Chairman’s Letter
22 October 2018
Dear Shareholder,
On behalf of Carbonxt Group Limited ( CG1 ) I am pleased to invite you to participate in a recently announced 1 for 4 pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement offer of new fully paid ordinary shares in CG1 ( New Shares ) at an offer price of $0.40 ( Offer Price ) per New Share ( Entitlement Offer ).
On 15 October 2018, CG1 announced a placement of 7.5 million Shares to sophisticated investors at an issue price of $0.40 to raise $3.0 million ( Placement ).
It is intended that the net proceeds raised from the Placement and Entitlement Offer will be used to fund capital expenditure and working capital to expand the company’s production capacity in the activated carbon pellet ( ACP ) market. Carbonxt is one of only a handful of US manufacturers of ACP at a time when demand is significantly increasing due to uncertainty caused by trade tariffs on imported product.
This information booklet ( Offer Booklet ) relates to the Entitlement Offer.
Details of the Entitlement Offer
This Offer Booklet sets out the terms of the Entitlement Offer.
Under the Entitlement Offer, eligible shareholders are entitled to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 4 existing fully paid ordinary shares in CG1 ( Entitlement ) held at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on Thursday, 18 October 2018 ( Record Date ), at the Offer Price of $0.40 per New Share.
Subject to the terms of this Offer Booklet, Eligible Shareholders may also apply for New Shares in excess of their Entitlement. Any Additional New Shares will be limited to the extent that there are sufficient New Shares from Eligible Shareholders who do not take up their full Entitlements. Subject to the foregoing, CG1 may apply any scale-back (in its absolute discretion).
The price at which Shares trade on ASX during the period prior to the close of the Entitlement Offer may go up or down and you should check the current trading price of Shares before making a decision in relation to your Entitlements.
The pro-rata nature of the Entitlement Offer favours existing CG1 shareholders in recognition of their continuing support, and provides an equitable mechanism for shareholders to maintain their level of ownership in CG1.
If fully subscribed, the Entitlement Offer will raise up to approximately $7.3 million.
New Shares will be issued on a fully paid basis and will rank equally with existing Shares on issue.
The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable and therefore your Entitlements will not be tradeable on the ASX, cannot be sold and are therefore not transferable. I encourage you to consider this offer carefully.
How to apply?
This Offer Booklet is important and requires your immediate attention. It is accompanied by your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form which contains details of your Entitlement as well as important information including:
-
key dates for the Entitlement Offer;
-
instructions on how to apply, setting out how to accept all or part of your Entitlement in the Entitlement Offer if you choose to do so; and
-
the ASX Offer Announcements and Investor Presentation.
-
7 -
The Entitlement Offer closes at 5:00pm (Sydney time) on Wednesday, 31 October 2018. To participate, you need to ensure that you have completed your application by:
- paying Application Monies via BPAY[®] pursuant to the instructions that are set out on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form so that your payment via BPAY[®] has been received by the Share Registry by 5:00pm (Sydney time) on Wednesday, 31 October 2018;
OR
- lodging your Entitlement and Acceptance Form, together with payment of Application Monies, by cheque, bank draft or money order so that it is received by the Share Registry by 5:00pm (Sydney time) on Wednesday, 31 October 2018.
Please refer to the instructions in section 2 of this Offer Booklet for further information.
If you do not wish to take up your Entitlement, you do not have to take any action.
Additional information
Further information on the Entitlement Offer is detailed in this Offer Booklet. You should read the entirety of this Offer Booklet carefully including the “Key Risks” section of the Investor Presentation released to ASX on 15 October 2018 before deciding whether to participate in the Entitlement Offer.
If you have any further questions about the Entitlement Offer, you should seek advice from your stockbroker, accountant or other independent professional adviser, or you can call the CG1 Offer Information Line on 02 9290 9600 (within Australia) or +61 2 9290 9600 (outside Australia) at any time between 8:30am and 5:00pm (Sydney time) on Monday to Friday during the Entitlement Offer period.
On behalf of the Board of Directors of CG1, I thank you for your ongoing support of CG1 and look forward to your participation in the Entitlement Offer.
Yours sincerely,
Matthew Quinn Chairman Carbonxt Group Limited

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable. Accordingly, Entitlements do not trade on the ASX, nor can they be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of.
