Dear Shareholder
INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE IN 2020 SHARE PURCHASE PLAN
The Company is pleased to offer Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to participate in the Company's share purchase plan (Offer). The Offer will give Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to apply for up to A$30,000 worth of New Shares at an issue price of A$0.44 for each New Share (Issue Price) without incurring brokerage or other transaction costs.
The Issue Price represents a discount of 10.2% to the closing price of Shares on ASX on 10 December 2020 (being the date on which the Company's shares went into a trading halt) and a discount of 20.2% to the 5-day volume weighted average market price of Shares to that date.
On 15 December 2020, the Company announced the Offer and a placement of new ordinary shares to investors in Australia to raise A$6 million (Placement). The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Placement and Offer to fund a range of core business strategies and directives, including sales and marketing initiatives, increase in inventory, further development of the Althea Concierge™ platform and the Company's research and development program. Shareholders may wish to refer to the Company's announcement dated 15 December 2020 for further details of the Placement, available from www.asx.com.au or https://althea.life/investor-centre/asx-announcements.
The Company intends to raise the full A$3 million from the Offer. However, the Company reserves absolute discretion regarding the final amount raised under the Offer. The Company reserves the right to close the Offer early and scale back applications in its absolute and sole discretion.
Participation in the Offer is optional. The issue of New Shares is expected to take place on or around 27 January 2021.
Participation and important dates in relation to the Offer
The Offer is offered exclusively to all Eligible Shareholders (including Custodians), being registered holders of Shares as at 7.00pm (AEDT) on 14 December 2020 (Record Date) with a registered address in Australia and New Zealand, and not resident or located in the United States or any other jurisdiction in or into which an offer of New Shares would be unlawful, who meet certain other conditions as expressly prescribed in the Terms & Conditions (Eligible Shareholders).
The Offer opens on 21 December 2020 and closes at 5:00pm (AEDT) on 15 January 2021.
The Directors reserve their right, subject to the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, to vary the closing date without prior notice, including closing the Offer early. Accordingly, the Directors encourage any Eligible Shareholders (including Custodians) wishing to participate in the Offer to lodge their Application Forms and/or remit their Application Monies as soon as possible. If the closing date is varied, subsequent dates may also be varied accordingly.
Subject to ASX Listing Rule 10.12 (Exception 4) being satisfied at the date of the issue of the New Shares, Directors who are Eligible Shareholders may participate in the Offer (without having to obtain prior Shareholder approval) on the same terms as all other Eligible Shareholders. Directors may apply to subscribe for up to the maximum number of New Shares permitted by the Terms & Conditions.

In its absolute and sole discretion, the Company reserves the right to issue more New Shares than initially announced (subject to compliance with ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act). The Company also reserves its right to issue fewer New Shares than an Eligible Shareholder applies for under the Offer or none at all and its right to scale back applications in such manner as the Directors see fit. Any determination by the Directors in respect of any scaling back or refusal of any application will be final. If a scale back occurs or the Company refuses an application, the Company will refund any excess Application Monies to the relevant Eligible Shareholders in full (in A$ and without interest).
The Offer is not underwritten.

TERMS & CONDITIONS
The following are the terms and conditions of the Offer. By accepting the Offer, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions and the constitution of the Company.
1. ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547
The Offer is offered in compliance with ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 (ASIC Instrument 2019/547).

The Offer opens on 21 December 2020 (Opening Date).
The Offer closes at 5:00pm (AEDT) on 15 January 2021 (Closing Date).
The Directors reserve their right, subject to the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, to vary the Closing Date without prior notice including closing the Offer early. Accordingly, the Directors encourage any Eligible Shareholders (including Custodians) wishing to participate in the Offer to lodge their Application Forms and/or remit their Application Monies as soon as possible. If the Closing Date is varied, subsequent dates may also be varied accordingly.
3. Who is eligible to participate in the Offer?
You are eligible to apply for New Shares under the Offer if you were registered as a holder of Shares as at the Record Date on the Register and if your registered address, as recorded in the Register, is in Australia or New Zealand and you are not resident or located in the United States or any other jurisdiction in or into which an offer of New Shares would be unlawful.
