Chairman’s Letter

10 October 2017

Dear Shareholder,

On 11 September 2017, Pro-Pac Packaging Limited ( 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 to be satisfied in part by cash consideration of $117.5 million and equity consideration of $60 million worth of ordinary shares in PPG, subject to certain purchase price adjustments (including for working capital) ( Acquisition ).

PPG is proposing to partially fund the cash consideration for the Acquisition by way of a 2 for 3 fully underwritten, pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement offer of new fully paid ordinary shares in PPG ( New Shares ) at an offer price of $0.34 ( Offer Price ) per New Share ( Entitlement Offer ).

The Directors of PPG are pleased to invite you to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

It is intended that the gross proceeds raised from the Offer will be approximately $54.8 million, and will be used to partly fund the cash consideration for the Acquisition. The balance of the cash consideration for the Acquisition will be funded from debt facilities.

Details of the Acquisition

The Acquisition is a strategically compelling transaction to strengthen PPG’s presence in the flexible and industrial packaging market.

Further information about the Acquisition, including its strategic rationale and financial benefits, is contained in PPG’s market announcement and Investor Presentation lodged with the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ) on 11 September 2017 (and included in this Offer Booklet in section 4).

The Acquisition is subject to certain conditions appropriate for a transaction of this size and scale, including shareholder approval, and is expected to complete on 6 November 2017, with an effective date of 1 September 2017.

PPG has obtained commitment from its major shareholders – Bennamon Pty Limited, which holds 123,792,007 Shares (51.2%) and Brandon Penn who holds 24,958,817 Shares (10.32%) at the date of the notice of meeting sent to shareholders on 26 September 2017 – that they will vote in favour of the Acquisition at PPG's upcoming shareholder meeting. If shareholder approval is not obtained (an unlikely outcome), PPG will consider options in relation to the use of funds raised.

Details of the Entitlement Offer

This Offer Booklet ( Offer Booklet ) sets out the terms of the Entitlement Offer.

Under the Entitlement Offer, eligible retail shareholders are entitled to subscribe for 2 New Shares for every 3 existing fully paid ordinary shares in PPG ( Entitlement ) held at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on 13 October 2017 ( Record Date ), at the Offer Price of $0.34 per New Share.

The price at which Shares trade on ASX during the period prior to the close of the Entitlement Offer may go up or down and you should check the current trading price of Shares before making a decision in relation to your Entitlements.

The pro-rata nature of the Entitlement Offer favours existing PPG shareholders in recognition of their continuing support, and provides an equitable mechanism for shareholders to maintain their level of ownership in PPG.

The Entitlement Offer is expected to raise approximately $54.8 million.

New Shares will be issued on a fully paid basis and will rank equally with existing Shares on issue. The Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten by Bell Potter Securities Limited ( Underwriter ).

  • 7 -

OR

  • lodging your Entitlement and Acceptance Form, together with payment of Application Monies, by cheque, bank draft or money order so that it is received by the Share Registry by 5:00pm (Sydney time) on 30 October 2017.

If you do not wish to take up your Entitlement, you do not have to take any action.

Additional information

Further information on the Entitlement Offer is detailed in this Offer Booklet. You should read the entirety of this Offer Booklet carefully (including the “Key Risks” section of the Investor Presentation released to ASX on 11 September 2017) before deciding whether to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

If you have any further questions about the Entitlement Offer, you should seek advice from your stockbroker, accountant or other independent professional adviser, or you can call the PPG Offer Information Line on 02 9290 9600 (within Australia) or +61 2 9290 9600 (outside Australia) at any time between 8:30am and 5:00pm (Sydney time) on Monday to Friday during the Entitlement Offer period.

Ahmed Fahour Chairman Pro-Pac Packaging Limited

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable. Accordingly, Entitlements do not trade on the ASX, nor can they be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of.

Eligible Shareholders are invited to take up all or part of their Entitlements. Those Entitlements can be taken up in whole or part.

