09 OPTHEA Notes (continued) Technical issues Technical difficulties may arise during the course of the virtual meeting. The Chair has discretion as to whether and how the meeting should proceed in the event that a technical difficulty arises. In exercising this discretion, the Chair will have regard to the number of Shareholders impacted and the extent to which participation in the business of the meeting is affected. Where the Chair considers it appropriate, the Chair may continue to hold the meeting and transact business, including conducting a poll and voting in accordance with valid proxy instructions. For this reason, Shareholders are encouraged to appoint a proxy and submit a directed proxy vote, even if they plan to attend the meeting online. Similarly, if a Shareholder is unable to participate in the virtual meeting, or will not have access to a device or the internet, they are encouraged to appoint a proxy and submit a directed proxy vote. See page 10 for further details. How to vote SHAREHOLDERS CAN VOTE AT THE MEETING (a) through the online platform; or (b) by appointing a proxy (see below). VOTING ENTITLEMENTS Opthea has determined that for the purposes of voting at the meeting or at any adjourned meeting, Shares will be taken to be held by those persons recorded on the register of members at the Voting Entitlement Time (as specified below). VOTING ENTITLEMENT TIME In accordance with Regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth), all securities of the Company that are quoted on ASX at 9:00am (Melbourne time) on Sunday, November 9, 2025 (the Voting Entitlement Time), are taken, for the purposes of the above meeting, to be held by the persons who held them at that time. Only those persons will be entitled to vote at the meeting on Tuesday, November 11, 2025. ALL RESOLUTIONS WILL BE BY POLL Each resolution considered at the meeting will be conducted by a poll, rather than on a show of hands. JOINT HOLDERS When joint holders are named in the register of members only one joint holder may vote. If more than one of the joint holders is present at the meeting, only the person whose name appears first in the register of members will be entitled to vote. If more than one holder votes at the meeting, only the vote of the first named of the joint holders in the register of members will be counted. VOTING IN PERSON OR BY ATTORNEY Shareholders or their attorneys wishing to vote in person should attend the meeting and can vote through the online platform. VOTING BY CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVE Corporate Shareholders or proxies wishing to vote by corporate representative should: (a) obtain an appointment of corporate representative form from Computershare; (b) complete and send the form in accordance with the instructions on the form.

2025 Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Notes 10 Proxies 1. A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the meeting has a right to appoint not more than two proxies to attend and vote in the Shareholder's place. 2. The proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company. A proxy may be an individual or a body corporate. 3. A Shareholder who is entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint up to two proxies to attend and vote at the meeting and, in the case of such an appointment, should specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If no such proportion or number is specified, each proxy may exercise half of the votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded. 4. Where a Shareholder appoints two proxies, on a poll each proxy may only exercise votes in respect of those Shares or voting rights the proxy represents. 5. A proxy may decide whether to vote on an item of business, except where the proxy is required by law or the constitution to vote, or abstain from voting, in his or her capacity as proxy. If a proxy is directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may only vote on the item as directed. If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may vote as he or she thinks fit. 6. If the abstention box on the proxy form for any item of business is marked, the proxy will be directed not to vote on a poll and the relevant Shares will not be counted in calculating the required majority on a poll. 7. Shareholders who intend to appoint the Company's Chair as proxy (including an appointment by default) should have regard to the information above under the heading 'Appointing the Chair as your proxy'. 8. The proxy form included in the Notice must be signed by the Shareholder or the Shareholder's attorney and, in the case of a joint holding, by each of the joint holders. 9. If the proxy form is signed by the Shareholder but does not name the proxy or proxies in whose favour it is given, or the proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chair may either act as proxy or complete the proxy form by inserting the name of a Director or the Company Secretary of Opthea. 10. The appointment of one or more duly appointed proxies will not preclude a Shareholder from attending this meeting and voting personally. If the member votes on a Resolution, the proxy must not vote as the member's proxy on that Resolution. 11. To be valid, a proxy form signed under a power of attorney or other authority (if any) must be accompanied by the signed power of attorney, or a certified copy of the power of attorney. 