ABOUT LARK

Founded in 1992 by pioneer Bill Lark, next year Lark Distilling Co. will be celebrating its 30th anniversary. This iconic milestone will be honouring the Tasmanian barley, water and climate — and the Tasmanian distilling industry as a whole. Lark Distilling Co. houses a range of spirits headlined by its single malt whiskies, including the Classic Cask 43% and Cask Strength 58% and its unique blended-malt whisky, SYMPHONY No.1. The distillery also produces a range of Forty Spotted Gins and handcrafted Tasmanian spirits and liqueurs.

In April 2021, Lark Distillery was named Australia’s first carbon-neutral distillery under the Australian Government’s Climate Active Program, meaning the activities associated with running Tasmania’s first distillery have no net negative impact on the climate. One of the most rigorous and widely recognised carbon-neutral programs in the world, Climate Active certification is only awarded to businesses and organisations that have credibly reached a state of achieving zero net emissions.

For the second consecutive year, Lark Distilling Co. has been nominated for the International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC) Worldwide Whiskey Producer of the Year award to be announced in Edinburgh, Scotland on October 21, 2021.

Dear Shareholder

Invitation to participate in Share Purchase Plan

Lark Distilling Co. Ltd ( Lark ) is pleased to present to Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to increase their investment in Lark through an offer of fully paid ordinary shares under this Share Purchase Plan ( SPP ).

As announced on 19 October 2021, Lark has successfully raised approximately $46.5 million from an unconditional placement of shares to professional, institutional and sophisticated investors ( Initial Placement ) and secured firm commitments for a conditional placement to certain directors of approximately $6.4 million on the same terms as the Initial Placement, subject to obtaining shareholder approval ( Conditional Placement ) (collectively the Placement ).

The shares issued under the Initial Placement were issued at $5.00 per share ( Placement Price ), which represented:

  • a 1.2% discount to the last traded price of Lark's shares on 15 October 2021, being the last trading day before details of Placement were announced; and

  • a 1.1% premium to the 5-day volume-weighted average price of Lark's Shares traded on the ASX up to and including 15 October 2021.

The funds raised under the Placement will be used by Lark to partially fund its acquisition of Kernke Family Shene Estate Pty Ltd ( Shene Estate ) and associated transactions and the construction of its new distillery. Further details in relation to Lark's proposed acquisition of Shene Estate are contained in Lark's Investor Presentation and announcement released to ASX on 18 October 2021.

The proceeds of the SPP will be used for Lark's general working capital purposes.

The Offer

The SPP is offered exclusively to all shareholders who were recorded on Lark's share register at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on Friday, 15 October 2021 with an address on the share register in Australia or New Zealand (each an Eligible Shareholder ).

The SPP provides Eligible Shareholders with an opportunity to buy a parcel of shares in Lark with no brokerage or transaction costs, irrespective of their existing shareholdings, up to a maximum of $30,000.

The offer price of the New Shares ( Offer Price ) is the lower of:

  • the Placement Price; and

  • the 5-day volume-weighted average price of Lark's Shares traded on the ASX up to, and including, the Closing Date (expected to be 15 November 2021), rounded down to the nearest cent.

Therefore, the maximum price that Eligible Shareholders will pay is the Placement Price.

Lark will announce the Offer Price for the SPP after the SPP closes.

The minimum application amount for New Shares is $2,500 and the maximum application amount for New Shares is $30,000.

4

Lark is seeking to raise up to $5 million under the SPP. However, if the total value of applications received under the SPP is greater than $5 million, Lark may increase the size of the SPP offer or may scale back the number of New Shares that will be allotted under the SPP such that you may be allocated fewer New Shares than the number for which you applied. In such a case, you will receive a proportionate refund of your application monies (without interest).

Participation in the SPP is optional and the right to participate is not transferrable. The offer to participate in the SPP closes at 9:00am (Sydney time) on Monday, 15 November 2021.

Full details on the SPP and how to participate are contained in the attached documents.

In order to apply for a parcel of New Shares, please read the attached documents carefully and follow the instructions on the enclosed personalised application form.

If you have any questions in relation to how to participate in the SPP, please contact Boardroom Pty Limited on (02) 9290 9600 between 8.15am and 5.30pm (Sydney time) Monday to Friday, or email any questions to the Company Secretary, at [email protected].

Frequently asked questions

What is the Share Purchase Plan?

The Share Purchase Plan (or SPP ) provides Eligible Shareholders with an opportunity to purchase additional fully paid ordinary shares in Lark ( New Shares ) without brokerage or transaction costs.

All New Shares issued under the SPP will rank equally with existing ordinary shares in Lark ( Lark Shares ), including with respect to voting rights and other entitlements.

Am I an Eligible Shareholder?

You are an Eligible Shareholder if, at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on Friday, 15 October 2021 ( Record Date ), you were registered as a holder of Lark Shares with an address on the share register in Australia or New Zealand.

What is the Offer Price of the New Shares?

The offer price of the New Shares ( Offer Price ) is the lower of:

  • the Placement Price; and

  • the 5-day volume-weighted average price of Lark's Shares traded on the ASX up to, and including, the Closing Date (expected to be 15 November 2021), rounded down to the nearest cent.

Therefore, the maximum price that Eligible Shareholders will pay is the Placement Price.

