    The purpose of the Offer and the intended use of funds raised are set out in section

    5.1 of this Prospectus.


    1. What Eligible Shareholders may do


      The number of Shares to which Eligible Shareholders are entitled is shown on the accompanying personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Eligible Shareholders may:


    2. take up all of their Entitlement (refer to section 4.3);


    3. sell all of their Entitlement on ASX (refer to section 4.4);


    4. take up a proportion of their Entitlement and sell the balance on ASX (refer to section 4.5);


    5. take up a proportion of their Entitlement and allow the balance to lapse (refer to section 4.6);


    6. sell all or a proportion of their Entitlement other than on ASX (refer to section 4.7); or


    7. allow all or part of their Entitlement lapse (refer to section 4.8).

    8. Taking up all of your Entitlement


      Should you wish to accept all of your Entitlement, then applications for Shares under this Prospectus must be made on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form which accompanies this Prospectus or by completing a BPAY® payment, in accordance with the instructions referred to in this Prospectus and on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Please read the instructions carefully.


      Please complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form by filling in the details in the spaces provided and attach a cheque for the Application Monies indicated on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.


      Completed Entitlement and Acceptance Forms must be accompanied by a cheque, to be completed and provided to the Company as set out in section

      4.11. If you wish to pay via BPAY® you must follow the instructions in section 4.12. The Company shall not be responsible for any postal or delivery delays or delay in the receipt of the BPAY® payment.


    9. Selling all your Entitlement on ASX


      The Entitlements under the Offer are renounceable, which means that all or part of an Eligible Shareholder's rights to subscribe for Shares under the Offer may be traded on ASX. If you wish to sell all of your Entitlement on ASX, provide instructions to your stockbroker regarding the Entitlement you wish to sell on ASX. Trading of Entitlements will commence on ASX on 23 October 2015 and will cease on 2 November 2015.


      There is no guarantee that an Eligible Shareholder will be able to sell all or any part of their Entitlement on ASX or that any particular price will be paid for the Entitlements sold on ASX.


    10. Taking up a proportion of your Entitlement and selling the balance on ASX


      If you wish to take up only part of your Entitlement, complete the accompanying personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form for the number of Shares you wish to take up and follow the steps in section 4.3 or make a payment by BPAY in accordance with section 4.12.


      Subsequently, provide instructions to your stockbroker regarding the proportion of your Entitlement you wish to sell on ASX as per section 4.4.


    11. Taking up a proportion of your Entitlement and allowing the balance to lapse


      If you wish to take up only part of your Entitlement and allow the balance to lapse, complete the accompanying personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form for the number of Shares you wish to take up and follow the steps in section 0. If you take no further action, the balance of your Entitlement will lapse and you will have forfeited any potential benefit to be gained from taking up or selling that part of your Entitlement.


    12. Selling all or a proportion of your Entitlement other than on ASX


      You may elect to transfer all or a proportion of your Entitlement to another person other than on ASX. If the purchaser of your Entitlement is an Ineligible Shareholder or a person that would be an Ineligible Shareholder if they were a registered holder of Shares, that purchaser will not be able to take up the Entitlement they have purchased.

      If you are a Shareholder on the issuer sponsored subregister and you wish to transfer all or a proportion of your Entitlement to another person other than on ASX, forward a completed standard renunciation and transfer form (obtainable from the Company's share registry) and the applicable transferee's cheque for the Shares they wish to subscribe for payable to 'Tamaska Oil & Gas Ltd - Entitlement Issue Account' and crossed 'Not Negotiable' to the Company's share registry (by post at any time after the issue of this Prospectus and to be received on or before the Closing Date) at the following address:


      By Post Automic Registry Services PO Box 223

      West Perth WA 6872


      If you wish to transfer all or a proportion of your Entitlement to or from another person on the CHESS subregister, you must engage your CHESS controlling participant (usually your stockbroker). If the transferee wants to exercise some or all of the Entitlement, you should follow your stockbroker's instructions as to the most appropriate way to take up the Entitlement on their behalf. The Application Monies for Shares that the transferee of the Entitlement wants to acquire must be received by Company's share registry in accordance with section 4.3.


    13. Allow all or part of your Entitlement to lapse


      Shareholders should be aware that their Entitlement may have value. Entitlements are renounceable, which enables Eligible Shareholders who do not wish to take up part or all of their Entitlement to seek to sell or trade all or some of their Entitlement on ASX.


      If you do not wish to accept or trade any part of your Entitlement, you are not obliged to do anything. If you do not take up your Entitlement or dispose of your Entitlement by the Closing Date, the Offer to you will lapse.


    14. Implications of an acceptance


      Returning a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form or paying any Application Monies by BPAY® will be taken to constitute a representation by you that:


    15. you have received a copy of this Prospectus and the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form, and read them both in their entirety;


    16. you acknowledge that once the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is returned, or a BPAY® payment instruction is given in relation to any Application Monies, the application may not be varied or withdrawn except as required by law.


    17. Minimum subscription


      There is no minimum subscription.


    18. Payment by cheque/bank draft


      All cheques must be drawn on an Australian bank or bank draft made payable in Australian currency to 'Tamaska Oil and Gas Ltd - Entitlement Issue Account' and crossed 'Not Negotiable'.

      Your completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form and cheque must be lodged and received at any time after the issue of this Prospectus, but no later than 5:00 pm WST on the Closing Date, at the Company's share registry (by post):


      By Post Automic Registry Services PO Box 223

      West Perth WA 6872


      The Company shall not be responsible for any postal or delivery delays.


    19. Payment by BPAY®


      For payment by BPAY®, please follow the personalised instructions in your Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You can only make a payment via BPAY® if you are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY® transactions. Please note that should you choose to pay by BPAY®:


    20. you do not need to submit the Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form; and


    21. if you do not pay for your Entitlement in full, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of Shares which is covered in full by your application monies.


      Make sure that you use the specific Biller Code and unique Customer Reference Number (CRN) on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You do not need to return a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form and the representations outlined in section 4.9. If you have more than one shareholding of Shares and consequently receive more than one Entitlement and Acceptance Form, when taking up your Entitlement in respect of one of those Shareholdings, only use the CRN specific to that Shareholding as set out in the applicable Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Do not use the same CRN for more than one of your Shareholdings. This can result in your Application Monies being applied to your Entitlement in respect of only one of your Shareholdings (with the result that any application in respect of your remaining Shareholdings will not be valid).


      It is your responsibility to ensure that your BPAY® payment is received by the share registry by no later than 5:00 pm (WST) on the Closing Date. You should be aware that your financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regards to electronic payment and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. Any application monies received for more than your final allocation of Shares (only where the amount is $1.00 or greater) will be refunded. No interest will be paid on any application monies received or refunded.

    Notes:

    1. The dilutionary effect shown in the table is the maximum percentage on the assumption that those Entitlements not accepted by Eligible Shareholders are placed under the Shortfall Offer. In the event all Entitlements are not accepted and some or all of the resulting Shortfall was not subsequently placed, the dilution effect for each Shareholder not accepting their Entitlement would be a lesser percentage.
