ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Notice of Meeting and Proxy Form

Eon NRG Limited (ASX:E2E) ( Eon or the Company ) provides its Notice of Meeting and proxy form for the Company’s Annual General Meeting ( AGM or Meeting ) scheduled for 9.00am (Perth time) on Friday 31 July 2020.

In holding the meeting later than 31 May 2020, the Company is relying on the Australian Securities and Investments Commission’s ( ASIC ) public “no-action” position advice that was recently published, under which ASIC advised that it will take no action if a company postpones its AGM (which is usually required to be held by 31 May) by up to two months to no later than 31 July 2020.

In light of the continuing developments in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, Shareholders will be able to physically attend the Eon AGM this year but precautions will be taken and attendee numbers at the AGM location may be limited. Eon will seek to live stream the Meeting (details to be provided in due course) but this will not extend to the capacity for Shareholders to ask questions live on the day of the meeting without being present or submitting the questions in writing before the meeting.

Although Eon understands and respects the importance of the AGM to Shareholders, the Company takes seriously its responsibility to its Shareholders, employees and the wider community to slow the spread of COVID-19 by avoiding environments of heightened risk.

All resolutions that are on the agenda for the AGM will be decided on a poll. Each poll will be conducted based on votes submitted by proxy and at the Meeting by shareholders who have indicated that they intend to vote at the AGM in accordance with the instructions set out below.

To assist the Company in managing the AGM efficiently, Shareholders are asked to submit any questions in advance of the AGM. Questions can be submitted to the Company Secretary at [email protected]. Shareholders are limited to a maximum of two questions each (including any submitted in advance of the Meeting).

The Notice of meeting and Proxy form (copy attached) have been mailed to shareholders.

Authorised by:

Matthew McCann Chairman

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT TO NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

3

A reasonable opportunity will be given for the discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

In accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 (Item 2) is a non-binding resolution. The Board will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by Shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the Meeting when reviewing the Company’s remuneration policies.

Under the Corporations Act, if 25 per cent or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution (a “spill resolution”) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s directors (other than the Managing Director) must go up for re-election. It is noted that at the Company’s last annual general meeting, the votes cast against the remuneration report represented less than 25 per cent of the total votes cast and accordingly, a spill resolution will not under any circumstances be required for the Annual General Meeting.

A voting prohibition applies to Resolution 1 in the terms set out in the Notice of Meeting.

ITEM 3 - RESOLUTION 2: RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR (MR. MATTHEW McCANN)

The Constitution requires that at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third (rounded to the nearest whole number), shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.

The Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots.

A Director who retires by rotation is eligible for re-election.

The Company currently has four Directors (one being the Managing Director) and accordingly one must retire. Mr. McCann has agreed to retire by rotation in accordance with the Constitution and seeks re-election.

The profile of Mr. McCann is set out below.

Mr McCann earned a Doctorate of Jurisprudence from the University of Oklahoma--College of Law in 1995 and a B.Sc. in Business Administration from the University of Vermont in 1991.

In 2001, after serving in private practice in the US for 6 years, Mr McCann became General Counsel at Riata Energy, Inc., which later became SandRidge Energy, Inc., a NYSE listed corporation. Before leaving SandRidge in 2007, he ultimately served as Senior Vice President, General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary. From 2007-2015 Matt worked for the Riata Corporate Group, a large privately-owned group of companies that has substantial oil and gas interests in the US where he focused on business development.

Mr McCann was Chief Executive Officer at TransAtlantic Petroleum Ltd, a TSX and NYSEMKT listed oil and gas exploration and production company from 2009 until 2011 where he was instrumental in growing TransAtlantic from a junior explorer to a significant international oil and gas producer.

Other current public company appointments in addition to Eon NRG Limited are:

  • None

Additional directorships in the last 3 years include:

  • Blue Ridge Mountain Resources (previously Magnum Hunter Resources)

The Board (with Mr. McCann abstaining) unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

A voting prohibition applies to Resolution 2 in the terms set out in the Notice of Meeting.

ITEM 4 - RESOLUTION 3: ELECTION OF DIRECTOR (MR. SIMON ADAMS)

The Board appointed Mr. Simon Adams as a Director on 26 June 2019.

