Eligibility to Vote

Regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth) permits the Company to specify a time, not more than 48 hours before a general meeting, at which a 'snap-shot' of Shareholders will be taken for the purposes of determining Shareholder entitlements to vote at the Meeting.

The Board has determined that the registered holders of fully paid ordinary shares at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on 31 March 2025 will be taken to be holders of ordinary shares for the purposes of the Meeting and accordingly, will be entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting.

How to Vote

A Shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting may do so:

using the online platform;
by proxy;
by corporate representative (if the Shareholder is a corporation); or

We recommend logging in to the online platform at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start time for the Meeting using the instructions below:

Enter https://meetings.openbriefing.com/NVXAGM25 into a web browser on your computer or online device;
Shareholders will need their SRN or HIN (found on holding statements or at the top of the Proxy Form); and
Proxyholders will need their proxy code which MUFG Corporate Markets (AU) Limited will provide via email prior to the Meeting.

Resolution 5 – Issue of FY24 Share Rights to Mr Nick Liveris

Introduction

Consistent with Non-Executive Director remuneration and governance practices based on peer group companies in the United States, Non-Executive Director remuneration includes the grant of annual equity awards using a value-based approach. The Board has decided to follow these remuneration and governance practices by issuing share rights to Non-Executive Directors of the Company for each financial year with a fixed US dollar value (Share Rights), subject to approval of Shareholders at each annual general meeting of the Company.

 

Nick Liveris was appointed to the Board on 1 September 2024. Nick Liveris did not previously receive any Share Rights for FY24. In order to align the number of Share Rights awarded to Nick Liveris with other Non-Execute Directors for FY24, he will receive a pro rata entitlement of 43,815 Share Rights pursuant to Resolution 5 (FY24 Share Rights) for the period in which he held office as a Director in FY 24 (totalling 121 days). This represents a value of USD $18,232.88 converted into Shares using the USD/AUD spot rate and the Company's Share price as at the date of his appointment as a Director (1 September 2024), being $0.615 per Share.

 

The issue of the FY24 Share Rights are to be put to Shareholders for approval under Resolution 5.

The Share Rights will automatically vest following the close of the Meeting (Vesting Date), provided that Nick Liveris holds office as a Director at the Vesting Date. Upon vesting, all Share Rights entitle Nick Liveris, by written notice to the Company, to subscribe for Shares on the basis of one Share for each Share Right, for nil cash consideration. Share Rights that are not exercised before 31 December 2025 will automatically lapse.

 

There are otherwise no performance or vesting conditions attached to the Share Rights.

 

Share Rights – Other terms

There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Share Rights and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Share Rights.

If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares to Shareholders, the number of Shares which must be issued on the exercise of a Share Right will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder would have received if the holder had exercised the Share Right before the record date for the bonus

 

page 12


Novonix Limited

ACN 157 690 830

 

issue. If the Company makes a rights issue of Shares pro rata to existing Shareholders, there will be no adjustments to these terms and conditions.

 

If there is any reconstruction of the issued share capital of the Company, the rights of the holders may be varied to comply with the Listing Rules which apply to the reconstruction at the time of the reconstruction.

The Share Rights are not transferable, assignable or able to be otherwise disposed of or encumbered.

Regulatory Requirements

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the company unless either the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the exceptions to the provisions; or prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit.

 

Related party is widely defined under the Corporations Act, and includes directors of a company and the children of a director. Financial benefit is defined broadly and includes benefits from the public company’s subsidiaries. It is necessary to look at the economic and commercial substance and the effect of the transaction in determining the financial benefit. The Corporations Act requires that any consideration that is given is disregarded, even if the consideration is adequate. The proposed grant of Share Rights constitutes the giving a financial benefit to Nick Liveris as he is a related party of the Company.

 

The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of the Share Rights because the grant of the Share Rights forms part of their remuneration package and is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances.

 

Shareholder Approval

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to a related party unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders. The proposed issue of the Share Rights to Nick Liveris falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and none of the exceptions under Listing Rule 10.12 applies, therefore requiring Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11.

 

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of Share Rights to Nick Liveris.

 

If Shareholder approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11, Shareholder approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1, which restricts the number of new securities which the Company can issue in any 12 month period to 15% of the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the issue date, unless Shareholder approval has been obtained or an exception applies (15% Limit Rule).

