EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Corporations Act , the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2024 together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.southharzpotash.com.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the company or the directors of the company.

The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the company for a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

2.2 Voting consequences

A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

8

2.3 Previous voting results

At the Company's previous annual general meeting, the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Meeting.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – DR REINOUT KOOPMANS

3.1 General

Listing Rule 14.5 provides that an entity which has directors must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting.

The Constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.

Dr Reinout Koopmans, who has served as a Director since 8 January 2019 and was last reelected on 1 November 2022, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

3.2 Qualifications and other material directorships – Dr Reinout Koopmans

Dr Koopmans has not held any other directorships in listed companies during the last 3 years.

Dr Koopmans spent 15 years in investment banking, based in London. He was responsible globally for public equity raising for natural resource companies at Deutsche Bank and he led the European equity capital markets team at Jefferies International. In the 1990’s, Reinout was a management consultant with McKinsey & Co in Germany and South-East Asia. He has significant business experience in Germany. Reinout has a PhD and master’s degree from the London School of Economics, and a degree from Erasmus University, Rotterdam.

3.3 Independence

If re-elected the Board considers Mr Koopman will be an independent Director.

3.4 Board recommendation

The Board has reviewed Mr Koopmans’ performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that their skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role. Accordingly, the Board supports the re-election of Mr Koopmans and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTIONS 3 & 4 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES AND OPTIONS UNDER PLACEMENT

4.1 General

On 22 December 2023, the Company issued 55,221,736 Shares at $0.023 per Share to sophisticated and professional investors to raise $1,270,100 via a private placement ( Placement ). In addition to the Placement the Company also conducted a nonrenounceable rights issue on a 1 for 15 basis to eligible shareholders ( Rights Issue ). Further details are set out in the announcement dated 15 December 2023.

The Company engaged Morgans Corporate Limited ( Morgans ) to act as lead manager and bookrunner to the Placement and Rights Issue. Pursuant to the lead manager mandate, Morgans received a 6% fee on the gross proceeds raised under the Placement as well as

9

3,500,000 Options exercisable at $0.08 each and expiring on 22 December 2026 ( Lead Manager Options ).

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification for the prior issue of 55,221,736 Shares under the Placement.

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification for the prior issue of 3,500,000 Lead Manager Options.

The issue of the Shares and Lead Manager Options did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of issue.

4.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1

ASX 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 which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, 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’s ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this Meeting remains conditional on Resolutions 4 and 5 being passed at this Meeting.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with Shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Shares and Lead Manager Options.

Resolutions 4 and 5 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Shares and Lead Manager Options.

4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

By ratifying the issue of the Shares and Lead Manager Options the subject of Resolutions 3 and 4 the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the combined 25% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolutions 3 and/or 4 are not passed, the issue of the Shares and Lead Manager Options is still valid however it will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for 12 months following the issue.

4.6 Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors of the Company believe that Resolutions 3 and 4 are in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3 and 4.

5. RESOLUTION 5 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SHARES UNDER AUGUST PLACEMENT

5.1 General

On 9 August 2024, the Company completed a placement of Shares to sophisticated and professional investors through the issue of 62,883,300 Shares at $0.01 per Share ( August Placement ). Further details of the August Placement are set out in the ASX announcement dated 1 August 2024.

The Company also conducted a pro rata non-renounceable rights issue to eligible shareholders on a 1 for 3 basis at an issue price of $0.01 per Share ( August Rights Issue ). Further details pertaining to the August Rights Issue can be found in the Prospectus dated 9 August 2024.

The August Placement comprised the following:

  • (a) 40,116,690 Shares subscribed for by Directors and subject to Shareholder approval under Resolution 7;

  • (b) 58,733,300 Shares issued to sophisticated and institutional investors under the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1A placement capacity on 9 August 2024, ratification of which is sought under Resolution 5(a); and

  • (c) 4,150,000 Shares issued to Fivemark Capital Pty Ltd on 9 August 2024, a service provider of the Company, whose accounts payable balance totalled the amount payable for the 4,150,000 Shares, issued under the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity, ratification of which is sought under Resolution 5(b).

Resolution 5 is made up of two, separate ordinary resolutions. Resolution 5(a) seeks Shareholder ratification for the prior issue of 58,733,300 Shares under the August

12

Placement. Resolution 5(b) seeks Shareholder ratification for the prior issue of 4,150,000 Shares issued to a service provider of the Company (further details provided in section 5.4 below).

The issue of the Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A at the time of issue.

5.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A

ASX 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 which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Under Listing Rule 7.1A, a company can seek approval from its shareholders, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% placement capacity limit by an extra 10% to 25%.

The Company obtained approval to increase its placement capacity limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 26 October 2023.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with Shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying the issue of the Shares the subject of Resolutions 5(a) and (b) and the MPS Lead Manager Options the subject of Resolution 6 the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 25% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 5(a) and 5(b) are not passed, the issue of the Shares is still valid however it will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for 12 months following the issue. The Shares will therefore be included in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of issue of the respective Equity Securities.

