4.1 General
In accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report for the year ended 30 June 2025 in the 2025 Annual 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.
In accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.
If the Company's Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more ( Strike ) at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board, except the managing director (if any).
Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director, if any) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.
The Company's Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the 2024 annual general meeting held on 29 November 2024. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at the 2025 annual general meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.
The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.

Given the personal interests of all Directors in the outcome of this Resolution, the Board declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders regarding this Resolution.

The Board (other than Mr Douglas Solomon who has a personal interest in the outcome of this Resolution) supports the election of Mr Solomon. Mr Solomon’s significant experience as a barrister and solicitor particularly in mining will continue to enhance the Board’s capability.

Resolution 3 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility
6.1 General
Listing Rule 7.1A enables an eligible entity to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12-month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval to provide the Company with the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period (refer to Section 6.2(f) below). The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 6.2(c) below).
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval in Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less.
The Company is an eligible entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of approximately $8.94 million, based on the closing price of Shares $0.032 on 27 October 2025.
(b) What Equity Securities can be issued?
Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the eligible entity.

(c) How many Equity Securities can be issued?
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that under the approved 10% Placement Facility, the Company may issue or agree to issue a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
Where:
-
A = is the number of Shares on issue at the commencement of the Relevant Period:
-
(A) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the Relevant Period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;
-
(B) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the Relevant Period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:
-
(1) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the Relevant Period; or
-
(2) the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4;
-
-
(C) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the Relevant Period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

Page 15
-
(2) the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4;

(D) plus the number of partly paid Shares that became fully paid Shares in the Relevant Period;
-
(E) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the Relevant Period with approval under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4; and
-
(F) less the number of fully paid Shares cancelled in the Relevant Period.
Note that ‘A’ has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.
-
D = is 10%.
-
E = is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue, where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4.
(d) What is the interaction with Listing Rule 7.1?
The Company’s ability to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A will be in addition to its 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
(e)
At what price can the Equity Securities be issued?
Any Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be issued for a cash consideration per Equity Security which is not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph 6.2(c)(i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued, ( Minimum Issue Price ).
(f) When can Equity Securities be issued?
Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A will be valid from the date of the Meeting and will expire on the earlier of:
-
(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the Meeting;
-
(ii) the time and date of the Company's next annual general meeting; or
-
(iii) the time and date of Shareholder approval of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),
Page 16
( 10% Placement Period ).
(g) What is the effect of Resolution 3?
The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Company to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without further Shareholder approval or using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
6.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in relation to the 10% Placement Facility:
- (a) Final date for issue
The Company will only issue the Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period (refer to Section 6.2(f) above).
(b) Minimum issue price
Where the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, it will only do so for cash consideration and the issue price will be not less than the Minimum Issue Price (refer to Section 6.2(e) above).
(c) Purposes of issues under the 10% Placement Facility
The Company may seek to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility for the purposes of raising funds for continued investment in the Company's current projects, the acquisition of new assets or investments (including expenses associated with such an acquisition), and/or for general working capital.
(d) Risk of economic and voting dilution
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
If this Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' economic and voting power in the Company may be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of Options, only if the Options are converted into Shares).
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders based on the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares for Variable 'A' calculated in
Page 17
accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (see Section 6.2(c) above) as at the date of this Notice ( Variable A ), with:
-
(i) two examples where Variable A has increased, by 50% and 100%; and
-

Notes:
-
The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
(a) The issue price is the current market price $0.032, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 27 October 2025, being the latest practicable date before this Notice was signed.
-
(b) Variable A comprises of 279,352,749 existing Shares on issue as at the date of this Meeting, assuming the Company has not issued any Shares in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4.
-
(c) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
-
(d) No convertible securities (including any issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised or converted into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities.
-
(e) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options, it is assumed that those quoted Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.
Page 18
- The number of Shares on issue (i.e. Variable A) may increase as a result of issues of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue, scrip issued under a takeover offer or upon exercise of convertible securities) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting.
The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued Share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.
The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
(e) Allocation policy
The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
(i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing Shareholders can participate;
-
(ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iii) financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
-
(iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new investors who are not related parties of or associates of a related party of the Company.
(f) Issues in the past 12 months
The Company has previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 29 November 2024.
In the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting and as at the date of this Notice, the Company has issued the following Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A:

