  • are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Retail Entitlement Offer without any requirement for a prospectus or offer document to be lodged or registered (other than such a requirement which Regis is willing to comply with, taking into account the number of shareholders in the relevant jurisdiction, the number and value of New Shares that would be offered and the costs of compliance with the legal and any regulatory requirements).

Shareholders who are not Eligible Retail Shareholders are ineligible retail shareholders and are consequently unable to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer.

Actions required by Eligible Retail Shareholders

The options available to Eligible Retail Shareholders are described in the Retail Offer Booklet. In summary, Eligible Retail Shareholders may:

  • take up all of part of your Retail Entitlement

  • take up all of your Retail Entitlement and also apply for Additional New Shares in excess of your Retail Entitlement up to 50% of your Retail Entitlement (Note: This option is not available to Related Parties of Regis)

  • do nothing and let all or part of your Retail Entitlements lapse

If you wish to take up all of part of your Retail Entitlement (and apply for Additional New Shares, if applicable), you will need to follow the “How to apply” section in the Retail Offer Booklet.

Eligible Retail Shareholders who do not take up their Entitlements in full will not receive any value for those Entitlements they do not take up and those Entitlements will lapse. Your proportionate interest in Regis will also be diluted, in additional to the dilution caused by the Placement.
