This is an important document that requires your attention.
Dear Shareholder
Share Purchase Plan – Eligible Shareholders may purchase parcels of fully paid ordinary shares up to a value of A$15,000
Further to the ASX announcement made by BluGlass Limited ( BluGlass or the Company ) on 21 May 2018, on behalf of BluGlass, I am pleased to offer you the opportunity to increase your investment in BluGlass through a Share Purchase Plan (the SPP ) on and subject to the terms and conditions of the SPP attached to this announcement ( Terms and Conditions ).
The funds raised under the SPP (after costs), together amounts raised under the placement announced on 21 May 2018, are intended to be used to:
-
acquire additional MOCVD equipment to build and demonstrate applications by retrofitting MOCVD equipment with RPCVD on commercial platforms;
-
undertake a major facilities upgrade to expand current infrastructure to assist in the acceleration of RPCVD development; and
-
strengthen the Company’s balance sheet to exploit market opportunities and help fund the planned increase in activity.
Key terms of the SPP offer
Subject to the Terms and Conditions, Eligible Shareholders (as defined in the Terms and Conditions) who are holders of BluGlass shares at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on 18 May 2018 ( Record Date ) will be given the opportunity to apply for up to A$15,000 worth of BluGlass’ ordinary shares ( New Shares ) at the fixed subscription price of A$0.37 per New Share via the SPP without incurring brokerage or other transaction costs. This subscription price represents a:
- (a) 8.6% discount to the last closing price of BluGlass shares on 16 May 2018 (the last trading day before the SPP was announced);
==> picture [539 x 116] intentionally omitted <==
OFFER TO SHAREHOLDERS IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND ONLY
==> picture [191 x 49] intentionally omitted <==
- (b) 11.4% discount to the 5-day volume weighted average price of BluGlass shares over the 5 trading days prior to 16 May 2018.
Pursuant to the Terms and Conditions of the SPP, Eligible Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to acquire parcels of New Shares to the value of A$2,000, A$5,000, A$7,000, A$10,000 or A$15,000, irrespective of the size of their shareholding. The minimum application under the SPP is A$2,000.
Under the Terms and Conditions of the SPP, BluGlass may in its absolute discretion choose to scale back applications under the SPP if (amongst other things) applications received exceed A$5,000,000 or any other such amount as determined by the Directors. If there is a scale back, BluGlass may allocate less than the number of New Shares applied for by each Eligible Shareholder as set out in the Terms and Conditions of the SPP.
Your right to participate in the SPP is not transferrable.
The SPP opens on 9.00am (Sydney time) Tuesday, 22 May 2018 and is expected to close at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on Tuesday, 12 June 2018.
Participation in the SPP is entirely voluntary. Eligible Shareholders who are custodians for certain eligible beneficiaries will also be invited to participate in the SPP as set out in the Terms and Conditions of the SPP attached to this letter.
All New Shares issued under the SPP will rank equally with existing fully paid ordinary shares and will carry the same voting rights and entitlement to receive dividends.
New Zealand shareholders
This offer is extended to New Zealand shareholders in reliance on the Financial Markets Conduct (Incidental Offers) Exemption Notice 2016.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The offer to purchase New Shares under this SPP is not a recommendation to purchase shares in BluGlass Limited, and this document has been prepared without taking account of any person’s investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs. If you are in any doubt about whether or not, or the extent that, you should participate in this SPP, you should obtain professional financial and/or taxation advice to assist you (taking into account your own financial situation, needs and objectives). Nothing in these Terms and Conditions, the Application Form or any other accompanying documentation constitutes investment or financial product advice or is intended to influence your decision whether or not to participate in the SPP.
If you apply to participate in the SPP by completing and returning the Application Form or by making a payment by Bpay, you are accepting the risk that the market price of shares in BluGlass may change between the Opening Date, the date on which you send in an Application Form or by making a payment by Bpay and the Allotment Date. This means it is possible that, up to or after the Allotment Date, you may be able to buy shares in BluGlass at a lower price than the Issue Price. The Issue Price for the New Shares under the SPP is fixed, and any change in the market price of BluGlass Shares will not have any effect on the price that you must pay for the New Shares.
Set out below are the terms and conditions of the BluGlass SPP which are binding on any Shareholder participating in the SPP ( Terms and Conditions ). Please read the Terms and Conditions carefully. The Application Form forms part of this document.
Capitalised terms used in these Terms and Conditions are both defined in the body of these Terms and Conditions as well as in clause 19.

