Terms of the plan

The Terms and Conditions of the Plan are outlined in the enclosed document. By making an application to purchase Shares under the Plan, you will have agreed to be bound by those Terms and Conditions.

The right to participate in this offer under the Plan is available exclusively to persons who are registered as holders of fully paid ordinary shares in CYU at 7pm (Sydney time) on the Record Date and whose registered address was in Australia or in any other jurisdiction in which it is lawful for CYU to offer shares under the Plan.

You may apply only for ordinary shares in one of the following amounts:

  • 66,667 ordinary shares for $10,000 or

Share Purchase Plan

==> picture [55 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

The raising under the Plan is underwritten to the extent of $1,500,000. The maximum number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan is equal to 30% of fully paid ordinary shares in CYU on issue ( Maximum Subscription Level ). In the unlikely event that all Shareholders apply for their maximum $15,000 entitlement, this would have the effect that more than the Maximum Subscription Level would be received under the Plan. In this event, the Company reserves the right to reject applications in whole or in part, and/or accept any applications received in full or for a lesser number of Shares determined by the directors’ in their absolute discretion, so that the Maximum Subscription Level is not breached.

Participation in the Plan is entirely at your discretion but the Plan is non-renounceable which means you cannot transfer your right to purchase Shares under the Plan to anyone else.

On the basis of the issue price of Shares under the Plan, the Directors highly recommend the Plan to Shareholders.

The application period will close at 5.00pm (Sydney time) on the Closing Date. Therefore, if you wish to apply for any Shares under the Plan, you should follow the instructions outlined in the Application Form (which has been separately dispatched to you) so payment is received at our Share Registry by that date.

It is proposed that the following timetable apply in respect of the Plan:

Record Dateof the Plan Wednesday 10 November 2010
Opening Dateof the Plan Monday 15 November 2010
Closing Dateof the Plan Monday 6 December 2010
Issue and Allotmentof new Shares under the Plan Monday 20 December 2010

The above timetable is indicative only. CYU reserves the right to vary any of the key dates above, including the Closing Date of the Plan and the Issue Date, without further notice.

If you are a “Custodian” you may be required to submit a Custodian Certificate in order to participate on behalf of any beneficiaries. Further details in this regard are set out in the Plan’s Terms and Conditions.

The Plan will be underwritten by Patersons Securities Limited to the extent of $1,500,000. CYU has reserved the right to place any shortfall under the Plan, subject to the Corporation Act 2001 (Cth) and the Listing Rules.

I look forward to you participating in CYU’s Share Purchase Plan. On behalf of the Board of Directors of CYU, I commend this investment to you.

For further information, contact Mr Paul Marshall, Company Secretary, on +61 7 3212 9212 or the China Yunnan Copper Australia Limited Plan Offer Information Line on 1300 665 385 if calling within Australia or +61 2 8280 7607 if calling from outside of Australia.
