CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

13 November 2017

Dear Shareholder,

1. Share Purchase Plan

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Comet Ridge Limited (“ COI ” or “ Compan y”), I am pleased to offer eligible COI shareholders an opportunity to participate in the Share Purchase Plan (“ SPP ”) which was announced on 9 November 2017. The SPP allows eligible COI shareholders to purchase up to A$10,000 worth of new ordinary shares in COI (“ SPP Shares ”) (subject to any scale back at COI’s absolute discretion) without brokerage or transaction costs.

COI recently conducted a placement of ordinary shares to professional and sophisticated investors, raising approximately A$10 million (“ Placement ”).

The SPP gives you the chance to increase your COI holding at a price of A$0.235 per share (“ Issue Price ”), which is the same price professional and sophisticated investors were offered new shares under the Placement. The Issue Price represents a discount of approximately 14.5 % to the closing price of COI ordinary shares on Tuesday, 7 November 2017, being A$0.275, which was the day prior to the Company entering into the Trading Halt to undertake the Placement.

All shareholders whose address in the share register of COI is in Australia, New Zealand or the United Kingdom (or such other jurisdictions as determined by COI) and who hold COI shares on the record date, being Wednesday, 8 November 2017 at 7.00pm (AEDT) are generally eligible to participate in the SPP.

Participation in the SPP is entirely voluntary. If you are an eligible COI shareholder and wish to participate in the SPP, you may apply for up to A$10,000 worth of SPP Shares at the Issue Price. You may apply to buy a parcel of SPP Shares valued at:

  • (a) A$1,000;

  • (b) A$2,500;

  • (c) A$5,000;

  • (d) A$7,500; or

  • (e) A$10,000.

as explained in the accompanying Terms and Conditions. If you do not wish to participate, you may disregard this letter.

Full details of the SPP are set out in the attached Terms and Conditions and Application Form (which together with this letter constitute the “ SPP Offer Document ”). I encourage you to read the SPP Offer Document carefully and in its entirety before making a decision on whether to participate in the SPP.

2. Purpose of the SPP

The purpose of the SPP and the Placement is to secure additional funding to continue to advance Comet Ridge's gas projects which are expected to feature prominently as short to mid-term supply solutions for a domestic market with significant demand requirements. In particular the net proceeds of the SPP and Placement along with the existing cash will be used to fund the following items:

  • a) Ongoing appraisal and pre-development activities at the Company's flagship Mahalo project; b) Comet Ridge’s share of the initial stage of the Albany sandstone initial appraisal programme; c) Additional Galilee exploration and appraisal and other permit expenditure; and d) General corporate and working capital purposes.

3. Scale back of SPP

COI has the absolute discretion to scale back applications under the SPP on the basis, and to the extent that, it sees fit. If the total value of applications for SPP Shares under the SPP is more than A$3 million, COI may undertake a scale back.

Should this occur, you may be allocated SPP shares to a value which is less than the parcel for which you applied and the difference will be refunded to you. In a material scale back you may receive very few SPP shares and possibly less than a marketable parcel of COI shares. COI will not be obligated to pay interest on the refunded amount as it is usually not cost effective to do so.

5. Important points

  • The SPP offer period opens on 13 November 2017 and closes at 5.00pm (AEDT) on 28 November 2017.

  • Depending on the level of applications received, your application may be materially scaled back at the discretion of COI.

  • The SPP offer is non-renounceable, which means that you cannot transfer your right to purchase SPP Shares under the SPP to anyone else.

  • You may only apply for SPP Shares with a maximum total value of A$10,000. If you make applications for each of your registered holdings of COI shares, the total value of all the applications must not exceed A$10,000. COI reserves the right to decline (or scale back) applications where it believes this requirement has not been complied with or may elect to scale back applications to the maximum A$10,000 limit and refund the excess subscription monies (without interest).

  • The Application Form includes a certification that the aggregate application money paid by you in any capacity (except as a Custodian) for the new shares under your application and any other new shares issued to you, or to a Custodian on your behalf and at your instruction, under the SPP or any similar arrangement operated by COI in the 12 months before the date your application is received by COI, is not more than A$10,000.

  • You should be aware that the market price of COI Shares may rise or fall between the date of the SPP offer and the date that SPP Shares are allotted to you under the SPP.

6. How to participate

If you would like to participate in the SPP, please read the attached Terms and Conditions carefully and follow the step-by-step instructions on the Application Form.

To apply and pay, you have two options:

Option 1: BPAY®

Provided you are not a Custodian (see clause 1(d) of the attached Terms and Conditions), you can make a payment by BPAY® if you have an Australian bank account enabled for this purpose. If paying by BPAY® you do not need to return your Application Form.

BPAY® customers must use the unique customer reference number shown on the Application Form which is required to identify your holding.

By making the application via BPAY® you represent to COI that you have complied with the matters set out in clause 3 “Effect of making an application” in the attached Terms and Conditions.

