Letter to Shareholders

17 January 2022

Dear Shareholder,

Leigh Creek Energy Limited Share Purchase Plan Offer

On behalf of the Directors of Leigh Creek Energy Limited (LCK or the Company), I am pleased to offer you the opportunity to participate in the Company's Share Purchase Plan (SPP). Under the SPP you can acquire up to A$30,000 worth of new fully paid ordinary shares in Company (New Shares) without paying any brokerage or other charges.

Under the SPP, eligible shareholders may elect to apply to purchase a parcel of shares with a dollar amount totalling $2,000, $5,000, $10,000, $15,000, $20,000, $25,000 or $30,000.

Shareholders participating in the SPP will be able to purchase Shares at an issue price of A$0.15 per Share which represents a:

  • 6.25% discount to the closing price on ASX of the Shares on 10 January 2022, being the last day before the SPP was announced; and
  • 13.44% discount to the volume-weighted average price of Shares calculated over the last five trading days preceding the date the SPP was first announced, being 11 January 2022.

The Company is targeting to raise up to approximately $5,000,000 under the SPP. However, LCK may decide to accept applications (in whole or in part) that result in the SPP raising more or less than that target amount at its absolute discretion and within the limits prescribed by the ASX Listing Rules.

Funds raised under the SPP will be used to progress the development of the Company's flagship Leigh Creek Urea Project (LCUP) through the next phases of the commercial pathway. Funds will also be used to undertake business development activities, along with general corporate activities and for general working capital.

Participation in the SPP is optional and is open to shareholders who were registered as holders of Shares at 5pm (CDT) on 10 January 2022 (Record Date) and whose registered address is in Australia or New Zealand.

The offer to participate in the SPP will open on 17 January 2022 and will remain open until 5pm (CDT) on 7 February 2022. The Company reserves the right to extend the closing date for applications without notice.

Full details of the SPP and how to participate are contained in the Terms and Conditions accompanying this document which I encourage you to read and consider carefully.

Thank you for your continued support of the Company.

Yours sincerely,

Justyn Peters

Chairman
