5. Resolution 2 – Re-Election of Director – Mr Sheldon Burt

5.1 General

In accordance with Listing Rule 14.5, an entity which has directors must hold an election of directors at each annual general meeting.

Article 6.14 of the Constitution requires that one third of the Directors (excluding the Managing Director) must retire at each annual general meeting (or if that number is not a whole number, the whole number nearest to one third, rounded down). Article 6.16 of the Constitution requires that the Directors to retire are those who have held their office as Director for the longest period since their last election or appointment to that office. In the event two or more Directors have held office for equal periods of time, the retiring Directors are to be determined by lot, unless otherwise agreed by those Directors.

Article 6.17 of the Constitution provides that a Director who retires under Articles 6.13 to 6.15 (inclusive) or Article 6.23 is eligible for re-election.

Mr Burt retires by rotation in accordance with Articles 6.14 and 6.16 of the Constitution and seeks re-election in accordance with Article 6.17.

If elected, the Board does not consider Mr Burt to be an independent director due to his role as an executive director of the Company.

Resolution 2 provides that Mr Burt retires by rotation and seeks re-election as a Director.

If Resolution 2 is passed, Mr Burt will be entitled to be a Director of the Company for the next three years. Mr Burt has advised the Company that he intends to resign from the Board when an appropriate nominee has been found and approved for appointment.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, Mr Burt will cease to be a Director of the Company.

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.

  • 11 -

5.2 Mr Sheldon Burt

Mr Burt is a drilling industry professional with over 35-years national and international experience. He started his career as a Drillers Offsider in 1986 and has held many differing roles over the years which include field based, operational, senior management, executive management and company ownership.

Mr Burt's international experience extends from South East Asia to the Middle East and West Africa. In 2004 he co-founded and was the Managing Director of SBD Drilling, a Perth based exploration drilling company with successful operations in Australia and West Africa, before selling in July 2011.

More recently Mr Burt was General Manager of Easternwell Minerals, a subsidiary of Broadspectrum (formerly Transfield Services Ltd), a position he held for 6 years.

5.3 Board Recommendation

The Board (excluding Mr Burt) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

6. Resolution 3 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility

6.1 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.

Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A enables an Eligible Entity to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, so a combined limit of 25%, without any further Shareholder approval.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to provide the Company the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period (refer to Section 6.2(f) below). The number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 6.2(c) below).

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A up to 10% of its issued share capital over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting, in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the 10% Placement Facility to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 3 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

6.2 Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Is the Company an Eligible Entity?

An Eligible Entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that, as at the date of its annual general meeting, is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less.

  • 12 -

The Company expects that it will be an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 index and currently has a market capitalisation of approximately $241 million, based on the closing price of Shares $0.465 on 9 October 2024.

(b) What Equity Securities can be issued?

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of Equity Securities of the Company.

As at the date of the Notice, the Company has on issue one quoted class of Equity Securities, being Shares.

(c)

How many Equity Securities can be issued?

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that Eligible Entities which have obtained Shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12-month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

Where:

  • A is the number of Shares on issue at the commencement of the Relevant Period:

  • (a) plus the number of Shares issued in the Relevant Period under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 7;

  • (b) plus the number of Shares issued in the Relevant Period on the conversion of convertible securities within rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

    • the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the Relevant Period; or

    • the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.4;

  • (c) plus the number of Shares issued in the Relevant Period under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

    • the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the Relevant Period; or

    • the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under the Listing Rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • (d) plus the number of any other Shares issued in the relevant period with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • (e) plus the number of partly paid ordinary shares that became fully paid in the Relevant Period; and

  • (f) less the number of Shares cancelled in the Relevant Period.

  • 13 -

Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

D is 10%.

  • E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the Relevant Period where the issue or agreement has not been subsequently approved by the Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.4.

(d) What is the interaction with Listing Rule 7.1?

The Company's ability to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A will be in addition to its 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

At the date of the Notice, the Company has on issue 517,444,829 Shares and, therefore has a capacity to issue:

  • (i) 77,616,724 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) subject to Shareholder approval being sought under Resolution 3, 51,744,483 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The above does not take into account the potential issue of the 10,000,000 Up Front Consideration Shares the subject of Resolution 6 and the potential issue of up to 30,000,000 Deferred Consideration Shares the subject of Resolution 7. It also assumes that Shareholders have ratified the issue of the Placement Shares under Resolutions 4 and 5.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 6.2(c)).