At the date of this Notice, the Company is not proposing to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A and has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in any such issue.
However, in the event that between the date of this Notice and the date of the Meeting, the Company proposes to make an issue of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A to one or more existing Shareholders, those Shareholders' votes will be excluded under the voting exclusion statement in the Notice.
6.4 Additional information
Resolution 3 is a special resolution and therefore 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).
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
7. Resolution 4 – Ratification of issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares
7.1
General
On 21 October 2025, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments for a placement to raise $2 million (before costs) by the issue of 160,000,000 Shares ( Placement Shares ) at an issue price of $0.0125 each ( Placement ). The Placement Shares will include 1 free attaching Option for every 2 Placement Shares subscribed for and issued under the Placement, exercisable at $0.02 each and expiring on 14 June 2028 ( Placement Options ).
The Placement is comprised of the following:
-
(a) 68,000,000 Shares ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ) issued to unrelated parties on 27 October 2025, comprised of:
-
(i) 40,064,725 Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 capacity (the subject of Resolution 4(a)); and
-
(ii) 27,935,275 Tranche 1 Placement Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A capacity the subject of Resolution 4(b)).
-
(b) 92,000,000 Shares proposed to be issued subject to Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ) (the subject of Resolution 5); and
-
(c) 80,000,000 Placement Options proposed to be issued to participants in the Placement subject to Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (the subject of Resolution 6).
Peak Asset Management Pty Ltd ( Lead Manager ) acted as lead manager to the Placement. As partial consideration for the provision of lead manager services provided in connection with
Page 20
the Placement, the Company has agreed to issue the Lead Manager (or its nominee) 40,000,00 Options ( Lead Manager Options ) on the same terms and conditions as the Placement Options (the subject of Resolution 7).
Resolution 4(a) and (b) seek the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
7.2 Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, 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% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A however, 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 this approval at its 2024 annual general meeting.
The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A. This reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under those Listing Rules for the 12month period following the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
Listing Rule 7.4 provides an exception to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. It provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
If Resolution 4(a) is passed, 27,935,275 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 4(a) is not passed, 27,935,275 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 27,935,275 Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the issue of those Tranche 1 Placement Shares
If Resolution 4(b) is passed, 40,064,725 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 4(b) is not passed, 40,064,725 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 40,064,725 Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the issue of those Tranche 1 Placement Shares (and assuming the Company's approval under Listing Rule 7.1A remains in force for this period).
Page 21
The Company confirms that Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A were not breached at the time the Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued.

Resolution 8, Resolution 9 and Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of up to 12,055,709 Director Shares to the Directors (or their respective nominees), in lieu of Directors’ fees for during the Relevant Period and for the partial repayment of outstanding Director Loans.
11.2 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 any of the following persons without the approval of its Shareholders:
-
(a) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);
-
(b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (30%+) in the company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);
-
(c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (10%+) 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 (Listing Rule 10.11.3);
-
(d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or
-
(e) a person whose relation with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1 or 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5).
Mr Guy Le Page, Mr Gregory Solomon and Mr Douglas Solomon are each a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director. Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is therefore required unless an exception applies. It is the view of the Board that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Shares as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of the Director Shares to the Directors (or their respective nominees) will not be included in the Company's 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 8, Resolution 9 and Resolution 10 will be to allow the Company to issue the Director Shares to the Directors (or their respective nominees) in lieu of Director fees and/or the repayment of loans owing by the Company to the Directors.
If Resolution 8, Resolution 9 and Resolution 10 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Shares and will have to pay the Directors’ fees and settle outstanding loans to Director related entities in cash using its available cash reserves.
11.3

