Letter from the Managing Director

30 August 2021

Dear Investors and fellow Shareholders,

I am pleased to invite you to participate in Flagship Investments Limited's (FSI) convertible note offer. The listed, redeemable, unsecured convertible notes (FSI Notes) are an invitation for new investors to take an interest in our business and to provide existing Shareholders with a further avenue to benefit from their ownership in our Company. The Offer is subject to Shareholder Approval which will be sought at the Annual General Meeting of the Company and a notice of meeting will be sent to Shareholders shortly.

This Prospectus contains further details of the Offer, the terms of the FSI Notes and a description of the risks associated with an investment in the FSI Notes and FSI. I encourage you to read the entire Prospectus carefully and consider the risks before deciding whether to participate in the Offer.

Benefits to Shareholders

The Board first and foremost respect the rights of our Shareholders and will seek opportunities to add value for our loyal Shareholder base. The FSI Notes will provide an immediate injection of capital which will be utilised by the Investment Manager in accordance with the existing Investment Mandate. Based on the since inception portfolio performance of 13.5% per annum there should be respectable uplift in Net Tangible Assets (NTA) over the period after payment of note interest. The uplift in NTA generally culminates in an uplift in FSI's share price and allows for increased dividends over time.

At the point of conversion, the increased market capitalisation of the Company means greater coverage from LIC research houses - expanding the marketability and visibility of FSI.

Benefits to Investors

The FSI Notes are an attractive product that could form a defensive component of an investment portfolio. Currently the returns on cash are negligible and therefore investors are looking for fixed income alternatives. The FSI Notes will provide a return of 5.5% per annum with liquidity subject to market pricing should you wish to exit early. Additionally, the note holder has the conversion option that provides an opportunity to capitalise on share price appreciation after the second anniversary date and 10 days before the 5 year maturity date. Shares in FSI have been tightly held by a loyal Shareholder base, the FSI Notes provide a unique opportunity for a fixed price entry to the Company's diversified portfolio.

FSI currently does not have any other debt and makes a commitment not to extend indebtedness beyond the $20 million raising. This provides Investors with relatively low-risk access to a 5.5% return with additional upsides.
