Dear Shareholder,
INFORMATION NOTICE - REMINDER OF SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS
Introduction
We are writing to remind you of your right to subscribe for one new Ordinary Share of Golden Prospect Precious Metals Limited in respect of every five Ordinary Shares held by you at 6pm on 2 December 2024.
Each registered Shareholder of an Ordinary Share has the right to subscribe in cash for new Ordinary Share on the basis of one new Ordinary share for every five existing Ordinary shares registered in the name of such Shareholder on such date at a price equal to the audited undiluted net asset value of an Ordinary Share on the preceding 30 November (or if such date is not a business day, the next following business day) - 35.94 pence as at 1 December 2023 (being the first business day in December). Your attention is drawn to the table on page 2 detailing the mid-market quotations for the Ordinary shares.
As at 30 October 2024, the share price is 46.00 pence, which is 10.06 pence or 28 per cent above the exercise price of 35.94 pence.
Shareholders are not obliged to exercise their Subscription Rights and if they do not exercise their rights a Subscription Trustee appointed by the Company, may, subject to its evaluation of market demand, attempt to place or sell unexercised Subscription Rights and return any proceeds, net of costs, within 14 days to Shareholders who have not exercised their rights. There can be no guarantee that such a sale of Subscription Rights will be possible or at what price. Shareholders are therefore advised to consider carefully their options concerning whether to exercise their Subscription Rights or not and to seek financial advice if unsure of their position.
The Company's website www.ncim.co.uk shows the Company's closing share price the day before in the Share Price Information Section. This should be compared to the Subscription Right exercise price of 35.94 pence enabling you to monitor the difference between the up to date market price and the exercise price, as prices can change between the date of this letter and the date of exercise.
THIS LETTER IS ISSUED BY WAY OF A REMINDER ONLY IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH THE CONDITIONS OF THE SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS SET OUT IN THE COMPANY'S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD NOT REGARD THIS LETTER AS A RECOMMENDATION TO EXERCISE THEIR SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS.
Shareholders should note that the Board does not expect to have to scale back applications to subscribe for new Ordinary Shares as that the total value of new Ordinary Shares to be issued is not expected to exceed Euro 8 million. As at 30 October 2024 (the Latest Practicable Date), if the subscription rights were exercised in full, that would result in 17.1 million new Ordinary Shares being issued raising £6.1 million (equivalent to Euro 7.3 million).

How To Exercise Your Right To Subscribe
The procedure for exercising your Subscription Rights varies according to whether you hold your Ordinary Shares in certificated or uncertificated form (that is, in CREST).
If you hold your shares in uncertificated form, that is, through CREST, you should send a USE (Unmatched Stock Event) instruction as set out below together with a remittance for the aggregate Subscription Price in respect of which the Subscription Rights are being exercised. When sending a USE instruction, Shareholders should use the following participant and member account IDs when processing their instructions:
· CREST Participant ID =8RA06
· CREST Member Account ID =GPPMSURI
The corporate action ISIN in respect of the Subscription Rights is GG00BNGBBL54. If you hold your Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form, you will be allocated a Subscription Right entitlement in CREST by reference to your shareholding as at close of business on 11 November 2024.
If you buy Ordinary Shares after this date, please contact Computershare Investor Services PLC on 0370 707 4040 (or +44 370 707 4040, if calling from outside the United Kingdom).
Once received, the USE instruction shall be irrevocable save with the consent of the Directors. Shareholders should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures, in CREST, for any particular corporate action. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in connection with the instruction and its settlement.
The Company may in its sole discretion:
· treat as valid (and binding on the CREST member concerned) a USE instruction which does not comply in all respects with the requirements as to validity set out or referred to in this information notice;
· accept an alternative properly authenticated dematerialised instruction from a CREST member or (where applicable) a CREST sponsor as constituting a valid subscription request in substitution for or in addition to a USE instruction and subject to such further terms and conditions as the Company may determine; and
· accept an alternative instruction or notification from a CREST member or CREST sponsored member or (where applicable) a CREST sponsor, or extend the time for settlement of a USE instruction or any alternative instruction or notification, in the event that, for reasons or due to circumstances outside the control of any CREST member or CREST sponsored member or (where applicable) CREST sponsor, the CREST member or CREST sponsored member is unable validly to exercise his Subscription Right by means of the above procedures. In normal circumstances, this discretion is only likely to be exercised in the event of any interruption, failure or breakdown of CREST (or of any part of CREST) or on the part of the facilities and/or systems operated by the Registrar in connection with CREST.
The USE instruction should be inputted to settle by 1.00 pm on 28 November 2024. If you have any enquiries regarding the procedures described above, these should be referred, in the case of CREST sponsored members, to their CREST sponsor and, in the case of other members including CREST sponsors, to the Registrar, Computershare Investor Services PLC on 0370 707 4040 (or +44 370 707 4040, if calling from outside the United Kingdom).
New Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of Subscription Rights which are conferred by Ordinary Shares held in uncertificated form will be issued not later than 14 days after and with effect from the Subscription Date. The Company shall take reasonable steps to procure that the appropriate instructions are given to enable such Ordinary Shares to be credited in uncertificated form to the relevant account within the relevant electronic system of the person(s) in whose name(s) the Ordinary Shares in respect of which Subscription Rights have been exercised were registered as at the Subscription Date.
