ALICE QUEEN LIMITED – RIGHTS ISSUE

Alice Queen Limited (ASX:AQX) ( AQX or the Company ) announced to ASX on 26 September 2018 a nonrenounceable pro rata offer to acquire 1 new fully paid ordinary share in AQX for every 4 shares held as at 7:00pm on 3 October 2018 ( Record Date ) at an offer price of $0.015 (1.5 cents) per share (total 129,419,902 shares) ( Rights Issue ) to raise approximately $2 million (before costs of the Rights Issue).

The Rights Issue offer is only made to and capable of acceptance by shareholders as recorded on the share registry records on the Record Date who have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand.

Shares not taken up by eligible shareholders will form the shortfall ( Shortfall Shares ). Eligible shareholders who take up their entitlement in full will also be able to apply for Shortfall Shares.

The Company will use the proceeds of the Rights Issue as set out in the prospectus released to ASX.

Further details of the Rights Issue are set out in the prospectus and Appendix 3B lodged with ASX. The prospectus will also be available on the AQX website at www.alicequeen.com.au.

The ASX Listing Rules require AQX to notify you of your right to participate in the Rights Issue and of the Record Date.

Your options do not entitle you to participate in the Rights Issue. You are entitled to participate in the Rights Issue in respect of your options only if you exercise your options (in accordance with terms of such options) and are entered into the Company’s share register as a shareholder with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand on or before the Record Date.

The purpose of this letter is to give you notice prior to the Record Date that, subject to you having a registered address in Australia or New Zealand, you may exercise your options should you wish to participate in the Rights Issue.

If you exercise your options and are entered in the Company’s share register as a shareholder on or before the Record Date, and have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand, you will be sent a copy of the prospectus and an entitlement and acceptance form in respect of the Rights Issue.
