Dear Sir/Madam
PALADIN RETAIL ENTITLEMENT OFFER - CLOSING DATE FOR PAYMENT BY CHEQUE
Paladin Energy Ltd ("Paladin" or the "Company") refers to the Retail Offer Booklet released on 1 December
2014 which stated that for payments by cheque, the Retail Entitlement Offer closes at 5:00pm (AEDT) on 5
December 2014 and for payments by BPAY®, the Retail Entitlement Offer closes at 5:00pm (AEDT) on 10
December 2014.
Paladin's intention in specifying the earlier closing date for payments by cheque was to ensure that it was clear to shareholders who intended to pay by cheque the date by which their application and cheque would need to be received in order that cleared funds are received by 10 December 2014. Paladin undertook a number of measures designed to ensure that shareholders in Australia and New Zealand received their retail offer booklet in the post as soon as possible after 1 December 2014 and Paladin also facilitated electronic access to Entitlement & Acceptance Forms from 1 December 2014.
However, following feedback, Paladin confirms that for payments by cheque and for payments by BPAY® the Retail Entitlement Offer will now close at 5:00pm (AEDT) on 10 December 2014 and Paladin will accept applications for which payment is made by cheque and by BPAY® up to this time.
Paladin encourages shareholders to pay by BPAY® where possible as this minimizes processing times. Notwithstanding Paladin will now accept applications accompanied by payments by cheque until 5:00pm (AEDT) on 10 December 2014, Paladin also encourages shareholders who intend to pay by cheque to do so as soon as possible, and preferably by 5:00pm (AEDT) on 5 December 2014, so that Paladin is able to confirm receipt of cleared funds by 10 December 2014. This will allow Paladin additional time to manage the allocation and allotment of shares.
Delivery details for completed Entitlement & Acceptance Forms together Application Monies by way of cheque, bank draft or money order are at section 2.8 of the Retail Offer Booklet. This can be accessed via the portal on the home page of the Paladin website at www.paladinenergy.com.au.
All other elements of the timetable for the Retail Entitlement Offer remain unchanged.
