ASX Announcement 1 October 2021

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

MaxiPARTS Limited (formerly called MaxiTRANS Industries Limited) ACN 006 797 173 (ASX:MXI, MXI or Company ) is pleased to announce the reintroduction of a dividend reinvestment plan ( DRP ) offering eligible shareholders the opportunity to reinvest the net proceeds of their dividends from the Company’s shares into additional fully paid shares. The last time the Company offered the DRP to shareholders was in 2010.

On 23 July 2021, the Company announced its intention to pay a special dividend of approximately 12.5 cents per share (fully franked and pre-share consolidation) following completion of all of the transactions funds flow (excluding the deferred settlement component) arising from the recent sale of the Trailer Solutions Business and the Hallam and Derrimut properties ( Special Dividend ). The Special Dividend is expected to be paid in late October / early November 2021.

Eligible Shareholders will be able to participate in the DRP in respect of the Special Dividend.

Directors believe all shareholders should be given the opportunity to refresh their intentions in relation to taking advantage of the DRP to increase their shareholding in MXI or taking the dividend as cash. Please note that any previous election to participate in the DRP that a shareholder may have had is no longer operative.

Attached to this announcement is a copy of the letter sent to shareholders enclosing the Dividend Reinvestment Plan Rules, Plan Highlights and Frequently Asked Questions.

MaxiPARTS recommends that interested shareholders seek financial advice and read the full terms and conditions set out in the DRP Rules before electing to participate.

Letter from the Chairman

Dear Shareholder

On 23 July 2021, MaxiPARTS Limited ( MaxiPARTS ) announced its intention to pay a special dividend of approximately 12.5 cents per share (fully franked and pre-share consolidation) following completion of all of the transactions funds flow (excluding the deferred settlement component), which is expected to be in late October 2021 / early November from the sale of the Trailer Solutions Business and the Hallam and Derrimut Properties.

MaxiPARTS is now pleased to announce the reintroduction of a dividend reinvestment plan ( DRP ) in anticipation of that dividend. If you elect to participate in the DRP, you will be able to have dividends paid on some or all of your MaxiPARTS shares automatically reinvested in additional MaxiPARTS shares in an easy and cost effective way. No brokerage or other transaction/administrative costs will be payable by you on shares allotted under the DRP.

The DRP provides that a discount may be applied to shares issued under the DRP at the discretion of the Board of the Company . Any discount under the DRP will be announced on the ASX at the same time as the announcement of the dividend.

Key features of the DRP include:

  • Participation is voluntary. You can choose to reinvest all, part or none of your dividend in the DRP.

  • Shareholders who have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand will be eligible to participate.

  • You can increase your shareholding by reinvesting any dividends you may be entitled to in additional shares, in a simple and cost effective way.

  • You can terminate or vary your participation in the DRP at any time, subject to compliance with the processes set out in the DRP.

  • Shares acquired under the DRP will rank equally with existing shares from the date of allotment or transfer.

  • No brokerage, commission or other transaction costs and no stamp or other duties will be payable on shares allotted under the DRP.

Shareholders can read the full terms and conditions set out in the DRP Rules, the plan highlights and frequently asked questions that are attached to this letter or available online at MaxiPARTS’ website at www.MaxiPARTS.com.au.

MaxiPARTS recommends that interested shareholders seek financial advice and read the full terms and conditions set out in the DRP Rules before electing to participate.

The last time the Company offered the DRP to shareholders was in 2010. Directors believe all shareholders should be given the opportunity to refresh their intentions in relation to taking advantage of the DRP to increase their shareholding in MXI or taking the dividend as cash. Please note that any previous participation that shareholders may have had in the DRP is no longer operative.

  • 11.3 If by the allotment, purchase or transfer of Shares otherwise than under the DRP, the number of Shares held by a Limited Participant increases to a number greater than the original nominated number of Participating Shares held, the excess of Shares over the number of Participating Shares are taken to be Non-Participating Shares unless otherwise advised by a further DRP Notice delivered to MaxiPARTS by the Limited Participant.
