Letter from the Chairman (SPP)
Dear Shareholder,
On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to offer you the opportunity to participate in Archer Materials Limited’s (“Archer”, “Company”) share purchase plan (“SPP”) which was announced on 5 November 2019. The SPP allows eligible Archer shareholders with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand to subscribe for up to $30,000 worth of new, fully paid ordinary shares in Archer (“New Shares”) without incurring brokerage or other transaction costs.
The SPP is targeting to raise $3,000,000 and if total demand for the SPP exceeds $3,000,000, then the Archer board reserves the right to close the SPP early and scale back applications or elect to increase the amount raised under the SPP. The proceeds raised from the SPP will provide Archer with the funding required to advance the Company’s Advanced Materials Business, in particular the development of the room temperature quantum computer chip, as well as exploration of the Company’s tenements.
The right to participate in the SPP offer (“Offer”) is available exclusively to shareholders who are registered as holders of Archer shares at 7:00 pm (AEDT) on 4 November 2019 and whose registered address is in Australia or New Zealand (“Eligible Shareholders”).
The SPP provides you with the opportunity to increase your holding of Archer shares. You may apply for New Shares in a parcel with a dollar value of $2,500, $5,000, $10,000, $15,000, $20,000, $25,000 or $30,000. New Shares will be issued under the SPP at a price of $0.13 (13 cents) each which represents a discount of:
-
10.3% to the closing price of Archer shares on 4 November 2019, which was the last trading day prior to the date of the announcement of the SPP; and
-
4.5% to the volume weighted average price of Archer shares over the five trading days prior to the date of the announcement of the SPP on 5 November 2019.
Tax Credits
The Company has been notified by the Australian Taxation Office that it is an eligible entity for the purposes of the Junior Mineral Exploration Incentive scheme (“JMEI”) for the financial year ended 30 June 2020 and it may allocate up to $300,000 in exploration tax credits to Eligible Shareholders.
The Company anticipates that it will be able to make a JMEI distribution of up to a maximum of 30% (being the Company’s corporate tax rate) per New Share issued under the SPP. The precise JMEI distribution per New Share will be determined after 30 June 2020 and will be impacted by a number of factors, including the amount raised under the SPP and any other new shares issued by the Company during the period 1 July 2019 to 20 June 2020.
Participation in the SPP is entirely voluntary. If you do not wish to participate in the SPP, then you do not need to take any action.
Details of the SPP are set out in the Terms and Conditions and the personalised application form enclosed with this letter. The Board urges you to read the Terms and Conditions and personalised application form carefully and in their entirety before deciding whether or not to participate in the SPP.
If you are uncertain whether New Shares are a suitable investment for you, then you should consult your financial or other professional adviser.
On behalf of the Board, I invite you to consider this opportunity to increase your investment in the Company.
Yours faithfully

| How much will Archer raise under the SPP? |
The SPP is targeting to raise $3,000,000.

No. Your rights under the SPP are personal to you and non-renounceable, so you may not transfer them. |
| Do I have to participate in the SPP? |
Participation in the SPP is optional. If you choose to do nothing, then you will not participate in the SPP. Before you apply for New Shares under the SPP, the Company recommends that you seek independent financial advice from your stockbroker, accountant or other professional adviser, and you monitor the price of the Shares. |
| How many Shares can I apply for under the SPP? |
If you are an Eligible Shareholder, you are entitled to contribute a set amount of $2,500, $5,000, $10,000, $15,000, $20,000, $25,000 or $30,000, in applying for new Shares, regardless of the number of Shares you currently hold.

