LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Dear Eligible Holder
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Pilot Energy Limited ( Pilot ), I am pleased to offer you the opportunity to apply for new ordinary shares in Pilot ( SPP Shares ) through a Security Purchase Plan ( SPP ). The SPP allows each Eligible Holder the opportunity to subscribe for up to $30,000 of SPP Shares without incurring brokerage or other transaction costs.
The Pilot Board has determined to cap the size of the SPP at $500,000, in aggregate. As the SPP is not underwritten, the SPP may raise more or less than this amount. If the SPP raises more than $500,000, Pilot may decide in its absolute discretion to accept applications (in whole or in part) that result in the SPP raising more than $500,000.
The SPP follows Pilot’s successful institutional placement announced on Friday, 25 September 2020 of 15,909,091 Shares at $0.033 per Share under Pilot’s existing placement capacity and a further 59,848,485 Shares at $0.033 per share subject to Shareholder approval (with one free-attaching option for every two shares subscribed) ( Placement ) which will raise $2.5 million before costs of the Placement.
The issue price of New Shares under the SPP will be $0.033 per SPP Share, being the issue price under the Placement determined via the bookbuild process held on Thursday, 24 September 2020. The issue price represents a:
-
14.7% discount to the VWAP over the 5 trading days up to, and including, 18 September 2020 ($0.0387);
-
17.5% discount to the last trading day on 18 September 2020 ($0.04) immediately prior to the announcement of the SPP; and
-
15.4% discount to VWAP since 4 September 2020 ($0.039), being the date of announcing the Mid-West WSP feasibility study.
Eligible Holders who participate in the SPP will also be offered, subject to Shareholder approval, the opportunity to apply for one free attaching unlisted Option for every two Shares applied for under the SPP exercisable at $0.033 per option on or before the Expiry Date ( Free-Attaching Option ), for nil consideration.
The offer of the Free-Attaching to Eligible Holders will be made separately to this SPP under a prospectus ( Prospectus ) that will be made available when the offer for the Free-Attaching Options are made. A copy of the Prospectus will be made available online, and sent via email or post (as applicable) to Eligible Holders who have participated in the SPP. Any Eligible Holder who participates in the SPP and wishes to apply for Free-Attaching Options will need to complete the application form that will be in or accompany the Prospectus.
The offer of the Free-Attaching Options is subject to Shareholder approval. Shareholder approval will be sought at a general meeting of the Company’s Shareholders around mid-November. If Shareholders do not approve the issue of the Free-Attaching Options, the Company will withdraw the offer the subject of the Prospectus and no Free-Attaching Options will be issued.
It is intended that funds raised under the Placement and SPP will be used by Pilot to fund the feasibility study in relation to the Mid-West Wind and Solar Project, production enhancement activities at the Cliff Head project and provide sufficient working capital to cover corporate costs.
Participation in the SPP is voluntary. Full details of the SPP are set out in the Terms and Conditions contained in this Booklet, which I encourage you to read in full.
Details of the SPP Offer
The SPP is offered exclusively to holders of fully paid Share in Pilot as at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on Thursday, 24 September 2020 who have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand and who are not Excluded Holders ( Eligible Holders ). Certain Eligible Holders who are Custodians and hold
2
017-8426-7162/1/AUSTRALIA
Shares on behalf of certain beneficiaries are also offered the opportunity to participate in the SPP on behalf of those beneficiaries in accordance with the Terms and Conditions.
Holders in the United States are not eligible to participate in the SPP. Similarly, persons (including Custodians) who hold Shares on behalf of persons in the United States, or who are acting for the account or benefit of persons in the United States, are not eligible to participate in the SPP on behalf of those persons.
The SPP provides Eligible Holders with an opportunity to contribute up to $30,000 (in set amounts of $1,000, $2,500, $5,000, $7,500, $10,000, $15,000, $20,000, $25,000 or $30,000) in applying for SPP Shares. If Pilot receives applications that exceed the amount it proposes to raise under the SPP, it may decide to scale back applications or raise a higher amount, in its absolute discretion. If a scale back is applied, this means that an Eligible Holder may be allocated fewer SPP Shares than they apply for under the SPP.