Eligible Shareholders are invited to take up all or part of their Entitlement.
Eligible Shareholders may also apply for New Shares in excess of their Entitlement ( Additional New Shares ). Please note that Additional New Shares in excess of Entitlements will only be allocated to an Eligible Shareholder subject to CG1's absolute discretion having regard to the circumstances at the time of the close of the Entitlement Offer ( Allocation Principles ). Any Additional New Shares will be limited to the extent that there are sufficient New Shares from Eligible Shareholders who do not take up their full Entitlements. Subject to the foregoing, CG1 may apply any scale-back (in its absolute discretion).
The Entitlement Offer opens at 10:00am (Sydney time) on 22 October 2018 and closes at 5:00pm (Sydney time) on 31 October 2018. The Offer Booklet will be dispatched on 22 October 2018, along with a personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, to Eligible Shareholders.
New Shares will be issued on a fully paid basis and will rank equally with existing Shares on issue.
The Entitlement Offer is not underwritten.
The Entitlement Offer is being made pursuant to section 708AA of the Corporations Act which allows rights issues to be offered without a prospectus, provided certain conditions are satisfied.
As a result, this offer is not being made under a prospectus and it is important for Eligible Shareholders to read and understand the information on CG1 and the Entitlement Offer made publicly available by CG1, prior to taking up all or part of their Entitlement. Please refer to section 4.
1.2 Who is eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer?
Under the Entitlement Offer, Eligible Shareholders are being offered the opportunity to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 4 existing Shares held as at the Record Date (7:00pm (Sydney time) on Thursday, 18 October 2018), at the Offer Price of $0.40 per New Share. Eligible Shareholders are those Shareholders who:
-
(a) are registered as a holder of Shares as at the Record Date, being 7:00pm (Sydney time) on Thursday, 18 October 2018;
-
(b) as at the Record Date, have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand;

-
(d) are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Entitlement Offer without any requirement for a prospectus or offer document to be lodged or registered.
-
1.3 What is your Entitlement?
Your Entitlement is set out on the accompanying personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and has been calculated as 1 New Share for every 4 existing Shares you held as at the Record Date, being 7:00pm (Sydney time) on Thursday, 18 October 2018. If the result is not a whole number, your Entitlement will be rounded up to the nearest whole number. If you have more than
- 11 -
one registered holding of Shares, you will be sent more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and you will have separate Entitlements for each separate holding.
1.4 Shortfall
If any Shortfall remains after the closing date, the Company will allocate the Shortfall according to the following priority:
-
(a) to those Eligible Shareholders who elect to take up their full Entitlement and Additional New Shares in accordance with section 2.2; then
-
(b) any other parties selected by the Directors in conjunction with the Lead Manager.
An application for any Additional New Shares does not guarantee the allotment of any Additional New Shares. The Company reserves the right to issue an applicant a lesser number of Additional New Shares than the number applied for reject an application for any Additional New Shares or not proceed with the issuing of the Additional New Shares or part thereof. If the number of Additional New Shares issued is less than the number applied for, surplus Application Monies will be refunded in full. Interest will not be paid on Application Monies refunded.
Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 3), any allocation of the Shortfall to persons will not count towards the Company’s 15% threshold under Listing Rule 7.1, provided that the Company makes the issue within three months after the close of the Entitlement Offer and the issue price is not less than the price at which the Shares were offered under the Entitlement Offer.
1.5 No Entitlements Trading
The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable. Accordingly, your Entitlement cannot be traded on the ASX, nor can it be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of.
1.6 ASX quotation
Subject to approval being granted, quotation of the New Shares is expected to commence on 8 November 2018 for New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer.
Holding statements will be despatched in accordance with the Listing Rules. It is the responsibility of each applicant to confirm their holding before trading in New Shares. Any applicant who sells New Shares before receiving confirmation of their holding in the form of a holding statement will do so at their own risk. CG1 disclaims all liability (to the maximum extent permitted by law) to persons who trade New Shares before receiving their holding statements, whether on the basis of confirmation of the allocation provided by CG1 or the Share Registry or otherwise.
1.7
Ineligible Shareholders
All Shareholders who are not Eligible Shareholders are ineligible Shareholders ( Ineligible Shareholders ). Ineligible Shareholders will not be entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer.
