Dear Shareholder,
SALE OF SMALL HOLDINGS
We acknowledge and thank you for participation in the Company.
As you may be aware, Valence Industries Limited (“the Company”) has announced that it proposes to implement a procedure to sell, on-market, holdings of 1,754 or less fully paid ordinary shares (‘small holdings’) on behalf of shareholders who do not wish to retain their shares in the Company.
The Company has a large percentage of shareholders holding less than marketable parcels. By divesting small holdings, the Company reduces its administration and share registry costs.
The Company has announced a record date of 7.00pm AEDT on 20 February 2014 (“Record Date”) to determine those shareholders who hold a ‘small holding’. As a shareholder within this category as at the Record Date, you are eligible to have your shares sold by the Company under this procedure. The advantage in authorising the Company to sell your shares in this way is that the Company will bear all transaction costs, including brokerage, associated with the sale of your shares. The proceeds of any sale of your ‘small holding’ will be paid to you within 10 business days of the settlement of these sales.
You have six (6) weeks from the date of this notice to elect whether to allow the Company to sell your shares. Please be aware that you are not obliged to sell your shares under this procedure; the choice is entirely up to you. However, if you DO NOT wish to sell you MUST notify the Company immediately and, in any event, by no later than 17 April 2014.
If you DO NOT wish your shares to be sold, please complete and return the enclosed Retention Slip (“Slip”) to the address noted on this Slip, so that it is received by the registry by no later than 17 April 2014. If you DO NOT return the completed Slip by this date your shares will be sold on your behalf.
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT DOCUMENT. IF YOU ARE IN ANY DOUBT AS TO HOW TO DEAL WITH IT THEN YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR LEGAL, FINANCIAL OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL ADVISER.
Yours faithfully
Valence Industries Limited