(e)

At what price can the Equity Securities be issued?

The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same 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; or

(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 Trading Days of the date in paragraph 6.2(e)(i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued,

( Minimum Issue Price ).

(f) When can Equity Securities be issued?

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:

(i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained;

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

(iii) the time and date of Shareholder approval of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

(the 10% Placement Period ).

  • 14 -

(g) What is the effect of Resolution 3

The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without further Shareholder approval or using the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

6.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided in relation to the 10% Placement Facility:

(a) Minimum issue price

If the Company issues Equity Securities for cash consideration under the 10% Placement Facility, then the issue price will be not less than the Minimum Issue Price.

If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' economic and voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table (in the case of listed Options, only if the listed Options are converted into Shares).

The below table shows:

  • (i) the dilution of existing Shareholders based on the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (see Section 6.2(c)) as at the date of the Notice ( Variable A );

  • (ii) two examples where Variable A has increased, by 50% and 100%; and

(iii) two examples of where the issue price of Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

Notes:

  1. The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  2. (a) the issue price is $0.465, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 9 October 2024, being the latest practicable date before the date of the Notice;

  3. (b) Variable A is 517,444,829, comprising 100% of the Shares as at the date of the Notice, assuming the Company has not issued any Shares in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 or without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4;

  4. (c) the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility;

  5. (d) no convertible securities (including any convertible securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility) are exercised or converted into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities; and

  6. (e) the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares. If the issue of Equity Securities includes Options, it is assumed that those Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders.

  7. The number of Shares on issue (i.e. Variable A) may increase as a result of issues of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue, scrip issued under a takeover offer or upon exercise of convertible securities) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting.

  8. 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%.

  9. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.

  10. The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

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

  • (ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date or the

  • 16 -

Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.

(c) Timing of potential issues

Approval of the additional 10% Placement Facility will be valid during the 10% Placement Period.

(d) Purposes of issues under 10% Placement Facility

In the event funds were raised under the 10% Placement Facility, the Company would likely use such funds raised for the acquisition of new assets or investments, and/or for general working capital purposes.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 upon issue of any Equity Securities.

(e)

Allocation policy

The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities is not yet known and will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

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

  • (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (iv) advice from its professional advisors, including corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of the Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not a related party or an associate of a related party of the Company.

(f) Issues in the past 12 months

The Company has previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 23 November 2023.

In the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting and as at the date of the Notice, the Company issued 42,195,586 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A. This represents all of the Equity Securities the Company had the capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 6.2(c)), i.e. 10% of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of that preceding 12 month period plus the number of Shares issued in the Relevant Period on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9.

These Equity Securities were issued under the Placement. The Company seeks Shareholder ratification of the issue of these Equity Securities under Resolution 5. For further information regarding the issue of these Equity Securities, including who they

  • 17 -

were issued to, their issue price, the total amount raised from the issue and the intended use of funds raised, please refer to sections 7.1 and 7.5 below.

(g) Voting exclusion statement

A voting exclusion statement has been included in the Notice for Resolution 3.

At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

6.4 Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

7. Resolutions 4 and 5 – Ratification of Prior Issue of Placement Shares

7.1 Background to Placement

As announced on 13 September 2024, the Company secured firm commitments from institutional and other professional and sophisticated investors to raise $38,000,000 (before costs) via a single tranche placement by way of the issue of a total of 95,488,965 Shares at an issue price of $0.40 per Share ( Placement Shares ) ( Placement ).

On 19 September 2024, the Company issued 53,293,379 Placement Shares pursuant to the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity (being the subject of this Resolution 4) ( LR7.1 Placement Shares ) and 42,195,586 Placement Shares pursuant to the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1A placement capacity ( LR7.1A Placement Shares ) (being the subject of this Resolution 5).

