Cleansing Notice – Issue of First Tranche Convertible Debentures
This cleansing notice (Cleansing Notice) is given by NOVONIX Limited (ACN 157 690 830) (ASX:NVX) (Company) under section 708A(12C)(e) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act) (as notionally inserted by ASIC Corporations (Sale Offers: Securities Issued on Conversion of Convertible Notes) Instrument 2016/82 (ASIC Instrument 2016/82)).
The Company hereby confirms that:
(a)the convertible debentures described below will be issued without disclosure to an investor under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act; and
(b)this Cleansing Notice has been given in accordance with section 708A(12C)(e) of the Corporations Act.
The issue of this Cleansing Notice enables the fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (Shares) issued on the conversion of the unsecured convertible debentures issued by the Company on the terms described below, to be on‐sold to retail investors without further disclosure.
This Cleansing Notice is important and should be read in its entirety. Neither ASIC nor ASX takes any responsibility for the contents of this Cleansing Notice.
On 23 July 2025, the Company announced that it has entered into a convertible debenture transaction with Yorkville Advisors Global, LP, documented under a funding agreement (Agreement) with YA II PN, Ltd (Investor), a US-based investment fund managed by Yorkville Advisors Global, LP.
The Company will issue the Investor up to 100,000,000 interest-bearing redeemable unsecured convertible debentures each at a face value of US$1 (Convertible Debentures), comprising:
(a)the first tranche of 24,500,000 Convertible Debentures to raise up to a total of US$23,275,000 (First Tranche Convertible Debentures); and
(b)subject to the Company obtaining shareholder approval, the second tranche of 35,500,000 Convertible Debentures to raise up to a total of US$33,725,000 (Second Tranche Convertible Debentures),
for consideration, in aggregate, of up to US$57,000,000; and

page 1 |
(c)subject to the Company obtaining shareholder approval, an additional tranche of 40,000,000 Convertible Debentures, in connection with a potential additional funding tranche, to raise up to a further US$38,000,000 (Additional Tranche Convertible Debentures),
subject to the terms of the Agreement.
The Investor is a professional investor or sophisticated investor for the purposes of section 708 of the Corporations Act.
The First Tranche Convertible Debentures have been issued today. The issuance and conversion of the First Tranche Convertible Debentures utilised the Company's existing 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and accordingly shareholder approval has not been sought for the issue. The Investor's ability to convert the First Tranche Convertible Debentures is subject to a conversion cap on the amount of underlying shares being issued on conversion not exceeding 95,466,845 Shares, unless and until shareholder approval is obtained (Conversion Cap). This number corresponds to the number of shares that the Company can currently issue under Listing Rule 7.1 without needing to obtain shareholder approval.
The issue of the Second Tranche Convertible Debentures and the Additional Tranche Convertible Debentures is subject to shareholder approval. The Second Tranche Convertible Debentures and the Additional Tranche Convertible Debentures will be issued on or around the time that shareholder approval is obtained at an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company expected to be held on 9 September 2025 and the Company expects to provide a cleansing notice in connection with the issuance of the Second Tranche Convertible Debentures and the Additional Tranche Convertible Debentures at such time.

4The effect of the issue on the Company
4.1Effect of the issue on the Company
The principal effects of the issue, and any subsequent conversion and issue of Shares, of the First Tranche Convertible Debentures on the Company will be:
(a)an increase in the Company's cash reserves by US$23,275,000 (before other costs associated with the issue);
(b)an increase in the Company's indebtedness by an amount equal to US$23,275,000 plus all accrued and unpaid interest;
(c)to impose on the Company obligations (financial or otherwise) and restrictions in relation to its business operations (including capital raising activities) aimed at protecting the interests of the Investor under the terms of the Agreement;
(d)if the Investor elects to convert the First Tranche Convertible Debentures to Shares, either in whole or in part, the Investor will be issued the Shares and the Company will decrease its indebtedness accordingly. The potential effect of the conversion and the issue of Shares on the Company's capital structure is described in further detail below.
4.2Pro-forma consolidated statement of financial position
A pro-forma consolidated statement of financial position is set out in Schedule 1. This is based on the Company's financial statements for the full year period ended 31 December 2024.
The following adjustments and assumptions have been made in relation to the pro-forma consolidated statement of financial position:
•The pro forma financial information is presented in an abbreviated form and does not include all of the disclosures required by Australian Accounting Standards applicable to the annual financial report. The pro forma financial information is not audited.
•Cash proceeds of up to US$23,275,000 arising from the issue of the First Tranche Convertible Debentures have been recognised. The First Tranche Convertible Debentures have been provisionally measured at fair value.
•The provisional accounting for the First Tranche Convertible Debentures and allocations between borrowings, derivative financial instruments and equity may change in the future.
•Transaction costs have not been included. However, when incurred they will reduce the carrying amount of the liability and be amortised over the life of the First Tranche Convertible Debentures.
The pro-forma consolidated statement of financial position reflects the issue of the First Tranche Convertible Debentures, and the Company advises that it does not show the current financial position of the Company as at the date of this Cleansing Notice, and that the information is provided for illustrative purposes only.
A separate pro-forma consolidated statement of financial position, reflecting the issue of the Second Tranche Convertible Debentures and the Additional Tranche Convertible Debentures, will be included in the cleansing notice in connection with the issue of those Convertible Debentures.

