The above table is a statement of current intentions as of the date of the 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 Resolutions 1 to 3 – Ratification of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares and SPP Shares
2.1 General
Resolutions 1 and 2 seek ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 288,995,504 Shares under the Tranche 1 Placement. Of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares, 184,623,835 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 104,371,669 Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A.
Resolution 3 seeks ratification for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of up to 27,777,777 Shares under the SPP. The SPP Shares are to be issued under the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at its last annual general meeting held on Friday, 18 November 2022 ( AGM ).
2.2 Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions set out at Listing Rule 7.2, 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.
9
However, under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its shareholders, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares and SPP Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares and the SPP 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 treated to have been made with approval for the purposes of 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 ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares and SPP Shares.
2.4 Effect of Resolutions
If Resolutions 1 to 3 are passed, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares and SPP 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 and SPP Shares.
If Resolutions 1 to 3 are not passed, the Tranche 1 Placement Shares and SPP 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 and SPP Shares.

3 Resolution 4 to 8 – Approval to issue Tranche 2 Placement Shares
3.1 General
Resolutions 4 to 8 seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of an aggregate of 6,638,886 Shares to Directors Mr. David Siegel, Mr. Patrick Elliott, Mr. Richard Stoneburner, Mr. Fredrick Barrett and Mr. Joel Riddle under the Tranche 2 Placement. Further information in relation to the Tranche 2 Placement is set out in section 1.1 and in the table below.
| Related Party | Shares | Subscription Sum |
|---|---|---|
| David Siegel | 3,333,333 | $600,000 |
| Patrick Elliott | 1,388,888 | $250,000 |
| Richard Stoneburner | 1,388,888 | $250,000 |
| Fredrick Barrett | 250,000 | $45,000 |
| Joel Riddle | 277,777 | $50,000 |
| Total | 6,638,886 | $1,195,000 |
3.2 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,
12
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 Tranche 2 Placement Shares to Mr. David Siegel, Mr. Patrick Elliott, Mr. Richard Stoneburner, Mr. Fredrick Barrett and Mr. Joel Riddle involves the giving of a financial benefit by virtue of Mr David Siegel, Mr. Patrick Elliott, Mr. Richard Stoneburner, Mr. Fredrick Barrett and Mr. Joel Riddle being Directors of the Company.
Section 210 of the Corporations Act provides that shareholder approval under section 208 is not required if the financial benefit to be provided to the related party 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. Fredrick Barrett and Mr. Joel Riddle would participate in the Tranche 2 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. Fredrick Barrett and Mr. Joel Riddle who each have a material personal interest in Resolution 4 to 8 respectively) consider that the Tranche 2 Placement is reasonable in the circumstances and shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Tranche 2 Placement to Directors.
3.3 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.
The issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1, as Mr. David Siegel, Mr. Patrick Elliott, Mr. Richard Stoneburner, Mr. Fredrick Barrett and Mr. Joel Riddle are each a related party, and do 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 Tranche 2 Placement Shares for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
13
3.4 Effect of Resolutions
If Resolutions 4 to 8 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares within one month after the date of the General Meeting and the funds raised will be used in the manner set out in section 1.2.
As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Tranche 2 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 Tranche 2 Placement Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 25% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A.
If Resolutions 4 to 8 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares. In these circumstances, the Company will be unable to raise the funds that would have been raised through the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.
3.5 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 Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued to each of David Siegel (or his nominee), Patrick Elliott (or his nominee), Mr. Richard Stoneburner (or his nominee), Mr. Fredrick Barrett (or his nominee) and Mr. Joel Riddle (or his nominee) who fall within the category of a related party set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being Directors;

(b) the maximum number of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares to be issued is 6,638,886 Shares, comprising:

-
(c) the Tranche 2 Placement 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;
-
(d) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued on or around Friday 25 August 2023, and it is intended that the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will occur on or around the date of the General Meeting, but in any event, no later than 1 month after the date of the General Meeting;
-
(e) the issue price will be A$0.18 per Tranche 2 Placement Share, being the same issue price as Shares issued under to other participants in the Placement. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares;
-
(f) the purpose of the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares is to raise additional capital, which the Company intends to apply as set out in section 1.2;
14
-
(g) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares are not intended to remunerate or incentivise David Siegel, Patrick Elliott, Richard Stoneburner, Fredrick Barrett or Joel Riddle;
-
(h) the Tranche 2 Placement Shares are being issued in accordance with firm commitment letters entered into by David Siegel, Patrick Elliott, Richard Stoneburner, Fredrick Barrett and Joel Riddle on standard terms and conditions (the material term is that the issue is subject to Shareholder approval);
-
(i) the value of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares, based on the issue price of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares, is A$1,195,000.00. A breakdown of the value of the Tranche 2 Placement being issued to each of Mr. David Siegel (or his associates), Mr. Patrick Elliott (or his associates), Mr. Richard Stoneburner (or his associates), Mr. Fredrick Barrett (or his associates) and Mr. Joel Riddle (or his associates) is set out in section 3.1 above;
-
(j) the Directors (other than David Siegel, Patrick Elliott, Richard Stoneburner, Fredrick Barrett and Joel Riddle) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 4 to 8 as the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares to Mr. David Siegel, Mr. Patrick Elliott, Mr. Richard Stoneburner, Mr. Fredrick Barrett and Mr. Joel Riddle, are being proposed on the same basis as the issue of Shares under the Tranche 1 Placement; and
-
(k) as David Siegel, Patrick Elliott, Richard Stoneburner, Fredrick Barrett and Joel Riddle each have a material personal interest in the outcome of the relevant Resolution in Resolutions 4 to 8 that relates to them, on the basis that they (or their nominees) are to be issued Tranche 2 Placement Shares should that Resolution be passed, they do not believe that it is appropriate for any of them to make a recommendation on any of Resolutions 4 to 8.
4 Resolution 9 – Approval to issue Convertible Notes to H&P
4.1 General
Resolution 9 seeks Shareholder approval to issue 9,000,000 Convertible Notes to H&P.
Further information in relation to the Convertible Notes is set out in section 1.1 above. The material terms of the Convertible Notes are set out in Annexure A.
4.2 Listing Rule 7.1
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions set out at Listing Rule 7.2, 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.
The Convertible Notes are ‘equity securities’ of the Company for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
The proposed issue of the Convertible Notes is conditional on the Company obtaining shareholder approval and therefore falls within exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2 (being an agreement to issue equity securities that is conditional on the holders of the entity’s ordinary securities approving the issue under Listing Rule 7.1 before the issue is made). The issue of the Convertible Notes requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 because the maximum number of Shares that may be issued on conversion of the Convertible Notes will exceed the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Convertible Notes, as well as the issue of the Shares on conversion of the Convertible Note.
15
4.3 Effect of Resolutions
If Resolution 9 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Convertible Notes. In addition, the issue of the Convertible Notes will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Convertible Notes.
Further, if Resolution 9 is passed, because upfront Shareholder approval will have been obtained under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Convertible Notes, exception 9 to Listing Rule 7.2 will apply in respect of the issue of Shares on conversion of the Convertible Notes. Accordingly, no further Shareholder approval will be required for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 regardless of when the Convertible Notes are converted, and the Shares issued on conversion will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Convertible Notes.
If Resolution 9 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Convertible Notes. In these circumstances, the Company will be unable to raise the funds that would have been raised through the issue of the Convertible Notes.
4.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3 and ASX Guidance Note 21

‘Exchange Rate’ means $A1.00:US$0.6664

-
(h) up to a maximum of 64,311,438 Shares may be issued on conversion of the Convertible Notes if the Convertible Notes were converted based on:
-
(i) conversion occurring on the last day of the 5 year term of the Convertible Notes;