12. Proxies given by a corporation must be signed either under seal or under the hand of a duly authorised attorney. In addition, should the constitution of a corporation permit the execution of documents without using a common seal, the documents must be signed by two directors or a director and a company secretary, or for a proprietary company that has a sole director who is also a company secretary, that sole director. 13. If a body corporate is appointed as proxy, please write the full name of that body corporate (e.g. Company X Pty Ltd). Do not use abbreviations. The body corporate will need to ensure that it: (a) appoints an individual as its corporate representative to exercise its powers at meetings, in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act; and (b) provides satisfactory evidence of the appointment of its corporate representative prior to commencement of the meeting. If no such evidence is received before the meeting, then the body corporate (through its representative) will not be permitted to act as your proxy

The remuneration report is set out on pages 19 to 37 of the 2025 Annual Report which is available at: https://ir.opthea.com/annual-half-year-reports/ and which has been sent to those Shareholders who have requested the annual report in hard copy form. Please note that the Corporations Act provides that the vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions about, or make comments on, the remuneration report at the meeting. The Company will take the outcome of the vote on Resolution 3 into consideration and the comments made by Shareholders at the meeting when reviewing the Company's remuneration practices and policies. In accordance with the Corporations Act, if twenty-five per cent (25%) or more of the eligible votes cast are voted against the adoption of the Company's remuneration report at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution that another meeting of Shareholders be held within 90 days at which all of the Company's Directors (other than a Director not subject to re-election pursuant to the ASX Listing Rules) who were in office at the date of issue of the relevant second consecutive remuneration report must be put up for re-election. RECOMMENDATION Noting that each Director has a personal interest in his/her own remuneration from the Company, the Directors recommend that all Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3, approving the adoption of the Company's 2025 remuneration report. Resolution 4 ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO MR. LAWRENCE GOZLAN UNDER THE NED PLAN BACKGROUND The Board approved, subject to receipt of necessary Shareholder approval, and for the reasons set out further in this section, to grant Mr. Gozlan 41,000,000 options under the NED Plan subject to certain vesting conditions and exercise conditions.

15 OPTHEA Explanatory Notes (continued) ASX LISTING RULE 10.14 ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an entity must not permit a Director of the Company to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of its Shareholders. Accordingly, Resolution 4 is being put to Shareholders for the purpose of approving the acquisition of options over Shares, pursuant to the NED Plan, to Mr. Gozlan. If Resolution 4: • is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the grant of the options (and on the terms) described in the Notice and explanatory notes and Mr. Gozlan will receive the options; • is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the grant of the options described in the Notice and explanatory notes and Mr. Gozlan will not receive the options. The options approved by Shareholders will be issued no later than three years after the date of the meeting. REQUIREMENTS OF ASX LISTING RULE 10.15 In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4: (a) the name of the person: Mr. Gozlan and/or his nominee(s); (b) which category in rules 10.14.1 – 10.14.3 the person falls within and why: Mr. Gozlan falls under category 10.14.1 – a director; (c) the number and class of securities proposed to be issued: the maximum number of options that can be acquired by Mr. Gozlan under this approval is 41,000,000 options; (d) current total remuneration package: Board fee of AUD$100,000 per annum (excl. superannuation); Committee fees totalling AUD$56,750 per annum (excl. superannuation) (including Chair of Nominations and Governance and Audit and Risk Committee fees); 30% retention fee of AUD$47,025 per annum (excl. superannuation); (e) number of securities that have previously been issued under the scheme: 6,500,000 options and 500,000 performance rights have previously been issued to Mr. Gozlan under the NED Plan (of which 5,000,000 securities remain outstanding and on issue). There was no acquisition price for such securities; (f) if the securities are not fully paid ordinary securities: (i) a summary of the material terms of the securities: the terms of the options are set out in these explanatory notes and the NED Plan – see Annexure A; (ii) an explanation of why options are being used: under his remuneration package, Mr. Gozlan is eligible to participate in the NED Plan. The use of options in the NED Plan is to align director remuneration with the creation of