  • The acquisition agreement otherwise contains representations, warranties and undertakings which are customary for an agreement of its nature.

The WA Minerals Securities were issued to WA Minerals on 29 March 2023 using the Company’s existing placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of the WA Minerals Securities to WA Minerals.

E20/971

On 6 April 2023, the Company announced that it had acquired E20/971 from Northern Drilling. Refer to the Company’s announcement dated 6 April 2023 titled ‘Victory Expands Rare Earth Element Exploration Area by 46.5km[2’] for further details on E20/971 and the key acquisition terms.

On 10 May 2023, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments from professional and sophisticated investors for a placement to raise $3,000,000 (before costs) ( Placement ) through the issue of 12,500,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.24 and 4,166,667

9

unlisted Options (exercisable at $0.30 and expiring 11 November 2024) on the basis of one Option for every three Shares subscribed for in the Placement.

Proceeds from the Placement will be used to advance exploration at the Company’s projects including drilling programs aimed at finalising the maiden JORC (2012) Mineral Resources Estimate (MRE) at North Stanmore REE Project and for general working capital purposes and costs of the offer.

All Shares in the Placement were issued on 10 May 2023 using the Company’s existing placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 as follows:

  • 7,000,000 Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • 5,500,000 Shares issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.

Resolutions 1 and 2 seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of a total of 12,500,000 Shares. The Options to be issued to Placement Participants are subject to Shareholder approval under Resolution 3.

4. RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2 – RATIFICATION OF PLACEMENT

4.1 Placement

Further information on the Placement is set out in Section 3.3.

4.2 Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not (subject to specified exceptions), without the approval of shareholders, issue or agree to issue during any 12-month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as an option), if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue equity securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting at which shareholders approve the 10% placement facility. The 10% placement facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

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 (pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 or the additional 10% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A). If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company's capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

Accordingly, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of 7,000,000 of the Shares (which were issued in the Placement pursuant to the Company's 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4. Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of 5,500,000 of the Shares (which were issued in the Placement pursuant to the Company's additional 10% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

10

4.3 Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, the issue of the Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and additional 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Shares or during the balance of the 12 months from the date of the Company’s 2022 Annual General Meeting (as applicable).

If Resolutions 1 and 2 are not passed, the issue of the Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1 and additional 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Shares or during the balance of the 12 months from the date of the Company’s 2022 Annual General Meeting (as applicable).

Resolutions 1 and 2 are ordinary resolutions.

  • (a) 12,500,000 Shares have been issued pursuant to the Placement as follows:

  • (i) 7,000,000 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company's 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 on 10 May 2023. Ratification of the issue of these Shares is being sought pursuant to Resolution 1.

  • (f) The Shares were not issued pursuant to an agreement.

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

5. RESOLUTION 3 - APPROVAL TO GRANT PLACEMENT OPTIONS

5.1 General

As set out in Section 3.3, the Company has agreed, subject to Shareholder approval, to grant 4,166,667 Placement Options to the Placement Participants (or their nominees) as free attaching Options on the basis of 1 Placement Option for every 3 Shares subscribed for under the Placement.

11

The Company has agreed to grant the Placement Options subject to Shareholder approval. The grant of the Placement Options therefore requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is in Section 4.2.

Resolution 3 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the grant of the Placement Options under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the grant of the Placement Options to the Placement Participants and the grant of Placement Options 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 Resolution 3 is not passed, then the Company will not be able to proceed with the grant of Placement Options to the Placement Participants.

Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.

  • (h) The maximum number of securities the Company may grant under Resolution 3 is 4,166,667 Placement Options.

Accordingly, none of the Placement Participants are material investors for the purposes of ASX guidance note 21 paragraph 7.2.

  • (j) The Placement Options are each exercisable at $0.30 and expire on 11 November 2024. Full terms and conditions of the Placement Options are set out in Schedule 1.

James Bahen Non-Executive Director 500,000 Class A Performance Rights
500,000 Class B Performance Rights
Total 1,500,000 Class A Performance Rights
1,500,000 Class B Performance Rights

The Performance Rights provide an incentive component to the remuneration packages of the Directors and further aligns their interest with those of the Shareholders. The Board considers the incentives represented by the grant of the Director Performance Rights are a cost effective and efficient way for the Company to appropriately incentivise and reward the performance of the Board and motivate the Directors in their current roles, as opposed to alternative forms of incentives such as the payment of cash compensation.

