Dear shareholder
SHARE PURCHASE PLAN OFFER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Catalyst Metals Limited ( Catalyst ) is pleased to invite you to participate in a non‐renounceable Share Purchase Plan, whereby existing eligible shareholders as at 4.00 p.m. Perth time on 18 December 2020 can subscribe for up to $30,000 worth of New Shares at a subscription price of $2.10 per Share, in any one of the following parcel options:
| Parcel | Amount | Number of Shares |
|---|---|---|
| Offer A | $2,500 | 1,191 |
| Offer B | $5,000 | 2,381 |
| Offer C | $10,000 | 4,762 |
| Offer D | $15,000 | 7,143 |
| Offer E | $20,000 | 9,524 |
| Offer F | $25,000 | 11,905 |
| Offer G | $30,000 | 14,286 |
The issue price of the New Shares represents a discount of 18.5% to the volume weighted average price of Catalyst’s shares during the last 5 days on which Catalyst shares were traded, up to and including 18 December 2020, being the business day before the Share Purchase Plan was announced. The offer under the Share Purchase Plan provides you with an opportunity to increase your investment in Catalyst at an attractive price and at the same price as shares issued under the $18 million share placement ( Placement ) undertaken in association with the Henty Gold Mine acquisition and major exploration programme announced to the market on 21 December 2020.
The offer under the Share Purchase Plan will be conducted without a prospectus in accordance with ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547. Catalyst is aiming to raise approximately $2 million under the Share Purchase Plan but there is no minimum subscription condition. In accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, the maximum number of shares which may be issued under the Share Purchase Plan is 30% of the number of shares on issue. If necessary, applications may be scaled back at the discretion of the Board and also to make sure that no Shareholder would acquire more shares than they can legally acquire at the time allocations are made. Oversubscriptions may also be accepted at the discretion of the Board, subject to available exceptions.
The offer is non‐renounceable. This means that you cannot trade or transfer your right to subscribe for New Shares under the Share Purchase Plan.
The right to participate in the offer under the Share Purchase Plan is optional and is available exclusively to Eligible Shareholders whose registered address is in Australia or New Zealand. Permitted Foreign Shareholders may participate in the offer, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Offer Memorandum.
44 Kings Park Road, West Perth WA 6005 PO Box 778, Claremont WA 6910 Telephone: (61‐8) 6263 4423 Facsimile: (61‐8) 9284 5426 www.catalystmetals.com.au ABN 54 118 912 495
The proceeds raised from Share Purchase Plan, together with funds raised from Placement, will be used primarily to fund the acquisition of the Henty gold mine, support major exploration campaigns focused on Henty and the Four Eagles and Tandarra joint ventures and other Victorian exploration projects and general working capital requirements.
For further information on the use of proceeds refer to the ASX announcement “Major exploration programs, complementary acquisition and capital raising” released to the market on 21 December 2020.
Each Director who is entitled to participate in the Share Purchase Plan intends to take up the maximum parcel of Shares available to them under the Share Purchase Plan.
You are encouraged to read this Offer Memorandum and the accompanying Application Form fully. If you have any queries in relation to the Share Purchase Plan, you should consult your stockbroker or other professional adviser.
Yours sincerely
Stephen Boston Chairman

-
3.3 By making an Application, a Permitted Foreign Shareholder warrants that the offer under the Share Purchase Plan, the Application by the Permitted Foreign Shareholder and the issue of New Shares to the Permitted Foreign Shareholder under the offer does not constitute a breach of the relevant securities laws and regulations in the jurisdiction of the Permitted Foreign Shareholder.