The Entitlement Offer opens at 10:00am (Sydney time) on 18 October 2017 and closes at 5:00pm (Sydney time) on 30 October 2017. The Offer Booklet will be dispatched on 18 October, along with a personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, to Eligible Shareholders.

New Shares will be issued on a fully paid basis and will rank equally with existing Shares on issue.

The Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten by Bell Potter Securities Limited ( Underwriter ).

The Entitlement Offer is being made pursuant to section 708AA of the Corporations Act which allows rights issues to be offered without a prospectus, provided certain conditions are satisfied.

As a result, this offer is not being made under a prospectus and it is important for Eligible Shareholders to read and understand the information on PPG and the Entitlement Offer made publicly available by PPG, prior to taking up all or part of their Entitlement. Please refer to section 4.

1.2 Who is eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer?

Under the Entitlement Offer, Eligible Shareholders are being offered the opportunity to subscribe for 2 New Shares for every 3 existing Shares held as at the Record Date (7:00pm (Sydney time) on 13 October 2017), at the Offer Price of $0.34 per New Share. Eligible Shareholders are those Shareholders who:

  • (a) are registered as a holder of Shares as at the Record Date, being 7:00pm (Sydney time) on 13 October 2017;

  • (b) as at the Record Date, have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand;

  • (c) are not in the United States and are not acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States (to the extent they are holding Shares for the account or benefit of such person in the United States); and

  • (d) are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Entitlement Offer without any requirement for a prospectus or offer document to be lodged or registered.

1.3 What is your Entitlement?

Your Entitlement is set out on the accompanying personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and has been calculated as 2 New Shares for every 3 existing Shares you held as at the Record Date, being 7:00pm (Sydney time) on 13 October 2017. If the result is not a whole number, your Entitlement will be rounded up to the nearest whole number. If you have more than one registered holding of Shares, you will be sent more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and you will have separate Entitlements for each separate holding.

1.4 Can you trade your Entitlement?

  • 11 -

1.5 ASX quotation

Subject to approval being granted, quotation of the New Shares is expected to commence on 7 November 2017 for New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer (on a settlement basis).

Holding statements will be despatched in accordance with the Listing Rules. It is the responsibility of each applicant to confirm their holding before trading in New Shares. Any applicant who sells New Shares before receiving confirmation of their holding in the form of a holding statement will do so at their own risk. PPG and the Underwriter disclaim all liability (to the maximum extent permitted by law) to persons who trade New Shares before receiving their holding statements, whether on the basis of confirmation of the allocation provided by PPG, the Underwriter or the Share Registry or otherwise.

1.6

Ineligible Shareholders

All Shareholders who are not Eligible Shareholders are ineligible Shareholders ( Ineligible Shareholders ). Ineligible Shareholders will not be entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

PPG has determined that it would be unreasonable on this occasion to extend the Entitlement Offer to Ineligible Shareholders, having regard to the number of securities held by Ineligible Shareholders, the number and value of New Shares that they would be offered and the costs of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements which would apply to an offer of securities to Ineligible Shareholders in those places.

  • (a) General

The Offer Price of $0.34 per New Share accepted is payable on acceptance of your Entitlement. You can pay in the following ways:

(b) Payment by BPAY®

For payment by BPAY®, please follow the instructions on the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form (which includes the biller code and your unique reference number) or online at http://www.ppgaust.com.au/investor-relations/dividends-and-capital. You can only make a payment via BPAY® if you are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY® transactions.

If you are paying by BPAY®, please make sure to use the specific Biller Code and unique Reference Number on your Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

If you have multiple holdings and receive more than one Entitlement and Acceptance Form, when taking up your Entitlement in respect of one of those holdings, please only use the Reference Number specific to the Entitlement on that Form. If you do not use the correct Reference Number specific to that holding, or inadvertently use the same Reference Number for more than one of your Entitlements, your application will not be recognised as valid.

