| 3 | Overview |
|---|---|
| 3.1 | General |
| --- | --- |
Mr. Todd Hannigan, a founder of IperionX, has served as the Company’s Executive Chair since May 24, 2021. Mr. Anastasios Arima, a founder of IperionX, has served as Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director since March 1, 2021.
As outlined in the fiscal year 2024 Remuneration Report, the compensation packages for both Mr. Hannigan and Mr. Arima include Total Fixed Remuneration (TFR), a Short-Term Incentive (STI), and a Long-Term Incentive (LTI).
| 3.2 | Remuneration Framework |
|---|---|
| (a) | Overview |
| --- | --- |
IperionX is a U.S.-based titanium metal technology and manufacturing company with a valuable, award-winning patented technology portfolio. Although the Company is primarily listed on the ASX and also on the Nasdaq, nearly all of the Company executives, employees, customers, and key assets are located in the United States.
The Remuneration Framework for Key Management Personnel (KMP) is developed by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and the Board, with input from Pearl Meyer, a U.S.-based independent remuneration consultant, for the fiscal year 2025. The framework is designed to:
| • | Reflect U.S. market principles, recognizing the need to attract and retain high-calibre executive talent in the U.S.; |
|---|---|
| • | Align executive KMP interests with shareholder value creation and the Company’s strategic goals and long-term success; |
| --- | --- |
| • | Foster long term commitment and dedication to value creation; and |
| --- | --- |
| • | Successfully grow the company, deliver on rapid operational and commercial scale-up plans whilst implementing operational resilience and risk management measures. |
| --- | --- |
IperionX’s remuneration structure and executive compensation framework aim to drive performance, mitigate risk, and ensure leadership is aligned with shareholder interests. The framework combines fixed and variable “at-risk” remuneration, including both short- and long-term incentives. By accentuating a lower fixed base remuneration with a higher proportion of at-risk performance-driven long term equity compensation, the Company ensures that executive rewards closely mirror shareholder outcomes.
A significant portion of executive remuneration remains “at risk” to underscore the importance of achieving key milestones and long-term value drivers. The table below provides an overview of the remuneration elements for Fiscal Years 2024 and 2025.
- 9 -
| Remuneration Elements | Purpose | Category | Definition of Pay Category |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Fixed Remuneration (TFR) | Recognizes the requirements and responsibilities of the role | Fixed | Reflects the role’s value in the competitive U.S. market and underpins ability to attract and retain key talent critical to the Company’s success |
| Short Term Incentive (STI) | Drives the achievement of annual operational objectives | At-Risk | Linked to near-term, “line-of-sight” operational, commercial and funding performance goals, reinforcing short-term priorities |
| Long Term Incentive (LTI) | Encourages sustained long-term business growth and shareholder value | At-Risk | Aligned with long-term Company success, tying reward outcomes to the achievement of multi-year strategic milestones that align with shareholder outcomes |
| (b) | Securityholder and Proxy Feedback | ||
| --- | --- |
Over the past 12 months, the Chairman of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, Mr. Vaughn Taylor, has engaged with a significant proportion of our securityholders. Throughout the year, the Company also engaged shareholders on a wide range of topics, including executive compensation, corporate governance, and environmental and social issues.
This ongoing engagement gives us valuable insight into shareholders’ perspectives and guides enhancements to our governance and disclosures. By actively addressing shareholder questions and concerns, we ensure that the matters most important to our investors remain at the forefront of our decision-making and strategic priorities.
We have included the key items of feedback discussed with our key stakeholders:
| Securityholder and Proxy Feedback | Response |
|---|---|
| While recognizing that IperionX operates solely in the United States, while IperionX has its primary listing on the ASX, the ASX standards for Executive and Non-Executive Compensation are influential. | We value ASX standards; however, our remuneration framework is intentionally aligned with U.S. practices in light of our strategic focus on increased manufacturing investments, strong market fundamentals in the U.S. titanium sector,<br> and our technology-driven business model. As we continue to expand our American operations and innovate in advanced titanium production, attracting and retaining top U.S. talent is critical to the long-term success of our business. By<br> tailoring our compensation structure to the U.S. market, we are better positioned to drive long-term shareholder value and ensure the operational and commercial success of our titanium technologies. |
| Provide more information on the peer group comparisons that influence KMP compensation reviews | Detailed peer group data will be incorporated in the Fiscal Year 2025 Remuneration Report. |
| Preference for KMP performance based incentives to be aligned to shareholder value creation, with a preference of > 50% of LTIP being performance based. | Historically, more than 50% of LTIPs on issue have been performance-based. Following the recent remuneration and benchmarking review by Pearl Meyer, the new company LTIP plan has been aligned to long term value creation with a higher<br> weighting on performance linked equity versus time-based equity. For KMP, performance-based incentives now comprise more than 50% and, in some cases, up to 70%. |
| LTIP granted to KMP should have a minimum 3-year cliff vesting profile, not annual vesting | This has been incorporated into the new LTIP plan designed by Pearl Meyer |
| To remove potential risk of conflict, any equity grants for Non-Executive Directors (NED) should have a vesting profile of no longer than one (1) year, and if the NED resigns, there should be a pro-rata allocation up to the date of<br> resignation. | This has been incorporated into the new LTIP plan designed by Pearl Meyer |
- 10 -
| (c) | Remuneration Benchmarking Review |
|---|---|
| (i) | Overview |
| --- | --- |
From late 2024 to April 2025, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee engaged Pearl Meyer, a U.S.-based independent remuneration consultant, to review IperionX’s remuneration structure, policy, and strategy for executives and employees. This review was prompted by the Company’s significant growth since the last benchmarking exercise and by stakeholder feedback on previous Remuneration Reports. Looking ahead, the Company intends to review its peer group annually during the September quarter.
