The SPP provides the opportunity for eligible shareholders (being approximately 1,670 shareholders)to subscribe for up to $15,000 worth of New Shares without incurring brokerage or other transaction costs.

The issue price will be determined at the issue date of New Shares under the SPP based on a 20% discount to the volume weighted average price of Sayona shares traded on the ASX during the 5 days immediately prior to the issue date of the New Shares.

The Directors have determined that offers under the SPP will be made to eligible shareholders, being those who are the registered holders of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company as at 5.00pm EST on 12 April 2017 (Record Date), and whose address in the Company's register is in Australia or New Zealand.
