Holders of Shares that were registered on the Company share register as a holder of Shares at 7:00pm (AEST) on 9 July 2021 ( Record Date ) with an address in Australia or New Zealand are deemed eligible shareholders ( Eligible Shareholders ) and may participate in the Plan.

If you hold Shares on behalf of persons who reside outside Australia or New Zealand, or are in the United States, then you are not an Eligible Shareholder and are not entitled to participate in the Plan.

Further details of how Custodians, trustees and beneficiaries are treated under the Plan are provided below.

5 JOINT HOLDERS / JOINT BENEFICIARIES

If two or more persons are registered on the Company share register as jointly holding Shares, then they are taken to be a single registered holder of Shares and a certification given by any of them is taken to be a certification given by all of them. If the same joint holders receive more than one offer under the Plan due to multiple identical holdings, then the joint holders may only apply in aggregate up to the maximum amount of $30,000.

6 FOREIGN OFFER RESTRICTIONS

The Plan may not be released or distributed in any country other than Australia or New Zealand. The Plan does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, securities in any other country, other than Australia or New Zealand. In particular, any securities described in this document have not been, and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act of 1933 (as amended) and may not be offered or sold in the United States except in transactions exempt from, or not subject to, registration under the US Securities Act and applicable US state securities laws.

7 NEW ZEALAND

The New Shares offered under the Plan are not being offered or sold to the public within New Zealand other than to existing Shareholders of the Company with registered addresses in New Zealand and to whom the Offer is being made in reliance on the Financial Markets Conduct (Incidental Offers) Exemption Notice 2016 (New Zealand) (as amended by the Financial Markets Conduct (Incidental Offers) Exemption Amendment Notice 2018 ).

8 HOW MUCH CAN YOU INVEST?

Eligible Shareholders may apply for a maximum of $30,000 and a minimum of $1,000 worth of New Shares under the SPP.

9 NEW SHARE ISSUE PRICE

The above limitations apply even if you receive more than one Application Form, or if you hold Shares in more than one capacity. It is your responsibility to ensure that the total cost of any New Shares issued to you under the SPP does not exceed $30,000 in aggregate.

Note: Eligible Shareholders are encouraged to submit their Application Monies early as the Directors reserve the right to close the SPP early if oversubscribed.

If you apply for New Shares under the Plan, you are applying for a certain value of New Shares at the issue price of $0.075 cents, rather than a certain number of Shares. Fractional Shares will not be issued, and any fraction of a Share will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of Shares.

New Shares will be issued at $0.075 cents, each which represents a discount of:

  • 22.7% to the closing price of Sayona’s shares on 7 July 2021, which was the last trading day prior to the date of the announcement of the SPP;

  • 23.4% to the Sayona 52-week high share price of $0.098 achieved on 6 July 2021; and

  • 19.1% to the volume weighted average price of Sayona shares over the five trading days prior to the date of the announcement of the SPP on 12 July 2021.

You should note that the Sayona share price may rise or fall between the date of this Offer and the date when New Shares are allotted and issued to you under the SPP. This means that the price you pay per New Share under this Offer may be either higher or lower than the Sayona share price quoted on ASX at the time of the Offer or at the time the New Shares are issued and allotted to you under the SPP.

The Board recommends that you obtain your own financial advice in relation to the Offer under the SPP and consider price movements of Shares in the Company prior to making an Application under this SPP.

10 APPLICATION FORMS

12 RAISING AMOUNT AND SCALEBACK

The Plan is targeting to raise $5 million, however the Company reserves absolute discretion regarding the final amount raised under the Plan. If total demand for the SPP exceeds $5 million, then the Company reserves the right to close the SPP early and scale back Applications or elect to increase the amount raised (subject to the maximum amount permitted under the ASX Listing Rules). When determining the amount (if any) by which to scale back an Application, the Company may take into account a number of factors, including the size of an applicant’s shareholding, the extent to which Eligible Shareholders have sold or bought additional Shares after the Record Date and the date an Application was made. Eligible Shareholders are therefore encouraged to submit their Applications early.

If there is a scale back, then you may not receive all the New Shares for which you have applied. If the Company rejects or scales-back an Application or purported Application, then the Company will promptly return to the Shareholder the relevant Application monies, without interest. If the amount received is less than the minimum Application amount of $1,000 then Sayona will not issue any New Shares to you and the money received from you will be refunded without interest.

If you hold Shares as a trustee or nominee for another person or persons but are not a Custodian as defined above, then you cannot participate for beneficiaries in the manner described above. In this case, the rules for multiple single holdings (above) apply.

21 MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

The Company may modify or terminate the Plan, or waive strict compliance with any of the Terms and Conditions, at any time and any modification, waiver or termination is binding on all Eligible Shareholders even where the Company does not notify you of that event.

In the event the Plan is terminated before the issue of New Shares, all application monies will be returned to you, without interest, by direct credit to your nominated account as recorded on the Company’s share register or by cheque to your address as shown on the Company’s share register as soon as practicable.

Without limiting the above, the Company may issue to any person fewer New Shares than the person applied for under the Plan if the issue of the New Shares applied for would contravene any applicable law or the Listing Rules of ASX or ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plan) Instrument 2019/547.

22 SIC CORPORATIONS (SHARE AND INTEREST PURCHASE PLAN) INSTRUMENT 2019/547 COMPLIANCE

The SPP offer of New Shares is made in accordance with ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plan) Instrument 2019/547, which grants relief from the requirement to prepare a prospectus for the SPP offer of New Shares.

23 DISPUTE RESOLUTION

The Company may, in any manner it thinks fit, settle any difficulties, anomalies or disputes which may arise in connection with or by reason of the operation of the Plan, whether generally or in relation to any participant, Application or New Shares. The decision of the Company in this respect will be conclusive and binding on all shareholders and other persons to whom that determination relates.

The Company reserves the right to waive strict compliance with any provision of these Terms and Conditions. The powers of the Company under these conditions may be exercised by the Directors or any delegate of the Directors.

24 GOVERNING LAW

The Terms and Conditions and the Offer under the Plan are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia.

25 IMPORTANT INFORMATION