Pearl Meyer benchmarked IperionX against comparable U.S. businesses, reflecting IperionX’s position as a U.S.-based technology and metals manufacturing company rather than a ASX resource company. The resulting framework emphasizes:
| • | Retaining key employees and attracting skilled talent to advance disruptive titanium technologies within the realities of competing in a highly competitive U.S. market; and |
|---|---|
| • | Aligning executive compensation with complex development and commercial initiatives over multi-year horizons to create long-term shareholder returns. |
| --- | --- |
Key characteristics of the 15 selected U.S. peers include:
| • | Industry – Vertically integrated metals, specialty chemicals, 3D printing, and manufacturing technology companies, mirroring IperionX’s business model; and |
|---|---|
| • | Stage – A mix of both operating and developing companies, encompassing pre-revenue/profit and post-revenue/profit organizations. |
| --- | --- |
When analyzing benchmarking data, Pearl Meyer considered:
| • | Size and Complexity – The peer group includes companies of varying maturity levels and revenue and cash flow profiles, which can create compensation differences. To address this, data was<br> segmented at a US$2 billion enterprise value threshold as a proxy for the stage of the business cycle; and |
|---|---|
| • | Role Comparison – Individual roles at IperionX were assessed to ensure like-for-like benchmarking with comparable positions in the peer group. |
| --- | --- |
| (ii) | 2025 Peer Group |
| --- | --- |
The table below is the selected group of peers for the 2024/2025 remuneration review that has informed the Fixed Remuneration, STI Targets and LTI allocations.

Beyond the selected peer group, survey data was also evaluated. Where both peer group and survey data were available, a weighted average was used to determine competitive market rates, assigning greater weight to proxy compensation data for KMP.
At this stage, the large U.S. titanium and advanced metal manufacturers - including Howmet Aerospace, Carpenter Technology, and ATI - were not included in the peer group. While these companies produce a range of titanium products for similar end markets and represent potential competitors for executive and managerial talent, their larger size, valuation, and complexity currently set them apart for benchmarking. However, they remain prospective peers for future benchmarking reviews as IperionX grows.
| (iii) | Benchmarking Outcomes |
|---|
The benchmarking review revealed that total remuneration - encompassing fixed remuneration and both STI and LTI awards - for KMP was below the 25th percentile of the sub-$2 billion enterprise value peer group. This gap was even more pronounced when the entire peer group was considered.
To ensure that IperionX can effectively attract, retain, and motivate high-calibre Executive KMP, the Board and the Remuneration and Nomination Committee have approved a revised executive remuneration framework for 2025, which includes:
| 1. | Target Total Cash Compensation: Positioned near the 25th percentile of the peer group; |
|---|---|
| 2. | Target Total Compensation: Positioned near the median of the peer group; and |
| --- | --- |
| 3. | Remuneration Mix. |
| --- | --- |
Weighted more heavily toward “at-risk” components that reflect both immediate priorities and longer-term strategic objectives. In determining the remuneration mix, the Company places greater emphasis on long-term incentives, aligned with the extended timelines required to achieve its strategic goals, retaining talent and deliver sustained shareholder value.
Under this updated framework, the Board and the Remuneration and Nomination Committee have also approved the following review for Mr. Hannigan and Mr. Arima.
| Base | Target<br><br> <br>STIP | STIP<br><br> <br>Target<br><br> <br>% | Total Target<br><br> <br>Cash<br><br> <br>Compensation | Target<br><br> <br>LTIP | Target Total<br><br> <br>Compensation | %<br><br> <br>Performance<br><br> <br>Related | |

Resolution 5 seeks shareholder approval for the issue of shares to Mr Hannigan relating to his 2024 STIP award, which Mr Hannigan has elected to take in shares, rather than cash.
| 4 | Resolutions 1 and 2 – Issue of RSUs to Directors |
|---|---|
| 4.1 | General |
| --- | --- |
Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder approval pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rules 10.11 and 10.19, Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act (including section 208 of the Corporations Act) and Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act (including sections 200B and 200E of the Corporations Act) and for all other purposes to issue (in aggregate) up to 715,040 RSUs to Messrs Arima and Hannigan (and/or their respective nominee(s)).
