Dear Shareholder
IMPORTANT NOTICE - SALE OF YOUR MINORITY SHAREHOLDING OF DIGITALX LIMITED SHARES
I am writing to advise you that, in accordance with clause 7 of its Constitution, DigitalX Limited ( DigitalX or the Company ) will be undertaking a minority holder share sale for holders holding a parcel of DigitalX shares ( Shares ) of less than $500 ( Minority Holding Sale ).
Based on the Company’s share register as at the Record Date of 11 August 2017, you have been determined to be a holder of a parcel of shares with a market value of less than $500 ( Minority Holding ). Unless you advise the Company by 5.00pm (Perth time) on 29 September 2017 ( Retention Date ) that you do NOT wish to sell your Minority Holding, DigitalX intends to sell your Minority Holding in accordance with the Company’s Constitution. However, if on the Retention Date the value of your parcel of Shares has increased such that you no longer have a Minority Holding (e.g. due to an increase in the Company’s share price or where you acquire additional Shares), your Shares will not be sold.
By undertaking the Minority Holding Sale, the Company expects to reduce the administrative costs associated with maintaining a large number of very small holdings.
Summary of key dates
Announcement to ASX: 11 August 2017 Minority Holding Sale Record Date: 5.00pm (Perth time), 11 August 2017 Letters sent to shareholders holding a Minority Holding: 17 August 2017 Retention Date (last date for receipt of Notice of Retention Form): 5.00pm (Perth time), 29 September 2017
In accordance with the Company’s Constitution, if by the Retention Date you have not advised the Company that you wish to retain your Shares (and you otherwise continue to hold a Minority Holding), your Shares will be transferred to the Company, who will arrange, through its agent, to dispose of those Shares in the ordinary course of trading on ASX. The Company will pay all brokerage or other costs associated with the Minority Holding Sale, save for any taxation costs incurred or associated by any individual shareholder.
To retain your holding of Shares
If you wish to retain your Minority Holding of Shares (i.e. you do NOT wish for your Shares to be sold through the Minority Holding Sale) you must complete and return the enclosed Notice of Retention Form so that it is received by 5.00pm (Perth time) on the Retention Date, of 29 September 2017 .
You may also ensure that your Minority Holding is NOT sold by:
-
(a) purchasing additional shares such that your shareholding at the Retention Date is at least $500; or
-
(b) if you have multiple holdings of Shares under different holder numbers (HINs/SRNs), consolidating these under
-
a single HIN/SRN such that your combined shareholding at the Retention Date is at least $500.
916CR_0_Sample_CA/000001/000001
If you do not take any action by the Retention Date your Shares will be sold.
The sale price will be determined once all the shares under the Minority Holding Sale are sold. Each shareholder will receive their proportionate share of the sale proceeds for all Shares sold through the Minority Holding Sale. Payment will be sent to you following settlement of the sale or otherwise as soon as is practicable. Under the Company’s Constitution, the sale price for the Shares will occur during the ordinary course of trading on the securities exchange conducted by the ASX.
Under the Constitution, the Company:
-
(a) is authorised the sell all of your Shares without any transaction costs being incurred by you (excluding any tax consequences from the sale which remains each shareholder’s responsibility); and
-
(b) will pay you the sale proceeds by cheque to the address on the Company’s share register, following settlement of the sale of all Shares through the Minority Holding Sale.
If you need help deciding what to do or if you require information regarding the financial, legal or tax consequences of participating in the Minority Holding Sale, you should consult your legal, financial or taxation adviser.
You can also contact DigitalX on 08 9322 1587 if you have any queries about lodging your form or the operation of the Minority Holding Sale.
Yours sincerely
