Damien Kelly Company Secretary Date: 13 March 2024 Page | 3 EMU NL EXPLANATORY STATEMENT This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the Shareholders of the Company in connection with the business to be conducted at the general meeting of the Company to be held at the Celtic Club 48 Ord Street, West Perth WA 6005, on Thursday 11 April 2024 commencing at 5:00pm AWST and any adjournment thereof. The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with all information known to the Company that is material to a decision on how to vote on the Resolution in the accompanying Notice. This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with the Notice. Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the Glossary. Voting on the Resolution will be conducted by poll. RESOLUTION 1 – APPROVAL TO CONSOLIDATE SHARE CAPITAL 8.1 The Proposal This agenda item proposes the consolidation of the Company’s Share capital through the conversion of every 30 Shares into one Share. Under section 254H of the Corporations Act, a company may consolidate its shares if the consolidation is approved by an ordinary resolution of shareholders at a general meeting. If the consolidation is approved, the consolidation will take effect on 22 April 2024. The following is an indicative timetable (subject to change) of the key events: Key Event General Meeting Effective Date Last day for trading in pre-consolidated securities Trading in consolidated securities on a deferred settlement basis commences 1 Record date 2 First day to update register and send new holding statements Last day to update register and send new holding statements. Deferred settlement trading ends 3 Normal trading starts 4 First settlement date for trades made on post-consolidation basis 4 Indicative Date 11 April 2024 22 April 2024 23 April 2024 24 April 2024 26 April 2024 29 April 2024 3 May 2024 6 May 2024 7 May 2024 Notes: 1. If agreed by the ASX. 2. Last day to register transfers on a pre-consolidation basis. 3. Provided the register update takes place before noon (Sydney time), deferred settlement trading ends at close of trading on this day. 4. Providing the update of the register takes place before noon (Sydney time). Where the consolidation of a Shareholder’s holding results in an entitlement to a fraction of a share, the fraction will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of Shares. Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution, requiring it to be passed by a simple majority of votes cast by the Shareholders entitled to vote on it. 8.2 Reasons for the consolidation The Company has a very large number of Shares on issue. The number of Shares on issue is approximately 2.0 billion, the effect of which is that price per share as traded on the ASX (the result of market capitalisation divided by the number of shares on issue) is so low that it is adversely impacting the Company’s equity funding options to the detriment of the Company and its shareholders. The effect of the Listing Rules is that the Company’s capacity to and manner in which it can undertake a meaningful equity raising is seriously and detrimentally hampered by the current price at which the Company’s shares are trading on the ASX; the proposed consolidation will address this. Page | 4 EMU NL EXPLANATORY STATEMENT The Company is likely to propose the issue of further securities in the near future, so the capital is expected to be expanded virtually immediately following the consolidation. Your board believes that, as a matter of good corporate practice and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, the proposed consolidation should be put to shareholders for their imprimatur. 8.3 Effect of the consolidation If Shareholders approve the proposed Share consolidation, the number of Shares currently on issue will be reduced from approximately 2.0 billion to approximately 67.5 million. As the consolidation applies equally to all of the Company’s Shareholders, individual Shareholdings (in terms of absolute numbers) will be reduced in the same ratio as the total number of the Company’s Shares (subject only to the rounding up of fractions). It follows that the consolidation will have no effect on the percentage interest of each individual Shareholder in the Company. Therefore, if a Shareholder currently has 2,024,771 Shares, representing approximately 0.1% of the Company’s issued capital, then if the Share consolidation is approved and implemented, the Shareholder will have 67,492 Shares following the consolidation, still representing the same 0.1% of the Company’s issued capital. Similarly, the enterprise value of the Company should (theoretically) not change as a result of the Share consolidation alone. As a matter of plain math, the price per Share, should increase in inverse ratio to the consolidation (to reflect the reduced number of Shares on issue). In practice, however, the immediate post consolidation price per Share may be equal to, more or less than the mathematical result. The risk of the market capitalisation of the Company diminishing in immediate response to the consolidation is real. Equally, it is important to recognise that (the Directors believe) the market is telling us that the Company is a shell as reflected by its market capitalisation. Accordingly, the Directors believe it is reasonable to speculate that fundamentals should not see a serious (or indeed any) decline in market value simply because of the consolidation. Whilst some shareholders are opposed to the consolidation, it may well be that a consolidation will be viewed positively as reflecting good corporate management as it will expand the scope as to the manner in which capital raisings can be effected under the ASX Listing Rules. Whilst the Board has, for some time, respected (and still respects) the wishes of those shareholders opposed to its capital being consolidated it is no longer