The Company is proposing to issue:
| (a) | up to 419,910 RSUs to Mr Anastasios Arima (and/or his nominee(s)) (Resolution 1); and |
|---|---|
| (b) | up to 295,130 RSUs to Mr Todd Hannigan (and/or his nominee(s)) (Resolution 2). |
| --- | --- |
Refer to Section 3 for details on the Company’s remuneration framework and benchmarking review undertaken by Pearl Meyer.
The terms and conditions of the RSUs are detailed in Schedule 2.
Resolutions 1 and 2 are ordinary resolutions.
The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.
| 4.2 | Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act |
|---|
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
| (a) | obtain the approval of its shareholders in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and |
|---|---|
| (b) | give the benefit within 15 months of such approval, |
| --- | --- |
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
Messrs Arima and Hannigan are Directors and therefore are related parties of the Company for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.
The Board has determined to seek Shareholder approval pursuant to section 208 of the Corporations Act for Resolutions 1 and 2.
- 13 -
| 4.3 | Section 200B of the Corporations Act |
|---|
In accordance with section 200B of the Corporations Act, a company may only give a person a benefit in connection with their retirement from a managerial or executive office, or position of employment, in the Company or a related body corporate if:
| (a) | it is approved by shareholders under section 200E of the Corporations Act; or |
|---|---|
| (b) | an exemption applies (for example, where the benefit together with other benefits does not exceed the payment limits set out in the Corporations Act, including where the aggregate benefits do not exceed one year’s average base salary). |
| --- | --- |
Section 200B of the Corporations Act applies where the benefit is given to, among other persons, a person whose details were included in the Director’s Report for the previous financial year. Messrs Arima and Hannigan’s details were included in the FY2024 Director’s Report.
A benefit includes (among other things) automatic, or accelerated, vesting of share-based payments for a person, on, or as a result of, retirement from their position in the company.
The terms of the RSUs provide that: (i) if a Qualifying Termination occurs, and subject to Shareholder approval, the RSUs that would have vested within one year after the Qualifying Termination, shall vest upon termination of Mr Arima or Mr Hannigan’s employment (as applicable), being the date of the Qualifying Termination; and (ii) the Board has a discretion to waive any or all vesting conditions applicable to the RSUs in circumstances where the relevant person ceases to be employed or engaged by the Company prior to the satisfaction of the vesting conditions being met and is considered by the Board (acting in good faith) to be a good leaver which should entitle the person to receive the vesting of some or all of the RSUs (together, the Potential RSU Retirement Benefits). The Board has formed the view that, should this occur, the affected RSUs may constitute a benefit in connection with Messrs Arima or Hannigan’s retirement from office under section 200B of the Corporations Act.
One of the benefits for which approval is sought under Resolutions 1 and 2 is the potential for Shares to be issued to Mr Arima or Mr Hannigan (and/or their respective nominee(s)) upon the conversion of the RSUs as a result of the automatic vesting of the RSUs upon the occurrence of a Qualifying Termination or waiving of the Vesting Conditions.
The Company is therefore seeking Shareholder approval under section 200B of the Corporations Act in connection with the Potential RSU Retirement Benefits to be granted to Mr Arima or Mr Hannigan pursuant to Resolutions 1 and 2.
