Allkem Scheme Meeting - Chairman's address and presentation - Seite 4

To enable shareholders to consider the business of today’s meeting, a Notice of Scheme Meeting was made available to all shareholders by its inclusion in Annexure G of the Scheme Booklet dated 9 November 2023. The Scheme Booklet was dispatched to each Allkem Shareholder in accordance with their communication preferences and is also available on Allkem’s website and the ASX Announcements Platform. I will take the Notice of Scheme Meeting as read.

Before proceeding further, I advise that 2,081 proxies totalling 337,366,713 votes have been received for this meeting. As disclosed in the Scheme Booklet, where an available proxy vote has been given to the Chairman of the Meeting without instructions, I will vote in favour of the resolution.

I now turn to the formal business to be considered today.

We only have one resolution to be considered today. Voting on that resolution will be conducted by way of a poll.

For those attending in person, the poll will be conducted once the resolution has been put to the meeting, and all questions relating to the resolution have been dealt with.

For those attending virtually, the poll will be conducted via the poll facility on the Computershare online meeting platform.

Shortly, I will outline the procedure for the poll.

I will then take questions on the proposed resolution from Shareholders or their authorised representatives or attorneys. Questions should relate to the resolution which is being voted upon.

When voting is complete, we will close the meeting. The results of the poll will be published via a release made to the ASX and will also be made available on the Company’s website.

I appoint Mr Lewis Brimelow from Computershare as Returning Officer.

As I indicated earlier, voting at today’s meeting will be conducted by way of a poll. I will now explain the procedure for the poll to be conducted on the resolution.

All shareholders, representatives and attorneys of shareholders, and proxyholders are entitled to ask questions and vote on the poll.
