Voting and Proxies

1. Determination of Shareholding and Voting Entitlement

In accordance with regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth), the Directors have determined that the Shares will be taken, for the purpose of determining those persons entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting, to be held by the persons who are registered as holding them as at 7.00 pm on Wednesday, 26[th] November, 2014.

Accordingly, transactions registered after that time will be disregarded when determining entitlements to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting.

2. Votes of Members

On a show of hands, each Shareholder present in person or by proxy or attorney or, in the case of a body corporate, by a representative at the Annual General Meeting will have one vote. On a poll, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy or attorney or, in the case of a body corporate, by a representative will have one vote for each Share held by him or her.

3. Important Voting Information

The Company encourages all Shareholders who submit proxies to direct their proxy how to vote on the Resolutions.

The Chairman of the Annual General Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of each Resolution. However, the Chairman of the Meeting is not permitted to vote an undirected proxy on Resolution 1 (Remuneration Report) unless the proxy expressly authorises the Chairman to exercise the proxy on such Resolution even if it is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Company’s Key Management Personnel.

In respect of Resolution 1, if your proxy is a person who is not entitled to vote in his or her own right, the person may still vote as your proxy provided you have directed your proxy on the Proxy Form the way your proxy is to vote or your proxy is the Chairman of the Meeting and you have expressly authorised him to vote as outlined above.

3. Proxies

A Shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on behalf of the Shareholder. Where the Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes, the Shareholder may appoint 2 proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise.

If the Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half of the votes (disregarding fractions).

A proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company.

A Proxy Form accompanies this Notice of Meeting. The Proxy Form contains important information and other instructions which you should read carefully.

Any instrument of proxy deposited or received by the Company in which the name of the appointee is not filled in will be deemed to be given in favour of the Chairman of the meeting to which it relates.

Proxies given by corporate Shareholders must be executed in accordance with their constitutions or signed by a duly authorised officer or attorney.

A proxy may decide whether to vote on any motion, except where the proxy is required by law or the constitution of the Company to vote, or abstain from voting, in their capacity as proxy. If a proxy is directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may vote on that item only in accordance with the direction. If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may vote as he or she thinks fit (subject to the exceptions set out above under “ Important Voting Information ” above).

The appointment may be a standing one. Unless otherwise specified in the appointment, the representative may exercise, on that body corporate’s behalf, all of the powers that the body could exercise at a meeting or in voting on a resolution.

This Explanatory Memorandum is incorporated in, and forms part of, the accompanying Notice of Meeting. The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide Shareholders with information relevant to the Resolutions to be put to Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

Terms and expressions used in this Explanatory Memorandum, the Notice of Meeting and the Proxy Form have the meaning given to them in the “ Definitions ” section located at the end of this Explanatory Memorandum.

Details of the items of business to be considered at the Annual General Meeting are set out below.

Item 1. Financial Statements and Reports

The Company’s 2014 Annual Report is enclosed with the Notice of Meeting (for those Shareholders who have elected to receive a printed copy) and is also available online at www.phoslock.com.au.

Section 317 of the Corporations Act requires the Annual Financial Report of the Company (which includes the Financial Statements and Directors’ Declaration), the Directors’ Report (which includes the Remuneration Report) and the Auditor’s Report in respect of the financial year ended on 30 June 2014 to be laid before the Annual General Meeting.

Except for the non-binding advisory resolution in respect of the Remuneration Report (refer to Resolution 1 below), there is no requirement in either the Corporations Act or the Company’s constitution for Shareholders to approve the Annual Financial Report, the Directors’ Report or the Auditor’s Report.

In accordance with the Corporations Act, Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the Annual General Meeting to ask questions and make comments on these reports and on the management or performance of the Company.

The Auditor is required to attend the Meeting and will be available to take Shareholders’ questions relevant to the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of their Auditor’s Report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of its 2014 Annual Report and the Auditor’s independence in relation to the conduct of the audit.

Item 2. Adoption of Remuneration Report (Resolution 1)

The Corporations Act requires listed companies to put a Remuneration Report relating to director and executive remuneration for each financial year to a resolution of members at their annual general meeting. The Remuneration Report for the Company is included in the Company’s 2014 Annual Report.

Under section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, the vote on the Remuneration Report is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing the remuneration practices and policies of the Company.

If at 2 consecutive annual general meetings of the Company, 25% or more of votes cast on a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted are against the adoption of the Remuneration Report the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution at the second annual general meeting proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the election of Directors of the Company (known as a “ spill resolution ”).

If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the spill resolution, the Company must convene an extraordinary general meeting (known as a “ spill meeting ”) within 90 days of the spill resolution. All of the Directors who were in office when the Remuneration Report (being, the report laid before the second annual general meeting) was approved by the Board (other than the Managing Director) 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 re-election as Directors is approved will remain directors of the Company.