Resolutions 6 to 12 – Issues of FY25 Share Rights

Introduction

For FY25, the Company proposes, subject to Shareholder approval, to issue the following Share Rights to the Non-Executive Directors of the Company (FY25 Share Rights):

 

Name

Number

Tony Bellas

120,594 Share Rights

Sharan Burrow

120,594 Share Rights

Ron Edmonds

241,188 Share Rights

Admiral Robert Natter

120,594 Share Rights

Jean Oelwang

120,594 Share Rights

Phillips 66 Company

120,594 Share Rights

Nick Liveris

120,594 Share Rights

Mr Suresh Vaidyanathan is not permitted to receive remuneration, including any equity incentives (such as the Share Rights) in his personal capacity under the terms of his employment with Phillips 66 and terms of engagement with the Company. Accordingly, subject to shareholder approval, the Company proposes to issue the Share Rights that he would have received to Phillips 66 instead.

The issue of the FY25 Share Rights are to be put to Shareholders for approval under Resolutions 6 to 12.

ACN 157 690 830

 

 

Value of FY25 Share Rights

 

The FY25 Share Rights to be issued to each Non-Executive Director. Each have a fixed value of USD

$55,000 (based on the USD/AUD spot rate as at 31 December 2024). The number of FY25 Share Rights to be issued has been calculated by dividing the AUD value of the Share Rights by the closing share price of the Company's Shares on ASX on 31 December 2024 ($0.735 per Share), being the last trading day of the financial year.

 

The FY25 Share Rights will automatically vest on 31 December 2025 (Vesting Date), provided that the relevant Non-Executive Director holds office as a Director at the Vesting Date. Upon vesting, all Share Rights entitle the holder of the Share Rights, by written notice to the Company, to subscribe for Shares on the basis of one Share for each Share Right, for nil cash consideration. If a Non-Executive Director ceases to hold office as a Director prior to the Vesting Date, that person's Share Rights will automatically lapse, and they will be entitled to a pro-rata amount of Shares representing the proportion of the relevant financial year that such person was appointed as a Non-Executive Director. For example, if a Non- Executive Director who is issued FY25 Share Rights ceases to hold office on 30 June, then that Non- Executive Director's Share Rights will lapse and that Non-Executive Director will be entitled to 60,297 Shares for nil consideration (rather than the 120,594 Shares they would have been entitled to had they remained as a Director as at the Vesting Date).

 

There are otherwise no performance or vesting conditions attached to the Share Rights.

 

Share Rights – Other terms

There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Share Rights and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Share Rights.

If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares to Shareholders, the number of Shares which must be issued on the exercise of a Share Right will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder would have received if the holder had exercised the Share Right before the record date for the bonus issue. If the Company makes a rights issue of Shares pro rata to existing Shareholders, there will be no adjustments to these terms and conditions.

If there is any reconstruction of the issued share capital of the Company, the rights of the holders may be varied to comply with the Listing Rules which apply to the reconstruction at the time of the reconstruction.

The Share Rights are not transferable, assignable or able to be otherwise disposed of or encumbered.

Regulatory Requirements

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party of the company unless either the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the exceptions to the provisions; or prior shareholder approval is obtained to the giving of the financial benefit.

 

Related party is widely defined under the Corporations Act, and includes directors of a company and the children of a director. Financial benefit is defined broadly and includes benefits from the public company’s subsidiaries. It is necessary to look at the economic and commercial substance and the effect of the transaction in determining the financial benefit. The Corporations Act requires that any consideration that is given is disregarded, even if the consideration is adequate. The proposed grant of Share Rights constitutes the giving a financial benefit to each of the Non-Executive Directors as they are related parties of the Company.

 

page 16


Novonix Limited

ACN 157 690 830

 

 

The Directors consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the grant of the Share Rights because the grant of the Share Rights forms part of their remuneration package and is considered reasonable remuneration in the circumstances.

 

Shareholder Approval

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to a related party unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders. The proposed issue of the Share Rights to the above-mentioned parties falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 (except for Phillips 66, which falls within Listing Rule 10.11.3) and none of the exceptions under Listing Rule 10.12 applies, therefore requiring Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11.

 

Resolutions 6 to 12 seek Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of Share Rights to the above-mentioned related parties.

 

If Shareholder approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11, Shareholder approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1, and the issue of the Share Rights will not count towards the 15% Limit Rule.

 

If Resolutions 6 to 12 are passed, the Company will be able to validly issue the Share Rights to the above mentioned parties and without those securities being counted towards the 15% Limit Rule.

 

If any of Resolutions 6 to 12 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue the subject of that respective resolution, and will seek alternative arrangements to compensate/incentivise those related parties. For the avoidance of doubt, Resolutions 6 to 12 are not mutually dependent on each other.
