As described in Section 3.1 above, the Company issued a total of 18,000,000 January Placement Shares under the January Placement to the January Placement Participants using its available issuing capacities under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, in the following proportions

  • (a) 964,495 January Placement Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (b) 17,035,505 January Placement Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A.

3.4

Listing Rule 7.4

(a) Resolution 1

Broadly, 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 shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The January Placement does not fall within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s 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 from the issue date.

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 into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rules 7.1. To this end, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the January Placement under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the January Placement will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity

securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the January Placement will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

(b)

Resolution 2

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 additional to the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with Shareholder approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1A.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1A. To this end, Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the January Placement under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the January Placement will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the January Placement will be included in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

7.2

Section 208 of Corporations Act

In accordance with section 208 of the Corporations Act, to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must obtain Shareholder approval unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

Each Participating Director is a director of the Company and therefore a related party of the Company.

The Board has formed the view that Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required for the grant of Performance Rights as the grant of Performance Rights are considered to be reasonable remuneration for the purposes of section 211 of the Corporations Act.

7.3

Listing Rule 10.14

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme:

10.14.1 a director of the company;

10.14.2 an associate of a director of the company; or

10.14.3 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The issue of Performance Rights to Gary Lyons falls within 10.14.1 above and therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

If Resolutions 6 to 8 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Performance Rights to the Participating Directors. Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 will not be required as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.14 (Exception 14 under Listing Rule 7.1). Accordingly, the issue of Performance Rights will not be included in the Company’s 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting | Western Gold Resources Limited

| 20

If Resolutions 6 to 8 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Performance Rights to the Directors.

7.4 Section 195(4) of Corporations Act

Section 195(1) of the Corporations Act prohibits a director of a public company who has a material personal interest in a matter that is being considered at a directors’ meeting from being present while the matter is being considered at the meeting or voting on the matter. If there is not a quorum of directors who are eligible to vote on a matter because of the operation of section 195(1) of the Corporations Act, one or more directors may call a general meeting and the general meeting may deal with the matter.

A Director does not have a material personal interest in the issue of Shares to another Director (or their nominee(s)). However, given that it is proposed that the majority of Directors be issued Shares pursuant to Resolutions 6 to 8, they may be considered to have a material personal interest in the outcome of these Resolutions, in which case the Directors may be unable to form a quorum. Accordingly, the Board considers it prudent to exercise their right under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act and put the matter to Shareholders to resolve.

7.5 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.15 and section 219 of the Corporations Act

Resolutions 9 to 11 seek Shareholder approval in accordance with Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act (including sections 200B and 200E of the Corporations Act) and Listing Rule 10.19 for the potential vesting of Performance Rights on the directors ceasing to be an officer of, or holding a managerial or executive office, in the Company ( Potential Termination Benefits ).

These Resolutions relate to the following Participating Directors:

  • (a) Gary Lyons

  • (b) Teck Siong Wong

  • (c) Ryan Richard Mount

8.2 Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act

Under Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act, companies are restricted from providing termination benefits to individuals who hold managerial or executive office unless shareholder approval is obtained or an exception applies.

Each of the Directors listed above holds a managerial or executive office within the Company for the purposes of section 200AA of the Corporations Act.

Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought under sections 200B and 200E of the Corporations Act for any Potential Termination Benefits that may be paid to the Directors in connection with the cessation of their employment or office.

Shareholders are not being asked to approve any increase in the remuneration or entitlements of the Participating Directors. The proposed benefits are those that may arise under existing employment agreements or the Equity Incentive Plan.

8.3 Calculation of Potential Termination Benefits

The value of any Potential Termination Benefits cannot be determined in advance, as it will depend on various factors including:

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting | Western Gold Resources Limited

| 23

  • (a) the Company’s share price at the time of vesting of any incentive securities;

  • (b) the length of service and status of any unvested securities;

  • (c) the terms of the relevant Participating Directors employment agreement; and

  • (d) the number of unvested securities held at the time of cessation.

However, the value of the Potential Termination Benefits is set out in the table below and has been calculated on a "look through" basis based on the Company's share price of $0.062 on 14 May 2025, being the last practicable date before this Notice.

T5: 800,000 Nil 5 years 49,600

8.4 Listing Rule 10.19

Listing Rule 10.19 restricts the payment of termination benefits to officers of listed entities if the aggregate value of such benefits exceeds 5% of the entity’s equity interests, as disclosed in its most recent financial statements provided to ASX (the 5% Threshold ).

Given the potential uncertainty in the value of the Potential Termination Benefits payable, and in order to maintain flexibility, the Company seeks Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.19 for the grant of such benefits to the Participating Directors, in case the value exceeds the 5% Threshold.

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting | Western Gold Resources Limited

| 24

8.5 Effect of Shareholder approval

If Resolutions 9 to 11 are approved, the Participating Directors may receive termination benefits which exceed the 5% Threshold. Approval would remain effective for a period of three years from the date Resolutions 9 to 11 are passed, and will apply until the conclusion of the Company’s 2028 Annual General Meeting.

The Board may seek further Shareholder approval at that time, as necessary, to reflect changes in employment agreements or incentive plans in accordance with market practice and governance standards.

If Resolutions 9 to 11 are not approved, the Company will be restricted from providing termination benefits to the Participating Directors except where such benefits fall within an exception under the Corporations Act or do not breach the 5% Threshold.

8.6 Voting intentions and exclusions

The Chair intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolutions 9 to 11. A voting exclusion and voting prohibition statement applies to Resolutions 9 to 11 and is included in the Notice of Meeting.

8.7 Directors' recommendation

The Directors make no recommendation in respect to Resolutions 9 to 11.

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting | Western Gold Resources Limited

9 Cashless exercise

A Participant may, subject to the terms of any Offer, elect to exercise such vested Options by way of a ‘cashless exercise’. Where a Participant makes such an election, rather than the Participant being required to pay the Option Exercise Price for each Option to be exercised, the Company will issue the Participant with a smaller number of Shares on the exercise of the Options representing the difference between the value of the Shares to be issued and the Option Exercise Price. Where the Options are exercised by a ‘cashless exercise’, the Company will only issue such number of Shares as is determined by the following formula (rounded down to a whole number of Shares):

Numb er of Optio ns e xe rcise d x (Clo sing Sh are Price – O ptio n Ex erc ise Pr ice)

Closing Share Price

Where Closing Share Price means the closing Share price on the date of receipt by the Company of the exercise notice for the Options.

10 Shares

Shares resulting from the exercise of the Equity Incentives shall, subject to any Sale Restrictions (refer paragraph 12) from the date of issue, rank on equal terms with all other Shares on issue except as regards any rights attaching to such Shares by reference to a record date prior to the date of their issue.

11

Quotation of Shares

If Shares of the same class as those issued upon exercise of Equity Incentives issued under the Plan are quoted on the ASX, the Company will, subject to the Listing Rules, apply to the ASX for those Shares to be quoted on ASX within 10 business days of the later of the date the Shares are issued and the date any restriction period applying to the disposal of Shares ends.

12 Sale Restrictions

The Board may, in its discretion, determine at any time up until exercise of Equity Incentives, that a restriction period will apply to some or all of the Shares issued to an Eligible Participant (or their eligible nominee) on exercise of those Equity Incentives up to a maximum of fifteen (15) years from the grant date of the Equity Incentives. In addition, the Board may, in its sole discretion, having regard to the circumstances at the time, waive any such restriction period determined.

13 No Participation Rights
