Dear Shareholder,
Letter of Offer
As you may be aware from recent ASX announcements, an application was made to the Takeovers Panel by one of Coppermoly Limited’s ( Coppermoly’s ) shareholders in respect of the Offer and Shortfall Offer previously announced by Coppermoly, which closed on 30 July 2013.
As a result of that application, the Takeovers Panel has made orders that, among other things, require that:
-
(a) the underwriter of the Offer, Jelsh Holdings Pty Ltd ( Underwriter ), subscribe for all of the Shares not subscribed for under the Offer or Shortfall Offer prior to 30 July 2013 ( Sale Shares );
-
(b) Coppermoly offer, on behalf of the Underwriter, Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to acquire the Sale Shares from the Underwriter on the terms contained in this Letter of Offer; and
-
(c) additional disclosure be provided to Eligible Shareholders (see Sections 6 and 7 below),
( Panel’s Orders ).
Therefore, in accordance with the Panel’s Orders, this Letter of Offer provides Eligible Shareholders with the opportunity to acquire, from the Underwriter, the Sale Shares that will be acquired by the Underwriter in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and the Panel’s Orders ( Sale Offer ), on substantively the same terms as the Offer and Shortfall Offer by submitting an application to Coppermoly by 5.00pm AEST on Friday, 6 September 2013 ( Sale Offer Closing Date ), as set out further below.
The effect of the Panel’s Orders is that any applications received for Sale Shares will be treated as if they had been made under the original Offer and Shortfall Offer.
Accordingly, if Eligible Shareholders wish to:
-
(a) take up their Entitlement under the Offer, and have not yet done so; and/ or
-
(b) acquire additional Shares,
they may apply for Sale Shares by completing and returning the enclosed entitlement and application form ( New Application Form ) to the address specified in that application form, or by paying the application money via BPAY® in accordance with the instructions contained in the New Application Form, by the Sale Offer Closing Date.
If you have previously lodged an Application Form for the Offer and/ or Shortfall Offer, you are not required to do anything further unless you wish to apply for additional Shares in accordance with this Letter of Offer.
Yours sincerely,

6. Outcome of the Original Offer and Shortfall Offer
Applications were received for a total of 630,815 Shares under the original Offer and Shortfall Offer. As a consequence, the total number of Sale Shares offered to Eligible Shareholders under this Letter of Offer is 35,342,331.
As a result, if no applications are received for Sale Shares in accordance with this Letter of Offer, the Underwriter and its associates will have a relevant interest in 56,487,913 Shares (of a total issued capital of 211,055,962), giving them a voting power of 26.76%.
Mr Ben Faulkner, a director of Coppermoly, who had intended to take up his full Entitlement under the Offer, was unfortunately unable to do so due to his own personal financial circumstances. Mr Faulkner has advised Coppermoly that, for these same reasons, he will not be acquiring Sale Shares pursuant to this Letter of Offer.
Mr Maurice Gannon, a director of Coppermoly, subscribed for his full Entitlement under the Offer and has confirmed to Coppermoly that he does not intend to acquire Sale Shares pursuant to this Letter of Offer.
7. Additional information regarding Underwriter’s identity and intentions
The Underwriter has advised Coppermoly that, as at 19 August 2013, it:

-
(b) intends to support the current management and Board in its continued exploration activity on Coppermoly’s tenements located on New Britain island.
The Underwriter has also advised Coppermoly that it intends to exercise its right under the Underwriting Agreement to appoint Dr. Wanfu Huang as a director of Coppermoly in the event that it and its associates acquire at least 15% of Coppermoly’s issued share capital.
Dr. Huang is an experienced geologist based in Brisbane, Australia, who has previously held senior positions with various entities, including BHP Billiton. Dr. Huang also has extensive experience in base metals and coal.

It is important to note that Coppermoly has since released a number of announcements to the ASX and, as such, Eligible Shareholders should review all of those announcements on the ASX’s website so that they can reach an informed view about the Shares.