Page 9

The Company’s 2013 Remuneration Report was adopted at the 2013 Annual General Meeting by more than 75% of the eligible votes cast.

In compliance with section 300A of the Corporations Act, the Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for the Directors and specified executive officers of the Company. The Board has a policy of ensuring that remuneration paid to Directors and management is market competitive while at the same time aligned to the achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for Shareholders.

During this item of business, there will be opportunity for Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to comment on and ask questions about the Remuneration Report. The Remuneration Report is available on pages 15 to 20 of the Company’s 2014 Annual Report.

Mr Laurence Freedman AM, Chairman and a non-executive Director of the Company, retires by rotation and is eligible for re-election at the Annual General Meeting. In accordance with clause 22 of the Company’s constitution, Mr Freedman has submitted himself for re-election at the Annual General Meeting as a non-executive Director.

Details of Mr Freedman’s experience and qualifications are set out on page 14 of the Company’s 2014 Annual Report.

Recommendation

The Directors (other than Mr Freedman) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

Item 4. Issue of Convertible Notes to Link Traders (Aust.) Pty Ltd (Resolution 3)

Background

Link Traders is a company related to the Chairman, Mr Laurence Freedman AM. On 8 April, 2014 Link Traders, the Company, PPL, and PTP entered into the Link Loan Facility Deed, pursuant to which Link Traders agreed to provide an $823,507 working capital loan facility to PPL on commercial terms, repayable on or before 31 December 2014 ( Link Facility ). The Company and PTP agreed to guarantee the obligations of PPL under the Link Loan Facility Deed. PPL has drawn down the full amount of the Link Facility. Accordingly, PPL owes Link Traders $823,507 ( Link Loan ).

PPL and PTP are both wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

In order to better fund the working capital requirements of the Company and its subsidiaries, the Directors (other than Mr Freedman) have determined that part of the Link Loan should be repaid by the Company issuing 500 Convertible Notes to Link Traders, for a total issue price of $500,000 ( New Link Convertible Notes ).

Link Traders currently holds 1,300 Convertible Notes issued to it by the Company on 15 February 2013, following shareholder approval at a General Meeting held on 15 February 2013 ( Existing Link Convertible Notes ). If Shareholders approve Resolution 3, the Company will issue a further 500 Convertible Notes to Link Traders ( New Link Convertible Notes ). Accordingly, Link Traders will hold a total of 1800 Convertible Notes, if Shareholders approve Resolution 3.

Unless converted, the New Link Convertible Notes will be repayable by the Company on 30 June, 2016 (or such later date as is agreed). Shares issued on conversion of a New Link Convertible Note will have an issue price of 4 cents each.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval to issue the New Link Convertible Notes to Link Traders for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11. Link Traders is a company related to the Chairman, and currently holds a 17.24% shareholding in the Company. If Link Traders converts all of its 1,800 Convertible Notes, its percentage holding in the Company will increase to approximately 29.3% (assuming no other Shares are

APAC-#24307337-v3 Page 10

issued by the Company in the meantime and subject to the requirements of the Corporations Act). There is no assurance that any of the Convertible Notes issued to Link Traders will be converted.

Subscription Agreement for the issue of Convertible Notes

To give effect to the issue of the New Link Convertible Notes and the repayment of $500,000 of the Link Loan, the Company intends to enter into a subscription agreement with Link Traders pursuant to which the Company will agree to issue 500 Convertible Notes at an issue price of $1,000 per Convertible Note.

The key terms of the Link Subscription Agreement are as follows:

  • Link Traders agrees to subscribe for, and the Company agrees to issue to Link Traders, 500 Convertible Notes each with a face value of $1,000 per Convertible Note;

  • completion of the issue of Convertible Notes to Link Traders will occur on the later of the date the Link Subscription Agreement is signed and the 5[th] Business Day after satisfaction or waiver of the Condition Precedent;

  • the Convertible Notes to be issued will be subject to certain terms and conditions which are summarised below;

  • the amount raised from the issue of the Convertible Notes will be applied in part repayment of a the Link Loan, being an amount of $500,000;

  • each of PPL and PTP agree to guarantee the payment obligations of the Company under the Convertible Notes; and

  • each of the Company, Link Traders, PPL and PTP has provided representations and warranties that are customary for agreements of this nature.

Terms of the New Link Convertible Notes

The key terms of the New Link Convertible Notes are as follows:

  • the issue price for each Convertible Note is $1,000;

  • interest of 15% per annum is payable monthly in arrears on each Convertible Note from the date of issue until the Convertible Note is converted into Shares in the Company or repaid by the Company. The interest rate is less than the interest rate under the Link Loan Facility Deed, which is currently 20% per annum;

  • Link Traders may convert the Convertible Note into Shares in the Company at any time from the date of issue until the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date;

  • the number of Shares to be issued on conversion of 1 Convertible Note is 25,000 (being an issue price per Share of 4 cents);

  • the Company must not convert, and Link Traders must not seek to convert, any or all of the Convertible Notes if to do so would involve a breach of the Corporations Act or any other law;

  • any New Link Convertible Notes not converted to Shares on the Maturity Date must be repaid by the Company at its face value of $1,000, plus all accrued interest on the Convertible Note; and

  • the New Link Convertible Notes are freely transferrable.

