2 Resolutions 1 to 3 – Issue of Consideration Securities under the Share Purchase Agreement

2.1 General

As announced on 7 May 2025, the Company entered into a binding share purchase agreement ( Share Purchase Agreement ) with Resource Chain Pty Ltd ( Resource Chain ) and various unrelated third-party vendors ( Sellers ) pursuant to which the Company has agreed to acquire 100% of the issued capital in Resource Chain from the Sellers ( Resource Chain Acquisition ). Resource Chain holds a 100% legal and beneficial interest in the Tenements, which together comprise the Rolleston South Coal Project ( Project ).

The Project consists of the Tenements, which are 2 granted exploration permits for coal, covering an area of approximately 272km[2 ] located in the world-class Bowen coal basin in southeast Queensland. The Project is prospective for coal and had a 78.9Mt Inferred Resource under the JORC Code.

The material terms of the Share Purchase Agreement are summarised below.

  • ( Condition ) Completion of the Share Purchase Agreement ( Completion ) was subject to the Company satisfactorily completing its due diligence within 20 Business Days of the Execution Date on Resource Chain’s corporate matters, business, assets and options, including in relation to the Project.

  • ( Consideration ) The Sellers will be issued a total of 119,560,669 Shares and 86,045,322 Consideration Performance Rights, in proportion to their respective ownership in Resource Chain, as set out below:

  • ­ ( Completion Consideration Shares ) 72,353,672 Shares issued to the Sellers at Completion under the Company’s existing placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, to be ratified under Resolution 1;

  • ­ ( Deferred Consideration Shares ) 47,206,997 Shares to be issued to the Sellers following receipt of shareholder approval by the Company under Resolution 2; and

  • ­ ( Consideration Performance Rights ) 86,045,322 Consideration Performance Rights vesting and convertible into Shares upon the Company announcing to ASX that it has achieved an Inferred JORC Code Coal Resource of greater than 100Mt of coal at the Project and otherwise on the terms set out in Schedule 1, to be issued to the Sellers following receipt of shareholder approval by the Company under Resolution 3.

If the Company is unable to obtain shareholder approval for the issue of the Deferred Consideration Shares under Resolution 2 and the Consideration Performance Rights under Resolution 3, the Sellers forfeit their right to these Securities under the Share Purchase Agreement.

The other terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, including in relation to pre-Completion activities, warranties, indemnities, confidentiality and termination are considered customary for an agreement of this nature.

The Share Purchase Agreement completed on or about 19 May 2025. Accordingly, on or about 19 May 2025, the Company issued 72,353,672 Shares as Completion Consideration Shares under the Share Purchase Agreement to the Sellers (or their nominees) in proportion to their respective ownership of the Sale Shares in Resource Chain. The Completion Consideration Shares were issued using the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Due to having insufficient placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, the Company has not yet issued the 47,206,997 Deferred Consideration Shares and the 86,045,322 Consideration Performance Rights. The Company intends to issue both the 47,206,997 Deferred Consideration Shares upon receipt of Shareholder approval under Resolution 2 and the 86,045,322 Consideration Performance Rights upon receipt of Shareholder approval under Resolution 3.

Resolution 1 seeks the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Completion Consideration Shares.

Resolutions 2 and 3 seek the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of the Deferred Consideration Shares and Consideration Performance Rights respectively.

Resolutions 1, 2 and 3 are ordinary resolutions.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1, 2 and 3.

2.2 Listing Rules 7.1, 7.2 and 7.4

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more Equity Securities during any 12-month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (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 7.1.

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 7.1.

To this end, Resolution 1 seeks shareholder approval for the issue of the Completion Consideration Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 1, is passed, the Completion Consideration Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Completion Consideration Shares (being 19 May 2025).

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Completion Consideration Shares will be included in calculating the Company's 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the Shares (being 19 May 2025)

Furthermore, Listing Rule 7.2 sets out various types of equity issues that are excluded from the operation of Listing Rule 7.1. The issue of the Deferred Consideration Shares and Consideration Performance Rights do not fall within any of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1 set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The effect of Resolution 2 will be to allow the Company to issue the Deferred Consideration Shares during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed to issue the Deferred Consideration Shares and, pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, the Sellers will forfeit their right to the Deferred Consideration Shares.

The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Company to issue the Consideration Performance Rights during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed to issue the Consideration Performance Rights to the Sellers and, pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, the Sellers will forfeit their right to the Consideration Performance Rights.