CG1 has determined that it would be unreasonable on this occasion to extend the Entitlement Offer to Ineligible Shareholders, having regard to the number of securities held by Ineligible Shareholders, the number and value of New Shares that they would be offered and the costs of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements which would apply to an offer of securities to Ineligible Shareholders in those places.
1.8 Notice to nominees and Custodians
Eligible Shareholders who hold Shares in the capacity of trustee, nominee or custodian (or in any other capacity) for a person that would not satisfy the criteria of an Eligible Shareholder cannot take up Entitlements on behalf of that person. CG1 is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder is acting as a nominee or the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of Shares. Where any holder is acting as a nominee for a foreign person, that holder, in dealing with its beneficiary, will need to assess whether indirect participation by the beneficiary in the Entitlement Offer is compatible with applicable foreign laws. CG1 is not able to advise on foreign laws. CG1 reserves the right to reject any Application that it believes comes from a person who is not an Eligible Shareholder.
- 12 -
1.9 Effect of the Entitlement Offer
If all entitlements are accepted by shareholders to the full extent, then the Entitlement Offer will not result in any change to the control of CG1.
If all entitlements under the Entitlement Offer are not accepted to the full extent, then the shareholding interest of non-participating shareholders will be diluted.
The Entitlement Offer is not expected to have a material impact on the control of CG1. The CG1 directors do not expect any shareholder to hold more than 20% after completion of the Entitlement Offer.
1.10 Allocation policy and scale-back
If there are excess oversubscription applications, CG1 reserves the right to scale back applications for Additional New Shares in its absolute discretion.
In the event of a scale-back, the difference between the Application Monies received, and the number of Additional New Shares allocated to you multiplied by the offer price of $0.40 will be refunded following allotment. No interest will be paid on any Application Monies received and returned.

2.6 Consequences of not accepting all or part of your Entitlement
If you do not accept all or part of your Entitlement in accordance with the instructions set out above, those New Shares for which you would have otherwise been entitled under the Entitlement Offer (including New Shares that relate to the portion of your Entitlement that has not been accepted) may be acquired by the other Eligible Shareholders and other parties.
By allowing your Entitlement to lapse, you will forgo any exposure to increases or decreases in the value of the New Shares had you taken up your Entitlement and you will not receive any value for your Entitlement. Your interest in CG1 will also be diluted.
2.7 Payment
(a) General
The Offer Price of $0.40 per New Share accepted is payable on acceptance of your Entitlement. You can pay in the following ways:
-
BPAY[®] ; or
-
cheque, bank draft or money order.
Cash payments will not be accepted. Receipts for payment will not be issued.
Application Monies received from Eligible Shareholders will be held in the CG1 Entitlement Offer Account solely for the purpose of holding the Application Monies.
CG1 reserves the right to cancel the Entitlement Offer at any time prior to the allocation of New Shares under the Entitlement Offer. If the Entitlement Offer is cancelled, all Application Monies will be refunded without interest. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Eligible Shareholder agrees that any Application Monies paid by them to CG1 will not entitle them to any interest against CG1 and that any interest earned in respect of Application Monies will belong to CG1. This will be the case, whether or not all or none (if the Entitlement Offer is withdrawn) of the New Shares applied for by a person are issued to that person.
Any Application Monies received for more than your final allocation of New Shares will be refunded. No interest will be paid on any Application Monies received or refunded.
(b) Payment by BPAY[®]
For payment by BPAY[®] , please follow the instructions on the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form (which includes the biller code and your unique reference number). You can only make a payment via BPAY[®] if you are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY[®] transactions.
If you are paying by BPAY[®] , please make sure to use the specific Biller Code and unique Reference Number on your Entitlement and Acceptance Form.
If you have multiple holdings and receive more than one Entitlement and Acceptance Form, when taking up your Entitlement in respect of one of those holdings, please only use the Reference Number specific to the Entitlement on that Form. If you do not use the correct Reference Number specific to that holding, or inadvertently use the same Reference Number for more than one of your Entitlements, your application will not be recognised as valid.
Please note that should you choose to pay by BPAY[®] :
-
16 -
-
you do not need to submit the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the statements on that personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form; and
-
you will be deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of New Shares which is covered in full by your Application Monies.