tenable for the Board to refrain from proposing a consolidation without adversely impacting the interests of the Company (and therefore current shareholders as a whole). For example, the scope for pricing a new Share issue would likely be a barrier to a raising on preferential terms in the best interests of the Company. Bearing in mind the Company’s FP Shares last traded on-market at 0.1 cents and the minimum bid permitted under the ASX Operating Rules is 0.1 cents, the Company and potential investors would face the following constraints: (a) (Listing Rules constraint): the issue price under any pro rata issue would be prohibited (because of ASX Listing Rule 7.11.2) from being less than 0.1 cents per Share; and (b) (Liquidity constraints for exiting investors): Suppose a Shareholder wishes to exit their investment. If potential bidders on market are unwilling to make bids at or above 0.1 cents, it creates liquidity constraints. In other words, a lack of demand at or above this price point would make it challenging for investors to sell their shares on market. This liquidity concern could hinder the Company’s ability to raise capital on preferential terms. 8.4 Tax implications for Australian resident shareholders The Share consolidation will be undertaken in accordance with section 254H of the Corporations Act. Subject only to rounding, there will be no change to the proportionate interests held by each Shareholder in the Company as a result of the consolidation. The Share consolidation will occur through the conversion of every 30 Shares in the Company into one Share in the Company. No capital gains tax event will occur as a result of the Company’s Share consolidation and therefore there should be no taxation implications arising for the Company’s Australian resident Shareholders. Page | 5 EMU NL EXPLANATORY STATEMENT The summary in this section is general in nature. Accordingly, Shareholders are encouraged to seek and rely only on their own professional advice in relation to their tax position. Neither the Company nor any of its officers, employees or advisors assumes any liability or responsibility for advising Shareholders about the tax consequences for them from the proposed Share consolidation. 8.5 Effect of the consolidation on the Company’s Convertible Securities Partly Paid Shares As at the date of this Explanatory Statement, the Company has on issue partly-paid shares which are subject to payment of calls before being convertible into fully paid Shares. Listing Rule 7.21 states that in a consolidation of capital, the number of convertible securities is reorganised so that the holder of the convertible security will not receive a benefit that holders of ordinary securities do not receive. Therefore, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.21, if Shareholders approve the proposed consolidation, the convertible securities on issue are expected to be adjusted as follows: Partly Paid Share Class Current Adjusted Number Calls Payable Approximate Number Calls Payable EMUCA 40,485,069 $0.03 1,349,502 $0.90 EMUAR 35,000,000 $0.04 1,166,667 $1.20 The figures in the “Approximate number” column in the table above are subject to rounding, because each class of Partly-paid share were issued for the benefit of more than one Partly-paid shareholder, and there may be minor rounding adjustments when each individual parcel is adjusted in accordance with the principles set out above. Options Listing Rule 7.22.1 states that in a consolidation of capital, the number of options must be consolidated in the same ratio as the ordinary capital and the exercise price must be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio. Where the consolidation of an Option holder’s holding results in an entitlement to a fraction of an Option, the fraction will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of Options. Therefore, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.22.1, if Shareholders approve the proposed consolidation, the Options on issue (or agreed to be issued) are expected to be adjusted as follows: Option Class Current Adjusted Number Exercise price Approximate Number Exercise Price Expiry 7.10.2024 172,453,621 $0.01 5,748,454 $0.30 Expiry 31.12.2026 317,375,004 $0.003 10,579,167 $0.09 The figures in the “Approximate number” column in the table above are subject to rounding, because each class of Option were issued for the benefit of more than one Option holder, and there may be minor rounding adjustments when each individual parcel is adjusted in accordance with the principles set out above. Page | 6 EMU NL EXPLANATORY STATEMENT 8.6 Directors’ recommendation Whilst recognising the inherent risk that the market capitalisation of the Company may drop in response to a consolidation and that there is an aversion to consolidations in the minds of many well-informed EMU shareholders, on balance, all the Directors consider that Resolution 1 is in the best interests of the Company and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1. Each Director has indicated that he intends to vote the Shares he owns or controls in favour of Resolution 1. The Chair intends to vote all available proxies in favour of the Resolution. 9 PRO FORMA CAPITAL STRUCTURE FOLLOWING MEETING The Company’s capital structure following this Meeting will be as follows: Number Pre-Consolidation Number Post-Consolidation Fully Paid Shares 2,024,771,286 67,492,376 Partly Paid Shares subject to future calls totalling a revised $0.90 post consolidation 40,485,069 1,349,502 Partly Paid Shares subject to future calls totalling a revised $1.20 post consolidation 35,000,000 1,166,667 Total PP Shares 75,485,069 2,516,169 Options to FP Shares 489,828,625 16,327,621 Performance Rights (PR) 48,571,429 1,619,048 Shares OTHER BUSINESS The Company is not aware of any other business to come before the Meeting other than as set forth in the accompanying Notice.
