ORDINARY RESOLUTIONS
2. Resolution 1 Adoption of 2025 Remuneration Report
In accordance with Section 300A(1) of the Corporations Act the Remuneration Report is included in the Directors Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2025. The Remuneration Report sets out details of the remuneration received by the directors and key Company executives, in addition to describing Board policy in respect of remuneration.
In accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company is required to present to its Shareholders the Remuneration Report.
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval of the adoption of the Remuneration Report by the Company.
The outcome of the vote on this resolution is advisory only and not binding on the Company or the Board.
The Corporations Act provides that members of the Key Management Personnel ( KMP ) (as set out in the Company's 2025 Annual Report and which includes the Chair), whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report (and any closely related party of those members) are not permitted to vote on a resolution to approve the Remuneration Report. Further information on voting restrictions, including details on proxy votes, is set out below.
Sections 250U to 250Y of the Corporations Act details a ‘two strikes and re-election’ process in relation to the shareholder vote on the Remuneration Report provide that:
-
A ‘first strike’ will occur if this Remuneration Report resolution receives a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more. If this occurs, the Company’s subsequent remuneration report must contain an explanation of the Board’s proposed action in response to the ‘no’ vote or an explanation of why no action has been taken by the Board.
-
A ‘second strike’ will occur if the resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report at the 2026 Company Annual General Meeting also receives a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more. If this occurs, shareholders will vote at that Annual General Meeting to determine whether the Directors will need to stand for re-election at a separate, subsequent meeting (the ‘spill resolution’). If the spill resolution passes with 50% or more of eligible votes cast, the spill meeting must take place within 90 days.
11
The Company has not received a first strike.
The Remuneration Report is set out in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report which is available at the Company's website http://www.titomic.com on the "Investor Centre" page under "Announcements", then “Annual Reports”.
Voting Restrictions
KMP whose details are included in the Remuneration Report, and their closely related parties, are not permitted to vote on this Resolution. KMPs of the Company are the Directors of the Company and those other persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly. The Remuneration Report identifies the Company’s KMPs for the financial year ending 30 June 2025. ‘Closely related parties’ are defined in the Corporations Act, and include certain of their family members, dependents and companies they control.
However, a KMP may cast a vote as a proxy, where the proxy specifies in writing how the KMP is to vote (except proxies cast on behalf of another KMP). The Chair is permitted to vote undirected proxies where the shareholder expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy.
Accordingly, if you have appointed the Chair as your proxy you must either direct the Chair how to vote, or otherwise, expressly authorise the Chair to vote undirected proxies notwithstanding that the Chair or KMP may benefit.

The Board abstains from making a recommendation in relation to Shareholders voting on Resolution 1.

6. Resolution 5 Ratification of prior issue of Placement Shares to investors (July 2025 Placement)
6.1. Background
On 25 July 2025, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments from institutional and sophisticated investors to subscribe for approximately 201.4 million Shares at an issue price of $0.25 per Share to raise approximately $50 million (before costs) ( July 2025 Placement ). Funds raised under the July 2025 Placement will be used for hiring, facility and equipment expansion, certification acceleration and R&D, business development acceleration, working capital and capital reserve for new opportunities and development initiatives.
Under the July 2025 Placement:
-
an aggregate of 200,000,000 Shares were issued to non-related institutional and sophisticated investors on 31 July 2025 pursuant to the Company's existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ) – being the subject of this Resolution 5; and
-
an aggregate of 1,400,000 Shares are to be issued to Directors of the Company, subject to the Company receiving shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ) – being the subject of Resolution 6.
Of the 200,000,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares:
-
198,363,760 Shares were issued under the Company's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 – being the subject of this Resolution 5; and
-
1,636,240 Shares were issued under the Company's 10% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
6.2. ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue, without approval of its shareholders, more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
In addition, ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that where a company has received shareholder approval by special resolution at an annual general meeting, in addition to issues under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, a company may, subject to certain conditions, issue equity securities in the 12 month period following the approval, an additional amount which represents 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
At last year’s annual general meeting, the Company sought and obtained approval of its Shareholders under listing rule 7.1A the additional 10% capacity described above.
As the issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fall within any of the specified exceptions to ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, and has not yet been approved by Shareholders, the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares utilised the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. This reduces the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Placement Shares.
By ratifying the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
Note, as the Company does not satisfy the requirement to seek shareholder approval for the additional 10% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at the date of this Notice of Meeting, it will not be seeking such shareholder approval at this time.
15
Listing Rule 7.4 allows Shareholders to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If Shareholders approve, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of 200,000,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares the subject of Resolution 5.
If Resolution 5 is passed, 200,000,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 over the 12 months from the issue date, to allow a higher number of equity securities to be issued by the Company without prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, 200,000,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 over the 12 months from the issue date, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of those securities.
6.3. Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, which contains requirements as to the contents of a notice sent to shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4, the following information is provided to Shareholders:

The Tranche 1 Placement Shares were not issued under an agreement |
| Voting exclusion | A voting exclusion statement is included in Resolution 5 of this Notice |
6.4. Board Recommendation
The Directors do not currently have any specific intention to make any further issue of securities without approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 in the next 12 months, unless such issue falls under a relevant exception. However, the Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company to maintain its ability to issue securities under its placement capacity as this will enhance the Company’s flexibility to finance its operations through raising equity capital, should the Directors consider it to be in the best interests of the Company to do so.
Accordingly, the Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

8.1. Background
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to issue 5,000,000 Rights and 25,000,000 Options (together, the Incentive Securities ) to Mr Jim Simpson, Managing Director of the Company.
As part of his remuneration package, the Company agreed with Mr Jim Simpson to award long term incentive securities to align his interests with growth in the Company’s value.
It is important to note that the terms of these Incentive Securities were determined and agreed by the Board in September 2024 prior to Jim Simpson’s commencement with Titomic Limited and prior to the Company’s October 2024 capital raise at $0.12 per share.
8.2. Incentive Securities: summary and key terms
The Incentive Securities proposed to be issued to Mr Simpson are summarised as follows:
-
5,000,000 Rights, which vest on 18 November 2025;
-
5,000,000 Options, which vest on 18 November 2025 and are subject to the share price performance hurdle described below ( Tranche 1 Options );

8.3. ASX Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires a listed company to obtain shareholder approval by ordinary resolution prior to the issue of equity securities to a related party of the company. Mr Simpson is a Director and therefore a related party of the Company.
At the time of Mr Simpson’s appointment to the Board, the Incentive Securities had not been issued. As is appropriate, the Company has waited to seek Shareholder approval at this annual general meeting for the issuance of these incentive securities. Accordingly, approval for the issue of 5,000,000 Rights and 25,000,000 Options is required pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11. As approval of Shareholders is being sought pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11, approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required.

8.5. Director remuneration
The table below sets out Mr Simpson’s total annual remuneration packages (including equity based remuneration) pursuant to his Executive Employment Agreement which commenced in October 2024. Please note, this is remuneration does not include long term incentives, which are dealt with in more detail below.
| Director | Remuneration component | Year ending 30 June 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Jim Simpson | Base salary | US$375,000 |
| Short term incentive1 | US$281,250 | |
| Total | US$656,250 |

19
shareholder approval under Resolution 8 of this Notice of Meeting. The short term incentive pursuant to Mr Simpson’s employment agreement allows for an annual short term incentive of up to 100% of Mr Simpson’s base salary, payable in 50% cash and 50% as Shares, with an issue of Shares being subject to Shareholder approval.
In addition to Mr Simpson’s annual remuneration (comprising cash and short term incentives), it is proposed that Mr Simpson will have the opportunity to earn a long term incentive, being the Incentive Securities subject to this Resolution. The long term incentive is intended to complement Mr Simpson’s annual base salary and short term incentives. It is not proposed to review the long term incentive on an annual basis, although it may be reviewed periodically.
8.6. Chapter 2E
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of a public company unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the relevant exceptions, or prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit.
The proposed issue of Incentive Securities constitutes the giving of a financial benefit.
A “related party” for the purposes of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules is widely defined and includes a director of a public company, a spouse of a director of a public company or an entity controlled by a director of a public company. The definition of “related party” also includes a person whom there is reasonable grounds to believe will become a “related party” of a public company.
As Mr Simpson is a Director of the Company, Mr Simpson is a “related party” of the Company. Therefore, the proposed issue of Incentive Securities to Mr Simpson requires Shareholder approval under both Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11.
8.7. Information Required by Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Identity of the related party
- The related party is Mr Jim Simpson, a Director of the Company.

