-
(a) a placement of an aggregate of 657,214,193 Shares each at an issue price of A$0.21 to institutional, professional and sophisticated investors to raise up to a total of approximately A$138 million (before costs) ( Placemen t) to be completed in two tranches of:

The Company engaged the services of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC as lead manager to the Placement for the US offer also engaged the services of Cannacord Genuity (Australia) Limited
9
and Shaw and Partners Limited as joint lead managers to the Placement for the Australian offer (together, the Joint Lead Managers ).
Proceeds raised under the Equity Raising will be used to fund an acquisition by the Company of an interest in and operatorship of natural gas assets in the Beetaloo Sub-basin, the Company’s ongoing exploration and development programs in the Beetaloo Sub-basin, for general working capital purposes and for costs of the Equity Raising.
Refer to the Company’s ASX announcement of 20 September 2022 for further details of the Equity Raising.
The Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be issued on 26 September 2022.

The above table is a statement of current intentions as of the date of this Notice. As with any budget, intervening events (including exploration success or failure) and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way funds are applied on this basis.
2 RESOLUTION 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF TRANCHE 1 PLACEMENT SHARES
2.1 General
Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the 186,839,878 Shares under the Tranche 1 Placement. Further information in relation to the Tranche 1 Placement is set out in section 1 above.
Of that 112,103,927 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 1) and 74,735,951 Shares were issued pursuant to the
10
Company’s 7.1A mandate which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 8 December 2021 ( AGM ) (being the subject of Resolution 2).
2.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions set out at ASX Listing Rule 7.2, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the number 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.
However, under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the AGM.
The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
2.3 Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity 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 Listing Rule 7.1A and does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A.
Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
2.4 Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
2.5 Specific Information Required by Listing Rule 7.5
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5, information regarding Tranche 1 Placement Shares is provided as follows:
- (a) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to professional and sophisticated investors comprising existing Shareholders and new institutional and private investors identified by and who are clients of the Joint Lead Managers as part of the bookbuild process for the
11
Placement. The Joint Lead Managers sought expressions of interest to participate in the Placement from non-related parties of the Company. None of the participants are related parties of the Company or ‘material investors’ under ASX Guidance Note 21;
- (b)
the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were to be issued on the following basis:
-
(i) 112,103,927 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 1); and
-
(ii) 74,735,951 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 2); and
-
(c) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares are expected to be issued by the Company on Friday, 23 September 2022 and quoted on ASX on Monday, 26 September 2022 (and will be issued no later than three months after the date of the General Meeting);
-
(d) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares of the Company ranking equally with all other fully paid ordinary shares of the Company;
-
(e) the issue price was A$0.21 per Tranche 1 Placement Share under both the issue of shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares;
-
(f) the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to short form subscription letters pursuant to which subscribers under the Placement agreed to be issued Tranche 1 Placement Shares at an issue price of A$0.21 Tranche 1 Placement Share;
-
(g) the purpose of the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares was to raise approximately A$36 million (before costs), which will be used by the Company to fund an acquisition by the Company of an interest in and operatorship of natural gas assets in the Beetaloo Subbasin, the Company’s ongoing exploration and development programs in the Beetaloo Sub-basin, for general working capital purposes and for costs of the Equity Raising; and
-
(h) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolutions 1 - 2.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of up to 454,749,315 Shares under the Tranche 2 Placement to unrelated parties ( Unrelated T2 Placement Shares ). Further information in relation to the Tranche 2 Placement is set out in section 1 above.
3.2 Listing Rule 7.1
As summarised in section 2.2 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%
12
of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period. The proposed issue of the Unrelated T2 Placement Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the Company’s 25% limit under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 3 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue the Tranche 2 Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Unrelated T2 Placement Shares. In addition, the issue of the Unrelated T2 Placement 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 Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Unrelated T2 Placement Shares. In these circumstances, the Company will be unable to raise further funds that would otherwise have been raised through the issue of the Unrelated T2 Placement Shares.

