Dear Overseas Shareholder
RENOUNCEABLE ENTITLEMENTS ISSUE
As you may be aware, Mindax Limited (“Mindax” or “the Company”) is currently undertaking a pro-rata renounceable entitlements issue (“Rights Issue”) pursuant to a prospectus dated 1 July 2011 (“Prospectus”). The Company anticipates that the Rights Issue will close on 8 August 2011.
The Prospectus is for a renounceable rights issue to existing shareholders in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore on the basis of one (1) new share (“New Share”) for every five (5) existing shares held on the record date of 18 July 2011 (“Record Date”) at an issue price of 25 cents per New Share, together with one (1) free attaching new „piggyback‟ option (“New Option”) for every New Share issued. The New options will represent a new class of options and will comprise a primary option with an exercise price of 30 cents exercisable during April 2012, and expiring on 30 April 2012. The primary option is exercisable into one ordinary share and also a secondary option with an exercise price of 35 cents and an expiry date of 31 May 2015.
The Rights Issue is partially underwritten by Patersons Securities Limited (“Underwriter”) to the extent of $4.75 million and will seek to raise gross proceeds of approximately $7,575,000 (assuming no existing options presently on issue are exercised prior to the Record Date).
The Company determined, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.7.1 (a) of the Listing Rules of the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX Listing Rules”), that it would be unreasonable to make offers under the Prospectus to all countries outside of Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. Accordingly, in compliance with ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1 (b), the Company wishes to advise you that it will not be extending the Rights Issue to you. The Company has appointed Patersons Securities Limited (“Nominee”), on normal commercial terms, as nominee for the excluded foreign shareholders to arrange the sale of the rights which would have been offered to the excluded shareholders. The Company will transfer the rights of the excluded shareholders to the Nominee who will account to those excluded shareholders for the proceeds (net of any expenses) of the sale of the rights (if any). The Nominee will have the absolute and sole discretion to determine the timing and the price at which the rights may be sold and the manner of any such sale. Neither the Company nor the Nominee will be subject to any liability for failure to sell the rights or to sell them at a particular price.
If, in the reasonable opinion of the Nominee, there is not a viable market for the rights or a surplus over the expenses of sale cannot be obtained for the rights that would have been offered to the excluded shareholders, then the rights will be allowed to lapse and they will form part of the shortfall. The contact number for the Nominee is +61 8 9263 1111.
Should you have any queries please contact the Company‟s Share Registry on +61 8 9389 8033.
Yours sincerely
Angelo Francesca Company Secretary
