ASX/Media Release: 8 April 2019

Completion of Small Shareholding Sale Facility

Sydney, 8 April 2019 - Quickstep Holdings Limited (ABN 55 096 268 156) (Company or QHL) advises that it has completed the small shareholding sale facility (Sale Facility) previously announced to the market on 12 February 2019.

The Sale Facility was established to assist holders of parcels of Company shares with a market value of less than A$500 (Small Holdings) to sell those Small Holdings in a simple and cost‐effective manner, and reduce the administrative cost to the Company with the consequent reduction in the number of shareholders.

Pursuant to the terms of the Sale Facility, a total of 3,122,951 ordinary shares (Shares) across 1,017 holdings were placed by PAC Partners to a single institutional client. Participants in the Sale Facility should receive proceeds from the sale of their Shares within the next week.

The Small Holdings sold into the Sale Facility represented only 0.45% of issued shares, but approximately 19% of holdings in the Company. Following Completion of the Sale Facility, the number of shareholders in the Company has reduced from approximately 5,350 to 4,330, which is expected to deliver future benefit to remaining shareholders through lower ongoing corporate administrative costs.

The Company would like to thank both Computershare and PAC Partners for managing and facilitating the Sale Facility process.