The Constitution requires that a Director appointed by the Board to fill a casual vacancy must retire as a Director at the next annual general meeting of the Company.

Mr. Adams therefore retires at the Meeting in accordance with the Constitution and, being eligible, offers himself for election by Shareholders at the Meeting.

The profile of Mr. Adams is set out below.

Mr Adams has a wide range of experience in the area of corporate and financial management, corporate compliance and business development. Mr Adams has worked in a range of industries across the resource and industrial sectors.

ITEM 5 - RESOLUTION 4: RATIFICATION OF PREVIOUS ISSUE OF SHARES TO SMARTEQUITY EIS PTY LTD AS TRUSTEE FOR THE EON NRG LTD EMPLOYEE SHARE TRUST, FOR THE PURPOSE OF LISTING RULE 7.4

The employment contracts of a number of senior employees provide for the issue of shares for up to 10% of their remuneration. On 30 June 2020, the Company issued 13,238,846 Shares to SmartEquity EIS Pty Ltd as trustee for the Eon NRG Ltd Employee Share Trust (“Trustee”) (the “Trust”) without disclosure to investors under the exceptions provided in section 708 of the Corporations Act.

The Shares were issued to the Trustee as part of employee remuneration for employees (details below) and will be held by the Trustee on behalf of the employees until various performance conditions have been met by those employees. The 13,238,846 Shares were issued at A$0.001 per Share.

The Employee Share Trust – How it works

The Company has set up the Trust through third party service provider SmartEquities Pty Ltd (”SE”), to facilitate the distribution of Shares to its employees as part of their remuneration package. The Trustee of the Trust is SmartEquity EIS Pty Ltd (which is SE’s employee share plan administration company) and its role is to hold relevant Shares on behalf of Company employees until performance conditions have been met and those employees are entitled to receive the benefit of the Shares. The Trustee must act in accordance with the Board’s instructions.

Once performance conditions have been met by the employee, the employee can either request that the Shares be transferred to them or instruct the Trustee to sell their Shares on-market and be given the net sale proceeds.

Employees who do not meet their performance conditions will not be entitled to the benefit of any applicable Shares held by the Trustee.

ASX Listing Rules

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue, or agree to issue, during any 12 month period any Equity Securities 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 7.4 states that an issue by a company of securities made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 and the company’s members subsequently approve it.

Under this Resolution, the Company seeks from Shareholders approval for, and ratification of, the issue of securities set out below so as to limit the restrictive effect of Listing Rule 7.1 on any further issues of securities by the Company in the next 12 months.

Listing Rule 7.5 requires the following specific information to be provided:

  • (a) The shares were issued to SmartEquity EIS Pty Ltd as trustee for the IEon NRG Ltd Employee Share Trust, for the benefit of the two employees of the Company set out in the table below, subject to certain performance conditions being met. The number of Shares applicable to each employee and the applicable performance condition are also set out in the table below:

The securities issued collectively comprise approximately 1.72% of the Company’s share capital (as at the date of this document).

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4. A voting prohibition applies to Resolution 4 in the terms set out in the Notice of Meeting.

ITEM 6 - RESOLUTION 5: ISSUE OF SHARES TO SMARTEQUITY EIS PTY LTD AS TRUSTEE FOR THE EON NRG LTD EMPLOYEE SHARE TRUST, FOR THE BENEFIT OF EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY (MR JOHN WHISLER AND MR SIMON ADAMS) FOR THE PURPOSE OF LISTING RULE 10.11

The Company proposes to issue 27,328,809 shares to SmartEquity EIS Pty Ltd (the “Trustee”) as trustee for the Eon NRG Ltd Employee Share Trust for the benefit of Mr. John Whisler (19,527,115 shares), Managing Director, and Simon Adams (7,801,694 shares), CFO and Company Secretary, as part of their remuneration packages. The Shares will be issued to the Trustee as part of Mr Whisler’s and Mr Adams’ remuneration (details below) and will be held by the Trustee on behalf of Mr Whisler and Mr Adams until various performance conditions have been met.

