Dear

Shareholder,

On
behalf
of
Oldfields
Holdings
Ltd
( Oldfields ),
I
am
pleased
to
invite
you
to
participate
in
the
non-­‐ renounceable
one
for
one
(1
:
1)
rights
issue
at
an
offer
price
of
$0.10
per
New
Share
( Offer
Price
)
to
raise up
to
approximately
$5.6million
(before
expenses)
( Offer ).

Shareholders
in
Oldfields
that
are
eligible
to
participate
in
the
Offer
are
those
persons
who
are
registered holders
of
fully
paid
ordinary
shares
in
Oldfields
( Shares )
as
at
5.00pm
AEDT
on
Monday,
5
November
2012 and
whose
registered
address
is
in
Australia
or
New
Zealand
( Eligible
Shareholder
).
The
new
Shares
issued under
the
Offer
( New
Shares
)
will
be
fully
paid
ordinary
shares
which
will
rank
equally
with
existing
Shares on
issue.

In
addition
to
the
Offer
Eligible
Shareholders
may
subscribe
for
New
Shares
not
otherwise
taken
up
in
the Offer
( Shortfall
Shares
)
at
the
same
Offer
Price
( Shortfall
Offer
).
The
Company
may
subsequently
issue
any Shortfall
Shares
not
subscribed
for
by
Eligible
Shareholders
under
the
Shortfall
Offer
to
institutions, sophisticated
and
professional
investors.
Completed
entitlement
and
acceptance
forms
must
be
received by
5.00pm
AEDT
on
Friday
30
November
2012
or
such
other
date
as
Oldfields’
board
of
directors
( Board ),
in its
absolute
discretion,
may
determine,
subject
to
compliance
with
the
applicable
regulatory
requirements.

As
recently
announced
on
the
Australian
Securities
Exchange
( ASX ),
a
key
term
of
Oldfields’
new
facility agreement
with
its
bank
( Facility
Agreement
)
is
to
make
a
payment
of
$5
million
to
the
bank
to
repurchase $10
million
of
Oldfields’
debt.
The
funds
raised
from
issue
of
New
Shares
will
be
used
to
make
this payment.
The
Board
believes
the
capital
restructure
resulting
from
this
payment
will
position
Oldfields
for
a return
to
sustainable
profitable
growth.
In
order
to
make
the
payment
and
cover
the
cost
of
the
Offer, Oldfields
will
need
to
raise
a
minimum
of
$5
million
net
of
transaction
costs
( Minimum
Raise
)
through
the issue
of
New
Shares.
The
Board
reserves
the
right
to
withdraw
all
or
part
of
the
Offer
(and
Shortfall
Offer)
if the
Minimum
Raise
is
not
raised.

The
Offer
is
not
underwritten.

A
key
risk
of
Oldfields
not
raising
at
least
the
Minimum
Raise
is
that
Oldfields
may
not
be
able
to
make
the $5
million
payment
to
its
bank
and
will
be
in
breach
of
its
Facility
Agreement.
If
Oldfields
defaults
under
the Facility
Agreement,
the
bank
may
be
able
to
enforce
its
security
over
Oldfields
and
its
assets,
and
the
value of
your
investment
in
Oldfields
will
be
diminished.

Other
key
risk
factors,
including
the
key
risks
of
an investment
in
Oldfields,
are
outlined
on
page
16
of
the
accompanying
Company
Presentation
and,
before deciding
to
invest,
Eligible
Shareholders
and
other
prospective
investors
should
consider
all
risk
factors carefully.

Oldfields
received
feedback
from
certain
shareholders
that
they
would
appreciate
an
opportunity
to participate
in
a
capital
raising.
The
Offer
has
been
made
to
provide
all
Eligible
Shareholders
with
an
equal opportunity
to
participate
in
the
future
of
Oldfields.
Over
the
past
year
your
management
team
and
Board have
been
working
to
transform
Oldfields
-­‐
some
details
of
the
progress
achieved
to
date
are

Neither the information in this Offer Booklet nor the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form constitutes an offer of securities for sale in the United States or to persons that are, or are acting for the account or benefit of, a U.S. Person. Neither this information nor the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form may be distributed to or relied upon by, persons in the United States or that are, or are acting on behalf of or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. Person, or otherwise distributed in the United States.

This Offer Booklet and the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form have not been registered, filed or approved by any New Zealand regulatory authority under the Securities Act 1978 (New Zealand).

Governing law

This document, the Offer and the contracts formed on acceptance of applications are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. Each applicant submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that state.

9986293.5 NSY NSY

**1. The

Offer**

Under the Offer, Eligible Shareholders are invited to subscribe for one New Share for every one Share held at 5.00pm AEDT on Monday, 5 November 2012 ( Record Date ) at the Offer Price of 10 cents per New Share.

The number of New Shares to which you are entitled to subscriber for is shown on the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form. The Offer is not underwritten.

**2. Eligible

Shareholder**

Eligible Shareholders are those persons who are registered holders of Shares as at the Record Date and whose registered address is in Australia or New Zealand. Oldfields reserves the right to determine whether a shareholder is an Eligible Shareholder.