4.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
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,
unless the giving of a financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The issue of the Related T2 Placement shares to Mr. David Siegel, Mr. Patrick Elliott, Mr. Richard Stoneburner, Mr. Fred Barrett and Mr. Daniel Chandra constitutes giving a financial benefit to a related party by virtue of Mr. David Siegel, Mr. Patrick Elliott, Mr. Richard Stoneburner, Mr. Fred Barrett and Mr. Daniel Chandra being Directors of the Company. A “financial benefit” is defined in the Corporations Act in broad terms and expressly includes a public company issuing securities. The giving of a financial benefit to a related party of a public company is ordinarily prohibited by Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
However, one relevant exception to the general rule 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). Because Mr. David Siegel, Mr. Patrick Elliott, Mr. Richard Stoneburner, Mr. Fred Barrett and Mr. Daniel Chandra would participate in the the Related T2 Placement on the same terms as those being offered to other capital raising participants, which was negotiated on arm’s length terms at the time, the Directors (other than Mr. David Siegel, Mr. Patrick Elliott, Mr. Richard Stoneburner, Mr. Fred Barrett and Mr. Daniel Chandra who each have a material personal interest in Resolution 5 to 8 respectively) consider that the Related T2 Placement is reasonable in the circumstances and shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Related T2 Placement to Directors.
4.3 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:
10.11.1 a related party;
-
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 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;
-
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.
15
The issue of the Related T2 Placement Shares 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.
Resolutions 4 to 8 seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Related T2 Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
4.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolutions 4 to 8 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Related T2 Placement Shares within one month after the date of the General Meeting and will raise additional funds to be used in the manner set out in section 1.
As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Related T2 Placement Shares (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11 and falls within Exception 14 of Listing Rule 7.2), the issue of the Related T2 Placement Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 25% annual placement capacity.
If Resolutions 4 to 8 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Related T2 Placement Shares and no further funds will be raised in respect of the Tranche 2 Placement.
4.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13
In accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 4 to 8:
-
(a) the Related T2 Placement Shares will be issued to David Siegel (or his nominee), Patrick Elliott (or his nominee), Mr. Richard Stoneburner (or his nominee), Mr. Fred Barrett (or his nominee) and Mr. Daniel Chandra (or his nominee) who fall within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being Directors;
-
(b) the maximum number of the Related T2 Placement Shares to be issued is 15,625,000 Shares, comprising:

16

-
(f) the purpose of the issue of the Related T2 Placement Shares is to raise capital, which the Company intends to apply as set out in section 1;
-
(g) the Related T2 Placement Shares are not intended to remunerate or incentivise David Siegel, Patrick Elliott, Richard Stoneburner, Fred Barrett or Daniel Chandra;
-
(h) the Related T2 Placement Shares are being issued in accordance with firm commitment letters entered into by David Siegel, Patrick Elliott, Dick Stoneburner, Fred Barrett and Daniel Chandra on standard terms and conditions (the material term is that the issue is subject to shareholder approval);
-
(i) the value of the Related T2 Placement Shares, based on the issue price of the Related T2 Placement Shares, is A$0.21 and a breakdown of the value of the Related T2 Placement being issued to Mr. David Siegel (or his associates), Mr. Patrick Elliott (or his associates), Mr. Richard Stoneburner (or his associates), Mr. Fred Barrett (or his associates) and Mr. Daniel Chandra (or his associates) is set out in section 4.1 above;
-
(j) the Directors (other than David Siegel, Patrick Elliott, Richard Stoneburner, Fred Barrett and Daniel Chandra) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 4 to 8 as the issue of the Related T2 Placement Shares to Mr. Siegel, Mr. Patrick Elliott, Mr. Richard Stoneburner, Mr. Fred Barrett and Mr. Daniel Chandra, are being proposed on the same basis as the issue of shares to unrelated parties under the Tranche 2 Placement; and
-
(k) as David Siegel, Patrick Elliott, Richard Stoneburner, Fred Barrett and Daniel Chandra each have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 4 to 8 on the basis that they (or their nominees) are to be issued Related T3 Placement Shares should Resolutions 4 to 8 be passed, they do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on Resolutions 4 to 8 of this Notice.

If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chair of the Meeting will be your proxy. A proxy need not be a securityholder of the company. Do not write the name of the issuer company or the registered securityholder in the space.
Appointment of a Second Proxy
You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by contacting the company’s securities registry or you may copy this form.

All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of securities are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number that you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item for all your securities your vote on that item will be invalid.
