IPH Share Purchase Plan
2 December 2015
Dear Shareholder,
On 25 November 2015, IPH Limited ( IPH ) announced to ASX that it had successfully raised $60 million from an institutional placement of approximately 8.2 million IPH fully paid ordinary shares ( Shares ) to new and existing investors at an issue price of $7.30 per Share ( Placement ), representing a discount of 7.6% to the closing Share price on Monday, 23 November 2015 and a 2.6% discount to the 10‐day volume weighted average price.
The Board recognises that a number of IPH’s loyal shareholders did not have an opportunity to participate in the Placement. Therefore on behalf of the Board, I am pleased to offer you the opportunity to participate in the IPH Share Purchase Plan ( SPP ). The SPP provides you with the ability to acquire Shares for a total subscription price of up to $14,994.20 at an issue price of $7.30 (being the issue price under the Placement) ( Issue Price ) without paying any brokerage costs, commissions or other transaction costs (subject to any scale‐back at IPH's absolute discretion).
The proceeds of the SPP will primarily be used to provide additional financial flexibility and strengthen IPH’s balance sheet to underpin the next phase of acquisitions in its pipeline.
Issue Price
The market price of the Shares may rise or fall between the date of the offer under the SPP and the date when the new Shares are issued. At the time of issue, the Issue Price of $7.30 per Share may be higher or lower than the price of Shares trading on the ASX.
Participation in the SPP is optional and is open to eligible IPH shareholders ( Shareholders ) who were holders of Shares at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on Monday, 23 November 2015 ( Record Date ) with a registered address on the register in Australia, New Zealand or Singapore. Certain eligible Shareholders who are custodians holding Shares on behalf of certain beneficiaries are also invited to participate in the SPP on the terms and conditions set out in this booklet ( SPP Booklet ). IPH will not issue new Shares to an applicant if those Shares, either alone or in conjunction with the issue of Shares under other applications received by IPH, would contravene any law or the ASX Listing Rules.
New Shares issued under the SPP will rank equally with existing Shares from the date of issue.
Scale‐back
IPH has the absolute discretion to scale‐back applications. In the event of a scale‐back, you may be allotted Shares to a value which is significantly less than the parcel for which you applied. Should this happen, the balance of any application monies, in excess of $1.00, not applied to acquire Shares under the SPP will be refunded to you, without interest. IPH will make an announcement on the ASX on the outcome of the SPP and the number of Shares to be issued on or around Wednesday, 23 December 2015. The new Shares will be issued on Tuesday, 29 December 2015.
IPH Share Purchase Plan (SPP)

Parcel of Shares and rounding
The SPP enables eligible Shareholders to acquire new Shares to a value of $992.80 (136 Shares), $2,496.60 (342 Shares), $4,993.20 (684 Shares), $7,497.10 (1,027 Shares), $9,993.70 (1,369 Shares), $12,497.60 (1,712 Shares) or $14,994.20 (2,054 Shares), free from brokerage and other transaction costs. In each case, the number of Shares to be issued will be determined by dividing the value of Shares validly applied for by the Issue Price. Refer to the SPP application form ( Application Form ) for the numbers of Shares applicable for each investment value.
If you make a payment for an amount not equal to $992.80, $2,496.60, $4,993.20, $7,497.10, $9,993.70, $12,497.60 or $14,994.20, IPH may round down the dollar amount of Shares you are applying for to the next lowest parcel at its discretion and refund any excess application money, in excess of $1.00, without interest. If the amount received is less than $992.80, IPH will not allot any new Shares to you and the money received from you will be refunded, without interest.
How to participate in the SPP
The SPP opens at 10.00am (Sydney time) on Wednesday, 2 December 2015. If you are an eligible Shareholder and wish to participate in the offer, you may apply for Shares in the amount of $992.80, $2,496.60, $4,993.20, $7,497.10, $9,993.70, $12,497.60 or $14,994.20 at an issue price of $7.30 per Share.
Please ensure you send your payment (whether by BPAY ® or by cheque, bank draft or money order) and Application Form, allowing enough time for payment, to be received by 5.00pm (Sydney time) on Wednesday, 16 December 2015.
I encourage you to read this SPP Booklet carefully and in its entirety before making a decision on whether to participate in the SPP. This SPP Booklet is not financial advice, and has been prepared without taking into account the objectives, financial situation or the needs of individuals. Before making an investment decision, you should consider the appropriateness of the information having regard to your own objectives, financial situation and needs and seek such legal, financial and/or taxation advice as necessary or appropriate. A cooling‐off regime does not apply in relation to the acquisition of Shares under the SPP.

SPP Terms and Conditions
Important Notice
The offer to purchase Shares under the SPP is not a recommendation to acquire Shares. If you are in any doubt about the SPP, you should consider obtaining professional financial and/or taxation advice to assist you in determining whether or not and the extent to which, you wish to participate in the SPP (taking into account your own financial situation, needs and objectives). Nothing in these terms and conditions ( SPP Terms and Conditions ), the Application Form or any other accompanying documentation constitutes investment or financial product advice or is intended to influence your decision whether or not to participate in the SPP. If you apply to participate in the SPP by making a BPAY® payment or completing and returning the Application Form with a cheque, bank draft or money order, you are accepting the risk that the market price of the Shares may change. This means it is possible that, between the time you make your application and up to or after the issue date, you ‑ may be able to buy Shares at a lower price than the Issue Price. No cooling off regime applies in relation to the acquisition of Shares under the SPP.