If Pilot decides to conduct any scale back of applications, for example because the aggregate amount applied for under the SPP exceeds Pilot’s requirements, the scale back will be applied on a pro rata basis, either based on the size of the Eligible Holder’s existing holding of Shares or based on the number of SPP Shares that the Eligible Holder has applied for. All Shares issued under the SPP will rank equally with existing Shares and will carry the same voting rights and entitlements to receive dividends from the date of issue.
No brokerage, commissions or other transaction costs apply to purchases under the SPP.

IMPORTANT NOTICES
This Booklet does not provide financial advice and has been prepared without taking account of any person’s investment objectives, financial situation and particular needs. You should consider the appropriateness of participating in the SPP having regard to your investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs.
You should seek professional advice from your stockbroker, solicitor, accountant or other independent and qualified professional adviser before making any investment decision in relation to these matters.
The offer of SPP Shares under the SPP offer is made in accordance with the Corporations Act and ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547, which grants relief from the requirement for Pilot to provide prospectus disclosure in relation to the SPP. This Booklet does not constitute a prospectus or product disclosure statement, and it has not been lodged with ASIC. You must rely on your own knowledge of Pilot and previous disclosure made by Pilot to ASX. You should seek professional advice from your stockbroker, solicitor, accountant or other independent and qualified professional adviser when deciding whether or not to participate in the SPP offer.
Your Application will be irrevocable and unconditional (it cannot be withdrawn or cancelled) even if the market price of SPP Shares changes after you lodge your Application. If you participate in the SPP by submitting an Application, you are accepting the risk that the market price of Shares may change between the date on which you apply for the SPP Shares and the Issue Date. This means it is possible that, between the time you make your Application and up to or after the Issue Date, you may be able to buy Shares on market at a lower price than the Issue Price.
Pilot will not issue SPP Shares under the SPP to an applicant if those securities, either alone or in conjunction with the issue of Shares under other Applications received by Pilot, would contravene any law or the ASX Listing Rules.
Eligible Holders should be aware that an investment in Pilot involves risks.

In particular, this Booklet does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities in the United States or any other jurisdiction in which such an offer would be unlawful. The SPP Shares to be offered and sold under the SPP have not been, and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the US Securities Act ), or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States, and may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in the United States or to any person acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States unless the SPP Shares have been registered under the US Securities Act or are offered or sold pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the US Securities Act and applicable securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States.

The SPP offer opens at 9.00am (Sydney time) on Wednesday, 7 October 2020 and is scheduled to close at 5.00pm (Sydney time) on Monday, 2 November 2020 (see the Key Dates section of this Booklet).
If you are an Eligible Holder and would like to participate, you should ensure that the Registry receives your Application (including payment) by no later than 5.00pm (Sydney time) on Monday, 2 November 2020 .
4. Who may participate in the SPP?
You may participate in the SPP if you are an Eligible Holder. You are an Eligible Holder if you were a registered holder of Shares at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on Thursday, 24 September 2020 with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand and you are not an Excluded Holder.
An Excluded Holder is any Holder (including a Custodian) to the extent that they:
-
hold Shares on their own account and reside outside Australia or New Zealand;
-
hold Shares on behalf of another person who resides outside Australia or New Zealand; or
-
are in the United States, or they hold Shares on behalf of persons in the United
States, or are acting for the account or benefit of persons in the United States (to the extent they are participating in the SPP on behalf of those persons).
The SPP Shares are not being offered or sold to the public within New Zealand other than to existing Holders of Pilot with registered addresses in New Zealand to whom the offer of the SPP Shares is being made in reliance on the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and the Financial Markets Conduct (Incidental Offers) Exemption Notice 2016.
Certain Eligible Holders who are Custodians holding Shares on behalf of Eligible Beneficiaries are also able to participate in the SPP in accordance with the Terms and Conditions.
5. Do I have to participate in the SPP?
No. Participation in the SPP is entirely voluntary. If you do not wish to participate in the SPP, no action is required on your part.
Before you apply for SPP Shares, Pilot recommends that you seek independent financial advice from your stockbroker, solicitor, accountant or other independent and qualified professional adviser, and you monitor the market price of the Shares.
This Booklet does not purport to contain all of the information that you need to make an investment decision. Further details about Pilot, the Placement and the SPP are included in Pilot’s ASX announcements released on www.asx.com.au, which you are encouraged to read.
