Notes, which in the circumstances is likely to be required in order to redeem the Listed Convertible Notes;

  • (B) the issue up to 9,156,396 Shares (on a postConsolidation basis) and 9,156,396 Options to various related party creditors in order to satisfy $481,466 in amounts outstanding; and

  • (C) the issue up to 1,326,833 Shares (on a postConsolidation basis) and 1,326,833 Options to consultants and creditors to satisfy $105,647 in amounts outstanding.

(b) $1.5 million debt finance - Conversion of Unlisted Convertible Notes

The Company has entered into an agreement to secure up to $1.5 million in additional debt finance through the issue of new Unlisted Convertible Notes. Approval is being sought for the issue of up to 843,333,334 Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis) upon the conversion of these Unlisted Convertible Notes.

12

It is expected that the Unlisted Convertible Notes will be converted as soon as practicable following Shareholder approval for the issue.

(c) Proposed $3 million capital raising

The Company proposes to raise up to $3,000,000 through a placement of up to 1,500,000,000 Shares at an issue price of not less than $0.002 per Share (on a post-Consolidation basis) ( Placement ). Shareholder approval is being sought for the Placement.

If implemented, the Capital Restructuring should clear all existing debts of the Company and enable the Company to have sufficient working capital to pursue its oil and gas interests.

The Capital Restructuring will not proceed and will not will take effect unless each of Resolutions 1 to 17 is passed by Shareholders.

If the Capital Restructuring does not proceed, the Company does not have any realistic possibility of repaying all the Listed Convertible Noteholders as and when the Listed Convertible Notes fall due for repayment at the Maturity Date on 31 December 2014. As a consequence it is highly likely that the Company would be forced into administration.

Additionally, if the Capital Restructuring is not approved by Shareholders it will trigger an automatic default event under the terms and conditions of the Unlisted Convertible Notes (refer to section 6 of the Explanatory Statement) ( Default Event ). Upon the occurrence of a Default Event the holders of the Unlisted Convertible Notes may instruct the Unlisted Convertible Note Trustee to demand the immediate repayment by the Company of the face value of the Unlisted Convertible Notes issued ($400,000 as at the date of this Notice) or commence proceedings to wind up the Company. In the circumstances it is likely that a Default Event will result in the Company being wound up.

1.2 Election of Directors (Resolutions 18 and 19)

Resolutions 18 and 19 relate to the election of Mr Ranko Matic and Mr Michael Davy as Directors of the Company.

1.3 Change of company status and name and adoption of new constitution (Resolutions 20-22)

Shareholder approval is being sought for the Company to change its status from a public company limited by shares to a no liability company. A no liability company structure is a form of corporate vehicle traditionally used by mining enterprises.

The Directors may wish to issue partly paid shares in the capital of the Company in the future to incentivise senior management.

A no liability company structure would enable the Directors to issue partly paid shares to senior management in the future without exposing the recipients of the partly paid shares to liability for the unpaid amount. The holder of a share in a no liability company has no obligation to pay any calls in respect of the share or to make any contribution to the debts and liabilities of the company. The holder of shares cannot therefore be sued for any calls or contributions.

13

In connection with the proposed change of status of the Company approval is also being sought for the adoption of a new constitution suitable for a no liability company and for the Company to change its name to Antilles Oil and Gas NL .

1.4 Strategic Review and New Opportunities

The Company’s current assets comprise a 50% working interest in the Greene Prospect within the Mother Lode III project area in the Permian Basin in Texas, as well as joint ownership of extensive seismic survey data over all the Mother Lode III project area. The operator of the Greene Prospect is Endeavor Energy Resources, LLP and the Roman 27-1 well was successfully completed by them as a producer in late 2010.

The seismic data points to further possible wells on the Greene Prospect. This was backed up by a 2009 independent geological assessment of the prospect (as announced on ASX on 31 July 2009). The seismic data also covers a further seven prospects, similar to the Greene Prospect, and the Company will assess leasing opportunities over the seismic data area in the coming months as part of a strategic review.

On the completion of the Capital Restructuring, the Company has a number of options available. It can either (a) buy back into the Roman 27-1 well, with appropriate penalties, (b) propose a sole risk work programme and/or an additional well, leaving the operator with the option of either participating or allowing the Company to proceed on its own, or (c) lease additional land under the total seismic controlled area of 175 square miles with a view to developing additional drill targets.