5.3 ASX Listing Rule 7.5 – Resolution 5(a)

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval of the Share issue the subject of Resolution 5(a) in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5:

The investors were identified as part of a book build process, managed by MPS. These Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A;

  • (b) in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the Company confirms that none of the recipients were:

  • (f) the Shares the subject of Resolution 5(a) are fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company, ranking equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue;

  • (g) The proceeds from the August Placement have been used to fund the following:

  • i. detailed due diligence activities, ahead of the execution of binding agreements for the transformational Sollstedt Mine acquisition;

  • ii. internal value engineering and optimisation studies for the brownfield

  • iii. evaluation of strategic alternatives towards a definitive feasibility study for the Ohmgebirge Potash Development; and

  • iv. general working capital;

  • v. costs associated with the August Placement;

  • (h) the shares the subject of Resolution 5(a) were not issued under an agreement; and

  • (i) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

5.4 ASX Listing Rule 7.5 – Resolution 5(b)

The following information is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of obtaining Shareholder approval of the Share issue the subject of Resolution 5(b) in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5:

  • (a) the Shares the subject of Resolution 5(b) were issued to Fivemark Capital Pty Ltd ( Fivemark ), a service provider to the Company. Fivemark is not a related party of the Company;

  • (d) the Shares the subject of Resolution 5(b) were issued at a deemed issue price of $0.01 each. The Shares the subject of Resolution 5(b) were issued to Fivemark, who agreed to subscribe for Shares under the August Placement of an amount equivalent to the accounts payable by the Company to the service provider, being $41,500. Accordingly no funds were raised from the issue of Shares the subject of Resolution 5(b). The Company’s use of funds from the August Placement and Rights Issue is detailed in section 5.3 above;

  • (e) the Shares the subject of Resolution 5(b) are fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company, ranking equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue;

14

  • (f) the Shares were not issued under an agreement; and

  • (g) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

5.5 Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors of the Company believe that Resolutions 5(a) and 5(b) are in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5(a), 5(b) and 6.

6. RESOLUTION 6 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO RELATED PARTY – LEN JUBBER

6.1 General

On 8 October 2024, the Company announced that it had received binding commitments from Len Jubber (Executive Chairman) to subscribe for 5,000,000 Shares at $0.01 (being $50,000) via a private placement on the same terms as the shortfall offer under the prospectus dated 9 August 2024 ( Participation ).

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for Executive Chairman and Director Mr Len Jubber (or his nominee(s) ) to take a share placement in the Company, for a total of 5,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.01 / share. ( Director Participation )

Should Resolution 6 be passed, the Company will receive an additional $50,000 from the Director Participation to be applied working capital of the Company.

6.2 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act ; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act .

The issue of the Securities to Mr Jubber (or his nominee(s)) constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Jubber is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a director of the Company.

In respect of the Resolution, the Directors (other than Mr Jubber who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of Resolution 6 because the Securities will be issued on the same terms as the Securities issued under Resolution 5 to non-related party participants and as such, the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

6.3 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

  • (a) a related party;

15

  • (b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • (c) 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) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • (e) 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 Director Participation falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 6 seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Securities under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

6.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Securities to Mr Jubber (or his nominee(s) ) within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Securities (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Securities will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Securities and the Company will not raise up to $50,000 via the Director Participation.

Resolution 6 seeks approval for an individual issue and is not dependent on any other Resolution.

6.5 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 6 :

  • (a) the Securities will be issued to Mr Jubber (or his nominee(s)), who fall within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 as he is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a director of the Company;

  • (b) 5,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares will be issued to Mr Jubber (or his nominee(s));

  • (c) the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;

  • (d) the Securities will be issued to Mr Jubber (or his nominee(s)) no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules);

  • (e) the issue price will be $0.01 per Share. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Securities;

16

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of Shares under the Participation is to raise capital, which the Company intends to apply towards the technical and business running costs including Ohmgebirge project internal value engineering and evaluation of strategic alternatives towards definitive feasibility study;

  • (g) the Securities to be issued under the Director Participation are not intended to remunerate or incentivise Mr Jubber;

  • (h) the Shares are being issued pursuant to customary placement offer letters between the Company and Len Jubber ; and

  • (i) voting exclusion statements are included in Resolution 6 of the Notice.

7.2 Loan Facility

The Company entered into unsecured loan agreements with two related parties:

  • (a) Mr Jubber and Mrs Jubber as Trustee for the Jubber Super Fund. Mr Jubber is a trustee and beneficiary of the Jubber Super Fund and therefore a related party. The Company has since drawn down a total of $50,000 from the loan facility provided by the Lender; and

  • (b) RL Holdings Pty Ltd, an entity controlled by Mr Rory Luff and therefore a related party. The Company has since drawn down a total of $50,000 from the loan facility provided by RL Holdings

together the “ Lenders ”.

The terms of the unsecured loan agreements are summarised as follows:

  • (a) The Company entered into Loan Agreements in April 2024 with each of the Lenders;

  • (b) The Lenders and the Company agreed to enter into the each loan agreement on the basis that the loan facilities provided by the Lenders were provided on an arms’ length basis and on commercial terms;

  • (c) The Lenders each agreed to make a loan facility of $100,000 available to the Company (together facilities totalling $200,000) until the repayment date (being 30 November 2024) ( Repayment Date );

  • (d) The Company has since drawn down a total of $50,000 from each loan facility provided by the Lenders (together totalling $100,000 drawn down);

  • (i) a change of control event of the Company, or the Company entering into an agreement which involves a change of control;

the Company undertakes a capital or debt raising, unless each Lender agrees otherwise. The Lenders have agreed for the Repayment Date to be the trigger for repayment of the outstanding amounts, rather than the August Placement and August Rights Issue.