| 4.4 | Specific information required by section 200E of the Corporations Act |
|---|
The following additional information in relation to Resolutions 1 and 2 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of section 200E of the Corporations Act:
| (a) | the amount or value of the benefit relating to the RSUs pursuant to Resolution 1 or 2 to be held by Messrs Arima or Hannigan (and/or their respective nominee(s)) which may arise in connection with their retirement from a managerial or<br> executive office cannot presently be ascertained (please refer to Section 4.5(d) for an estimate of the current value of the RSUs (if they were on issue)). However, matters, events and circumstances that will, or are likely to affect the<br> calculation of that amount or value include: |
|---|---|
| (i) | the number of RSUs held prior to ceasing employment; |
| --- | --- |
| (ii) | the outstanding conditions (if any) of vesting of the RSUs; |
| --- | --- |
| (iii) | the circumstances of, or reasons for, ceasing employment or engagement with the Company and whether it constitutes a Qualifying Termination; |
| --- | --- |
| (iv) | the length of service with the Company and performance over that period of time; |
| --- | --- |
| (v) | the market price of the Shares on ASX at the relevant time when the amount or value of the RSUs is determined; |
| --- | --- |
| (vi) | any changes in law; and |
| --- | --- |
| (vii) | the risk-free rate of return in Australia and the estimated volatility of the Shares on ASX at the relevant time; and |
| --- | --- |
| (b) | the Company intends to calculate the value of the benefit relating to the RSUs at the relevant time based on the above factors. The RSUs have an estimated value of A$2.82 each (based on the VWAP of the Company’s underlying Share price on<br> ASX over the 30-days (22-trading days) to 10 April 2025). |
| --- | --- |
- 14 -
| 4.5 | Specific information required by section 219 of the Corporations Act |
|---|
The following information in relation to Resolutions 1 and 2 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of section 219 of the Corporations Act:
| (a) | The financial benefits relating to the issue of the RSUs are being provided to: |
|---|---|
| (i) | Mr Anastasios Arima (and/or his nominee(s)), CEO and Managing Director under Resolution 1; and |
| --- | --- |
| (ii) | Mr Todd Hannigan (and/or his nominee(s)), Executive Chairman under Resolution 2. |
| --- | --- |
| (b) | The maximum number of RSUs to be granted to: |
| --- | --- |
| (i) | Mr Anastasios Arima (and/or his nominee(s)) is up to 419,910 RSUs pursuant to Resolution 1; and |
| --- | --- |
| (ii) | Mr Todd Hannigan (and/or his nominee(s)) is up to 295,130 RSUs pursuant to Resolution 2. |
| --- | --- |
| (c) | The RSUs are being issued to Messrs Arima and Hannigan as part of their Director compensation arrangements. The Company considers the issuance of RSUs to be a cost-effective way to provide compensation benefits to Directors, and to align<br> the Directors interests with the interest of Shareholders, which will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to Messrs Arima<br> and Hannigan. The RSUs will be granted to Messrs Arima and Hannigan (and/or their nominee(s)) on the terms and conditions in Schedule 2. |
| --- | --- |
| (d) | The number of RSUs are considered appropriate based on the objectives of limiting the dilution of existing Shareholders upon the conversion of RSUs whilst also appropriately remunerating the Directors and aligning their interests with<br> Shareholders. |
| --- | --- |
| (e) | The RSUs have an estimated value of A$2.82 each (based on the VWAP of the Company’s underlying Share price on ASX over the 30-days (22-trading days) to 10 April 2025). As a result, the total value attributed to the RSUs to be issued to<br> Mr Arima (and/or his nominees) would be approximately A$1,184,147 and the total value attributed to the RSUs to be issued to Mr Hannigan (and/or his nominees) would be approximately A$832,266. |
| --- | --- |
| (f) | The current remuneration package of: |
| --- | --- |
| (i) | Mr Anastasios Arima consists of a salary of US$550,000 per annum and a discretionary performance bonus target of US$385,000 per annum upon the achievement of relevant KPIs. In addition, Mr Anastasios Arima has previously been granted<br> 6,000,000 Performance Rights (which have since vested and converted) and 956,000 RSUs (of which 318,667 have vested and converted, 318,667 vest on 31 December 2025, and 318,666 vest on 31 December 2026); and |
| --- | --- |
| (ii) | Mr Todd Hannigan consists of a salary of US$385,000 per annum and a discretionary performance bonus target of up to US$270,000 per annum upon the achievement of relevant KPIs. In addition, Mr Todd Hannigan has previously been granted<br> 3,500,000 Performance Rights (which have since vested and converted) and 478,000 RSUs (of which 159,333 have vested and converted, 159,333 vest on 31 December 2025, and 159,334 vest on 31 December 2026). |
| --- | --- |
| (g) | As at the date of the Notice, Messrs Arima and Hannigan’s interests in the securities of the Company are as follows: |
| --- | --- |
- 15 -
| Name | Shares | Performance<br><br> <br>Shares^1^ | Options | Performance Options^1^ | RSUs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Todd Hannigan | 24,991,431 | 1,260,000 | - | 560,000 | 318,667 |
| Anastasios Arima | 10,780,114 | 2,250,000 | 625,000 | 1,000,000 | 637,333 |
Note:
| 1. | Performance Shares and Performance Options were issued to the vendors of Hyperion Metals (Australia) Pty Ltd (HMAPL) as part of the Company’s acquisition of HMAPL on 1 December 2020, following<br> Shareholder approval on 30 November 2020. The Performance Shares and Performance Options are subject to satisfaction of the following performance criteria: | |
|---|---|---|
| (a) | 50% of the Performance Options will convert into Shares upon completion of a positive prefeasibility study (prepared in accordance with the JORC Code and independently verified by a Competent Person) for heavy mineral sands mining and<br> processing on any of the Titan Project area which demonstrates a net present value of at least A$200,000,000 before 17 September 2024 or upon the occurrence of certain change of control events. The Performance Options expire December 1,<br> 2025; and | |
| --- | --- | |