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How do I apply for New Shares? |
To apply for New Shares under the SPP you can either: Option 1: Pay by BPay® Make payment by BPay® as shown on the personalised Application Form sent to you. New Zealand based Eligible Shareholders cannot apply using BPay® unless they have an Australian bank account. Option 2: Pay by cheque or money order Complete and return the enclosed personalised Application Form together with a cheque or money order made payable to "Archer Materials Limited" as shown on the Application Form. |
| How many New Shares will I receive? |
In the absence of any scale back or a rejection of your Application, the number of New Shares that you will receive will be the number of New Shares for which you applied. If Archer, in its discretion, undertakes a scale back of Applications for New Shares, then you may receive less than the parcel of New Shares for which you have applied. Excess funds will be returned to applicants without interest. |
| When will I receive my New Shares? |
New Shares are expected to be allotted on Tuesday, 3 December 2019 (being the Allotment Date). |
| Important Information |
You should be aware that although the offer price of $0.13 (13 cents) per New Share is at a discount to the market price of Archer Shares on ASX as at the date the Plan was announced: • shares are a speculative investment; • there is a risk that the price of Shares on ASX may change between the date of this document and the date of issue of the New Shares under the SPP; and • the value of the New Shares received under the Plan may rise or fall accordingly. The Board recommends that you obtain your own financial advice in relation to the Offer under the SPP and consider price movements of Shares in the Company prior to making an Application under this SPP. |
2. Purpose
The Share Purchase Plan offers Eligible Shareholders of Archer Materials Limited the opportunity to subscribe for new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company, up to a maximum value of $30,000 (subject to any discretionary scale backs).
New Shares under the Plan will be issued at $0.13 (13 cents) each representing a 4.5% discount to the volume weighted average market price (as defined in the Listing Rules) of Shares calculated over the last 5 days on which sales in the Shares were recorded on the ASX prior to the date of announcement of the Plan. The SPP issue price of $0.13 (13 cents) per New Share is less than the highest market price of $0.16 (16 cents) per Share in the 30 day period prior to announcement of the Plan.
The SPP is targeting to raise $3,000,000. If the Company receives Applications for an amount more than $3,000,000, then the Company may elect to either scale back Applications or increase the amount to be raised under the SPP. In the event of a scale back, you will be allocated less than the number of New Shares that you applied for.
The SPP allows Eligible Shareholders to increase their investment in the Company without the need to pay brokerage and commission costs.
Participation in the Plan is optional and is subject to these Terms and Conditions. Offers made under the Plan are nonrenounceable (i.e. Eligible Shareholders cannot transfer their rights to any New Shares offered under the Plan).

4. Shareholders eligible to participate in the Plan
Holders of Shares that were registered on the Company share register as a holder of Shares at 7:00pm (AEDT) on 4 November 2019 ( Record Date ) with an address in Australia or New Zealand are deemed eligible shareholders ( Eligible Shareholders ) and may participate in the Plan.
If you hold Shares on behalf of persons who reside outside Australia or New Zealand, or are in the United States, then you are not an Eligible Shareholder and are not entitled to participate in the Plan.
Details of how Custodians, trustees and beneficiaries are treated under the Plan are provided further below.
5. Joint holders/joint beneficiaries
If two or more persons are registered on the Company share register as jointly holding Shares, then they are taken to be a single registered holder of Shares and a certification given by any of them is taken to be a certification given by all of them. If the same joint holders receive more than one offer under the Plan due to multiple identical holdings, then the joint holders may only apply in aggregate up to the maximum amount of $30,000.
6. Foreign offer restrictions
The Plan may not be released or distributed in any country other than Australia or New Zealand. The Plan does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, securities in any other country, other than Australia or New Zealand. In particular, any securities described in this document have not been, and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act of 1933 (as amended) and may not be offered or sold in the United States except in transactions exempt from, or not subject to, registration under the US Securities Act and applicable US state securities laws.
7. New Zealand
The New Shares offered under the Plan are not being offered or sold to the public within New Zealand other than to existing Shareholders of the Company with registered addresses in New Zealand and to whom the Offer is being made in reliance on the Financial Markets Conduct (Incidental Offers) Exemption Notice 2016.
This document has not been registered, filed with or approved by any New Zealand regulatory authority under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (New Zealand). This document is not an investment statement or prospectus under New Zealand law and is not required to, and may not, contain all the information that an investment statement or prospectus under New Zealand law is required to contain.
