Dear Shareholder

NOTICE OF SHARE SALE FACILITY FOR HOLDERS OF SMALL SHARE PARCELS

The Board of Directors of Plenti Group Limited (ASX:PLT) (Plenti or the Company) are pleased to advise that the Company has established a Small Share Parcel Sale Facility (Facility) for holders with parcels of fully paid ordinary shares in Plenti (Shares) valued at less than A$500 (each a Small Share Parcel). The Facility will enable Small Share Parcel Shareholders (SSP Shareholders) to sell their shares without incurring any brokerage costs.

The Facility will be available to SSP Shareholders, recorded on Plenti's register of members (Register) who at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on 5 March 2021 (Record Date) were holders of a Small Share Parcel in the Company.

Based on a price of $1.020 per share, being the closing price of Plenti shares on the ASX on the Record Date, a holding of less than 491 Shares represented a Small Share Parcel. Our records show that you are recorded on the Register as an SSP Shareholder as at the Record Date and accordingly are eligible to participate in the Facility.

As at the Record Date, the Company has approximately 2,811 shareholders of which approximately 243 hold Small Share Parcels, that in aggregate represent approximately 0.036% of all issued Shares.

Pursuant to clause 15.2 of Plenti's Constitution and the ASX Listing Rule 15.13, the Company may notify eligible shareholders that it intends to sell their holdings unless they complete and return the enclosed Share Sale Election Form by 5.00pm (Sydney time) on 16 April 2021 (Closing Date).

Your options

As an SSP Shareholder of Plenti Shares, Plenti is authorised under clause 15.4 of its Constitution to sell your Shares immediately following the expiry of a 6 week period from the date this letter was sent to you, the Closing Date, unless the Company receives a completed Share Sale Election Form from you.

Your options are set out in further detail below:

1. Sell your Small Share Parcel

If you wish to sell your Shares through the Facility without incurring any brokerage or handling costs, you DO NOT need to take any action.

Your Shares will be pooled with other shares that are eligible to be sold under this Facility and sold as soon as practicable after the Closing Date. All costs associated with the sale of your shares will be borne by the Company. You do not need to appoint a broker nor pay the brokerage and handling costs associated with the sale of shares under the Facility. Any tax consequences arising from the sale of your shares will be your responsibility.

The price at which shares will be sold under the Facility will be at the best price reasonably available for the shares, as determined by the Directors at their sole discretion. The price ultimately received will be determined by market conditions and may be different from the market

price prevailing at the time. Accordingly, you will receive a proportionate share of the sale proceeds from all shares sold under the Facility.

Once the proceeds of sale have been received, we will confirm your proportionate share from the sale and seek instructions from you as to how the proceeds are to be dealt with. Proceeds will be distributed following receipt of this instruction. Alternatively, you can provide an instruction for dealing with sale proceeds now by completing the box labelled "B" of the attached Share Sale Election Form or by updating your payment instructions at https://investor.automic.com.au/#/home.

2. Retain your existing holding

If you wish to retain your Plenti Shares, YOU MUST either:

  • i. Complete and return the attached Share Sale Election Form and return it to Automic Group by post to GPO Box 5193 Sydney 2001 or by email to [email protected] so that it is received by 5.00pm (Sydney time) on 16 April 2021, being the Closing Date of this Facility; or
  • ii. Lodge your election online athttps://investor.automic.com.au/#/home so that it is received by 5.00pm (Sydney time) on 16 April 2021, being the Closing Date of this Facility; or
  • iii. Make your own arrangements outside of this Facility to increase your holdings by purchasing additional PLT Shares so that your registered holding is at least $500 worth of shares on the Closing Date. The increase must be under the same name and address and with the same holder number (SRN or HIN) as set out on the attached Share Sale Election Form; or
  • iv. If you hold PLT Shares in multiple holdings, arrange to have those holdings merged into one holding of at least $500 so that this is reflected on PLT's Register on the Closing Date.

If you successfully take one of these steps, PLT will not be entitled to sell your shares under the Facility.

Important Information

PLT is not bound to sell all or any of the shares that may be available for it to sell under the Facility, and there is no guarantee that PLT will be able to sell your shares. In addition, the sale proceeds may differ from the market value of your shares on the Record Date depending on movements in the market price of the shares and on the Company appointed brokers' ability to procure purchasers.

Neither PLT nor any other person involved in the Facility shall be liable for failure to sell the shares or at a particular price. The price of PLT shares is subject to change and an up-to-date price can be obtained from ASX website (www.asx.com.au) under the code "PLT".