Please note that should you choose to pay by BPAY®:

  • you do not need to submit the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the statements on that personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form; and

  • if you do not pay for your full Entitlement, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of New Shares which is covered in full by your Application Monies.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your BPAY® payment is received by the Share Registry by no later than 5:00pm (Sydney time) on 30 October 2017. You should be aware that your financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regard to electronic payment and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment.

Your cheque, bank draft or money order must be:

  • for an amount equal to $0.34 multiplied by the number of New Shares that you are applying for;

  • in Australian currency drawn on an Australian branch of a financial institution; and

  • payable to “Pro-Pac Packaging Limited” and crossed “Not Negotiable”.

If you wish to pay by cheque, bank draft or money order, you must also complete your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form in accordance with the instructions set out on that form and return it to the Share Registry accompanied by a cheque, bank draft or money order.

You should ensure that sufficient funds are held in the relevant account(s) to cover the Application Monies. If the amount of your cheque for Application Monies (or the amount for which the cheque clears in time for allocation) is insufficient to pay in full for the number of New Shares you have applied for in your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, you will be taken to have applied for such lower number of whole New Shares as your cleared Application Monies will pay for (and you will be taken to have specified that number of New Shares on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form).

Alternatively, your application will not be accepted.

3 Australian Tax Implications

This section summarises the general Australian taxation implications of the Entitlement Offer for Australian resident Eligible Shareholders who hold their Shares on capital account for Australian income tax purposes.

These comments do not apply to:

  • Eligible Shareholders who are not residents of Australia for tax purposes; or

  • Eligible Shareholders who carry on a business of life insurance or hold their Shares on revenue account (rather than on capital account) or as trading stock for Australian income tax purposes; or

  • an Entitlement issued in respect of Shares previously acquired under an employee share scheme; or

  • Eligible Shareholders that are subject to the Taxation of Financial Arrangements provisions in Division 230 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) in respect of their holding of existing Shares, New Shares or Entitlements.

These comments are general in nature. The tax implications of the Entitlement Offer will depend upon each Eligible Shareholder’s specific circumstances. Accordingly, all Eligible Shareholders should seek their own independent taxation advice before reaching any conclusions as to the possible taxation consequences of the Entitlement Offer. Neither PPG, nor any of its officers, nor its taxation adviser, nor any other adviser to PPG, accepts any liability or responsibility in respect of any statement concerning the taxation consequences of the Entitlement Offer.

These comments do not address the taxation implications of the Entitlement Offer under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of Australia. These comments are based on Australian law and administrative practice as at the time of issue of the Offer Booklet.

3.1 Income tax consequences of Entitlements

  • (a) Issue of Entitlements

The issue of an Entitlement should not result in an amount being included in the assessable income of an Eligible Shareholder.

(b) Exercise of Entitlements

The exercise of an Entitlement should not result in an amount being included in the assessable income of an Eligible Shareholder.

(c) Lapse of Entitlements

The lapse of an Entitlement should not result in an amount being included in the assessable income of an Eligible Shareholder.

3.2 Income tax consequences of New Shares

Eligible Shareholders who exercise their Entitlements will acquire New Shares on the date the New Shares are issued.

(a) Taxation of dividends on New Shares

Where dividends on a New Share are paid by PPG, those dividends will constitute assessable income of an Eligible Shareholder.

An Eligible Shareholder that is an individual or complying superannuation entity should include the dividend in their assessable income in the year the dividend is paid, together with any franking credit attached to that dividend. Such an Eligible Shareholder should be entitled to a tax offset equal to the franking credit attached to the dividend subject to satisfying the ‘holding period’ and ‘related payment’ rules (refer to comments below). The

  • 19 -

tax offset can be applied to reduce the Eligible Shareholder's tax payable. Where the tax offset exceeds the Eligible Shareholder's tax payable, such Eligible Shareholder should be entitled to a refund equal to the excess tax offsets.

