Explanatory Memorandum
Explanatory Memorandum
The following information is provided to Shareholders of Tlou Energy Limited ACN 136 739 967 ( Tlou or the Company ) in connection with the business to be considered at the General Meeting of Shareholders to be held at HWL Ebsworth Lawyers, Level 19, 480 Queen Street, Brisbane QLD 4000, on 26 September 2024, commencing at 10.00am (AEST).
The Directors recommend shareholders read the accompanying Notice of Meeting and this Explanatory Memorandum in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.
Terms used in this Explanatory Memorandum are defined in the Glossary section.
Resolution 1 - Ratification of Previous Issue
1.1 Background
The Company announced on 23 August 2024 that it has undertaken a placement ( Placement ) to sophisticated investors and that Directors have committed to participating subject to Shareholder approval.
Pursuant to the Placement, the Company placed 16,198,413 Shares at $0.035 to sophisticated investors identified by the Directors from their own networks, to raise $566,944.46. The Shares are expected to be issued on 30 August 2024.
1.2 ASX Listing Rules
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 12month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
The issue the subject of Resolution 1 ( Issue ) does not fit within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1. Therefore, the Issue reduces the Company's capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the Issue date.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. To this end, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to the Issue under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Issue 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 1 is not passed, the Issue will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.

| Material terms of any agreement pursuant to which the Shares are being issued |
N/A |
| A voting exclusion statement | A voting exclusion statement has been included in the attached Notice of General Meeting |
1.4 Directors’ Recommendation
None of the Directors have a material personal interest in the subject matter of Resolution 1. The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1, as this will enable the Company to have flexibility in respect of future capital raising activities.
2. Resolutions 2, 3 and 4 - Approval of the issue of Shares to Related Partes
2.1 Background
When the Company announced the Placement described in Section 1.1, it noted that its Directors, Colm Cloonan, Tony Gilby and High Swire had committed to participate in the Placement for 12,252,655 Shares to raise an additional $428,842.93, subject to Shareholder approval.
The Company now seeks the approval from Shareholders required to permit those Directors to participate in the Placement ( Issue ) on the same terms as the non-related investors the subject of Resolution 1.

Explanatory Memorandum
- 2.2 ASX Listing Rules
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:
-
(a) 10.11.1 - a related party;
-
(b) 10.11.2 - person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;
-
(c) 10.11.3 - a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
(d) 10.11.4 - an Associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or
-
(e) 10.11.5 - a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,
unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.
The Issue (as it relates to each of Resolutions 2 to 4 in turn) falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 in each case and none fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. Each of Resolutions 2 to 4 therefore requires the approval of the Company's Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolutions 2 to 4 each seek the required Shareholder approval to the Issue to the Director the subject of each such Resolution under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
In relation to each of Resolutions 2 to 4, if each Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the relevant portion of the Issue and allocate the stipulated number of Shares to the relevant Directors as stated above, and the Issue will not be included in calculating the Company's capacity to issue Equity Securities equivalent to 15% of the Company's ordinary securities under Listing Rule 7.1.
If any of Resolutions 2 to 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the relevant portion of the Issue to which that Resolution relates and will have to consider other means of raising working capital.
2.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the Participation:
| relation to the Participation: | |
|---|---|
| Name of person to whom securities will be issued |
Resolution 2- Colm Cloonan (or his nominees); Resolution 3- Hugh Swire (or his nominees); and Resolution 4- Gilby Super Pty Ltd ATF The Gilby Super Fund |
| Which category in Listing Rules 10.11.1–10.11.5 the person falls within and why |
Each of the above persons falls under Listing Rule 10.11.1, as each is a related party by virtue of being a Director. |
| Number and class of securities to be issued |
Resolution 2- 1,752,655 Shares; Resolution 3- 1,500,000 Shares; and Resolution 4- 9,000,000 Shares |

2.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the company unless either:
-
(a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the exceptions to the provision; or
-
(b) prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit.
Related party is widely defined under the Corporations Act and includes directors of a company. Financial benefit is defined broadly and includes benefits from the public company’s subsidiaries. It is necessary to look at the economic and commercial substance and the effect of the transaction in determining the financial benefit. The Corporations Act requires that any consideration that is given is disregarded, even if the consideration is adequate.
The Issue the subject to Resolutions 2-4 will result in the issue of Shares, which constitutes giving a financial benefit, and each participating Director is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
The Directors (excluding Messrs Cloonan, Swire and Gilby) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolutions 2 to 4, because the Shares will be issued to the relevant Directors at the same price and on the same terms as the Shares that were issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such, the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
As a financial benefit given on arm's length terms is one of the exceptions contemplated in paragraph (a) above, the approval of Shareholders contemplated in the explanation above is not required.

Explanatory Memorandum
2.5 Directors’ Recommendation
The Directors (excluding Messrs Cloonan, Swire and Gilby) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 2, 3 and 4, as the Company wishes to raise the additional working capital represented by those Resolutions.