3

Option 2: Application Form and cheque, bank draft or money order

You can complete the enclosed Application Form and post or return it to our share registry, together with a cheque, bank draft or money order for the full amount to which your acceptance relates.

Cheques, bank drafts and money orders must be made payable to “Comet Ridge Limited” in Australian dollars and drawn on an Australian bank for the correct amount.

By post:

Comet Ridge Limited C/- Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited GPO Box 505 Melbourne Victoria 3001

7. Timing

Payment, together with the completed Application Form (unless you are eligible to pay by BPAY®) must be received by our share registry by 5.00pm (AEDT) on 28 November 2017 (“ Closing Date ”).

If you are sending the payment by post, then please leave several days for delivery. If you are paying by BPAY, then please check your daily transaction limit and the processing cut-off time for BPAY with your financial institution. For the sake of all applicants, COI will not hold up the allocation process because of late postal deliveries or payments.

You cannot withdraw or cancel your application or BPAY payment once you have sent it.

8. Directors’ participation

Eligible shareholding directors are entitled to participate in the SPP.

9. No financial product advice

Please note that this letter does not constitute financial product advice and does not take into account the investment objectives, financial situation, tax position or particular needs of individuals. If you are in doubt as to the course of action you should follow, you should consult your stockbroker, accountant, taxation adviser, solicitor or other professional adviser before participating in the SPP.

10. Market price risk

You are advised to carefully read the Terms and Conditions of the SPP enclosed with this letter before making your investment decision. In particular, you should note that the market price of COI Shares may rise or fall between the date of this offer and the date the SPP Shares are allotted to you under the SPP (“ Allotment Date ”) and that the Issue Price you pay for the SPP Shares may exceed the market price of COI Shares on the Allotment Date.

While such change will not affect the Issue Price of the SPP Shares, it may have an effect on the value of those shares. If the market price of COI Shares falls, then the value of the SPP Shares (based on market price) will be less, and if the market price of the COI shares increases, then the value of the SPP Shares (based on market price) will be greater.

11. Questions

If you have any questions in relation to the SPP or how to complete the Application Form, please call the Company on +61 7 3221 3661.

On behalf of the Board, I thank you for your continued support as a COI shareholder.

If the total value of applications under the SPP is more than A$3 million, COI has the discretion to reduce the allotment of SPP Shares compared to the parcels applied for (“Scale back”). If there is a Scale back you may receive less than the parcel of shares you applied for and may receive less than a marketable parcel of shares.

  • (i) A$1,000;

  • (b) If you are an Eligible Shareholder and wish to participate in the SPP, you have two options.

Option 1: BPAY

Provided you are not a custodian (see clause 1(d) above under the heading “Eligible Shareholders”), you can make a payment by BPAY if you have an Australian bank account enabled for this purpose. BPAY customers must use the unique customer reference number shown on the Application Form which is required to identify your holding.

  • (iii) any other Shares or interests in the class which you have instructed a custodian to acquire on your behalf under this SPP; and

  • (iv) any other Shares or interests in the class issued to a custodian under an arrangement similar to this SPP in the 12 months before this application as a result of you instructing the custodian or another custodian, which resulted in you holding a beneficial interest in the Shares or interests.

Payment by BPAY may not be processed and may not be valid if it has not been received by 5.00pm (AEDT) on Tuesday, 28 November 2017 (“ Closing Date ”). If making payment by BPAY, please check your daily transaction limit and the processing cut-off time for BPAY with your financial institution.

If you make a payment by BPAY and COI receives an amount which is not equal to A$1,000, A$2,500, A$5,000, A$7,500 or A$10,000, COI will round down the value of SPP Shares which you are applying for to the next lowest parcel, or if COI receives less than A$1,000, reject your application, and refund any application monies which are not used to purchase SPP Shares, without interest, following allotment.

  • (c) If you apply for SPP Shares under the SPP, you will apply for a certain value, rather than a certain number, of SPP Shares. Subject to clauses 2(d), 2(e) and 6, COI will divide the parcel value you select by the Issue Price (as determined under clause 4(a)) in order to determine the number of SPP Shares which you have applied for (rounded down to the nearest whole number of SPP Shares).

  • (d) Eligible Shareholders who receive more than one offer under the SPP (for example, because they hold SPP Shares in more than one capacity or in different registered holdings) may apply on different Application Forms for Shares but may not apply for Shares with an aggregate value of more than A$10,000.