All of the above options will be considered by the Company as part of a strategic review. However, until the Capital Restructuring is complete, the Board does not have the resources (financial or technical to complete this review). The results of the review will be announced to ASX in due course.

The Company is also actively assessing new opportunities in the oil and gas sector. As and when developments unfold on these opportunities, announcements will be made to ASX in accordance with the Company’s continuous disclosure obligations.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – CONSOLIDATION OF CAPITAL

2.1 Background

If Resolution 1 is passed and excluding any Shares issued pursuant to the other Resolutions, the number of Shares on issue will be reduced from 1,342,333,028 to 22,372,217 (subject to rounding) ( Consolidation ).

2.2 Legal requirements

Section 254H of the Corporations Act provides that a company may, by resolution passed in a general meeting, convert all or any of its Shares into a larger or smaller number.

2.3 Fractional entitlements

Not all Shareholders will hold that number of Shares which can be evenly divided by 60. Where a fractional entitlement occurs, the Company will round that fraction up to the nearest whole Share.

14

2.4 Taxation

It is not considered that any taxation implications will exist for Shareholders arising from the Consolidation. However, Shareholders are advised to seek their own tax advice on the effect of the Consolidation and that the Company does not accept any responsibility for the individual taxation implications arising from the Consolidation.

2.5 Holding statements

From the date of the Consolidation, all holding statements for Shares will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of Shares on a post-Consolidation basis.

After the Consolidation is effected, the Company will arrange for new holding statements for Shares to be issued to holders of those Shares.

It is the responsibility of each Shareholder to check the number of Shares held prior to disposal or exercise (as the case may be).

2.6 Effect on capital structure

The effect which the Consolidation will have on the Company’s capital structure is set out in the table below.

The Company also has 9 convertible preference shares on issue. Each convertible preference share will automatically convert into 1,000,000 Shares (on a pre-Consolidation basis) if the relevant milestones are achieved. The terms and conditions of the convertible preference shares are set out in the Company’s prospectus dated 17 May 2006. If the Consolidation is approved, the number of Shares into which the convertible preference shares will convert (if the relevant milestones are achieved), will also be consolidated on a 60 for 1 basis.

2.7 Indicative timetable

If Resolution 1 is passed, the Consolidation will take effect in accordance with the following timetable (as set out in Appendix 7A (paragraph 8) of the ASX Listing Rules):

3. RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL FOR ISSUE OF SHARES AND OPTIONS TO LISTED CONVERTIBLE NOTEHOLDERS (AVDG)

3.1 General

Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of up to 151,940,120 Shares at an issue price of $0.048 per Share (on a post Consolidation basis) or $0.008 per Share on a pre-Consolidation basis, together with one (1) free attaching Option for every Share issued for the conversion of the Listed Convertible Notes held by existing Listed Convertible Noteholders ( Noteholder Conversion ).

Subject to the Shareholder approval for the Capital Restructuring, the existing Listed Convertible Noteholders are being asked to approve an amendment to the Terms and Conditions of the Listed Convertible Notes (set out in the Listed Convertible Noteholder notice of meeting announced on 6 May 2014) which will enable the Noteholder Conversion to be implemented.

Approval of the Noteholder Conversion will enable the Company to avoid the need to make a cash payment of up to approximately $6.63 million on the Maturity Date of the Listed Convertible Notes, which in the circumstances is likely to be required in order to redeem the Listed Convertible Notes.

The Directors have considered various alternative methods of dealing with the Listed Convertible Notes on the Maturity Date. In the circumstances, the Company does not have any realistic possibility of repaying the Listed Convertible Notes. As such, if Resolution 2 is not approved, it is highly likely that the Company would be forced into administration. The Noteholder Conversion is in the Director's view in the best interests of the Company.

It is anticipated that the Noteholder Conversion will occur at the same time that the Unlisted Convertible Notes all convert into Shares, which will be as soon as practicable following this meeting.

