Letter from the Chairman
17 August 2021
Dear Shareholder
Highfield Resources Limited Share Purchase Plan
I am pleased to invite you to participate in the offer of fully paid ordinary shares ( Shares ) in Highfield Resources Limited ACN 153 918 257 ( Highfield or Company ) under the share purchase plan established by the Company ( Offer or Plan ).
The Company is seeking to raise, in total, a maximum of $4 million under the Offer, which is not underwritten, but the Company reserves the right to increase this maximum based on overall applications received.
Overview of the Offer
The Offer provides you, as an Eligible Shareholder of Highfield (subject to certain conditions), with the opportunity to acquire a minimum of $1,000 and up to, in aggregate, $30,000 of Shares in Highfield at an issue price of $0.52 per Share ( Issue Price ) free from any brokerage or transaction costs. The Issue Price is the same as the issue price applicable to the recent placement to institutional and sophisticated investors raising approximately $15 million ( Placement ), which was announced on ASX on Monday, 9 August 2021.
The Issue Price represents:
-
(a) a 9.6% discount to $0.575 being the volume weighted average price of Shares traded on ASX over the 5 trading days up to, and including, Wednesday, 4 August 2021, which was the last day of trading of Shares on ASX prior to Highfield's announcement of the Offer; and
-
(b) an 8.0% discount to the last closing price of $0.565 per Share on Wednesday, 4 August 2021.
Highfield is seeking to raise, in total, a maximum of $4 million under the Offer. The Company reserves the right to either increase the maximum or scale back applications in its sole and absolute discretion. Should any scale back be necessary, it is the Company's intention that any scale back arrangements will be made having regard to the pro rata shareholdings of Eligible Shareholders who apply for Shares under the Offer. If applications are scaled back, excess funds will be returned to applicants without interest.
Participation in the Offer is optional and is open to Eligible Shareholders who, as at the Record Date (7:00pm (Melbourne time) on Friday, 6 August 2021), were registered as holders of fully paid ordinary shares in Highfield and whose address on the share register is in Australia or New Zealand.
If an Eligible Shareholder holds shares as a Custodian the Offer is also being made to the Custodian and, subject to certain conditions, the Custodian has the discretion to extend the Offer to the relevant beneficiaries.
Use of Funds
The Offer is being undertaken in conjunction with, and supplemental to, the Placement. In addition to funding the costs of the Offer and Placement, the proceeds of the Offer (along with the Placement) will be applied principally to fund preconstruction activities at the Muga Potash Project, including:
-
early works and ground installations;
-
process plant;
-
ramps and underground galleries; and
-
general working capital.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PLAN
==> picture [10 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
Establishment
The Plan is established under ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 and in accordance with ASIC Regulatory Guide 125 and the ASX Listing Rules. ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 grants relief from the requirement to prepare a prospectus for the offer of Shares under the Plan, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
2. Participation
The Board may make offers under the Plan to all persons who, as at the Record Date, are Eligible Shareholders.
You are an Eligible Shareholder if you were a registered holder of Shares at the Record Date (7.00pm (Melbourne time) on Friday, 6 August 2021) and had a registered address in Australia or New Zealand (as shown on Highfield's share register) unless:
-
(a) you hold shares on behalf of another person who resides outside Australia or New Zealand in which case you will not be eligible to participate in respect of the Shares of that person; or
-
(b) you are, or are acting for the account or benefit of, a U.S. Person as defined in Regulation S under the US Securities Act of 1933 (as amended) ( U.S. Person ).
Highfield has determined that it is not practical for a holder of Shares with a registered address (as shown on Highfield share register) in any jurisdiction other than Australia or New Zealand, to participate in the Offer. No Offer is made to persons who are not Eligible Shareholders.
Participation in the Offer by Eligible Shareholders is optional and is subject to these Terms and Conditions.
3. Offer
3.1
Nature of offer
The Offer is non-renounceable and Shares may be issued under the Plan only to an Eligible Shareholder.
The Offer will be made on these Terms and Conditions to each Eligible Shareholder. All Eligible Shareholders will receive the same offer, irrespective of the number of Shares which they hold on the Record Date.
3.2 Plan participation rules
The following rules apply to participation by Eligible Shareholders.
Single holders
Unless a holder is a Custodian, each Eligible Shareholder is entitled to apply under the Offer for up to a maximum amount of $30,000 worth of Shares (irrespective of whether the holder receives multiple Offer documents, for example, due to multiple registered sole or joint holdings), subject to the holder certifying that the total of the application price for the following does not exceed $30,000:
- (a) the Shares the subject of the application;
Highfield Resources Limited | Share Purchase Plan
Page 5
==> picture [135 x 55] intentionally omitted <==
-
(b) any other Shares applied for by the holder under the Plan or any similar arrangement in the 12 months before the application;
-
(c) any other Shares which the holder has instructed a Custodian to acquire on their behalf under the Plan; and
-
(d) any other Shares issued to a Custodian under an arrangement similar to the Plan in the 12 months before the application as a result of an instruction given by the holder to the Custodian or another Custodian which resulted in the holder holding beneficial interests in the Shares.
