Dear Share Holder
Notice of Non-Renounceable Rights Issue to Overseas Holders
On 04 November 2015, Eclipse Metals Limited ( Eclipse or the Company ) announced a Non-Renounceable Rights Issue.
BOARD Carl Popal Executive Chairman Rodney Dale Non-Executive Director Craig Hall Non-Executive Director
COMPANY SECRETARY
Eryn Kestel
After considering the likely compliance costs, the number of shareholders and the number of Shares, the Company has restricted the offer of Shares under the rights issue to those shareholders with a registered address in Australia and New Zealand only.
As your registered address is outside Australia and New Zealand, unfortunately no offer under the rights issue will be made to you and the Offer Document for the rights issue will not be sent to you.
The distribution of the Offer Document in jurisdictions outside Australia and New Zealand may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of the Offer Document should seek advice on and observe any such restrictions. No action has been taken by the Company to register or qualify the New Shares or otherwise permit a public offering of the New Shares in any jurisdiction outside of Australia and New Zealand.
Pursuant to Section 615 of the Corporations Act 2001, the Company will appoint a nominee approved by ASIC ( Nominee ) to sell the Shares to which Ineligible Shareholders who accept the Offer are entitled to. The Nominee will have the absolute and sole discretion to determine the timing and price at which the Shares will be sold and the manner of any such sale.
Any interest earned on the proceeds of the sale of these Shares will firstly be applied against expenses of such sale, including brokerage and any balance will accrues to the relevant Ineligible Shareholders as described above.
The net proceeds of the sale of these Shares will then be forwarded by the Company as soon as practicable to the Ineligible Shareholders, in proportion to their share of such Shares (after deducting brokerage commission and other expenses). If any such net proceeds of sale are less than the reasonable costs that would be incurred by the Company for distributing those proceeds, such proceeds may be retained by the Company.

Notwithstanding that the Nominee must sell Shares, Ineligible Shareholders may nevertheless receive no net proceeds if the costs of the sale are greater than the sale proceeds. In this regard, the Nominee will not be required to sell Ineligible Shareholders’ Shares at a particular price.
Eclipse thanks its Shareholders for their continued support.
