Dear Option-holder
Listed option holding in Opthea Limited
According to our records, you are the registered holder of listed options (ASX: OPTO) in Opthea Limited (the Company). These options will expire on 25 November 2018 and have an exercise price per share of $0.27. The latest market price of Opthea Limited ordinary shares (ASX: OPT, the underlying securities) is $0.575. The highest and lowest prices at which OPT shares traded in the three months from 1 August 2018 were $0.67 (on 5 October 2018) and $0.51 (on 7 August 2018) respectively.
You have the following choices when deciding how you’d like to deal with your option holding:
- Convert your options to fully paid ordinary shares by sending the exercise price of $0.27 per share by 25 November 2018. Please note, you may only exercise options in multiples of 500 unless all options held are exercised.
If making a BPAY payment, please follow the details on the accompanying Option Expiry Notice. If you make a BPAY payment, you will be deemed to have given the Company the accompanying Option Expiry Notice at the same time as making your payment, and you therefore will not be required to return that Notice.
If making payment by any other accepted payment method (i.e. if paying by cheque, bank draft or money order), you must return the Option Expiry Notice.
After receiving payment of the exercise price (and the completed Option Expiry Notice if paying by cheque, bank draft or money order), you will be issued the equivalent number of fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company within 15 business days;
-
Trade your options on the ASX before their quotation ends on 19 November 2018; or
-
Do nothing . There is no obligation to exercise any of your options. However, if you do nothing, your options will simply expire on 25 November 2018 and you will lose any value the options otherwise have.
Opthea Limited, Suite 0403, Level 4, 650 Chapel Street, South Yarra, Victoria 3141, Australia A.C.N. 006 340 567 l Tel: +61 3 9826 0399 l www.opthea.com
916CR_0_Sample_CA/000001/000001
Please note that the expiry date of the Options, being 25 November 2018, is a Sunday. If you wish to exercise your Options, it is your responsibility to ensure that your BPAY payment (or, if paying by other accepted payment methods, your payment and Option Expiry Notice) is received on or prior to this date. You should also be aware that, if paying by BPAY, your financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regard to electronic payment and you should therefore take this into account when making payment.
If you have any questions regarding the exercise of your options or the above choices, please contact Opthea on +61 (3) 9826 0399.
Yours sincerely

It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that funds submitted through BPAY are received by this time. If you are paying by cheque, bank draft or money order the payment slip must be received by CIS by no later than 5:00pm (AEDT) on Sunday, 25 November 2018. You should allow sufficient time for this to occur (and noting that the expiry date of the Options falls on a Sunday). A reply paid envelope is enclosed for shareholders in Australia. Shareholders outside Australia will need to affix the appropriate postage. Neither CIS nor the Company accepts any responsibility if you lodge the payment slip at any other address or by any other means.
