Dear Shareholder,

INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE IN MAKO HYDROCARBONS LTD SHAREHOLDER SHARE PURCHASE PLAN

On 5 December 2012, Mako Hydrocarbons Ltd. (ACN 009 218 955) ("Company") announced ("Announcement") a Share Purchase Plan ("SPP") and, accordingly, the Company now invites Eligible Shareholders to participate in the SPP.

Eligibility to participate in SPP

The right to participate in the SPP is optional and is made exclusively to shareholders who were registered holders of Shares in the Company at 7pm (AEDT) on 4 December 2012 ("Record Date") and whose registered address is in Australia or New Zealand ("Eligible Shareholders").

Share Purchase Plan

Under the SPP, each Eligible Shareholder, irrespective of the size of their shareholding, is offered the opportunity to apply for new fully paid ordinary shares ("Shares") in the Company at A$0.11 per share ("SPP Price") up to a maximum value of A$15,000 ("Offer"). The SPP Price represents a 8.33% discount to the Company's average closing share price of A$0.12 over the 5 trading days prior to the date of the Announcement.

The maximum amount to be raised under the SPP is limited to approximately A$1,650,000 and based on the SPP Price equates a maximum issue of 15,000,000 million Shares. Net funds from the SPP will supplement the proceeds to be generated from the planned sale of the Provost asset to further develop the Company's understanding of its Duverney shale play, progressing discussions with potential partners for a 2013/2014 drilling program and to meet G&A expenses.

Applications

Eligible Shareholders may participate by selecting only one of the following options to purchase Shares under the SPP.

Offer A - 9,090 Shares

Total Subscription amount of $1,000 (minimum amount)

Offer B - 22,727 Shares

Total Subscription amount of $2,500

Offer C - 45,454 Shares

Total Subscription amount of $5,000

Offer D - 90,909 Shares

Total Subscription amount of $10,000

Offer E - 136,363 Shares

Total Subscription amount of $15,000 (maximum amount)

In calculating the number of Shares offered under the SPP, Mako has rounded up fractional entitlements to Shares to correspond with the monetary amount paid. If applications from Eligible Shareholders under the SPP exceed the maximum anticipated amount, the Company reserves the right (in its absolute discretion) to scale back applications on an equitable basis. If so, the Company will endeavour to promptly refund to Eligible Shareholders the relevant application monies, without interest.

Participation in the Offer is entirely at your discretion.

You are eligible to participate in the SPP only if you were a holder of fully paid ordinary shares in Mako ("Shares") at 7.00pm (AEDT time) on 4 December 2012 ("Record Date") with a registered address in either Australia or New Zealand.

10. Maximum Applications 10.1 The maximum amount which any eligible Shareholder may subscribe for under the SPP or similar arrangement in any consecutive 12 month period is A$15,000. This maximum applies irrespective of how many Shares you hold on the Record Date. By reference to the issue price in this SPP, an eligible Shareholder may apply for a maximum of Shares. 10.2 Except for certain eligible Shareholder as set out in sub-clause 10.2, this limit applies even if you receive more than one offer from Mako (for example, if you are both a sole and joint eligible Shareholder, or if you are a Shareholder with more than one holding under a separate account, you can only apply for SPP Shares once). To the extent that you hold Shares on behalf of another person, that other person is entitled to participate in the SPP only if their beneficial holding is expressly noted on the register of members. Mako reserves the right to reject any application for SPP Shares to the extent it considers that the application (whether alone or in conjunction with other applications) does not comply with these requirements.


The maximum amount to be raised under the SPP is to be limited to A$1,650,000. If applications from eligible Shareholders under the SPP exceed the maximum amount, Mako reserves the right to scale back applications on a pro rata basis.