By completing and submitting an application for Shares under the Offer, a holder certifies the above.
Joint holders
Unless a holder is a Custodian, if an Eligible Shareholder is recorded with one or more other persons as a joint holder of Shares, that joint holding is considered to be a single registered holding for the purpose of the Plan and certifications or representations given by a joint holder are taken to have been given by all joint holders. Joint holders are only entitled to participate in the Offer in respect of that single holding. If the same joint holders receive more than one Offer document due to multiple identical holdings, the joint holders may only apply for one maximum amount of $30,000 worth of Shares.
Custodians
If an Eligible Shareholder holds Shares as a Custodian, the Offer is made to the Custodian and, subject to certain conditions, the Custodian has the discretion to extend the Offer to the Beneficiaries. The Custodian may apply for up to a maximum amount of $30,000 worth of Shares in respect of each Beneficiary. However, Highfield will not allocate Shares under the Offer to the Custodian unless the Custodian certifies the matters set out in a Custodian Certificate.
Custodians wishing to participate in the Offer on behalf of one or more Beneficiaries should contact Advanced Share Registry Pty Ltd on08 9389 8033 (in Australia) or +61 8 9389 803 (outside of Australia) or at [email protected] , to obtain further information on how to apply and how to obtain a Custodian Certificate. If a Custodian holds Shares jointly on behalf of two or more Beneficiaries, the $30,000 limit applies jointly in relation to those Beneficiaries as if the Custodian held the Shares on behalf of a single person.
A Custodian must not participate in the Plan if their participation in the Plan would breach ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 .
3.3
Other terms
The Offer opens at 9.00am (Melbourne time) on Tuesday, 17 August 2021. Under the Offer you may apply for Shares up to a maximum value of $30,000 and you must apply for a minimum value of $1,000 worth of Shares. The Offer will be made subject to any other terms and conditions that the Board considers reasonable and appropriate.
4. Issue Price
Shares will be issued under the Offer at an issue price of $0.52 per Share ( Issue Price ).
The Issue Price is the same as the issue price applicable to the placement to institutional and sophisticated investors to raise approximately $15 million, which was announced on ASX on Monday, 9 August 2021.
The Issue Price represents:
- (a) a 9.6%% discount to $0.575, being the volume weighted average price of Shares traded on ASX over the 5 trading days up to, and including, Wednesday, 4 August 2021 which was the last day of trading of Shares on ASX prior to Highfield's announcement of the Offer; and
Highfield Resources Limited | Share Purchase Plan
Page 6
==> picture [135 x 55] intentionally omitted <==
- (b) an 8.0% discount to the last closing price of $0.565 per Share as at 4 August 2021.
5. Risks associated with the Offer
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that the market price of Shares may change between the date of the Offer and the date on which Shares are issued under the Plan. This means it is possible that, between the time you make your application and the date on which Shares are issued under the Plan, you may be able to buy Shares at a lower price than the Issue Price. No cooling-off regime applies in relation to the application for or acquisition of Shares under the Plan.
Shareholders should acknowledged that there are also a number of other risks associated with an investment in Shares under the Offer including those described by the Company from time to time (including in any prospectus lodged with the ASX).
Highfield is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and, as a result, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules. Highfield recommends that you monitor the Share price and any Highfield announcements, which can be found on Highfield's website at
https://www.highfieldresources.com.au/#INVESTORS or in the financial pages of major Australian metropolitan newspapers, or on ASX's website at www.asx.com.au.
6. Costs of participation
No brokerage, commissions, stamp duty or other transaction costs will be payable by Eligible Shareholders in respect of the application for, and issue of, Shares under the Plan.
7. Acceptance of Offers
7.1 Payment method
If you wish to participate in the Offer, you need to do one of the following:
Option 1 – Payment by BPAY®
We strongly recommend you to apply by paying through BPAY if possible. This is the fastest and easiest way to apply and is recommended in light of potential delays to postal services caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. You do not need to return the Application Form enclosed with this document if you choose this option.
For Eligible Shareholders with an Australian bank account, you may apply for Shares under the Offer by making a BPAY® payment on the internet or by telephone by using the personalised customer reference number shown on your Application Form which is required to identify your holding.
If you are paying for Shares via BPAY® you do not need to return your Application Form, but are taken to make the certifications and representations described in these Terms and Conditions and the Application Form. However, Custodians applying for Beneficiaries must still complete and return a Custodian Certificate.
Payment must be received by no later than the Closing Date. You should be aware that your own financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regard to electronic payment, and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. It is your responsibility to ensure that funds submitted through BPAY® are received by the Closing Date.
Option 2 – Payment by cheque, bank draft or money order
If you are paying for Shares by cheque, bank draft or money order, please complete and return your Application Form, together with your cheque, bank draft or money order, by no later than the Closing Date (5.00pm (Melbourne time) on 27 August 2021), to:
Highfield Resources Limited | Share Purchase Plan
Page 7
==> picture [135 x 55] intentionally omitted <==
Highfield Resources Limited c/- Advanced Share Registry Pty Ltd 110 Stirling Highway NEDLANDS WA 6009
Cheques, bank drafts and money orders must be made payable in Australian dollars to ' Highfield Resources Limited ', crossed 'Not Negotiable' and must be drawn on an Australian bank. Cash is not accepted.
