Dear Shareholder

Non-Renounceable 1 for 10 Rights Issue to Shareholders

1 Rights Issue

ASF Group Limited ACN 008 924 570 (ASX: AFA) (the Company ) announced a nonrenounceable 1 for 10 rights issue on 21 November 2014 ( Offer ) and is pleased to provide further detailed information on the Offer.

The Offer is for new fully paid ordinary shares ( New Shares ) on the basis of one (1) New Share for every ten (10) existing shares held ( Entitlement ) by Eligible Shareholders (defined below) on the Record Date (defined below) ( Existing Shares ), at a price of $0.18 per New Share ( Issue Price ).

Based on the current shares on issue in the Company, a total of 53,240,201 New Shares will be offered to raise up to $9,583,236 (before the costs of the Offer).

The Issue Price represents a discount of approximately 14.29% to the last closing price of the Company's shares on the ASX prior to the announcement of the Offer.

The Offer is non-renounceable, meaning that Eligible Shareholders who do not take up their Entitlement will not be able to transfer or receive any value for those Entitlements, and their equity interest in the Company will be diluted.

2 Offer Document

The Offer is being conducted in accordance with section 708AA of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (the Act ). Accordingly, the Company is not required to lodge a prospectus with ASX or ASIC or provide one to shareholders.

The Offer Document was lodged with the ASX on 21 November 2014 and will be sent to Eligible Shareholders on or before 1 December 2014, together with an Application Form.

A Cleansing Notice and Appendix 3B were also lodged with the ASX on 21 November 2014.

In the event that there is no Shortfall, the Application Monies relating to the Shortfall will be returned to the Eligible Shareholder as soon as practicable following the Closing Date without interest.

In the event that applications from Eligible Shareholders to participate in the Shortfall exceed the number of Shortfall Shares, those applications will be scaled back in the discretion of the Directors.

No Shortfall Shares will be issued to any Eligible Shareholder or any third party if it results in an Eligible Shareholder increasing its shareholding to more than 20% of the Company’s issued capital.

Notwithstanding any application received by the Company for Shortfall Shares from Eligible Shareholders, the Directors may at their complete and absolute discretion place the Shortfall Shares with any third party at not less than the issue price within 3 months of the Closing Date.