A copy of the terms and conditions of the New Link Convertible Notes is available to Shareholders upon request to the Company Secretary.

APAC-#24307337-v3 Page 11

Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that, unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not, without the approval of Shareholders, issue or agree to issue equity securities to a Related Party, or a person whose relationship with the listed company, or a Related Party of a listed company, is in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.

Link Traders is an entity which is ultimately controlled by the Chairman, and is therefore a Related Party of the Company for the purpose Listing Rule 10.11.

Listing Rule 7.1

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 14), if approval for the issue of securities is given under Listing Rule 10.11, approval for the issue is not required under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the issue of the New Link Convertible Notes will not be included for the purposes of calculating the 15% limit of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

Listing Rule 10.13 requirements for the issue of Convertible Notes to Link Traders

Listing Rule 10.13 sets out a number of matters which must be included in a notice of meeting requesting shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11. In accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided to Shareholders to assist them in determining whether to approve Resolution 3:

  • The name of the person to whom the securities will be issued – Link Traders.

  • The maximum number of securities to be issued to Link Traders - under the Link Subscription Agreement, the Company intends to issue 500 Convertible Notes to Link Traders. Each Convertible Note is convertible any time from the date of issue until the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date into 25,000 Shares.

  • The date by which the Company will issue the securities (which must not be more than 1 month after the date of the meeting) - if Resolution 3 is passed, the issue of the New Link Convertible Notes will occur on the later of the date the Link Subscription Agreement is signed, and the 5[th] Business Day after Resolution 3 is passed (and in any event, no later than the date which is 1 month after the date of this Annual General Meeting).

  • If the person is not a Director, a statement of the relationship between the person and the Director that requires the approval to be obtained - Link Traders is a company which is ultimately controlled by the Chairman and is therefore a Related Party of the Company.

  • The issue price of the securities and a statement of the terms of the issue - the New Link Convertible Notes will be issued to Link Traders at a price of $1,000 per Convertible Note. Each Convertible Note is convertible into 25,000 Shares (being an issue price per Share of 4 cents). The maximum number of Shares which may be issued if all 500 New Link Convertible Notes are converted is 12,500,000 Shares. Upon conversion, the Shares issued to Link Traders will rank pari passu in all respects from the date of issue with the existing Shares of the Company. The Company will apply for official quotation on ASX of all Shares issued pursuant to a conversion of a Convertible Note.

  • A voting exclusion statement - a voting exclusion statement in respect of Resolution 3 is set out in the Notice of Meeting and also below.

  • The intended use of the funds raised - it is intended that the funds raised by the issue of the New Link Convertible Notes will be used by way of set-off to repay $500,000 of the Link Loan. The balance of the Link Loan after the issue of the New Link Convertible Notes will be $323,507 ( Link Loan Balance ). The Link Loan Balance will be repayable by PPL on 31 December 2014.

APAC-#24307337-v3 Page 12

Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors (other than the Chairman, who has declined to make a recommendation due to his position as director and ultimate controller of Link Traders) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3. The Directors consider that the issue to Link Traders of 500 Convertible Notes at $1,000 per Convertible Note is reasonable, as the terms and interest payable are commercial. In particular, the interest rate payable in respect of the New Link Convertible Notes is substantially lower than that payable under the Link Loan Facility Deed. This will result in savings to PPL.

Voting Exclusion Statement

In accordance with Listing Rules 10.13 and 14.11, the Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 3 by Link Traders and any of its associates. However, the Company need not disregard a vote if it is cast by a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the Proxy Form, or it is cast by the person chairing the Annual General Meeting as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides.

Item 5. Issue of Convertible Notes to Sail Ahead (Resolution 4)

Background

Sail Ahead is a company related to the Managing Director of the Company, Mr Robert Schuitema. Sail Ahead has provided a $160,000 working capital loan to PPL on commercial terms, repayable at 7 days’ notice. The interest rate for the Sail Ahead loan is 20% per annum ( Sail Ahead Loan ). To date, no interest has been paid by PPL in respect of the Sail Ahead Loan.

In order to better fund the working capital requirements of the Company and its subsidiaries, the Directors (other than Mr Schuitema) have determined that the Sail Ahead Loan be repaid by the Company issuing 160 Convertible Notes to Sail Ahead for a total issue price of $160,000 ( Sail Ahead Convertible Notes ). Sail Ahead does not currently hold any Convertible Notes.