| (b) | the Performance Shares and 50% of the Performance Options will convert into Shares upon commencement of commercial production from the Titan Project area before September 17, 2025 or upon the occurrence of certain change of control<br> events. The Performance Shares and Performance Options expire December 1, 2025. | |
| --- | --- | |
| (h) | There may be a perceived cost to the Company arising from the issue of the RSUs (and the Shares upon their vesting) for nil cash consideration. However, the benefits of incentivising the Directors to align each of their respective<br> interests with Shareholders should also be considered. | |
| --- | --- | |
| (i) | If all the RSUs subject to Resolutions 1 and 2 and all the Performance Rights subject to Resolutions 3 and 4 are converted into Shares, a total of 2,941,364 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from<br> 319,161,010 (being the total number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Notice) to 322,102,374 (assuming no further issues of Shares and no convertible securities vest or are exercised) with the effect that the shareholding of existing<br> Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 0.9%. | |
| --- | --- | |
| (j) | The historical quoted price information for Shares on ASX for the last twelve months from the date of the Notice is as follows: | |
| --- | --- | |
| Shares | Price | Date |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Highest | A$5.98 | 31 December 2024 |
| Lowest | A$1.815 | 8 August 2024 |
| Last | A$3.17 | 13 May 2025 |
| (k) | Mr Anastasios Arima has an interest in Resolution 1 and therefore believes it inappropriate to make a recommendation. The Board (excluding Mr Arima) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1. | |
| --- | --- | |
| (l) | Mr Todd Hannigan has an interest in Resolution 2 and therefore believes it inappropriate to make a recommendation. The Board (excluding Mr Hannigan) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2. | |
| --- | --- | |
| (m) | A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice for Resolutions 1 and 2. | |
| --- | --- | |
| (n) | Other than the information above and otherwise detailed in the Notice, the Company believes there is no there is no other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to pass Resolutions 1 and 2. | |
| --- | --- | |
| 4.6 | 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 issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to:
| (a) | a Related Party; |
|---|---|
| (b) | a person who is, or was at any time in the six months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company; |
| --- | --- |
| (c) | a person who is, or was at any time in the six months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives<br> them a right or expectation to do so; |
| --- | --- |
| (d) | an associate of a person referred to in (a) to (c); or |
| --- | --- |
- 16 -
| (e) | a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in (a) to (d) is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders, |
|---|
unless it obtains shareholder approval.
The issue of the RSUs to Messrs Arima and Hannigan (and/or their respective nominee(s)) falls within paragraph (a) above (being Listing Rule 10.11.1), as Messrs Arima and Hannigan are related parties to the Company, and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolution 1 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue up to 419,910 RSUs to Mr Anastasios Arima (and/or his nominee(s)) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 (and for all other purposes).
Resolution 2 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue up to 295,130 RSUs to Mr Todd Hannigan (and/or his nominee(s)) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 (and for all other purposes).
If Resolution 1 or 2 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant RSUs to the relevant Director (and/or his nominee(s)) and pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 14), the issue of the relevant RSUs will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 1 or 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant RSUs to the relevant Director (and/or his nominee(s)), as part of their Director compensation arrangements and the Company will need to find alternative measures to compensate its Directors.
| 4.7 | Listing Rule 6.23.3 |
|---|
Listing Rule 6.23.3 provides that a change affecting an option (which includes an RSU or Performance Right) cannot be made if it has the effect of reducing the exercise price, increasing the period of exercise or increasing the number of securities received on exercise of an option.
The exercise of a general discretion to waive a performance hurdle or milestone notwithstanding that the hurdle or milestone has not been achieved is generally considered by ASX to be an increase in the period for exercising the option that is prohibited by Listing Rule 6.23.3 on the basis that the option might vest in circumstances where it otherwise would not have vested as a result of the change.
In order for the Board to exercise its discretion to waive a Vesting Condition which attaches to the RSUs (as described in Section 4.3), the Company will need request a waiver from Listing Rule 6.23.3 to permit the Board to waive the Vesting Condition as a change to the terms of the RSUs. Any waiver granted by ASX will likely be conditional on Shareholder approval of the changes to the terms of the RSUs.
| 4.8 | Listing Rule 10.19 |
|---|
Listing Rule 10.19 provides that without approval of shareholders, an entity must ensure that no officer of the entity or any of its Child Entities will be, or may be, entitled to termination benefits if the value of those benefits and the termination benefits that may become payable to all officers together exceed 5% of the equity interests of the entity as set out in the latest accounts given to ASX under the Listing Rules (5%
Threshold\). For the purpose of the Listing Rules, termination benefits include payments, property and advantages that are receivable on termination of engagement with the Company.
Shareholder approval of the benefits that may be given to Messrs Arima and Hannigan (and/or their respective nominee(s)) by virtue of the conversion of the RSUs as a result of the automatic vesting of the RSUs upon the occurrence of a Qualifying Termination or waiving of the Vesting Conditions upon termination or cessation of Messrs Arima or Hannigan’s employment is sought under Listing Rule 10.19.