3.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

The effect of Resolution 2 will be to allow the Company to issue the Shares and Options pursuant to the Noteholder Conversion during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

17

3.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the Noteholder Conversion:

  • (a) the maximum number of Shares to be issued is 151,940,120 and the maximum number of Options to be issued is 151,940,120 (in each case, on a post Consolidation basis);

  • (b) the Shares and Options will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Shares and Options will occur on the same date;

  • (c) the issue price will be $0.048 per Share and nil per Option as the Options will be issued free attaching with the Shares on the basis of one Option for each Share issued;

  • (d) the Shares and Options will be issued to the Listed Convertible Noteholders. None of the Listed Convertible Noteholders are related parties of the Company;

  • (e) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (f) the Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1; and

  • (g) no funds will be raised from the Noteholder Conversion.

4. RESOLUTIONS 3 TO 11 – APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF SHARES AND OPTIONS TO RELATED PARTIES IN LIEU OF MANAGEMENT CHARGES, LOAN REPAYMENTS AND EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS

4.1 General

As at the date of this Notice, the Company has a total of $481,466 in amounts outstanding to Related Party creditors as follows:

  • (a) $124,750 to AAG Management Pty Ltd in respect of management charges, loan repayments and expense reimbursements;

  • (b) $55,250 to GCP Capital Pty Ltd in respect of fees for services rendered;

  • (c) $126,833 to Cumberland Investments Pty Ltd in respect of fees for services rendered and expense reimbursements;

  • (d) $61,136 to Fay Holdings Pty Ltd in respect of fees for services rendered and expense reimbursements;

  • (e)

  • $3,750 to Gondwana Securities Pty Ltd in lieu of loan repayments;

  • (f) $60,000 to Odin Energy Limited in lieu of loan repayments respect of fees and expense reimbursements;

  • (g) $7,500 to Sealblue Investments Pty Ltd in lieu of loan repayments;

18

  • (h) $27,350 to Greencode Pty Ltd in respect of fees for services rendered, loan repayments and expense reimbursements; and

  • (i) $14,609 to Blaze Asset Pty Ltd in lieu of loan repayments,

  • (together the above parties are referred to as the Related Party Creditors and the amounts owed by the Company to the Related Party Creditors the Related Party Debts ).

In order to discharge the Related Party Debts and maintain a greater proportion of the Company’s cash, the Company and Directors have agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue Shares and Options to the Related Party Creditors.

In this regard, the Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue up to 9,156,396 Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis) ( Related Party Shares ) and 9,156,396 Options ( Related Party Options ) (together the Related Party Shares and the Related Party Options the Related Party Securities ) to the Related Party Creditors in order to satisfy the Related Party Debts as set out in Schedule 3.

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:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members 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 issue of the Related Party Securities to the Related Party Creditors constitutes giving a financial benefit.

The Directors consider that the conversion of the Related Party Debt to equity is on arm’s length terms and that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of Related Party Securities because the ratio upon which the Related Party Securities to be issued upon conversion of the debt (calculated at $0.048 per Share) reflects a significant discount to the value of the Related Party Debt.

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

It is the view of the Company that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of Related Party Options to the Related Parties.

4.2 Shareholder Approval (Listing Rule 10.11)

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of Related Party Securities:

5. RESOLUTION 12 - APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF SHARES AND OPTIONS IN LIEU OF FEES, LOAN REPAYMENTS AND EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS

Listing Rule 7.1

Listing Rule 7.1 provides, subject to certain exceptions, that Shareholder approval is required for any issue of securities by a listed company, where the securities proposed to be issued represent more than 15% of the Company's securities then on issue.

As the issue of the Shares to the Non-Related Party Creditors under Resolution 10 exceeds this 15% threshold and none of the exceptions in Listing Rule 7.2 apply, Shareholder approval is sought in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of Resolution 12 will be to allow the Company to issue up to 1,326,833 Shares and 1,326,833 Options to the Non-Related Party Creditors, without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and the additional 10% annual capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1A.

