2. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SHARES AND PLACEMENT OPTIONS – TRANCHE 1 (LISTING RULES 7.1 AND 7.1A)

2.1 General

On 2 December 2020, the Company issued 16,666,668 Shares at an issue price of $0.045 per Share together with one free attaching Option for every two Shares subscribed for and issued to raise approximately $750,000 ( T1 Placement Securities ).

The T1 Placement Securities were issued as follows:

  • (a) 8,333,334 T1 Placement Options were issued pursuant to the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 (being, the subject of Resolution 1); and

  • (b) 16,666,668 T1 Placement Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s 7.1A mandate which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 27 November 2020 (being, the subject to Resolution 2).

As detailed in Section 1.2 above, the Company engaged the services of Euroz Hartleys and Cenkos as joint lead managers to the Placement. Euroz Hartleys has agreed to provide these services in part consideration for the amounts set out in Section 1.2 above. A summary of the material terms of the Placement Mandate Letters are set out in Schedule 2.

2.2

Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

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 12 month period.

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

The Company obtained approval to increase its limit to 25% at the annual general meeting held on 27 November 2020.

The issue of the T1 Placement Securities does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the T1 Placement Securities .

2.3

Listing Rule 7.4

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.

9

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 T1 Placement Securities.

Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the T1 Placement Securities.

2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the T1 Placement Securities will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the T1 Placement Securities.

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the T1 Placement Securities will 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 the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the T1 Placement Securities.

2.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 1 and 2:

  • (a) the T1 Placement Securities were issued to Delphi Unternehmensberatung Aktiengesellschaft ( T1 Placement Participants ). and

  • (b) 16,666,668 Shares were issued and 8,333,334 Options were issued on the following basis:

  • (i) 8,333,334 Options issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 1); and

  • (ii) 16,666,668 Shares issued pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 2);

  • (c) the T1 Placement Shares issued to participants in the Placement were all 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 T1 Placement Options issued to participants in the Placement were issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1;

  • (e) the T1 Placement Securities were issued on 2 December 2020;

  • (f) the issue price per Share was $0.045 per T1 Placement Share and the issue price of the T1 Placement Options was nil as they were issued free attaching with the Shares on a one for two basis. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the T1 Placement Securities (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the T1 Placement Options);

10

  • (g) the purpose of the issue of the T1 Placement Securities was to raise $750,000, which will be applied towards advancing its portfolio of four standalone potash projects in the South Harz region of Germany which host a combined 5.3 billion tonnes of potash resource, the largest potash resource in western Europe. Specifically, funds raised will allow the Company to move forward with a confirmatory drilling program at the first of these projects, the Ohmgebirge project, to upgrade the classification of the existing resource from the Inferred category to Measured and Indicated and facilitate the release of its economic study. Work will also commence on Ohmgebirge’s definitive feasibility study with the balance of funds raised to be used for working capital purposes; and

  • (h) the T1 Placement Securities were issued to the T1 Placement Participants under the Euroz Hartleys Placement Mandate Letter and Cenkos Placement Mandate Letter. A summary of the material terms of each is set out in Schedule 2.

3. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE PLACEMENT SHARES AND OPTIONS – TRANCHE 2

3.1 General

As detailed in Section 1.1 above, the Company is proposing to issue the T2 Placement Securities.

As summarised in Section 2.2 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.

The proposed issue of the T2 Placement Securities does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

3.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the T2 Placement Securities. In addition, the issue of the T2 Placement Securities 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.

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the T2 Placement Securities.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the T2 Placement Securities.

3.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1

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

  • (a) the T2 Placement Securities will be issued to professional and sophisticated investors who are clients of Euroz Hartleys and Cenkos ( T2 Placement Participants ). The recipients will be identified through a bookbuild process, which will involve Euroz Hartleys and Cenkos seeking

11

  • (d) 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;

  • (e) the Options will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1;

  • (f) the T2 Placement Securities will be issued no later than 3 months 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 T2 Placement Participants will occur on the same date;

  • (g) the issue price will be $0.045 per Share and nil per Option as the Options will be issued free attaching with the Shares on a one for two basis. The Company will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Shares and Options (other than in respect of funds received on exercise of the Options);

  • (h) the purpose of the issue of the T2 Placement Securities is to raise approximately $8,550,000. The Company intends to apply the funds raised from the issue towards advancing its portfolio of four standalone potash projects in the South Harz region of Germany which host a combined 5.3 billion tonnes of potash resource, the largest potash resource in western Europe. Specifically, funds raised will allow the Company to move forward with a confirmatory drilling program at the first of these projects, the Ohmgebirge project, to upgrade the classification of the existing resource from the Inferred category to Measured and Indicated and facilitate the release of its economic study. Work will also commence on Ohmgebirge’s definitive feasibility study with the balance of funds raised to be used for working capital purposes.;

  • (a) 222,222 Shares together with 111,111 free attaching Options to Dr Chris Gilchrist (or his nominee);

  • (b) 11,111,111 Shares together with 5,555,556 free attaching Options to Mr Rory Luff (or his nominee);

Director Dr Reinout Koopmans intends to also participate in the Placement, however on varied terms to the other investors ( Koopmans Participation ).

Resolution 9 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 1,500,000 Shares to Dr Reinout Koopmans.

4.2 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 Participation and the Koopmans Participation will result in the issue of securities which constitutes giving a financial benefit and Messrs Gilchrist, Luff, Koopmans, Plaggemars, Farmer and Van der Laan are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

In respect of Resolutions 4 to 8, the Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Participation because the Shares will be issued to Messrs Gilchrist, Luff,

13

Plaggemars, Farmer and Van der Laan (or their nominees) on the same terms as Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

In respect of Resolution 9, the Directors (other than Dr Reinout Koopmans) who has a material personal interest in Resolution 9) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the Koopmans Participation because the Shares will be issued to Dr Reinout Koopmans (or their nominee) on varied terms in that Dr Reinout Koopmans will not be issued any Placement Options and shall only be issued Placement Shares at a marginally discounted price (and as more particularly described below) however otherwise on the same terms and conditions as those issued to non-related party participants, notwithstanding the varied terms being offered, the Directors are of the belief giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.

4.3 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:

  • 10.11.1 a related party;

  • 10.11.2 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;

  • 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;

  • 10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • 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 Participation and Koopmans 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.

Resolutions 4 to 9 seek Shareholder approval for the Participation and Koopmans Participation under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

4.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 4 to 9 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the securities under the Participation and the Shares in the case of the Koopmans Participation 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 4.5(f) below. As approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the securities in respect of the Participation and Shares in respect of the Koopmans Participation (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule

14

10.11), the issue of the relevant securities will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 4 to 9 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the securities under the Participation and or the Koopmans Participation and no further funds will be raised in respect of the Placement.
