SECTION 2 - DETAILS OF THE ENTITLEMENT OFFER

2.1 Overview of the Entitlement Offer

Petratherm is undertaking a non-renounceable 1 for 1 pro-rata non-renounceable Entitlement Offer.

If you are an Eligible Shareholder you may apply for 1 New Share for every 1 Existing Share held at 7:00pm Adelaide time on 11 February 2015 ( Record Date ). This is called your Entitlement .

On Application, the Applicant must pay the Offer Price of $0.002 for each New Share the Applicant wishes to apply for in full.

As the Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten, on completion of the Entitlement Offer the Company will:

  • (a) issue 252,277,951 New Shares; and

  • (b) have raised $504,556 (before costs).

The Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten by Taylor Collison. Under the terms of the underwriting agreement between the Company and Taylor Collison ( Underwriting Agreement ), the Underwriter may in consultation with the Company procure sub-underwriters to sub-underwrite a portion of the New Shares as the Underwriter thinks fit.

Eligible Shareholders will be sent the Offer Booklet and a personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

Eligible Shareholders are invited to subscribe for all or part of their Entitlement under the Entitlement Offer and may also apply for Additional New Shares. To the extent that Shareholders do not participate in the Entitlement Offer, their percentage shareholding in the Company will be diluted.

2.2 Purpose of the Equity Raising

Petratherm’s cash position at the end of December 2014 was approximately $260,000. As the Offer is fully underwritten, and provided that the Underwriting Agreement is not terminated, the Entitlement Offer will provide the Company with additional funds of $504,556 (before costs).

On this basis, on completion of the Entitlement Offer (before costs), the Company will have approximately $764,556 in cash (made up of $504,556 raised under the Entitlement Offer and $260,000 cash balances at 31 December 2014 (before expenses incurred from 1 January 2015 to the date of this Offer Booklet)).

2.3 Use of funds

As noted in Section 1, the Company is undertaking the Entitlement Offer for the primary purpose of:

  • (a) funding new projects or joint ventures; and

  • (b) providing working capital to the Company generally.

The funds raised under the Entitlement Offer, combined with those noted in Section 2.2 will be allocated as set out in the table below:

Item Anticipated funds required
Funding new projects or joint ventures $484,556
Working capital $280,000

8

2.4 New Shares

The Offer Price is payable in full by Eligible Shareholders on acceptance of the Entitlement Offer.

The Directors may at any time decide to withdraw this Offer Booklet and the Entitlement Offer made under it, in which case the Company will return all Application Monies (without interest) as soon as practicable.

(a) Rank

The New Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares and will rank equally in all respects from the date of allotment with the Existing Shares.

(b) Allotment

New Shares taken up under the Entitlement Offer are expected to be allotted on 4 March 2015 (subject to any changes in the timetable set out in Section 1, at the discretion of the Directors and the Underwriter, having regard to the Corporations Act and Listing Rules).

It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine their allocation prior to trading in New Shares. Applicants who sell New Shares before they receive their new holding statements following the issue of New Shares to them will do so at their own risk.

(c) ASX quotation of New Shares

The Company will apply to ASX for official quotation of the New Shares. If ASX does not grant permission for official quotation of the New Shares, all Application Monies will be returned, without interest, as soon as practicable.

2.5 Entitlements

The number of New Shares to which Eligible Shareholders are entitled is shown on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form accompanying this Offer Booklet.

Eligible Shareholders may accept all, all and Additional New Shares, part or none of their Entitlement.

If Eligible Shareholders choose not to accept any of their Entitlements, then they are not required to do anything.

To the extent that Shareholders do not participate in the Entitlement Offer, their shareholdings in the Company will be diluted by that portion.

Detailed instructions on how to accept all or part of your Entitlement are set out in Section 3.

2.6 Additional New Shares

Eligible Shareholders who apply for their full Entitlement may also apply for Additional New Shares. Applicants for Additional New Shares ( Additional Subscribers ) will be allocated Additional New Shares from any Shortfall, which comprise New Shares equivalent to the number not taken up by Eligible Shareholders together with any New Shares that would have been offered to Ineligible Shareholders if they had been eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer (the Shortfall ).