18

7.3 Director recommendation

Each Director has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 7(a), 7(b) and 7(c) on the basis that all of the Directors (or his nominee(s)) are to be issued Director Subscription Shares under the August Placement should Resolutions 7(a), 7(b) and 7(c) be passed. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on Resolutions 7(a), 7(b), or 7(c) of this Notice.

7.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The issue of the Director Subscription Shares will result in the issue of Shares which constitutes giving a financial benefit. Each of the Directors are related parties of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

As the Shares are proposed to be issued to all of the Directors, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue of the Director Subscription Shares. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of Director Subscription Shares in respect of the Related Party Participation is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

7.5 Listing Rule 10.11

A summary of Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in Section 6.3 above.

The issue of the Director Subscription Shares falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolutions 7(a), 7(b) and 7(c) seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Director Subscription Shares under and for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11.

7.6 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 7(a), 7(b) and 7(c) are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Shares under the Director Subscription Shares within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). and will raise additional funds which will be used in the manner set out in Section 5.3 (being, $207,359). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Subscription Shares (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Director Subscription Shares will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 7(a), 7(b) or 7(c) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Subscription Shares. As a result, no further funds will be raised in respect of the Placement (being, $207,359) and the amount of $193,807 in creditor balances

19

owing to the Directors as set out in Section 6.1 and 6.1 above will not be offset through the issue of the Director Subscription Shares and will remain payable by the Company.

8. RESOLUTION 8 – ISSUE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS – LISTING RULE 10.11

8.1 General

As announced on 29 August 2024, the Company finalised the terms of Executive Chairman Mr Len Jubber’s remuneration package.

Mr Jubber’s remuneration package is made up of:

  • (a) A base salary of $350,000 per annum, inclusive of statutory superannuation ( Base Salary );

  • (b) 31,500,000 Performance Rights comprising of:

  • (i) 19,250,000 Project Performance Rights ( PRP ); and

  • (ii) 12,250 Long Term Incentive Performance Rights.

Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 31,500,000 Performance Rights to Len Jubber (or his nominee) on the terms and conditions set out below.

8.2 Chapter 2 E of the Corporations Act

A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is set out in Section 6.2 above.

The issue of Performance Rights to Mr Jubber (or his nominee(s) ) constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Jubber is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

The Directors (other than Mr Jubber who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not

23

required in respect of the grant of Performance Rights because the agreement to issue the Performance Rights, reached as part of the remuneration package for Mr Jubber, is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis.

8.3 ASX Listing Rule 10.11

A summary of Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in Section 6.5 above.

The issue of Performance Rights to Mr Jubber (or his nominee(s)) falls within ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1, as he is a related party to the Company by virtue of being a Director. The Company therefore requires Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 8 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Performance Rights under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

8.4 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 8 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights to Mr Jubber (or his nominee(s)) within one month after the date of the Meeting. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Performance Rights (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Performance Rights will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolution 8 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights and may need to seek to remunerate Mr Lubber by another means.

8.5 ASX Listing Rule 10.13

ASX Listing Rule 10.13 contains certain requirements as to the contents of a Notice sent to Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11 and the following information is included in this Explanatory Memorandum for that purpose:

  • (a) the Performance Rights will be issued to Mr Len Jubber, Executive Chairman of the Company (or his nominee(s));

  • (b) Mr Jubber falls within the category set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1, by virtue of being a Director;

  • (c) the issue price of the Performance Rights will be nil;

  • (d) the maximum number of Performance Rights to be granted pursuant to Resolution 8 is 31,500,000 Performance Rights comprising of:

  • (i) 19,250,000 Project Performance Rights; and

  • (ii) 12,250,000 Long Term Incentive Performance Rights,

  • (e) the Performance Rights will be issued on a date which will be no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting. The Performance Rights are subject to vesting conditions which are detailed in section 7.1 above;

  • (f) the terms and conditions of the Performance Rights are set out in Annexure B to this Explanatory Memorandum;

  • (g) the Performance Rights will be granted for no monetary consideration as part of the remuneration of Mr Jubber, Executive Chairman of the Company;

24

  • (h) the purpose of the issue of the Performance Rights to Mr Lubber is to motivate, incentivise and reward his performance as a Director of the Company. Having considered the alternatives to an issue of Performance Rights (such as a higher cash-based component of remuneration), the Board considers that the grant of the Performance Rights is an effective way to remunerate Mr Jubber for his services, as the Performance Rights issued to Mr Jubber preserves the Company’s cash resources;

  • (i) details of Mr Jubber’s current total remuneration package (not including the Performance Rights) is set out in the table below. If the Performance Rights are issued the remuneration of Mr Jubber will increase by $280,433, which will be expensed over the life of the respective performance rights in accordance with Australian accounting standards, being the value of the Performance Rights (based on the Black Scholes methodology).