The Offer to each Eligible Shareholder is made on the same terms and conditions.
Your rights under the Offer are personal to you and the Offer is non-renounceable (i.e. you may not transfer your right to subscribe for New Shares to anyone else).
4. Shareholder approval
The Company will issue the New Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 5). Accordingly, Shareholder approval is not required for the issue of the New Shares pursuant to the Offer.
If required, the Company will scale back applications in such manner as the Directors see fit.
5. Voluntary participation
The Offer is entirely voluntary and is subject to the Terms & Conditions. You are not obliged to participate in the Offer.
6. Issue Price
The Issue Price of each New Share will be A$0.44, which is the same price as shares issued pursuant to the Placement. The Issue Price represents a discount of 10.2% to the closing price of Shares on ASX immediately prior to 11 December 2020 (being the date on which the Company's shares went into a trading halt).
7. Important information on price risk to consider
Before deciding whether to accept the Offer, you should refer to the current market price of the Shares, which can be obtained from the financial pages of most major daily newspapers, your stockbroker, your financial adviser, or ASX.
Subscription for New Shares is a speculative investment and the market price may change between the date you apply for New Shares and the issue of New Shares to you. Accordingly, the value of New Shares applied for is likely to rise or fall. Importantly, there is a risk that during the period between when the Issue Price is determined and when the New Shares are issued to you, the price at which Shares are traded on ASX may be less than the Issue Price. You must rely on your own knowledge of the Company and previous disclosures made by the Company to ASX (including disclosure regarding risks of making an investment in the Company). In determining whether you wish to participate in the Offer and the extent to which you participate, you should seek your own personal financial and/or taxation advice referable to your personal circumstances.
8. How much can you invest in the Offer?
Subject to paragraph 11, if you are an Eligible Shareholder, you may subscribe for a maximum of $30,000 worth of New Shares.
There is a minimum amount for which you may subscribe under the Offer which is $2,000 worth of New Shares.
| Parcel | SubscriptionAmount (A$) | Number ofShares | Parcel | SubscriptionAmount (A$) | Number ofShares |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parcel A | 30,000 | 68,182 | Parcel I | 14,000 | 31,818 |
| Parcel B | 28,000 | 63,636 | Parcel J | 12,000 | 27,273 |
| Parcel C | 26,000 | 59,091 | Parcel K | 10,000 | 22,727 |
| Parcel D | 24,000 | 54,245 | Parcel L | 8,000 | 18,182 |
| Parcel E | 22,000 | 50,000 | Parcel M | 6,000 | 13,636 |
| Parcel F | 20,000 | 45,455 | Parcel N | 4,000 | 9,091 |
| Parcel G | 18,000 | 40,909 | Parcel O | 2,000 | 4,545 |
| Parcel H | 16,000 | 36,364 |
The following parcels of New Shares are available under the Offer:
The maximum limit of $30,000 worth of New Shares applies to you even if you receive more than one Offer. For example, if as at the Record Date, you are both a sole and a joint Shareholder, you can only apply for New Shares once, either in your capacity as sole Shareholder or joint Shareholder, not both.
The Company will not issue any fraction of New Shares. Eligible Shareholders applying for New Shares must pay all Application Monies in Australian dollars.
No brokerage, stamp duty or other costs are payable by applicants in respect of an application for New Shares.
9. Offer discretion
The Company intends to raise up to $3 million by the issue of New Shares. However, if total demand for the offer exceeds $3 million, the Directors may in their absolute discretion, increase the Offer, or undertake a scale back to the extent and in the manner they see fit.
If there is a scale back, you may not receive all the New Shares for which you have applied. If a scale back produces a fractional number when applied to the number of New Shares for which you have applied, the number of New Shares issued to you will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of New Shares.
If there is a scale back, the difference between the Application Monies received from you, and the number of New Shares issued to you multiplied by the Issue Price, will be refunded to you in full (in A$ and without interest and at your sole risk).