It is your responsibility to ensure that your BPAY[®] payment is received by the Share Registry by no later than 5:00pm (Sydney time) on 31 October 2018. You should be aware that your financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regard to electronic payment and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment.
- (c) Payment by cheque, bank draft or money order
Your cheque, bank draft or money order must be:
-
for an amount equal to $0.40 multiplied by the number of New Shares that you are applying for;
-
in Australian currency drawn on an Australian branch of a financial institution; and
-
payable to “Carbonxt Group Limited” and crossed “Not Negotiable”.
If you wish to pay by cheque, bank draft or money order, you must also complete your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form in accordance with the instructions set out on that form and return it to the Share Registry accompanied by a cheque, bank draft or money order.
You should ensure that sufficient funds are held in the relevant account(s) to cover the Application Monies. If the amount of your cheque for Application Monies (or the amount for which the cheque clears in time for allocation) is insufficient to pay in full for the number of New Shares you have applied for in your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, you will be taken to have applied for such lower number of whole New Shares as your cleared Application Monies will pay for (and you will be taken to have specified that number of New Shares on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form).
Alternatively, your application will not be accepted.
2.8 Mail delivery
Shareholders who wish to pay via cheque, bank draft or money order should send their completed personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form together with Application Monies to:

3 Australian Tax Implications
This section summarises the general Australian taxation implications of the Entitlement Offer for Australian resident Eligible Shareholders who hold their Shares on capital account for Australian income tax purposes.
These comments do not apply to:
-
Eligible Shareholders who are not residents of Australia for tax purposes; or
-
Eligible Shareholders who carry on a business of life insurance or hold their Shares on revenue account (rather than on capital account) or as trading stock for Australian income tax purposes; or
-
an Entitlement issued in respect of Shares previously acquired under an employee share scheme; or
-
Eligible Shareholders that are subject to the Taxation of Financial Arrangements provisions in Division 230 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) in respect of their holding of existing Shares, New Shares or Entitlements.
These comments are general in nature. The tax implications of the Entitlement Offer will depend upon each Eligible Shareholder’s specific circumstances. Accordingly, all Eligible Shareholders should seek their own independent taxation advice before reaching any conclusions as to the possible taxation consequences of the Entitlement Offer. Neither CG1, nor any of its officers, nor its taxation adviser, nor any other adviser to CG1, accepts any liability or responsibility in respect of any statement concerning the taxation consequences of the Entitlement Offer.
These comments do not address the taxation implications of the Entitlement Offer under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of Australia. These comments are based on Australian law and administrative practice as at the time of issue of the Offer Booklet.
3.1 Income tax consequences of Entitlements
(a) Issue of Entitlements
The issue of an Entitlement should not result in an amount being included in the assessable income of an Eligible Shareholder.
(b) Exercise of Entitlements
The exercise of an Entitlement should not result in an amount being included in the assessable income of an Eligible Shareholder.
(c) Lapse of Entitlements
The lapse of an Entitlement should not result in an amount being included in the assessable income of an Eligible Shareholder.
3.2 Income tax consequences of New Shares
Eligible Shareholders who exercise their Entitlements will acquire New Shares on the date the New Shares are issued.
(a) Taxation of dividends on New Shares
Where dividends on a New Share are paid by CG1, those dividends will constitute assessable income of an Eligible Shareholder.
An Eligible Shareholder that is an individual or complying superannuation entity should include the dividend in their assessable income in the year the dividend is paid, together with any franking credit attached to that dividend. Such an Eligible Shareholder should be entitled to a tax offset equal to the franking credit attached to the dividend subject to satisfying the ‘holding period’ and ‘related payment’ rules (refer to comments below). The
- 21 -
tax offset can be applied to reduce the Eligible Shareholder's tax payable. Where the tax offset exceeds the Eligible Shareholder's tax payable, such Eligible Shareholder should be entitled to a refund equal to the excess tax offsets.
An Eligible Shareholder that is a company should include the dividend in their assessable income in the year the dividend is paid, together with any franking credit attached to that dividend. Such an Eligible Shareholder should be entitled to a tax offset equal to the franking credit attached to the dividend subject to satisfying the ‘holding period’ and ‘related payment’ rules (refer to comments below). Such an Eligible Shareholder should be entitled to a credit in its own franking account to the extent of the franking credits attached to the dividend received. Where the tax offset exceeds the Eligible Shareholder's tax payable, such an Eligible Shareholder should not be entitled to a refund, but the excess tax offset may be able to be converted into carry forward tax losses in certain circumstances.