8. How much can you invest?
Eligible Shareholders may apply for a maximum of $30,000 and a minimum of $2,500 worth of New Shares under the SPP. This limitation applies even if you receive more than one Application Form, or if you hold Shares in more than one capacity.
It is your responsibility to ensure that the aggregate of the price paid for the New Shares the subject of your Application and any other shares and interests in the class applied for by you under the Plan does not exceed $30,000.
Archer Materials Limited – SPP November 2019

Subject to the above, Eligible Shareholders may participate in the SPP by selecting one of the following offers to purchase New Shares under the Plan.
| Subscription amount | Number of New Shares to be issued at issue price of $0.13 (13 cents) per New Share |
|---|---|
| $2,500 | 19,231 |
| $5,000 | 38,462 |
| $10,000 | 76,924 |
| $15,000 | 115,385 |
| $20,000 | 153,847 |
| $25,000 | 192,308 |
| $30,000 | 230,770 |
- Note: Eligible Shareholders are encouraged to submit their Applications early as the Directors reserve the right to close the SPP early if oversubscribed.
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).
If you apply for New Shares under the Plan, you are applying for a certain value of New Shares at the issue price of $0.13 (13 cents), rather than a certain number of Shares. Fractional Shares will not be issued and any fraction of a Share will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of Shares.
9. New Share issue price
New Shares will be issued at $0.13 (13 cents) each which is a:
-
10.3% discount to Archer’s last closing price on 4 November 2019, which was the last trading day prior to the date of the announcement of the SPP; and
-
4.5% discount to Archer’s 5 day volume weighted average price for the last 5 days on which Archer Shares were traded prior to the date of the announcement of the SPP.
You should note that the Archer share price may rise or fall between the date of this Offer and the date when New Shares are allotted and issued to you under the SPP. This means that the price you pay per New Share under this Offer may be either higher or lower than the Archer share price at the time of the Offer or at the time the New Shares are issued and allotted to you under the SPP.
The Board recommends that you obtain your own financial advice in relation to the Offer under the SPP and consider price movements of Shares in the Company prior to making an Application under this SPP.
10. Application Forms
Applications for New Shares under the SPP can only be made using the personalised Application Form sent to all Eligible Shareholders or in the case of applying by BPay® using the customer reference number shown on the Application Form.
Eligible Shareholders may also access and securely download their personalised Application Form from Computershare’s Investor Centre website at www.investorcentre.com/au by logging in as an Existing User or clicking on ‘Access a Single Holding’ and following the instructions.
The Application Form forms part of the Terms and Conditions for the purposes of the Plan and the Offer.
Archer Materials Limited – SPP November 2019

11. How do you apply?
If you would like to subscribe for New Shares, then the following application and payment options are available:
(a) Payment by BPay®[1]
Eligible Shareholders wishing to pay by BPay® must use the specific biller code and customer reference numbers detailed on their personalised Application Form.
If you choose to pay via BPay® you are not required to submit your Application Form.
Any Eligible Shareholder that chooses to pay by BPay® is deemed to represent to the Company that the amount of Shares subscribed for pursuant to the Plan, or any other arrangement similar to the Plan in the prior 12 months, does not exceed $30,000 (including joint or any other beneficial interests).
Your payment will not be accepted after 5:00pm (AEDT) on the Closing Date and no New Shares will be issued to you in respect of that Application. If you have multiple holdings you will have multiple BPay® customer reference numbers. To ensure you receive your New Shares under the Offer in respect of that holding, you must use the specific biller code and the customer reference number shown on each personalised Application Form when paying for any New Shares that you wish to apply for in respect of that holding. If you inadvertently use the same Customer Reference Number for more than one of your Applications, you will be deemed to have applied only for the Application to which that Customer Reference Number applies and any excess amount will be refunded.
Applicants should be aware that their own financial institution may implement earlier cut off times with regards to electronic payment, and should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. You may also have your own limit on the amount that can be paid via BPay®. It is your responsibility to check that the amount you wish to pay via BPay® does not exceed your limit.