(n) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolution 9.
1 Note: the Interest Rate will increase to 10.0% on an Event of Default, however given that it is unlikely that an Event of Default will exist for the full 5 year term, the Company has presented this calculation of the maximum number of Shares to be issued on conversion based on an Interest Rate of 5.5% for the full 5 year term.
17
4.5 Worked examples of conversion of the Convertible Notes
In accordance with section 5.10 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the following worked examples of the conversion of the Convertible Notes are provided under four different ‘Current Market Prices’.
Each example is based on the following assumptions:
-
(a) conversion occurs on the day that is 12 months after the date of issue of the Convertible Notes;
-
(b) an aggregate Face Value of US$9,000,000;
-
(c) an Exchange Rate of $A1.00:US$0.6664; and
-
(d) an Interest Rate of 5.5% per annum and assuming all accrued interest amounts are capitalised.
Example 1 – Conversion at a Current Market Price of A$0.19:
As a ‘Current Market Price’ of A$0.19 is less than A$0.21, the ‘Conversion Price’ will be A$0.21 per Share.
The ‘$A equivalent of the Principal Outstanding plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon calculated using the Exchange Rate’ is determined as follows:
$A equivalent of the Principal Outstanding: US$9,000,000 / 0.6664 = A$13,505,402
Interest accrued: A$13,505,402 x 0.055 x 1 = A$742,797
Total: A$13,505,402 + A$742,797 = A$14,248,199
The number of Shares to be issued on conversion is then determined as follows:
A$14,248,199 = 67,848,567 A$0.21
Therefore a total of 67,848,567 Shares are issued on conversion of the Convertible Notes.
Example 2 – Conversion at a Current Market Price of $0.25:
As a ‘Current Market Price’ of A$0.25 is greater than A$0.21 and less than A$0.30, the ‘Conversion Price’ will be A$0.25 per Share.
The ‘$A equivalent of the Principal Outstanding plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon calculated using the Exchange Rate’ is determined as follows:
$A equivalent of the Principal Outstanding: US$9,000,000 / 0.6664 = A$13,505,402
Interest accrued: A$13,505,402 x 0.055 x 1 = A$742,797
Total: A$13,505,402 + A$742,797 = A$14,248,199
18
The number of Shares to be issued on conversion is then determined as follows:
A$14,248,199 = 56,992,796 A$0.25
Therefore a total of 56,992,796 Shares are issued on conversion of the Convertible Notes.
Example 3 – Conversion at a Current Market Price of A$0.38:
As a ‘Current Market Price’ of A$0.38 is greater than A$0.30, the ‘Conversion Price’ will be A$0.30 per Share.
The ‘$A equivalent of the Principal Outstanding plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon calculated using the Exchange Rate’ is determined as follows:
$A equivalent of the Principal Outstanding: US$9,000,000 / 0.6664 = A$13,505,402 Interest accrued: A$13,505,402 x 0.055 x 1 = A$742,797
Total: A$13,505,402 + A$742,797 = A$14,248,199
The number of Shares to be issued on conversion is then determined as follows:
A$14,248,199 = 47,493,997 A$0.30
Therefore a total of 47,493,997 Shares are issued on conversion of the Convertible Notes.
Example 4 – Conversion at a Current Market Price of A$0.095:
As a ‘Current Market Price’ of A$0.095 is less than A$0.21, the ‘Conversion Price’ will be A$0.21 per Share.
The ‘$A equivalent of the Principal Outstanding plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon calculated using the Exchange Rate’ is determined as follows:
$A equivalent of the Principal Outstanding: US$9,000,000 / 0.6664 = A$13,505,402
Interest accrued: A$13,505,402 x 0.055 x 1 = A$742,797
Total: A$13,505,402 + A$742,797 = A$14,248,199
The number of Shares to be issued on conversion is then determined as follows:
A$14,248,199 = 67,848,567 A$0.21
Therefore a total of 67,848,567 Shares are issued on conversion of the Convertible Notes.