Section 195(1) of the Corporations Act prohibits the director of a public company who has a material personal interest in a matter that is being considered at a meeting of directors from being present while the matter is being considered at the meeting or voting on the matter. If there is not a quorum of directors who are eligible to vote on a matter because of the operation of section 195(1) of the Corporations Act, one or more directors may call a general meeting and the general meeting may deal with the matter.
All of the Company’s Directors have a personal interest in the outcome of either Resolution 8, Resolution 9 and Resolution 10 and have exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put the issue of the Director Shares to Shareholders to resolve.
11.6
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:
-
(h) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in section 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(i) 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 Directors (other than Guy Le Page in relation to Resolution 8, Gregory Solomon in relation to Resolution 9 and Douglas Solomon in relation to Resolution 10, each of whom have a personal interest in the outcome of their respective Resolutions), consider that the issue of the Director Shares falls within the reasonable remuneration exception under section 211 of the Corporations Act and accordingly Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required.

12. Resolution 11 – Approval of issue of Consultant Shares

The Company has engaged Access Investing Pty Ltd (trading as Access Corp) ( Consultant ) as a consultant of the Company to provide chief financial officer ( CFO ) and company secretarial services to the Company. Mr Brett Tucker is the nominated person appointed by the Consultant.
In consideration for the CFO and company secretarial services provided by Mr Tucker, the Company has agreed to pay the Consultant $6,000 excluding GST per month.
The Company has agreed to issue 3,432,000 Shares ( Consultant Shares ) to the Consultant (or its nominee), in lieu of consultancy fees accrued by the Consultant periodically from 27 November 2024 to 30 September 2025.

12.2 Listing Rule 7.1

The proposed issue of up to 3,432,000 Consultant Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 11 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of up to 3,432,000 Consultant Shares. In addition, the issue of these Consultant Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 11 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Consultant Shares and will have to pay the consultancy fees in cash using its available cash reserves.

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Consultant Shares:

12.4 Additional information
Resolution 11 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 11.
13. Resolution 12 – Approval of Employee Securities Incentive Plan
13.1 General
Resolution 12 seeks Shareholders approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled ‘Tasman Resources Ltd Employee Securities Incentive Plan’ ( New Plan ) in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 exception 13(b).
The Company considers that it is desirable to adopt an employee incentive scheme pursuant to which the Company can issue Equity Securities to attract, motivate and retain key Directors, employees and consultants and provide them with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company. The Company also intends to issue Securities under the New Plan to employees to satisfy existing salary liabilities to those employees.
Under the New Plan, the Board may offer to eligible persons the opportunity to subscribe for such number of Equity Securities in the Company as the Board may decide and on the terms set out in the rules of the New Plan, a summary of the key terms and conditions of which is in Schedule 3. In addition, a copy of the New Plan is available for review by Shareholders at the registered office of the Company until the date of the Meeting. A copy of the New Plan can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary. Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.
13.2
Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.2, Exception 13(b)
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is in Section 7.1 above.
Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13(b), provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 such that issues of Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme are exempt for a period of three years from the date on which Shareholders approve the issue of Equity Securities under the scheme as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 12 is passed, the Company will be able to issue up to a maximum of 82,000,000 Equity Securities under the New Plan pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13(b), to eligible participants over a period of three years without using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
However, any future issues of Equity Securities under the New Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX's opinion, such
Page 32
that approval should be obtained will require additional Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time.
If Resolution 12 is not passed, any issue of Equity Securities pursuant to the New Plan would need to be made either with Shareholder approval or, in default of Shareholder approval, pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
13.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b)
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13(b), the following information is provided in relation to the New Plan:

-
(b) Shareholders approved the Company’s existing incentive plan under Listing Rule 7.2, exception 13(b) at the annual general meeting on 26 November 2020 ( Existing Plan ). The following Equity Securities have been issued under the Existing Plan:

