EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement forms part of the Notice of Meeting convening the Annual General Meeting of Zeus Resources Limited to be held on Friday, 14 January 2022 at 1:00 pm (AEDT) at the offices of Boardroom Pty Limited, Level 12, 225 George Street, Sydney NSW 2000.

This Explanatory Memorandum is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in the accompanying Notice. Both documents should be read in their entirety and in conjunction with each other.

Terms used in this Explanatory Statement will, unless the context otherwise requires, have the same meaning as given to them in the Glossary contained in this Explanatory Statement.

Item 1 – Financial and related reports

Explanation

Section 317 of the Corporations Act requires the Company’s financial report, Directors’ report and auditor’s report for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 to be laid before the Company’s Annual General Meeting. There is no requirement for a formal resolution on this item. The financial report contains the financial statements of the consolidated entity consisting of Zeus.

As permitted by the Corporations Act, a printed copy of the Company’s 2021 Annual Report has been sent only to those shareholders who have elected to receive a printed copy. A copy of the 2021 Annual Report is available from the Company's website (www.zeusresources.com).

The Chairman of the Meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity at the Meeting for shareholders to ask questions. Shareholders will also be given a reasonable opportunity at the Meeting to ask the Company’s auditor questions about its audit report, the conduct of its audit of the Company’s financial report for the year ended 30 June 2021, the preparation and content of its audit report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company in its preparation of the financial statements and the independence of Company Auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report (non-binding resolution)

Explanation

Shareholders are asked to adopt the Company’s Remuneration Report. The Remuneration Report is set out in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report and is available from the Company's website (www.zeusresources.com). The Remuneration Report:

  • describes the policies behind, and the structure of, the remuneration arrangements of the Company and the link between the remuneration of executives and the Company’s performance;

  • sets out the remuneration arrangements in place for each Director and for certain members of the senior management team; and

  • explains the differences between the basis for remunerating Non-Executive Directors and senior executives, including the CEO.

7

The vote on this item is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. However, the Board will take into account any discussion on this item and the outcome of the vote when considering the future remuneration policies and practices of the Company.

Voting Consequences

Under the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on a Remuneration Report resolution are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report in two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the appointment of Directors of the Company at the second annual general meeting ( Spill Resolution ).

If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the extraordinary general 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 financial year ended immediately before the second annual general meeting) was approved, other than the Executive Directors 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 by the Shareholders will be the Directors of the Company.

At the Company’s previous Annual General Meeting, the votes cast against the Remuneration Report considered at that Annual General Meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement applies to this resolution, as set out in the Notice.

Chairman’s available proxies

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of this resolution.

Resolution 6 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility

Explanation

Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, every listed entity has the ability to issue 15% of its issued capital without shareholder approval in a 12-month period. ASX Listing Rule 7.1A permits eligible small and mid-cap ASX-listed entities, subject to shareholder approval, to issue Equity Securities of up to an additional 10% of its issued capital by way of placements over a 12-month period, in addition to its ability to issue securities under Listing Rule 7.1 ( 10% Placement Capacity ).

The Company seeks shareholders’ approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A for the 10% Placement Capacity. The effect of this resolution will be to allow the Company, subject to the conditions set out below, to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity without using its 15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 6 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person or by proxy) at the meeting must be in favour of this resolution for it to be passed. Eligibility

ASX-listed entities which have a market capitalisation of $300 million or less, and which are not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index, are eligible to seek shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. As at the date of this Notice, the Company is eligible to seek shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

Formula

The exact number of additional Equity Securities that the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined by a formula set out ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as follows:

(A x D) - E

Where:

A is the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of the 12-month period before the date of issue or agreement (relevant period):

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an exception in rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17,

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities 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 these rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4,

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within 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 these rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4,

11

  • plus the number of any other fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4,

  • plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the relevant period,

  • less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the relevant period.

(‘A’ has the same meaning in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% placement capacity.)

D is 10%.

E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under 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 rule 7.4.

Conditions of issue under the 10% Placement Capacity

There are a number of conditions applicable to the issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, including a limitation on the discount to prevailing market price at which they may be issued, and additional disclosure requirements. A summary of these conditions is as follows:

  • (a) Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity can only be in a class of securities already quoted. At the date of this Notice, the Company only has one class of securities which are quoted, being ordinary shares.

  • (b) The issue price of each Equity Security issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be no less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price ( VWAP ) for Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before either:

  • i. the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the securities; or

  • ii. if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (i), the date on which the securities are issued.

Period of validity of shareholder approval

In the event that the Company obtains shareholder approval of Resolution 10, such approval will cease to be valid upon the earlier of:

  • (c) 12 months after the date of this Annual General Meeting;

  • (d) the time and date of the entity’s next Annual General Meeting; or

12

  • (e) if applicable, the time and date on which the Company’s shareholders approve a change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2, or the disposal of the Company’s main undertaking under ASX Listing Rule 11.2,

(the Placement Period ).

Information to be provided to shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.3A

(f) Minimum issue price

The issue price of each Equity Security issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be no less than 75% of the VWAP for Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before either:

  • i. the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed by the entity and the recipient of the securities; or

  • ii. if the Equity Securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (i), the date on which the securities are issued.

(g) Risk of dilution to Shareholders

If Resolution 6 is approved by shareholders, any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity

may present a risk of economic and voting dilution of existing shareholders, including the risk that:

  • the market price of the Company’s Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the relevant issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • 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.