Once an Application under the Plan has been made or your BPay® payment made, it cannot be revoked.
(b) Application Form and accompanying cheque
Eligible Shareholders wishing to pay by cheque must follow the instructions on the Application Form.
Eligible Shareholders should complete the Application Form, provide a cheque that is payable to “ Archer Materials Limited – Share Purchase Plan ” and crossed “ Not Negotiable ” and return the completed Application Form and cheque to:
Archer Materials Limited
C/- Computershare Investor Services Pty Ltd
GPO Box 505
Melbourne Victoria 3001, Australia
to be received by the share registry no later than 5.00pm (AEDT) on the Closing Date.
12. Raising Amount and Scaleback
The Plan is targeting to raise $3,000,000, however the Company reserves absolute discretion regarding the final amount raised under the Plan. If total demand for the SPP exceeds $3,000,000, then the Company reserves the right to close the SPP early and scale back Applications or elect to increase the amount raised (subject to the maximum amount permitted under the ASX Listing Rules). When determining the amount (if any) by which to scale back an Application, the Company may take into account a number of factors, including the size of an applicant’s shareholding, the extent to which Eligible Shareholders have sold or bought additional Shares after the Record Date and the date an Application was made. Eligible Shareholders are therefore encouraged to submit their Applications early.
If there is a scale back, then you may not receive all the New Shares for which you have applied. If the Company rejects or scales-back an Application or purported Application, then the Company will promptly return to the Shareholder the
1 ® Registered to BPAY Pty Ltd, ABN 69 079 137 518
Archer Materials Limited – SPP November 2019
Page 5 of 11
relevant Application monies, without interest. If the amount received is less than the minimum Application amount of $2,500 then Archer will not issue any New Shares to you and the money received from you will be refunded without interest.
Archer reserves the right to reject any Application for New Shares under the SPP that it believes does not comply with these Terms and Conditions.
13. Archer’s discretions regarding Applications
Archer has a broad discretion to accept or reject your Application to purchase New Shares under the SPP, including if:
-
(a) your Application Form is incorrectly completed, incomplete or otherwise determined by Archer to be invalid;
-
(b) your cheque, bank draft or money order is dishonoured or has not been completed correctly;
-
(c) the cheque, bank draft or money order that you enclose with your Application Form is not made out for the exact amount as indicated on the Application Form;
-
(d) your BPay® payment is not received or is incomplete or invalid by the Closing Date;
-
(e) unless you are applying as a Custodian, it appears that you are applying to buy more than $30,000 (in aggregate) of Shares under the SPP;
-
(f) you are a Custodian, Archer is not satisfied with your certification for any reason, or if you have not provided certification in accordance with these Terms and Conditions;
-
(g) cleared funds are not received until after the Closing Date. While Archer has the discretion to accept late Application Forms, cheques, bank drafts, money orders or BPay® payments, there is no assurance that it will do so. Late Application Forms and cheques, bank drafts or money orders, if not processed, will be returned to you at your registered address. Late BPay® payments may be returned to you by cheque (or any other method as Archer determines) to your registered address;
-
(h) Archer has reason to believe that you are not an Eligible Shareholder (subject to compliance with any applicable ASIC or ASX requirements); or
-
(i) Archer is required to reject your Application under ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plan) Instrument 2019/547.
14. Issue and Quotation of New Shares
New Shares to be issued under the Plan will rank equally in all respects with all other Shares from the date of issue and will be issued as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date.
Shareholding statements or CHESS notification will be issued in respect of all New Shares issued under the Plan.
The Company will, promptly after the issue of New Shares under the Plan, make application for those New Shares to be listed for quotation on the official list of ASX. You should confirm your holding before trading in any New Shares you believe have been issued to you under the SPP.
15. Participation is optional
Participation in the SPP is entirely optional (subject to the eligibility criteria set out in these Terms and Conditions). If you do not wish to accept the offer under the SPP, then you do not need to take any action and the Offer will lapse on the Closing Date.
