The Board of Directors of FSA Group Limited ACN 093 855 791 ( FSA ) would like to invite you to participate in FSA’s Share Purchase Plan ( Plan ).
Summary of the Plan
The Plan provides shareholders on the Company’s register at the Record Date with an opportunity to subscribe for $2,000, $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000 in new shares at 37 cents per share in FSA at an attractive discount to the market price in the period prior to the date of this Plan. The Board has structured the Plan to encourage our loyal, smaller shareholders to apply and increase their participation in FSA.
“The exiting from the industry of non‐bank and non‐conforming lenders has opened up an opportunity for us to expand our home loan lending division. Our focus over the coming year will be to secure additional funding for the home loan lending division, expand our product range and grow business volumes. The proceeds from the Plan will strengthen our balance sheet and are proposed to be applied to growing our home lending division, provide working capital and meeting the costs of the Plan,” said Executive Director Tim Odillo Maher.
It is only shareholders of FSA with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand (as set out in the FSA shareholder register on the Record Date) who are registered as at 7pm (AEDST) on 6 October 2009 who are afforded the opportunity to participate in the Plan. Shareholders not registered as at this date will not receive an offer under the Plan. The rights of shareholders eligible to participate under this plan are not transferable.
The Company proposes a maximum raising of $1,000,000 under the Plan, comprising the issue of a maximum of 2,702,703 new shares. The Plan is not underwritten.

If the maximum amount under the Plan is raised ($1,000,000), the proposed use of the funds raised is as follows:
-
to provide funds for the growth of the Company’s home lending division;
-
provide working capital; and
-
meeting the estimated costs of the Plan ‐ $40,000.
Terms of the Plan
The terms and conditions of the Plan are outlined in the enclosed document. By making an application to purchase shares under the Plan, you will have agreed to be bound by those terms and conditions. The right to participate in this offer under the Plan is available exclusively to persons who were registered as holders of fully paid ordinary shares in FSA at 7pm (AEDST) on the record date of 6 October 2009 and whose registered address is in Australia, New Zealand or in any other jurisdiction where, in the opinion of the Directors of FSA, it is lawful and reasonably practical for FSA to offer and issue shares under this Plan.
Eligible shareholders are entitled to apply for a maximum of $15,000 of new shares, at 37 cents per new share, under the Plan.
You may apply only for shares in one of the following amounts:
-
5,406 shares for $2,000;
-
13,514 shares for $5,000;
-
27,028 shares for $10,000; or
-
40,541 shares for $15,000.
The Subscription Price will be $0.37 (37 cents) per share. Compared with the Market Price over the last five days on which trading of FSA’s shares on the ASX were recorded prior to the announcement of the Plan (on 30 September 2009), the Subscription Price represents a discount of 9% to the weighted average Market Price and a 12% discount to the average closing Market Price over that period.
The closing Market Price of FSA’s shares over the last five days of trading prior to the announcement of the Plan are as follows:
| Date | (Closing) Market Price |

To enable you to properly consider the offer under the Plan, set out below is a brief price history of the trading price of FSA’s shares on the ASX over the period commencing 1 July, 2009 and ending on 30 September, 2009:
| High | Low | Weighted Average |
|---|---|---|
| $0.465 | $0.365 | $0.419 |
Participation in the Plan is entirely at your discretion but the Plan is non‐renounceable which means you cannot transfer your right to purchase shares under the Plan to anyone else.
On the basis of the issue price of shares under the Plan, the Directors recommend the Plan to shareholders. All of the Directors intend, in respect of their own shareholdings, to apply for new shares under the Plan.
As detailed in the Plan, the Directors intend to accept subscriptions for shares on a “first come, first served basis” . The application period will close at 5.00pm (AEDST) on 6 November 2009. Therefore, if you wish to apply for any shares under the Plan, you should follow the instructions outlined in the attached Application Form so payment is received at our Share Registry by that date in cleared funds. Payment may be made by cheque, bank draft or BPAY[®] .
It is proposed that the following timetable apply in respect of the Plan:
| Record Date of the Plan | Tue 6 October 2009 |
|---|---|
| Opening Date of the Plan | Fri 9 October 2008 |
| Closing Date of the Plan | Fri 6 November 2009 |
| Issue and Allotment of new shares under the Plan | Thu 12 November 2009 |
The above timetable is indicative only. FSA reserves the right to vary any of the key dates above, including the Closing Date and the Issue Date, without further notice.