4.6 Board Recommendation
The Board (with Mr Bell abstaining) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 9. The Chair of the General Meeting intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 9.
5 Resolution 10 – Approval to amend the Company’s Constitution
5.1 Overview
Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval under section 136 of the Corporations Act to amend the Company’s Constitution to increase the maximum number of Directors that is permitted under rule 6.1(a) of the Constitution to 9 Directors. Currently, the maximum permitted number of Directors is 7. There are currently 7 Directors.
Section 136 of the Corporations Act allows a company to:
-
(a) adopt a new constitution after registration; and
-
(b) modify or repeal its constitution, by passing a special resolution.
A special resolution requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
If Shareholder approval is not obtained in relation to Resolution 10, the current permitted maximum number of Directors will remain at 7.
If Resolution 10 is passed, the amendment to the Constitution will be effective from the close of the Meeting.
A copy of the amended Constitution will be available for review by Shareholders on the Company’s website at https://www.tamboran.com/announcements/. In accordance with section 139 of the Corporations Act, a copy of the amended Constitution can be sent to shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary at [email protected].
5.2 Proposed amendment
The Company seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of section 136(2) of the Corporations Act, and for all other purposes, to amend the Constitution as follows:
- (a) Appointment and Removal of Directors
amend rule 6.1(a) by deleting the number “7” and inserting the number “9” as underlined in text below:
The minimum number of directors is three. The maximum number of directors is 9 or such lower number as the directors determine, provided the directors have been authorised by the Company in general meeting to make such a determination if required under the Corporations Act. The directors must not determine a maximum which is less than the number of directors in office at the time the determination takes effect.
5.3 Purpose of amendment
Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval to amend the Company’s Constitution to increase the maximum number of Directors from 7 to 9 in order to accommodate the appointment of additional
20
Directors where the Board considers that additional director possesses skills, knowledge and experience which align with the Company’s strategic direction and skills matrix requirements.
5.4 Board Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 10. The Chair of the General Meeting intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 10.

ANNEXURE A – Material Terms of the Convertible Notes
| Material Terms | Summary of the Material Terms |
|---|---|
| Instrument | A direct, subordinated, unconditional and unsecured obligation of the Company in certificated form |
| Amount | Each Convertible Note will be issued at an issue price of US$1.00 and has a face value of US$1.00. |
| Number | 9,000,000 Convertible Notes will be issued. |
| Noteholder | H&P |
| Interest Rate | 5.5% per annum. Where there is an event of default, the interest rate will increase to 10.0% per annum for the duration of the event of default, or until the Convertible Notes are redeemed or converted. Interest will accrue daily (on a simple interest basis) on the principal outstanding of each Convertible Note at the interest rate per annum. Interest accruing on the principal outstanding of each Convertible Note will be paid quarterly and on the date of redemption or conversion, unless the Company elects as follows: (a) the value of the interest payable is capitalised and added to the principal outstanding on the date on which the capitalised amount would otherwise have been payable; or (b) the Company issues to the Noteholder such number of Shares calculated by dividing the amount of the interest payable by the Conversion Price. |
| Term | 5 years from the issue date |
| Security / Ranking | Unsecured and at all times ranking ahead of Shares, pari passu in right of payment with all other existing and future subordinated and unsecured obligations of the Company (other than where required by mandatory provisions of applicable laws) |
| Conversion Right | H&P will be entitled to require conversion of the Convertible Notes into Shares on a change of control event occurring or being likely to occur in respect of the Company. The Company will be entitled to require conversion of the Convertible Notes into Shares on a change of control event occurring or being likely to occur in respect of the Company, if H&P has not already required such conversion. |
24
| Conversion Price | The Conversion Price used to determine the number of Shares to be issued on conversion of the Convertible Notes will be equal to: (a) A$0.21 if the Current Market Price is less than A$0.21 per Share; (b) the Current Market Price if the Current Market Price is equal to or greater than A$0.21 per Share and equal to or less than A$0.30 per Share; or (c) A$0.30 if the Current Market Price is greater than A$0.30 per Share, where ‘Current Market Price’ means the average daily volume weighted price of Shares traded on ASX in the 5 trading days prior to the date on which the relevant Shares or Conversion Shares (as the case may be) are to be issued, but excluding any ‘Crossing’ transacted outside the ‘Open Session State’ or any ‘Special Crossing’ transacted at any time, each as defined in the ASX Operating Rules. The number of Shares to be issued on conversion of the Convertible Notes will be equal to: The $A equivalent of the Principal Outstanding plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon calculated using the Exchange Rate Conversion Price where: ‘Exchange Rate’ means $A1.00:US$0.664. ‘Face Value’ means US$1.00 per Convertible Note. ‘Principal Outstanding’ means the Face Value and any interest amounts capitalised. ‘Conversion Price’ has the meaning set out above. Where there is a reconstruction or reorganisation of the Shares, the Company will make corresponding and appropriate adjustments to the Conversion Price or the number Shares a Convertible Note converts into in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules. Where there is a pro rata issue the Conversion Price will be adjusted as provided for in ASX Listing Rule 6.22.2, and where there is a bonus issue the number Shares a Convertible Note converts into will be increased as provided for in ASX Listing Rule 6.22.3. |

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.