If you hold your shares in certificated form, in order to exercise, in whole or in part, the Subscription Rights, you must lodge the following documents at the office of the Registrar, Computershare Investor Services PLC, Corporate Actions, The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS99 6AH by 1.00pm on 28 November 2024:
· a completed Application Form; and
· payment, by way of cheque or banker's draft payable to "CIS PLC re: Golden Prospect Precious Metals Ltd Subscription a/c for the aggregate Subscription Price for the Ordinary Shares in respect of which the Subscription Rights are being exercised
For Shareholders holding their Ordinary Shares in certificated form, a personalised Application Form accompanies this document. Once lodged, an Application Form shall be irrevocable save with the consent of the Directors.
New Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of Subscription Rights which are conferred by any Ordinary Shares that are on the Subscription Date held in certificated form will be issued not later than 14 days after and with effect from the Subscription Date and certificates in respect of such Ordinary Shares will be despatched (at the risk of the person(s) entitled thereto) not later than 28 days after the Subscription Date to the person(s) in whose name(s) the Ordinary Share is registered at the Subscription Date (and, if more than one, to the first-named, which shall be sufficient despatch for all).
If a Shareholder does not complete one of the following actions the unexercised Subscription Rights will lapse with no value and no compensation will be payable to Shareholders.
i. submit a valid CREST instruction (if the Ordinary Shares are held in uncertificated form) and the appropriate payment by 1.00 pm on 28 November 2024; or
ii. return a valid completed Application Form (if the Ordinary Shares are held in certificated form) and the appropriate payment to the Registrar by 1.00 pm on 28 November 2024, if the Subscription Trustee does not exercise the Subscription Rights in full on Shareholders' behalf, the unexercised Subscription Rights will lapse with no value and no compensation will be payable to Shareholders.
The Company will apply to TISE for the new Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to any exercise of Subscription Rights to be admitted to a listing on TISE. It is expected that admission will become effective and that dealings in normal settlement in respect of the new Ordinary Shares will commence on or around 10 December 2024.
New Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of Subscription Rights will not rank for any dividends or other distributions declared, paid or made on the Ordinary Shares by reference to a record date prior to the Subscription Date but, subject thereto, will rank in full for all dividends and other distributions declared, paid or made on the Ordinary Shares and otherwise will rank pari passu in all other respects with the Ordinary Shares in issue at the Subscription Date.
No fraction of a new Ordinary Share will be issued on the exercise of any Subscription Rights and no refund will be made to an Ordinary Shareholder in respect of any part of the Subscription Price paid by that Ordinary Shareholder which represents such a fraction (if any).
You should note that it is not possible to nominate any other person as the allottee of all or any of the Ordinary Shares to which you are entitled.
Subscription Trustee
Within seven days following the Subscription Date, the Company shall appoint a trustee who, provided that in such trustee's opinion the net proceeds of sale after deduction of all costs and expenses incurred by, and any fee payable to, such trustee will exceed the costs of exercising the Subscription Rights, including the Subscription Price, shall within the period of 14 days following the Subscription Date, exercise all or some of the Subscription Rights which shall not have been
exercised on the terms on which the same could have been exercised on the Subscription Date and sell in the market the Ordinary Shares resulting from such exercise. The Subscription Trustee's obligations to exercise Subscription Rights shall be limited to its opinion of the level of market demand to acquire Ordinary Shares at a price that will generate Net Profit and the Board's overall discretion that exercise of the Subscription Rights will be in the best interests of the Company.
The Subscription Trustee shall distribute pro rata the Net Profit to the persons entitled thereto at the risk of such persons within 56 days of the Subscription Date, provided that entitlements of under £5 shall be retained for the benefit of the Company. If the Subscription Trustee shall not exercise the Subscription Rights within the period of 14 days following the Subscription Date, the Subscription Rights in respect of the Subscription Date shall lapse.
Overseas Shareholders
Each Application Form or CREST instruction will be deemed to contain a representation that, at the time of submission to the Company, the holder of the Ordinary Shares concerned is not a US Person or a person in Canada, Australia, Japan, or the Republic of South Africa or, if he is such a person, his exercise of Subscription Rights is permitted by, and will not infringe, the securities laws of the relevant jurisdiction.
Should you have any queries about the right to subscribe described in this letter, please call Computershare Investor Services PLC on 0370 707 4040 (or +44 370 707 4040, if calling from outside the United Kingdom). Please note, however, that Computershare Investor Services PLC are unable to offer investment advice as to whether you should exercise your right to subscribe.
This letter is sent in accordance with the terms of the Articles of Incorporation. It is not to be taken as a recommendation to Shareholders to exercise their Subscription Rights or otherwise. In this respect, if you are in any doubt about the action you should take, you should immediately consult your stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant or other independent financial adviser who is (if you are taking advice inside the United Kingdom) authorised under FSMA or, if you are taking advice in a territory outside the United Kingdom, is an appropriately authorised independent financial adviser.
