2. RESOLUTION 1: ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
2.1 General
The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s Annual General Meeting, a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted must be put to the Shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for a financial year.
The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.
2.2 Voting consequences
A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company (Spill Resolution) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.
4 |
If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder meeting (Spill Meeting) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
All of the Directors of the Company who were in office when the Directors' report (as included in the Company’s annual financial report for the most recent financial year) was approved, other than the Managing Director of the Company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.
Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as Directors of the company is approved will be the Directors of the Company.
2.3 Previous voting results
Greater than 75% of shares were voted in favour of the adoption of the remuneration report at the 2023 AGM.
3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR GREG CHANNON
3.1 General
ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting following the Director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is longer.
Clause 13.2 of the Company’s Constitution requires that at every Annual General Meeting of the Company one-third of the Directors (rounded down to the nearest whole number) shall retire from office. The Directors to retire are those who have been longest in office since their last election. A Director who retires by rotation under clause 13.2 is eligible for re-election.
The Company currently has 2 Directors (excluding the Managing Director) and accordingly 1 must retire.
Mr Channon, the Director longest in office since his last election, retires by rotation and seeks re-election as a Director.
3.2 Qualifications and other material directorships
Mr Channon is a geologist with over 35 years of global oil and gas experience in a variety of technical and leadership roles. He is currently Executive Chairman of RL Energy, and a Non-executive Director of Samson Oil and Gas Limited
During his career, Mr Channon has worked with a range of E&P companies including Delhi, Santos, Fletcher Challenge Energy, Shell, Swift Energy, BrightOil and Pathfinder. He has lived and worked in Australia, New Zealand, USA, Hong Kong, China and Africa.
Mr Channon has a large range of diverse oil and gas expertise, including exploration, operations, development, production, economics, commercial negotiations, new ventures, business development and IPO start-ups. He has sat on the Board of Directors of companies listed on the ASX, NYSE, TSX and HKSE.
3.3 Independence
If re-elected, the Board considers Mr Channon will be an independent Director by virtue of being a Non-executive Director.
3.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 2 is passed, Mr Channon will be re-elected to the Board as a Non-executive Director.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, Mr Channon will not be re-elected to the Board as a Non-executive Director and the Board will have the capacity and requirement under its constitution of appointing a Director to ensure it can make up a quorum for meetings of Directors. This Director would then be required under the constitution and the ASX Listing Rules to stand for re-election at the next AGM.
5 |
The Board unanimously supports the re-election of Mr Channon.
3.5 Board recommendation
4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR
4.1 General
On 27 May 2024, in accordance with section 327C of the Corporations Act 2001, the Company appointed BDO Audit Pty Ltd (BDO Audit) as auditor of the Company following ASIC’s consent to the resignation of the previous auditor of the Company, BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd, in accordance with Section 329(5) of the Corporations Act 2001 (the Act).
Following the above appointment, and in accordance with Section 327C(2) of the Act, BDO Audit holds office as auditor until the Company’s next Annual General Meeting, being the meeting the subject of this Notice of Meeting.
In accordance with section 327B(1)(b), the Company now seeks Shareholder approval for the ongoing appointment of BDO Audit as auditor of the Company and its controlled entities.
In accordance with section 328B of the Act, notice in writing nominating BDO Audit as auditor has been given to the Company by a shareholder. A copy of this notice is attached to this Notice of Meeting at Appendix 1.
BDO Audit has provided to the Company, and has not withdrawn, its written consent to act as auditor of the Company, in accordance with Section 328A(1) of the Act. If this Resolution 3 is passed, the appointment of BDO Audit as the Company’s auditor will take effect as at the close of this Meeting.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will be required to commence the process of appointing a new auditor for the Company.
4.2 Board Recommendation
The Board unanimously supports the appointment of BDO Audit as the Company’s auditor and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution 3.
5. SPECIAL RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY - SHARES
5.1 General
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital over a period up to 12 months after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ).
