Letter from the Chair

Dear Shareholder

On behalf of the Directors, I am pleased to offer you the opportunity to participate in Calix Limited's (Calix) share purchase plan (SPP) which was announced on Friday, 19 March 2021. The SPP provides each eligible Calix shareholder the opportunity to subscribe for up to $30,000 worth of new, fully paid, ordinary shares in Calix (SPP Shares) , without incurring brokerage or other transaction costs. The SPP aims to raise up to $3.0m and is not underwritten. Calix reserves the right to increase the size of the SPP or may decide to scale back applications under the SPP at its absolute discretion.

As announced on Friday, 19 March 2021, Calix recently undertook a placement of fully paid, ordinary shares to institutional and professional investors (Placement Shares) raising $14.0m (Placement) . [Proceeds of the Placement will be used to fund Calix’s development of lithium-ion hybrid batteries based on nano-active electrode materials.] The funds raised from the SPP are also intended to be applied by Calix for this purpose.

The SPP gives you the opportunity to increase your holding of fully paid ordinary shares in Calix (Shares) at an issue price consistent with the issue price under the Placement. The issue price of the SPP Shares will be $2.00 per SPP Share, which is the price at which Placement Shares were issued to investors under the Placement.

The Issue Price represents a 10.4% discount to the volume weighted average price of Shares over the 5-day period to Tuesday, 16 March 2021 (rounded to the nearest cent).

You may apply for a parcel of SPP Shares valued at any amount in multiples as set out in the SPP Application Form between $1,000 and $30,000. Applications may be scaled back at the absolute discretion of Calix.

The Directors of Calix who are eligible will be participating in the SPP.

Participation in the SPP is optional and open to eligible shareholders, being holders of fully paid ordinary shares in Calix at 7.00pm (AEST) on Thursday, 18 March 2021 (the Record Date ) and whose address on the share register is in Australia or New Zealand. The SPP is also being extended to eligible shareholders who are custodians to participate in the SPP on behalf of certain eligible beneficiaries on the terms and conditions set out in this Booklet.

Your right to participate in the SPP is not transferable.

All SPP Shares will rank equally with existing Shares in Calix.

The terms and conditions of the SPP and your personalised Application Form are provided in this booklet (Booklet) . I urge you to read these materials in their entirety and seek your own financial and taxation advice in relation to the SPP, before you decide whether to participate.

Page 3

The SPP opens on Thursday, 25 March 2021 and is expected to close at 5.00pm (AEST) on Thursday, 8 April 2021. SPP Shares are expected to commence trading on ASX on Tuesday, 13 April 2021.

To apply for SPP Shares, you must either:

  • complete and return the personalised Application Form, together with payment via cheque; or

  • make a payment directly via BPAY (you do not need to return an Application Form under this option).

If you have any questions in relation to how to participate in the SPP, please contact Calix's share registry, Boardroom Pty Limited from 8.30am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday on 1300 737 760 (callers within Australia) or +61 2 9290 9600 (callers outside Australia) or consult your financial or other professional adviser.