Depending upon the value of the termination benefits associated with the RSUs (see Section 4.4), based on factors including the circumstances of, or reasons for, Messrs Arima or Hannigan ceasing employment or engagement with the Company and the conversion of the RSUs as a result of the automatic vesting of the RSUs upon the occurrence of a Qualifying Termination or waiving of the Vesting Conditions upon termination or cessation of Messrs Arima or Hannigan’s employment with the Company and the equity interests of the Company at the time such benefits may crystallise, the value of the termination benefits the subject of Resolutions 1 and 2 may exceed the 5% Threshold. Shareholder approval is being sought for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.19 in order to give the Company flexibility, in case the value of the termination benefits (whether alone or in aggregate with other termination benefits) exceeds the 5% Threshold.
- 17 -
If Resolutions 1 or 2 are passed, the Company will be able to provide termination benefits associated with the RSUs to Messrs Arima or Hannigan (as applicable) (and/or their respective nominee(s)) which may exceed the 5% Threshold to Messrs Arima or Hannigan (as applicable) in connection with Messrs Arima or Hannigan (as applicable) ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office in the Company.
If Resolutions 1 or 2 are not passed, the Company will not be able to provide termination benefits associated with the RSUs to Messrs Arima or Hannigan (as applicable) (and/or their respective nominee(s)) where those termination benefits along with termination benefits payable to all officers together exceed the 5% Threshold.
| 4.9 | Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13 |

| --- | --- |
| (g) | The RSUs are being issued to Messrs Arima and Hannigan as part of their Director compensation arrangements. The Company considers the issuance of RSUs to be a cost-effective way to provide compensation benefits to Directors, and to align<br> the Directors interests with the interest of Shareholders, which will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to Messrs Arima<br> and Hannigan. |

Refer to Section 3 for details on the Company’s remuneration framework and benchmarking review undertaken by Pearl Meyer.
For CEO and Managing Director, Mr Anastasios Arima, the proposed issue of up to 1,307,418 Performance Rights is in-line with U.S. based peer group comparators and aligned with linking sustained Company performance, retention and long-term Shareholder value.
For Executive Chairman, Mr Todd Hannigan, the proposed issue of up to 918,906 Performance Rights is in-line with U.S. based peer group comparators and aligned with linking sustained Company performance, retention and long-term Shareholder value.
The terms and conditions of the Performance Rights are detailed in Schedule 3.
Resolutions 3 and 4 are ordinary resolutions.
The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolutions 3 and 4.
| 5.2 | Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act |
|---|
Refer to Section 4.2 for a summary of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
The Board has determined to seek Shareholder approval pursuant to section 208 of the Corporations Act for Resolutions 3 and 4.
| 5.3 | Section 200B of the Corporations Act |
|---|
Refer to Section 4.3 for a summary of section 200B of the Corporations Act.
The terms of the Performance Rights provide that: (i) if a Qualifying Termination occurs, and subject to Shareholder approval, the Performance Rights that would have vested within one year after the Qualifying Termination, shall vest upon termination of Mr Arima or Mr Hannigan’s employment (as applicable), being the date of the Qualifying Termination; and (ii) the Board has a discretion to waive any or all vesting conditions applicable to the Performance Rights in circumstances where the relevant person ceases to be employed or engaged by the Company prior to the satisfaction of the performance criteria being met and is considered by the Board (acting in good faith) to be a good leaver which should entitle the person to receive the vesting of some or all of the Performance Rights (together, the Potential Performance Right Retirement Benefits). The Board has formed the view that, should this occur, the affected Performance Rights may constitute a benefit in connection with Messrs Arima or Hannigan’s retirement from office under section 200B of the Corporations Act.
One of the benefits for which approval is sought under Resolutions 3 and 4 is the potential for Shares to be issued to Mr Arima or Mr Hannigan (and/or their respective nominee(s)) upon the conversion of the Performance Rights as a result of the automatic vesting of the Performance Rights upon the occurrence of a Qualifying Termination or waiving of the Performance Criteria.