The Company will determine whether a shareholder has a Small Share Parcel as at the Record Date. The Company will not have any reference to any increase in the price of shares after the Record Date in determining whose shares may be sold pursuant to this Facility.

The Company does not make any recommendation or provide any advice to you regarding whether to sell your holding under the Facility or retain your existing holding.

If you have a Small Share Parcel as at the Record Date, then, unless you take one of the steps outlined in section 2 of this letter, PLT will be entitled to sell your shares under the Facility.

Please read the instructions on your personalised Share Sale Election Form carefully before completing it. If you need help deciding what to do, or if you require information regarding the financial, legal or tax consequences of participating in the Facility you should consult your financial, legal or taxation adviser.

The attached terms and conditions set out further details of the Facility which you should read before making any decision.

Yours faithfully

Benjamin Milsom

Company Secretary

Terms and Conditions of the Small Share Parcel Sale Facility (Facility)

1. What is a Small Share Parcel?

A Small Share Parcel of shares is a holding of PLT shares valued at less than $500 as at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on 5 March 2021 (Record Date). Based on the PLT share price of $1.020 as at close of trade on the Record Date, this is a holding of 490 shares or less.

As the determination of a Small Share Parcel is undertaken at the Record Date, any increase in the PLT share price after that date will not impact what constitutes a Small Share Parcel.

2. Why have I been sent this letter?

You have been sent this letter because your shareholding on the Record Date was a Small Share Parcel.

3. Why did PLT establish the Facility?

PLT recognises that shareholders of Small Share Parcels may find it difficult or expensive to dispose of their shares in the usual way. The Company is offering the Facility to assist holders of Small Share Parcels to sell their shares without incurring brokerage or handling costs.

4. What if I want to retain my shares?

If you want to retain your PLT shares, you must either:

  • i. Complete and return the attached Share Sale Election Form and return it to Automic Group by post to GPO Box 5193 Sydney 2001 or by email to [email protected] so that it is received by 5.00pm (Sydney time) on 16 April 2021, being the Closing Date of this Facility; or
    • ii. Lodge your election online athttps://investor.automic.com.au/#/home so that it is received by 5.00pm (Sydney time) on 16 April 2021, being the Closing Date of this Facility; or
    • iii. Make your own arrangements outside of this Facility to increase your holdings by purchasing additional PLT Shares so that your registered holding is at least $500 worth of shares on the Closing Date. The increase must be under the same name and address and with the same holder number (SRN or HIN) as set out on the attached Share Sale Election Form; or
    • iv. If you hold PLT Shares in multiple holdings, arrange to have those holdings merged into one holding of at least $500 so that this is reflected on PLT's Register on the Closing Date.

If you currently have more than one holding on the PLT share register, you may wish to consider amalgamating your holdings so that they are registered as one holding by the Closing Date. This may result in your amalgamated holding no longer being a Small Share Parcel. Under these circumstances your shares will not be sold as part of this Facility.

5. What price will I receive for shares sold through the Facility?

The price at which shares will be sold under the Facility (being the minimum price which may be accepted) will be determined by market conditions and may be different from the market price prevailing at the time.

You will receive the same sale price per share and will receive a proportionate share of the sale proceeds from all shares sold under the Facility.

PLT does not give any assurance as to the likely sale price of the shares that may be achieved.

6. When will the proceeds from the sale of shares be sent to me?

You will be notified by way of a transaction confirmation statement of the number of your shares sold, the sale price and your sale proceeds. The transaction statement will be sent by post to your address as shown in the share register at the Record Date and will seek instructions from you as to how you would like us to deal with the proceeds, which may include payment by direct credit or cheque.

7. What if my shares are held in a CHESS holding?

If your shares remain in a CHESS holding at 5:00pm (Sydney time) on the Closing Date, the Company may move those shares to an issuer sponsored holding and the shares will be sold through the Facility.

8. Where can I get further information concerning the Facility?

If you have any questions concerning the Facility, please contact PLT's Company Secretary on (02) 8072 1400 during normal office hours.

Important notes

The Facility has been established in accordance with the Company's Constitution and ASX Listing Rules.

This letter does not constitute advice nor a recommendation to buy, sell or hold shares nor that the Facility is the best way to sell PLT shares. If you are in any doubt about what to do, you should consult your legal, financial or taxation adviser.

PLT reserves the right to vary the Facility, to change any of the dates referred to in this letter by notice to the ASX or not to proceed with the sales under the Facility.