-

13.4 Additional information
Resolution 12 is an ordinary resolution.
In the interests of good governance, the Directors (who are all eligible to participate in the New Plan) abstain from making a recommendation on Resolution 12.
14. Resolution 13 – Approval of potential termination benefits under the New Plan
14.1 General
The Corporations Act contains certain limitations concerning the payment of 'termination benefits' to persons who hold a 'managerial or executive office'. The Listing Rules also provide certain limitations on the payment of “termination benefits” to officers of listed entities.
As is common with employee incentive schemes, the New Plan provides the Board with the discretion to, amongst other things, determine that some or all of the Equity Securities granted to a participant under the New Plan ( Plan Securities ) will not lapse in the event of that participant ceasing their engagement with the Company before such Plan Securities have vested. This 'accelerated vesting' of Plan Securities may constitute a 'termination benefit' prohibited under the Corporations Act, regardless of the value of such benefit, unless
Page 33
Shareholder approval is obtained. Accordingly, the Board has resolved to seek Shareholder approval for the granting of such termination benefits in accordance with Resolution 13.
For the avoidance of any doubt, the approval granted pursuant to this Resolution shall end upon the expiry of all Securities issued or to be issued under the New Plan and regardless of whether the cap approved by Shareholders under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b) (the subject of Resolution 12) expires, is exceeded or re-refreshed from time to time.
14.2 Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act
Under section 200B of the Corporations Act, a company may only give a person a benefit in connection with them ceasing to hold a 'managerial or executive office' (as defined in the Corporations Act) if an exemption applies or if the benefit is approved by shareholders in accordance with section 200E of the Corporations Act.
Shareholder approval is sought for the purposes of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act to approve the giving of benefits under the New Plan to a person by the Company in connection with that person ceasing to be an officer of, or ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office in, the Company (or subsidiary of the Company) on the terms and conditions in this Explanatory Memorandum.
As noted above, under the terms of the New Plan and subject to the Listing Rules, the Board possesses the discretion to vary the terms or conditions of the New Plan Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the participant in the New Plan, no amendment may be made to the terms of any granted Plan Security which reduces the rights of the participant in respect of that Plan Security, other than an amendment introduced primarily to comply with legislation, to correct any manifest error or mistake or to take into consideration possible adverse tax implications.
As a result of the above discretion, the Board has the power to determine that some or all of a participant's Plan Securities will not lapse and to vest if the participant ceases employment, engagement or office with the Company before the vesting of their Plan Securities. Examples of the circumstances when the Board may decide to exercise its discretion to permit some or all of the New Plan Securities to vest include where a Participant becomes a leaver due to death, redundancy, permanent disability, mental incapacity or retirement. These examples are not exhaustive.
The exercise of this discretion by the Board may constitute a 'benefit' for the purposes of section 200B of the Corporations Act. The Company is therefore seeking Shareholder approval for the exercise of the Board's discretion in respect of any current or future participant in the New Plan who holds:
-
(a) a managerial or executive office in, or is an officer of, the Company (or subsidiary of the Company) at the time of their leaving or at any time in the three years prior to their leaving; and
-
(b) Plan Securities at the time of their leaving.
14.3 Value of the termination benefits
Provided Shareholder approval is given, the value of the termination benefits may be disregarded when applying section 200F(2)(b) or section 200G(1)(c) of the Corporations Act (i.e. the approved benefit will not count towards the statutory cap under the legislation).
Page 34
The value of the termination benefits that the Board may give under the New Plan cannot be determined in advance. This is because various matters will or are likely to affect that value. In particular, the value of a particular benefit will depend on factors such as the Company's Share price at the time of vesting and the number of Plan Securities that will vest or otherwise be affected. The following additional factors may also affect the benefit's value:
-
(a) the participant's length of service and the status of the vesting conditions attaching to the relevant Plan Securities at the time the participant's employment or office ceases; and
-
(b) the number of unvested Plan Securities that the participant holds at the time they cease employment or office.