An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:
-
(a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
-
(b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.
The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of approximately $2.9 million.
Any Equity Securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares ( ASX Code: XST ).
If Shareholders approve Resolution 4, the number of Equity Securities the Eligible Entity may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2, being (A x D) – E, whereby:
A = number of fully paid ordinary ( FPO ) securities on issue at commencement of the relevant period; plus
6 |
the number of FPO issued in the relevant period under exceptions in Listing Rule 7.2[1] ; plus
the number of FPO issued in the relevant period with approval under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4; plus
the number of party paid ordinary securities that become FPO in the relevant period; less
the number of FPO cancelled in the relevant period.
D = 10%; and
E = 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 holders of its ordinary securities under Listing Rule 7.4..
The effect of Resolution 4 will be to allow the Company to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 4 is a Special Resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 4 for it to be passed.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to issue up to 10% of its fully paid ordinary share securities on issue under the 10% placement capacity during the period of up to 12 months after the approval.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to issue up to 10% of its fully paid ordinary share securities on issue under the 10% placement capacity during the period of up to 12 months after the approval.
The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval of Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula contained within that Listing Rule.
5.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 4:
(a) Minimum Price
The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX 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 ASX trading days of the date above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.
(b) Approval period
The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting;
-
(ii) the time and date of the entity’s next annual general meeting; and
-
(iii) the time and date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking).
1 Issues under LR 7.2 exception 9 must be a conversion of convertible securities that were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period, or issued during the relevant period with approval under LR 7.1 or 7.4
Issues under LR 7.2 exception 16 relate to an agreement to issue securities. To comply with LR 7.2 exceptions, the agreement to issue securities must have been entered into either before the entity was listed and the agreement disclosed in its prospectus, PDS or information memorandum, or if the agreement entered into after listing, the agreement have complied with the Listing Rules.
7 |
(c) Risk of economic and voting dilution
Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 4 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Equity Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.
| Shares on issue Variable A1 in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 |

- 1 The number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
The table above uses the following assumptions:
-
(a) The current shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 3 April 2025;
-
(b) No options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities;
-
(c) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. That is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%;
-
(d) The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 3 April 2025;
-
(e) The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity;
-
(f) The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;
8 |
-
(g) The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances; and
-
(h) This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.
(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity
The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for cash consideration only. The funds raised may be used for ongoing product development, specific asset purchases, marketing and general working capital purposes
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rule 7.1A(4) upon issue of any Equity Securities.
(e)
Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity
The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will be dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of the proposed placement(s).
The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the recipients at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
-
(v) prevailing market conditions; and
-
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new resources, assets or investments.
9 |
(f) Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
The Company obtained approval under Listing Rule 7.1A on 29 April 2024. The Company
not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A in the 12 months preceding the Date of the Annual General Meeting.
Voting Exclusion
A voting exclusion statement has not included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 4.

Instructions for completing Proxy Form
- ( Appointing a proxy ): A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. However, where both proxies attend the Meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.
2.
( Direction to vote ): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.
3. ( Signing instructions ):
-
( Individual ): Where the holding 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 you have not already provided the power of attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the power of attorney to this Proxy Form when you return it.
-
( Companies ): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. In addition, if a representative of a company is appointed pursuant to Section 250D of the Corporations Act to attend the Meeting, the documentation evidencing such appointment should be produced prior to admission to the Meeting. A form of a certificate evidencing the appointment may be obtained from the Company.
-
( 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, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that Shareholder is suspended while the Shareholder is present at the Meeting.
-
( Return of Proxy Form ): To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:
-
In person to Level 1, 31 Cliff St, Fremantle, WA, 6160.
-
By mail to PO Box 584, Fremantle, WA, 6959 or
-
By scan and email to the Company Secretary at [email protected]
so that it is received not less than 48 hours prior to commencement of the Meeting.
Proxy Forms received later than this time will be invalid.
