SHAREHOLDERS OF CONTANGO MICROCAP LIMITED – UPCOMING AGM

Tuesday 28^th November 2017 – In Sydney – Voting Closes Sunday 26^th November 2017 at 10.00am

VOTE “NO” TO ALL RESOLUTIONS

WHY VOTE “NO”?

• The Board is allowing CGA to sell your asset (the right to manage your portfolio) for $12.5m - you get NOTHING for this sale! – CTN OWN the rights to manage the portfolio - NOT CGA, whose performance has been disastrous
• In our view, the current Board has not operated YOUR Company in your best interests
  • It terminated OC Funds management – a much better manager – already costing $2m in lost performance so far, and a $1m fee settlement
  • By maintaining CGA as investment manager over the last 6 months, it has lost another $25m of underperformance
  • By appointing Naos. and letting them change the portfolio during the month of October, another $5m has been foregone
  • All up approximately $0.25 of NTA value has gone down the toilet on this Board’s watch
• The new Investment Management Agreement (IMA) sets a completely new focus for the Company and is totally unsatisfactory
  • Small companies NOT microcaps
  • Concentrated – 15-20 stocks instead of a diverse portfolio – high risk
  • NAOS currently manage 2 other LIC’s amounting to a combined value of only 60% of CTN’s portfolio value - this is a big step up, and provides further concentration risk
  • No resource exposure – one third of microcaps are miners
  • High fees – management fees should be around 0.8%pa for this size portfolio
• Atrocious termination provisions – an absolute 10-year lock-in, with high termination fees thereafter
• The current Board is aligned to the success of investment managers – not CTN shareholders – forget the token shareholdings that the Evans’ have in CTN – they are insignificant compared to their Naos Asset Management positions

IF A “NO” VOTE WINS – WHAT THEN?

• The remaining director (Trevor Carroll) should appoint David Stevens, Ian Ferres, and Glenn Fowles as interim Board members
• NAOS will manage the portfolio under the OLD IMA while the new Board embarks on a proper, due-diligence based investment manager search
• This process may involve multiple managers, and could include OC, NAOS (on much better terms for CTN than they are proposing), and Geoff Wilson amongst others
• CTN will STAY a microcap Company
• All of CTN’s managers will be independent of the Board
• A proper buy-back arrangement will be implemented to allow shareholders to exit at NTA
• The old dividend policy will remain in place
• A new name more fitting for the Company will be proposed
