Shareholders who have appointed an attorney or corporate representative to attend and vote at the Meeting should ensure that their attorney or corporate representative attends the meeting on the date and at the place set out above. A person attending as an attorney should bring the original power of attorney or a certified copy, unless you have already provided a certified copy of the power of attorney to the company (by post or in person) at Unit 202, Level 2, Echelon Building, 39 Mends Street, South Perth Western Australia 6151, or the Company’s share registrar, Automic (by post) at GPO Box 5193 Sydney, New South Wales 2001 or (in person) at Level 5, 126 Phillip Street, Sydney, New South Wales 2000. A person attending as a representative of a corporate Shareholder must present satisfactory evidence of his or her appointment to attend on behalf of that Shareholder, unless previously lodged with the company (by post or in person) at Unit 202, Level 2, Echelon Building, 39 Mends Street, South Perth Western Australia 6151, or the Company’s share registrar, Automic (by post) at GPO Box 5193 Sydney, New South Wales 2001 or (in person) at Level 5, 126 Phillip Street, Sydney, New South Wales 2000.

VOTING BY PROXY OTHER THAN ONLINE

A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the company.

To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return it by:

  • (a) post to Automic GPO Box 5193 Sydney, New South Wales 2001 using the reply paid envelope included with this notice of meeting;

  • (b) fax to Automic on +02 8583 3040 from within Australia or +61 2 8583 3040 from overseas; or

  • (c) post to company's registered office at Unit 202, Level 2, Echelon Building, 39 Mends Street, South Perth Western Australia 6151,

2

in each case so that they are received by no later than 48 hours prior to the meeting being 10:00am (WST) on Tuesday, 23 November 2021. Proxy forms received after this time will be invalid. Alternatively, shareholders may lodge their proxy voting instructions online before such time in accordance with the section below headed “Voting and Lodgement of Proxy Voting Instructions Online”.

A shareholder entitled to cast two or more votes on a resolution may appoint not more than two proxies. Each proxy will have the right to vote on the resolution to be put to the meeting and also to speak at the meeting. The appointment of a proxy may specify the proportion or the number of votes that the proxy may exercise. Where more than one proxy is appointed and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the shareholder's votes each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half of the votes.

If a proxy is not directed how to vote on any item of business, the proxy may vote or abstain from voting, as that person thinks fit. If a proxy is instructed to abstain from voting on an item of business, that person is directed not to vote on the Shareholder's behalf on the poll, and the shares the subject of the proxy appointment will not be counted in computing the required majority.

Shareholders who return their proxy form(s) with a direction how to vote but do not nominate the identity of their proxy will be taken to have appointed the chairman of the meeting as their proxy to vote on their behalf. If a proxy form is returned without a direction how to vote but the nominated proxy does not attend the meeting, the chairman of the meeting will act in place of the nominated proxy and may vote or abstain from voting as he thinks fit. If a proxy form is returned with a direction how to vote on a particular resolution but the nominated proxy does not attend the meeting or the nominated proxy does not vote on the resolution, the chairman of the meeting will act in place of the nominated proxy and vote in accordance with the direction.

If you complete and return a proxy form, you may still attend the meeting in person, revoke the proxy and vote at the meeting.

VOTING AND LODGEMENT OF PROXY VOTING INSTRUCTIONS ONLINE

Shareholders are encouraged to lodge their proxy voting instructions online by:

  • visiting https://investor.automic.com.au/#/loginsah and submitting proxy voting instructions. To submit proxy voting instructions, shareholders will need their Securityholder Reference Number ( SRN ) or their Holder Identification Number ( HIN ) and their allocated Control Number, as shown on their Proxy Form; or

  • using their smartphone to scan the QR Code that appears on their Proxy Form, and following the instructions provided. To scan the code, shareholders will need to download a free QR Code reader app to their smartphone. Once scanned, the QR Code will take shareholders to the relevant website for submitting proxy voting instructions online.

Please refer to the enclosed Proxy Form for more information in regards to submitting proxy voting instructions online.

A proxy cannot be appointed electronically if they are appointed under a power of attorney or similar authority. Additionally, the online proxy facility may not be suitable for shareholders who wish to appoint two proxies with different voting directions.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE MEETING

In light of the easing of restrictions on gatherings in Western Australia, it is currently anticipated that the Meeting will be held in person (and not by virtual means). The Company has taken steps to ensure that all attendees will be able to participate in the Meeting while maintaining their health and safety and abiding by social distancing requirements.

Shareholders do not need to attend the Meeting in order to cast their vote(s). The Company therefore recommends that Shareholders who do not wish to attend the Meeting in person, but who wish to vote,

3

appoint the Chairman as their proxy (and where desired, direct the Chairman how to vote on a Resolution) rather than attending in person.

If the Meeting cannot be held in person, the Company will make additional arrangements as required.

This Explanatory Memorandum includes the following information to assist Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolution.

2.

Action to be taken by Shareholders

Shareholders should read the Notice and this Explanatory Memorandum carefully before deciding how to vote on the Resolutions.

3. Annual Report

In accordance with section 317 of the Corporations Act, Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to discuss the Annual Report, including the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2021, the Directors' Report, and the Auditor's Report.

There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve the Annual Report.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to:

  • a) discuss the Annual Report which is available online at https://www.tanami.com.au

  • b) ask questions about, or comment on, the management of the Company; and

  • c) ask the auditor questions about the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report, accounting policies adopted by the Company and the independence of the auditor.

In addition to taking questions at the Meeting, written questions to the Company’s auditor about:

  • a) the content of the Auditor’s Report; and

  • b) the conduct of the audit,

may be submitted no later than 5 business days before the Meeting to the Company Secretary at the Company's registered office.

Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

In accordance with subsection 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors’ Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for the Executive Directors, specified executives and Non-Executive Directors.

7

Section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act expressly provides that the vote on the Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. The Board will however take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing the remuneration practices and policies of the Company.

However, if at least 25% of the votes cast are against adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put a resolution to the second Annual General Meeting ( Spill Resolution ), to approve calling a general meeting ( Spill Meeting ). If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must then convene a Spill Meeting within 90 days of the second Annual General Meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the applicable Directors’ Report was approved, other than the Managing Director, will need to stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting if they wish to continue as Directors.

The Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 did not receive a vote of more than 25% against its adoption at the Company’s last annual general meeting held on 25 November 2020. Accordingly, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are against adoption of the Remuneration Report it will not result in the Company putting a Spill Resolution to Shareholders at the annual general meeting to be held on 25 November 2021.

If you choose to appoint a proxy you are encouraged to direct your proxy how to vote on Resolution by marking either “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” on the proxy form for this item of business.

The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.

Given the material personal interests of all Directors in this Resolution, the Board makes no recommendation to Shareholders regarding this Reso.

If you appoint the Chair as your proxy, and you do not direct the Chair on how to vote on Resolution 1, then by signing and returning the proxy form you are giving express authorisation for the Chair to vote in accordance with his or her intentions. The Chair intends to vote all undirected proxies “For” Resolution 1 even though the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the key management personnel.

Voting Exclusion

Note that a voting exclusion applies to Resolution 1 in the terms set out in the Notice.
