Quickstep Share Purchase Plan

Not for release or distribution in the United States

13 March 2019

Dear Shareholder

Offer to participate in the Quickstep Share Purchase Plan

The Directors of Quickstep Holdings Limited (ASX: QHL) (Quickstep) are pleased to offer you the opportunity to participate in the Quickstep Share Purchase Plan (SPP).

The SPP offers eligible shareholders an opportunity to purchase further shares in Quickstep (New Shares) for an application price of A$1,000, A$2,000, A$5,000, A$10,000 or A$15,000 free from brokerage and transaction costs.

The SPP forms part of a broader capital raising announced to the market on 7 March 2019 (Capital Raising) which also included a placement to institutional and sophisticated investors to raise A$10.625 million (before costs) (Placement). The Small Shareholding Sale facility announced on 12 February 2019 will remain in place.

The offer price for the New Shares will be A$0.085 per New Share, which is the same as the price of the shares being issued under the Placement. This represents a 9.1% discount to the volume weighted average price of Quickstep shares for the five trading day period up to and including 5 March 2019 (the trading day prior to Quickstep going into a trading halt) of A$0.0935.

The SPP is not underwritten. Quickstep reserves absolute discretion regarding the amount raised under the SPP and the exercise of its right to scale back applications. Should a scale-back happen, you may be allocated New Shares to a value which is less than the parcel of New Shares you applied for and the difference will be refunded to you.

Funds raised under the Capital Raising will be used to strengthen Quickstep's balance sheet to allow flexibility to reduce debt and accelerate the company's future growth plans.

Participation in the SPP is entirely optional and open to shareholders who were holders of fully paid ordinary shares in Quickstep as at 5pm Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT) on Wednesday 6 March 2019 and whose registered address is in Australia or New Zealand.

The SPP opens on Wednesday 13 March 2019 and will remain open until 5pm AEDT on Wednesday 27 March 2019 (unless extended). As soon as practicable after the close of the SPP, Quickstep will make an ASX announcement as to the outcome of the SPP and the number of New Shares to be issued.

The offer of New Shares is made under an SPP Offer Booklet and an Application Form (both enclosed). To apply for a parcel of New Shares, please follow the instructions on pages 3 and 4 of the SPP Offer Booklet, and on the Application Form.

These documents are important and should be read thoroughly in conjunction with the publicly available information relating to Quickstep. If you are unsure about whether to participate, please contact your professional adviser. If you require further information, please contact the Shareholder Information line on 02 9774 0499 and leave a message with a phone number we can contact you on.

On behalf of the Board, I invite you to consider this opportunity to increase your investment in Quickstep.

Yours sincerely,

Tony Quick Chairman

Quickstep Holdings Limited