-
The Incentive Securities are proposed to be issued to remunerate and incentivise Mr Simpson to provide ongoing dedicated services to the Company. The terms of the Incentive Securities have been designed to assist in aligning the interests of Mr Simpson with Shareholders of the Company.
-
The number of Incentive Securities (which affects the value of the proposed financial benefit) was determined after considering a number of factors, including the responsibilities held by Mr Simpson in the Company.
-
If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders of the Company, the financial benefit to be conferred on Mr Simpson via the issue of the Incentive Securities will be in addition to the other remuneration received by Mr Simpson which is summarised above at section 8.5 in the Explanatory Statement for this Resolution.

a. the issue of Incentive Securities are a cost effective and efficient reward and incentive to be provided to Mr Simpson, as opposed to alternative forms of incentive, such as the payment of additional cash consideration or additional bonuses; and
-
b. the quantity and value of the Incentive Securities together with the terms in each case constitute an appropriate number to reflect the duties and obligations demanded by the role of Mr Simpson, as a Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
20
- For the above reasons, the non-conflicted Directors of the Company recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
Dilutionary effect to existing Shareholders’ interests
- If Shareholder approval is obtained for the Resolution, the issue of the Incentive Securities will not have any immediate dilutionary effect to existing Shareholders’ interests. There may be a dilutionary effect in the future if the Incentive Securities vest and are exercised to Shares pursuant to their terms.
Existing and potential interest in the Company
-
As of the date of this Notice of Meeting, Mr Simpson does not have any existing interest in the Company.
-
The impact of the issue of Incentive Securities to Mr Simpson’s potential interest in the Company can be summarised as follows. Note the following table includes the Incentive Securities, which are the subject of this Resolution, along with the Short Term Incentive which are the subject of Resolution 8, and the issue of 400,000 Tranche 2 Placement Shares subject to Resolution 6, to ensure that Shareholders have a complete view of the overall potential interest Mr Simpson may hold in the Company, subject to Shareholder approval.
| Holder | Current Holdings | Projected holdings upon issue of Shares, Options and Rights under Resolutions 6, 7 & 8 |
Potential interest |
|---|---|---|---|
| (fully diluted) |
|||
| (%)(a) | |||
| Mr Jim Simpson | Nil | 1,204,518 Shares 5,000,000 Rights 25,000,000 Options |
1.72% |
Notes:
- (a) This percentage has been calculated on a fully diluted basis, based on the Company’s projected capital structure (assuming that Shareholder approval is obtained for Resolutions 6 to 9) which is projected to consist of 1,539,400,057 Shares, 65,892,858 Rights and 204,313,286 Options. This percentage sets out the projected holding if all of the Options and Rights are exercised, of which, there is no guarantee.
Valuation of financial benefit
- Incentive Securities (which are unlisted Options and Rights) are not proposed to be quoted on ASX, accordingly, they have no easily identifiable market value. However, as the Incentive Securities could be exercised into Shares (subject to satisfaction of its terms), the Incentive Securities may have a present value at the date of their issue.
Mr Simpson’s rights and options have been valued using the share price as of 27 October 2025 being $0.275. This is considered an appropriate valuation method given the 5,000,000 Rights and 5,000,000 Tranche 1 Options will have met all their vesting conditions if this resolution is approved. The Tranche 2 Options and Tranche 3 Options have been valued at current pricing as this provides a material approximation of their value at this point in time when considering remaining vesting conditions.
- Based on the inputs, the Incentive Securities have been valued as follows:
| Recipient | Number of Incentive Securities | Total value |
|---|---|---|
| Jim Simpson | 5,000,000 Rights | $1,375,000 |
| 25,000,000 Options | $6,875,000 | |
| Total | $8,250,000 |
Any other information that is reasonably required by Shareholders to make a decision and that is known to the Company or any of its Directors
- The Board is not aware of any other information that is reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to decide whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass this Resolution.

The definition of “related party” also includes a person whom there is reasonable grounds to believe will become a “related party” of a public company.