6.2 Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act

Each of the Directors have a material personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 (as applicable to each Director) by virtue of the fact that these Resolutions are concerned with the issue of Performance Rights to each Director. Section 195 of the Corporations Act essentially provides that a director of a public company may not vote or be present during meetings of directors when matters in which that director holds a material personal interest are being considered. In the absence of Shareholder approval under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act, the Directors may not be able to form a quorum at Board meetings necessary to carry out the terms of these Resolutions. The Directors have accordingly exercised their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to put the issue to Shareholders to determine.

6.3

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,

13

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act. The grant of the Director Performance Rights to Mr Clark, Mr Matthews and Mr Bahen pursuant Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 constitutes giving a financial benefit and Mr Clark, Mr Matthews and Mr Bahen are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

As the Director Performance Rights 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 Performance Rights. Accordingly Shareholder approval for the issue of the Director Performance Rights is sought in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

6.4 Listing Rule 10.14

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities:

  • (a) a director of the entity;

  • (b) an associate of a director of the entity; or

  • (c) a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.14.1 to 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by security holders.

The issue of the Director Performance Rights involves the issue of securities to Directors which falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Director Performance Rights under and for the purposes of section 195(4) of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.14.

6.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Performance Rights to the Directors under the Plan, within three years 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 Director Performance Rights (because approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14), the issue of the Director Performance Rights will not use up any of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

If Resolutions 4, 5 and 6 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Performance Rights to Mr Clark, Mr Matthews and Mr Bahen under the Plan and may be required to consider alternative ways to remunerate and incentivise the Directors.

6.6 Technical information required by Listing Rule 10.15 and section 219 of the Corporations Act

The Company will seek Shareholder approval for Director and their associates participation in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

2. Purpose

The purpose of the Plan is to:

  • (a) assist in the reward, retention and motivation of Eligible Participants;

  • (b) link the reward of Eligible Participants to Shareholder value creation; and

  • (c) align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Group (being the Company and each of its Associated Bodies Corporate), by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Securities.

3. Plan administration

The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its sole and absolute discretion. The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.

4.

Eligibility, invitation and application

The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an invitation to that Eligible Participant to apply for Securities on such terms and conditions as the Board decides.

On receipt of an Invitation, an Eligible Participant may apply for the Securities the subject of the invitation by sending a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part.

If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the invitation, the Eligible Participant may subject to compliance with applicable law and by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation.

5.

Grant of Securities

The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the Participant the relevant number of Securities, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the invitation, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.

6.

Terms of Convertible Securities

Each "Convertible Security" represents a right to acquire one or more Shares (for example, under an option or performance right), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

Prior to a Convertible Security being exercised a Participant does not have any interest (legal,

25

equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Convertible Security by virtue of holding the Convertible Security. A Participant may not sell, assign, transfer, grant a security interest over or otherwise deal with a Convertible Security that has been granted to them unless otherwise determined by the Board. A Participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to a Convertible Security that has been granted to them.

7. Vesting of Convertible Securities

Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of Convertible Securities will be described in the invitation. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Convertible Securities have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Convertible Securities will not be considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to a Convertible Security are not satisfied and/or otherwise waived by the Board, that Convertible Security will lapse.

8. Exercise of Convertible Securities and cashless exercise

To exercise a Convertible Security, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Convertible Securities (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time following vesting of the Convertible Security (if subject to vesting conditions) and prior to the expiry date as set out in the invitation or vesting notice or otherwise by the method specified in the invitation.

An invitation may specify that at the time of exercise of the Convertible Securities, the Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Convertible Securities specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Convertible Securities the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the Market Value of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those Convertible Securities.

Market Value means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding that given date, unless otherwise specified in an invitation.

A Convertible Security may not be exercised unless and until that Convertible Security has vested in accordance with the Plan rules, or such earlier date as set out in the Plan rules.

9. Delivery of Shares on exercise of Convertible Securities

In accordance with the method and timing specified in the invitation or otherwise as soon as practicable after the valid exercise of a Convertible Security by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Convertible Securities held by that Participant.

10. Forfeiture of Convertible Securities

Where a Participant who holds Convertible Securities ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested Convertible Securities will automatically be forfeited by the Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Convertible Securities to vest.

Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly; committed an act which has brought the Company, the Group or any entity within the Group into disrepute, or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Group or where a Participant is

26

convicted of an offence in connection with the affairs of the Group; or has a judgment entered against him or her in any civil proceedings in respect of the contravention by the Participant of his or her duties at law, in equity or under statute, in his or her capacity as an employee, consultant or officer of the Group, the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Convertible Securities held by that Participant to have been forfeited.