Please note that Additional New Shares will only be allocated to you if there are sufficient New Shares available in the Shortfall, subject to any scale-back that the Company may apply (in its absolute discretion) in consultation with the Underwriter. If you apply for Additional New Shares there is no guarantee you will be allocated any. The Company has a number of shareholders with less than a marketable parcel of shares. In allocating the Shortfall the Company will give preference to these shareholders to allow them to achieve a marketable parcel, thus making their shares tradable. If you apply for Additional New Shares and are not allocated any or less than the number you applied for, the Application Monies in relation to those Additional New Shares will be returned to you, without interest, as soon as practicable.

9

2.7 Shortfall

If any Shortfall remains after the Closing Date, the Directors in conjunction with the Underwriter, reserve the right to place any Shortfall with:

  • (a) the Underwriter or any sub-underwriters (as applicable) as described further at Section 5.1;

  • (b) Additional Subscribers in accordance with Section 2.6; or

  • (c) any other parties selected by the Directors in conjunction with the Underwriter.

Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 2), any allocation of the Shortfall to the Underwriter or any sub-underwriter (if appointed) in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement, will not count towards the Company’s 15% threshold under Listing Rule 7.1, provided the Underwriter receives the New Shares within 15 business days after the close of the Entitlement Offer.

Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 3), any allocation of the Shortfall to persons other than the Underwriter or any sub-underwriter (if appointed) in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement, will not count towards the Company’s 15% threshold under Listing Rule 7.1, provided that the Company makes the issue within three months after the close of the Entitlement Offer and the issue price is not less than the price at which the Shares were offered under the Entitlement Offer. The Directors in conjunction with the Underwriter reserve the right to issue the Shortfall at their discretion.

2.8 Underwriting

The Underwriter has agreed to fully underwrite the Entitlement Offer pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. A summary of the Underwriting Agreement is set out in Section 5.1.

2.9 Persons with more than one holding

If you have more than one 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.

If you have more than one shareholding of Shares and consequently receive more than one Entitlement and Acceptance Form, when taking up your Entitlement in respect of one of those shareholdings, only use the unique reference number specific to that shareholding as set out on the applicable Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Do not use the same reference number for more than one of your shareholdings as this can result in your Application Monies being applied to your Entitlement in respect of only one of your shareholdings (with the result that any application in respect of your remaining shareholdings will not be recognised as valid).

2.10 Opening and Closing dates

The Entitlement Offer will open for receipt of acceptances on 16 February 2015.

The Closing Date and time for acceptances and payments under the Entitlement Offer is 25 February 2015 at 5:00pm Adelaide time, subject to the Directors, in conjunction with the Underwriter, varying these dates (in accordance with the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules). The Company must receive your Entitlement and Acceptance Form and payment before the Closing Date otherwise the Entitlement Offer as it applies to you as an Eligible Shareholder will lapse. Further details on the timetable for the Entitlement Offer are set out in Section 1 of this Offer Booklet.

2.11 Market Prices for Shares on ASX

The lowest and highest market prices of the Shares of the Company on ASX during the 3 months immediately preceding the date of this Offer Booklet were $0.003 and $0.007 respectively.

The volume weighted average price for Shares on the ASX over the 30 trading days preceding the date of announcement of the Entitlement Offer was $0.004. The Issue Price therefore represents a discount of approximately 50% to the 30 day volume weighted average price for Shares.

10

2.12 Application Monies

Pending the allotment of the New Shares or return of Application Monies, the Application Monies will be held in trust for Applicants. No interest will be paid on any Application Monies received or refunded.

2.13 Foreign Shareholders

The New Shares being offered under this Offer Booklet are being offered to Eligible Shareholders only and will not be offered to shareholders resident outside of Australia or New Zealand.

The Company has determined that it is not economically viable and it is unreasonable for it to make offers to Shareholders resident outside of Australia or New Zealand, having regard to the amount seeking to be raised under the Entitlement Offer and the substantial costs involved in complying with the legal and regulatory requirements in those jurisdictions.

In compliance with Listing Rule 7.7, the Company will send each Ineligible Shareholder details of this Entitlement Offer and advise them that the Company will not offer New Shares to them.

New Shares to which any Ineligible Shareholder would otherwise be entitled will form part of the Shortfall (if any) and will be dealt with by the Underwriter and the Company in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement.

2.14 Regular Reporting and disclosure

The Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and as such is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules. These obligations require the Company to notify ASX of information about specific events and matters as they arise for the purposes of ASX making that information available to the market.

In particular, the Company has an obligation (subject to certain limited exceptions) to notify ASX once it is, or becomes, aware of information concerning the Company which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Company’s securities. All announcements made by the Company are available from the ASX website asx.com.au or the Company’s website http://www.petratherm.com.au.

2.15 No rights trading

This Entitlement Offer is made on a non-renounceable basis. Eligible Shareholders who are registered as at the Record Date may not renounce, sell, transfer or deal with all or any part of their Entitlement to the New Shares which they do not wish to accept.

If you do not take up your Entitlement by the Closing Date, the Entitlement Offer will lapse, your shareholding in the Company will be diluted and any Shortfall will be dealt with in accordance with Section 5 of this Offer Booklet.

2.16 Enquiries

If you have any questions concerning your Entitlement or this Offer Booklet, please contact your professional adviser or the Share Registry, Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited on 1300 556 161 (within Australia) or +61 3 9415 4000 (outside Australia), from 8:30am to 5:00pm Adelaide time, Monday to Friday.

SECTION 4 - RISK FACTORS

Prior to deciding whether to apply for New Shares under the Entitlement Offer, Eligible Shareholders should read this Offer Booklet in its entirety and review all announcements made by the Company to the ASX in order to gain an understanding of the Company, its activities, operations, financial position and prospects.

The risks included in this Section are key risks identified by the Board as being specific to the Company and its operations as at the date of this Offer Booklet and reasonably anticipated by the Board. It is important to note that the risks listed in this Section are not an exhaustive list of the risks relevant to the Company.

Shareholders are strongly encouraged to:

  • (a) rely on their own knowledge of the Company;

  • (b) refer to disclosures made by the Company to ASX; and

  • (c) consult their professional advisers,

before deciding whether to apply for New Shares.

Announcements made by the Company to ASX are available from the ASX website www.asx.com.au or from the Company’s website www.petratherm.com.au.

The risks described in this Section may impact upon the Company’s future performance, so the Company and its Directors have endeavoured (and will continue to do so) to take steps to safeguard the Company from, and to mitigate the Company’s exposure to, these risks.

4.1 General Risks

  • (a) Share Market

Share market conditions may affect listed securities regardless of operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

 general economic outlook;

  • movements in, or outlook on, interest rates and inflation rates;

  • currency fluctuations;

  • commodity prices;

  • changes in investor sentiment towards particular market sectors; and  the demand for, and supply of, capital.

Many factors will affect the price of the New Shares including local and international stock markets, movements in commodity prices, interest rates, economic conditions and investor sentiment generally.

(b) Economic Factors

Factors such as inflation, currency fluctuation, interest rates, supply and demand and industrial disruption have an impact on operating costs, commodity prices and stock market processes. The Company’s future possible revenues and Share price can be affected by these factors which are beyond the control of the Company and its Directors.

(c) Government

Changes in government, monetary policies, taxation and other laws can have a significant influence on the outlook for companies and the returns to investors.

16

4.2 Exploration and Development

If the Company acquires exploration and development projects in the resources sector, there is a significant risk for the Company that the proposed exploration and development programs will not result in success.

Prospective investors should understand that exploration, development and production are high-risk enterprises, only occasionally providing high rewards. In addition to the normal competition for prospective ground, and the high average costs of discovery of an economic resource, factors such as demand for commodities, stock market fluctuations affecting access to new capital, sovereign risk, environmental issues, labour disruption, project financing difficulties, foreign currency fluctuations and technical problems all affect the ability of a company to profit from any discovery.

There is no assurance that exploration of any exploration interest the Company may subsequently acquire will result in the discovery of an economically viable resource. Even if an apparently viable resource is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be profitably exploited.

4.3 Licences and permits

If the Company acquires exploration and development projects in the resources sector, the Company’s mining exploration activities will be dependent upon the good standing of all required licences, concessions, leases, tenements, permits and regulatory consents. Maintaining tenements, obtaining renewals, or getting tenements granted will often depend on the Company being successful in obtaining the required statutory approvals for its proposed activities and that the licences, concessions, leases, permits or consents it holds will be renewed as and when required. There is no assurance that such renewals will be given as a matter of course and there is no assurance that new conditions will not be imposed in connection therewith.

4.4

Title of tenements

If the Company acquires exploration and development projects in the resources sector, each licence or permit will be for a specific term and carry with it annual expenditure and reporting commitments, as well as other conditions requiring compliance. Consequently, the Company could lose title to or its interest in these tenements if licence conditions are not met or if insufficient funds are available to meet expenditure commitments.

4.5

Insurance Risks

If the Company acquires exploration and development projects in the resources sector, the Company intends to insure its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances, the Company’s insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company.

Insurance against all risks associated with mining exploration and production is not always available and where available the costs can be prohibitive.

4.6

Competition Risk

If the Company acquires exploration and development projects in the resources sector, the industry in which the Company will be involved is subject to domestic and global competition. Although the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, which activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the Company’s projects and business.

17

4.7 Environmental

If the Company acquires exploration and development projects in the resources sector, the Company’s projects will be subject to both the relevant State and also Commonwealth laws and regulations relating to environmental matters. Should the Company proceed to development of one or more mines, it could be expected that such developments would have numerous environmental impacts which would require various statutory approvals to be put in place. There is no guarantee that such approvals would be granted. The Company intends to conduct its operations in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with relevant legislation. However, the Company is unable to predict the effect of future changes to environmental legislation or policy and the cost effect of such changes on its operations and financial position.

4.8 Native Title and Aboriginal Heritage

The Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) recognises certain rights of indigenous Australians over land where those rights have not been extinguished. These rights, where they exist, may impact on the ability of the Company to acquire exploration or development projects in the resources sector. In applying for certain production tenements, the Company would be required to observe the provisions of Native Title legislation (where applicable) and Aboriginal Heritage legislation which protects Aboriginal sites and objects of significance.

In certain circumstances the consent of registered Native Title claimants must be obtained prior to carrying out certain activities on land to which their claim relates. It is possible that the terms of registered Native Title agreements may restrict the Company’s ability to gain access to any tenements it may acquire and conduct exploration, development and mining operations, or that the conditions imposed by Native Title claimants on such consent may be on terms unacceptable to the Company.

4.9 Potential Acquisitions

As part of its business strategy, the Company may make acquisitions of or significant investments in companies, products, technologies or resource projects. Any such future transactions would be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making acquisitions of companies, products, technologies or resource projects.

4.10 Resource estimates

Resource estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates that are valid when made may change significantly when new information becomes available through drilling, sampling and similar examinations.

In addition, resource estimates are necessarily imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. If the Company acquires exploration and development projects in the resources sector and encounters mineralisation or formations different from those predicted, resource estimates may have to be adjusted and mining plans may have to be altered in a way which could adversely affect the Company’s operations.

4.11 Reliance on key management

The responsibility of overseeing the day to day operations and strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its Directors. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of the Directors leave the Company.

4.12 Risks associated with operations in foreign jurisdictions

If the Company acquires an investment in a foreign jurisdiction, it may be subject to the risks associated with operating in a country that will not have the same degree of political, financial and economic stability as enjoyed in Australia. Accordingly, it may be subject to various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, terrorism, hostage taking,

18

military repression, extreme fluctuations in currency exchange rates, high rates of inflation, labour unrest, the risks of war or civil unrest, expropriation and nationalisation, renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions, licences, permits and contracts, changes in taxation policies, restrictions on foreign exchange and repatriation and changing political conditions, currency controls and governmental regulations that favour or require the awarding of contracts to local contractors or require foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction.

The Company’s operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, foreign currency remittance, income taxes, expropriation of property, foreign investment, maintenance of claims, environmental legislation, land use, land claims of local people, water use and safety issues.

Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of entitlements, or the imposition of additional local or foreign parties as joint venture partners with carried or other interests.

The occurrence of these various factors and uncertainties cannot be accurately predicted and could have an adverse effect on the operations or profitability of the Company.

4.13 Investments may not be wholly owned

Resource investments (minerals and oil and gas) are often structured through joint ventures. If the Company acquires exploration and development projects in the resources sector, there is a risk that development/production activity could be disrupted in situations where there is a disagreement on development/production programs or other issues between the Company and the other parties in such joint ventures. Should such disagreements occur, this may have a deleterious impact on the Company’s operations and performance generally.

4.14 Speculative Investment

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of New Shares offered under this Offer Booklet.

Therefore, New Shares to be issued pursuant to this Offer Booklet carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those New Shares.

Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for New Shares pursuant to this Offer Booklet.

The Underwriting Agreement also contains a number of indemnities, representations and warranties from the Company to the Underwriter that are considered standard for an agreement of that type.

5.2 Effect of the Offer on control of the Company

The potential effect the Offer will have on the control of the Company is as follows:

  • (a) if all Shareholders are Eligible Shareholders and take up their Entitlements under the Offer then the Entitlement Offer will have no effect on the control of the Company;

  • (b) if not all Shareholders are Eligible Shareholders or do not take up their full Entitlements, the Shortfall will be allocated:

  • (i) to Eligible Shareholders who subscribe for Additional New Shares; and

  • (ii) by the Underwriter in consultation with the Company, to the Underwriter or any sub-underwriter (if appointed) to the Entitlement Offer (in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 2)) or any other parties selected by them.

The effect the placement of the Shortfall may have on control will depend entirely on any Additional Subscriptions by Shareholders and the allocations made by the Underwriter or any sub-underwriter (if appointed);

  • (c) if some Shareholders do not take up their Entitlements (whether because they are Ineligible Shareholders or otherwise), their equity in the Company will be diluted. The equity of Shareholders who only take up part of their Entitlement will also be diluted, but to a lesser extent;

  • (d) the Options the Company currently has on issue are not expected to be exercised prior to the Record Date as the exercise price for these Options exceeds the Offer Price and the share price on 3 February 2015, of $0.004 per Share at close of trade, therefore the Options are expected to have no effect on the Offer or the control of the Company;

  • (e) given the Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten and that the Underwriter will enter into subunderwriting arrangements with various parties, based on the structure of the Entitlement Offer and the current level of holdings of substantial shareholders, the Entitlement Offer is not expected to have a material effect or consequence on the control of the Company.

The capital structure of the Company on completion of the Entitlement Offer will be as follows (assuming none of the Options currently on issue are exercised before the Record Date):

Total number of Shares on issue immediately before the 252,277,951
Entitlement Offer
Options currently on issue 2,550,000*
Number of New Shares offered under the 252,277,951
Entitlement Offer

24

Total number of Shares on issue immediately after 504,555,902**
completion of the Entitlement Offer
Total amount to be raised from the Entitlement $504,556 (before costs)***
Offer

* The Options have exercise prices of between $0.13 and $0.20. The Board considers it reasonable to assume that none of the Options will be exercised before the Record Date given the Company’s share price as at close of trading on 3 February 2015 of $0.004.

**Assuming the Offer is fully subscribed and none of the Options currently on issue in the Company are exercised before the Record date.

***Assuming the Underwriting Agreement is not terminated.

5.3 CHESS

The Company participates in the CHESS operated by ASX Settlement Corporation ( ASX Settlement ), a wholly owned subsidiary of the ASX, in accordance with the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.

Under CHESS, the Company will not issue certificates to Applicants. Instead, Applicants will receive a statement of their holdings in the Company of New Shares. If the Applicant is broker sponsored, ASX Settlement will send them a CHESS statement.

The CHESS statement will set out the number of New Shares issued under this Offer Booklet, provide the details of a Shareholder's holder identification number, the participant identification number of the sponsor and the terms and conditions applicable to the New Shares.

If you are registered on the issuer sponsored sub-register, your statement will be dispatched by the Share Registry and will contain the number of New Shares issued to you under this Offer Booklet and your security reference number.

A CHESS statement or issuer sponsored statement will routinely be sent to Shareholders at the end of any calendar month during which the balance of their shareholding changes. Shareholders may request a statement at any other time; however a charge may apply for additional statements.

5.4 Taxation Implications

Shareholders should be aware that there may be taxation implications in participating in the Entitlement Offer and subscribing for New Shares. The taxation consequences of participating in the Entitlement Offer and/or acquiring New Shares may vary depending on the individual circumstances of each Shareholder. Before making a decision on whether or not to participate in the Entitlement Offer, Shareholders should consult their own professional taxation advisers to obtain advice in relation to the taxation laws and regulations applicable to their personal circumstances.
