Should you wish to discuss the matters in this Notice of Meeting please do not hesitate to contact the Company Secretary on 08 9485 3200. Notice of General Meeting

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a General Meeting of Shareholders of Synergia Energy Ltd (ABN 50 078 652 632) (Company) will be held at Vigo Consulting, Sackville House 40 Piccadilly London W1J 0DR on Thursday, 15 February 2024 at 10.00am (GMT) / 6.00pm (AWST) to conduct the business set out below.

Voting Eligibility

In accordance with regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth), the Company has determined that the shareholding of each person for the purposes of determining entitlements to attend and vote at the General Meeting will be the entitlement of that person set out in the Company's register as at 4.00pm (AWST) on Tuesday, 13 February 2024. Accordingly, transactions registered after this time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the General Meeting.

To vote in person, you must attend the Meeting at the time, date and place set out above.

To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by the time and in accordance with the instructions set out on the Proxy Form.

CREST - Depositary Interests

Holders of Depositary Interests (DI Holders) are invited to attend the Meeting but are not entitled to vote at the Meeting. For their votes to be counted, DI Holders must either:

-- submit a CREST Voting Instruction to the Company's agent in accordance with the instructions below; or

   --     complete, sign and return a Form of Instruction to the Depositary, 

by 2pm GMT on 12 February 2024. DI Holders who are CREST members and who wish to issue an instruction through the CREST electronic voting appointment service may do so by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual (available from https://my.euroclear.com/euilegal.html). CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting services provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.

In order for instructions made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a CREST Voting Instruction) must be properly authenticated in accordance with the specifications of Euroclear UK & International Limited (EUI) and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual.

The message, regardless of whether it relates to the voting instruction or to an amendment to the instruction given to the UK Depositary must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent (ID 3RA50) no later than 2pm GMT on 12 February 2024. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the CREST Voting Instruction by the CREST applications host) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the CREST Voting Instruction by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST.

CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that EUI does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the transmission of CREST Voting Instructions. It is the responsibility of each CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider(s), to procure that the CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a CREST Voting Instruction is transmitted by means of the CREST service by any particular time. In this regard, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.

The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Voting Instruction in the circumstances set out in regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.

Entitlement to vote and the number of votes which may be cast thereat will be determined by reference to the Depositary Interest Register at close of business on 9 February 2024 Changes to entries on the Depositary Interest Register after that time shall be disregarded.

Each vote on the business to be conducted at the Meeting will be conducted by way of a poll. As such, each Shareholder is entitled to one vote on each resolution for each fully paid ordinary share in the Company held by such Shareholder.

If you wish to appoint 2 proxies you must use a separate proxy form for each proxy and indicate the percentage of your voting rights or the number of shares that each proxy is appointed in respect of, on the proxy forms. If you wish to appoint more than 1 proxy you should photocopy the enclosed proxy form or request an additional proxy form to be sent to you. Where a member appoints 2 proxies and does not specify the proportion or number of the member's votes, each proxy may exercise half of the member's rights.

An instrument appointing a proxy may not be treated as valid unless the instrument, and the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which the instrument is signed or proof of the power or authority to the satisfaction of the Directors, is or are:

All forms of instruction must be lodged no later than 2pm GMT on 12 February 2024.

An instrument appointing a proxy must be in writing under the hand of the appointer or of the appointer's attorney duly authorised in writing or, if the appointer is a body corporate, either under its common seal if it has a common seal, or under the hand of an officer or duly authorised attorney or duly authorised representative.

A body corporate which is a Shareholder, or which has been appointed as a proxy, may appoint an individual to act as its representative at the General Meeting. The appointment must comply with section 250D of the Corporations Act. The representative should bring evidence of their appointment to the General Meeting, including authority under which their appointment is signed, unless previously given to the Company.

Shareholders and their proxies should be aware that:

   --     if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as directed; and 

-- any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chair, who must vote the proxies as directed.

Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote

Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does:

-- the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

-- if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution, the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and

-- if the proxy is the Chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on, the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

-- if the proxy is not the chair, the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

If a proxy is also a Shareholder, section 250BB(1) does not affect the way that the person can cast any votes that hold as a Shareholder.

Transfer of non-chair proxy to Chair in certain circumstances

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

-- an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and

   --     the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and 
   --     at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and 
   --     either of the following applies: 
   o     the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting; or 
   o     the proxy does not vote on the resolution, 

the chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.

Chair's voting intentions

The Chair intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of all Resolutions unless the Shareholder has expressly indicated a different voting intention on the Proxy Form.

If the Chair is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chair is to vote on Resolution 1 by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chair with an express authorisation for the Chair to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chair's intention, even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel of the Company.