An Eligible Shareholder that is a company should include the dividend in their assessable income in the year the dividend is paid, together with any franking credit attached to that dividend. Such an Eligible Shareholder should be entitled to a tax offset equal to the franking credit attached to the dividend subject to satisfying the ‘holding period’ and ‘related payment’ rules (refer to comments below). Such an Eligible Shareholder should be entitled to a credit in its own franking account to the extent of the franking credits attached to the dividend received. Where the tax offset exceeds the Eligible Shareholder's tax payable, such an Eligible Shareholder should not be entitled to a refund, but the excess tax offset may be able to be converted into carry forward tax losses in certain circumstances.

An Eligible Shareholder who is a trustee (other than a trustee of a complying superannuation entity) or partnership should include the dividend in the net income of the trust or partnership in the year the dividend is paid, together with any franking credit attached to that dividend. A beneficiary or partner may be entitled to a tax offset in proportion to the respective beneficiary's or partner's share of the net income of the trust or partnership subject to satisfying the ‘holding period’ and ‘related payment’ rules (refer to comments below).

Where a dividend paid by PPG is wholly or partly unfranked, the Eligible Shareholder should include the unfranked amount in their assessable income and there will be no tax offset entitlement.

(b) Holding period and related payments rules

In order to be eligible for the benefit of franking credits and tax offsets, an Eligible Shareholder must satisfy both the 'holding period' and 'related payment' rules. This broadly requires that an Eligible Shareholder holds the New Shares 'at risk' for more than 45 days continuously (not including the date of acquisition and disposal).

The holding period commences on the day after the Eligible Shareholder acquires the New Shares and ending on the 45th day after the New Shares become ex-dividend.

Any day on which an Eligible Shareholder has a materially diminished risk of loss or opportunity for gain in respect of the New Shares will not be counted as a day on which the Eligible Shareholder held the shares 'at risk'.

Where these rules are not satisfied, the Eligible Shareholder will not be able to include an amount for the franking credits in their assessable income and will not be entitled to a tax offset.

The holding period rule is subject to certain exceptions, including where the total franking offsets of an individual in a year of income do not exceed A$5,000.

The related payment rule applies where the Eligible Shareholder has made, or is under an obligation to make, a related payment in relation to a dividend paid by PPG. The related payment rule requires the Eligible Shareholder to have held the New Shares at risk for a period commencing on the 45th day before, and ending on the 45th day after, the day the New Shares become ex-dividend.

(c)

Disposal of New Shares

Eligible Shareholders should make a capital gain from the disposal of New Shares where the capital proceeds from the disposal are more than the cost base of the New Shares. Eligible Shareholders should make a capital loss from the disposal of New Shares where the capital proceeds from the disposal are less than the reduced cost base of the New Shares.. The cost base and reduced cost base of the New Shares should initially be equal to the Offer Price paid by the Eligible Shareholder for the New Shares plus certain non-deductible incidental costs incurred in acquiring the New Shares (if any).

  • 20 -

If an Eligible Shareholder is an individual, trust or complying superannuation fund and has held their New Shares for 12 months or more (excluding the date of acquisition and disposal) at the time of disposal, the Eligible Shareholder should be entitled to a CGT discount on the disposal of New Shares subject to satisfying other requirements. The applicable CGT discount is 50% for individuals and trustees and 33⅓% for complying superannuation funds. The CGT discount is not available to a company other than a company acting in the capacity of a trustee for an individual or superannuation fund.

If a capital loss arises on the disposal of New Shares, the capital loss can only be utilised to offset capital gains. The capital loss cannot be utilised to offset against other types of ordinary or statutory income. However, if the capital loss cannot be utilised in a particular income year it may be carried forward and utilised to offset capital gains in future income years, provided the applicable loss utilisation tests are satisfied.

(d) Provision of TFN or ABN

You are not required to provide your TFN or ABN to PPG.

However, PPG may be required to withhold an amount at the top marginal tax rate plus Medicare levy from the payment of certain distributions to you on your Shares where you have not provided PPG with your Tax File Number (TFN), or in certain circumstances your Australian Business Number (ABN), or you have not notified PPG that you are exempt from providing this information.