Oldfields has determined that it is not practical for holders of Shares with registered addresses in other jurisdictions to participate in the Offer, having regard to the number and value of New Shares they would be offered and the costs of complying with the regulatory requirements in those places. To the extent that a person holds Shares on behalf of another person resident outside Australia or New Zealand, it is that person’s responsibility to ensure that any acceptance complies with all applicable foreign laws.

**3. Use

of
funds**

If all New Shares are subscribed under the Offer, Oldfields will raise approximately $5.6million.

A key term of the Facility Agreement is to make a payment of $5 million to the bank to repurchase $10 million of Oldfields’ debt. The Board intends to use the funds raised from the issue of New Shares to make this $5 million payment to the bank and satisfy its obligations under the Facility Agreement. In order to make the payment and cover the cost of the Offer, Oldfields will need to raise a minimum of $5 million net of the transaction costs of the Offer ( Minimum Raise ) through the issue of New Shares. Any amount raised above the Minimum Raise, will form part of Oldfield’s working capital.

If Oldfields does not raise the Minimum Raise, Oldfields will consider raising funds through the issue of debt. However, there is no guarantee that Oldfields will be able raise additional debt funding. In the event Oldfields is able to raise the debt funding required, Oldfields will continue to operate but may not achieve the same performance it could have achieved if at least the Minimum Raise was raised under the Offer. If Oldfields does not raise the Minimum Raise, the Board reserves the right to withdraw all or part of the Offer.

A key risk of Oldfields not raising at least the Minimum Raise under the Offer or by any debt fundraising, is that Oldfields will not be able to make the $5 million payment to its bank and will be in breach of its Facility Agreement. If Oldfields’ defaults under the Facility Agreement, the bank may be able to enforce its security over Oldfields and its assets and the value of your investment in Oldfields will be diminished.

9986293.5 NSY NSY

**4. Proposed

timetable**

The dates in the timetable below are indicative only and are subject to change. Oldfields reserves the right, subject to the Corporations Act and the listing rules of the ASX ( Listing Rules ), to amend the proposed timetable. Any changes to the proposed timetable will be lodged with ASX.

**5. Shortfall

Offer
and
oversubscriptions**

Eligible Shareholders may also apply for Shortfall Shares at the same time they apply for New Shares under the Offer. Eligible Shareholders must also provide application money to cover the Offer Price for the Shortfall Shares applied for. Shortfall Shares will only be issued under the Shortfall Offer if the Offer is undersubscribed, and will only be issued to the extent necessary to make up any shortfall in subscriptions.

If Oldfields receives applications for Shortfall Shares under the Shortfall Offer that would result in the Offer being oversubscribed, then the Board will scale back 9986293.5 NSY NSY

applications for the Shortfall Shares in proportion to the number of Shortfall Shares subscribed for. There is no guarantee that Eligible Shareholders will receive the Shortfall Shares they apply for in excess of their entitlement under the Offer. If the scale back results in fractions of Shortfall Shares, any such fractions will be rounded up to the nearest whole Shortfall Share.

The Board reserves the right to allot to an Eligible Shareholder who applies for Shortfall Shares a lesser number of Shortfall Shares than the number for which the Eligible Shareholder applied for, or to reject an application, or to not proceed with placing the Shortfall Shares. If you do not receive all of the Shortfall Shares you applied for, the excess application moneys will be returned to you without interest.

Shortfall Shares under the Shortfall Offer will be issued to Eligible Shareholders at the same time as the issue of New Shares under the Offer. All Eligible Shareholders who intend to participate in the Shortfall Offer should note that participation will be subject to compliance with the Takeover Provisions (Chapter 6) of the Corporations Act).

**6. How

to
apply**

A personalised ‘Entitlement and Acceptance Form’ accompanies this Offer Booklet. If you wish to apply for New Shares, please complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form in accordance with the instructions on the form. You will need to fill in the details in the spaces provided of the number of New Shares you wish to accept and, if you wish to participate in the Shortfall Offer, the number of Shortfall Shares you wish to apply for. Completed Entitlement and Acceptance Forms must be accompanied by a cheque drawn on an Australian bank, bank draft or money order made payable in Australian currency for the appropriate application money, and made payable to “Oldfields Holdings Ltd”.

Please return your completed Entitlement and Application Form and payment to Oldfields’ share registry in accordance with the instructions of the form. Your completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form and payment must be received by Oldfields’ share registry by the Closing Date.

By applying for New Shares, you are taken to:

  • (a) agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set out in this Offer Booklet and the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form;

  • (b) acknowledge that investments in Oldfields are subject to risk, including the risks outlined in this Offer Booklet;

  • (c) meet the criteria for being an Eligible Shareholder as set out in this Offer Booklet;

  • (d) agree to be bound by Oldfield’s constitution; and

  • (e) authorise Oldfields to register you as the holder of the New Shares allotted to you, and authorise Oldfields and its officers or agents to do anything on your behalf necessary for the New Shares to be issued to you.