4.3Potential effect on capital structure
The capital structure of the Company as at the date of this Cleansing Notice and before the issue of the First Tranche Convertible Debentures is set out below.
The effect of conversion of the First Tranche Convertible Debentures on the Company’s issued share capital will depend on what portion (if any) of the First Tranche Convertible Debentures are converted to Shares at any one time and the conversion price at the time of the conversion. The number of Shares to be issued upon any conversion is calculated in accordance with a variable formula which depends on both the market price of the Shares on ASX and the AUD/USD exchange rate at the time of conversion. This is subject to a lower limit (based on the "Fixed Conversion Price" of AU$0.6435 per Share) and an upper limit (being a "Floor Price" of AU$0.12 per Share).
As at the date of this Cleansing Notice, no First Tranche Convertible Debentures have been converted.

* This assumes conversion at the lowest possible conversion price under the Agreement, assuming an AUD:USD exchange rate of 0.6587. The actual number of Shares to be issued on conversion will be calculated in accordance with the conversion rate for the First Tranche Convertible Debentures, as detailed in Schedule 2.
** These are the US$30,000,000 worth of unsecured convertible notes issued to LG Energy Solution on 21 June 2023.
*** These are the First Tranche Convertible Debentures which are the subject of this Cleansing Notice.
Set out below is a worked example of the number of Shares that may be issued on conversion of the First Tranche Convertible Debentures, assuming an AUD:USD exchange rate of 0.6587, and based on assumed conversion prices of AU$0.6435 (being the "Fixed Conversion Price"), AU$0.4424 (which is representative of the 90-day VWAP of the Shares on ASX immediately preceding the date of this Cleansing Notice) and AU$0.12 (being the "Floor Price").
1 The Investor's ability to convert the First Tranche Convertible Debentures is subject to a conversion cap on the amount of underlying shares being issued on conversion not exceeding 95,466,845Shares, unless and until shareholder approval is obtained.

These workings are an example only, and the actual number of First Tranche Convertible Debentures that are converted to Shares and the number of Shares on issue at the time of conversion, may differ. This will result in the maximum number of Shares to be issued and the dilution percentage to also differ.
4.4Potential effect on control of the Company
As at the date of this Cleansing Notice, the Investor does not hold any Shares.
The level of ownership of Shares by the Investor, if the First Tranche Convertible Debentures are converted, will depend on the number of First Tranche Convertible Debentures that are converted to Shares and the number of Shares on issue at the time of conversion. The number of Shares that could be issued upon conversion is subject to a lower limit (based on the "Fixed Conversion Price" of AU$0.6435 per Share) and an upper limit (being a "Floor Price" of AU$0.12 per Share). This is designed, in part, to limit the dilutionary impacts of any conversion of the Convertible Debentures.
If conversion of the First Tranche Convertible Debentures occurred at the Floor Price, this would result in the maximum number of Shares that the Investor would be entitled to upon such conversion, and in such circumstances the Investor would hold 32.75% of all Shares currently on issue. This would require that the price of the Shares on ASX reduced to a price below AU$0.12 at the time of conversion, which represents a 79.49% discount to the price of the Shares on ASX on 23 July 2025.
In addition, under the Agreement, there are limits to how many Shares the Investor can be issued upon Conversion which will limit the potential effect on control of the Company, namely:
•The First Tranche Convertible Debentures are initially subject to a Conversion Cap of 95,466,845 Shares. If all of these Shares were issued to the Investor, this would represent 14.99% of all Shares currently on issue; and
•at all times, the Investor and any associates of the Investor are not permitted to convert any Convertible Debentures if on doing so the Investor and its associates would hold a relevant interest in the Company that exceeds 19.99% at the time of conversion.
5Rights and liabilities attaching to the Convertible Debentures
A summary of the rights, privileges and restrictions attaching to the First Tranche Convertible Debentures is outlined in the table in Schedule 2. The summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of the Investor.

|

The Board may refuse to register a transfer of shares on which the Company has a lien. |

Interest Rate |
5% per annum (unless an event of default has occurred and is subsisting, in which case additional default interest accrues at the rate of 13% per annum). |
Interest Payment Dates |
Semi-annually up to the Maturity Date, and upon conversion of any Convertible Debentures. |
Interest Equity Shares |
The Company will issue a number of Shares (Interest Equity Shares) to Yorkville simultaneously with the issue of the First Tranche Convertible Debentures, as prepayment of interest payable on the full-face value of the First Tranche Convertible Debentures for the first three-month period commencing on the date of the First Drawdown (First Interest Period). The number of Interest Equity Shares to be issued is determined based on the maximum amount of interest payable on the full-face value of the First Tranche Convertible Debentures for the First Interest Period (being US$302,055) (Base Prepayment) divided by the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 23 July 2025 (after applying the AUD/USD exchange rate on that date). If the actual amount of interest that would otherwise be payable on the face value of the First Tranche Convertible Debentures as at the end of the First Interest Period is less than the Base Prepayment, the amount of the over payment will be deducted from any future payments of interest by the Company until there is no difference between the Base Prepayment and such actual amount. To the extent that the over payment has not been fully deducted at the end of the First Interest Period, any conversions of the First Tranche Convertible Debentures by Yorkville will be adjusted accordingly. |
Interest Payments |
Interest is to be paid in cash, Shares or a combination of both cash and Shares. |
