By accepting the Offer and applying for Shares under the Plan, each Eligible Shareholder will be acknowledging that although the purchase price is at a discount to the market price, Shares are a speculative investment and the price of Shares on ASX may change between the date of the Company announcing its intention to make the Offer and the date of issue of Shares under the Offer and that the price and/or value of the Shares received under the Plan may rise or fall accordingly.

The Board recommends that you obtain your own financial advice in relation to the Offer and consider price movements of Shares in the Company prior to accepting this Offer.

Additional Information

The Offer cannot be transferred and the Directors reserve the right to reject any application over $15,000. Shares allotted under the Plan will be issued as soon as practicable after the Closing Date of the Offer. Application for quotation on ASX of the new Shares will be made immediately following the issue of those Shares.

The Company is seeking to raise $3 million under the Plan which would result in the issue of 16,216,216 Shares at the issue price of $0.185.

The amount intended to be raised under the Plan is at the Company’s discretion. In the event of an oversubscription, the Company reserves the right to accept the oversubscriptions and scale back applications. When determining the amount (if any) to scale back an application, Celsius may take into account a number of factors, including the size of an applicant’s shareholding in Celsius, the extent to which an application has sold or bought additional Shares after the Record Date and the date on which the application was made.

If the Company rejects or scales-back an application or purported application, the Company will promptly return to the shareholder the relevant application monies, without interest.

Shortfall

In the event that less than 16,216,216 Shares are applied for pursuant to the Plan, the shortfall may be placed at the discretion of the Directors using the Company’s available capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Celsius Resources Limited ACN 009 162 949 Share Purchase Plan - Terms and Conditions

Purpose

The purpose of the Share Purchase Plan ( the Plan ) is to offer shareholders of Celsius Resources Limited (ACN 009 162 949) ( Company ) the opportunity to acquire additional fully paid ordinary shares in the Company ( Shares ) up to a maximum of $15,000 (when combined with any Shares issued under any share purchase plan in the 12 months preceding the date of the Plan) at an issue price of $0.185 per Share (which represents a discount of 18% to the volume weighted average market price of Shares on the financial market operated by ASX Limited ( ASX ) during the 5 trading days immediately prior to the date the Plan was announced) ( Offer ) without the need to pay brokerage costs and without the need for Company to issue a Prospectus, upon such terms and conditions as the board of directors of Company ( Directors ), in its absolute discretion, sees fit.

Shareholders eligible to participate

Holders of Shares that are registered with an Australian or New Zealand address at the relevant record date may participate in the Plan. Due to foreign securities laws, it is not practical for shareholders resident in other countries to be offered the opportunity to participate in the Plan.

Participation in the Plan is optional and is subject to these terms and conditions. Offers made under the Plan are nonrenounceable (i.e. eligible shareholders may not transfer their rights to any Shares offered under the Plan).

An offer may, at the discretion of the Directors, be made under the Plan once a year. The maximum amount, which any shareholder may subscribe for in any consecutive 12 month period, is A$15,000. The Directors may also determine in their discretion the minimum amount for participation, the multiple of Shares to be offered under the Plan and the period the Offer is available to eligible shareholders.

Custodians, trustees and nominees

If you are an eligible shareholder and hold Shares as a custodian (as defined in ASIC Class Order CO 09/425 (refer below) ( Custodian ) or in any more specific ASIC relief granted to the Company in relation to the Plan), you may apply for up to the maximum of new Shares for each beneficiary for whom you act as custodian provided you annexe to your SPP Application Form a certificate to the Company ( Custodian Certificate ) with the following information:

  • that you held Shares on behalf of one or more other persons (each a Participating Beneficiary ) at 5:00pm (WST) on 2 May 2018 who have subsequently instructed you to apply for Shares under the Plan on their behalf;

  • the number of Participating Beneficiaries and their names and addresses;

  • the number of Shares that you hold on behalf of each Participating Beneficiary;

  • the dollar amount of Shares that each Participating Beneficiary has instructed you, either directly or indirectly through another custodian, to apply for on their behalf;

  • that the application price for Shares applied under the Offer for each Participating Beneficiary for whom you act plus the application price for any other Shares issued to you as custodian for that Participating Beneficiary under any arrangement similar to the Plan in the prior 12 months does not exceed $15,000;

  • that a copy of the written offer document was given to each Participating Beneficiary; and

  • where you hold Shares on behalf of a beneficiary indirectly, through one or more interposed custodians, the name and address of each interposed custodian.

For the purposes of ASIC Class Order CO 09/425 you are a ‘custodian’ if you are a registered holder that:

  • holds an Australian financial services licence that allows you to perform custodian or depositary services or operate IDPS accounts;

  • is exempt from holding an Australian financial services licence for the provision of custodial or depository services by virtue of paragraphs 7.1.06(k) or 7.6.01(1)(na) of the Corporations Regulations 2001 , ASIC Class Orders [CO 14/1000] or [CO 14/1001], Schedule 2 to the ASIC Corporations (Repeal and Transitional) Instrument 2016/396 , an instrument, non being a legislative instrument, made by ASIC and which applies to the person on terms similar to Schedule 2 of the ASIC Corporations (Repeal and Transitional) Instrument 2016/396 or any of the ASIC Class Orders repealed by that legislative instrument, or paragraph 911A(2)(b) of the Corporations Act 2001 ;

  • is a trustee of a self managed superannuation fund;

  • is a trustee of superannuation master trusts;

  • is a responsible entity of IDPS like schemes;

  • is noted on the Company’s register of members as holding the Shares on account of another person.

If you hold Shares as a trustee or nominee for another person or persons but are not a Custodian as defined above, you cannot participate for beneficiaries in the manner describes above. In this case, the rules for multiple single holdings (above) apply.

Custodians should request a Custodian Certificate when making an application on behalf of Participating Beneficiaries. To request a Custodian Certificate and if you would like further information on how to apply, you should contact Automic Registry Services at any time from 9:00am to 5:00pm (WST) Monday to Friday during the Offer period.

The Company reserves the right to reject any application for Shares to the extent it considers that the application (whether alone or in conjunction with other applications) does not comply with these requirements. The Company reserves the right to reject applications in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.