Listing Rule 10.19 relevantly provides that without shareholder approval, an entity must ensure that no officer of the entity or any of its child entities will be, or may be, entitled to termination benefits if the value of those benefits and the termination benefits that are or may become payable to all officers together exceed 5% of the equity interest of the entity, as set out in the latest accounts given to ASX under the Listing Rules.
In accordance with Listing Rule 10.19, the Company will ensure that no officer of the Company or any of its child entities will, or may be, entitled to termination benefits if the value of those benefits and the terminations benefits that are or may be payable to all officers together exceed 5% of the equity interests of the Company as set out in the latest accounts given to ASX under the Listing Rules.
14.4 Board recommendation
Resolution 13 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board declines to make a recommendation in relation to Resolution 13 due to their potential personal interests in the outcome of the Resolution.
15. Resolution 14(a) to (c) – Approval to issue Director Performance Rights
- 15.1 General
The Company is proposing, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue up to a total of 31,500,000 Performance Rights ( Director Performance Rights ) under the New Plan as follows:
-
(a) up to 12,000,000 Performance Rights to Gregory Solomon;
-
(b) up to 12,000,000 Performance Rights to Douglas Solomon; and
-
(c) up to 12,000,000 Performance Rights to Louis Varrasso,
-
(or to their respective nominees) (together, the Participating Directors
The Director Performance Rights issued to each of the Participating Directors (or their respective nominees) will be divided into the following three tranches:
Page 35
| Tranche | No. of Director Performance Rights |
Vesting Conditions | Expiry Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 12,000,000 | Performance Rights will vest upon the Company achieving a volume weighted average price of Shares over 5 consecutive trading days (5-Day VWAP) of at least $0.025. |
2 years from date of issue |
| B | 12,000,000 | Performance Rights will vest upon the Company achieving a 5-Day VWAP of Shares of at least $0.03. |
2 years from date of issue |
| C | 12,000,000 | Performance Rights will vest upon the Company achieving a 5-Day VWAP of Shares of at least $0.04. |
2 years from date of issue |
Refer to Schedule 5 for a summary of the maximum number of Director Performance Rights that will be issued to each Participating Director tranche.
The Company is in an important stage of development with significant opportunities and challenges in both the near and long-term, and the proposed issue of the Director Performance Rights aims to align the efforts of the Participating Directors in seeking to achieve growth of the Company’s projects and in the creation of Shareholder value.
The Board believes that the issue of these Director Performance Rights will further align the interests of the Participating Directors with those of the Company and its Shareholders. In addition, the Board also believes that incentivising and remunerating with Performance Rights is a prudent means of conserving the Company’s available cash reserves. The Board believes it is important to offer these Director Performance Rights to continue to attract and maintain highly experienced and qualified Board members in a competitive market.
Resolution 14(a) to (c) (inclusive) seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.14 and section 195(4) of the Corporations Act for the issue of Director Performance Rights to the Participating Directors (or their respective nominee/s) under the New Plan.
15.2 Listing Rule 10.14
Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of its Shareholders:
-
(a) a director of the entity (Listing Rule 10.14.1);
-
(b) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 (Listing Rule 10.14.2); and
-
(c) a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by shareholders.
Messrs Gregory Solomon and Doug Solomon are each a Director of the Company and therefore fall within the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.14.1. Mr Louis Varrasso will be appointed to the Board shortly after the Meeting and will be a Director at the time the Director Performance Rights are to be issued. Therefore, Mr Varrasso falls within the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.14.1 by virtue of being a Director at the time of issue.
Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Performance Rights as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14. Accordingly, the issue of the
Page 36
Director Performance Rights to each of the Participating Directors (or their respective nominee/s) will not be included in the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity in Listing Rule 7.1.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 14(a) to (c) (inclusive) will be to allow the Company to issue the Director Performance Rights to the Participating Directors (or their respective nominees).
If Resolution 14(a) to (c) (inclusive) is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Performance Rights, and the Company will have to consider alternative commercial means to incentivise its Participating Directors.
15.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.15
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Director Performance Rights:
-
(a) The Director Performance Rights will be issued under the New Plan to Gregory Solomon, Douglas Solomon and Louis Varrasso (or their respective nominees).