Lark will announce the Offer Price for the SPP after the SPP closes.

The market price of Lark Shares may rise or fall between the date of this offer and the date on which the New Shares are allotted under the SPP.

The Offer Price may therefore be higher, equal to or lower than the price at which Lark Shares are trading on the ASX at the time the New Shares are allotted under the SPP.

How many New Shares can I apply for under the SPP?

Each Eligible Shareholder is entitled to apply for a parcel of New Shares valued at either $2,500, $5,000, $10,000, $15,000, $20,000, $25,000 or $30,000 regardless of the number of Lark Shares that the Eligible Shareholder owns as at the Record Date.

If the Offer Price cannot be divided into your nominated parcel, to give a whole number of New Shares, there will be a rounding down of the number of New Shares.

If Lark receives an application for New Shares ( Application ) for an amount that does not equal one of the amounts specified above, Lark may either:

  • reject the Application and refund in full the Application money (without interest) to the Eligible Shareholder; or

  • 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 (greater than $2.00 and without interest) to the Eligible Shareholder.

If an Eligible Shareholder holds Lark Shares in more than one capacity (eg as both a joint holder and a sole holder), then the maximum amount that Eligible Shareholder can apply for under the SPP in all capacities is an aggregate of $30,000.

SPP Terms and Conditions

Purpose

The purpose of the Share Purchase Plan ( SPP ) is to offer existing shareholders of Lark Distilling Co. Ltd ACN 104 600 544 ( Lark ) the opportunity to acquire additional fully paid ordinary shares in Lark ( New Shares ) up to a maximum value of $30,000 without the need to pay brokerage or transaction costs and without the need for Lark to issue a prospectus.

This document sets out the terms and conditions of the offer under the SPP.

Shareholder eligibility to participate

Participation in the SPP is only open to each person registered as a holder of ordinary shares in Lark ( Lark Shares ) at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on Friday, 15 October 2021 ( Record Date ), who has an address on the share register in Australia or New Zealand (each an Eligible Shareholder ).

Due to foreign securities laws, it is not practical for shareholders who are resident in countries other than Australia or New Zealand to participate in the SPP.

Participation in the SPP is optional and is subject to these terms and conditions. Offers made under the SPP are non-renounceable meaning that Eligible Shareholders may not transfer their rights to New Shares offered under the SPP.

Joint shareholders are taken to be a single registered holding for the purpose of the SPP, and the joint holders are entitled to participate in the SPP in respect of that single holding only. If the same joint holders receive more than one offer under the SPP, those joint holders may only apply for an aggregate maximum parcel of shares (ie $30,000) between any joint or individual holdings.

If an Eligible Shareholder is a "Custodian" (as defined in ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547) ( Custodian ) and is the registered holder of Lark Shares on behalf of one or more persons who have a registered address in either Australia or New Zealand and who is not in the United States and is not acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States (each an Eligible Beneficiary ), the offer is made to that Eligible Shareholder and it has the discretion whether to extend the offer to the Eligible Beneficiaries. Custodians must complete and submit a certificate that certifies the matters required by paragraph 8(3) of ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547) ( Custodian Certificate ) when making an Application on behalf of Eligible Beneficiaries. To request a Custodian Certificate please contact Lark's share registry, Boardroom Pty Limited on (02) 9290 9600. Applications received from Custodians must be accompanied by a duly completed and signed Custodian Certificate. Applications that are not accompanied by a duly completed Custodian Certificate will be rejected.

If an Eligible Shareholder holds Lark Shares as a trustee or nominee for another person, but is not a Custodian, that Eligible Shareholder cannot participate for the beneficiaries of that trust in the manner described above. In this case, the rules for multiple single holders apply.

By electing to participate in the SPP, an Eligible Shareholder is deemed to have certified that the aggregated maximum amount subscribed for under the SPP does not exceed $30,000. Furthermore, Eligible Shareholders are deemed to have confirmed, in relation to all New Shares applied for by them under the SPP, that they do not make an Application for any other person in circumstances which might involve any breach of securities law of any jurisdiction other than Australia and New Zealand and have agreed to be bound by Lark's constitution in respect of all the New Shares issued to them under the SPP.

Issue Price

The price of New Shares to be issued under the SPP ( Offer Price ) will be the lower of:

9

  • the Placement Price; and

  • the 5-day volume-weighted average price of Lark's Shares traded on the ASX up to, and including, the Closing Date (expected to be 15 November 2021), rounded down to the nearest cent.

Therefore, the maximum price that Eligible Shareholders will pay is the Placement Price.

Lark will announce the Offer Price for the SPP after the SPP closes.

The market price of Lark Shares may rise or fall between the date of this offer and the date that New Shares are issued to Eligible Shareholders. This means that the Offer Price may be higher, equal or lower than the price of Lark Shares traded on ASX at the time the New Shares applied for under the SPP are issued and allotted.

Application and notices

At the discretion of the directors of Lark, Eligible Shareholders will each be sent a letter of offer, terms and conditions and an Application Form, inviting them to subscribe for New Shares under the SPP.

Eligible Shareholders may apply to purchase a parcel of New Shares under the SPP valued at either $2,500, $5,000, $10,000, $15,000, $20,000, $25,000 or $30,000.
