20 June 2014
Dear Shareholder,
RIEDEL RESOURCES LIMITED - PARTIALLY UNDERWRITTEN SHARE PURCHASE PLAN
On 17 June 2014, Riedel Resources Ltd (“ Riedel ” or the “ Company ”) announced a Share Purchase Plan (“ SPP ”) for eligible shareholders in Australia and New Zealand, to raise up to a maximum of approximately $279,640 under the SPP (before costs).
Under the SPP, each eligible shareholder will be entitled to apply for up to A$15,000 of fully paid ordinary Riedel shares at A$0.0085 per share, representing a discount of 17.7% to the volume weighted average price of Riedel shares of the last 5 days on which sales in the securities were recorded.
Proceeds from the SPP will be used for exploration and development studies over the Company’s gold deposits and for working capital.
Directors of Riedel who are eligible to participate intend to apply for shares under the SPP.
Oracle Securities Pty Ltd has agreed to underwrite the SPP up to A$139,820.
Participation in the SPP is entirely at your discretion. Enclosed is a Share Purchase Plan Application Form together with the Terms and Conditions of the SPP. Please read these documents carefully and seek your own financial or taxation advice if needed.
A summary of the key details is as follows:-
1. Offer to Eligible Shareholders Only
You are eligible to participate in the SPP if you were a registered holder of Riedel ordinary shares as at 5.00
-
p.m. (AWST) on 16 June 2014 with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand, unless:• You hold your shares on behalf of another person who resides outside Australia or New Zealand; or
-
You are located in the United States, or you are acting for the account or benefit of a person located in the United States.
2. Offer is Optional, but not transferrable
The offer under the SPP is non-renounceable, which means that you may not transfer a right to apply for securities to anyone else.
916CR_0_Sample_CA/000001/000001
3. Maximum amount and increments
You may only apply for a maximum amount of A$15,000 worth of new shares. If you make applications for each of your registered holdings of Riedel shares, the total of all applications must not exceed A$15,000. Riedel reserves the right to decline applications from multiple registered holdings if the total exceeds A$15,000, including where those registered holdings are in similar but not identical names, are directly or indirectly held, or are held alone or with others.
Eligible Shareholders who wish to participate in the SPP may apply for a parcel of new shares in increments of A$15,000, A$12,500, A$10,000, A$7,500, A$5,000 or A$2,000.
The offer is made irrespective of the number of shares Eligible Shareholders currently hold.
4.
Cap of SPP
The total number of shares to be issued under the SPP will be capped at 30% of the number of ordinary Riedel shares on issue before the SPP. Riedel therefore intends to raise up to a maximum of approximately A$279,640 under the SPP and reserves the right to scale back applications should total demand exceed A$279,640, in its absolute and sole discretion. Riedel may take into account, among other factors, the size of an applicant’s shareholding in determining the amount (if any) by which to scale back that applicant’s application. Should this occur, you may be allocated new shares to a value which is less than the parcel for which you applied and the difference will be refunded to you and will be paid by cheque or direct credit (the payment method will be determined by Riedel in its absolute discretion) without interest.
5.
Issue Price
Under the SPP, Eligible Shareholders have an opportunity to subscribe for up to A$15,000 worth of New Shares at an issue price of A$0.0085 per share, representing a discount of 17.7% to the volume weighted average price of Riedel shares of the last 5 days on which sales in the securities were recorded.
6. SPP partially underwritten
If there is a shortfall in subscriptions from Eligible Shareholders, Oracle Securities Pty Ltd has agreed to partially underwrite the SPP up to A$139,820.
7.
Key Dates
The offer opens on 23 June 2014 and closes on 7 July 2014. Application forms and payment must be received by Riedel by no later than 5 p.m. AWST on 7 July 2014.
8. Additional Information
The SPP does not take into account your individual investment objectives, financial situation, tax position or particular needs. You should consider seeking independent financial and taxation advice before making a decision as to whether or not to accept the offer. By electing to subscribe for new shares, you agree to be bound by the Terms and Conditions of the SPP and the constitution of Riedel.
If you have any queries regarding the SPP, please contact Riedel on 08 9226 0866.
Thank you for your continuing support.
Yours sincerely,

The number of New Shares you receive will depend on the value of the parcel of New Shares you apply for and on the total number of New Shares applied for by all Eligible Shareholders. The Company reserves the right to scale back applications where the total number of New Shares applied for by all Eligible Shareholders exceeds A$279,640 (see section 8 below).
