On 22 March 2021 Matsa Resources Limited ( Company or Matsa ) announced a pro rata renounceable entitlement offer of new fully paid ordinary shares ( New Shares ) in the Company to raise $2,169,173, before costs, at a ratio of one (1) Share for every ten (10) Shares held, together with one (1) free attaching option ( New Option ) for every two (2) New Shares subscribed for and issued of up to 27,114,670 New Shares and 13,557,335 New Options ( Offer ). The price of the New Shares under the Offer is $0.08 per New Share ( Offer Price ).
A prospectus containing information in respect of the Offer was announced on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) on 22 March 2021 ( Prospectus ).
This letter is not an offer to issue New Shares to you, nor an invitation for you to apply for New Shares. You are not required to do anything in response to this letter.
The Offer is partially underwritten by Mahe Capital Pty Ltd ( Mahe or Underwriter ) to $1,500,000 ( Underwritten Amount ). In consideration for Mahe acting as Underwriter and lead manager of the Offer, the Company will pay Mahe:
(1) 2 New Options for every one dollar raised; (2) A Lead Manager fee of $60,000. This will be subscribed for in scrip; (3) A management fee of 1% of the total amount raised; (4) 5% of the Underwritten Amount; and (5) 5% of any shortfall securities placed beyond the Underwritten Amount.
The funds raised from the Offer are currently intended to be allocated towards a drilling program at the Lake Carey gold project, in particular at Devon, the winding down of operations at Red October in preparation for further drilling, costs of the Offer and for working capital purposes.
The Offer is being made to certain shareholders of the Company named on its register of members at 5:00pm (AEST) on 26 March 2021, whose registered address is in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore or Germany ( Eligible Shareholders ).
New Shares will rank equally with all fully paid ordinary shares ( Shares ) in the capital of the Company already on issue. All Shares issued on conversion of the New Options will rank equally with the Shares on issue at the date of the Prospectus.

Ineligible Shareholders
A Shareholder who has a registered address outside of Australia, New Zealand, Singapore or Germany ( Ineligible Shareholder ) will not be eligible to participate in the Offer.
You are not eligible to participate in the Offer and you will not be sent a copy of the Prospectus. This decision has been made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.7.1(a) of the ASX Listing Rules after taking into consideration:
-
(a) the costs of complying with legal and regulatory requirements in jurisdictions outside of Australia, New Zealand, Singapore or Germany;
-
(b) the relatively small number of Ineligible Shareholders in the jurisdictions where the Offer is not being made; and
-
(c) the number and value of New Shares to which the Ineligible Shareholders would otherwise be entitled.
Mahe (who is also the Underwriter) has been appointed as nominee ( Nominee ) to sell the rights to subscribe for New Shares pursuant to the Prospectus to which Ineligible Shareholders are entitled ( Entitlements ). The Nominee will have the absolute and sole discretion to determine the timing and price at which the Entitlements may be sold and the manner of any such sale.
Any interest earned on the proceeds of the sale of these Entitlements will firstly be applied against expenses of such sale, including brokerage, and any balance will accrue to Ineligible Shareholders.
The net proceeds of the sale of these Entitlements will then be forwarded by the Company as soon as practicable to the Ineligible Shareholders, in proportion to their share of such Entitlements (after deducting brokerage commission and other expenses). If any such net proceeds of sale are less than the reasonable costs that would be incurred by the Company for distributing those proceeds, such proceeds may be retained by the Company.
Notwithstanding that the Nominee may sell Entitlements, Ineligible Shareholders may nevertheless receive no net proceeds if the costs of the sale are greater than the sale proceeds.
There is no guarantee that the Nominee will be able to sell Entitlements of Ineligible Shareholders on ASX and Ineligible Shareholders may receive no value for the Entitlements. Both the Company and the Nominee take no responsibility for the outcome of the sale of such Entitlements or the failure to sell such Entitlements.
If you have any queries concerning the Entitlement Offer, please contact the Company Secretary on +61 8 9230 3555.
Yours sincerely