-
3.2. The SPP offer is not made to any person other than Eligible Shareholders.

The certification under clause 9 by one joint holder will be effective in respect of the other joint holders. If the same joint holders receive more than one offer under the SPP due to multiple registered holdings, the joint holders may apply for New Shares on different Application Forms but only up to a maximum aggregate of A$15,000.
-
3.5. ( Custodians, trustees and nominees ) This SPP is extended to Eligible Shareholders who are a custodian within the definition of 'custodian' in the Class Order ( Custodian ) and who wish to apply for New Shares on behalf of a person:

If you are a Custodian please contact the Security Registry to obtain the form of Custodian Certificate that you are required to submit. Applications by Custodians on behalf of their Eligible Beneficiaries that are not accompanied by a duly completed Custodian Certificate will be rejected.
If you hold BluGlass Shares as a trustee or nominee for another person, but are not a 'custodian' within the meaning of the Class Order, you cannot participate in the SPP on behalf of Eligible Beneficiaries in the manner described above. In this case, the rules for multiple single holdings described in clause 3.3 above apply.
Nominees and other registered holders of BluGlass Shares must not (i) send this document or
any other document relating to the SPP to any person in the United States or to a U.S. Person or
(ii) purport to exercise rights under this offer on behalf of a person in the United States or a U.S. Person.

-
A$5,000;
-
A$7,000;
-
A$10,000; and

A$15,000.
Other than Custodians (which may be permitted to acquire more than A$15,000 worth of BluGlass
Shares in aggregate on and subject to the terms and conditions set out in clause 3.5), Eligible Shareholders are not permitted to acquire more than A$15,000 worth of BluGlass Shares in aggregate, even if you receive more than one Application Form or hold BluGlass Shares in more than one capacity, e.g. if you are both a sole and joint holder of BluGlass Shares.

OFFER TO SHAREHOLDERS IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND ONLY
==> picture [191 x 49] intentionally omitted <==
-
5.3. A$0.37 per New Share represents a discount of 8.6% to the closing price of BluGlass Shares on 16 May 2018 (being the last trading day before the announcement of the SPP) and a 11.4% discount to the volume weighted average price of shares over the last 5 trading days ending 16 May 2018.
-
5.4. You agree to pay the Issue Price for each New Share you apply for calculated under clause 6.2 or, if there is a Scaleback (as defined in clause 12 below), the number of BluGlass Shares calculated under clause 12.
-
5.5. You acknowledge that the market price of BluGlass Shares may rise or fall between the date of this document and the date that New Shares are allotted to you under the SPP ( Allotment Date ) and that the effect of this is that the Issue Price you pay for the New Shares may exceed the market price of BluGlass Shares on the Allotment Date.
-
Applying for New Shares
-
6.1. If you are an Eligible Shareholder and wish to participate in the SPP, you must follow the instructions on the SPP Application Form ( Application Form ) and either:
- A. complete the Application Form and return it with a cheque or money order made payable to "BluGlass Limited", and send it to the Security Registry at:
BluGlass Limited
C/- Automic
PO Box 2226, Strawberry Hills NSW 2012
The completed Application Form and cheque or money order must be received by the Security Registry by 7.00pm (Sydney time) on the Closing Date. Payments must be denominated in Australian dollars.
-
B. To pay via Bpay you will need to:
-
be an account holder with an Australian financial institution;