This document is not a prospectus or other disclosure document under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). The Offer does not take into account the individual investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs of each Eligible Shareholder.

4. Participation in the SPP
4.1 Single Holders

4.2 Joint Holders
If you are recorded with one or more other persons as the joint holder of a holding of Riedel shares, that joint holding is considered to be a single registered holding for the purpose of the SPP, and the joint holders are eligible to participate in the SPP in respect of that single holding only.
If the same joint holders receive more than one offer under the SPP due to multiple registered holdings, the joint holders may only apply for a maximum parcel of New Shares with an aggregate value of no more than A$15,000.
4.3 Custodians and Downstream Custodians
If you are a custodian within the definition of ‘custodian’ in ASIC Class Order [CO 09/425] ( Custodian ) and hold Riedel shares on behalf of one or more persons (each a Participating Beneficiary ), or on behalf of a ‘downstream custodian’ within the definition of ASIC Class Order [CO 09/425] who holds the beneficial interest in Riedel shares on behalf of a Participating Beneficiary, you may apply for up to a maximum of A$15,000 worth of New Shares for each Participating Beneficiary, subject to providing a notice in writing to Riedel certifying the matters set out in paragraph 9 of ASIC Class Order [CO 09/425] ( Custodian Certificate ).
The maximum parcel of A$15,000 worth of New Shares that may be applied for by a Custodian on behalf of each Participating Beneficiary includes both:
-
Shares issued to the Participating Beneficiary in its own right as a registered holder (including as a single or joint holder); and
-
Shares issued to the Custodian on behalf of the Participating Beneficiary.
If a Custodian applies for New Shares on behalf of a Participating beneficiary, Riedel will not issue New Shares unless the Custodian Certificate is received before the Issue Date.
Custodians should request a pro forma Custodian Certificate when making an application on behalf of Participating Beneficiaries. To request a Custodian Certificate, and if you would like further information on how to apply, please contact Riedel’s share register, Computershare by emailing [email protected].
4.4 Trustee or nominee
If you hold Riedel shares as a trustee or nominee for another person, but are not a Custodian, you cannot participate for beneficiaries in the manner described in section 4.3 unless the Company otherwise agrees. In this case, the rules for multiple single holdings set out in section 4.1 and 4.2 apply.
4.5 Underwritten
The SPP is underwritten by Oracle Securities Pty Ltd ( Underwriter ) up to $139,820. If Riedel has not received applications for the total shares on offer under the SPP, Riedel may serve notice on the Underwriter that it will place to nominees of the Underwriter (sub-underwriters) any shares that have not been applied for by Eligible Shareholders in accordance with the maximum threshold allowed under the ASX Listing Rules. The terms of the Underwriting Agreement govern the underwriting of the Plan.
5. Participation
- 5.1 Participation in the SPP is entirely optional (subject to the eligibility criteria set out in sections 3 and 4 above). The offer to acquire New Shares is not a recommendation. In deciding whether to participate in the SPP, please take time to read these Terms and Conditions. We encourage you to contact your financial and taxation adviser and seek your own independent professional advice regarding your participation in the SPP.
6. Issue Price
-
6.1 Under the SPP, Eligible Shareholders have an opportunity to subscribe for up to A$15,000 worth of New Shares at an issue price of $0.0085 per share ( Issue Price ).
-
6.2 The Issue Price represents approximately a 17.7% discount to the average closing price of Riedel shares traded on the ASX in the last 5 days prior to the date the SPP was announced, on which sales in the securities were recorded.
7.
Investment
-
7.1 Under the SPP, you may apply for a parcel of New Shares in increments of A$15,000, A$12,500, A$10,000, A$7,500, A$5,000 or A$2,000. However, if you receive more than one offer to participate in the SPP, or if you hold Shares in more than one capacity, the maximum you can invest is as set out in section 4 above.
-
7.2 The Offer needs to comply with the conditions of ASIC Class Order [CO 09/425]. Under that class order, eligible shareholders may only acquire up to a maximum of A$15,000 worth of Riedel shares under a share purchase plan or similar plan in any 12 month period (except in certain circumstances described in section 4 above) whether those shares are issued to the eligible shareholder in its own right as a registered holder, or to a custodian. The A$15,000 limit applies irrespective of the number of Riedel shares you hold on the Record Date.
-
7.3 As stated above, this limitation applies even if you receive more than one Application Form or if you hold Riedel shares in more than one capacity, for example, if you are both a sole and joint holder of Riedel shares. Please refer to the information in section 4 above.