16. No Underwriting
The Plan is not underwritten.

17. Junior Mineral Exploration Incentive (JMEI)
This section is a guide on the JMEI regime and its application to investors. Investors should seek independent tax and legal advice on the regime and how the exploration credits may apply to them.
The JMEI entitles Australian resident investors in eligible minerals exploration companies to either a refundable tax offset or (where the investor is a corporate tax entity, other than a life insurance company) franking credits if the company in which the investors have invested issues them an exploration credit. In effect, an exploration credit represents a conversion of a tax loss from exploration or prospecting into a distributable tax benefit for investors.
On 3 July 2019, the Company announced to ASX that the Australian Taxation Office ( ATO ) confirmed that the Company has been allocated exploration credits of $300,000 under the JMEI in respect of the financial year ending 30 June 2020 (the 2020 year ).
The Company expects to be able to create exploration credits in the 2020 year. The exploration credits cannot exceed an amount based on the Company’s greenfields minerals expenditure, tax loss for the year or exploration credits allocation of $300,000. Any unused allocation of exploration credits from the 2020 year, may be carried over to the year ending 30 June 2021.
Investors may be eligible to receive exploration credits in respect of investments made in the Company between 1 July 2019 and 30 June 2020. The precise distribution per share will be determined after 30 June 2020 and will depend on a range of factors (including the participation in the Share Purchase Plan, the amount of qualifying greenfields exploration expenditure incurred in the 2020 year, and any other new Shares issued during the period 1 July 2019 and 30 June 2020).
The Company intends to issue exploration credits in respect of the 2020 year to eligible investors following completion of the Company’s tax return for the 2020 year.
18. Additional information to be provided by Custodians
If you are an Eligible Shareholder and hold Shares as a Custodian (as defined in ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plan) Instrument 2019/547 (refer below) ( Custodian ) or in any more specific ASIC relief granted to the Company in relation to the Plan, then 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 Application Form a certificate to the Company ( Custodian Certificate ) with the following information:
-
(a) that you held Shares on behalf of one or more other persons who are resident in Australia or New Zealand (each a Participating Beneficiary ) at the Record Date who have subsequently instructed you to apply for Shares under the Plan on their behalf;
-
(b) the number of Participating Beneficiaries and their names and addresses;
-
(c) the number of Shares that you hold on behalf of each Participating Beneficiary;
-
(d) the dollar amount of Shares that each Participating Beneficiary has instructed you, either directly or indirectly through another custodian, to apply for on their behalf;
-
(e) that the application price for New Shares applied under the Offer for each Participating Beneficiary for whom you act plus the application price for any other Shares issued to you as custodian for that Participating Beneficiary under any arrangement similar to the Plan in the prior 12 months does not exceed $30,000;
-
(f) that a copy of the written offer document was given to each beneficiary; and
-
(g) where you hold Shares on behalf of a beneficiary indirectly, through one or more interposed custodians, the name and address of each interposed custodian.
Custodians should request a Custodian Certificate when making an Application on behalf of Participating Beneficiaries.

Without limiting the above, the Company may issue to any person fewer New Shares than the person applied for under the Plan if the issue of the New Shares applied for would contravene any applicable law or the Listing Rules of ASX or ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plan) Instrument 2019/547.
22. ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plan) Instrument 2019/547 compliance
The SPP offer of New Shares is made in accordance with ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plan) Instrument 2019/547, which grants relief from the requirement to prepare a prospectus for the SPP offer of New Shares.
23. Dispute Resolution
The Company may, in any manner it thinks fit, settle any difficulties, anomalies or disputes which may arise in connection with or by reason of the operation of the Plan, whether generally or in relation to any participant, Application or New Shares. The decision of the Company in this respect will be conclusive and binding on all shareholders and other persons to whom that determination relates.
The Company reserves the right to waive strict compliance with any provision of these Terms and Conditions. The powers of the Company under these conditions may be exercised by the Directors or any delegate of the Directors.
