Important Notices

This Prospectus has been issued by Field Solutions Holdings Limited (ACN 111 460 121) (ASX:FSG) (FSG or the Company) and is dated 16 November 2021 and was lodged with ASIC and ASX on that date. Neither ASIC nor ASX takes any responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus or the merits of the investment to which this Prospectus relates.

Notification of the proposed issue of the New Shares will be made to ASX within 7 days of the date of this Prospectus. The fact that ASX may quote the New Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the investment to which this Prospectus relates.

No New Shares will be allotted or issued on the basis of this Prospectus later than 13 months after the date of this Prospectus.

FSG is an ASX listed company whose securities are granted official quotation by ASX. In preparing this Prospectus, regard has been had to the fact that FSG is a disclosing entity for the purpose of the Corporations Act and that certain matters may reasonably be expected to be known to investors and professional advisers whom investors may consult.

You should read and understand the entire Prospectus and, in particular, you should consider the risk factors that could affect the Company's performance. You should carefully consider these factors in light of your personal circumstances (including financial and taxation issues) and seek advice from your professional adviser. Investing in FSG involves risks. Refer to the 'Risk Factors' in Section 6 for a discussion of certain risk factors that you should consider.

No person is authorised to give any information or to make any representation in connection with this Prospectus which is not contained in the 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.

Nature of this Prospectus

The New Shares to be issued under this Prospectus are continuously quoted securities (as defined in the Corporations Act). This Prospectus is a transaction specific prospectus to which the special content rules under section 713 of the Corporations Act apply. That provision allows for the issue of a more concise prospectus in relation to an offer of securities in a class that has been continuously quoted by ASX in the three (3) months prior to the date of the prospectus. In general terms transaction specific prospectuses are only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of New Shares on the Company and the rights attaching to the New Shares. 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.

This Prospectus contains information only to the extent to which it is reasonable for investors and their professional advisers to expect to find the information in it. It does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offer.

This Prospectus provides general information to assist you with your own evaluation of the Company's assets. This Prospectus is not, and is not intended to be, advice on legal, financial, taxation or investment matters nor is it intended to be financial product advice from the Company or any of its directors, employees, agents or advisers.
