Dear Shareholder,

MAYNE PHARMA GROUP LIMITED ENTITLEMENT OFFER – NOTIFICATION TO INELIGIBLE SHAREHOLDERS

On 10 February 2015, Mayne Pharma Group Limited (ASX: MYX) ( Mayne Pharma or Company ) announced an underwritten 1-for-3.45 pro-rata accelerated non renounceable entitlement offer ( Entitlement Offer ). Concurrently with the announcement of the Entitlement Offer on 10 February 2015, Mayne Pharma also undertook an underwritten placement to institutional and sophisticated investors to raise A$11.7m (together with the Entitlement Offer, the Offer ).

The Offer will raise approximately $115m and the proceeds will be used for the following purposes:

  • acquisition of the Doryx® assets from Actavis (trademark, marketing materials, select product inventory and related medical and technical data);

  • start up costs for US Specialty Brands Division;

  • acquisition of two US generic products (Butalbital/APAP/Caffeine capsule abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) and full ownership of the Methamphetamine tablet ANDA);

  • incremental working capital and general corporate purposes, including accelerating the development, registration and marketing of the Company's existing product pipeline and further potential product acquisitions; and

  • transaction costs.

The Entitlement Offer comprises an institutional component ( Institutional Entitlement Offer ) and an offer to Eligible Retail Shareholders (as defined below) to participate on the same terms ( Retail Entitlement Offer ). The Entitlement Offer is being made by the Company in accordance with section 708AA of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Act ) as modified by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Class Order 08/35), meaning that no prospectus needs to be prepared.

This notice is to inform you about the Retail Entitlement Offer and to explain why you will not be able to subscribe for new shares under the Entitlement Offer. 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 .

DETAILS OF THE RETAIL ENTITLEMENT OFFER

The Retail Entitlement Offer is being made to Eligible Retail Shareholders (as defined below), on the basis of 1 new share for every 3.45 existing shares held at 7:00pm (Melbourne time) on 13 February 2015 ( Record Date ).

Documents relating to the Retail Entitlement Offer were lodged with the ASX on 18 February 2015 and are being mailed to Eligible Retail Shareholders.

Eligibility criteria

The Company has determined, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.7.1(a) of the ASX Listing Rules and section 9A(3)(a) of the Act, that it would be unreasonable to make offers to shareholders in countries other than Australia and New Zealand in connection with the Retail Entitlement Offer having regard to:

  • a) the relatively small number of shareholders in the other jurisdictions where the Retail Entitlement Offer would be made;

  • b) the number and value of shares for which such shareholders would otherwise have been entitled; and

  • c) the costs of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements in each other jurisdiction where the Retail Entitlement Offer would be made.

Accordingly, the Company wishes to advise you that it will not be extending the Retail Entitlement Offer to you and you will not be able to subscribe for new shares under the Retail Entitlement Offer.

Shareholders who are eligible to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer ( Eligible Retail Shareholders ) are shareholders who:

  • a) are registered as a holder of Shares as at 7.00pm (Melbourne time) on the Record Date;

  • b) have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand on the Record Date;

  • c) are not in the United States and are not “U.S. persons” (as defined under Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act), as amended) (U.S. Persons) and are not acting for the account or benefit of U.S. Persons;

  • d) were not an Institutional Shareholder eligible to participate under the Institutional Entitlement Offer (and were not treated as an ineligible institutional shareholder under the Institutional Entitlement Offer); and

  • e) are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Retail Entitlement Offer without any requirement for a prospectus or other formal offer document to be lodged or registered.

The Company may (at its absolute discretion) extend the Retail Entitlement Offer to certain institutional shareholders in foreign jurisdictions who did not participate in the institutional component of the Entitlement Offer (subject to compliance with applicable laws).

Unfortunately, as you do not satisfy the eligibility criteria for an Eligible Retail Shareholder stated above, you will not be sent the Retail Offer Document relating to the Retail Entitlement Offer nor be able to subscribe for new shares under the Retail Entitlement Offer.

As the Retail Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable, you will not receive any payment or value for entitlements in respect of any new shares that would have been offered to you if you were eligible.
