Dear Shareholder
SALE NOTICE : UNMARKETABLE PARCELS OF SHARES PURSUANT TO SCHEDULE 2 OF THE COMPANY'S CONSTITUTION
Holder's of unmarketable parcels of shares may have difficulty selling those shares and may face proportionally high costs in doing so. The Company also faces share registry, printing and compliance costs in respect of several hundred holdings of unmarketable parcels. The Stock Exchange allows a procedure for the grouping together and sale of these holdings in a way that is designed to produce a higher net return (after costs) to those shareholders than they would otherwise receive.
Our records show that you are the holder of shares (shown on the attached Retention of Shares Notice) in Precious Metals Australia Limited (the Company) the number of which at the date of this notice, constitutes an unmarketable parcel of shares, as defined by the Australian Stock Exchange Listing Rules. These rules define an unmarketable parcel as that number which in aggregate has a value of less than \$500. The trading price of the Company shares on $11th$ May 2005 was 18 cents, therefore an unmarketable parcel at this date was 2.777 shares or less.
The ASX Listing Rules and Schedule 2 of the Company's Constitution empower the Company to sell on behalf of the holder, unmarketable parcels of shares allowing the Company to reduce administrative costs and share registry costs associated with the Company's obligations under the Corporations Act to keep members informed. The Company shall bear the cost of the sale of unmarketable parcels.
Under the Company's Constitution the procedure to sell an unmarketable parcel requires a sale notice notifying of the intention to sell unmarketable parcels. Holders of unmarketable parcels who do not notify the Company in writing of their intention to retain their holding within 6 weeks of the sale notice will have their shares sold following the expiration of the 6 week period.
This notice constitutes the sale notice under Schedule 2 of the Company's Constitution. The Company intends to sell your shareholding upon the expiration of 6 weeks from this notice. If you do not wish for your shares to be sold you must complete and return the enclosed notice of retention to our share registry, Advanced Share Registry Services by 24th June 2005.
If you wish your shareholding to be sold there is no need to do anything. As soon as is practicable after $24th$ June 2005, the Company will forward the proceeds of the sale of your unmarketable parcels to you.
If you have any questions concerning the contents of this letter, please contact the Company Secretary by telephone on +61-8-9321 3514.
Yours faithfully
Ian Macpherson Company Secretary
