Dear Shareholder

Notice to eligible shareholders - Superloop Limited

Superloop Limited ACN 169 263 094 (ASX: SLC) (Superloop) is conducting a fully underwritten ~$92.2 million equity raising via a:

  • (a) fully underwritten two-tranche placement to institutional investors to raise approximately $57.6 million (Institutional Placement); and
  • (b) fully underwritten 1 for 6 accelerated pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement offer of fully paid ordinary shares in Superloop (New Shares) to raise approximately $34.6 million (Entitlement Offer),

(together, the Equity Raising).

The Institutional Placement is to be conducted in two tranches, the second tranche being subject to Superloop shareholder approval at Superloop's annual general meeting.

Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited ACN 075 071 466 and Morgans Corporate Limited ACN 010 539 607 are acting as joint lead managers and underwriters to the Equity Raising (Underwriters). The Institutional Placement and the institutional component of the Entitlement Offer (Institutional Entitlement Offer) were successfully completed on 25 September 2019, with settlement of the second tranche of the Institutional Placement deferred until shareholder approval is obtained . Further details of the retail component of the Entitlement Offer (Retail Entitlement Offer) are set out in the information booklet lodged with ASX on 26 September 2019.

The proceeds of the Equity Raising will be applied principally to:

  • (a) pay down $80 million of senior secured debt; and
  • (b) fund trade payables and the costs of the Equity Raising.

Terms of the Equity Raising

The offer price for the Equity Raising is $0.82 per new Superloop share (Offer Price). The Entitlement Offer is being made at the same offer price as the Institutional Placement.

Under the Entitlement Offer, eligible shareholders will be able to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 6 existing shares held at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on 26 September 2019 (Record Date) at the Offer Price (Entitlements).

Superloop will offer the New Shares for issue without disclosure to investors under section 708AA(2)(f) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act) as notionally modified by ASIC Corporations (Non-Traditional Rights Issues) Instrument 2016/84. The information booklet and notice given in accordance with section 708AA(2)(f) of the Corporations Act have been lodged with ASX and are available to view on ASX's website (www.asx.com.au).

Shareholder approval is not required for Superloop to make the offer under the Entitlement Offer.

Fractional Entitlements will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares, and holdings on different registers or sub-registers will not be aggregated to calculate Entitlements.

The Retail Entitlement Offer will include a top-up facility under which eligible retail shareholders who take up their full Entitlement will be invited to apply for additional shares in the Retail Entitlement Offer from a pool of those not taken up by other eligible retail shareholders. There is no guarantee that applicants under this top-up facility will receive all or any of the shares they apply for under the top-up facility. Further details on the allocation of shares under the top-up facility are set out in the Retail Entitlement Offer information booklet.

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable. Accordingly, Entitlements do not trade on ASX, nor can they be transferred or otherwise disposed of.

(together, the Equity Raising).

The Institutional Placement is to be conducted in two tranches, the second tranche being subject to Superloop shareholder approval at Superloop's annual general meeting.

Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited ACN 075 071 466 and Morgans Corporate Limited ACN 010 539 607 are acting as joint lead managers and underwriters to the Equity Raising (Underwriters). The Institutional Placement and the institutional component of the Entitlement Offer were successfully completed on 25 September 2019, with settlement of the second tranche of the Institutional Placement deferred until shareholder approval is obtained.

The proceeds of the Equity Raising will be applied principally to:

  • (b) fund trade payables and the costs of the Equity Raising.

Terms of the Equity Raising

The offer price for the Equity Raising is $0.82 per new Superloop share (Offer Price). The Entitlement Offer is being made at the same offer price as the Institutional Placement.

Under the Entitlement Offer, eligible shareholders will be able to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 6 existing shares held at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on 26 September 2019 (Record Date) at the Offer Price (Entitlements).

Superloop will offer the New Shares for issue without disclosure to investors under section 708AA(2)(f) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act) as notionally modified by ASIC Corporations (Non-Traditional Rights Issues) Instrument 2016/84. On 26 September 2019, Superloop lodged an information booklet for the Retail Entitlement Offer with ASX, a copy of which will be sent to each eligible shareholder (along with a personalised entitlement and acceptance

form) today. Shareholder approval is not required for Superloop to make the offer under the Entitlement Offer.

The Retail Entitlement Offer will include a top-up facility under which eligible retail shareholders who take up their full Entitlement will be invited to apply for additional shares in the Retail Entitlement Offer from a pool of those not taken up by other eligible retail shareholders.

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable. Accordingly, Entitlements do not trade on ASX, nor can they be transferred or otherwise disposed of.

Eligibility of shareholders to participate in the Entitlement Offer

The Entitlement Offer is only available to eligible shareholders. Superloop has determined under ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1(a) and section 9A(3) of the Corporations Act that it would be unreasonable to make offers to shareholders in all countries in connection with the Entitlement Offer. Accordingly, this letter is to inform you that Superloop has determined that you are not an eligible shareholder and you are therefore ineligible to apply for the New Shares. You are not required to do anything in response to this letter**.**

A person is eligible to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer as an eligible shareholder where the person is a registered holder of ordinary shares in the capital of Superloop as at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on the Record Date who:

  • (a) has a registered address in Australia or New Zealand or is a shareholder that Superloop has otherwise determined is eligible to participate;
  • (b) subject to a determination by Superloop as outlined in paragraph (a), is not in the United States and is not a nominee or custodian acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States; and
  • (c) is eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Entitlement Offer.

As you do not satisfy the criteria for eligibility, Superloop is unfortunately unable to extend the Retail Entitlement Offer to you.

New Shares equivalent to the number of New Shares you would have been entitled to if you were an eligible retail shareholder will be allocated to eligible retail shareholders who subscribe for New Shares in excess of their entitlement under the Retail Entitlement Offer or in accordance with the underwriting agreement between Superloop and the Underwriters.

As the Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable, you will not receive any payment or value for these entitlements in respect of any New Shares that would have been offered to you if you were eligible.

Further information

If you have any queries, please contact Superloop's share registry, Link Market Services Limited, on 1300 420 208 (within Australia) or +61 1300 420 208 (outside Australia) between 8.30am and 5.30pm (Sydney time) Monday to Friday during the offer period or, alternatively, consult your stockbroker, solicitor, accountant or other professional financial adviser.