The Company is therefore seeking Shareholder approval under section 200B of the Corporations Act in connection with the Potential Performance Right Retirement Benefits to be granted to Mr Arima or Mr Hannigan pursuant to Resolutions 3 and 4.
| 5.4 | Specific information required by section 200E of the Corporations Act |
|---|
The following additional information in relation to Resolutions 3 and 4 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of section 200E of the Corporations Act:
| (a) | the amount or value of the benefit relating to the Performance Rights pursuant to Resolution 3 or 4 to be held by Messrs Arima or Hannigan (and/or their respective nominee(s)) which may arise in connection with their retirement from a<br> managerial or executive office cannot presently be ascertained (please refer to Section 4.5(d) for an estimate of the current value of the Performance Rights (if they were on issue)). However, matters, events and circumstances that will, or<br> are likely to affect the calculation of that amount or value include: |
|---|---|
| (i) | the number of Performance Rights held prior to ceasing employment; |
| --- | --- |
| (ii) | the outstanding conditions (if any) of vesting of the Performance Rights; |
| --- | --- |
| (iii) | the circumstances of, or reasons for, ceasing employment or engagement with the Company and whether it constitutes a Qualifying Termination; |
| --- | --- |
| (iv) | the length of service with the Company and performance over that period of time; |
| --- | --- |
| (v) | the market price of the Shares on ASX at the relevant time when the amount or value of the Performance Rights is determined; |
| --- | --- |
- 20 -
| (vi) | any changes in law; and |
|---|---|
| (vii) | the risk-free rate of return in Australia and the estimated volatility of the Shares on ASX at the relevant time; and |
| --- | --- |
| (b) | the Company intends to calculate the value of the benefit relating to the Performance Rights at the relevant time based on the above factors. The Performance Rights have an estimated value as set out below in section 5.5(e). |
| --- | --- |
| 5.5 | Specific information required by section 219 of the Corporations Act |
| --- | --- |
The following information in relation to Resolutions 3 and 4 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of section 219 of the Corporations Act:
| (a) | The financial benefits relating to the issue of the Performance Rights are being provided to: |
|---|---|
| (i) | Mr Anastasios Arima (and/or his nominee(s)), CEO and Managing Director under Resolution 3; and |
| --- | --- |
| (ii) | Mr Todd Hannigan (and/or his nominee(s)), Executive Chairman under Resolution 4. |
| --- | --- |
| (b) | The maximum number of Performance Rights to be granted to: |
| --- | --- |
| (i) | Mr Anastasios Arima (and/or his nominee(s)) is up to 1,307,418 Performance Rights pursuant to Resolution 3; and |
| --- | --- |
| (ii) | Mr Todd Hannigan (and/or his nominee(s)) is up to 918,906 Performance Rights pursuant to Resolution 4. |
| --- | --- |
| (c) | The Performance Rights are being issued to Messrs Arima and Hannigan as part of their Director compensation arrangements. The Company considers the issuance of Performance Rights to be a cost-effective way to provide compensation<br> benefits to Directors, and to align the Directors interests with the interest of Shareholders, which will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of<br> remuneration were given to Messrs Arima and Hannigan. The Performance Rights will be granted to Messrs Arima and Hannigan (and/or their nominee(s)) on the terms and conditions in Schedule 3. |
| --- | --- |
| (d) | The number of Performance Rights are considered appropriate based on the objectives of limiting the dilution of existing Shareholders upon the conversion of Performance Rights whilst also appropriately remunerating the Directors and<br> aligning their interests with Shareholders. |
| --- | --- |
| (e) | The Performance Rights have an estimated value as set out below. As a result, the total value attributed to the Performance Rights to be issued to Mr Arima (and/or his nominees) would be approximately A$2,763,000 and the total value<br> attributed to the Performance Rights to be issued to Mr Hannigan (and/or his nominees) would be approximately A$1,941,000. |

The Performance Shares and Performance Options are subject to satisfaction of the following performance criteria: |
|---|---|
| (a) | 50% of the Performance Options will convert into Shares upon completion of a positive prefeasibility study (prepared in accordance with the JORC Code and independently verified by a Competent Person) for heavy mineral sands mining and<br> processing on any of the Titan Project area which demonstrates a net present value of at least A$200,000,000 before 17 September 2024 or upon the occurrence of certain change of control events.

| --- | --- |
| (h) | There may be a perceived cost to the Company arising from the issue of the Performance Rights (and the Shares upon their vesting) for nil cash consideration. However, the benefits of incentivising the Directors to achieve their<br> performance criteria and aligning each of their respective interests with Shareholders should also be considered, and are the key purposes for the proposed issue of Performance Rights. |
| --- | --- |
| (i) | If all the RSUs subject to Resolutions 1 and 2 and all the Performance Rights subject to Resolutions 3 and 4 are converted into Shares, a total of 2,941,364 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from<br> 319,161,010 (being the total number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Notice) to 322,102,374 (assuming no further issues of Shares and no convertible securities vest or are exercised) with the effect that the shareholding of existing<br> Shareholders would be diluted by an aggregate of 0.9%. |

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11 and for all other purposes to issue up to 141,844 Shares to Mr Todd Hannigan (and/or his nominee(s)).
Some executive KMP, including Mr Hannigan, are entitled to an annual cash bonus upon achieving various key performance indicators (KPI’s), as set by the Board.
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee and Board considered the below KPIs in determining short-term incentive plan (STIP) bonuses in respect of the year ended December 31, 2024. In addition, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee also considered market conditions, complexity/challenges within each KPI and specific employee contributions to determine individual STIP allocations.
