Dear Shareholder,
NON-RENOUNCEABLE RIGHTS ISSUE - NOTIFICATION TO NON-QUALIFYING FOREIGN SHAREHOLDERS
On 28 November and 8 December 2014, Geopacific Resources Limited (Company) announced a capital raising comprised of:
- a placement to institutional and sophisticated investors to raise approximately \$2.5 million (before costs) $(a)$ (Placement); and
- a fully underwritten non-renounceable rights issue (Rights Issue Offer) of one (1) fully paid ordinary share (New $(b)$ Share) for every six (6) existing shares held as at 5.00pm (WST) on 17 December 2014 to shareholders with a registered address in Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore and Indonesia to raise approximately \$3 million (before costs).
On 8 December 2014, the Company completed the Placement and raised a total of \$2.5 million by the issue of up to 43,630,438 Shares at \$0.0575 per Share.
The Company has decided that it is unreasonable to make offers under the Rights Issue Offer to shareholders with a registered address outside Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore and Indonesia (Non-Qualifying Foreign Shareholders), having regard to the number of such shareholders, their holdings and the compliance costs required to offer the New Shares under the Rights Issue Offer to those shareholders.
Unfortunately, since you are a Non-Qualifying Foreign Shareholder, no offer is being made to you and the prospectus prepared by the Company in relation to the Rights Issue Offer will not be sent to you.
This letter is not an offer to issue New Shares to you, nor an invitation for you to apply for New Shares.
You do not have to take any further action in relation to the Rights Issue Offer.
Should you have any questions regarding the Rights Issue Offer you may contact the Company on +61 8 6143 1823.
Yours sincerely,
John Lewis Company Secretary Geopacific Resources Limited