Mr Louis Varrasso will be appointed to the Board shortly after the Meeting, and will be a Director at the time the Director Performance Rights are to be issued. Therefore, Mr Varrasso falls within the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.14.1 by virtue of being a Director at the time of issue of the Director Performance Rights.
In the event the Director Performance Rights are issued to a nominee of the Participating Directors, that person will fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.14.2.
-
(c) A maximum of 31,500,000 Director Performance Rights will be issued to the Participating Directors (or their respective nominee/s) in the proportions set out at Section 15.1 above.

Section 195(1) of the Corporations Act prohibits the director of a public company who has a material personal interest in a matter that is being considered at a meeting of directors from being present while the matter is being considered at the meeting or voting on the matter. If there is not a quorum of directors who are eligible to vote on a matter because of the operation of section 195(1) of the Corporations Act, one or more directors may call a general meeting and the general meeting may deal with the matter.
All of the Company’s Directors (aside from Mr Guy Le Page) have a personal interest in the outcome of either Resolution 14(a) to (c) (inclusive) and have exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put the issue of the Director Performance Rights (the subject of this Resolution 14(a) to (c)) and to Shareholders to resolve.
15.5 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:
-
(a) obtain Shareholder approval 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 a financial benefit falls within an exception set out in section 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The proposed issue of the Director Performance Rights to the Participating Directors constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company.
The Directors (other than Gregory Solomon in relation to Resolution 14(a) and Douglas Solomon in relation to Resolution 14(b), each of whom have a personal interest in the outcome of their respective Resolutions), consider that the grant of the Director Performance Rights falls within the reasonable remuneration exception under section 211 of the Corporations Act and accordingly Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required.
15.6 Board recommendation
Resolution 14(a) to (c) (inclusive) are separate ordinary resolutions and are not inter-conditional.
Mr Guy Le Page (being the only Director not having a person interest in the outcome of these Resolutions) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 14(a) to (c) (inclusive).
16. Resolution 15– Approval for Change of Auditor
16.1 General
The Board resolved to appoint Stantons International Audit and Consulting Pty Ltd ( Stantons ) as the Company’s auditor based on the firm’s reputation and experience. Stantons is a registered company auditor, has had previous experience in conducting audits of public companies (listed and unlisted), and is a well-known and respected firm.
Page 39
As a consequence, Nexia Perth Audit Services Pty Ltd ( Nexia ) have applied under section 329(5) of the Corporations Act for ASIC’s consent to resign as auditor of the Company.
As at the date of this Notice, ASIC has not consented to the resignation of Nexia as the Company’s auditor. Accordingly, the appointment of Stantons as auditor of the Company will become effective from the later date of the date this Resolution is passed (subject to Shareholders approving this Resolution 15) and the date on which ASIC gives its consent ( Effective Date ).
Under section 327B(1)(b) of the Corporations Act, the Company must appoint an auditor to fill any vacancy in the office of auditor at each annual general meeting.
The Company does not believe that the audit quality will be diminished as a result of changing auditors.
Stantons has given its written consent to act as the Company's auditor pursuant to section 328A(1) of the Corporations Act. As at the date of this Notice, Stantons has not withdrawn that consent.
The Company has received written notice of nomination from a member of the Company for Stantons to be appointed as the Company's auditor, in accordance with section 328B of the Corporations Act. A copy of the notice of nomination is attached to this Notice at Schedule 6.
Accordingly, Resolution 15 seeks the approval of shareholders to appoint Stantons as the Company’s auditor with effect from the Effective Date.
16.2 Additional information
Resolution 15 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 15.