**7. ASX

listing**

Application for official quotation by ASX of the New Shares offered pursuant to this Offer has been made. If approval is not obtained from ASX before the expiration of three (3) months after the date of this Offer (or such period as varied by the ASIC) Oldfields will not issue any New Shares and will repay all application monies for the

9986293.5 NSY NSY

New Shares within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.

The fact that ASX may grant official quotation to the New Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of Oldfields or the New Shares.

**8. Holding

statements**

Oldfields will not be issuing certificates to Eligible Shareholders. Instead, Eligible Shareholders will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of New Shares allotted to them under this Offer (and the Shortfall Offer, if any). The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number (HIN) and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under the Clearing House Electronic Subregister System (CHESS), which the ASX electronic transfer and settlement system, and issuer sponsorship.

**9. Undersubscription

of
Shortfall
Offer
(and
Offer)**

Any Shortfall Shares not subscribed for by Eligible Shareholders under the Shortfall offer may be subsequently placed at the Board’s absolute discretion to institutional investors, and other prospective sophisticated and professional investors in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 3.

In accordance with the above exception to Listing Rule 7.1, Oldfields may issue any Shortfall Shares which are not subscribed for by Eligible Shareholders under the Shortfall Offer at the Board’s discretion, provided that:

  • (a) the price at which these Shortfall Shares are issued is not less than the Offer Price; and

  • (b) these Shortfall Shares will be issued within three months of the Closing Date.

**10. Impact

of
Offer
on
your
shareholding
and
on
control**

If all Eligible Shareholders take up their rights to subscribe to New Shares under the Offer, an Eligible Shareholder’s percentage holding in Oldfields will not be diluted. However, to the extent that any Eligible Shareholder fails to take up their rights for New Shares under the Offer, that Eligible Shareholder’s percentage holding in Oldfields will be diluted by those Eligible Shareholders who take up some or all of their rights to New Shares, and are issued with Shortfall Shares.

Oldfields’ major shareholder, Mr Lewis Timms (shares held through Randell Management Services Pty Ltd ATF the Timms Superannuation Fund) ( Major Shareholder ) currently holds 35.14% of Shares. The Major Shareholder has indicated to Oldfields’ that it intends to take-up its full entitlement under the Offer. The Major Shareholder has indicated that it does not intend to subscribe for any shares under the Shortfall Offer. Mr Lewis Timms is also a director of Oldfields.

The possible outcomes of the Major Shareholder’s and other substantial shareholder’s holdings in Oldfields at the conclusion of the Offer are as detailed in the following table (assuming the other substantial shareholders also take up their full entitlement):

Oldfields considers that any such increase in the voting power of the Major Shareholder in Oldfields may have a material effect on the control of Oldfields as the Major Shareholder would, in these circumstances, be likely to have a greater degree of influence when voting on resolutions to be considered at shareholder meetings. Notwithstanding this, the Board considers that such an effect is acceptable in the circumstances, as all Eligible Shareholders have an equitable opportunity to participate in the Offer, and to take up Shortfall Shares which will minimum increase in the Major Shareholders’ voting power.

11. Directors
interest
and
participation
Each member of the Board’s relevant interest (direct or indirect) in the Shares at the date of this Offer Booklet and the number of New Shares they are entitled to subscribe for under the Offer is set out in the table below:

Director Existing Shares Entitlement
Ms Julie Garland McLellan 0 0
Mr Christopher Giles 700,000 700,000
Mr Lewis Timms 19,692,264 19,692,264

Christopher Giles and Lewis Timms intend to take up at least part of their entitlement to subscribe for New Shares under the Offer.

**12. Not

participating
in
the
Offer**

If you choose not to participate in the Offer, you do not have to take any action. However, your shareholding in Oldfields will most likely be diluted.

**13. Withdrawal

of
Offer**

The Board reserves its rights to withdraw all or part of the Offer in the event of the

9986293.5 NSY NSY

Offer closes without at least the Minimum Raise being raised. In the event the Board decides to withdraw the Offer, Oldfields will refund (without interest) application moneys received from Eligible Shareholder for the New Shares.

**14. No

rights
trading**

The Offer is made on a non-renounceable basis, and accordingly, Eligible Shareholders may not sell, trade or transfer all or part of their right under the Offer.

15. No
cooling
off
rights
Cooling off rights do not apply to an investment in New Shares. You cannot withdraw your application once it has been accepted.

16. Dividends

Oldfields has not paid dividends since 2009. The Board and management have changed in the past two years and have refocused Oldfields on its core businesses. The funds raised under the Offer and Shortfall Offer will recapitalise the businesses and the Board and management expect Oldfields to trade profitably after the rights issue has been completed and the interest payments are reduced to a manageable amount. The Board expects that when Oldfields is trading profitably, Oldfields may pay a dividend. There is no guarantee that Oldfields will make a dividend payment, however, returning Oldfields to profitablility such that it is able to pay a dividend is one of the Board’s priorities.
