Dear Shareholder

Share Purchase Plan

Vivid Technology Limited (ASX: VIV) (Vivid Technology or the Company) is pleased to offer existing shareholders the opportunity to participate in a Share Purchase Plan (SPP or Offer). The SPP follows a placement of shares by Vivid Technology to professional and sophisticated investors, as announced to ASX on 6 December 2018 and 19 December 2018 (Placement).

Under the SPP, each eligible shareholder will be entitled to apply for up to A$15,000 of new shares at an issue price of $0.03 per new share (being the same price as the issue price under the Placement). The issue price represents an 8% discount to the volume weighted average price of Vivid Technology's shares quoted on the ASX during the five trading days immediately prior to the date of the announcement of the SPP.

Shareholders who are recorded on the share register as at 7.00 pm (AEDT) on 5 December 2018 with a registered address in either Australia or New Zealand will be eligible to participate in the SPP.

The net proceeds of the SPP will be used, together with the proceeds of the Placement, for general working capital purposes to allow the Company to maintain and capitalise on its current work in hand and forward order book, both domestically and internationally. Further details are set out in the Company's ASX announcements dated 6 December 2018 and 19 December 2018.

Eligible shareholders are able to purchase up to $15,000 of new shares without incurring brokerage or transaction costs. Applications for new shares can only be made in $1,000 increments and must be for a minimum of $1,000 and a maximum of $15,000.

All new shares issued under the SPP will rank equally with existing ordinary shares in the Company.

The SPP is expected to close on 24 January 2019 and is not subject to shareholder approval.

I encourage you to read the attached SPP Terms and Conditions carefully. If you are unsure about whether to participate, please contact your professional adviser. If you require further information, please contact the Company's registry provider, Computershare, on 1300 850 505 (within Australia) or +61 3 9415 4000 (outside Australia) between 8.30am to 5.00pm (Melbourne time) Monday to Friday.

Yours sincerely