Schedule 3 Summary of material terms of New Plan
The following is a summary of the material terms and conditions of the New Plan:
-
( Eligible Participant ): Eligible Participant means a person that has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the New Plan from time to time and is an “ESS participant” (as that term is defined in Division 1A) in relation to the Company or an associated entity of the Company. This relevantly includes, amongst others:
-
(a) an employee or director of the Company or an individual who provides services to the Company;
-
(b) an employee or director of an associated entity of the Company or an individual who provides services to such an associated entity;
-
(c) a prospective person to whom paragraphs (a) or (b) apply;
-
(d) a person prescribed by the relevant regulations for such purposes; or
-
(e) certain related persons on behalf of the participants described in paragraphs (a) to (d) (inclusive).
-
( Maximum allocation ) The Company must not make an offer of Securities under the New Plan in respect of which monetary consideration is payable (either upfront, or on exercise of convertible securities) where:
-
(a) the total number of Plan Shares (as defined in paragraph 13 below) that may be issued or acquired upon exercise of the convertible securities offered; plus
-
(b) the total number of Plan Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of offers made under the New Plan at any time during the previous 3-year period,
would exceed 5% of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the offer or such other limit as may be specified by the relevant regulations or the Company’s Constitution from time to time.
The maximum number of equity securities proposed to be issued under the New Plan for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13 will be as approved by Shareholders from time to time ( ASX Limit ). This means that, subject to the following paragraph, the Company may issue up to the ASX Limit under the New Plan without seeking Shareholder approval and without reducing its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company will require prior Shareholder approval for the acquisition of equity securities under the New Plan to Directors, their associates and any other person whose relationship with the Company or a Director or a Director’s associate is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by Shareholders.
-
( Purpose ): The purpose of the New Plan is to:
-
(a) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;
-
(b) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and
Page 46
-
(c) align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Group (being the Company and each of its Associated Bodies Corporate), by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Securities.
-
( Plan administration ): The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the New Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion, subject to compliance with applicable laws and the Listing Rules. The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.
-
( Eligibility, invitation and application ): The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the New Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for Securities on such terms and conditions as the Board decides. An invitation issued under the New Plan will comply with the disclosure obligations pursuant to Division 1A.
On receipt of an invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part. If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation. A waiting period of at least 14 days will apply to acquisitions of Securities for monetary consideration as required by the provisions of Division 1A.
-
( Grant of Securities ): The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the successful applicant ( Participant ) the relevant number of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the New Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.
-
( Terms of Convertible Securities ): Each ‘Convertible Security’ represents a right to acquire one or more Shares (for example, under an option or performance right), subject to the terms and conditions of the New Plan.
Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised a Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security by virtue of holding the Convertible Security. A Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted to them. A Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them.
-
( Vesting of Convertible Securities ): Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of Convertible Securities will be described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.
-
( Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise ): To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Convertible Securities (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time prior to the earlier of any date specified in the vesting notice and the expiry date as set out in the invitation.
Page 47
At the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, and subject to Board approval, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.
Market Value means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.
A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the New Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the New Plan rules.
-
( Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities ): As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant, and no later than five (5) business days after exercise, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the New Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.
-
( Forfeiture of Convertible Securities ): Where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest.
Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Group, the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.
Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the New Plan rules:
-
(a) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Board determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that any applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date; and
-
(b) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation.
-
( Change of control ): If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant’s Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event.
-
( Rights attaching to Plan Shares ): All Shares issued under the New Plan, or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security, ( Plan Shares ) will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares of the same class. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the New Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.
Page 48
-
( Disposal restrictions on Securities ): If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares or Convertible Securities are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction.
-
( Adjustment of Convertible Securities ): If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.
If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an allotment of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.
-
( Participation in new issues ): There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Convertible Securities and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company during the currency of the Convertible Securities without exercising the Convertible Securities.
-
( Amendment of Plan ): Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the New Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the New Plan and determine that any amendments to the New Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.
No amendment to any provision of the New Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants.
- ( Plan duration ): The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the New Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely, and may end any suspension. If the New Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.
If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant.