(e) GST

The taking up of the New Shares may be classified as a "financial supply" for Australian GST purposes. GST will not be payable in respect of amounts paid for the acquisition of the New Shares. Subject to certain requirements, there may be a restriction on the entitlement of GST registered Eligible Shareholders to claim an input tax credit for any GST incurred on costs associated with the acquisition of New Shares.

(f) Stamp Duty

No stamp duty should be payable for subscribing for New Shares under the Entitlement Offer provided no person, either alone or with associated or related persons, obtains a 90% or more interest in PPG.

Legal/49309851_1

Pro-Pac Chairman, Ahmed Fahour, said: “ The acquisition of IPG represents a significant milestone in the realisation of Pro-Pac’s vision to become the preeminent flexible and industrial packaging manufacturer and distributor in Australia. The opportunity to combine two very complementary businesses will deliver significant long-term value to Pro-Pac shareholders.

The effective date for the transfer of the IPG shares to Pro-Pac will be 1 September 2017, notwithstanding that completion of the Merger is expected to occur in early November 2017.

Strategic Rationale for the Merger

The Pro-Pac Board believes that there is strong commercial and strategic rationale for the IPG acquisition.

1. Merger of Pro-Pac and IPG to create a leader in the growing flexible manufacturing and distribution segment

  • Pro-Pac Pro-forma FY18F revenue of $472 million[1,2] , Pro-forma EBITDA of $37.7 million1[,2] , and Pro-forma net profit after tax of $18.4 million[1,2]

  • Expected to be 18% EPS accretive on a Pro-forma FY18F basis[1,] 2

  • High free cash flow generation to fund growth initiatives

  • Opportunity to lead consolidation of the sector with strong pipeline of bolt-on acquisition opportunities

  • Positioned to capitalise on growing flexibles market backed by favourable and resilient consumer trends (e.g. fresh food and food safety) encompassing primary, secondary and tertiary packaging products

2. Extended capability with greater efficiency

  • World class manufacturing and proven product innovation capability

  • Immediate access to international markets with further opportunities for export expansion

  • Combination of Pro-Pac’s distribution and IPG’s manufacturing delivers a highly efficient and seamless packaging system

  • Complementary blue-chip customer base with no material crossover

  • Significant cost synergies and cross selling opportunities with $2.0 million identified in the near term

3. Strengthened Board & Management Team

  • Rupert Harrington, Executive Chairman of Advent, to join Pro-Pac Board from completion of the Merger

  • John Cerini, current CEO of IPG, to lead Pro-Pac Industrial & Flexibles Division from completion of the Merger

4. Enhanced liquidity and profile

  • Capital raising has the potential to bring new high quality institutional investors onto the register

1 Pro-forma earnings excluding the timing impact of gains relating to capital investments 2 Inclusive of $2.0m in near term pre-tax synergies, tax effected at the NPAT line

Pro-Pac CEO, Grant Harrod said: “The combination of Pro-Pac and IPG provides many exciting opportunities in the growing Australian flexibles packaging market. Pro-Pac’s expanded capacity to manufacture and distribute high quality products will delight our customer base and provide us with a one-stop-shop offering. Pro-Pac will be a world class manufacturer without geographic constraints as we increase our offerings in key areas such as food service and agriculture film.”

Conditions of the Merger

The implementation of the Merger is conditional on the following events:

  • Pro-Pac shareholder approval for the issue of shares to the Vendors;

  • PPG completing a fundraising of $54.8 million under the Entitlement Offer;

  • PPG procuring a W&I Policy on terms acceptable to PPG and the Vendors; and

  • the conditions under the debt facility being satisfied by PPG.

The Purchase Price is subject to customary adjustments for working capital and net debt.

Pro-Pac may terminate the SSA if there is a material adverse change prior to completion that results in IPG's consolidated EBITDA for FY18 being 20% less than its forecast. The Vendors may terminate if there is a material adverse change prior to completion that results in either IPG's or PPG's consolidated EBITDA for FY18 being 20% less than its forecast.