These KPI’s are reviewed regularly by the Board throughout the year to ensure the business remains agile through its growth phase, as well as having regard to the current size, nature and opportunities of the Group.
The STI awards were determined following assessment of Company and individual performance against performance measures considered relevant by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and the Non-Executive Directors.
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee and Non-Executive Directors considered a range of quantitative and qualitative factors when determining STI outcomes and applied their informed judgement to adjust STI outcomes to ensure they were fair, appropriate and aligned to IPX’s overall performance and shareholder outcomes. The Non-Executive Directors also considered how performance outcomes were achieved in line with the IPX’s values.
- 25 -
The table below is a summary of the STIP Outcomes for CY24:
| Business Factor | Rationale | Weighting | Achievement / KPI |
|---|---|---|---|
| Safety | Managing the health and<br><br> <br>safety matters as a critical<br><br> <br>business activity | 15% | • Achieved zero recordable injuries in 2024<br><br> <br>• Designed and implemented robust engineering systems to ensure workplace safety |
| People & Sustainability | Recruitment and retention of<br><br> <br>key talent across the business,<br><br> <br>managing environmental<br><br> <br>compliance and promoting<br><br> <br>sustainable development | 15% | • Recruitment and retention of top talent is critical to IperionX’s long-term success. In 2024, we added 24 employees, growing the team to 52 employees<br><br> <br>• Obtained revalidation by UL for 100% recycled content for powder production in SLC, Utah |
| Product Innovation / R&D / IP | New innovation, R&D and<br><br> <br>protection of existing IP | 15% | • Confidential ongoing innovation and protection of existing IP<br><br> <br>• Completed full acquisition of the ‘Titanium Technologies’ from Blacksand Technology LLC in November - securing IP critical for commercialization and long-term success |
| Commercial and Government Engagements | Focus on delivering numerous commercial and government contracts | 15% | • Significant progress above expectation on publicly announced and confidential commercial engagements<br><br> <br>• Significant progress above expectation on government contracts, including funding programs and other confidential engagements. |
| Operations | Focus on delivery of key<br><br> <br>scale-up targets | 15% | • The 1080 Building was transformed into near finished industrial titanium production hub over the year.<br><br> <br>• The 1092 Building was transformed into the Advanced Manufacturing Center<br><br> <br>• Progress the Titan Project towards DFS and position for future development |
| Funding, Corporate, Financial and Investor Relations | Focus on delivery and commercialization of our<br><br> <br>assets and balance sheet<br><br> <br>strength | 25% | • Raised US$100M in capital across two successful equity placements ($33M in May, $67M in October)<br><br> <br>• Added eight new institutional shareholders to the register<br><br> <br>• An exceptional +300% increase (or 4x) in the share price over 2024<br><br> <br>• Inclusion in the ASX300 Index significantly increased share liquidity |
Based on the above achievement of the STIP KPI’s, as well as recognition of Mr Hannigan’s individual contribution and performance to the success of the business over the 2024 year, on 20 February 2025, the Board authorised the Company to pay Mr Todd Hannigan a US$250,000 bonus for the year ended 31 December 2024 (being 200% of his annual discretionary bonus target as set out in his employment agreement). The amount of the bonus is consistent with the Company’s previous U.S. peer benchmarking analysis completed by CAP in 2023.
Subject to shareholder approval, Mr Hannigan has elected to be issued shares in lieu of cash payment of the 2024 STIP. The deemed issue price of the proposed issue of Shares to Mr Hannigan under Resolution 5 is A$2.82, being the VWAP of the Company’s Shares on ASX over the 30-days (22-trading days) to 10 April 2025.
Resolution 5 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 5.
| 6.2 | 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 issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to:
| (a) | a Related Party; |
|---|---|
| (b) | a person who is, or was at any time in the six months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company; |
| --- | --- |
| (c) | a person who is, or was at any time in the six months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives<br> them a right or expectation to do so; |
| --- | --- |
| (d) | an associate of a person referred to in (a) to (c); or |
| --- | --- |
| (e) | a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in (a) to (d) is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders, |
| --- | --- |
unless it obtains shareholder approval.
The issue of Shares to Mr Hannigan (and/or his nominee(s)) falls within paragraph (a) above (being Listing Rule 10.11.1), as Mr Hannigan is a related party to the Company, and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
Resolution 5 seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue up to 141,844 Shares to Mr Todd Hannigan (and/or his nominee(s)) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 (and for all other purposes).
If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Shares to Mr Todd Hannigan (and/or his nominee(s)) and pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 14), the issue of Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Shares to Mr Hannigan (and/or his nominee(s)), as part of his annual bonus and the Company will need to pay this amount in cash or find alternative measures to compensate Mr Hannigan.