The Company engaged the services of Morgans Corporate Limited ABN 32 010 539 607 and Unified Capital Partners Pty Ltd ACN 666 560 050 to act as joint lead managers and bookrunners to the Placement ( Joint Lead Managers ). The Company paid the Joint Lead Managers the following fees in relation to the Placement:

  • (a) Management fee: $954,889.65 being 2.5% of $38,195,586 total funds raised;

  • (b) Selling fee: $572,933.79 being 1.5% of total funds raised; and

  • (c) Incentive fee: $190,977.93 being 0.5% of total funds raised.

The net proceeds raised from the Placement will be used by the Company to fund:

  • (a) the upfront cash consideration of $24 million payable at completion of the acquisition of CMP, and any working capital/debt adjustment payable by Vysarn under the working capital and debt adjustment mechanism under the SSA;

  • (b) associated transaction costs in relation to the acquisition of CMP and the Placement (including but not limited to the fees paid to the Joint Lead Managers summarised above);

  • (c) the ongoing development of the water resource with the Kariyarra Aboriginal Corporation under the Joint Resource Agreement as announced to the ASX on 13 May 2024, including the 5C water licence application (Kariyarra Water Source) ; and

  • (d) the Company’s normal working capital requirements.

  • 18 -

Further information in relation to the acquisition of CMP is included in Sections 8, 9,10, 11 and Schedule 2.

7.2

General

As summarised in Section 7.1 above, the Company issued the Placement Shares to the Placement Participants on 19 September 2024. 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. The LR7.1 Placement Shares were issued within this capacity and therefore did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of the issue.

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 23 November 2023. The issue of the Listing Rule 7.1A Placement Capacity Shares was made in accordance with this Shareholder approval.

The issue of the LR7.1 Placement Shares 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 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of issue of the LR7.1 Placement Shares.

7.3

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.

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 and to permit the Company to issue the maximum number of Equity Securities under its 10% Placement Facility if Resolution 3 is passed. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the LR7.1 Placement Shares and the LR7.1A Placement Shares. Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the LR7.1 Placement Shares and Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the LR7.1A Placement Shares.

7.4

Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolutions 4 and 5 are passed, the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s combined 25% limit under 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 Placement Shares.

If Resolutions 4 and 5 are not passed, the Placement Shares 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 Placement Shares.

7.5

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 4 and 5:

  • (a) the Placement Shares were issued to institutional and other professional and sophisticated investors who were identified by the Joint Lead Managers in conjunction with the Directors ( Placement Participants ). The Placement Participants were identified through a bookbuild process, which partly involved the Joint Lead Managers

  • (e)

  • the Placement Shares were issued on 19 September 2024;

  • (f) the issue price was $0.40 per Placement Share pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A. The issue price represented:

  • (i) a 15.8% discount to the last closing price of the Company’s Shares of $0.475 on 10 September 2024 (being the last trading day prior to the receipt of firm commitments from the Placement Participants);

  • (ii) an 11.3% discount to the 5-day VWAP of the Company’s Shares of $0.45 leading up to and including 10 September 2024; and

  • (iii) a 7% discount to the 5-day VWAP of the Company’s Shares of $0.45 prior leading up to and including 10 September 2024.

  • (g) the Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Placement Shares;

  • (h) the purpose of the Placement was to raise $38,000,000, which will be used by the Company to fund the upfront cash consideration of $24 million payable on completion of the acquisition of CMP, and any working capital/debt adjustment payable by Vysarn under the working capital and debt adjustment mechanism under the SSA, associated transaction costs in relation to the acquisition of CMP and the Placement (including but not limited to the fees paid to the Joint Lead Managers summarised in Section 7.1 above), the ongoing development of the Kariyarra Water Source and normal working capital requirements; and

  • (i) the Placement Shares were not issued under an agreement.

9. Resolution 6 – Ratification of agreement to issue Upfront Consideration Shares to the CMP Sellers

9.1 General

As set out in Section 8.2(a) above, the Company has entered into the SSA to acquire 100% of the issued shares in CMP. Under the SSA, the Company agreed to issue the Upfront Consideration Shares as part consideration for the acquisition of CMP. The agreement to issue these Shares was made utilising the Company’s existing 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. The Upfront Consideration Shares will be issued to the CMP Sellers at Completion.