6. Can my offer under the SPP be transferred to a third party?
No. Your rights under this SPP offer are personal to you and cannot be transferred to any person.
7. What is the Issue Price of the SPP Shares under the SPP?
The Issue Price of SPP Shares will be $0.033 per SPP Share, being the issue price under the Placement determined via the bookbuild process held on Thursday, 24 September 2020.
There is a risk that the market price of the Shares may rise or fall between the date of this Booklet and the date when SPP Shares are issued or allotted to you under the SPP. This means that the price you pay for the SPP Shares issued to you may be less than or
7
017-8426-7162/1/AUSTRALIA
more than the market price of Shares at the date of this Booklet or the time of issue.
Subject to the Corporations Act, your application is unconditional and may not be withdrawn even if the market price of Shares is less than the Issue Price.
The current Share price can be obtained from ASX under the ASX ticker code “PGY”.
8. What is the maximum number of SPP Shares that I can apply for through the SPP?
Eligible Holders cannot apply for more than A$30,000 of SPP Shares, on the following basis:
-
if you have multiple registered holdings, or if a Custodian holds Shares on your behalf, the maximum amount you may apply to invest (or instruct a Custodian to apply for) under the SPP (or any similar arrangement offered by Pilot in the preceding 12 months) in all capacities in aggregate is A$30,000; and
-
this limit applies regardless of the number of Shares you currently hold and regardless of whether you participated in the Placement.
By applying to purchase SPP Shares, you represent and certify (amongst other things) to Pilot that you have not exceeded this $30,000 limit. Further detail is set out in the Terms and Conditions at terms 3.6 and 3.16.
You give those representations and certifications to Pilot irrespective of how you apply. Custodians may only apply for a maximum of A$30,000 of SPP Shares in respect of each Eligible Beneficiary and will be required to certify this to Pilot in the Custodian Certificate and as set out in term 3.16(e). These amounts may be subject to scale back – see Question 13.
9. How many SPP Shares can I apply for under the SPP?
If you are an Eligible Holder and wish to participate in the SPP offer, you will apply for a certain value, rather than a certain number, of SPP Shares. You are entitled to contribute a set amount of A$1,000, A$2,500, A$5,000, A$7,500, A$10,000, A$15,000, A$20,000, A$25,000 or A$30,000 ( Application Amounts ) in applying for SPP Shares, regardless of the number of Shares or other securities you currently hold. These amounts
may be subject to scale back — see Question 13.
If you make a payment for any amount other than one of the prescribed Application Amounts, Pilot may round down to the next available Application Amount and return the balance of your Application monies to you. Alternatively, Pilot may reject your Application in full.
Pilot will determine how many SPP Shares you have applied for by dividing your Application Amount by the Issue Price (described above) in accordance with the Terms and Conditions.
If your nominated Application Amount cannot be divided by the Issue Price to give a whole number of Shares, the number of SPP Shares that you apply for will be rounded down and any remaining balance of your payment will form part of the assets of Pilot. You will not receive a refund for this amount, which will always be less than the price of 1 Share.
10. How do I apply for Shares under the SPP?
To apply for SPP Shares, you must, by 5.00pm (Sydney time) on Monday, 2 November 2020, either:
-
make a payment directly via BPAY® by using the unique Reference Number printed on your Application Form, which is the fastest and easiest way to apply and is recommended by the Registry in light of delays to postal services caused by the COVID-19 pandemic (if you choose this option you do not need to return an Application Form); or
-
complete and return the personalised paper Application Form enclosed with this Booklet, together with payment by cheque to:
Pilot Energy Limited.
C/- Boardroom Pty Limited
GPO Box 3993
Sydney NSW 2001
Further detail is set out in the Terms and Conditions at term 3.10.
Your Application (including payment) must be received by 5.00pm on Monday, 2 November 2020 (the Closing Date for the SPP).
You should be aware that your financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regards to electronic payment and you
8
017-8426-7162/1/AUSTRALIA
should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. You may also have your own limit on the amount that you can pay via BPAY®. It is your responsibility to check that the amount you wish to pay via BPAY® does not exceed your limit.
You should consider postal and cheque clearance timeframes in meeting this deadline, including the possibility that there may be postal delays due to COVID-19 Regulations, reduced frequency of deliveries, or other delay.
Custodians are also required to provide a Custodian Certificate and must comply with the additional requirements set out in the Terms and Conditions. See also Question 16 below.