Mr Whilser and Mr Adams are entitled to receive shares equivalent to 10% of his annual salary in shares under their employment contracts. This remuneration entitlement for Mr Whisler and Mr Adams has not been paid in full since 2014. To determine the number of shares to be issued, the Board has considered the market share price for Eon NRG Ltd shares as at the entitlement date for each of the entitlement years and in the case of Mr Whisler, has determined the entitlement value by converting his salary (paid in US$) at the average exchange rate for the year of the entitlement. The share price of the Company’s shares and exchange rate (for conversion of MR Whisler’s US$ salary to AUD) at each of the entitlement dates was as follows:

Entitlement Date Share Price (A$) US$:AU$
Exchange rate
31 December 2014
31 December 2015
31 December 2016
31 December 2017

$0.724
$0.769
$0.745
$0.696

Listing Rule 10.11 permits a Director to be issued new Equity Securities of the Company if Shareholder approval is obtained. Under Listing Rule 10.11, the Company must obtain the approval of its Shareholders by ordinary resolution before it can issue Equity Securities to a Related Party or a person whose relationship with the Company or Related Party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that Shareholder approval should be obtained.

Mr. Whisler, as Managing Director, and Mr. Adams, as a Director (as well as CFO and Company Secretary), are Related Parties of the Company in accordance with section 228 of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, the proposed issue of 27,328,809 shares to Mr. Whisler and Mr. Adams requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT TO NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Further, Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue, or agree to issue, during any 12 month period any Equity Securities if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period. Shares issued under this Resolution would fall within an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. If approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.

The Employee Share Trust – How it works

The Company has set up the Trust through third party service provider SmartEquities Pty Ltd (”SE”), to facilitate the distribution of Shares to its employees as part of their remuneration package. The Trustee of the Trust is SmartEquity EIS Pty Ltd (which is SE’s employee share plan administration company) and its role is to hold relevant Shares on behalf of Company employees until performance conditions have been met and those employees are entitled to receive the benefit of the Shares. The Trustee must act in accordance with the Board’s instructions.

Once performance conditions have been met by the employee, the employee can either request that the Shares be transferred to them or instruct the Trustee to sell their Shares on-market and be given the net sale proceeds.

Employees who do not meet their performance conditions will not be entitled to the benefit of any applicable Shares held by the Trustee.

PROXY FORM

- 1 -

Voting by Proxy - How to complete the Proxy Form Your Name, Address and Shareholder Details

Your name and address is shown on the form of proxy as it appears on the share register of Eon NRG Limited.

Appointment of a Proxy

Please write the name of that person you wish to appoint as proxy in the space indicated. If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chairman will be your proxy and vote on your behalf. A proxy need not be a shareholder of Eon NRG Limited.

Votes on Items of Business

You may direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark one of the three boxes opposite each item of business. All your Shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy will vote as he or she chooses to the extent permitted by law. If you mark more than one box on an item, your vote on that item will be invalid.

Appointment of a Second Proxy

If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning the Company or you may copy this form.

To appoint a second proxy you must:

  • indicate that you wish to appoint a second proxy by marking the box;

  • on each of the first Proxy Form and the second Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or number of shares applicable to that form; and

  • return both forms together.

Authorised Signature/s

You must sign this form as follows in the spaces provided:

  • Individual: Where the holdings is in one name, the Shareholder must sign.

  • Joint Holding Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders should sign.

  • Power of Attorney If signed under a Power of Attorney, you must have already lodged it with the Company, or alternatively, attach the Power of Attorney or a certified copy to this Proxy Form when you return it.

  • Companies Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can also sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held.

If a representative of the corporation is to attend the meeting and a proxy form is not used, then an appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Representative” should be produced prior to admission.

Attending the Meeting

Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual Shareholders from attending the meeting in person if they wish. Where a Shareholder completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the meeting in person, the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that Shareholder is suspended while the Shareholder is present at the meeting.

Lodgement of Proxy Form

This Proxy Form and any Power of Attorney or other authority under which it is signed must be received no later than 48 hours before the commencement of the meeting. Any Proxy Form received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled meeting.

Documents may be lodged by facsimile to the Company’s registered office on +61 8 6144 0593, or by mail to GPO Box Z5207, St George’s Terrace, Perth WA 6831 or delivery to the registered office of the Company at Level 1, 20 Howard Street, Perth WA 6000 (during business hours – Monday to Friday 9:00am to 5:00pm) or emailed to the Company Secretary at [email protected].