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval to ratify the agreement to issue the Upfront Consideration Shares for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4, a summary of which is set out in Section 7.3.

Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue or agree to 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 Upfront Consideration Shares does not fall within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2, and accordingly it effectively uses up part of the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval for the 12 month period following the date of the agreement to issue the Upfront Consideration Shares.

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 approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify

  • 23 -

the agreement to issue the Upfront Consideration Shares so that it does not use up any of the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

9.2

Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 6 is passed, the Upfront Consideration Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the agreement to issue the Upfront Consideration Shares.

If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Upfront Consideration Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of the agreement to issue the Upfront Consideration Shares.

9.3

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 Resolution 6:

  • (a) the Upfront Consideration Shares are to be issued to the CMP Sellers;

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

  • (i) related parties of the Company, members of the Company’s Key Management Personnel, substantial holders of the Company, advisers of the Company or an associate of any of these parties; and

  • (ii) will be issued more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;

  • (c)

  • a total of 10,000,000 Upfront Consideration Shares will be issued;

  • (d) the Upfront Consideration Shares to be 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 Upfront Consideration Shares will be issued on completion of the Acquisition of CMP, which is expected to take place in late November 2024;

  • (f) the Upfront Consideration Shares are being issued as part consideration for the Company’s acquisition of CMP pursuant to the SSA. The deemed issue price of the Upfront Consideration Shares is $0.30 per Share;

  • (g) the Upfront Consideration Shares are being issued as part consideration for the Company’s acquisition of CMP pursuant to the SSA. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the Upfront Consideration Shares;

  • (h) the purpose of the issue of the Upfront Consideration Shares is as part consideration for the Company’s acquisition of CMP pursuant to the SSA; and

  • (i) the Upfront Consideration Shares are being issued pursuant to the SSA.

9.4

Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

  • 24 -

10. Resolution 7 – Approval to issue Deferred Consideration Shares to the CMP Sellers

10.1 General

As set out in Section 0(a) above, the Company has entered into the SSA to acquire 100% of the issued shares in CMP. Part of the consideration for the Acquisition includes the issue of up to 30,000,000 Deferred Consideration Shares over the Earn Out Period, subject to achievement by CMP of the EBITDA Targets summarised in Schedule 2.

The issue of the Deferred Consideration Shares is conditional on Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and for all purposes (which Shareholder approval is being sought under Resolutions 7 and 8), and ASX granting a waiver from the requirement in Listing Rule 7.3.4 for the Deferred Consideration Shares to be issued within 3 months from the date of Shareholder approval. The ASX waiver has been granted and is summarised in 10.3.

Completion of the Acquisition is also conditional on Shareholders approving the issue of the Deferred Consideration Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and for all purposes (which Shareholder approval is being sought under Resolutions 7 and 8).

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 Deferred Consideration Shares 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.

10.2 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 7 is passed, the issue of the Deferred Consideration Shares 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 7 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Deferred Consideration Shares, and will not be able to complete the acquisition of CMP, and the SSA will be terminated.

Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Deferred Consideration Shares.

10.3 Waiver of Listing Rule 7.3.4

Listing Rule 7.3.4 requires a notice of meeting with a resolution to approve the issue of Equity Securities to state that the securities will be issued within three months of the date of the shareholder’s meeting. The Company has obtained a waiver from the ASX to the extent necessary to permit the Company to not state in this Notice that the Deferred Consideration Shares will be issued within three months of the date of the Meeting, subject to the following conditions:

  • (a) the EBITDA Targets and Acceleration Events must not be varied;

  • (b) the Deferred Consideration Shares must be issued by the earlier of:

  • (i) if the EBITDA Target for a Milestone Period or Milestone Periods is achieved, by no later than 10 business days from the date on which the EBITDA for CMP is agreed or determined for the relevant Milestone Period; or

  • (ii) if an Acceleration Event occurs, by no later than 10 business days from the date on which the Acceleration Event occurs,

and in any event no later than 15 March 2028;

  • 25 -

  • (c) the maximum number of Deferred Consideration Shares to be issued is capped at 30,000,000;

  • (d) adequate details regarding the dilutionary effect of the Deferred Consideration Shares on the Company’s capital structure is included in the Notice;

  • (e) the Notice contains the material terms and conditions of the agreement pursuant to which the Deferred Consideration Shares are to be issued;

  • (f) the the terms and conditions of the waiver are clearly disclosed in the Notice to ASX’s satisfaction;

; and

  • (g) for any annual reporting period during which any of the Deferred Consideration Shares remain to be issued, the Company’s annual report sets out the number of Deferred Consideration Shares that remain to be issued and the basis on which the Deferred Consideration Shares may be issued.