The Directors reserve their right (in their absolute discretion) to refuse an Application Form (in whole or in part) if they consider that:
- (a) it is reasonable and prudent to do so;
- (b) the applicant is not an Eligible Shareholder;
- (c) the issue of those New Shares may contravene any applicable law, rule or regulation in any jurisdiction (including without limitation the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules) or the requirements of any regulatory or governmental body or may require further action to be taken by the Company including, without limitation, registration of Shares or the preparation of a prospectus in any jurisdiction; or
- (d) the applicant has not otherwise complied with the Terms & Conditions.
If an Application Form is refused in whole or in part, the Application Monies will be returned to the applicant in full (without interest and at the applicant's sole risk).
All Directors' decisions in connection with a scale back or refusal of an application are final.
10. Shortfall
The Offer is not underwritten.
Subject to the ASX Listing Rules, the Directors reserve their right to place any shortfall under the Offer at their absolute discretion at a price not less than the Issue Price.
11. Custodian certification
If on the Record Date you are a Custodian and hold Shares on behalf of one or more persons each of whom is an Eligible Shareholder in Australia or New Zealand (each, a Participating Beneficiary), the Offer is made to you and you have the discretion whether to extend the Offer to the Participating Beneficiaries. You may apply up to a maximum of $30,000 worth of New Shares for each Participating Beneficiary.
The Company can only issue to a Custodian Shares up to the value of $30,000 in a 12-month period unless the Custodian certifies in writing (Custodian Certificate):
- (a) either or both of the following:
- (i) that the Custodian holds Shares on behalf of one or more Participating Beneficiaries that are not Custodians; and
- (ii) that another Custodian (Downstream Custodian) holds beneficial interests in Shares on behalf of one or more Participating Beneficiaries, and the Custodian holds the Shares to which those beneficial interests relate on behalf of the Downstream Custodian or another Custodian,
on the Record Date and that each Participating Beneficiary has subsequently instructed the following persons:
- (iii) where paragraph 11(a)(i) applies the Custodian; and
- (iv) where paragraph 11(a)(ii) applies the Downstream Custodian,
to apply for New Shares on their behalf under the Offer;
- (b) the number of Participating Beneficiaries;
- (c) the name and address of each Participating Beneficiary;
- (d) in respect of each Participating Beneficiary:
- (i) where paragraph 11(a)(i) applies, the number of Shares that the Custodian holds on their behalf; and
- (ii) where paragraph 11(a)(ii) applies, the number of Shares to which the beneficial interests relate;
- (e) in respect of each Participating Beneficiary:
- (i) where paragraph 11(a)(i) applies, the number or the dollar amount of New Shares they instructed the Custodian to apply for on their behalf; and
- (ii) where paragraph 11(a)(ii) applies, the number or the dollar amount of New Shares they instructed the Downstream Custodian to apply for on their behalf;
- (f) there are no Participating Beneficiaries in respect of which the total of the application price for the following exceeds $30,000:
- (i) the New Shares applied for by the Custodian on their behalf under the Offer in accordance with the instructions in paragraph 11(e); and
- (ii) any other Shares issued to the Custodian in the 12 months before the application under the Offer as a result of an instruction given by them to the Custodian or Downstream Custodian to apply for Shares on their behalf under an arrangement similar to the Offer;
- (g) that a copy of this document was given to each Participating Beneficiary; and
- (h) where paragraph 11(a)(ii) applies, the name and address of each Custodian who holds beneficial interests in the Shares held by the Custodian in relation to each Participating Beneficiary.
In providing a Custodian Certificate under this paragraph 11, the Custodian may rely on information provided to it by the Participating Beneficiary and any Custodian who holds beneficial interests in the Shares held by the Custodian.
If the Company is not satisfied with the Custodian Certificate (for whatever reason), the Company will not issue any New Shares to the Custodian on behalf of the relevant Participating Beneficiaries.
If you require a Custodian Certificate or require further information about the Custodian application process, you should contact the Share Registry.
If you hold Shares as a trustee or nominee for another person, but are not a Custodian as defined above, you cannot participate for beneficiaries in the manner described above. In this case, the rules for multiple single holdings set out in paragraph 8 apply.
12. Effect of making an application and Shareholder certification