Director Name Current
Remuneration
Len Jubber $369,763_1_

Notes:

  1. Comprising base cash salary of $320,000 per annum excluding superannuation and $30,000 of superannuation, and estimated share based payment expense of $19,763 in relation to existing options held (does not include the value of Performance Rights proposed for approval at this AGM).

  2. (j) the value of the Performance Rights and the pricing methodology is set out in Annexure E;

  3. (k) the Performance Rights are being issued pursuant to an employment contract which contains terms and conditions that are standard in nature. The employment contract allows either party to terminate the contract with 3 months’ prior notice; and

  4. (l) a voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice.

8.6 Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors do not make any recommendation with respect to the issue of the Performance Rights the subject of Resolution 8, as such recommendation regarding the remuneration of the Directors of the Company may be a conflict of interest.

9. RESOLUTION 9 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO DIRECTORS – LISTING RULE 10.11

9.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue an aggregate of 8 million Performance Rights ( Performance Rights ) to Rory Luff and Reinout Koopmans (or his nominee(s)) ( Related Parties ) on the terms and conditions set out below.

Resolutions 9(a) to 9(b) seek Shareholder approval for the issue of the Performance Rights to the Related Parties.

25

9.2 Director recommendation

Messrs Luff and Koopmans each has a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 9(a) to 9(b) on the basis that all of the Directors (or his nominee(s)) are to be issued Performance Rights should Resolutions 9(a) to 9(b) be passed. For this reason, neither Mr Luff nor Dr Koopmans believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on Resolutions 9(a) to 9(b) of this Notice. Chairman Len Jubber is seeking approval to receiving Performance Rights under Resolution 8 and also does not believe that it is appropriate to make a recommendation on Resolutions 9(a) to 9(b) of this Notice.

9.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

A summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is set out in Section 6.2 above.

The issue of Performance Rights to the Related Parties constitutes giving a financial benefit and each of the Related Parties is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.

As the Performance Rights are proposed to be issued to the majority of the Directors, the Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider whether one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act applies to the issue of the Options. Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the issue of Options to the Related Parties is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

9.4 Listing Rule 10.11

A summary of Listing Rule 10.11 is set out in Section 6.3 above.

The issue of Performance Rights falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolutions 9(a) to 9(b) seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Performance Rights under and for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11.

9.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 9(a) to 9(b) are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Performance Rights to the Related Parties within one month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules). As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Performance Rights (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11), the issue of the Options will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 9(a) to 9(c) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Options and will need to consider alternative methods to retain and incentivise the Directors.

9.6 Technical Information required by Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13 and section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 9(a) to 9(b):

(a) the Performance Rights will be issued to the following persons:

(i) Rory Luff (or his nominee(s)) pursuant to Resolution 9(a); and

26

  • (ii) Reinout Koopmans (or his nominee(s)) pursuant to Resolution 9(b),

each of whom falls within the category set out in Listing Rule 10.11.1 by virtue of being a Director;

  • (b) the maximum number of Performance Rights to be issued to the Related Parties (being the nature of the financial benefit proposed to be given) is 8 million comprising:

  • (i) 4 million Performance Rights to Rory Luff (or his nominee(s)) pursuant to Resolution 9(a); and

  • (ii) 4 million Performance Rights to Reinout Koopmans (or his nominee(s)) pursuant to Resolution 9(b),

  • (c) the terms and conditions of the Performance Rights are set out in Annexure D;

  • (d) the Performance Rights will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the Listing Rules) and it is intended that issue of the Performance Rights will occur on the same date;

  • (e) the issue price of the Performance Rights will be nil. The Company will not receive any other consideration in respect of the issue of the Performance Rights ;

  • (f) the purpose of the issue of the Performance Rights is to provide a performance linked incentive component in the remuneration package for the Related Parties to align the interests of the Related Parties with those of Shareholders, to motivate and reward the performance of the Related Parties in their roles as Directors and to provide a cost effective way from the Company to remunerate the Related Parties, which will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Related Parties;

  • (g) the Performance Rights are unquoted Performance Rights . The Company has agreed to issue the Performance Rights to the Related Parties subject to Shareholder approval for the following reasons:

  • (i) the Performance Rights are unquoted; therefore, the issue of the Performance Rights has no immediate dilutionary impact on Shareholders;

  • (ii) the deferred taxation benefit which is available to the Related Parties in respect of an issue of Performance Rights is also beneficial to the Company as it means the Related Parties are not required to immediately sell the Performance Rights to fund a tax liability (as would be the case in an issue of Shares where the tax liability arises upon issue of the Shares) and will instead, continue to hold an interest in the Company; and

  • (iii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Performance Rights on the terms proposed;

  • (h) the number of Performance Rights to be issued to each of the Related Parties has been determined based upon a consideration of:

  • (i) current market standards and/or practices of other ASX listed companies of a similar size and stage of development to the Company;

27

  • (ii) the remuneration of the Related Parties; and

  • (iii) incentives to attract and retain the services of the Related Parties who have appropriate knowledge and expertise, while maintaining the Company’s cash reserves.