Payment will be processed on the day of receipt and as such, sufficient cleared funds must be held in your account, as cheques, bank drafts and money orders received may not be represented and may result in your application being rejected.
Shareholders in New Zealand will need to affix the appropriate postage to the reply envelope.
7.2
Further information
For the avoidance of doubt, applications must be received by the Closing Date. Applications received after that time will not be accepted.
Eligible Shareholders may apply for Shares under the Offer in parcels valued at $1,000 (1,923) shares), $2,500 (4,807 shares), $5,000 (9,615 shares), $10,000 (19,230 shares), $15,000 (28,846 shares), $20,000 (38,461 shares) or $30,000 (57,692 shares).
In the absence of a scale back in accordance with section 8 below, Highfield will divide the application money of an Eligible Shareholder by the Issue Price in order to determine the number of Shares for which they have applied (rounded down to nearest whole number of Shares).
If Highfield receives an amount that does not equal one of the amounts specified above, the Company may either:
-
(a) reject the application and refund in full the application money (without interest) to the Eligible Shareholder; or
-
(b) apply the dollar amount of the payment to the highest designated parcel that is less than the amount of the payment and refund the excess application money (without interest) to the Eligible Shareholder.
If you have more than one holding of Shares and consequently receive more than one Application Form, when applying for Shares in respect of one of those shareholdings you must only use the customer reference number specific to that shareholding as set out in the relevant Application Form. Do not use the same customer reference number for more than one of your shareholdings. This can result in your application monies being applied to your application in respect of only one of your shareholdings (with the result that any application in respect of your remaining shareholdings will not be recognised as valid).
If one or more Application Forms are received under the Plan from an Eligible Shareholder in relation to Shares with a value greater than $30,000 in any 12 month period, the Shareholder will be issued with the maximum number of Shares permitted by the Plan and the terms of the Offer. Any excess subscription monies will be refunded to the Eligible Shareholder (without interest) as soon as reasonably practicable following allocation.
If an Eligible Shareholder subscribes for an amount which is not exactly divisible by the Issue Price, in calculating the number of Shares to be issued, all fractional entitlements will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares. Highfield will not refund any resulting small excess in subscription monies (i.e. $5 or less) which will be deemed to form part of the aggregate issue price for the Shares.
Payments must be made in Australian dollars.
The minimum application for Shares under the Offer is $1,000.
Applications and payments may not be withdrawn or revoked.

7.3 Board discretion
Despite any other provision of these Terms and Conditions, the Board may, at its sole and absolute discretion, accept, reject, correct or amend your application under the Offer, including, without limitation, if:
-
(a) the Company considers that the application (whether alone or in conjunction with other applications) does not comply, or it is not reasonably satisfied that the application (whether alone or in conjunction with other applications) complies, with the requirements of ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 or any other requirements in the ASX Listing Rules or the Act;
-
(b) the Application Form is incomplete, incorrectly completed or accompanied by a cheque, bank draft or money order which is not paid in full on first presentation;
-
(c) an application is received after the Closing Date;
-
(d) an application is made by a Custodian and does not include the required Custodian Certificate;
-
(e) the BPAY® payment received in respect of your application is for less than the full, requisite amount; or
-
(f) the Board is not reasonably satisfied that you are an Eligible Shareholder.
8. Scale back
The amount that each Eligible Shareholder can apply for under the Plan is capped at $30,000.
The SPP aims to raise a maximum of $4 million, subject to the Board's discretion to increase this maximum amount in its sole and absolute discretion.
Subject to complying with applicable laws and ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 , Highfield reserves the right to close the Offer early or to scale back applications in its sole and absolute discretion.
The aggregate maximum number of Shares that will be issued under the Plan will not exceed the lesser of:
-
(a) 30% of the Shares already on issue (being the applicable maximum specified in Exception 5 in ASX Listing Rule 7.2); and
-
(b) the number such that the total amount raised by the issue of the Shares under the Offer equals $4 million, subject to the Board's discretion to increase this amount in its sole and absolute discretion.
If applications from Eligible Shareholders for participation in the Plan in aggregate exceed this limit or any lower limit determined by the Board, the Board will scale back applications to the extent and in the manner that the Board considers appropriate. Should any scale back be necessary, it is the Company's intention that any scale back arrangements will be made having regard to the pro-rata shareholdings of Eligible Shareholders as at the Record Date who apply for Shares under the Plan.
If there is a scale back, Eligible Shareholders may receive less Shares than the number of Shares for which they applied. If a scale back produces a fractional number of Shares when applied to a particular parcel, the number of Shares allocated to an Eligible Shareholder will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares.
In the event of a scale back, the difference between the application monies received, and the number of Shares allocated under the Offer multiplied by the Issue Price, will be refunded to you, without interest, as soon as reasonably practicable following allocation.

All Shares issued under the Plan will rank equally in all respects with all other Shares on issue as at the date of issue and will carry the same voting rights, dividend rights and other entitlements as those Shares.