Your Application will be irrevocable and unconditional (it cannot be withdrawn or cancelled) even if the market price of SPP Shares changes after you lodge your Application.
11. Can I withdraw my Application (e.g. if the market price of Pilot’s Shares changes after I submit my Application)?
No. Your Application, once made, is unconditional and may not be withdrawn even if the market price of Shares changes after you lodge your Application or is less than the Issue Price. By submitting an Application, you are accepting the risk that the market price of Shares may change between the date on which you apply for the SPP Shares and the Issue Date. This means it is possible that, between the time you make your Application and up to or after the Issue Date, you may be able to buy Shares at a lower price than the Issue Price
12. What do I do if I receive more than one
Application Form?
Eligible Holders who receive more than one Application Form under the SPP or who are able to participate in the SPP as an underlying beneficial owner of an eligible custodian (e.g. where an Eligible Holder holds Shares in more than one capacity), may apply on different Application Forms for Shares, however the total aggregate amount that is applied for must not exceed A$30,000.
13. Do I have a guaranteed allocation of SPP Shares under the SPP?
No. If you are an Eligible Holder and you make a valid Application in accordance with the Terms and Conditions then, subject to the following, you will receive a Parcel of SPP
Shares valued at the Application Amount specified in your Application Form and issued at the Issue Price (rounded down to the nearest whole number of SPP Shares).
The Pilot Board has determined to cap the size of the SPP at $500,000, in aggregate. As the SPP is not underwritten, the SPP may raise more or less than this amount. If the SPP raises more than $500,000, Pilot may decide in its absolute discretion to accept applications (in whole or in part) that result in the SPP raising more than $500,000.
The Pilot Board has determined the size of the SPP at approximately $500,000 and in determining the size of the SPP has taken into account the size of the Capital Raising, the allocation between the Placement and the SPP within the Capital Raising and Pilot’s requirement for new capital. The SPP of approximately $500,000 is intended to allow Eligible Holders an opportunity to participate in the Company’s requirement for new capital at this time.
If the SPP raises more than $500,000, Pilot may decide in its absolute discretion to accept applications (in whole or in part) that result in the SPP raising more than $500,000 or apply a higher cap to the SPP and scale back applications over the higher cap. If Pilot decides to conduct any scale back of applications, for example because the aggregate amount applied for under the SPP exceeds Pilot’s requirements, the scale back will be applied on a pro rata basis, either based on the size of the Eligible Holder’s existing holding of Shares or based on the number of SPP Shares that the Eligible Holder has applied for. This means you may be allocated fewer SPP Shares than the Parcel of SPP Shares for which you applied. If this happens, you will be refunded the difference in the Application Amount as set out in the Terms and Conditions (without interest payable on funds prior to your refund).
14. What costs are associated with the
SPP?
There are no brokerage or transaction costs payable by Eligible Holders in relation to the Application for, and the issue of, SPP Shares.
15. Can I apply for SPP Shares under the SPP if my Shares are held by a Custodian?
If you are an Eligible Beneficiary of Shares held by a Custodian you will be eligible to participate in the SPP through that Custodian (see the Terms and Conditions below).
9
017-8426-7162/1/AUSTRALIA
16. How do Custodians apply for Eligible Beneficiaries?
Custodians may only distribute documents relating to the SPP to Eligible Beneficiaries. In particular, Custodians must not distribute any documents relating to the SPP to any person in the United States or to any person acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States (to the extent such person is acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States), and must not submit an Application or make payment for SPP Shares for any person who is an Excluded Holder.
If you wish to apply as a Custodian under the SPP to receive SPP Shares for one or more Eligible Beneficiaries, you must complete and submit an additional Custodian Certificate that contains further certifications and details (as required under the terms of ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 before your Application will be accepted. Applications by Custodians that are not accompanied by a duly completed Custodian Certificate will be rejected. By applying as a Custodian on behalf of Eligible Beneficiaries to purchase SPP Shares, you certify (amongst other things) that each Eligible Beneficiary has not exceeded the $30,000 limit (see Question 8).
Eligible Holders can also visit the contact the Pilot Information Line on 1300 737 760 (within Australia) and 02 9290 9600 (outside Australia) between 8.30am and 5.00pm (Sydney time), Monday to Friday.
