Dear Shareholder,

AUSENCO LIMITED SCHEME OF ARRANGEMENT

You will by now have received the Scheme Booklet which deals with the proposed Scheme of Arrangement between Resource Capital Fund VI L.P. (RCF) and Ausenco Limited (Scheme of Arrangement). As previously advised, two shareholder meetings will be held in connection with the Scheme of Arrangement. Both meetings will be held in Brisbane on 25 August, 2016. The Scheme Meeting will be preceded by an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) to consider a resolution which is necessary for the Scheme to proceed. The EGM will commence at 10:00 am AEST and the Scheme Meeting will commence on the later of 10:30 am (AEST) and the completion of the EGM.

Information on the venue for both meetings and the resolutions to be considered is given in the ASX release which accompanies this letter and dealt with in more detail in the Scheme Booklet.

The Ausenco Independent Board Committee (IBC) continues to recommend that you vote in favour of the resolutions to be considered at the EGM and the Scheme Meeting. You may vote on the resolutions by attending the meetings and voting in person or by Proxy. Please note that the EGM Resolution is separate to the Scheme Resolution. Provided you intend to vote on both matters, please ensure that you vote for the relevant resolution for each meeting in order for your votes to be properly cast and counted (i.e. you are entitled to vote on two matters and the IBC encourages you to vote on both).

If voting by proxy, please vote promptly by voting online at www.investorvote.com.au or by mailing or faxing your completed proxy forms so that they are received by 10.30am (AEST), Tuesday, 23 August 2016. The Control Numbers which were included in your applicable Proxy / Notice of Direction Form and which enable lodging of your proxies online for each separate resolution are: EGM Resolution (138684) and Scheme Resolution (138677).

If mailing your proxy form, please be aware that it can take up to 3 business days to receive your proxy forms if they are returned by post (within Australia). You should take this timing into account if returning your proxy forms by post.

If you have any questions in relation to the Scheme Booklet, the Scheme of Arrangement, the EGM or the Scheme meeting please contact the Ausenco Shareholder Information Line on 1800 206 847 (within Australia) or +61 1800 206 847 (outside Australia).

Yours sincerely

AUSENCO LIMITED George Lloyd Chairman