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of Shares and Options contemplated by Resolution 12:

The Tranche 1 Unlisted Notes have already been issued. It is expected that the Tranche 2 Unlisted Notes will be issued either immediately prior to the meeting or soon thereafter (subject, of course, to securing investors to subscribe for these Tranche 2 Unlisted Notes). ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

The effect of Resolutions 13 and 14 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Shares upon the conversion of the Unlisted Convertible Notes pursuant to the Unlisted Convertible Note Facility during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

7.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the Placement:

8. RESOLUTIONS 16 AND 17 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO RELATED PARTIES UPON CONVERSION OF UNLISTED CONVERTIBLE NOTES

8.1 General

Mr Ranko Matic (or his nominee) and Mr Michael Davy (or his nominee) wish to be issued Shares upon conversion of the Unlisted Convertible Notes they hold.

Resolutions 16 and 17 seek Shareholder approval for the in the issue of up to:

  • (a) 25,000,000 Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis) to Mr Ranko Matic (or his nominee) upon the conversion of his Tranche 2 Convertible Notes; and

  • (b) 15,666,667 Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis) to Mr Michael Davy (or his nominee) upon the conversion of his Tranche 1 Convertible Notes and Tranche 2 Convertible Notes ( Conversion ).

8.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is set out in section 4.1 above.

The Conversion will result in the issue of Shares which constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Ranko Matic and Mr Michael Davy who are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Conversion because the Shares will be issued to Mr Ranko Matic and Mr Michael Davy on the same terms as Shares issued to non-related party holders of Tranche 2 Convertible Notes and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

8.3

ASX Listing Rule 10.11

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in section 4.1 above.

As the Conversion involves the issue of Shares to related parties of the Company, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an

26

exception applies. It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.

8.4 ASX LISTING RULE 10.1

As Mr Ranko Matic and Mr Michael Davy are related parties of the Company, they have agreed that their Unlisted Convertible Notes are not secured.

8.5 Technical Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13

  • (a) the Shares will be issued to:

  • (i) Mr Ranko Matic (or his nominee); and

  • (b) the maximum number of Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis) to be issued is 40,666,667 as follows:

  • (ii) 15,666,667 Shares to Mr Michael Davy (or his nominee) upon conversion of his Tranche 1 Convertible Notes; and

Clause 6.2(b) of the Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director.

10. RESOLUTION 20 – CHANGE OF COMPANY STATUS – LTD TO NL

Resolution 20 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to change its status from a public company limited by shares to a no liability company ( NL ). Section 162 of the Corporations Act specifically provides that a public company limited by shares may change its status to a NL by the members of the company passing a special resolution to that effect.

10.1

Rationale for change of status

The Directors may wish to issue partly paid shares in the capital of the Company in the future to incentivise senior management.

A no liability company structure would enable the Directors to issue partly paid shares to senior management without exposing the recipients of the partly paid shares to liability for the unpaid amount. The holder of a share in a no liability company has no obligation to pay any calls in respect of the share or to make any contribution to the debts and liabilities of the company. The holder of shares cannot therefore be sued for any calls or contributions.

A no liability company structure is a form of corporate vehicle traditionally used by mining enterprises

10.2 No Liability Companies

No liability companies are a special class of company established solely for the mining industry. The speculative nature of the mining industry has made special rules relating to the liability of members necessary in order to facilitate the raising of capital. The main feature of a no liability company is that members are not liable for any calls on the unpaid portion of shares. Instead if a call is not answered the shares are forfeited. Further a member is not liable to make any contribution to the debts and liabilities of the company in the event of its winding up.

A no liability company must be a public company and is generally treated by the Corporations Act as any other public companies. However some special provisions are provided as follows:

  • (a) ( public company ): A no liability company must be a public company and the same documents must generally be lodged as for the registration of a public company. However a no liability company is subject to special requirements for its constitution;

  • (b) ( mining purposes ): Only a company whose sole objects are mining purposes may be registered as a no liability company. As a result a no

28

liability must have a statement of objects specifying the “mining purposes” of the Company in its constitution;

  • (c) ( calls on shares ): In addition to the requirement that the objects of the company be included in the constitution, the constitution of a no liability company must not grant the company a contractual right to recover calls on shares from a shareholder who fails to pay them. The holder of a share in a no liability company has no obligation to pay any calls in respect of the share or to make any contribution to the debts and liabilities of the company. The holder of shares cannot therefore be sued for any calls or contributions.

As failure to pay a call will lead to the forfeiture of the shares, special rules are provided for the manner in which a call is to be required to be made. The Corporations Act provides that calls may be made payable on any date provided there are at least 14 days from the day on which a call is made until the day on which it is payable. The time at which a company's call is made is the date at which the resolution is passed for the call.