The Company does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Performance Rights upon the terms proposed;

(i) the total remuneration package for each of the Related Parties for the previous financial year and the proposed total remuneration package for the current financial year are set out below:

  3. (m) if the Performance Rights issued to the Related Parties are exercised, a total of 8,000,000 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 984,177,918 (being the total number of Shares on issue as at 8 October 2024 plus binding commitments for 40,000,000 shares received from new investors – refer ASX announcement New Equity Commitments of A$450,000 Received dated 8 October 2024) to 992,177,918 (assuming that no Shares are issued and no convertible securities vest or are exercised) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 0.81%, comprising 0.40% by Rory Luff and0.40% by Reinout Koopmans;

The market price for Shares during the term of the Performance Rights would normally determine whether the Options are exercised.

10. RESOLUTION 10 – ADOPTION OF EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE SECURITIES PLAN

10.1 General

Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval for the adoption of the employee incentive scheme titled “ South Harz Potash Limited Employee Incentive Securities Plan ” ( Securities Incentive Plan ) and for the issue of Securities under the Securities Incentive Plan in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)).

The objective of the Securities Incentive Plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees and the Company considers that the adoption of the Securities Incentive Plan and the future issue of securities under the Securities Incentive Plan will provide selected employees with the opportunity to participate in the future growth of the Company.

As summarised in Section 4.2 above, 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.

Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)) provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years before the date of issue of the securities, the holders of the entity’s ordinary securities have approved the issue of equity securities under the scheme as exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

Exception 13(b) is only available if and to the extent that the number of equity securities issued under the scheme does not exceed the maximum number set out in the entity’s notice of meeting dispatched to shareholders in respect of the meeting at which shareholder approval was obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2. Exception 13(b) also ceases to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the scheme from those set out in the notice of meeting.

If Resolution 10 is passed, the Company will be able to issue securities under the Securities Incentive Plan to eligible participants over a period of 3 years. The issue of any securities to eligible participants under the Securities Incentive Plan (up to the maximum number of securities stated in Section 8.2 below) will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company must seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of any future issues of securities under the Securities Incentive Plan to a related party or a person whose relationship with the Company or the related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

If this Resolution 10 is not passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of securities under the Securities Incentive Plan to eligible participants, but any issues of securities will reduce, to that extent, the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities

30

without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue of the securities.

10.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13)

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13), the following information is provided in relation to this Resolution:

  • (a) a summary of the key terms and conditions of the Securities Incentive Plan is set out in Annexure C;

  • (b) the Company adopted an Incentive Option Plan on 31 March 2021, since being approved by Shareholders on 4 May 2021. The Company has issued a total of 13,224,000 Options under the Incentive Option Plan;

  • (c) the Company is seeking Shareholder approval to adopt the Securities Incentive Plan to include the new terms and conditions required by Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act, which replaced the previous relief provided by ASIC Class Order 14/1000 (Employee Incentive Scheme);

  • (d) the maximum number of Securities proposed to be issued under the Securities Incentive Plan, following Shareholder approval, is 100,000,000 Securities. It is not envisaged that the maximum number of Securities for which approval is sought will be issued immediately; and

  • (e) a voting exclusion statement is included with this Notice.

11. RESOLUTION 11 – APPROVAL OF 7.1A MANDATE

11.1 General

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 securities it had on issue at the start of that period.

However, under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity may seek shareholder approval by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25% ( 7.1A Mandate ).

An ‘eligible entity’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300,000,000 or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an eligible entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $8,497,601 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 7 October 2024).

Resolution 11 seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% placement capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval.

For note, a special resolution is a resolution requiring at least 75% of votes cast by shareholders present and eligible to vote at the meeting in favour of the resolution.

If Resolution 11 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.

31

If Resolution 11 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A, and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

11.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution :

(a) Period for which the 7.1A Mandate is valid

The 7.1A Mandate will commence on the date of the Meeting and expire on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of this Meeting;

  • (ii) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; and

  • (iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change in the nature or scale of activities) or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of the main undertaking).

(b)

Minimum price

Any Equity Securities issued under the 7.1A Mandate must be in an existing quoted class of Equity Securities and be issued for cash consideration at a minimum price of 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that 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 entity and the recipient of the Equity Securities; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in Section 9.2(b)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(c) Use of funds raised under the 7.1A Mandate

The Company intends to use funds raised from issues of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate for the development of the Company’s business, the acquisition of new assets or investments and for general working capital.

(d) Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 11 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 7.1A Mandate, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in Listing Rule 7.1A.2, on the basis of the closing market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue or proposed to be issued as at 8 October 2024.

32

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 7.1A Mandate.

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. There are currently Shares on issue comprising:

  2. (a) 944,177,918 existing Shares as at 8 October 2024;

  3. (b) 40,000,000 shares are expected to be issued under the entitlement issue shortfall placement (refer ASX announcement New Equity Commitments ff A$450,000 Received dated 8 October 2024)

  4. (c) 5,000,000 Director Placement Shares which will be issued if Resolution 6 is passed at this Meeting; and

  5. (d) 40,116,690 Director Subscription Shares which will be issued if Resolution 7(a), (b) and (c) are passed at this Meeting; and

  6. The issue price set out above is the closing market price of the Shares on the ASX on 7 October 2024 (being $0.009).

  7. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate.

  8. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

  9. The issue of Equity Securities under the 7.1A Mandate consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options or Performance Rights are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities. If the issue of Equity Securities includes quoted Options or Performance Rights, it is assumed that those quoted Options or Performance Rights are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  10. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  11. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under Listing Rule 7.1 unless otherwise disclosed.

