CLASSIC MINERAL LIMITED ACN 119 484 016
Share Purchase Plan – Terms & Conditions
The following are the Terms & Conditions of the Classic Minerals Share Purchase Plan ( SPP ). By participating in the SPP, you agree to be bound by the Terms & Conditions and the Company's constitution.
1. Opening Date and Closing Date of the SPP
The SPP Offer opens on 02 Aug 2021 and is expected to close at 5:00pm (Perth time) on 16 Aug 2021 ( Closing Date ). However, the Company reserves the right to close the SPP Offer early in the event that it is oversubscribed.
2. Eligible Shareholders
Holders of Shares that are registered with an Australian or New Zealand address at the Record Date, being 5.00pm (WST) on 30 July 2021, may participate in the SPP. Due to foreign securities laws, it is not practical for shareholders resident in other countries to be offered the opportunity to participate in the SPP.
Offers made under the SPP are non-renounceable (i.e. eligible Shareholders may not transfer their rights to Shares offered under the SPP).
Subject to paragraph 7 below, the maximum amount which any shareholder may subscribe for under a share purchase plan in any 12-month period, is $30,000. The Directors may also determine in their discretion the minimum amount for participation, the multiple of Shares to be offered under the SPP and the period the SPP Offer is available to eligible shareholders.
If you receive more than one offer to participate in the SPP (for example, because you hold more than one shareholding under separate share accounts), the maximum you may invest under the SPP in all capacities is $30,000.
If you are recorded with one or more other persons as the joint holder of Shares, that joint holding is considered to be a single holding for the purposes of the SPP. Accordingly, joint holders are only entitled to participate in the SPP in respect of that single holding. If you receive more than one offer under the SPP due to multiple identical holdings, the maximum you may invest under the SPP in all capacities is $30,000.

3. Issue Price
The issue price of Shares to be issued under the SPP will be $ 0.0013 per Share. This price has been determined by calculating the volume-weighted average market price of Shares traded on ASX during the 5 trading days prior to the announcement of the SPP Offer (being $0.0015) and discounting this calculation by 13.3%.
Shares in the Company are a speculative investment, and the price of Shares might rise or fall between the date of this offer and the date the Shares are issued to you. This means that the price you pay for a Share under the SPP may be greater or less than the price of Shares at the time they are issued to you.
The Company recommends that you monitor the price of Shares on ASX’s website at www.asx.com.au (ASX code: CLZ).
4. Applications and Notices
Eligible Shareholders may participate by selecting one of the following alternatives under the SPP Offer:

5. Modification & termination of the SPP
The Company may modify or terminate the SPP at any time. The Company will notify ASX of any modification to, or termination of, the SPP. The omission to give notice of any modification to, or termination of, the SPP or the failure of ASX to receive such notice will not invalidate the modification or termination.
Without limiting the above, the Company may issue to any person fewer Shares than the person applied for under the SPP if the issue of the Shares applied for would contravene any applicable law or the Listing Rules of ASX.
6. Allocation
The Company will allocate Shares under the SPP Offer on a “first come, first served basis”. As the Company is only seeking to raise a maximum of $8.4 million under the SPP, it reserves the absolute discretion to reject any application received after the allocation of that maximum amount under the SPP Offer.
7. Scale back
The Company is only seeking to raise a maximum of $8.4 million under the SPP. Accordingly, the Company reserves the right to close the SPP early and scale back applications in its absolute and sole discretion should the total demand exceed $8.4 million. When determining the amount (if any) by which to scale back an SPP application, the Company may take into account a number of factors including, but not limited to:
-
(a) the amount applied for by each Eligible Shareholder under the SPP;
-
(b) the date on which the application under the SPP was received with earlier applications given precedence;
-
(c) the number of Shares held at the Record Date; and
-
(d) the extent to which an Eligible Shareholder has sold or bought additional Shares after the Record Date.

If the Company undertakes a scale back, you will receive the number of Shares determined by the Company in its absolute discretion, which may be less than the parcel of Shares for which you have applied. In this case, the difference between the application moneys received and the number of Shares allocated to you multiplied by the issue price, will be refunded to you by cheque and mailed to your registered address as soon as practicable following the close of the SPP Offer.
8. Shortfall
The Directors reserve the right to place any Shares not taken up pursuant to the SPP Offer ( Shortfall Shares ). The offer of Shortfall Shares ( Shortfall Offer ) is a separate offer under these Terms & Conditions and will remain open for up to three months following the Closing Date. The issue price for each Share to be issued under the Shortfall Offer shall be $0.0013 being the price at which Shares are offered under the SPP Offer. The allocation of the Shortfall Shares will be at the absolute discretion of the Directors and otherwise subject to compliance with the ASX Listing Rules. Accordingly, do not apply for Shortfall Shares unless instructed to do so by the Directors.
9. Custodians, trustees and nominees
If you are an Eligible Shareholder and hold Shares as a custodian (as defined in the ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 or in any more specific ASIC relief granted to the Company in relation to the SPP) ( Custodian ), 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 Entitlement and Acceptance Form a certificate ( Custodian Certificate ) with the following information:
-
(a) that you held Shares in the Company on behalf of one or more other persons that are not themselves custodians (each a Participating Beneficiary ) at 5:00pm (WST) on 30 July 2021 who have subsequently instructed you to apply for Shares under the SPP on their behalf;

10. ASIC relief
The offer of Shares under this SPP is made in accordance with the relief granted under ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547, which grants relief from the requirement to prepare a prospectus for the offer of new shares under the SPP.
