IMPORTANT INFORMATION
For personal use only
This Prospectus is dated 26 July 2022 and was lodged with the ASIC on that date. The ASIC, ASX and their respective officers take no responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus or the merits of the investment to which the Prospectus relates.
No Securities may be issued on the basis of this Prospectus later than 13 months after the date of this Prospectus.
No person is authorised to give any information or to make any representation in connection with this Prospectus which is not contained in this Prospectus. Any information or representation not so contained may not be relied on as having been authorised by the Company in connection with this Prospectus.
It is important that investors read this Prospectus in its entirety and seek professional advice where necessary. The Securities offered by this Prospectus should be considered as highly speculative.
Applications for Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus can only be made by an original Entitlement & Acceptance Form.
This Prospectus is a transaction specific prospectus for an offer of continuously quoted securities (as defined in the Corporations Act) and has been prepared in accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act. It does not contain the same level of disclosure as an initial public offering prospectus and is only required to contain information to the effect of the issue of securities on a company and the rights attaching to the securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.
Representations contained in this Prospectus are made taking into
account that the Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and certain matters are publicly available information or may reasonably be expected to be known to investors and professional advisers whom prospective investors may consult.
No investment advice
The information contained in this Prospectus is not financial product advice and does not take into account your financial or investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs (including financial or taxation
issues). You should seek professional advice from your accountant, financial adviser, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser before deciding to subscribe for Securities under this Prospectus to determine whether it meets your objectives, financial situation and needs.
Forward-looking statements
This Prospectus contains forward- looking statements which are identified by words such as 'may', 'could', 'believes', 'estimates', 'targets', 'expects', or 'intends' and other similar words that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements are based on an assessment of present economic and operating conditions, and on a number of assumptions regarding future events and actions that, as at the date of this Prospectus, are expected to take place.
Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, the Directors and the Company's Management. The
Company cannot and does not give any assurance that the
results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus will actually occur and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
The Company has no intention to update or revise forward-looking statements, or to publish prospective financial information in the future, regardless of whether new information, future events or any other factors affect the information contained in this Prospectus, except where required by law.
These forward-looking statements are subject to various risk factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or anticipated in these statements. These risk factors are set out in Section 5 of this Prospectus.
Overseas shareholders
This Offer does not, and is not intended to, constitute an offer in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus.
It is not practicable for the Company to comply with the securities laws of overseas jurisdictions having regard to the number of overseas Shareholders, the number and value of New Shares these Shareholders would be offered and the cost of complying with regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Offer is not being extended and Securities will not be issued to Shareholders with a registered address which is outside Australia or New Zealand.

Continuous disclosure obligations
The Company is a "disclosing entity" (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of section 713 of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and
disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of its Shares.
This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock
exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the
other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.
Having taken such precautions and having made such reasonable enquiries, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the three (3) months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX.
Please refer to section 6.2 for further details.
Target market determination
In accordance with the design and distribution obligations under the Corporations Act, the Company has determined the target market for the offer of the New Options issued under this Prospectus. The Company and the Joint Lead Managers will only distribute this Prospectus to those investors who fall within the target market determination (TMD) as set out on the Company's website (www.australianpotash.com.au).
By making an Application under the Offer you warrant that you have read and understood the TMD and that you fall within the target market set out in the TMD.
Electronic Prospectus
A copy of this Prospectus can be downloaded from the website of
the Company at www.australianpotash.com.au. If you are accessing the electronic version of this Prospectus for the purpose of making an investment in the Company, you must be an Australian or New Zealand resident and must only access this Prospectus from within Australia or New Zealand.
The Corporations Act prohibits any person passing onto another person an Entitlement & Acceptance Form unless it is attached to a hard copy of this Prospectus or it accompanies the completed and unaltered version of this Prospectus. You may obtain a hard copy of this Prospectus free of charge by contacting the Company by phone on +61 8 9322 1003 during office hours or by emailing the Company at admin@australianpotash.com.au.
The Company reserves the right not to accept an Entitlement & Acceptance Form from a person if it has reason to believe that when the person was given access to the
electronic Entitlement & Acceptance Form, it was not provided together with the electronic Prospectus and any
relevant supplementary or replacement prospectus or any of
those documents were incomplete or altered.
Company website
No documents or other information available on the Company's website is incorporated into this Prospectus by reference.
Financial forecasts
The Directors have considered the matters set out in ASIC Regulatory Guide 170 and believe that they do not have a reasonable basis to forecast future earnings on the basis that the operations of the Company are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, any forecasts or projection information would contain such a broad range of
potential outcomes and possibilities that it is not possible to prepare a reliable best estimate forecast or projection.
Clearing House Electronic Sub- register System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship
The Company will apply to participate in CHESS, for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company.
Electronic sub-registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with statements (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of Securities issued to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.
Electronic sub-registers also mean ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation. Further monthly statements will

be provided to holders if there have been any changes to their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.
Definitions and Time
Unless the contrary intention appears or the context otherwise requires, words and phrases contained in this Prospectus have the same meaning and interpretation as given in the Corporations Act and capitalised terms have the meaning given in the Glossary in Section 7.
All references to time in this Prospectus are references to Australian Western Standard Time.
Privacy Act
If you complete an Entitlement & Acceptance Form, you will be providing personal information to the Company (directly or by the Company's Share Registry). The Company collects, holds and uses that information to assess your Application, service your needs as
a Shareholder, facilitate distribution payments and corporate communications to you as a Shareholder and carry out administration.
The information may also be used from time to time and disclosed to persons inspecting the register, bidders for your securities in the context of takeovers, regulatory bodies, including the Australian Taxation Office, authorised securities brokers, print service providers, mail houses and the Share Registry.
You can access, correct and update the personal information that we hold about you. Please contact the Company or the Share Registry if you wish to do so at the relevant contact numbers set out in this Prospectus.
Collection, maintenance and disclosure of certain personal information is governed by legislation including the Privacy
Act 1988 (Cth) (as amended), the Corporations Act and certain rules such as the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. You should note that if you do not provide the information required on the Entitlement & Acceptance Form, the Company may not be able to accept or process your Application.

All other trademarks, trade names and service marks appearing in this Prospectus are the property of their respective owners.