  12. 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%.

  13. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 7.1A Mandate, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

33

(ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

(e) Allocation policy under the 7.1A Mandate

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 7.1A Mandate have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 7.1A Mandate, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue, share purchase plan, placement or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

  • (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

  • (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

(f) Previous approval under Listing Rule 7.1A

During the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 26 October 2023, the Company issued 58,733,300 Shares pursuant to the Previous Approval ( Previous Issue ), which represent approximately 8% of the total diluted number of Equity Securities on issue in the Company on 26 October 2023, which was 713,506,362. It is noted ratification of the issue of the Previous Issue is being sought pursuant to Resolution 5(a) and (b).

Further details of the issues of Equity Securities by the Company pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A.2 during the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting are set out below.

The following information is provided in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A.6(b) in respect of the Previous Issue:

As with any budget, intervening events and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way the funds are applied on this basis.

12. RESOLUTION 12 – REPLACEMENT OF CONSTITUTION

12.1 General

Section 136 of the Corporations Act provides that a company may adopt a constitution as well as modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of shareholders.

Resolution 12 is a special resolution which will enable the Company to repeal its existing Constitution and adopt a new constitution which ensures it reflects the current provisions of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules ( Proposed Constitution ).

This will incorporate amendments to the Corporations Act and Listing Rules since the current Constitution was adopted on 29 November 2019.

The Directors are of the view that it is preferable in the circumstances to replace the existing Constitution with the proposed Constitution rather than to amend specific provisions.

The Proposed Constitution is broadly consistent with the provisions of the existing Constitution. Many of the proposed changes are administrative or minor in nature.

The Directors believe these amendments are not material nor will they have any significant impact on Shareholders. It is not practicable to list all of the changes to the Constitution in detail in this Explanatory Statement, however, a summary of the proposed material changes is set out below.

35

A copy of the Proposed Constitution is available for review by Shareholders at https://southharzpotash.com/about/corporate-governance/ and upon request to the Company Secretary. A copy of the Proposed Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary (+61 408 447 493). Shareholders are invited to contact the Company if they have any queries or concerns.

12.2 Summary of material proposed changes

Employee Incentive Securities Plan (clause 2.4)

Under the new Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act, which came into effect on 1 October 2022, offers under an employee incentive plan that do not require a monetary payment (e.g., zero exercise price options or performance rights) can be issued without an issue cap. However, offers requiring a monetary payment (whether upon grant or upon exercise/vesting of the awards and issue of the underlying shares) must be accompanied by an ‘ESS offer document’ and must comply with an issue cap. The cap is set at 5% under the Corporations Act unless raised by a company’s constitution. A company may include a higher issue cap in its constitution to allow for more than 5% of securities to be issued under the plan.

The Proposed Constitution has set the issue cap at 10%.

Restricted Securities (clause 2.12)

The Proposed Constitution complies with the changes to Listing Rule 15.12 which took effect from 1 December 2019. As a result of these changes, ASX will require certain more significant holders of restricted securities and their controllers (such as related parties, promoters, substantial holders, service providers and their associates) to execute a formal escrow agreement in the form Appendix 9A, as is currently the case. However, for less significant holdings (such as non-related parties and non-promoters), ASX will permit the Company to issue restriction notices to holders of restricted securities in the form of the new Appendix 9C advising them of the restriction rather than requiring signed restriction agreements.

Minimum Security holding (clause 3)

This Proposed Constitution now extends the minimum holding provisions to all securities as provided for under the Listing Rules. The clause previously only referred to shares.

Joint Holders (clause 9.8)

The ASX is considering replacement options for its Clearing Hose Electronic Subregister System ( CHESS ). Due to complexities with the solution design, there is no current go-live date. To ensure compliance with any replacement CHESS system, clause 9.8 of the Proposed Constitution provides that the number of registered joint holders of securities shall be as permitted under the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.

Capital Reductions (clause 10.2)

The Proposed Constitution now permits sales of unmarketable parcels to a sale nominee as part of a capital reduction.

Use of technology (clause 14)

The Proposed Constitution includes a new provision to permit the use of technology at general meetings (including wholly virtual meetings) to the extent permitted under the Corporations Act, Listing Rules and applicable law.

36

Partial (proportional) takeover provisions (new clause 37)

A proportional takeover bid is a takeover bid where the offer made to each shareholder is only for a proportion of that shareholder’s shares.

Pursuant to section 648G of the Corporations Act, the Company has included in the Proposed Constitution a provision whereby a proportional takeover bid for Shares may only proceed after the bid has been approved by a meeting of Shareholders held in accordance with the terms set out in the Corporations Act.

This clause of the Proposed Constitution will cease to have effect on the third anniversary of the date of the adoption of last renewal of the clause.

Information required by section 648G of the Corporations Act

Effect of proposed proportional takeover provisions

Where offers have been made under a proportional off-market bid in respect of a class of securities in a company, the registration of a transfer giving effect to a contract resulting from the acceptance of an offer made under such a proportional off-market bid is prohibited unless and until a Resolution to approve the proportional off-market bid is passed.

