Letter from the Chairman
Dear fellow Shareholder,
On behalf of the Directors of Felix Group Holdings Ltd (Company or Felix), I am pleased to offer you
the opportunity to participate in the partially underwritten share purchase plan (SPP) which was
announced on Monday, 7 August 2023. The SPP allows Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to each
subscribe to apply for up to $30,000 worth of new, fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (subject
to discretionary scale back) (SPP Shares), without incurring brokerage or other transaction costs, on
the terms set out in this SPP Offer Booklet (SPP Offer).
The SPP Offer is underwritten up to the $0.5 million by Taylor Collison Limited (Underwritten
Amount).
The SPP is part of a wider capital raising being undertaken by Felix. The intention to launch the SPP
Offer was announced on Monday, 7 August 2023, after the announcement of Felix's two tranche share
placement to Institutional Investors (Placement).
Directors, Michael Bushby, Joycelyn Morton and Rob Phillpot, will take up their full entitlement under
the SPP
Directors, George Rolleston, Mike Davis and Michael Trusler will also participate in the tranche 2 of
the Placement, which will be subject to shareholder approval.
Use of proceeds
Proceeds raised from the Placement and SPP will be used for investment in sales and marketing to
support the growing Tier 1 Contractor pipeline, balance sheet flexibility and offer costs.
Further details are contained in the ASX Announcements dated Monday, 7 August 2023.
SPP Offer Details
The SPP provides you with the opportunity to increase your holding of fully paid ordinary shares in the
Company at the same issue price paid by Institutional Investors under the Placement, being $0.08 per
SPP Share. The issue price represents a 19.97% discount to the volume weighted average market
price of Shares on the ASX during the five trading days on which sales in shares were recorded
immediately prior to the announcement date of the SPP on Monday, 7 August 2023 ($0.099).
You may apply for a parcel of SPP Shares valued at $1,000, $2,000, $5,000 and thereafter in $5,000
increments, up to a maximum of $30,000 (in aggregate) (subject to discretionary scale back by the
Company). Participation in the SPP is optional and open to Eligible Shareholders, being holders of
fully paid ordinary shares in the Company at 7:00pm (AEST) on Friday, 4 August 2023 (Record Date)
and whose address on the Register is in Australia or New Zealand. The SPP is also being extended to
Eligible Shareholders who are Custodians to participate in the SPP on behalf of certain Eligible
Beneficiaries on the terms and conditions set out in this SPP Offer Booklet. Your right to participate in
the SPP is not transferable. All SPP Shares will rank equally with existing Shares in the Company.
The terms and conditions of the SPP are provided in this SPP Offer Booklet. The SPP is underwritten
to the Underwritten Amount of $0.5 million and aims to raise approximately $1.0 million. If applications
for more than this amount are received, the Company may in its discretion accept oversubscriptions
above this amount, subject to compliance with the ASX Listing Rules and ASIC Corporations (Share
and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547. The Company may also in its discretion undertake
a scale back of applications for SPP Shares. Therefore, you may receive less than the parcel of SPP
Shares for which you have applied. Should this happen, the balance of any Application Money that is
not applied to acquire SPP Shares will be refunded to you, without interest.
I urge you to read these materials in their entirety and seek your own financial, taxation and other
professional advice in relation to the SPP, before you decide whether to participate.

The SPP Offer will open at 9:00am (AEST) on Wednesday, 9 August 2023 and is expected to close at
5.00pm (AEST) on Friday, 25 August 2023.
To apply for SPP Shares, you must make a payment directly via BPAY® (New Zealand Shareholders
who are unable to pay by BPAY® may pay by EFT).
If you have any questions in relation to how to participate in the SPP, please contact the Registry
on1300 918 654 (callers within Australia) and +61 3 9415 4833 (callers outside Australia) or consult
your financial or other professional adviser.

Yours sincerely
Michael Bushby

on the Record Date of Shares and
whose registered address is in Australia
or New Zealand.
The laws of some countries prohibit or
make impracticable participation in the

residents in Australia or New Zealand.
Accordingly,
the
Company
has
determined that it is not practical for
Shareholders who are not residents in
Australia or New Zealand to participate
in the SPP. The SPP does not constitute
an offer of Shares for sale in any
jurisdiction other than Australia or New
Zealand.
This SPP Offer Booklet has been
prepared
to
comply
with
the
requirements of the securities laws of
Australia.
This SPP Offer Booklet, the Investor
Presentation and the Application Form
do not constitute an offer to sell, or the
solicitation of an offer to buy, any
securities in any jurisdiction in which, or
to any person to whom it would not be
lawful to make such an offer. No action
has been taken to register or qualify the
SPP Offer or the SPP Shares, or
otherwise permit the offering of the SPP
Shares, in any jurisdiction other than
Australia. Return of the personalised
Application Form will be taken by the
Company to constitute a representation
by you that there has been no breach of
any such laws. Eligible Shareholders
who are nominees or custodians should
see section 2.4.

regulation (including the Listing Rules),
The Company disclaims any obligation
or undertaking to update forward-looking

Key SPP information
You should read this section in conjunction with the terms and conditions of the SPP set out in
section 2, below.
What is the SPP?
The SPP is an opportunity for Eligible Shareholders to each subscribe for
up to $30,000 worth of SPP Shares without brokerage or other transaction
costs.
Eligible Shareholders may each apply for SPP Shares in parcels valued at
$1,000, $2,000, $5,000 and thereafter in $5,000 increments up to
maximum of $30,000 (in aggregate) (subject to discretionary scale-back).
What are funds in the
SPP to be used for?
Is participation in the
SPP compulsory?
Felix will use the proceeds raised from the Placement and SPP to fund:
•
investment in sales and marketing to support the growing Tier 1
Contractor pipeline; and
•
balance sheet flexibility.
No. Participation in the SPP is entirely voluntary.
Before you decide whether to participate in the SPP, the Company
recommends you seek independent financial advice from your
stockbroker, accountant or other professional adviser.
If you do not wish to participate in the SPP, do nothing.
What is the Issue
Price of the SPP
Shares?
SPP Shares will be offered at $0.08 per SPP Share, being the same price
paid by Institutional Investors under the Placement announced on Monday,
7 August 2023.
For the purposes of paragraph 7(e)(i) of ASIC Corporations (Share and
Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547, the Issue Price was
calculated by reference to the issue price to be paid by Institutional
Investors under the Placement.
For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 5), the Issue Price
($0.08) represents a 19.97% discount to the VWAP of Shares on the ASX
during the five trading days on which sales in Shares were recorded
immediately prior to the announcement date of the SPP Offer.
There is a risk that the market price of Shares may rise or fall between the
date of this SPP Offer Booklet and the time of issue of the SPP Shares
under the SPP Offer. This means that the price you pay for the SPP Shares
issued to you may be less than or more than the market price of Shares at
the date of this SPP Offer Booklet or the time of issue.
Your Application is unconditional and may not be withdrawn even if the
market price of Shares is less than the Issue Price.