If 14 days after the date for payment of a call no payment is made then the share is thereby forfeited without the need for any further resolution of directors. The share will be forfeited only if the call is validly made and this requirement will be strictly construed.

The sale of shares on which calls have not been paid must take place not more than 6 weeks after the date on which the call was payable;

  • (d) ( naming convention ): A no liability company is to have “No Liability” or the abbreviation “NL” as part of its name. A no liability company is not however also required to have “Limited” after its name even though it is also a public company;

  • (e) ( balance sheet ): The balance sheet of a no liability company must show the number of shares forfeited during the period to which the accounts relate. Immediately shares in a no liability company are forfeited, ASX must be notified: ASX Listing Rule 3.12. A no liability company does not have to include a list of members in its annual return;

  • (f) ( dividends ): A person is not entitled to be paid a dividend from a share in a no liability company if a call has been made on the share and is due and unpaid. Dividends are payable to the members of a no liability company in accordance with the proportion of shares held by them irrespective of the amount paid up or the amount credited as paid up on the shares; and

  • (g) ( winding-up ): The rules for the winding up of a no liability company will be the same as for other companies except that certain of the winding up provisions will not apply. Sections 514–529 of the Corporations Act which deal with the liability of contributories do not apply as the members of a no liability company will not be liable for any amounts not called up.

Any surplus which remains following the winding up of a no liability company is to be distributed among the members according to the proportion of shares held regardless of the amounts paid up on the shares. However a member who is in arrears in the payment of a call but whose shares have not actually been forfeited is not entitled to share in

29

the distribution until the amount owing in respect of the call has been fully paid and satisfied.

If the no liability company ceases to carry on business within 12 months of its registration, shares issued for cash will rank, to the extent of the capital contributed by subscribing shareholders, in priority to those issued to vendors or promoters or both for consideration other than cash. The Company was registered on 16 November 2004.

11. RESOLUTION 21 – REPLACEMENT OF CONSTITUTION

A company may modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of Shareholders.

Resolution 21 is a special resolution which will enable the Company to repeal its existing Constitution and adopt a new constitution ( Proposed Constitution ) which is of the type required for a listed no liability Company to ensure it reflects the current provisions of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules.

The Directors believe that it is preferable in the circumstances to replace the existing Constitution with the Proposed Constitution rather than to amend a multitude of specific provisions.

A copy of the Proposed Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at the Company’s website http://www.advanceenergyltd.com.au and at the office of the Company. A copy of the Proposed Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary (+61 8 9429 2900). Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

12. RESOLUTION 22 – CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

Section 157(1)(a) of the Corporations Act provides that a company may change its name if the company passes a special resolution adopting a new name.

Resolution 22 seeks the approval of Shareholders for the Company to change its name to Antilles Oil and Gas NL .

If Resolution 22 is passed the change of name will take effect following completion of the conversion of the Company to a no liability Company as contemplated under Resolution 20 and when ASIC alters the details of the Company’s registration.

If Resolution 22 is passed, the Company will lodge a copy of the special resolution with ASIC in order to effect the change.

If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.

  1. ( Direction to vote ): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.

3. ( Signing instructions ):

  • ( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.

  • ( Joint holding ): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders should sign.

  • ( Power of attorney ): If you have not already provided the power of attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the power of attorney to this Proxy Form when you return it.

  • ( Companies ): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. In addition, if a representative of a company is appointed pursuant to Section 250D of the Corporations Act to attend the Meeting, the documentation evidencing such appointment should be produced prior to admission to the Meeting. A form of a certificate evidencing the appointment may be obtained from the Company.

  • ( Attending the Meeting ): Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual Shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish. Where a Shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that Shareholder is suspended while the Shareholder is present at the Meeting.

  • ( Return of Proxy Form ): To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:

  • (a) post to Advance Energy Ltd, Suite 2, 16 Ord Street, West Perth, WA, 6005, Australia; or

  • (b) facsimile to the Company on facsimile number +61 8 9486 1011,

so that it is received not less than 48 hours prior to commencement of the Meeting.

Proxy Forms received later than this time will be invalid.