10.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.1

  • 26 -

11. Resolution 8 – Approval of potential termination benefits which may be provide to the CMP Founders

11.1 General

As noted in Section 8.1 above, the CMP Founders are currently directors and senior executives of CMP, and will remain with CMP as senior executives on completion of the Acquisition to continue to manage and grow CMP.

Under the SSA, if certain Acceleration Events occur during the Earn Out Period (as summarised in Schedule 2), the CMP Sellers will be entitled to any Deferred Consideration Shares which have not already been issued to them during the Earn Out Period, irrespective of whether the EBITDA Targets for CMP have been achieved. One such event is where the employment of any CMP Founder is terminated without cause or if any CMP Founder is made redundant during the Earn Out Period. If such an event occurs, the CMP Seller that is associated with the CMP Founder that has been terminated without cause or made redundant will receive its respective proportion of the Deferred Consideration Shares which have not already been issued to the CMP Sellers during the Earn Out Period.

The issue of the Deferred Consideration Shares is conditional on Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and for all purposes (which Shareholder approval is being sought under Resolutions 7 and 8), and ASX granting a waiver from the requirement in Listing Rule 7.3.4 for the Deferred Consideration Shares to be issued within 3 months from the date of Shareholder approval. The ASX waiver has been granted and is summarised in 10.3 above.

Completion of the Acquisition is also conditional on Shareholders approving the issue of the Deferred Consideration Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and for all purposes (which Shareholder approval is being sought under Resolutions 7 and 8).

11.2

Listing Rule 10.19

Listing Rule 10.19 provides that an entity must ensure that no officer of the entity or of any of its child entities will be, or may be, entitled to ‘termination benefits’ if the value of those benefits and the termination benefits that are or may become payable to all officers together exceed 5% of the equity interests of the entity as set out in the latest accounts given to ASX under the ASX Listing Rules, unless the entity obtains shareholder approval for the giving of such termination benefits.

The issue of any Deferred Consideration Shares to a CMP Seller due to its associated CMP Founder being terminated without cause or made redundant during the Earn Out Period , will be a ‘termination benefit’ for the purpose of Listing Rule 10.19.

The value of the Deferred Consideration Shares that may be issued to a CMP Seller in these circumstances cannot presently be ascertained at this time and will depend on the actual number of any Deferred Consideration Shares that may be issued and the market price of Shares at the date of issue. However, the value of any such Deferred Consideration Shares may exceed 5% of the equity interests of the Company at the relevant time.

Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the purpose of Listing Rule 10.19 in relation to any such termination benefits described above that the CMP Founders (indirectly) may be entitled to, if their employment is terminated without cause or if they are made redundant during the Earn Out Period.

If Resolution 8 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Acquisition and will also be able to accelerate the issue of any Deferred Consideration Shares to a CMP Seller in the circumstances described above. If Resolution 8 is not passed, the Acquisition will not complete.

11.3

Sections 200B and 200E of the Corporations Act

Section 200B of the Corporations Act provides that a company may only give a person a benefit in connection with their ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office in the company or a

  • 27 -

related body corporate if the giving of the benefit has been approved by shareholders under section 200E of the Corporations Act or an exemption applies.

Section 200B of the Corporations Act applies to manager or executive officers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and will include the CMP Founders as senior executives of CMP following Completion.

The term ‘benefit’ has a wide operation and includes a payment or other valuable consideration, any kind of real or personal property and any legal or equitable interest in real or personal property and any legal or equitable right.

The issue of any Deferred Consideration Shares to a CMP Seller due to its associated CMP Founder being terminated without cause or being made redundant during the Earn Out Period may be considered a ‘benefit’ for the purpose of sections 200B and 200E of the Corporations Act.

Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the purpose of sections 200B and 200E of the Corporations Act for any such benefit which any of the CMP Founders may (indirectly) receive, if their employment is terminated without cause or if they are made redundant during the Earn Out Period.

If Shareholders approve Resolution 8, and if the employment of any CMP Founder is terminated without cause or any CMP Founder is made redundant during the Earn Out Period and no Deferred Consideration Shares have previously been issued during the Earn Out Period, a maximum of 10,000,000 Deferred Consideration Shares may be issued to each CMP Seller that is associated with the CMP Founder that has been terminated without cause or made redundant during the Earn Out Period.

The actual number of Deferred Consideration Shares that may be issued to any CMP Seller in these circumstances will depend on the number of any Deferred Consideration Shares previously issued to the CMP Seller on or before the date on which the employment of the CMP Founder associated with that CMP Seller is terminated without cause or the CMP Founder is made redundant during the Earn Out Period.

The value of the Deferred Consideration Shares that may be issued if the employment of any CMP Founder is terminated without cause or any CMP Founder is made redundant during the Earn Out Period cannot presently be ascertained at this time and will depend on the actual number of any Deferred Consideration Shares that may be issued and the market price of Shares at the date of issue.

The price of the Shares on ASX on 9 October 2024, being the latest practicable date before the date of the Notice, was $0.465.

If Resolution 8 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Acquisition and will also be able to accelerate the issue of any Deferred Consideration Shares to a CMP Seller due to its associated CMP Founder being terminated without cause or being made redundant during the Earn Out Period. If Resolution 8 is not passed, the Acquisition will not complete.

The Buyer must provide to the CMP Sellers a draft statement of CMP’s EBITDA (Draft
Deferred Consideration Statement), based on the audited financial statements for each
Milestone Period within 15 business days following their preparation. The CMP Sellers have
10 business days following receipt of the Draft Deferred Consideration Statement to dispute
the Draft Deferred Consideration Statement. If the parties cannot resolve the dispute within
an additional 25 business days, the dispute may be referred to, within 10 business days, an
expert (being a firm of chartered accountants) for resolution.
3.
Calculation of
EBITDA for CMP
for each Milestone
Period

consolidated with the accounts and financial statements of Vysarn);
(b)
the following items are to be excluded:
(i)
any costs incurred by or allocated to CMP to meet the compliance
or other requirements of being a Vysarn group company;

(ii) any transactions with any other Vysarn group company other than
transactions entered into on arms’ length terms agreed by the CMP
Sellers;
(iii) any one-off or non-recurring items related to the transactions under
the SSA or losses which are otherwise met by the CMP Sellers
under a claim or outside the ordinary course of the business (for
example, pursuing acquisition or inorganic expansion opportunities);
(iv) one-off or extraordinary revenue items;
(v) revenue received in the form of government grants, allowances,
rebates or other hand-outs;
(vi) revenue or profit that has been manufactured to achieve the target
EBITDA for a Milestone Period; and
(vii) the impact of any breach of the other provisions below;
(c) in a manner consistent with the principles, policies and procedures used to
prepare CMP’s 30 June 2024 financial statements to the extent the principle,
policy or procedure is not inconsistent with the Accounting Standards; and
(d) otherwise, in a manner consistent with the Accounting Standards.

Accounting Standards means the accounting standards made by the Australian Accounting Standards Board in accordance with the Corporations Act, and the requirements of the Corporations Act relating to the preparation and content of financial statements, but on a pre AASB16 basis.

Business under the supervision of CMP’s board of directors;

manner and in the ordinary course and for the purpose of developing and

CMP business stand-alone for the purposes of calculating CMP’s
EBITDA for each Milestone Period (whether or not ultimately
consolidated with the accounts and financial statements of the other
Vysarn group companies);
(ii) does not enter into any contract or commitment in relation to the
CMP business which is not on arm’s length terms;
(iii) does not pass a resolution to wind up CMP or to cause CMP to stop
carrying on the CMP business, except as necessary to comply with
any applicable law; and
(iv) does not take any action with the dominant purpose of, or which
results in, minimising, hindering or impeding CMP’s ability to
achieve the target EBITDA for a Milestone Period in a material
respect.