11. Resolution 10 Renewal of approval of Equity Incentive Plan
Background
The Company has previously adopted its Equity Incentive Plan ( EIP ) to assist in the motivation and retention of selected Company employees. The EIP is designed to align the interests of eligible employees more closely with the interests of the Company by providing an opportunity for eligible employees to receive an equity interest in the Company.
The EIP was last approved by Shareholders of the Company at the 2022 annual general meeting on 21 November 2022. The Company seeks Shareholder approval to re-adopt the EIP for the purposes set out in this Explanatory Statement.
A summary of the Key terms of the EIP is set out below.
The Company desires to maintain flexibility to raise capital in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without seeking prior shareholder approval. Accordingly, the Board seeks further shareholder approval of the Company's existing Equity Incentive Plan for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b).
Listing Rule 7.1
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more Equity Securities during any 12 month period than that amount that represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue on the commencement of that 12 month period.
One of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 is Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)), which provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue under an employee incentive scheme if, within the 3 years before the date of issue, shareholders have approved the issue of securities under the scheme as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue performance rights, options, loan shares, deferred share awards or exempt share awards to eligible participants (in the case of Directors which will require separate Shareholder approval in accordance with Listing Rule 10.14 at the relevant time), pursuant to the EIP during the period of 3 years after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), and to issue Shares to those persons if they achieve the vesting conditions of the performance rights, options, loan shares, deferred share awards or exempt share awards issued, without using the Company’s 15% rolling 12 month placement capacity. Information required for Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b)
Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13(b) requires the information detailed in sections (a) to (d) below to be provided to members for approval under this resolution:
- a) Summary of the terms of the EIP
The key terms of the Equity Incentive Plan are summarised below.
-
i. Awards Under the Equity Incentive Plan, the Company may offer or issue to eligible employees, the following Awards:
-
performance rights: a right to be issued or provided with a Share at nil issue price on specific vesting conditions being achieved;
-
options: a right to be issued or provided with a Share on payment of an exercise price and which can only be exercised if specific vesting conditions are achieved;
-
loan shares: Shares issued subject to a limited recourse loan and at nil interest rate, subject to specific vesting conditions;
-
deferred share awards: Shares issued to employees:
-
who elect to receive Shares in lieu of any wages, salary, director’s fees, or other remuneration; or
-
by the Company in its discretion, in addition to their wages, salary and remuneration, or in lieu of any discretionary cash bonus or other incentive payment; or
-
-
exempt share awards: Shares issued for no consideration or at an issue price which is a discount to the market price with the intention that up to $1,000 (or such other amount
28
which is exempted from tax under the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (Cth) or the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) from time to time) of the total value or discount received by each employee will be exempt from tax.
ii.
Eligible employees
Awards may be granted at the discretion of the Board to any person who is an employee, officer, director or consultant of a member of the Company or its subsidiaries.
iii. Price
The Board has discretion to determine the issue price and/or exercise price for the Awards.
iv.
Vesting and exercise of Awards
The Awards offered to and held by a participant will vest in and become exercisable by that participant upon the satisfaction of any vesting conditions specified in the offer and in accordance with the rules of the Equity Incentive Plan. Vesting conditions may be waived at the discretion of the Board.
- v.
Change of control
If a takeover bid is made to acquire all of the issued Shares of the Company, or a scheme of arrangement, selective capital reduction or other transaction is initiated which has an effect similar to a full takeover bid for Shares in the Company, then Participants are entitled to accept the takeover bid or participate in the other transaction in respect of all or part of their Awards other than Exempt Share Awards notwithstanding that the Restriction Period in respect of such Awards has not expired. The Board may, in its discretion, waive unsatisfied Vesting Conditions in relation to some or all Awards in the event of such a takeover or other transaction.
vi. Claw-back
If any vesting conditions of an Awards are mistakenly waived or deemed satisfied when in fact they were not satisfied, then in accordance with the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan, the Board may determine that the relevant Awards expire (if not yet exercised), or it may otherwise recover from the participant some or all Shares issued upon exercise of the Employee Rights or any proceeds received from the sale of those shares.
vii. Variation of Share capital
If, prior to the exercise of an Award, the Company undergoes a reorganisation of capital (other than by way of a bonus issue or issue for cash) the terms of the Awards of the Participant will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules as they apply at the relevant time.
b) Securities issued under the scheme
The Company has issued the following securities pursuant to the Equity Incentive Scheme since the last approval of the EIP (at the 2022 Annual General Meeting):
- i. Performance Rights issued to employees: 5,892,858 issued on 16 July 2025
28,375,738 issued on 8 September 2023

- The maximum number of securities proposed to be issued under the EIP from time to time is an amount equal to 10% of the issued capital of the Company (currently 1,537,195,539 Shares) at the time of the relevant offer. Based on the current issued capital, this is a maximum of 153,719,554 securities. The maximum provided does not necessarily indicate the number of securities the company expects to issue under the EIP, it is intended to
29
provide a cap on the number of securities that may be issued under the EIP for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 exception 13(b).
d) Voting exclusion statement
The applicable voting exclusion statement for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 exception 13, under this Resolution 10 appears in the Notice of Meeting.
Given their potential interest in the outcome of this resolution, the Board does not make a recommendation to shareholders with respect to this resolution.
