Letter from the Chairman

24 May 2017

Dear Shareholder,

On behalf of the Board of TopBetta Holdings Limited ( TopBetta or the Company ), further to the Company’s announcement on 11 May 2017, I am pleased to provide eligible shareholders of TopBetta ( Shareholders ) an opportunity to participate in TopBetta’s share purchase plan ( SPP ).

This offer under an SPP ( SPP Offer ) follows the successful placement of Shares in TopBetta to institutional and sophisticated investors on 17 May 2017 ( Placement ) and is intended to give eligible Shareholders the opportunity to increase their shareholdings at the same, or a more favourable price, as applicable to the Placement. Each Director intends to apply for their full entitlement under the SPP Offer.

The injection of funds from both the SPP Offer and the recent Placement is expected to position the Company to expedite its growth strategy and capitalise on the recent launch of the Global Tote and the advancements to the retail wagering business.

In addition to the key terms of the SPP set out on page 1, this booklet also contains important legal information in relation to the SPP Offer and should be read fully before any Eligible Shareholder makes any investment decision. You should seek independent advice from your stockbroker, accountant or other professional adviser if you have any questions in relation to your contemplated investment under the SPP Offer.

The SPP Offer is made in accordance with Class Order 09/425 ( Class Order ) which was issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. The Class Order imposes limits on the amount which can be invested under the SPP by each Eligible Shareholder and imposes certain requirements for trustees, custodians and nominees holding shares on behalf of beneficiaries. These requirements and limits are set out in the terms and conditions of the SPP set out in this booklet ( Terms ). I strongly encourage you to read this booklet in its entirety and contact our Company Secretary if you have any questions.

On behalf of the Board, I thank you for taking the time to read this letter and invite all eligible shareholders to consider participating in the SPP.

Yours sincerely,

Nick Chan Chairman TopBetta Holdings Limited