  • (e) COI may accept or reject your application for SPP Shares at its absolute discretion. COI may reject your application in the following circumstances (among others):

  • (i) your Application Form is incorrectly completed, incomplete or otherwise determined by COI to be invalid;

  • (ii) you have applied for less than A$1,000 worth of Shares;

9

  • (iii) your cheque is dishonoured;

  • (iv) the cheque, bank draft or money order that you enclose with your Application Form is not made out for the amount corresponding to the amount of SPP Shares you have selected to purchase;

  • (v) COI believes that you are applying either directly or indirectly (such as through a trust) to buy more than an aggregate of A$10,000 of SPP Shares;

  • (vi) COI believes that you and one or more registered holders of the same or similar name or address are applying to buy more than an aggregate of A$10,000 of SPP Shares;

  • (vii) your Application Form or BPAY payment is received after the Closing Date or is otherwise incomplete or invalid. Late payments will be refunded (without interest);

  • (viii) COI believes that your participation in the SPP would be in breach of ASIC Class Order 09/425 or any other law;

  • (ix) COI believes that your application is completed by a person within, or a person acting for the account or benefit of a person within, another jurisdiction where, in the reasonable opinion of the Board, it would be unlawful or impractical for COI to issue the SPP Shares;

  • (x) if you are a custodian, COI is not satisfied with your Custodian Certificate for any reason;

  • (xi) COI believes you are not an Eligible Shareholder (subject to compliance with any applicable Australian Securities and Investments Commission or ASX requirements); or

  • (xii) your name is not recorded on the register of members of COI on the Record Date. For example, applications by people claiming an interest through a registered holder of Shares will not be accepted if the registered holder of Shares is not noted on the register of members as holding the Shares on account of another person.

  • (p) you agree not to send any materials relating to the SPP to any person in the United States or that is or is acting for the account or benefit of a US Person;

  • (b) The current Share price can be obtained from the ASX website (www.asx.com.au) by entering the share code “COI”.

  • (c) You agree to pay the Issue Price per Share for the number of SPP Shares calculated under clause 2(b) or, if there is a Scale back (see clause 6), the number of Shares calculated under clause 6.

5. The SPP Shares

  • (a) SPP Shares issued under the SPP will rank equally in all respects with existing Shares quoted on the ASX, with the same voting rights, dividend rights and other entitlements.

  • (b) COI will apply for new Shares issued under the SPP to be quoted on the ASX.

  • (c) The number of SPP Shares you will receive will be determined by:

  • (i) if there is no Scale back (see clause 6) applied to your allotment, dividing the amount you agree to contribute for SPP Shares by the Issue Price; or

  • (ii) if there is a Scale back (see clause 6) applied to your allotment, dividing the amount you are taken to have contributed by the Issue Price.

  • (d) If the calculation in clause 5(c) above produces a fractional number, the number of SPP Shares you will be allotted will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of SPP Shares and:

  • (i) if there is no Scale back (see clause 6) applied to your allotment, any residual balance will form part of the assets of COI. You will not receive a refund of this amount, which will always be less than the price of one SPP Share; or

12

6. Scale back

  • (a) If the total value of applications for SPP Shares under the SPP is more than A$3 million, COI may, in its discretion, undertake a Scale back to the extent and in the manner that it sees fit. A "Scale back" is a reduction in the allotments of SPP Shares (compared to parcels applied for) that COI will issue if it receives applications under the SPP for more SPP Shares than it wishes to issue.

  • (b) If there is a Scale back you may receive less than the parcel of SPP Shares for which you have applied. If a Scale back produces a fractional number of SPP Shares when applied to your parcel, the number of SPP Shares you will be allocated will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of SPP Shares.

  • (c) In the event of a Scale back the difference between the application monies received, and the number of SPP Shares allocated to you multiplied by the Issue Price, will be refunded to you by cheque as soon as practicable, without interest.

7. Costs of Participation

COI will not charge any brokerage, commissions or other transaction costs in respect of the application for, and allotment of, Shares under the SPP.

8. Broker Handling Fees

A handling fee equal to 2.0% (exclusive of GST) of the application amount of SPP Shares will be paid to stockbrokers who submit a valid claim for a broker handling fee on successful applications.

The Handling Fee will be payable to any Broker who submits to Computershare Investor Services Pty Ltd (Computershare):

  • (a) A valid and duly completed claim form (Claim Form) which sets out:

  • (i) the Broker’s Participant Identification Number; and

  • (ii) a representation (A) that neither the Broker nor its associate is the applying Shareholder and (B) that the fee will not be passed on or otherwise shared directly or indirectly with the applying Shareholder and;

  • (b) a list of applications (Application List) which contains:

  • (i) the registered name and address for each Shareholder to whom the Claim Form relates;

  • (ii) the Holder Identification Number or Shareholder Reference Number for each Shareholder to whom the Claim Form relates:

  • (iii) the Entitlement Number and;

  • (iv) the value of Shares each Shareholder applied for in the offer and the date of the relevant application.

Stockbrokers should contact the Company’s Share Registry to request a handling fee claims package by emailing [email protected].

Handling fee claims must be lodged with the Share Registry by 5.00pm (AEDT) on Friday 1 December 2017, being the day prior to the Allotment Date.

If Comet Ridge receives applications for in excess of $3 million under the SPP and consequently scales back applications, the handling fee will be calculated on the claims made but net of the application money refunded to applicants.