2.3 Specific 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 the ratification of the issue of the Completion Consideration Shares:

  • (a) a total of 72,353,672 Completion Consideration Shares were issued on 19 May 2025 within the 15% annual limit permitted under Listing Rule 7.1, without the need for Shareholder approval; and

  • (b) the Completion Consideration Shares were issued as consideration under the Share Purchase Agreement;

  • (c) the Completion Consideration Shares issued were fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue;

  • (d) the Completion Consideration Shares were issued to the Sellers (or their nominees), being unrelated third parties of the Company as partial consideration for transferring their Sale Shares to the Company at Completion of the Share Purchase Agreement. No Seller is considered to be a “material investor” for the purposes of ASX Guidance Note 21, paragraph 7.4;

  • (e) as the Completion Consideration Shares were issued as partial consideration under the Share Purchase Agreement to the Sellers, there will be no net proceeds from the issue of the Completion Consideration Shares;

  • (f) the material terms of the Share Purchase Agreement under which the Completion Consideration Shares were issued are set out in section 2.1; and

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

  • (g) as the Deferred Consideration Securities will be issued as partial consideration under the Share Purchase Agreement to the Sellers, no funds will be raised from the issue of the Deferred Consideration Securities as they will be issued for nil cash consideration;

If elected, the Board considers Mr Robaina to be an independent Director.

Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.

The Board (other than Mr Robaina) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4 for the following reasons:

Schedule 3 – Summary of Employee Securities Incentive Plan

A summary of the key terms of the Plan is set out below:

  • 1 ( Purpose of Plan ): The purpose of the Plan is to:

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

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

  • (c) align the interests of Eligible Participants with shareholders of the Group (being the Company and each of its Related Bodies Corporate), by providing an opportunity to Eligible Participants to receive an equity interest in the Company in the form of Awards (being securities exercisable for Shares, including options and performance rights).

  • 2 ( Eligibility to participate ): An Eligible Participant means a person that:

  • (a) is a "primary participant” (as defined in section 1100L(1)(a) Corporations Act or any amendment or replacement thereof) in relation to the Company or a Related Body Corporate; and

  • (b) has been determined by the Board to be eligible to participate in the Plan from time to time.

  • 3 ( Permitted Nominees ): If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the Offer, they may, by written notice to the Board, nominate a Permitted Nominee in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the Offer.

A “Permitted Nominee” is defined as a “related person” of an Eligible Participant (section 1100L(b) of the Corporations Act) or a trustee(s) of a trust set up solely for the benefit of the Eligible Participant and/or a “related person”.

  • 4 ( Administration of Plan ): The Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may exercise any power or discretion conferred on it by the Plan rules in its absolute discretion. The Board may delegate its powers and discretion.

  • 5 ( Offers of Awards ): The Board may from time to time determine that an Eligible Participant may participate in the Plan and make an offer to that Eligible Participant to apply for Options or Performance Rights ( Awards ).

  • 6 ( Applications for Awards ): An Eligible Participant who wishes to apply to participate in the Plan in response to an Offer must provide a completed application form to the Company. The Board may accept an application from an Eligible Participant in whole or in part. If an Eligible Participant is permitted in the Offer, the Eligible Participant may, by notice in writing to the Board, nominate a party in whose favour the Eligible Participant wishes to renounce the invitation in order for that nominee to be granted the Awards the subject of the Offer.

  • 7 ( Grant of Awards ): The Company will, to the extent that it has accepted a duly completed application, grant the Participant the relevant number of Awards, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Offer, the Plan rules and any ancillary documentation required.

  • 8 ( Terms of Awards ): Each 'Award' represents a right to acquire one or more Shares (for example, under an option or performance right), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. Prior to an Award being exercised a Participant does not have any interest (legal, equitable or otherwise) in any Share the subject of the Award by virtue of holding the Award.

  • 9 ( Vesting of Awards ): Any vesting conditions applicable to the grant of Awards will be described in the Offer. If all the vesting conditions are satisfied and / or otherwise waived by the Board, a vesting notice will be sent to the Participant by the Company informing them that the relevant Awards have vested. Unless and until the vesting notice is issued by the Company, the Awards will not be

considered to have vested. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions relevant to an Award are not satisfied and / or otherwise waived by the Board, that Award will lapse.

