LESS THAN A MARKETABLE PARCEL SHARE SALE FACILITY

Castile Resources Limited (ASX:CST) ( “Castile” or “the Company” ) announces details of a share sale facility ( “Facility” ) it has established for holders of less than a marketable parcel of shares in the issued capital of Castile ( “Castile Shares” ) (defined in the ASX Listing Rules as a parcel of securities of not less than $500 in value) ( “Less Than a Marketable Parcel” ).

Based on the closing price on ASX on 28 August 2020 of $0.27 per Castile Share, a Less Than a Marketable Parcel of Castile Share is any holding of 1,851 Castile Shares or fewer. As at 5pm AWST on the Record Date, there are 4,191 holdings of Castile Shares of Less Than a Marketable Parcel (from a total of 6,123 holdings), totalling 2,044,884 Castile Shares and constituting approximately 1.02% of the 199,710,121 total Castile Shares on issue.

Castile is providing the Facility to holders (including custodians and nominees) of Less Than a Marketable Parcels to sell their Castile Shares without difficulty, and without incurring any costs that might otherwise make a sale of their shares uneconomic.

Cannaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited has been appointed as broker for the shares to be sold under the Facility. Castile will forward all sale proceeds to participating shareholders as soon as practicable following settlement. All associated costs and brokerage fees will be paid by Castile, excluding any tax consequences which are the responsibility of participating shareholders.

Castile will arrange to complete the Less Than a Marketable Parcel share sale process as soon as practicable after the closing date for the Facility of 19 October 2020.

Dear Shareholder

SELLING YOUR LESS THAN A MARKETABLE PARCEL OF CASTILE SHARES

Castile Resources Limited (ASX:CST) ( “Castile” or “the Company” ) has many shareholders holding a small number of shares in the issued capital of Castile ( “Castile Shares” ).

The Facility also benefits Castile by reducing the number of shareholders with a small holding of Castile Shares, and allowing Castile to better manage its share registry costs and reduce its costs for printing and mailing documents to shareholders.

The Facility is available to all Castile shareholders who held 1,851 Castile Shares or fewer (valued at less than $500 based on the closing price of $0.27) at 5pm AWST on the Record Date of 28 August 2020. Castile’s share register shows that you hold Less Than a Marketable Parcel of Castile Shares as at the Record Date. Shareholders with a Less Than Marketable Parcel of Castile Shares are not obliged to sell their shares. You do not need to do anything if you wish to sell your Castile Shares in the Facility.

If you do not wish to sell your Castile Shares in the Facility, you must return the enclosed Share Retention Form by mail to the address detailed on the form so that it is received by Castile’s share registry, Computershare Investor Services, by no later than 19 October 2020. If your Share Retention Form is not received by that date, Castile will sell your shares through the Facility, in accordance with its entitlement under clause 6.8 of Castile’s Constitution. The proceeds of the sale will be sent to you as soon as practicable after settlement of all Castile Shares sold under the Facility. The Castile Shares sold under the Facility will be sold at market prices, subject to prevailing market conditions and available liquidity. You will receive a proportionate share of the total sale proceeds of all Castile Shares sold under the Facility.

This letter is the first and final notice to holders of Less Than a Marketable Parcel of Castile Shares regarding the Facility.

What are your options?

You should read the Information Sheet attached to Castile’s ASX announcement dated 1 September 2020.

If you wish to sell you Castile Shares in the Facility, you do not need to take any action. By not taking any action, you will be deemed to have appointed Castile as your agent to sell your Less Than a Marketable Parcel of Castile Shares through an orderly on-market sale and without any cost being incurred by you, to have appointed Castile and its directors as your attorney and to act on your behalf to effect all documents required to effect the sale under the Facility, and to deal with the proceeds of the sale as set out in this letter and the Information Sheet attached to Castile’s ASX announcement dated 1 September 2020.

If you do not wish to sell your Castile Shares in the Facility, you must complete and return the enclosed Share Retention Form by mail so that it is received by 5pm AEST on 19 October 2020. Please carefully read the instructions on the Share Retention Form before completing it.
