IMPORTANT INFORMATION PLEASE READ AND CONSIDER CAREFULLY
Dear Option Holder
Re: Dividend and Possible Early Exercise of your Options in Fat Prophets Australia Fund Limited ("the Fat Fund")
On 22 February 2007, the Fat Fund reported an after tax profit for the half year ended 31 December 2006 of \$1,715,470. The Fat Fund declared a 2 cent per share fully franked interim dividend as well as a 1 cent per share fully franked special dividend payable to all ordinary shareholders recorded on the Fat Fund's share register at 30 March 2007.
As an option holder, you will NOT receive this dividend unless you exercise your options (by payment of \$1.00 per option) prior to 30 March 2007.
For certain option holders, it may be sensible to exercise Fat Fund options early to receive the upcoming 3 cent per share dividend (interim plus special) and all future dividends. While it is not compulsory to exercise your options early, your Directors strongly encourage you to seek immediate professional advice if you are in doubt as to what to do regarding your options.
Should you wish to exercise your options, please complete the attached Option Exercise Form and return it together with your cheque in the enclosed reply paid envelope or send it to:
Fat Prophets Australia Fund c/- Registries Limited PO Box R67 Royal Exchange NSW 1223
Your cheque should be made payable to "Fat Prophets Australia Fund Ltd."
To be eligible to receive the recently declared 3 cent per share dividend, your Option Exercise Form and cheque must be received prior to 30 March 2007.
If you require further information, please contact Steve O'Hanna, Senior Fund Manager, Fat Prophets Australia Fund on 02 8258 0015 or [email protected]
Kind regards

If between the date of issue and date of exercise of an Option the Company makes one or more rights issues (being a pro rata issue of Shares in the capital of the Company that is not a bonus issue), the exercise price of Options on issue will be reduced in respect of each rights issue according to the following formula:
