Dear Shareholder

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

I am pleased to invite you to attend the Annual General Meeting of Petratherm Ltd to be held at the Victoria Room, Hilton Adelaide, 233 Victoria Square, Adelaide, South Australia on Thursday 27 November 2008 at 2.00 pm.

The Australian Government introduced legislation in 2007 changing the default option for receiving annual reports to be via a Company's web site. As a result, an electronic copy of the 2008 Annual Report is available on the Company's website at http://www.petratherm.com.au/reports/index.htm. The 2008 Annual Report has also been sent by post to those shareholders who have previously elected to receive a hard copy. In addition, the Company has also enabled online voting, details of which are explained on the Proxy Form

If you are unable to attend the meeting in person, I encourage you to return the enclosed Proxy Form. The Proxy Form should be returned by post or faxed to the Company's Office or Share Registry so that it may be received by 2.00 pm on Tuesday 25 November 2008.
