BACKGROUND
Following the despatch of the Notice of Meeting to Shareholders on 30 May 2025, the Company's
substantial shareholder, Mineral Resources Limited (MinRes), determined to participate in the
Priority Offer, through its wholly owned subsidiary Lithium Resources Operations Pty Ltd, to the full
extent of its entitlement. Accordingly, Section 6.11 of the Explanatory Memorandum requires
updating. The Company also takes this opportunity to update the number of In-specie Shares that
will be subject to voluntary escrow based on the updated shareholdings of the Escrowed Parties in
the Company as at the date of this Addendum. This Addendum is provided to Shareholders to
update the relevant Sections in the Explanatory Memorandum, having regard to the changes noted
above.
2
AMENDMENTS TO THE EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
2.1
Ballard Capital Structure
Section 6.10 of the Explanatory Memorandum is updated to note that, as at the date of this
Addendum, approximately 29,453,592 In-specie Shares to be transferred to the Escrowed Parties
will be subject to voluntary escrow for a period of six months from their date of issue, and will be
subject to an orderly market provision for a further period of six months.
2.2
Ballard Substantial Shareholders
Section 6.11 of the Explanatory Memorandum is deleted and replaced with the following:
6.11
Ballard substantial shareholders
As at the date of this Notice, Ballard is a wholly owned Subsidiary of Delta and Delta holds
100% of the issued capital of Ballard.
The substantial shareholders of Ballard will ultimately depend on which, and to what extent,
investors participate in the IPO Offer and that will not be determined until the completion of
the IPO Offer. The Directors note that major Delta Shareholders are each entitled to
participate in the IPO Offer and may become major Ballard Shareholders following the Inspecie Distribution and if they participate in the IPO Offer.
As at the date of this Notice and based on the In-specie Distribution alone, none of the
substantial Delta Shareholders (other than Lithium Resources Operations Pty Ltd (Lithium
Resources Operations) (and its controller, Mineral Resources Limited (MinRes))) will be
substantial Ballard Shareholders, unless and to the extent they elect to participate in the
IPO Offer.
As at the Admission Date, based on the In-specie Distribution and Lithium Resources
Operations taking up its full entitlement under the Priority Offer, and assuming Lithium
Resources Operations (and its controller, MinRes) does not participate in the Other Offer,
Lithium Resources Operations will be the registered holder of approximately 5.98% of the
Ballard Shares on issue at the Minimum Subscription, and approximately 5.63% at the
Maximum Subscription.
-3Under section 606 of the Corporations Act, a person cannot acquire a Relevant Interest in
the issued voting shares of a company if, because of a transaction in relation to securities
of that company, a person's Voting Power in the company increases from 20% or below to
more than 20% (or from a starting point that is above 20% and below 90%). The basis of
allocation of Ballard Shares under the IPO Offer will be determined by Ballard and the Joint
Lead Managers, except that Ballard Shares will not be allocated to an Eligible Shareholder
if doing so would breach section 606 of the Corporations Act.
Based on the information known as at the date of this Notice, the following persons are
expected to have a Relevant Interest in 5% or more of the Ballard Shares on issue
(assuming completion of the In-specie Distribution and the IPO Offer):

Notes:
1. MinRes will holds its shareholding in Ballard through its wholly owned Subsidiary, Lithium
Resources Operations.
2. Assumes MinRes will participate in the Priority Offer (via Lithium Resources Operations) to the
full extent of its entitlement but will not (directly or indirectly through its Subsidiaries) participate
in the Other Offer.
3. Comprises Delta's Relevant Interest as the registered holder of its retained shareholding in
Ballard, and Delta's deemed Relevant Interest in the Ballard Shares the subject of the voluntary
escrow deeds entered into, or proposed to be entered into prior to admission of Ballard to the
Official List, between Ballard and each of the Escrowed Parties by virtue of section 608(3)(a) of
the Corporations Act. This assumes that Ballard has entered into voluntary escrow deeds with
each of the Escrowed Parties at the time of admission of Ballard to the Official List. Refer to
Sections 6.10 and 6.16(h) for further information.
4. Comprises MinRes' deemed Relevant Interest in the Ballard Shares held by Delta by virtue of
section 608(3)(a) of the Corporations Act and its Relevant Interest in the Ballard Shares
distributed through the In-specie Distribution to, and subscribed for under the Priority Offer by,
Lithium Resources Operations.
The Ballard Directors note that Delta, due to its approximately 48.9% shareholding at the
Minimum Subscription, and approximately 46% shareholding at the Maximum Subscription,
in Ballard, being above 20%, will be deemed to have a Relevant Interest in any Ballard
Shares that Ballard has a Relevant Interest in, which will include for the purposes of
substantial shareholding requirements, but not the takeover prohibitions under the
Corporations Act, the Ballard Shares the subject of the voluntary escrow deeds entered into
between Ballard and each of the Escrowed Parties prior to the admission of Ballard to the
Official List pursuant to section 608(3)(a) of the Corporations Act.
-4The Directors note that MinRes, as a Delta Shareholder through Lithium Resources
Operations, will be entitled to receive Ballard Shares through the In-specie Distribution and
will be entitled to participate in the Priority Offer. Due to its 22.88% substantial shareholding
in Delta, being above 20%, MinRes will be deemed to have a Relevant Interest in any
Ballard Shares held by Delta pursuant to section 608(3)(a) of the Corporations Act. At the
point in time when the Ballard Shares are transferred to Eligible Shareholders under the Inspecie Distribution (or to the Sale Agent in respect of Ineligible Shareholders) and the
Ballard Shares are issued pursuant to the IPO Offer, which will happen contemporaneously,
Ballard will become a Chapter 6 entity under the Corporations Act for the first time. MinRes'
initial Relevant Interest in Ballard will depend on the number of Ballard Shares Lithium
Resources Operations is entitled to receive through the In-specie Distribution in its own
capacity, the number of Ballard Shares that Lithium Resources Operations is allotted under
the Priority Offer and Delta's registered shareholding in Ballard and, assuming no further
participation in the Other Offer, will represent a Relevant Interest (including its deemed
Relevant Interest through its shareholding in Delta) of approximately 54.84% based on the
Minimum Subscription and approximately 51.61% based on the Maximum Subscription. At
no time has or will the In-specie Distribution or the IPO Offer result in MinRes acquiring or
subscribing for Ballard Shares after Ballard qualifies and becomes subject to the
prohibitions under Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act.
Both Delta and MinRes will be required to file a substantial shareholder notice in respect of
their respective Relevant Interests (including its deemed Relevant Interest) in Ballard.
MinRes does not control Delta, nor does Delta control Ballard and hence section 608(3)(b)
of the Corporations Act is not considered relevant in determining the Relevant Interests of
either MinRes or Delta in Ballard or Ballard Shares.
MinRes has confirmed that it will not participate in the Other Offer and, moreover, that it has
no intention to:
2.3
(a)
change the business of Ballard;
(b)
inject any capital into Ballard;
(c)
influence or otherwise be involved in the future employment of present employees
of Ballard;
(d)
put forward any proposal where assets will be transferred between MinRes and
Ballard or any of their associates;
(e)
otherwise redeploy the fixed assets of Ballard; or
(f)
significantly change the financial or dividend distribution policies of Ballard.
Delta Director Interests
Section 7.5 of the Explanatory Memorandum is updated to note that Mr Josh Thurlow, being a
Director of Delta, will no longer participate in the Other Offer. Mr Thurlow will not receive any Inspecie Shares and will not participate in the IPO Offer.
