(the "Company") will be held on December 20, 2024, Friday at 11:00 a.m. (BRT) / 9:00 a.m. (EST), at 300 Prof. Antônio Aleixo, Lourdes, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, 30180-150.

ORDINARY RESOLUTION – APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS

  1. To appoint RSM SG Assurance LLP as auditor of the Company in place of Ernst & Young LLP, and to authorize the directors of the Company to fix their remuneration.

SPECIAL RESOLUTION – REDUCTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

  1. That pursuant to Section 78A and Section 78C of the Companies Act 1967 (Singapore) ("Companies Act"), the Company reduces its share capital by returning to Shareholders paid-up share capital which is more than the Company needs by distributing to Shareholders ordinary shares in the share capital of Oby Rare Earths Pty Ltd ("Oby Shares") held by the Company to Shareholders ("Proposed Distribution" or "Distribution"), in proportion to their respective shareholdings in the Company, on the basis of 1 Oby Share for every 1 ordinary share in the share capital of the Company held by a Shareholder at such record date and time to be determined by the Board, disregarding fractional entitlements (where applicable). Except that for practical reasons, or where the Directors are of the view that such distribution may necessitate compliance with conditions or requirements which the Directors, in their absolute discretion, regard as onerous or impracticable by reason of costs, delay or otherwise, the Oby Shares will not be distributed to any such Shareholders ("Unqualified Shareholders"). Each Shareholder distributed with Oby Shares will be deemed to have consented to becoming an Oby Shareholder and be bound by its constitution.

That arrangements be made for the Oby Shares which would otherwise have been distributed to the Unqualified Shareholders pursuant to the Proposed Distribution to be held and retained by the Company for the benefit of the Unqualified Shareholders such that once the Oby Shares may be sold or transferred after the expiry of any expected restricted escrow holding period, the Company may appoint such person(s) as the Directors may nominate, who may sell such Oby Shares at prices prevalent at the time of sale (as the Directors deem fit) and thereafter distribute the aggregate amount of the net proceeds, after deducting all dealing and other expenses in connection therewith, proportionately among such Unqualified Shareholders according to the respective Oby Shares they would otherwise have been entitled to as at the Record Date in full satisfaction of their rights to the Oby Shares, provided that where the net proceeds to which any particular Unqualified Shareholder is entitled is less than $500, such net proceeds shall be retained for the benefit of the Company, and no Unqualified Shareholder shall have any claim whatsoever against the Company or Oby in connection therewith.

That any resulting fractional Oby Shares be aggregated and held by the Company for such purposes as the Directors deem fit.

That the Directors and each of them be and are hereby authorised and empowered to complete and do all such acts and things, decide all questions and exercise all discretions (including
