1.2 Important Notes
This Prospectus is dated 4 September 2026 and was lodged with the ASIC on that date. The
ASIC, the ASX and their respective officers take no responsibility for the contents of this
Prospectus or the merits of the investment to which this Prospectus relates.
No Options may be issued on the basis of this Prospectus later than 13 months after the
date of this Prospectus.
Applications for Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus can only be submitted on an
original Application Form which accompanies this Prospectus.
This Prospectus is a transaction specific prospectus for an offer of continuously quoted
securities (as defined in the Corporations Act) and has been prepared in accordance with
section 713 of the Corporations Act. It does not contain the same level of disclosure as an
initial public offering prospectus. In making representations in this Prospectus regard has
been had to the fact that the Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the
Corporations Act and certain matters may reasonably be expected to be known to
investors and professional advisers whom potential investors may consult.
1.3 Risk factors
Potential investors should be aware that subscribing for Options in the Company involves
a number of risks. The key risk factors of which investors should be aware are set out in
Section 6 of this Prospectus. These risks together with other general risks applicable to all
investments in listed securities not specifically referred to, may affect the value of the
Options in the future. Accordingly, an investment in the Company should be considered
highly speculative. Investors should consider consulting their professional advisers before
deciding whether to apply for Options pursuant to this Prospectus.
1.4 Taxation implications
The Directors do not consider it appropriate to give Shareholder’s advice regarding the
taxation consequences of applying for Options under this Prospectus. The Company, its
advisers and its officers do not accept any responsibility or liability for any such taxation
consequences to Shareholders. As a result, Shareholders should consult their professional
tax adviser in connection with applying for Options under this Prospectus.
1.5 Applicants outside Australia
The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia may be restricted by law
and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus should seek advice on and
observe any of these restrictions. Any failure to comply with such restrictions may constitute
a violation of applicable securities laws. This Prospectus does not constitute an offer of
Options in any jurisdiction where, or to any person to whom, it would be unlawful to issue
in this Prospectus.
2
1.6 Forward-looking statements
This Prospectus contains forward-looking statements which are identified by words such as
‘may’, ‘could’, ‘believes’, ‘estimates’, ‘targets’, ‘expects’, or ‘intends’ and other similar
words that involve risks and uncertainties.
These statements are based on an assessment of present economic and operating
conditions, and on a number of assumptions regarding future events and actions that, as
at the date of this Prospectus, are expected to take place.
Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve
known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many
of which are beyond the control of the Company, the Directors and our management.
The Company cannot and does not give any assurance that the results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this
prospectus will actually occur and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements.
The Company has no intention to update or revise forward-looking statements, or to
publish prospective financial information in the future, regardless of whether new
information, future events or any other factors affect the information contained in this
prospectus, except where required by law.
These forward-looking statements are subject to various risk factors that could cause our
actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or anticipated in these
statements. These risk factors are set out in Section 6.

www.adxenergy.com.au. If you are accessing the electronic version of this Prospectus for
the purpose of making an investment in the Company, you must be an Australian resident

and unaltered version of this Prospectus. Any person may obtain a hard copy of this
Prospectus free of charge by contacting the Company.
The Company reserves the right not to accept an Application Form from a person if it has
reason to believe that when that person was given access to the electronic Application
Form, it was not provided together with the electronic Prospectus and any relevant
supplementary or replacement prospectus or any of those documents were incomplete
or altered.

4. PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE OFFERS
4.1 Purpose of the Offers
The purpose of the Offers is to remove any trading restrictions attaching to the Options
issued under the Offers and any Shares issued on exercise of these Options, given that the
Options offered under the Offers are being issued with disclosure under this Prospectus.
Subject to ASX granting Official Quotation of the Options, this will allow holders to trade
the Options on the ASX and ensure that any Shares issued on exercise of the Options can
be on-sold within 12 months of their issue, without a disclosure document for the on-sale
offer.
No funds will be raised directly under the Offers, however, if all of the Options are exercised,
the Company will receive $7,478,250 in aggregate, by virtue of payment of the exercise
price.
The principal effect of the Offers, assuming all Options offered under the Offers are issued,
will be to increase the total number of Options on issue by 249,275,000 Options on
completion of the Offers.
4.2 Financial effects of the Offers
The Options to be issued pursuant to the Offers will be issued at a nil issue price.
Accordingly, there will be no immediate effect on the Company’s balance sheet.
However, capital will be raised if the Options are exercised, which will affect the
Company’s balance sheet.
The Company is unable to specify with any certainty the extent of any change to the
balance sheet, given that there is no certainty if or when any of the Options will be
exercised.
The expenses of the Offers will be met from the Company’s existing cash reserves.

5. RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES ATTACHING TO SECURITIES
The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to the
Options and Shares being offered pursuant to this Prospectus. This summary is not
exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of
Securityholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal
advice.
Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Constitution, a
copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal

The terms and conditions of the Options to be issued under the Offers are as follows:

be $0.03 (Exercise Price).
(c) Expiry Date
Each Option will expire at 5:00pm (WST) on 31 December 2027 (Expiry Date). An
Option not exercised before the respective Expiry Date will automatically lapse
on the Expiry Date.
(d) Exercise Period
The Options are exercisable at any time on or prior to the Expiry Date (Exercise
Period).
(e) Notice of Exercise
The Options may be exercised during the Exercise Period by notice in writing to
the Company in the manner specified on the Option certificate (Notice of
Exercise) and payment of the Exercise Price for each Option being exercised in
Australian currency by electronic funds transfer or other means of payment
acceptable to the Company.
(f) Exercise Date
A Notice of Exercise is only effective on and from the later of the date of receipt
of the Notice of Exercise and the date of receipt by the Company of the
payment of the Exercise Price for each Option being exercised in cleared funds
(Exercise Date).
(g) Timing of issue of Shares on exercise
Within five (5) Business Days after the Exercise Date, the Company will:
(i) issue the number of Shares required under these terms and conditions
in respect of the number of Options specified in the Notice of Exercise
and for which cleared funds have been received by the Company;
(ii) if required, give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of
the Corporations Act, or, if the Company is unable to issue such a
notice, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the
Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy
section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale
of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors; and
(iii) if admitted to the official list of ASX at the time, apply for official
quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the
Options.
9
If a notice delivered under (g)(ii) for any reason is not effective to ensure that an
offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors, the Company
must, no later than 20 Business Days after becoming aware of such notice being
ineffective, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the
Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of
the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require
disclosure to investors.
(h) Shares issued on exercise
Shares issued on exercise of the Options rank equally with the then issued shares
of the Company.
(i) Reconstruction of capital
If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reconstructed, all rights of an
Option holder are to be changed in a manner consistent with the Corporations
Act and the ASX Listing Rules at the time of the reconstruction.
(j) Participation in new issues
There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and
holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to
Shareholders during the currency of the Options without exercising the Options.
(k) Change in exercise price
An Option does not confer the right to a change in Exercise Price or a change in
the number of underlying securities over which the Option can be exercised.
(l) Transferability
The Options are transferable subject to any restriction or escrow arrangements
imposed by ASX or under applicable Australian securities laws.
5.2 Rights and liabilities attaching to Shares
(a) General meetings
Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or
representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.
Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249D of the
Corporations Act and the Constitution of the Company.
(b) Voting rights
Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or
classes of shares, at general meetings of shareholders or classes of shareholders:
(i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy,
attorney or representative;
(ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a
proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and
(iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney
or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid
Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy,
attorney or representative, have one vote for each Share held, but in
respect of partly paid shares shall have such number of votes as bears
the same proportion to the total of such Shares registered in the
Shareholder’s name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the
total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).
(c) Dividend rights
Subject to the rights of any preference Shareholders and to the rights of the
holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to
dividend, the Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to
10
the Shareholders entitled to the dividend which shall be payable on all Shares
according to the proportion that the amount paid (not credited) is of the total
amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such
Shares.
The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders any interim dividends
as they may determine. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company.
The Directors may set aside out of the profits of the Company any amounts that
they may determine as reserves, to be applied at the discretion of the Directors,
for any purpose for which the profits of the Company may be properly applied.
Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company may, by
resolution of the Directors, implement a dividend reinvestment plan on such terms
and conditions as the Directors think fit and which provides for any dividend
which the Directors may declare from time to time payable on Shares which are
participating Shares in the dividend reinvestment plan, less any amount which
the Company shall either pursuant to the Constitution or any law be entitled or
obliged to retain, be applied by the Company to the payment of the subscription
price of Shares.
(d) Winding-up
If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special
resolution, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the
property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as he
considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the
division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of
Shareholders.
The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, vest the whole or
any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the
contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled
to accept any shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.
(e) Shareholder liability
As the Shares issued will be fully paid shares, they will not be subject to any calls
for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.
(f) Transfer of shares
Generally, shares in the Company are freely transferable, subject to formal
requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or
failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in
breach of the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.
(g) Future increase in capital
The issue of any new Shares is under the control of the Directors of the Company.
Subject to restrictions on the issue or grant of Securities contained in the ASX
Listing Rules, the Constitution and the Corporations Act (and without affecting
any special right previously conferred on the holder of an existing share or class
of shares), the Directors may issue Shares as they shall, in their absolute discretion,
determine.
(h) Variation of rights
Under section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction
of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders vary or abrogate the
rights attaching to shares.
If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights
attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the
shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be
varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three quarters of
the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a
separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.
11
(i) Alteration of constitution
In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Constitution can only be amended
by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present
and voting at the general meeting. In addition, at least 28 days written notice
specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be
given.
