Dear Shareholder,

AUDINATE SHARE PURCHASE PLAN

AN OPPORTUNITY TO INCREASE YOUR SHAREHOLDING IN AUDINATE GROUP LIMITED

Audinate Group Limited ( Audinate or Company ) is pleased to invite you to participate in its Share Purchase Plan ( SPP ) offer on the terms and conditions set out in the attached document and in the enclosed "Share Purchase Plan Application Form". The SPP provides eligible shareholders with an opportunity to apply for up to A$30,000 worth of fully paid new ordinary shares in the capital of Audinate ( Shares ) without paying brokerage or other transaction costs, on the terms and conditions of the SPP.

Shares issued under the SPP will rank equally with the existing Shares of the Company, carrying the same voting rights and other entitlements.

The SPP issue price will be the lower of:

  • A$5.15 per Share, which is the same price as investors paid under the placement announced to ASX on 22 July 2020; or

  • the price that is a 2% discount to the 5-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s ordinary shares traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days up to, and including, the SPP Closing Date.

Based on an issue price of A$5.15 , this represents:

  • 9.5% discount to the last traded price of the Company’s shares on 21 July 2020; and

  • 5.1% discount to the 5-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares traded on the ASX up to and including 21 July 2020 of $5.43.

The current price of Shares can be obtained from the ASX. The share price may also be accessed via the Company's website at http://www.audinate.com/.

Audinate intends to raise up to A$12,000,000 under the SPP (being approximately 2,330,097 Shares at an issue price of A$5.15 per Share), which may be increased, varied or scaled back, at the Company’s absolute discretion. If subscriptions under the SPP exceed A$12,000,000 the Company may scale back applications received under the SPP. If applications are scaled back, any excess application monies will be refunded without interest. It should be noted that if the issue price per Share is lower than A$5.15 as a result of the issue price calculations noted above, then the maximum number of Shares issued under the SPP may increase.

The issue of Shares under the SPP will not be underwritten.

Purpose of the SPP offer

Audinate intends to use the proceeds raised from the SPP to :

  • Increase investment in engineering, R&D capabilities and business infrastructure to extend marketleading position in the audio networking space.

  • Strengthen Audinate’s balance sheet position in the uncertain COVID-19 period.

  • Accelerate investment in additional video software products .

If you wish to participate in the SPP, you may apply for Shares in increments of A$1,000 worth of Shares, rounded up to the nearest whole number of Shares, up to a limit of A$30,000 worth of Shares. The actual number of Shares received under the SPP will depend on any scale back.

Participation in the SPP is entirely at your option.

By accepting the SPP offer, you will be agreeing to be bound by those terms and conditions.

When to apply

To participate in the SPP offer you must complete and return the Share Purchase Plan Application Form together with your cheque, bank draft or money order in Australian dollars by 5.00 pm (AEST) on 11 August 2020. Alternatively, you can pay by BPAY® (for Australian shareholders only), in which case you do not need to return the Application Form.

Important information

You should consider all the information about the SPP accompanying this letter before deciding whether to participate in the SPP. Audinate is not providing investment advice or making any recommendation in relation to the SPP. Any decision to participate in the SPP should be made after fully considering your own financial circumstances and needs.

Level 7/64 Kippax St Surry Hills NSW 2010 Australia

==> picture [118 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

2. What is the issue price?

The issue price for each Share under the SPP will be the lower of:

  • A$5.15 per Share, which is the same price as investors paid under the placement announced to ASX on 22 July 2020; or

  • the price that is a 2% discount to the 5-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s ordinary shares traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days up to, and including, the SPP Closing Date.

Up to 2,330,097 Shares will be issued under the SPP to raise up to A$12,000,000, based on an issue price of A$5.15 per Share, which may be increased, varied or scale back, at the Company’s absolute discretion. It should be noted that the maximum number of Shares to be issued under the SPP has been calculated using an issue price of A$5.15 per Share, however, should a lower issue price be used as a result of the issue price calculations noted above, then the maximum number of Shares issued under the SPP may increase.

You should note that the Share price may rise or fall between the date of this offer and the date when Shares are allotted and issued to you under the SPP. This means that the price you pay per Share pursuant to this offer may be either higher or lower than the Share price at the time of the offer or at the time the Shares are issued and allotted to you under the SPP.

The current price of Shares can be obtained from the ASX as well as on the Company's website at http://www.audinate.com/

3. How much can you invest under the SPP?

Eligible Shareholders may apply for new Shares in increments of A$1,000 worth of new Shares, rounded up to the nearest whole number of Shares. The actual number of Shares received under the SPP will depend on any scale back.

The offer under the SPP needs to comply with the limit in ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 ( ASIC Instrument 2019/547 ). Under this ASIC instrument, Eligible Shareholders may only acquire a maximum of A$30,000 worth of Shares under a share purchase plan in any 12-month period. This means that Eligible Shareholders must not acquire more than A$30,000 worth of Shares, in aggregate, under this SPP. These limitations apply even if you receive more than one Application Form or if you hold Shares in more than one capacity, e.g. if you are both a sole and joint holder of Shares as described below.

4. Applications may be scaled back

Audinate reserves the right to scale back, in its absolute discretion, the number of Shares to be issued under the SPP.

The maximum number of Shares to be issued under the SPP will be 2,330,097 Shares based on an issue price of A$5.15 per Share (raising up to A$12,000,000 ), which may be increased, varied or scale back, at the Company’s absolute discretion. As noted above, if the issue price per Shares is lower than A$5.15 as a result of the issue price calculations noted above, then the maximum number of Shares issued under the SPP may increase. If subscriptions under the SPP exceed A$12,000,000 the Company may scale back applications received under the SPP. If applications are scaled back, any excess application monies will be refunded without interest.