Shareholder value as the value of the options granted to Mr. Gozlan (and therefore the potential issuance of Shares to Mr. Gozlan) is linked to the performance of Opthea. In addition, in order for Opthea to attract and retain quality directors, and given the high priority being placed by the Company on the retention of existing cash to fund the Company's operations, the issuance of options forms part of a desirable remuneration package; (iii) the value Opthea attributes to that security and its basis: under the terms of the NED Plan, no consideration is payable on the grant and, if they vest, the exercise price for each option is payable on exercise of each option. Options granted under the NED Plan are accounted for at the fair value at grant date in accordance with the relevant accounting standard AASB 2: Share-based payment. The fair value takes into account the underlying Share price, risk free interest rate, volatility of the underlying Share price and expected dividends. The fair value of the options are expensed in Opthea's Income Statement over the applicable vesting period;

2025 Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Notes 16 (g) date of issue of securities: the options under the NED Plan will be issued to Mr. Gozlan as soon as practicable after the date of the annual general meeting (with the grant date being the date of the annual general meeting); (h) price at which the entity will issue the securities: no monetary consideration will be payable by Mr. Gozlan for the issue of the options granted under the NED Plan; (i) summary of the material terms of the NED Plan: see Annexure A; (j) loans: the Company will not grant any loans in connection with the acquisition of options under the NED Plan. Details of any options issued under the NED Plan will be published in each annual report of the Company relating to the period in which the options are issued, and it will be noted that approval for the issue of the options was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. If any additional persons become entitled to participate in the NED Plan after this Resolution is approved and who were not named in the Notice, such persons will not participate until approval is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. TERMINATION BENEFIT Sections 200B and 200E of the Corporations Act prohibit the Company from giving a benefit to a person who holds (or has held in the previous three years) a managerial or executive office with the Company or its subsidiaries, if that benefit is given in connection with that person's retirement from office and is in excess of that person's average annual base salary over the relevant period, unless the benefit is approved by Shareholders. In accordance with the terms of the NED Plan, the Board has discretion as to whether the options lapse in the circumstance where an officer ceases to be an officer within the Opthea group for any reason. Shareholder approval is therefore sought under sections 200B and 200E of the Corporations Act to allow for the Board to exercise its discretion to allow vesting of the options in the event of cessation of the engagement of Mr. Gozlan (which would otherwise be deemed, and treated as, a termination benefit). The value of any benefit which may be given to Mr. Gozlan resulting from a determination by the Board that options held by him will not lapse upon cessation of office cannot presently be ascertained. However, matters, events and circumstances that will, or are likely to, affect the calculation of that value are: (a) the number of options held by Mr. Gozlan prior to cessation of his engagement and which would have otherwise lapsed; (b) the date when, and circumstances in which, Mr. Gozlan ceases to hold office; and (c) the market price of the Company's Shares on ASX on the date the Board determines not to allow the relevant options to lapse. RECOMMENDATION Mr. Gozlan declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 4 so as to avoid any perceived conflict of interest in making a recommendation on the approval of options by non-executive Directors pursuant to the NED Plan. The Board (Mr. Gozlan abstaining) unanimously recommends that all Shareholders entitled to vote, vote in favour of Resolution 4

2025 Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Notes 70 9.6 CALCULATION OF AMOUNT PAYABLE FOR ANY CASH-SETTLED PLAN SECURITIES For the purposes of Rule 9.5(a), and subject to the Offer Document for the Cash-Settled Plan Securities, the cash equivalent amount in respect of any Cash-Settled Plan Securities will be calculated by: (a) in the case of Equity Shares, multiplying the number of Equity Shares that would (but for payment in accordance with Rule 9.5) be Allocated to the Participant in respect of those Cash-Settled Plan Securities by: (i) if the Equity Shares are quoted on ASX or another securities exchange at the time, the volume weighted average price of Equity Shares traded on ASX (or on the securities exchange or exchanges determined by the Board) over the five trading days preceding, where the Cash-Settled Plan Securities are Options, the date of exercise of the Options or, where the Cash-Settled Plan Securities are Rights, the date on which the Rights became Vested Rights (Equity Share Valuation Time); or (ii) if Equity Shares are not quoted on ASX at the time, an