If Shareholders are in doubt as to how they should vote, they should seek advice from their professional advisors prior to voting. For personal use only Should you wish to discuss the matters in this Notice of Meeting, Explanatory Statement or Independent Expert’s Report please do not hesitate to contact the Company Secretary, Mr John Raftis on (+61 8) 9420 9999. 26 May 2011 Dear Fellow Shareholder Re: Major Transaction On 8 April, your company Eftel Limited ( ASX: EFT ) announced an in principle agreement to purchase ClubTelco Pty Ltd, a national ISP with offices in Queensland, Victoria and the Philippines. A formal transaction agreement was entered into on 18 April 2011. ClubTelco is a very similar business to Eftel. It delivers around 60,000 services, including ADSL, fixed line telephony, VoIP, mobile broadband and mobile telephony, and generates approximately $28M annual turnover. ClubTelco was formed by the founders and directors of Dodo, Australia’s largest privately held telecommunications company, who have been an Eftel partner since 2008. The transaction, which is subject to Eftel shareholder approval, will see your company double in size to 120,000 active services and in excess of $55M annual turnover. The combined entity will employ more than 300 people located across offices in Manila, Kuala Lumpur, Melbourne, the Gold Coast and Perth. The agreement will also see $2.1M of additional equity capital injected by the new shareholders. Combined with the introduction of the ClubTelco business the new capital being brought into the business is estimated at $9.6M. The shares will be issued at approximately 1.243cents each, representing an 18% premium to the one month weighted average price at the time of the announcement. This proposed transaction brings the most significant opportunities to date to Eftel’s growth plans. Apart from being your company’s largest ever merger or acquisition deal, the proposed transaction introduces a fresh controlling interest in the form of the key stakeholders in Dodo. They are, without peer, this industry’s organic growth champions. Eftel’s history is one of merger and acquisition, and we have continued to foreshadow that we would keep growing through this process. As already demonstrated by the market’s reaction since we announced this deal, we believe it offers substantial upside to shareholder value. By contrast, we believe that continuing as a standalone entity presents very significant threats and challenges. Numerous companies of similar and even larger size have in recent years exited the marketed as standalone entities. We believe the present structure of the industry demands urgent scaling up. As part of this deal we have also been able to attract the services of Scott Stavretis as the new CEO of your company. Scott has come across from Dodo, where he was responsible for the executive management and operations of the entire group. He has over 15 years of Internet and telecommunications experience. Since its inception in 2001, he has played a pivotal role in Dodo’s growth into Australia’s largest private For personal use only telecommunications group. He was also responsible for forming related entities including Dodo Power & Gas and ClubTelco. Scott is offering to personally put $500,000 of investment into your company at the same price that has been offered by the other new investors. This is also subject to your approval. We believe this additional equity, taken in the first instance as loan funds, are essential for your company at this important phase of its development, and that Scott’s sizeable personal investment will also give the shareholders at large greater confidence. As part of the ClubTelco transaction process, your Board engaged William Buck in Sydney as an Independent Expert to review the proposed transaction. They have formed the view that this transaction is fair and reasonable to the existing Eftel shareholders. This booklet contains your Notice of Meeting, Explanatory Statement and Independent Expert’s Report. We have also enclosed your Proxy Form and Reply Paid Envelope. Your vote on this matter is very important and we trust you will participate in this process. Thank you for your continued investment in Eftel.
