Dear shareholder,

On 29 June 2011, Robe Australia Limited ( Robe Australia ) announced a non-renounceable rights issue of fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of 0.5 cents per new share ( Rights Issue ), on the basis of 2 new shares with an attaching 1:1 free option exercisable at 1 cent on or before 31 December 2014 for every 3 fully paid ordinary shares held.

The Rights Issue is made under a prospectus dated 29 June 2011 ( Prospectus ) and lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission ( ASIC ) and ASX Limited ( ASX ) on that date. The Rights Issue will only be open to existing holders of ordinary shares in Robe Australia with registered addresses in Australia or New Zealand. Participation in the Rights Issue will not be extended to Robe Australia shareholders with registered addresses outside Australia and New Zealand ( Ineligible Overseas Shareholders ).

Rights Issue

The Rights Issue comprises an offer of fully paid ordinary shares to existing holders of ordinary shares as at the record date of 5:00 pm (Melbourne time) on 7 July 2011 ( Record Date ). That offer will be made in the Prospectus. Under the Rights Issue, 2 new shares with an attaching 1:1 free option exercisable at 1 cent on or before 31 December 2014 will be offered for every 3 fully paid ordinary shares held by a Robe Australia shareholder at the Record Date. If you are an Ineligible Overseas Shareholder, an offer under the Rights Issue will not be made to you.

On completion of the Rights Issue, Robe Australia will issue up to approximately 182.4 million new ordinary shares to raise up to approximately $0.91 million before costs and expenses and up to approximately 182.4 million new options.

The Rights Issue is non-renounceable. This means that you will not have the opportunity to sell your entitlements under the Rights Issue on ASX, or transfer your entitlement to another person.

The new shares issued under the Rights Issue will rank equally with existing fully paid ordinary shares in Robe Australia.

There is one holder of options to acquire fully paid ordinary shares in the Robe Australia ( Optionholder ). The Optionholder must exercise the options by the Record Date in order to participate in the Rights Issue.

The funds raised pursuant to the Rights Issue (net of costs and expenses) will be used to supplement the working capital of Robe Australia to enable it to evaluate investment proposals to indentify an appropriate investment for Robe Australia.

The Rights Issue is underwritten.

Prospectus

Robe Australia shareholders with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand will be forwarded a copy of the Prospectus. You should read the entire Prospectus carefully before deciding whether to acquire securities under the Rights Issue.

You will also be entitled to apply for new shares and new options which are not taken up under the Rights Issue in addition to your entitlement ( Additional New Shares and Options ). Any Additional New Shares and Options will be placed at the discretion of the directors in accordance with the listing rules of ASX. A shareholder is not guaranteed to receive any Additional New Shares and Options.

Ineligible Overseas Shareholders

The Rights Issue is not extended to Ineligible Overseas Shareholders (ie. Robe Australia shareholders with registered addresses outside Australia and New Zealand). If you are an Ineligible Overseas Shareholder, an offer under the Rights Issue will not be made to you. To the extent that a person holds Robe Australia shares on behalf of another person resident outside Australia or New Zealand, it is that person’s responsibility to ensure that any acceptance complies with all applicable foreign laws.

The following table shows the effect that the Rights Issue will have on the issued share capital of Robe Australia (assuming all the shares offered under the Rights Issue are taken up or subsequently placed):