  • 10 ( Delivery of Shares on exercise of Awards ): As soon as practicable after the valid exercise of an Award by a Participant, the Company will issue or cause to be transferred to that Participant the number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under the Plan rules and issue a substitute certificate for any remaining unexercised Awards held by that Participant.

  • 11 ( Exercise of Awards and cashless exercise ): In the case of an Award which is an Option, to exercise an Award, the Participant must deliver a signed notice of exercise and, subject to a cashless exercise of Awards (see below), pay the exercise price (if any) to or as directed by the Company, at any time prior to the earlier of any date specified in the vesting notice and the expiry date as set out in the invitation. In the case of an Award which is a Performance Right, following the issue of a Vesting Notice, a vested Performance Right will automatically be exercised within the period specified by the Board in the relevant Offer.

The Participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of Awards specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those Awards the Company will transfer or issue to the Participant that number of Shares as are equal in value to the difference between the total Exercise Price otherwise payable for the Awards on the Awards being exercised and the then market value of Shares at the time of exercise (determined as the volume weighted average of the prices at which Shares were traded on the ASX during the 5 trading-day period immediately preceding the exercise date) calculated in accordance with the following formula:

S = A ×[(MSP - EP)] MSP

Where:

  • (a) S = Number of Shares to be issued on exercise of the Awards;

  • (b) A = Number of Awards;

  • (c) MSP = Market value of Shares (calculated using the volume weighted average price (as that term is defined in the ASX Listing Rules) at which Shares were traded on the ASX during the 5 Trading Day period immediately preceding the exercise date); and

(d) EP = Exercise Price.

If the difference between the total Exercise Price otherwise payable for the Awards on the Awards being exercised and the then market value of Shares at the time of exercise (calculated in accordance with the formula above) is zero or negative, then a holder will not be entitled to use the Cashless Exercise Facility.

  • 12 ( Restrictions on Dealing ): A Participant may not sell, transfer, assign, grant a security interest over, option, swap, alienate or otherwise deal with an Award that has been granted to them.

The Board may impose a restriction on dealing with Shares allocated on exercise or vesting of an Award. The Board may implement any procedure it considers appropriate to ensure the compliance by the Participant with this restriction, including the imposition of a holding lock or requiring that Shares be held in trust on behalf of the Participant.

  • 13 ( Forfeiture of Awards ): Where a Participant who holds Awards ceases to be an Eligible Participant or becomes insolvent, all unvested Awards will automatically be forfeited by the Participant, unless the Board otherwise determines in its discretion to permit some or all of the Awards to vest. Where the Board determines that a Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly or wilfully breached his or her duties to the Group, the Board may in its discretion deem all unvested Awards held by that Participant to have been forfeited.

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

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

  • (b) any Awards which have not yet vested will be automatically forfeited on the expiry date specified in the invitation.

  • 14 ( Change of control ): If a change of control event occurs in relation to the Company, or the Board determines that such an event is likely to occur, the Board may in its absolute discretion determine that:

  • (a) all or a specified number of a Participant's unvested Awards are deemed to have vested;

  • (b) all or specified number of a Participant's Options may be exercised for a period specified by the Board, and if not exercised within that period, will lapse;

  • (c) the Dealing Restrictions or any other terms which apply to the Award cease to apply; and / or (d) the Dealing Restrictions which apply to Shares allocated on the vesting of or exercise of an Award (as applicable) cease to apply.

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

  • 16 ( Adjustment for capital reconstructions ): If there is a reorganisation of the issued share capital of the Company (including any subdivision, consolidation, reduction, return or cancellation of such issued capital of the Company), the rights of each Participant holding Awards will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applicable to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation. If Shares are issued by the Company by way of bonus issue (other than an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment), the holder of Awards is entitled, upon exercise of the Awards, to receive an allotment of as many additional Shares as would have been issued to the holder if the holder held Shares equal in number to the Shares in respect of which the Awards are exercised. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a holder of Awards does not have the right to participate in a pro rata issue of Shares made by the Company or sell renounceable rights.

  • 17 ( Participation in new issues ): There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Awards and holders are not entitled to participate in any new issue of Shares of the Company during the currency of the Awards without exercising the Awards.

  • 18 ( Amendment of Plan ): Subject to the following paragraph, the Board may at any time amend any provisions of the Plan rules, including the terms upon which any Awards have been granted under the Plan and determine that any amendments to the Plan rules be given retrospective effect, immediate effect or future effect.

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

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