-
7.4 Riedel reserves the right, and in certain circumstances may be required by ASIC Class Order [CO 09/425], to reject any application for New Shares under the SPP to the extent it considers, or is reasonably satisfied, that the application (whether alone or in conjunction with other applications) does not comply with these requirements.
8. Scale Back
-
8.1 Riedel reserves an absolute discretion regarding the amount raised under the SPP, including the right to scale back applications in its absolute and sole discretion should total demand exceed A$279,640. Any determination made by Riedel in respect of any scale-back will be final. Riedel may take into account, among other factors, the size of an applicant’s shareholding in determining the amount (if any) by which to scale back that applicant’s application. Should this occur, you may be allocated New Shares to a value which is less than the parcel for which you applied.
-
8.2 If the scale back produces a fractional number when applied to the parcel of New Shares you applied for, the number of New Shares you will be allotted will be rounded up to the nearest whole number and any difference will be refunded to you without interest.
-
8.3 Any application monies refunded by Riedel under a scale back will be paid by cheque or direct credit (the payment method will be determined by Riedel in its absolute discretion) in Australian currency, on the date that holding statements are despatched under the SPP, expected to be 15 July 2014. By applying for New Shares, each shareholder authorises Riedel to pay any monies to be refunded by using the payment instructions of the shareholder recorded in the records of Riedel’s share registry, if Riedel elects to pay in this manner.
9. No Transfer of New Shares
- 9.1 The Offer is non-renounceable. This means that you cannot transfer your right to acquire New Shares under the SPP to anyone else.
10. New Shares to rank equally with existing shares
-
10.1 All New Shares issued under the SPP will rank equally with existing Riedel ordinary shares quoted on the ASX and will carry the same voting rights, distribution rights and other entitlements as existing Riedel ordinary shares from the issue date.
-
10.2 Riedel will apply for New Shares issued under the SPP to be quoted on the ASX.
11.
Brokerage
- 11.1 No brokerage is payable by you to Riedel in respect of the acquisition of New Shares under the SPP.
12. Risks
-
12.1 You should note that the market price of Riedel shares may rise or fall between the Record Date, the date of this Offer, the date on which you make a payment or send in an Application Form and the date that the New Shares are issued to you under the SPP. This means that the price you pay for each New Share under this Offer (being A$0.0085 per share), may be higher or lower than the market price of Riedel ordinary shares at the date on which you make your application and on the date of issue of the New Shares.
-
12.2 Riedel recommends that you monitor the Riedel share price and any Riedel announcements, which can be found on Riedel’s website at www.riedelresources.com.au or on the ASX website at www.asx.com.au (ASX code: RIE). Riedel’s share price can also be found in the financial pages of major Australian metropolitan newspapers.
-
12.3 Riedel notes that as announced on 13 June 2014, it has agreed with its noteholders to extend the redemption date of the convertible notes issued under two Convertible Note Deeds which were entered into by Riedel on 16 May 2013. As part of that agreement key terms of the Convertible Note Deeds are to be amended and a shareholders’ meeting is to be held within 60 days of 13 June 2014 to approve the issue of Options and the conversion of the Convertible Notes. In the event that Shareholders do not approve the issue and conversion, then the noteholders would be entitled to exercise their rights to demand repayment of the outstanding moneys and/or enforce their security interests. The exercise of such rights could have a material adverse effect on Riedel’s activities and financial condition.
-
12.4 On 5 June 2014 Riedel announced that it has received an initial notification from the Department of Mines & Petroleum (DMP) notifying the Company of the intention to refuse the application for extension of term for the Millrose Gold Project tenements E53/1304 and E53/1305. Based on discussions with the Company’s tenement consultants, the Board holds the view that it is likely that the extension will be granted upon the Company making further submissions to the DMP. Although the Company believes that it is likely that further consideration by DMP will ultimately result in the extension of term being granted, there is no guarantee that the DMP will do so. Such refusal to extend the term could have a material adverse effect on Riedel’s activities and financial condition.
-
12.5 Riedel encourages you to contact your professional advisor regarding whether or not to participate in the SPP and how much to contribute.
13. Number of Shares
- 13.1 You may apply for one of the following parcels of New Shares:-
| Option | Total Amount to be Paid (A$) |
Issue Price per Share (A$) |
No. of Shares |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 15,000 | 0.0085 | 1,764,705 |
