Dear Artemis Shareholder
Share sale facility for holders of less than a marketable parcel of Artemis shares
Artemis Limited ( Artemis or the Company ) is pleased to offer eligible shareholders the opportunity to sell their small shareholding without incurring any brokerage or handling costs.
This offer applies to shareholders who at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on 7 November 2014 ( Record Date ) were holders of ordinary shares in Artemis valued at less than $500 ( less than a marketable parcel ) based on a price of $0.003 per share, being the closing price of shares on the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ) on the Record Date.
Artemis is offering this facility as it provides the following benefits:
Artemis shareholders of a less than a marketable parcel have the opportunity to sell their shares without incurring a brokerage or handling cost which, in proportion to the value of their holding, may otherwise render a sale unattractive or uneconomical; and
The expense and administration involved in maintaining shareholders with less than a marketable parcel, such as the cost of printing and mailing shareholder notices and share registry costs, is reduced. As at the date of this letter, the Company has 1,560 shareholders of which approximately 1,047 hold less than a marketable parcel of shares that in aggregate represent approximately 4.7% of Artemis’s issued share capital.
Based on a price of $0.003 per share, being the closing price of Artemis shares on the ASX on the Record Date, a holding of less than 166,667 shares represented less than a marketable parcel. Our records show that you hold less than a marketable parcel of shares as at the Record Date, and accordingly your shareholding is eligible for this facility. You may choose to sell your holding or retain your existing holding.
Pursuant to clause 149 of Artemis’s Constitution and the ASX Listing Rule 15.13, the Company may notify eligible shareholders that it intends to sell their holding unless they complete and return the enclosed Share Retention Form by 5.00 pm (Sydney time) on W e d n e s d a y 24 December 2014 ( Closing Date ). This letter and the Share Retention Form which accompanies this letter, satisfy the notice requirements under ASX Listing Rule 15.13 and clause 149.2 (2) of Artemis’s Constitution.
Your options
As a shareholder who holds a less than a marketable parcel of Artemis shares, your options are described below:
1. Sell your holding
If you wish to sell your Artemis shares without incurring brokerage or handling costs, you do not need to take any action. Artemis is authorised under clause 149 of its Constitution to sell your shares following the Closing Date if the value of your shares remains at less than $500 at the Closing Date (based on the closing price of Artemis shares on that day).

Your shares will be pooled with other shares under this facility and sold as soon as practicable after the Closing Date in the manner described below.
In the interests of providing shareholders who are eligible to participate in the facility with certainty as to the proceeds they will receive from the sale of their shares, the Directors have appointed Alignment Capital as broker and underwriter to the share sale facility, and have negotiated with Alignment Capital a fixed sale price of $0.003, being the closing price of shares on the ASX on the Record Date ( Sale Price ). After the Closing Date, Alignment Capital will sell all shares available under the facility either on or off market; to the extent that there are any shares remaining under the facility which remain unsold, Alignment Capital (and/or its nominees) may subscribe for the remaining shares.
Accordingly, the price you will receive for each share sold through this facility will be $0.003 per share. All participants who have their shares sold will receive the same sale price per share. You should note that there is a risk that the market value of your shares may increase between the Record Date and Closing Date, due to an increase in the Artemis share price. Consequently, the sale proceeds which you receive (based on the fixed Sale Price) may be less than the market value of your shares at that time.
Sale proceeds will be paid to you in Australian dollars either by cheque or direct credit as per your existing direct credit instruction recorded on the register as soon as practicable following the sale of your shares. Payment is expected to be remitted within 15 business days of the Closing Date. A transaction confirmation statement will be sent to you confirming the number of your shares sold and the price and total sale proceeds you have received.
If your shares are held in a CHESS holding, Artemis may, after the Closing Date initiate a holding adjustment to move your shares to the issuer sponsored subregister for the purpose of this facility.
Any tax consequences arising from the sale of your shares will be your responsibility. If the market value of your shares increases between the record date and closing date, due to the increase in Artemis’s share price, so that at the closing date the value of your shares previously identified by Artemis as being a less than a marketable parcel is no longer less than $500 (i.e. their value becomes equal to or greater than $500), Artemis will not sell your shares.
2. Retain your existing holding
If you wish to retain your existing holding then you must do one of the following:
-
Complete and return the attached Share Retention Form to Artemis’s registered office so that it is received by the Closing Date of 5.00 pm (Melbourne time) on Wednesday 24 December 2014;
-
Make your own arrangements outside this facility to purchase additional Artemis shares so that the value of your registered holding is at least $500 on the Closing Date.
-
If you hold Artemis shares in multiple holdings (i.e. in more than one shareholder
-
reference number (SRN) or holder identification number (HIN), arrange to have those holdings merged into one holding with a value of at least $500 so that this is reflected on Artemis’s share register at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on the Closing Date.
If you successfully take one of these steps, Artemis will not be entitled to sell your shares.
