Dear Shareholder,
Invitation to Participate in Share Purchase Plan
On 2 November 2021, Australian Potash Limited (ACN: 149 390 394) (APC or the Company) announced that it had received binding commitments to undertake a placement of fully paid ordinary shares at a price of $0.08 per share, to raise $12 million (Placement). The Placement is being issued to institutional and sophisticated investors in two tranches; the first tranche utilising the Company's available placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and the second tranche subject to shareholder approval at the Company's annual general meeting scheduled for 15 December 2021 (AGM).
In order to provide all eligible shareholders with the ability to participate in this capital raising, the Company is pleased to provide details of its Share Purchase Plan (SPP) offer. Under the SPP, APC is giving each Eligible Shareholder (as defined below) the opportunity to purchase up to $30,000 worth of fully paid ordinary shares (New Shares), irrespective of the size of their shareholding, without incurring brokerage or transaction costs. Per ASX requirements, the issue of the New Shares under the SPP is subject to shareholder approval at the AGM.
The offer under the SPP (Offer) is intended to raise up to $2,000,000 (before expenses) on the terms and conditions (Terms and Conditions) enclosed with this letter. In the event of over-subscriptions, the Company will scale back applications to the limit, at the Board's discretion. The Offer is not underwritten. Eligible Shareholders are encouraged to read the Terms and Conditions before applying under the Offer.
Shareholders Eligible to Participate in the SPP
Participation under the SPP is optional and is available exclusively to shareholders who are registered as holders of Shares at 5.00pm AWST on 1 November 2021 and whose registered address is in Australia or New Zealand (Eligible Shareholders).
Share Purchase Plan
The SPP entitles Eligible Shareholders to purchase up to $30,000 worth of New Shares. The issue price of the New Shares will be $0.08 (Price), being the same price as shares issued under the Placement.
The volume weighted average price of Shares traded on the ASX during the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the announcement date of the Offer was $0.1262 (VWAP Price), and the Price under the Offer represents a discount of 36.6% to the VWAP Price.
The SPP is intended to raise up to $2,000,000, and the Company will undertake a scale-back in the case of over-subscriptions.
The ASX has granted the Company a waiver from ASX Listing Rule 10.11 to the extent necessary to permit the directors of the Company who qualify as Eligible Shareholders to participate in the SPP without shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 on the following conditions:
- shareholders approve the SPP; and
For personal use only
- directors and their associates are offered shares under the SPP on the same terms as other shareholders.
An outline of the SPP is set out in this letter and the enclosed Terms and Conditions. An application form for the SPP (Application Form) is included in this package.
Subscription and Application Procedure
Eligible Shareholders may participate by selecting only one of the following offers to purchase New Shares under the SPP:
Total amount payable | Number of New Shares | |
Offer A | $30,000 | 375,000 |
Offer B | $20,000 | 250,000 |
Offer C | $15,000 | 187,500 |
Offer D | $10,000 | 125,000 |
Offer E | $5,000 | 62,500 |
Offer F | $2,000 | 25,000 |
If you apply for New Shares under the Offer you are applying for a certain value of New Shares at the Price, rather than a certain number of New Shares.
If you would like to participate in the Offer, you can either:
- make an electronic funds transfer (EFT) payment from your cheque or savings account by using the unique Reference Number shown on your Application Form which is required to identify your holding. If you make your payment using EFT you do not need to return your Application Form. Payments must be received by the share registry no later than 5.00pm (AWST) on 13 December 2021 (Closing Date); or
- make a BPAY®1 payment from your cheque or savings account by using the Biller Code and Reference Number shown on your Application Form which is required to identify your holding. If you make your payment using BPAY® you do not need to return your Application Form. Payments must be received by the share registry by the Closing Date.
Further details relating to payment options are provided in the Terms and Conditions.
Once an application has been made it cannot be revoked. All valid applications shall be deemed accepted if received before the Closing Date. If the exact amount of money is not paid by EFT or BPAY®, the Company reserves the right to either:
- return your payment and not allot any New Shares to you; or
- allot to you the number of New Shares that would have been allotted had you applied for the highest designated amount that is less than the amount of your payment and refund the excess application money to you as soon as possible, without interest.

Any monies returned by the Company will be by cheque in Australian currency.
For personal use only
The maximum investment any Eligible Shareholder may apply for will remain $30,000 even if a shareholder receives more than one Offer (whether in respect of a joint holding or because the shareholder has more than one holding under a separate account).
Custodians and Nominees
Eligible Shareholders who hold Shares as custodian or nominee for one or more persons on the Record Date (Participating Beneficiary) may apply for up to a maximum amount of $30,000 worth of Shares in respect of each Participating Beneficiary who is resident in Australia or New Zealand, subject to providing a Custodian Certificate to the Company, as described in the Terms and Conditions enclosed with this letter.

Acceptance of Risk Factors
On the last trading day immediately prior to the announcement date of the Offer, the closing price of the shares traded on ASX was $0.115. The market price of shares in the Company may rise and fall between the date of the Offer or the date of acceptance of the Offer, and the date that any New Shares are issued to you.
By making an application under this Offer and applying for New Shares under the SPP, each Eligible Shareholder will be acknowledging that although the Price of $0.08 is at a discount to trading immediately prior to announcement, shares are a speculative investment and the price of shares on ASX may change between the date of APC announcing its intention to make an Offer and the date of issue of New Shares under that Offer and that the value of the New Shares received under the SPP may rise or fall accordingly.
The directors recommend that you obtain your own financial advice in relation to the Offer and consider price movements of shares in the Company prior to making an application under this Offer.