The SSA contains usual representations and warranties for a transaction of this nature. If completion of the Merger does not occur by 1 December 2017, Pro-Pac has undertaken to pay the Vendors interest on the Purchase Price of 11% per annum.

PPG has obtained the commitment of its major shareholders – Bennamon Pty Limited, which holds 123,792,007 shares (51.2%) and Brandon Penn who holds 24,958,817 shares (10.32%) at the date of this announcement – to vote in favour of the issue of the consideration shares to the Vendors at the upcoming Extraordinary General Meeting, in the absence of a superior proposal.

Capital Raising

Pro-Pac also announces a fully underwritten equity raising of $54.8 million via a 2 for 3 nonrenounceable rights issue at an issue price of $0.34 per new share (“Entitlement Offer”).

The Entitlement Offer price represents:

  • a 10.2% discount to the 30-day VWAP of Pro-Pac shares prior to the announcement of the Merger; and

  • a 10.2% discount to the price of shares issued to the Vendors.

Proceeds from the Entitlement Offer will be used to partially fund the cash component of the Purchase Price and transaction costs of approximately $7.3 million.

Approximately 161.2 million new Pro-Pac shares are expected to be issued under the Entitlement Offer. The new ordinary shares will rank equally with existing ordinary shares and will not be eligible for the FY17 final dividend.

The Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten by Bell Potter Securities Limited.

Pro-Pac major shareholder Bennamon Pty Ltd has committed to taking up its pro-rata entitlement of $28.1 million.

The Entitlement Offer is not conditional on completion of the Merger. In the event that the Merger does not complete for any reason, Pro-Pac will consider options in relation to the use of funds raised. In the event that the Merger does not complete for any reason, the underwriter is entitled to terminate its obligation to underwrite the Entitlement Offer.

Effect of the Merger and Entitlement Offer on the Capital Structure of Pro-Pac

The Vendors will hold 28.2% of Pro-Pac upon completion of the Merger and Entitlement Offer. The Vendors will also enter into a voluntary escrow arrangement for their entire shareholding. The escrow arrangements are, subject to certain conditions, that the Vendors will be able to sell 50% of their holdings after the release of the Company’s FY18 results, and the remaining 50% after the release of the FY19 results.3 Under the SSA, Advent is entitled to nominate a director to the Board of Pro-Pac for as long as it maintains a minimum 10% shareholding in Pro-Pac.

The effect of the Merger and Entitlement Offer on the fully diluted capital structure of Pro-Pac is shown in the following table:

Prior to Merger + Prior to Merger + Post completion of Merger Post completion of Merger
Entitlement Offer + Entitlement Offer
#million % #million %
Bennamon Pty Ltd 123.8 51.2% 206.3 36.8%
Advent and IPG management - - 158.4 28.2%
Other Pro-Pac shareholders 118.0 48.8% 196.6 35.0%
Total 241.8 100.0% 561.4 100.0%

Board and Management

Pro-Pac also announces the appointment of highly experienced executives to its Board and senior management team. Mr Rupert Harrington will be appointed to the Board as a Non-Executive Director from completion of the Merger. Rupert is currently the Executive Chairman of Advent and has extensive corporate experience, having been a director of over 20 of Advent investees’ companies operating in manufacturing, services, health, technology and more.

Mr John Cerini, the CEO of IPG since 2003, will be appointed to lead Pro-Pac’s Industrial & Flexible Division from completion of the Merger. Prior to joining IPG, John was a senior executive and Divisional General Manager in the Amcor packaging business for ten years and CEO of Detmold Packaging for five years.

3 The Vendors may deal with up to 100% of their escrowed shares at any time after the FY18 results if the 90 day VWAP of the shares after the announcement of the FY18 results exceeds the issue price of the shares by 40% or more.

10 October 2017

Commencement of Pro-Pac's fully underwritten $54.8 million equity raising

Key Highlights

  • Commencement of fully underwritten 2 for 3 non-renounceable entitlement offer at $0.34 per share to raise up to $54.8 million.