The table below shows the potential dilution of existing shareholders under various scenarios on the basis of:

  • an issue price of $0.089 per share which was the closing price of the Company’s shares on the ASX on 7 December 2021 ; and

  • the variable ‘A’ being calculated as the number of fully paid ordinary shares on issue as at the date of this Notice, being 219,150,000 .

The table also shows:

13

  • two examples where variable ‘A’ has increased by 20%, 50% and 100%. The number of shares on issue in the Company may increase as a result of the issue of shares that do not require approval of shareholders (for example, pro-rata entitlement issues or scrip issues under takeover offers) or future placements of shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 of up to 15% of issued capital that are approved at future general meetings of shareholders; and

  • two examples of where the issue price of shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100%.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • the Company issues the maximum number of shares available under the 10% Placement Capacity;

  • no options to acquire shares on issue in the Company are exercised, and no other convertible securities on issue convert into shares;

  • the 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue;

  • the table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular shareholder as a result of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity based on that shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting;

14

  • the table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and not under the 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;

  • the issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of shares; and

  • the issue price is $0.089, being the closing price of the Company’s shares on the ASX on 7 December 2021.

(h) Period of validity

The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 10 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that shareholders approve a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

(i) Reason for issue of shares under 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for cash consideration only, the proceeds of which will be applied to fund the Company’s existing and future activities, appraisal of corporate opportunities, investment in new businesses (if any), the costs incurred in undertaking placement(s) of shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.A and for general working capital.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

(j) Allocation policy

The Company may not issue any or all the Equity Securities for which approval is given and may issue the Equity Securities progressively as the Company places the Equity Securities with investors.

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to factors such as:

  • fundraising options (and their viability) available to the Company at the relevant time;

  • the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • the financial situation of the Company and the urgency of the requirement for funds; and

  • advice from the Company’s corporate, financial, legal and broking advisers.

The allottees under the 10% Placement Capacity have not been determined as at the date of this Notice.

It is intended that the allottees will be suitable professional and sophisticated investors, and other investors not requiring a disclosure document under section 708 of the Corporations Act, that are known to the Company and/or introduced by third parties.

15

The allottees may include existing substantial shareholders and/or new shareholders, but the allottees will not be related parties of the Company.

(k) Previous approval

The Company has not previously obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and this will be first time the Company will be using this facility if approved by the Shareholders.

If the resolution is not approved

If this resolution is not approved, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% Placement Capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval, as provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A, and will remain subject to the 15% Placement Capacity limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval as set out in Listing Rule 7.1. This may impact the Company's ability to raise funds of the same kind as outlined in the table above.

Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement applies to this resolution, as set out in the Notice.

Board Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of resolution 6.

Chairman’s available proxies

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of this resolution.

Resolution 7 – Amendment of Constitution

Explanation

Under Section 136(2) of the Corporations Act, a company can modify or repeal its constitution or a provision of its constitution by special resolution of shareholders. A special resolution requires the approval of 75% of the votes cast by the shareholders present or eligible to vote (in person, by proxy or corporate representative) in order to be passed.

This special resolution to amend the Constitution is proposed to the new constitution which is fit for the Company’s current purpose.

Copies of the Company's existing Constitution, and the Proposed Constitution, are available at https://www.zeusresources.com/investors/ . A copy of the Proposed Constitution can also be sent to Shareholders upon request to the Corporate Governance Advisor at [email protected].

It is proposed that clause 13.12 of the Company Constitution be amended to the following:

“13.12 Appointment of Director by Vast Honour Global Limited

16

While the Company is quoted on the official list of the ASX and Vast Honour Global Limited is the holder of more than 10% of the fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company:

  • (a) Vast Honour Global Limited may give notice in writing to the Company of one person Vast Honour Global Limited nominates as a Director of the Company; and

  • (b) the Board must, in accordance with Article 13.5 resolve to appoint the person nominated under Article 13.12(a) to be a Director, subject to that person being eligible for appointment under the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.”

The Company's current Constitution has not changed since initially adopted 2012. Since then, there have been a number of developments in the structure of the Company and the shareholding, previously the Constitution required Vast Honour Global Limited ( Vast ) to hold 30% of fully paid ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company in order for the clause 13.12 (a) and (b) to apply however Vast no longer holds 30% shareholding in the Company due to expansion of the Company and dilution of Shares and therefore it is proposed to amend the percentage of shareholding to 10% so that the clause 13.12 of the Company Constitution becomes relevant.

The Directors believe that it is preferable in the circumstances to replace the existing Constitution with the proposed changes. The Directors believe these amendments do not materially alter the position of shareholders in respect of the Company's governance, and accordingly will not have a significant impact on shareholders.

Board Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of resolution 7.

Chairman’s available proxies

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of this resolution.

Do not write the name of the issuer company or the registered securityholder in the space.

Appointment of a Second Proxy

You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by contacting the company’s securities registry or you may copy this form.

STEP 4 LODGEMENT

To appoint a second proxy you must:

(a) complete two Proxy Forms. On each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or the number of securities applicable to that form.

All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of securities are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number that you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item for all your securities your vote on that item will be invalid.

Proxy which is a Body Corporate

Where a body corporate is appointed as your proxy, the representative of that body corporate attending the meeting must have provided an “Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission.
