Dear Shareholder
INFORMATION FOR SHAREHOLDERS – PRO-RATA RENOUNCEABLE ENTITLEMENT OFFER
Incremental Oil and Gas Limited (ASX:IOG) ( IOG ) today announced a pro-rata renounceable entitlement offer ( Entitlement Offer ) of new IOG ordinary shares ( New Shares ) on the basis of 5 New Shares for every 7 shares held as at 7.00pm (AEDT) on 17 October 2017 ( Record Date ) to raise up to approximately A$2.17 million (before costs). New Shares will be issued at $0.015 per New Share and applicants may apply for New Shares in excess of their entitlement.
Only IOG shareholders with registered addresses in Australia and New Zealand on the Record Date are eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer if they meet the eligibility criteria set out in the Prospectus ( Eligible Shareholders ). As the Entitlement Offer is renounceable, investors who purchase an entitlement from an Eligible Shareholder (during the entitlement trading period) may also exercise entitlements provided that they have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand and otherwise meet the eligibility criteria set out in the Prospectus ( Eligible Entitlement Holders ).
Eligible Shareholders and Eligible Entitlement Holders are collectively referred to as “ Eligible Offerees ”.
Any investor who is in the United States, is a US Person or is acting for the account or benefit of such persons or who is ineligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Entitlement Offer will not be entitled to participate.
Eligible Offerees (other than directors and related parties of IOG) may, in addition to taking up their entitlement, apply for additional New Shares in excess of their entitlement under the ‘Top-Up Facility’ offered under the Entitlement Offer.
The Entitlement Offer is being made under a prospectus for an offer to acquire continuously quoted securities that has been prepared in accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Prospectus ). If you are an Eligible Shareholder, you will receive a copy of the Prospectus and a personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form.
The Prospectus is expected to be despatched on 18 October 2017 to Eligible Shareholders. A copy of the Prospectus has been lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, and released to the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ) on 12 October 2017. A copy of the Prospectus is available on the ASX website (www.asx.com.au) and IOG's website (www.incrementaloilandgas.com).

Dear Shareholder
PRO-RATA RENOUNCEABLE ENTITLEMENT OFFER – NOTIFICATION TO INELIGIBLE OVERSEAS SHAREHOLDERS
As you may be aware, Incremental Oil and Gas Limited (ASX:IOG) ( IOG ) is currently undertaking a pro-rata renounceable entitlement offer ( Entitlement Offer ) under a transaction specific prospectus for an offer to acquire continuously quoted securities that has been prepared in accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Prospectus ).
The Entitlement Offer is being undertaken on the basis of 5 new ordinary shares in the capital of IOG ( New Shares ) for every 7 shares held, at an issue price of $0.015 per New Share, to raise up to approximately $2.17 million before costs. New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer will rank equally with other IOG shares on issue and applicants may apply for additional shares in excess of their entitlement.
IOG expects that the Entitlement Offer will close on 3 November 2017. Details of the Entitlement Offer were released to the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ) on 12 October 2017.
Proceeds of the Entitlement Offer (net of costs) will be used to:
-
acquire a circa 94% working interest (which will equal a circa 82% net revenue interest) in the Borie Oil Field in the Denver Basin ( Borie Project ); and
-
fund working capital towards further development of IOG’s projects.
The Entitlement Offer is being extended only to investors who meet all of the following criteria ( Eligible Shareholders ):
-
they are registered as a holder of shares at 7.00pm (AEDT) on the record date of 17 October 2017;
-
they have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand;
-
they are not in the United States or a US Person or acting for the account or benefit of such persons; and
-
they are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Entitlement Offer.
As the entitlements are renounceable, they can be traded. Any investor who purchases the entitlement of an Eligible Shareholder (during the entitlement trading period) who has a registered address in Australia and New Zealand, who is not in the United States or a US
Person or acting for the account or benefit of such persons and who is eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Entitlement Offer, will also be entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer.
Unfortunately, as you do not satisfy the eligibility criteria to be classified as an Eligible Shareholder (because you have a registered address outside of Australia and New Zealand), IOG is unable to extend to you the opportunity to participate in the Entitlement Offer.
Under the terms of the Entitlement Offer, you are not eligible to subscribe for New Shares and you will not be sent a copy of the Entitlement Offer documents. You would also (for the reasons outlined above) not be eligible to participate in purchasing entitlements during the entitlement trading period.
This letter is to inform you about the Entitlement Offer, the details of which are provided above, and is not an offer to issue New Shares to you, nor an invitation for you to apply for New Shares. You are not required to do anything in response to this letter. However, see further information below regarding the sale of entitlements that would otherwise have been offered to you.
The restrictions upon eligibility are because of legal limitations in some countries, the relatively small number of shareholders in those countries, the relatively small number of Shares those shareholders hold and the potential cost of complying with regulatory requirements in those countries. IOG has determined, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.7.1(a) of the ASX Listing Rules, that it would be unreasonable to make offers to shareholders with registered addresses in countries other than Australia and New Zealand. Accordingly, in compliance with ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1(b), this letter advises you that IOG will not be extending the Entitlement Offer to you.
As the Entitlement Offer is renounceable, in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.7 the Company has appointed CPS Capital Group Pty Ltd ( CPS Capital ) as nominee to sell the entitlements to New Shares that would otherwise have been available for subscription by ineligible shareholders ( Entitlements ). CPS Capital will have the absolute and sole discretion to determine the timing and price at which the Entitlements will be sold and the manner of any such sale.
The proceeds of the sale of Entitlements will firstly be applied against expenses of such sale, including brokerage.
The balance of the proceeds will then be forwarded (as soon as practicable) to the ineligible shareholders, in proportion to their share of such Entitlements. If the net proceeds of sale are less than the reasonable costs that would be incurred by the Company in distributing those proceeds, such proceeds may be retained by the Company.
You may receive no net proceeds if the costs of sale are greater than the sale proceeds. In this regard, CPS Capital will not be required to sell Entitlements at a particular price.
Neither the Company nor CPS Capital will be subject to any liability for failure to sell the Entitlements or to sell them at a particular price. If, in the reasonable opinion of CPS Capital, there is no viable market for Entitlements, or a surplus over the likely expenses of sale cannot be obtained, then those Entitlements will be allowed to lapse.
If you have any questions in relation to any of the above matters or this letter, please seek professional advice or contact me.
Signed for and on behalf of IOG
Simon Adams Company Secretary