  • Proceeds from the entitlement offer will be used to partially fund the cash component of the merger with Integrated Packaging Group Pty Ltd.

  • Confirmation of support from Pro-Pac's major shareholder, Benammon Pty Ltd.

  • Entitlement offer is fully underwritten by Bell Potter Securities Limited.

Entitlement Offer

On 11 September 2017, Pro-Pac announced that it had entered into a Share Sale Agreement to merge with Integrated Packaging Group Pty Ltd for $177.5 million (the “ Merger ”).

As foreshadowed in Pro-Pac's announcement of the Merger, it is a condition of the Merger that Pro-Pac undertakes a fully underwritten 2 for 3 non-renounceable entitlement offer at $0.34 per share to raise up to $54.8 million.

Accordingly, existing Pro-Pac shareholders are being offered the opportunity to acquire fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of Pro-Pac (" New Shares ") via a non-renounceable entitlement offer on the basis of 2 New Shares for every 3 existing shares held by eligible shareholders registered at 7:00pm (ADST) on Friday, 13 October 2017 (" Record Date "), at an issue price of $0.34 per New Share (" Offer Price ") to raise up to approximately $54.8 million before costs (“ Entitlement Offer ”).

The Offer Price represents a 10.2% discount to the 30-day VWAP of Pro-Pac shares prior to the announcement on 11 September 2017, or a 14.7% discount to the VWAP following the announcement.

Eligible shareholders will comprise those shareholders with a registered address in Australia and New Zealand at the Record Date.

Approximately 161.2 million New Shares are expected to be issued under the Entitlement Offer, depending on the rounding of fractional entitlements on the Record Date and the number of shares held on that date by ineligible shareholders. The New Shares will rank equally with existing ordinary shares but will not be eligible for the FY17 final dividend.

The Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten by Bell Potter Securities Limited ( Underwriter ).

Pro-Pac major shareholder Bennamon Pty Ltd has committed to taking up its pro-rata entitlement of $28.1 million.

The Entitlement Offer is not conditional on completion of the Merger. If the Merger does not complete for any reason, Pro-Pac will consider options in relation to the use of funds raised.

If the Merger does not complete for any reason, the Underwriter is entitled to terminate its obligation to underwrite the Entitlement Offer.

KEY RISKS

Page 26

General risks

Investment Risk: There are risks associated with any investment in a company listed on the ASX. The value of shares may rise above or below the current share price depending on the financial and operating performance of PPG and external factors over which PPG and the Directors have no control. These external factors include: economic conditions in Australia and overseas which may have a negative impact on equity capital markets; changing investor sentiment in the local and international stock markets; changes in domestic or international fiscal, monetary, regulatory and other government policies and developments and general conditions in the markets in which PPG proposes to operate and which may impact on the future value and pricing of shares. No assurances can be given that the New Shares will trade at or above the Offer Price. None of PPG, its Board or any other person guarantees the market performance of the New Shares.

General Economic Conditions: Adverse changes in economic conditions such as interest rates, exchange rates, inflation, government policy, national and international economic conditions and employment rates amongst others are outside PPG’s control and have the potential to have an adverse impact on PPG and its operations.

Liquidity risk: There may be few or many potential buyers or sellers of PPG Shares on the ASX at any time. This may affect the volatility of the market price of PPG's shares. It may also affect the prevailing market price at which shareholders are able to sell their PPG shares.

Taxation: Future changes in taxation law, including changes in interpretation or application of the law by the courts or taxation authorities, may affect taxation treatment of an investment in PPG shares or the holding and disposal of those shares. Further, changes in tax law, or changes in the way tax law is expected to be interpreted, in the various jurisdictions in which PPG operates, may impact the future tax liabilities and performance of PPG. Any changes to the current rates of income tax applying to individuals and trusts will similarly impact on shareholder returns.