Unless the Board otherwise determines, or as otherwise set out in the Plan rules:

  • (a) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be forfeited immediately on the date that the Board determines (acting reasonably and in good faith) that any applicable vesting conditions have not been met or cannot be met by the relevant date; and

  • (b) any Convertible Securities which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation or vesting notice.

11. Change of control

If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its discretion determine the manner in which any or all of the Participant's Convertible Securities will be dealt with, including, without limitation, in a manner that allows the Participant to participate in and/or benefit from any transaction arising from or in connection with the change of control event provided that, in respect of Convertible Securities, the maximum number of Convertible Securities (that have not yet been exercised) that the Board may determine will vest and be exercisable into Shares under this Rule is that number of Convertible Securities that is equal to 10% of the Shares on issue immediately following vesting under this Rule, which as far as practicable will be allocated between holders on a pro-rata basis on the basis of their holdings of Convertible Securities on the date of determination of vesting.

12. Rights attaching to Plan Shares

All Shares issued or transferred under the Plan, or issued or transferred to a Participant upon the valid exercise of a Convertible Security, (Plan Shares) will rank equally in all respects with the Shares of the same class. A Participant will be entitled to any dividends declared and distributed by the Company on the Plan Shares and may participate in any dividend reinvestment plan operated by the Company in respect of Plan Shares. A Participant may exercise any voting rights attaching to Plan Shares.

13.

Disposal restrictions on Plan Shares

If the invitation provides that any Plan Shares are subject to any restrictions as to the disposal or other dealing by a Participant for a period, the Board may implement any procedure it deems appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction.

For so long as a Plan Share is subject to any disposal restrictions under the Plan, the Participant will not:

  • (a) transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or have a security interest granted over that Plan Share; or

  • (b) take any action or permit another person to take any action to remove or circumvent the disposal restrictions without the express written consent of the Company.

14. Adjustment of Convertible Securities

If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the

27

rights of each Participant holding Convertible Securities will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.

If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the holder of Convertible Securities is entitled, upon exercise of the Convertible Securities, to receive an issue of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Convertible Securities are exercised.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Convertible Securities does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.

15. Participation in new issues

There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Convertible Securities and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company during the currency of the Convertible Securities without exercising the Convertible Securities.

16. Compliance with applicable law

No Security may be offered, grated, vested or exercised if to do so would contravene any applicable law. In particular, the Company must have reasonable grounds to believe, when making an invitation, that the total number of Plan Shares that may be issued upon exercise of Convertible Securities offer when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of offers made at any time during the previous three year period under:

  • (a) an employee incentive scheme of the Company covered by Division 1A of Part 7.12 of the Corporations Act; or

  • (b) an ASIC exempt arrangement of a similar kind to an employee incentive scheme,

  • (c) but disregarding any offer made or securities issued in the capital of the Company by way of or as a result of:

  • (i) an offer for no monetary consideration;

  • (ii) an offer to a person situated at the time of receipt of the offer outside Australia;

  • (iii) an offer that did not need disclosure to investors because of section 708 of the Corporations Act (exempts the requirement for a disclosure document for the issue of securities in certain circumstances to investors who are deemed to have sufficient investment knowledge to make informed decisions, including professional investors, sophisticated investors and senior managers of the Company); or

  • (iv) an offer made under a disclosure document,

would not exceed 5% (or such other maximum permitted under any applicable law) of the total number of Shares on issue at the date of the invitation.

17. Maximum number of Securities

The Company will not make an invitation under the Plan if the number of Plan Shares that may be issued, or acquired upon exercise of Convertible Securities offered under an invitation, when aggregated with the number of Shares issued or that may be issued as a result of all invitations

28

under the Plan, will exceed 15% of the total number of issued Shares at the date of the invitation.

18. Amendment of Plan

Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including (without limitation) the terms and conditions upon which any Securities have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.

No amendment to any provision of the Plan rules may be made if the amendment materially reduces the rights of any Participant as they existed before the date of the amendment, other than an amendment introduced primarily for the purpose of complying with legislation or to correct manifest error or mistake, amongst other things, or is agreed to in writing by all Participants.

19. Plan duration

The Plan continues in operation until the Board decides to end it. The Board may from time to time suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed period or indefinitely, and may end any suspension. If the Plan is terminated or suspended for any reason, that termination or suspension must not prejudice the accrued rights of the Participants.

If a Participant and the Company (acting by the Board) agree in writing that some or all of the Securities granted to that Participant are to be cancelled on a specified date or on the occurrence of a particular event, then those Securities may be cancelled in the manner agreed between the Company and the Participant.

20. Income Tax Assessment Act

The Plan is a plan to which Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) applies (subject to the conditions in that Act).

6.

SHARES ISSUED ON EXERCISE