Reasons for proportional takeover provisions

A proportional takeover bid may result in control of the Company changing without Shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all their Shares. By making a partial bid, a bidder can obtain practical control of the Company by acquiring less than a majority interest. Shareholders are exposed to the risk of being left as a minority in the Company and the risk of the bidder being able to acquire control of the Company without payment of an adequate control premium. These amended provisions allow Shareholders to decide whether a proportional takeover bid is acceptable in principle, and assist in ensuring that any partial bid is appropriately priced.

Knowledge of any acquisition proposals

As at the date of this Notice, other than a firm commitment from RAB Capital (for whom a “ Notice of initial substantial holder ” was recently lodged on the ASX on 27 September 2024) to subscribe for $150,000 in shortfall shares as part of the new equity commitments of $450,000 announced to the ASX on 8 October 2024, no Director is aware of any proposal by any person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.

Potential advantages and disadvantages of proportional takeover provisions

The Directors consider that the proportional takeover provisions have no potential advantages or disadvantages for them and that they remain free to make a recommendation on whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should be accepted.

The potential advantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include:

  • (a) the right to decide by majority vote whether an offer under a proportional takeover bid should proceed;

  • (b) assisting in preventing Shareholders from being locked in as a minority;

  • (c) increasing the bargaining power of Shareholders which may assist in ensuring that any proportional takeover bid is adequately priced; and

  • (d) each individual Shareholder may better assess the likely outcome of the proportional takeover bid by knowing the view of the majority of Shareholders

37

which may assist in deciding whether to accept or reject an offer under the takeover bid.

The potential disadvantages of the proportional takeover provisions for Shareholders include:

  • (a) proportional takeover bids may be discouraged;

  • (b) lost opportunity to sell a portion of their Shares at a premium; and

  • (c) the likelihood of a proportional takeover bid succeeding may be reduced.

Recommendation of the Board

The Directors do not believe the potential disadvantages outweigh the potential advantages of adopting the proportional takeover provisions and as a result consider that the proportional takeover provision in the Proposed Constitution is in the interest of Shareholders and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 12.

12.3 Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 12 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 12.

ANNEXURE B – TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS (RESOLUTION 8 )

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE LONG TERM INCENTIVE PERFORMANCE RIGHTS

The following is a summary of the key terms and conditions of the long-term incentive performance rights ( LTIPR ):

a) Vesting Conditions

The LTIPRs shall vest in accordance with the table below:

LTIPR Grant Date Vesting Date Vesting Condition
1 July 2024 1 July 2027 If Total Shareholder Revenue is:
equal to or greater than 150%, all of the LTIPs will vest;
(a)
between 110% and 150%, the LTIPs will vest in a
straight-line scale pro-rata; or
(b)
less than 110%, then none of the LTIPs will vest.

The terms in the table above have the following meanings:

  1. Total Shareholder Revenue means the positive percentage change in the volume weighted average price of the Company’s Shares on the ASX for twenty consecutive trading days ( VWAP ) over the threeyear period commencing on the LTIP Grant Date and ending on the Vesting Date divided by the percentage change in the S&P/ASX 300 Metal and Mining Index over the same period. For the avoidance of doubt, where the percentage change in the VWAP is negative, none of the LTIPs will vest.

The number of LTIPRs to be issued is 12,250,000. The 12,250,000 LTIPRs is equal to 35% of Len Jubber’s base salary plus superannuation as specified in the Executive Services Agreement dated 28 August 2024 ( ESA ) divided by $0.01.

b) Notification to holder

The Company shall notify the holder in writing when the relevant Vesting Condition has been satisfied.

c) Conversion

Subject to paragraph (o), upon vesting, each LTIPR will, at the election of the holder, convert into one Share.

d) Expiry Date

The LTIPRs will automatically lapse upon the earlier to occur of:

(i) the date that is two (2) years after the Vesting Date; or

(ii) the holder ceasing to be Executive Chair of the Company, unless otherwise determined by the Board at its absolute discretion.

e) Consideration

The LTIPRs will be issued for nil consideration and no consideration will be payable upon the conversion of the LTIPRs into Shares.

f) Share ranking

All Shares issued upon the vesting of LTIPRs will upon issue rank pari passu in all respects with other existing Shares.

43

g) Application to ASX

The LTIPRs will not be quoted on ASX. The Company must apply for the official quotation of a Share issued on conversion of a LTIP on ASX within the time period required by the ASX Listing Rules.

h) Timing of issue of Shares on conversion

Within 5 business days after the date that the LTIPRs are converted, the Company will:

  • (i) issue the number of Shares required under these terms and conditions in respect of the number of LTIPRs converted;

  • (ii) if required, give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, or, if the Company is unable to issue such a notice, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors; and

  • (iii) if admitted to the Official List of ASX at the time, apply for official quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the conversion of the LTIPs.