7. How do I apply for Shares under the SPP?

You may apply for Shares by:

  • completing the enclosed Application Form and returning it together with your cheque, bank draft or money order drawn on an Australian bank and in Australian dollars to the Company's Share Registry in accordance with the instructions on the Application Form; or

Any amount not applied to your application will be refunded without interest.

Please do not forward cash. Receipts for payment will not be issued. Applications must be received by 5.00pm (Sydney time) on 11 August 2020. Applications received after that time will not be accepted.

  • (d) you have not and will not send any materials relating to the SPP to any person in the United States or that is, or is acting for the account or benefit of, a US person.

Level 7/64 Kippax St Surry Hills NSW 2010 Australia

==> picture [118 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

8. Who is an Eligible Shareholder?

Registered holders of Shares in the Company at 7.00pm Sydney time on 21 July 2020 ( Record Date ) having a registered address in either Australia or New Zealand are eligible to participate in the SPP ( Eligible Shareholders ).

The Company has determined that the SPP may only be accepted by residents of Australia and New Zealand. In the opinion of the Company these places are the only places in which it is lawful and practical for the Company to offer the SPP. To the extent that you hold Shares on behalf of another person resident outside Australia or New Zealand, it is your responsibility to ensure that acceptance of the offer complies with all applicable laws.

9. Participation by single holders

If you are an Eligible Shareholder and you have received more than one offer under the SPP (for example, because you hold more than one shareholding under separate share accounts), you may not apply for Shares with an application value exceeding A$30,000 under the SPP. This is because the maximum amount that may be raised by law under a share purchase plan from each eligible holder in any 12 month period is A$30,000. By applying for Shares under the SPP, you certify that you have not exceeded this limit. The Company reserves the right to reject any application for Shares where it believes there has not been compliance with this requirement.

10. Participation by joint holders

If two or more persons are recorded in the register of members as jointly holding Shares, they will be taken to be a single registered holder for the purposes of the SPP. Joint holders are only entitled to participate in the SPP in respect of that single holding.

11. Participation on behalf of beneficial owners by custodians, trustees or nominees

If you are a custodian, trustee or nominee within the definition of "custodian" in ASIC Instrument 2019/547 ( Custodian ) and you hold Shares on behalf of one or more persons that are not custodians (each a Participating Beneficiary ), you may not apply for Shares totalling more than A$30,000 in any 12 month period unless, on application, you give to the Company a certificate ( Custodian Certificate ) in which you verify the following:

page 10

Level 7/64 Kippax St Surry Hills NSW 2010 Australia

==> picture [118 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

  • (a) that you hold Shares on behalf of one or more Participating Beneficiaries who have instructed you to apply for Shares on their behalf under the SPP;

  • (b) that another custodian (Downstream Custodian) holds beneficial interests in Audinate’s Shares and that you hold the Shares to which those beneficial interests relate on behalf of a Downstream Custodian or another custodian and they have instructed you to apply for Shares on their behalf under the SPP;

  • (c) the number of Participating Beneficiaries;

  • (d) the name and address of each Participating Beneficiary for whom you are applying for Shares under the SPP;

  • (e) the number of Audinate Shares that you hold on behalf of each Participating Beneficiary or the number of Shares to which the beneficial interest held by the Downstream Custodian relates (as applicable);

  • (f) the number or dollar amount of Shares which each Participating Beneficiary has instructed you or the Downstream Custodian (as applicable) to apply for on their behalf under the SPP;

  • (g) that the application price for the Shares that you or the Downstream Custodian have applied for on behalf of a Participating Beneficiary under the SPP, and any other shares in the class applied for on their behalf under a similar arrangement in the previous 12 months (excluding Shares applied for but not issued), does not exceed A$30,000;

  • (h) where you hold shares on behalf of a Participating Beneficiary indirectly, through one or more interposed custodians, the name and address of each interposed custodian;

  • (i) that a copy of the SPP offer document has been given to each Participating Beneficiary; and

  • (j) any such additional or varied information as might be required under any more specific ASIC relief that might be granted to Audinate in relation to the SPP.

For the purposes of ASIC Instrument 2019/547 you are a "custodian" if you are person that provides a custodial or depository service in relation to shares of a body or interests in a registered scheme and who:

  • (a) holds an Australian financial services licence covering the provision of a custodial or depository service;

  • (b) is exempt from the requirement to hold an Australian financial services licence covering the provision of a custodial or depository service;

  • (c) holds an Australian financial services licence covering the operation an IDPS or is a responsible entity of an IDPS-like scheme;

  • (d) is a trustee of a self-managed superannuation fund or a superannuation master trust; or

  • (e) is a registered holder of shares or interests in the class and is noted on the register of members of the body or scheme as holding the shares or interests on account of another person.

If you hold Shares as a trustee, custodian or nominee for another person, but are not a Custodian as defined above, you cannot participate for beneficiaries in the manner described above. In this case, the rules for multiple single holdings (above) apply.

Custodians who wish to apply on behalf of one or more Participating Beneficiaries should contact Link Market Services Limited on 1800 647 819 (within Australia) or +61 1800 647 819 (outside Australia) to

obtain a Custodian Certificate. Applications by Custodians must be accompanied by a completed Custodian Certificate.

12. Are Eligible Shareholders required to participate in the SPP?

No. Participation in the SPP is entirely optional. The offer to acquire Shares under the SPP is not a recommendation to acquire Shares or financial product advice.

Before deciding on whether to participate in the SPP, you should consider the Company's latest financial statements and recent announcements to ASX (ASX code: AD8) and, if you are in any doubt, consult your independent financial and taxation advisers.

13. What are the Shares being offered under the SPP?