10.3 If you are an eligible Shareholder and hold Mako Shares as a custodian (as defined in ASIC Class Order [CO 09/425] ("Custodian"), or in any more specific ASIC relief granted to the Company in relation to the SPP), you may apply for up to the maximum of new shares for each beneficiary for whom you act as custodian provided you annexe to your SPP Application Form a certificate to the Company ("Custodian Certificate") with the following information:

that you held shares in the Company on behalf of one or more persons (each a "Participating Beneficiary") at 5:00pm (WST) on the Record Date who have subsequently instructed you to apply for Shares under the SPP on their behalf;

the number of Participating Beneficiaries and their names and addresses;

the number of Shares that you hold on behalf of each Participating Beneficiary;

the dollar amount of the Shares that each Participating Beneficiary has instructed you, either directly or indirectly through another custodian, to apply for on their behalf;

that the application price for Shares applied for under the Offer for each Participating Beneficiary for whom you act plus the application price for any other Mako Shares issued to you as Custodian for that Participating Beneficiary under any arrangement similar to the SPP in the prior 12 months does not exceed A$15,000;

that a copy of the written offer document was given to each beneficiary; and

where you hold shares on behalf of a beneficially indirectly, through one or more interposed custodians, the name and address of each interposed custodian.

For the purposes of ASIC Class Order [CO 09/425] you are a 'custodian' if you are a registered holder that:

holds an Australian Financial Services Licence that allows you to perform custodian or depository services or operate IDPS accounts;

is exempt from holding an Australian Financial Services Licence by virtue of Class Order [CO 03/184] or by relying on the Australian Financial Services Licence of your master custodian under regulation 7.1.06(k) of the Corporations Regulations 2001;

is a trustee of a self-managed superannuation fund;

is a responsible entity of IDPS like schemes;

is noted on the Company's register of members as holding the shares on account of another person.

If you hold Mako Shares as a trustee or nominee for another person or persons, but not a custodian as defined above, you cannot participate for beneficiaries in the manner described above. In this case the rules for multiple single holdings (above) apply.

Custodians should request a Custodian Certificate when making application on behalf of Participating Beneficiaries. To request a Custodian Certificate you should contact the Company's registry on +61 8 9315 2333 at any time Monday to Friday during the Offer period.
The Company reserves the right to reject any application for Shares under the SPP to the extent it considers that the application (whether alone or in conjunction with other applications) does not comply with the above requirements. The Company reserves the right to reject any application in accordance with these Terms and Conditions

11. Participation Optional

Participation in the SPP is entirely at your option. If you are in any doubt as to whether you should participate in the SPP or how such participation will affect you (including taxation implications), you should contact a professional adviser. We make no recommendations as to the desirability or otherwise of your participation in the SPP.

12. Change of Offer

Mako may change, suspend or terminate the SPP or these Terms and Conditions at any time whether because of a change of law, ASIC requirements or policy or any other circumstance relevant to the SPP or Mako. If Mako does this, it will post a notice on Mako's website. Failure to notify Shareholders of changes to, suspension or termination of the SPP or these Terms and Conditions will not invalidate the change, suspension or termination. Mako reserves the right to issue no SPP Shares or fewer SPP Shares than an eligible Shareholder applies for under the SPP if Mako believes the issue of those SPP Shares would contravene ASIC requirements or policy, any law or any ASX Listing Rule. No interest will be paid on any money refunded. Mako's rights and powers under the Terms and Conditions including its right to change, suspend or terminate the SPP may be exercised by the Board or any delegate of the Board.

13. Placement of Shortfall

The Company has entered into an agreement with DJ Charmichael to place with sophisticated and experienced investors under section 708 of the Corporations Act 2001 any SPP Shares not taken up by eligible Shareholders up to the maximum anticipated amount of A$1,650,000.

14. Dispute Resolution

Mako may, in any manner it deems fit, settle any difficulties, anomalies or dispute which may arise in relation to the SPP or the terms and conditions of the SPP, whether generally or in relation to any Shareholder or participant, applications or Shares. Mako's decision will be conclusive and binding on all Shareholders and other parties to whom that determination relates.
Subject to compliance with the Corporations Act 2011, the Company reserves the right to waive strict compliance with any provision of these Terms and Conditions.
