UNMARKETABLE PARCEL PROGRAM
Elixir Petroleum Limited (“Elixir”) has implemented an Unmarketable Parcel Program to provide an opportunity for eligible small shareholders to either sell their shareholding without incurring any brokerage or handling costs, and in the case of Australian and New Zealand based small shareholders, the opportunity to instead top-up their shareholding, again without incurring brokerage or handling costs.
A small shareholder is a holder of Elixir shares with a market value of less than $500 as at 22 December 2011. Elixir is undertaking this program to reduce the significant administrative cost of managing small shareholdings.
The closing date for small shareholders to elect to either retain, sell or top-up their shareholding in Elixir is 5pm (AEDT) on Tuesday, 14 February 2012.
Details of the Unmarketable Parcel Programme are contained in the attached letters which were sent to eligible small shareholders on Thursday, 29 December 2011.
Yours faithfully,
ELIXIR PETROLEUM LIMITED

Dear Shareholder,
Unmarketable Parcel Program
Elixir Petroleum Limited ( Elixir ) is pleased to provide you with an opportunity to sell or increase your shareholding without incurring brokerage or handling costs. This program is open to all Shareholders who at 7pm (AEDT) on Thursday, 22 December 2011 ( Record Date ) held fully-paid ordinary shares in Elixir with a value of less than $500 ( Unmarketable Parcel ).
Our records show that at the Record Date you held an Unmarketable Parcel of Elixir shares and hence you are eligible to participate in this program. This program closes at 5pm (AEDT) on Tuesday, 14 February 2012 ( Closing Date ).
The Program is being conducted to enable Elixir to reduce the significant administrative cost of managing small shareholdings. It will enable investors with unmarketable holdings, who may find it difficult or expensive to dispose of those shares through normal means, to dispose of their holdings in a cost effective manner. Alternatively, the Top-up Facility provides an opportunity for shareholders to increase their shareholding in Elixir above an Unmarketable Parcel without incurring brokerage or handling costs.
Information in this letter and in the enclosed documents will assist you in making one of three choices:
-
Option 1 - Sell your holding (In which case, do nothing ) Option 2 - Increase your holding by buying either $500, $1,000 or $2,000 worth of additional shares (Use the Top-up Facility by completing sections ‘D’ and ‘E’ and make payment)
-
Option 3 - Retain your holding (Complete Sections ‘C’ and ‘E’ of the enclosed form)
You can only choose one option. You may elect to participate in the Unmarketable Parcel Sale Facility (Option 1) or the Top-up Facility (Option 2), or you may choose Option 3 (retain your Unmarketable Parcel if you return the Share Retention Form).
Option 1 - Sell your holding (DO NOTHING)
If you do nothing, your Elixir shares will be pooled with other Elixir shares that are to be sold under the Facility and will be sold on the Australian Stock Exchange ( ASX ) as soon as practicable after the Closing Date. The gross proceeds from sale will be remitted to you as soon as practical, and in any event by no later than Friday, 2 March 2012.
If your shares are in a CHESS holding and are to be sold under the Unmarketable Parcel Sale Facility, you should note that Elixir may without further notice sell the relevant shares, or initiate a holding adjustment to move those shares to an issuer sponsored holding for the purposes of the sale.
Elixir will bear all brokerage and handling fees related to sale of shares under this facility. The price that will be paid to shareholders for each share sold through the Unmarketable Parcel Sale Facility will be the average price received for the sale of all shares sold on the ASX under the Unmarketable Parcel
Level 20, 77 St George’s Terrace Perth, Western Australia 6000 Tel: +61 8 9440 2650 | Fax: +61 8 9440 2699 Website: www.elixirpetroleum.com | ABN 51 108 230 995
Sale Facility and hence, may be more or less than the actual price that is received for your particular parcel of shares. This average price will be determined by dividing the total proceeds from the sale of all shares sold under this Program for all participating holders by the total number of shares sold under this Program. Sales will be conducted after the Application Period, namely, on market from 14 February to 24 February 2012.
Option 2 - Increase your holding (USE TOP-UP FACILITY AND MAKE PAYMENT)
If you wish to acquire additional Elixir shares without incurring brokerage or handling costs, the Top-up Facility enables you to either purchase $500, $1,000 or $2,000 worth of additional shares (please see the Application Form attached).
Payment must be made by no later than 5pm (AEDT) on Tuesday, 14 February 2011 in either of the following two ways:
-
Paying the relevant amount directly via BPAY® on the internet or by telephone; or
-
Completing and returning sections ‘D’ and ‘E’ slip which are part of the enclosed Top-up Facility Application Form, together with your cheque, bank draft or money order drawn on an Australian Bank for the relevant amount in Australian dollars.
After receiving your completed Top-up Facility Application Form and associated payment, your payment will be pooled with money paid by other Elixir shareholders to purchase shares under the Top-up Facility and will be used to purchase Elixir Shares on ASX. Elixir Shares may be purchased by a single trade or multiple trades at a single price or at multiple prices and on a single day or multiple days after the Closing Date.
Elixir will bear all brokerage and handling fees related to purchases under this facility. The price that will be paid by shareholders for each share purchased through the Top-up Facility will be the average price paid for all shares purchased on ASX under the Top-up Facility, rounded down to the nearest whole number (even if the individual prices paid for particular purchases is more of less than this average price). The market price of Elixir shares is subject to change from time to time, accordingly, the number of shares purchased for you will depend on a number of factors.
The applicable number of Elixir shares to which you are entitled will be allocated to your holding as soon as practicable after the shares are acquired, and in any event, by no later than Friday, 2 March 2012.
Please note, you cannot participate in both the Top-up Facility and the Sale Facility.
Option 3 - Retain your holding (COMPLETE AND RETURN SECTIONS ‘C’ and ‘E’)
If you wish to retain your existing Unmarketable Parcel of Elixir shares you must complete the Share Retention Form with Section B marked with a cross, your contact details in case we need to speak with you and sign and date the form. Return the signed Share Retention Form so that it is received by Computershare by 5pm (AEDT) on Tuesday, 14 February 2012.
Important Notice
Elixir does not make any recommendation or provide any advice regarding whether to retain your shares, to acquire additional shares under the Top-up Facility or to permit them to be sold under the Unmarketable Parcel Sale Facility. You should consider seeking independent financial and taxation advice before making a decision as to whether or not to participate in this program.
