For those shareholders that hold their Bushveld shares through a broker or other intermediary (non-registered/ beneficial shareholders), a completed voting instruction form should be deposited in accordance with the instructions printed on the form by no later than 10am (UK time) on 25 December 2023.

Board of Directors Recommendation

It is very important for all shareholders to vote at the upcoming General Meeting. Historically, voter turnout has been low, with a vast majority of the Company's retail investor base not electing to vote. The retail vote is very important to ensure retail shareholders are properly represented.

If the resolutions do not pass, the Company will not benefit from the funds that have been conditionally raised and are available to it by the end of this month to normalise creditor payment terms with key suppliers, which would in turn lead to disruption in the operation of the vanadium mining and processing businesses. Failure of the resolutions being approved would also result in the pre-agreed Orion convertible loan note restructuring not completing and the existing Orion debt becoming due on 31 January 2024. Failing to vote, or voting against the resolutions could therefore seriously jeopardise the value of the shareholders' investment in the Company and the Board of Directors recommends that all shareholders vote in favour of the resolutions at the upcoming General Meeting,