amount reasonably determined by the Board to be equivalent to the value of an Equity Share at the Equity Share Valuation Time; (b) in the case of ADSs, multiplying the number of ADSs that would (but for payment in accordance with Rule 9.5) be Allocated to the Participant in respect of those Cash-Settled Plan Securities by: (i) if ADSs are quoted on Nasdaq or another securities exchange at the time, the volume weighted average price of ADSs traded on Nasdaq (or on the securities exchange or exchanges determined by the Board) over the five trading days preceding, where the Cash-Settled Plan Securities are Options, the date of exercise of the Options or, where the Cash-Settled Plan Securities are Rights, the date on which the Rights became Vested Rights (ADS Valuation Time); or (ii) if ADSs are not quoted on Nasdaq at the time, an amount reasonably determined by the Board to be equivalent to the value of an ADS at the ADS Valuation Time; and, in each case, where the Cash-Settled Plan Securities are Options, reducing the resulting amount by the aggregate Exercise Price (if any) for the number of Vested Options in respect of which the cash equivalent amount is to be paid. If the resulting number is a fractional number, it will be rounded down to the next lower whole cent. 9.7 TAX WITHHOLDING AND SUPERANNUATION CONTRIBUTIONS (a) The Company will deduct or withhold, or cause to be deducted or withheld, from any amount paid or payable to a Participant in respect of any Cash-Settled Plan Securities any Tax and other amounts required by law to be deducted or withheld from the payment. (b) Any amount payable to or for the benefit of a Participant in respect of any Cash-Settled Plan Securities in accordance with the relevant determination of the Board under Rule 9.5 will be payable such that the total of: (i) the amount payable to the Participant (before any applicable deduction or withholding for Tax or other amounts under 9.7(a) above); plus (ii) the amount of any contribution that any Group Company makes, will make or is required or has agreed to make, to an Australian superannuation fund for the benefit of the Participant that is or will be attributable or referable to any amount paid or payable to the Participant in accordance with the Board's determination under Rule 9.5, is equal to the cash equivalent amount in respect of those Cash-Settled Plan Securities determined in accordance with Rule 9.5 (and, if applicable, Rule 9.6). (c) For the purposes of Rule 9.7(b) (and without limitation), a Group Company will be taken to be required to make a contribution if it is required to make the contribution in order to ensure that it will have no liability or potential liability to pay any superannuation guarantee charge (as defined in the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992 (Cth)) in respect of the amount paid or payable to the relevant Participant in respect of the relevant Cash-Settled Plan Securities.

(b) If the Board determines that the Vesting Conditions (if any) applicable to all or a specified number or percentage of the Plan Securities held by a Participant are not capable of being satisfied in accordance with their terms and should therefore lapse, all or the relevant number or percentage (as the context requires) of those Plan Securities will lapse with effect from the date on which the Board makes this determination (or, if the Board specifies a later lapse date when making this determination, on that later date). 10.2 LAPSE OF PLAN SECURITIES ON CESSATION OF EMPLOYMENT IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES (a) Subject to the terms specified in the Offer Document for the relevant Plan Securities and unless otherwise determined by the Board (at any time and whether before or after cessation of employment), all Unvested Plan Securities held by a Participant will lapse: (i) if the Participant ceases to be employed within the Group due to his or her Termination for Cause, with effect from the Cessation Date; (ii) if the Participant ceases to be employed within the Group due to his or her Resignation, with effect from the Cessation Date; or (iii) if the Participant ceases, or will cease, to be employed within the Group in any circumstances not covered by paragraphs (i) or (ii) above and the Board determines that, in those particular circumstances, all of the Participant's Unvested Plan Securities should lapse (for example, because the circumstances involve the Participant's poor or inadequate performance), with effect from the Cessation Date or any earlier or later lapse date determined by the Board. (b) Unless otherwise determined by the Board, if: (i) a Participant ceases to be employed within the Group for any reason or in any circumstances; (ii) the Participant holds Unvested Plan Securities that have not lapsed under Rule 10.2(a)(i) or (ii) and the Board has not determined that all of those Unvested Plan Securities should lapse under Rule 10.2(a)(iii); and (iii) the Offer Document for those Unvested Plan Securities specified that this Rule 10.2(b) applies or the Board otherwise determines that this Rule 10.2(b) applies, then a proportion of the Participant's Unvested Plan Securities will lapse with effect from the Cessation Date, being the proportion determined in accordance with Rule 10.2(c) (and rounded to the next higher whole number).