-
ensure that your payment is received by the Security Registry before 7.00pm (Sydney time) on the Closing Date.
==> picture [540 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
OFFER TO SHAREHOLDERS IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND ONLY
==> picture [191 x 49] intentionally omitted <==
If you are paying via Bpay there is no need to return the Application Form but you will be taken to have made the statements and certifications that are set out in the Terms and Conditions and Application Form.
-
6.2. If you apply for New Shares under the SPP, you will apply for a certain value, rather than a certain number, of New Shares. Subject to clause 6.3 BluGlass will divide the parcel value you select by the Issue Price in order to determine the number of New Shares for which you have applied (rounded down to the nearest whole number of New Shares). Any balance of monies sent by you that is remaining as a result of rounding will be refunded to you except where the amount is less than A$2.00.
-
6.3. Eligible Shareholders who receive more than one offer under the SPP (for example, because they hold BluGlass Shares in more than one capacity) may apply on different Application Forms for New Shares but may not apply for New Shares with an aggregate value of more than A$15,000.
-
6.4. BluGlass may accept or reject your application for New Shares, either in whole or in part, at its absolute discretion. For example, BluGlass may reject your application in any of the following circumstances (among others):
-
A. it appears that you are applying to purchase a number of New Shares that will mean that your Aggregate SPP Participation (defined in clause 9.5) will exceed A$15,000;
-
B. your Application Form is incorrectly completed, incomplete or otherwise determined by BluGlass to be invalid;
-
C. your cheque is dishonoured or the cheque or money order that you enclose with your Application Form is not made out for the amount corresponding to the value of the parcel of New Shares for which you have applied;
-
D. your Application Form and cheque or money order or Bpay payment is received by the Security Registry after 7:00pm (Sydney time) on the Closing Date; or
-
E. BluGlass believes you are not an Eligible Shareholder (subject to compliance with any ASIC or ASX requirements).
-
6.5. If you are entitled to a refund of all or any of your application monies, the refund will be paid to you, without interest, as soon as is practicable.
==> picture [540 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
OFFER TO SHAREHOLDERS IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND ONLY
==> picture [191 x 49] intentionally omitted <==
- 6.6. No interest will be paid on any application monies held pending the issue of New Shares or subsequently refunded to the Eligible Shareholder for any reason.
Risk
Subscription for New Shares under the SPP is a speculative investment and the market price of BluGlass Shares may change between the date you apply for New Shares and the issue of New Shares to you. Accordingly, the value of New Shares applied for is likely to rise or fall. Importantly, there is a risk that during the period between when you apply for New Shares and when the New Shares are issued to you, the price at which BluGlass Shares are traded on the ASX may be less than the Issue Price payable under this SPP.
This document is not a prospectus or product disclosure statement, and has not been lodged with ASIC. The issue of a prospectus or product disclosure statement is not required for the purposes of the SPP. This document does not contain the types of disclosure required to be contained in a prospectus or product disclosure statement. You must rely on your own knowledge of BluGlass, previous disclosures made by BluGlass to the ASX (including disclosure regarding the risks of making an investment in BluGlass) and, if necessary, consult your professional adviser when deciding whether or not to participate in the SPP.
8.
Timetable
-
8.1. Subject to clause 8.2, the Timetable for the SPP is set out in the front section of this offer booklet.
-
8.2. BluGlass may vary any of the dates set out in Timetable at its discretion (even if the offer has opened, or Application Forms have been received), subject to complying with its disclosure and other obligations under the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act.
9.

About BluGlass:
BluGlass Limited (ASX: BLG) is a global leader commercialising a breakthrough technology using Remote Plasma Chemical Vapour Deposition (RPCVD) for the manufacture of high-performance LEDs and other devices. BluGlass has invented a new process using RPCVD to grow advanced materials such as gallium nitride (GaN) and indium gallium nitride (InGaN). These materials are crucial to the production of high-efficiency devices such as power electronics and high-brightness light emitting diodes (LEDs) used in next-generation vehicle lighting, virtual reality systems and device backlighting.
The RPCVD technology, because of its low temperature and flexible nature, offers many potential benefits over existing technologies including higher efficiency, lower cost, substrate flexibility (including GaN on silicon) and scalability.
BluGlass was spun off from Macquarie University in 2005 and listed in 2006.