An Eligible Shareholder who is a trustee (other than a trustee of a complying superannuation entity) or partnership should include the dividend in the net income of the trust or partnership in the year the dividend is paid, together with any franking credit attached to that dividend. A beneficiary or partner may be entitled to a tax offset in proportion to the respective beneficiary's or partner's share of the net income of the trust or partnership subject to satisfying the ‘holding period’ and ‘related payment’ rules (refer to comments below).
Where a dividend paid by CG1 is wholly or partly unfranked, the Eligible Shareholder should include the unfranked amount in their assessable income and there will be no tax offset entitlement.
(b) Holding period and related payments rules
In order to be eligible for the benefit of franking credits and tax offsets, an Eligible Shareholder must satisfy both the 'holding period' and 'related payment' rules. This broadly requires that an Eligible Shareholder holds the New Shares 'at risk' for more than 45 days continuously (not including the date of acquisition and disposal).
The holding period commences on the day after the Eligible Shareholder acquires the New Shares and ending on the 45th day after the New Shares become ex-dividend.
Any day on which an Eligible Shareholder has a materially diminished risk of loss or opportunity for gain in respect of the New Shares will not be counted as a day on which the Eligible Shareholder held the shares 'at risk'.
Where these rules are not satisfied, the Eligible Shareholder will not be able to include an amount for the franking credits in their assessable income and will not be entitled to a tax offset.
The holding period rule is subject to certain exceptions, including where the total franking offsets of an individual in a year of income do not exceed A$5,000.
The related payment rule applies where the Eligible Shareholder has made, or is under an obligation to make, a related payment in relation to a dividend paid by CG1. The related payment rule requires the Eligible Shareholder to have held the New Shares at risk for a period commencing on the 45th day before, and ending on the 45th day after, the day the New Shares become ex-dividend.
(c)
Disposal of New Shares
Eligible Shareholders should make a capital gain from the disposal of New Shares where the capital proceeds from the disposal are more than the cost base of the New Shares. Eligible Shareholders should make a capital loss from the disposal of New Shares where the capital proceeds from the disposal are less than the reduced cost base of the New Shares. The cost base and reduced cost base of the New Shares should initially be equal to the Offer Price paid by the Eligible Shareholder for the New Shares plus certain nondeductible incidental costs incurred in acquiring the New Shares (if any).
- 22 -
If an Eligible Shareholder is an individual, trust or complying superannuation fund and has held their New Shares for 12 months or more (excluding the date of acquisition and disposal) at the time of disposal, the Eligible Shareholder should be entitled to a CGT discount on the disposal of New Shares subject to satisfying other requirements. The applicable CGT discount is 50% for individuals and trustees and 33⅓% for complying superannuation funds. The CGT discount is not available to a company other than a company acting in the capacity of a trustee for an individual or superannuation fund.
If a capital loss arises on the disposal of New Shares, the capital loss can only be utilised to offset capital gains. The capital loss cannot be utilised to offset against other types of ordinary or statutory income. However, if the capital loss cannot be utilised in a particular income year it may be carried forward and utilised to offset capital gains in future income years, provided the applicable loss utilisation tests are satisfied.
(d) Provision of TFN or ABN
You are not required to provide your TFN or ABN to CG1.
However, CG1 may be required to withhold an amount at the top marginal tax rate plus Medicare levy from the payment of certain distributions to you on your Shares where you have not provided CG1 with your TFN, or in certain circumstances your ABN, or you have not notified CG1 that you are exempt from providing this information.
(e) GST
The taking up of the New Shares may be classified as a "financial supply" for Australian GST purposes. GST will not be payable in respect of amounts paid for the acquisition of the New Shares. Subject to certain requirements, there may be a restriction on the entitlement of GST registered Eligible Shareholders to claim an input tax credit for any GST incurred on costs associated with the acquisition of New Shares.
(f) Stamp Duty
No stamp duty should be payable for subscribing for New Shares under the Entitlement Offer provided no person, either alone or with associated or related persons, obtains a 90% or more interest in CG1.
