23 April 2019
Dear Shareholder,
Murray Cod Australia Limited Share Purchase Plan
On behalf of the Board of Murray Cod Australia Limited (ACN 143 928 625) ( Company ), I am pleased to offer you the opportunity to subscribe for fully paid ordinary shares in the Company ( Shares ) under a Share Purchase Plan ( SPP ).
The Company is offering eligible shareholders the opportunity to apply under the SPP for up to $15,000 worth of Shares at an issue price of $0.155 per Share ( Issue Price ).
Shareholders will be eligible to participate in the SPP if they have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand, or any other jurisdiction where in the reasonable opinion of the Company it is lawful and practical for the Company to offer Shares, as at 5pm (AEST) on 8 April 2019.
The Issue Price is equal to the price at which the Company undertook its placement to sophisticated and professional investors as announced on 9 April 2019, with the SPP to raise approximately $2,235,000 (before costs). The Issue Price represents a 11% discount to the volume weighted average market price of Shares over the last five days on which sales of Shares were recorded on ASX immediately prior to the announcement of the SPP.
Applications for new Shares under the SPP will be made on the enclosed Application Form. The Offer of Shares under the SPP is made in accordance with ASIC Class Order 09/425 and therefore does not require a prospectus for the purposes of Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act.
Important Information
The SPP is governed by the enclosed terms and conditions. The Board urges you to read these terms and conditions carefully and in their entirety before deciding whether to participate in the SPP.
If you are uncertain whether Shares are a suitable investment for you, you should consult your financial or other professional adviser. The Board recommends that you obtain your own financial advice in relation to the SPP and consider price movements of Shares in the Company prior to electing to participate in the SPP.
Enquiries
If you have any enquiries in relation to your Application Form or the Plan, please call the Company Secretary on +61 (08) 9482 0500.
Applications must be received by no later than at 5.00pm (AEST) on Friday, 10 May 2019.
Yours faithfully
Ross Anderson Chairman Murray Cod Australia Limited