Major Shareholder Risk: PPG currently has a substantial shareholder on its share register. There is a risk that this shareholder, future substantial shareholders, or any other large shareholders may sell their shares at a future date. This could cause the price of PPG shares to decline.

Risk of Dividends Not Being Paid: The payment of dividends is announced at the time of release of PPG half year and full year results as determined by the Board from time to time at its discretion, dependent on the profitability and cash flow of PPG’s businesses. While PPG has a stated dividend policy, circumstances may arise where PPG is required to reduce or cease paying dividends for a period of time.

Page 27

Operational risks

Competition risk: PPG operates in highly competitive markets, dealing with large sophisticated clients who regularly competitively review all supplier arrangements. The loss of any customers may negatively impact earnings . Additionally, the risk from increased competition and new alternative packaging products may negatively impact on sales and profitability.

Key input costs: PPG has a number of key input costs including resin, labour and energy. An increase in the prices of any of these inputs may have a negative impact on costs and profitability

Currency risk: An investment in PPG will include indirect exposure to currency fluctuations. The impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations is mitigated by the purchase of forward foreign exchange contracts, holding suitable levels of inventory and through price adjustments passed on to customers. If PPG’s hedging strategies are not successful, PPG may experience financial loss. As an domestic Australian manufacturer,

Loss of key personnel: PPG’s performance depends significantly on its key management personnel managing and growing its business and responding to customers’ needs. The loss of such personnel or any delay in their replacement may adversely affect PPG’s ability to develop and implement its business strategies and ultimately adversely affect PPG’s business, operating and financial performance.

Page 28

Acquisition and Offer risks

Underwriting risk: PPG has entered into an Underwriting Agreement under which the Underwriter has agreed to fully underwrite the Offer, subject to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement. The Underwriter’s obligation to underwrite the Offer is conditional on certain customary matters, including PPG delivering certain certificates, sign-offs and opinions. Further, if certain events occur, some of which are beyond PPG’s control, the Underwriter may terminate the Underwriting Agreement, including if:

  • the acquisition does not proceed for a number of reasons including if the acquisition does not complete or there is an event of default under the debt facility agreement or the acquisition agreement is terminated, the agreement is amended, varied in any respect, breached, rescinded or terminated;

  • there are certain delays in the timetable for the Entitlement Offer, without the Lead Managers’ consent;

  • there are certain financial or economic disruptions in key market or hostilities commence or escalate in certain key countries;

  • there is a change in the board or certain senior management changes;

  • an adverse change, or an event that is likely to lead to an adverse change, occurs in the assets, liabilities, financial position or performance, profits, losses or prospects of PPG or the PPG Group from that disclosed to ASX up to, and including, the Announcement Date; or

  • a voting intention statement made by a shareholder in relation to voting in favour of the Merger withdrawn or a Major Shareholder (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) sells or transfers any of the shares they hold or control or acts contrary to their voting intention statement and a condition specified in that voting intention statement is triggered or satisfied.

The ability of the Underwriters to terminate the Underwriting Agreement in respect of some events will depend on whether the event has or is likely to have a material adverse effect on the success, marketing or settlement of the Offer, the value of the securities, or the willingness of investors to subscribe for securities, or where they may give rise to liability for the Underwriters. Termination of the Underwriting Agreement would have an adverse impact on the amount of proceeds raised under the Offer and could affect PPG’s ability to pay the purchase price for the IPG acquisition. PPG would need to find alternative funding to meet its contractual obligations under the acquisition agreement to pay the purchase price. Termination of the Underwriting Agreement could materially adversely affect PPG’s business, cash flow, financial performance, financial condition and share price. If the Underwriting Agreement is terminated and PPG is unable to source alternate funding, it may be unable to complete the Merger.

The Entitlement Offer is not conditional on completion of the Merger. In the event that the Merger does not complete for any reason, Pro-Pac will consider options in relation to the use of funds raised. In the event that the merger does not complete for any reason, the Underwriter is entitled to terminate its obligation to underwrite the Entitlement Offer.