If a notice delivered under paragraph (h)(ii) for any reason is not effective to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors, the Company must, no later than 20 business days after becoming aware of such notice being ineffective, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors.

i) Transfer of LTIPRs

The LTIPRs are not transferable.

j) Participation in new issues

A LTIPR does not entitle a holder (in their capacity as a holder of a LTIPR) to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues without exercising the LTIPR.

k) Reorganisation of capital

If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reorganised (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return), all rights of a holder will be changed in a manner consistent with the applicable ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act at the time of reorganisation.

l) Adjustment for bonus issues of Shares

If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to the Company’s existing shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) the number of Shares or other securities which must be issued on the conversion of a LTIPR will be increased by the number of Shares or other securities which the holder would have received if the holder had converted the LTIPR before the record date for the bonus issue.

m) Dividend and voting rights

44

The LTIPRs do not confer on the holder an entitlement to vote (except as otherwise required by law) or receive dividends.

n) Change in control

Subject to paragraph (o), upon:

  • (i) a bona fide takeover bid under Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act having been made in respect of the Company and:

  • (A) having received acceptances for not less than 50.1% of the Company’s Shares on issue; and

  • (B) having been declared unconditional by the bidder; or

  • (ii) a Court granting orders approving a compromise or arrangement for the purposes of or in connection with a scheme for the reconstruction of the Company or its amalgamation with any other company or companies; or

  • (iii) in any other case, a person obtains Voting Power (as defined in the Corporations Act) in the Company that the Board (which for the avoidance of doubt will comprise those Directors immediately prior to the person acquiring that Voting Power) determines, acting in good faith and in accordance with their fiduciary duties, is sufficient to control the composition of the Board,

then, to the extent LTIPRs have not converted into Shares due to satisfaction of the relevant Vesting Conditions, LTIPRs will accelerate vesting conditions and will automatically convert into Shares on a one-for-one basis.

o) Deferral of conversion if resulting in a prohibited acquisition of Shares

If the conversion of a LTIPR under paragraphs (c) or (n) would result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( General Prohibition ) then the conversion of that LTIPR shall be deferred until such later time or times that the conversion would not result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. In assessing whether a conversion of a LTIPR would result in a contravention of the General Prohibition:

  • (i) holders may give written notification to the Company if they consider that the conversion of a LTIPR may result in the contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a LTIPR will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition; and

  • (ii) the Company may (but is not obliged to) by written notice to a holder request a holder to provide the written notice referred to in paragraph (o)(i) within 7 days if the Company considers that the conversion of a LTIPR may result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a LTIPR will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition.

p) No rights to return of capital

A LTIPR does not entitle the holder to a return of capital, whether in a winding up, upon a reduction of capital or otherwise.

q) Rights on winding up

45

A LTIPR does not entitle the holder to participate in the surplus profits or assets of the Company upon winding up.

  • r) ASX Listing Rule compliance

The Board reserves the right to amend any term of the LTIPRs to ensure compliance with the ASX Listing Rules.

  • s) No other rights

A LTIPR gives the holder no rights other than those expressly provided by these terms and conditions and those provided at law where such rights at law cannot be excluded by these terms.

46

g) Application to ASX

The Project Performance Rights will not be quoted on ASX. The Company must apply for the official quotation of a Share issued on conversion of a Project Performance Right on ASX within the time period required by the ASX Listing Rules.

h) Timing of issue of Shares on conversion

Within 5 business days after the date that the Project Performance Rights are converted, the Company will:

  • (i) issue the number of Shares required under these terms and conditions in respect of the number of Project Performance Rights converted;

  • (ii) if required, give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, or, if the Company is unable to issue such a notice, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors; and

  • (iii) if admitted to the Official List of ASX at the time, apply for official quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the conversion of the Project Performance Rights.

If a notice delivered under paragraph (h)(ii) for any reason is not effective to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors, the Company must, no later than 20 business days after becoming aware of such notice being ineffective, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors.

i) Transfer of Project Performance Rights

The Project Performance Rights are not transferable.

j) Participation in new issues

A Project Performance Right does not entitle a holder (in their capacity as a holder of a Project Performance Right) to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues without exercising the Project Performance Right.

k) Reorganisation of capital

l) Adjustment for bonus issues of Shares

If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to the Company’s existing shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) the number of Shares or other securities which must be issued on the conversion of a Project Performance Right will be increased by the number of Shares or other

48

securities which the holder would have received if the holder had converted the Project Performance Right before the record date for the bonus issue.

m) Dividend and voting rights

The Project Performance Rights do not confer on the holder an entitlement to vote (except as otherwise required by law) or receive dividends.

then, to the extent Project Performance Rights have not converted into Shares due to satisfaction of the relevant Vesting Conditions, Project Performance Rights will accelerate vesting conditions and will automatically convert into Shares on a onefor-one basis.

o) Deferral of conversion if resulting in a prohibited acquisition of Shares

If the conversion of a Project Performance Right under paragraphs (c) or (n) would result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( General Prohibition ) then the conversion of that Project Performance Right shall be deferred until such later time or times that the conversion would not result in a contravention of the General Prohibition. In assessing whether a conversion of a Project Performance Right would result in a contravention of the General Prohibition:

  • (i) holders may give written notification to the Company if they consider that the conversion of a Project Performance Right may result in the contravention of the General Prohibition. The absence of such written notification from the holder will entitle the Company to assume the conversion of a Project Performance Right will not result in any person being in contravention of the General Prohibition; and

  • (ii) the Company may (but is not obliged to) by written notice to a holder request a holder to provide the written notice referred to in paragraph (o)(i) within 7 days if the Company considers that the conversion of a Project Performance Right may result in a contravention of the General Prohibition.
