FINANCIAL STATEMENT AND REPORTS
In accordance with the Constitution and the Corporations Act, the business of the Annual General Meeting will
include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended
31 December 2023 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the Remuneration
Report and the auditor’s report.
The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s financial report to Shareholders unless specifically
requested to do so. The Company’s financial report is available on its website at http://adxenergy.com.au/.
2.
RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
2.1
General
The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution to shareholders
that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory
only and does not bind the Directors of the Company.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the meeting.
The remuneration report sets out the company’s remuneration arrangements for the directors and senior
management of the company. The remuneration report is part of the directors’ report contained in the
December financial report of the company. The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for
its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general
meeting.
The remuneration report is set out in the Company’s Annual Report which:
2.2
•
outlines the Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration of Directors, the
company secretary and other key management personnel of the Company;
•
discusses the relationship between the Board’s remuneration policy and the Company’s performance;
•
details and explains any performance condition applicable to the remuneration of a Director, secretary
or other key management personnel;
•
details the remuneration (including options, if any) of each Director and other key management
personnel of the Company for the period; and
•
summarises the terms of any contract under which any Director, the company secretary or other key
management personnel is engaged, including the period of notice required to terminate the contract
and any termination payments provided for under the contract.
Voting consequences
A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of
shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company (Spill Resolution) if, at consecutive
annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against
adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was
not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general
meetings.
8
If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder
meeting (Spill Meeting) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s
annual financial report for the previous financial year) was approved, other than the managing director of the
company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for reelection at the Spill Meeting.
Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is
approved will be the directors of the company.
2.3
Previous voting results
At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered
at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this
Annual General Meeting.
3.
RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF MR PAUL FINK AS A DIRECTOR
3.1
General
Pursuant to Clause 14.2 of the Company's Constitution, Mr Paul Fink, being a Director, retires by way of rotation

development projects and assignments in Austria, Libya, Bulgaria, UK, Australia and Pakistan as Exploration and
Reservoir Manager for OMV. In 2005, Mr Fink started his own petroleum consultancy working on projects in
Romania and as Vice President for Focus Energy, leading their highly successful exploration and development
campaign in Western India. Mr Fink was a key team member for the resulting highly successful IPO on the
London Stock Exchange (Indus Gas) which led to a market cap of over GBP 1.5 MM Pounds, partly due to 3rd
party reserves audits managed by Mr Fink.
3.3
Independence
If re-elected, the Board considers Mr Fink will not be an independent director due to his position as CEO.
3.4
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

its strategic vision.

Board Resolution
The Board has reviewed Mr Fink’s performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that Mr Fink’s
skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role. Accordingly, the Board

financing including debt, equity, off-take finance, vendor finance and reverse take-overs with TSX-V and LSE
listed companies.
4.3
Independence
If re-elected, the Board considers Mr Etienvre will not be an independent director due to the quantum of his
consulting services from his entity, NGX Commodities Ltd for commercial and corporate finance services.
4.4

If Resolution 3 is passed, Mr Etienvre will be re-elected to the Board as a non-independent Director.
In the event that Resolution 3 is not passed, Mr Etienvre will not be re-elected to the Board as a nonindependent Director. The Company may seek nominations or otherwise identify suitably qualified candidates
to join the Company. As an additional consequence, this may detract from the Board and Company’s ability to
execute on its strategic vision.
4.5

The Board has reviewed Mr Etienvre’s performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that Mr
Etienvre’s skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role. Accordingly, the

3.
5.
RESOLUTION 4 – ELECTION OF MR JOHN BEGG AS A DIRECTOR
5.1
General
Clause 14.4 of the Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director either to
fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors
does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.
Pursuant to the Constitution and Listing Rule 14.4, any Director so appointed holds office only until the next
annual general meeting and is then eligible for election by Shareholders but shall not be taken into account in
determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation (if any) at that meeting.
Mr John Begg, having been appointed by other Directors on 4 March 2024 in accordance with the Constitution,
will retire in accordance with the Constitution and Listing Rule 14.4 and being eligible, seeks election from
Shareholders.
10
5.2
Qualifications
Mr Begg is a highly experienced energy professional who has been instrumental in the discovery and
commercialisation of numerous oil and gas fields in Australia, North Africa, SE Asia and California. During his
career he has founded, promoted and held executive roles in a number of companies listed in Australia and the
UK. John brings valuable strategic, technical and commercial support and guidance to the Board and
management team. Mr Begg has been awarded the RIU Good Oil Conference John Doran Lifetime Achievement
Award (2018) for his outstanding long-term record of achievement in the Australian oil and gas industry.
5.3
Independence
Mr Begg has no interests, position or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence,
in a material respect his capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the Board and
to act in the best interest of the Company as a whole rather than in the interests of an individual security holder
or other party. Mr Begg does provide ad-hoc consulting services from his entity, Rock Doc Pty Ltd, for
consultancy services, however the quantum is not considered material.
The Board considers Mr Begg is an independent director.
5.4
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

In the event that Resolution 4 is not passed, Mr Begg will not be elected to the Board as an independent
Director. The Company may seek nominations or otherwise identify suitably qualified candidates to join the
Company. As an additional consequence, this may detract from the Board and Company’s ability to execute on
its strategic vision.
5.5
Board Recommendation
The Board has reviewed Mr Begg’s performance since his appointment to the Board and considers that Mr
Begg’s skills and experience will continue to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its role. Accordingly, the
