Dear Shareholder
Pro-Pac Packaging Limited (ASX Code: PPG) Non Renounceable Rights Offer Notification of information contained in Appendix 3B lodged on 10 October 2017
This letter is to notify you that on 10 October 2017, Pro-Pac Packaging Limited (PPG) announced to the ASX a non-renounceable, pro-rata entitlement offer to eligible shareholders (Entitlement Offer). You will receive your copy of the entitlement offer booklet (Offer Booklet) and the Entitlement and Acceptance Form shortly. The Offer Booklet has been lodged with the ASX and is available on the ASX website (www.asx.com.au) and the PPG's website (http://www.pro-pac.com.au/).
The offer is for 2 new PPG shares (New Shares) for every 3 existing shares held as at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on 13 October 2017 (Record Date) at an issue price of \$0.34 per share. Approximately 161.2 million New Shares are expected to be issued under the Entitlement Offer (the number of shares will depend on the rounding of fractional entitlements on the Record Date and the number of shares held on that date by ineligible shareholders), to raise a maximum amount of \$54.8 million.
The Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten by Bell Potter Securities Limited (Bell Potter). Bell has received signed firm commitments from existing shareholders and/or institutional investors to either take up their rights or sub-underwrite the Entitlement Offer. PPG's major shareholder, Bennamon Pty Ltd, has committed to taking up its pro-rata entitlement of \$28.1 million.
On 11 September 2017, PPG announced it had entered into a binding agreement to acquire 100% of Integrated Packaging Group Pty Limited ACN 132 697 664 and its subsidiaries (IPG) in consideration for \$177.5 million (Acquisition). It is intended that the gross proceeds raised from the Entitlement Offer will be used to partly fund the cash consideration for the Acquisition.
This offer is open to PPG shareholders as at the Record Date with registered addresses in Australia and New Zealand. Please note that shareholders at the Record Date with a registered address outside Australia or New Zealand (Overseas Shareholders) will not be eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer.
PPG will seek quotation on the ASX of the New Shares issued pursuant to the Entitlement Offer.
