  • ▪ A 3.5% discount to the 30 day VWAP to the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 6 April 2022.

The Entitlement Offer will raise approximately A$1,982,000. New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer will rank equally with existing Shares.

As announced on 11 April 2022, the Company conducted an institutional placement to raise A$1.8 million by the issue of 105,882,353 new Shares at the issue price of A$0.017.

Entitlement Offer

1. Details of the Entitlement Offer

1.1 The Entitlement Offer

The Entitlement Offer was announced to ASX on 11 April 2022.

Under the Entitlement Offer, each Eligible Shareholder is entitled to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 17 Existing Shares held on the Record Date at A$0.017 per New Share.

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable. This means that Shareholders may not dispose of their rights to subscribe for New Shares under the Entitlement Offer to any other party, and any Shareholders who do not take up their Entitlements by the Closing Date of 3 May 2022 will not receive any payment or value for those Entitlements (as those Entitlements will lapse on that date) and their proportionate equity interest in the Company will be diluted.

The number of New Shares to which you are entitled is shown on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Fractional entitlements to New Shares have been rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares. If you have more than one registered holding of Shares, you will have more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and you will have separate Entitlements for each separate holding.

New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer will be fully paid and rank equally with existing Shares on issue, including with respect to entitlement to dividends. If you take no action, you will not be allocated any New Shares and your Entitlement will lapse.

To qualify for the Entitlement Offer under this Offer Document, a Shareholder must:

  • (a) be registered as a Shareholder at 7.00pm (Melbourne time) on the Record Date;

  • (b) have an address in Australia or New Zealand, other than certain institutional or sophisticated shareholders and investors in foreign jurisdictions determined by the Directors, as recorded on the Company's share register as at the Record Date;

  • (c) not be in the United States and not be acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States; and

  • (d) be eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Entitlement Offer without any requirement for a prospectus, disclosure document, or any lodgement, filing, registration or qualification,

( Eligible Shareholder ).

There is no minimum subscription for the Entitlement Offer. The Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten on the terms detailed in this Offer Document.

1.2 Purpose of the Entitlement Offer and Placement

The proceeds of the Placement and the Entitlement Offer will be used as set out in the following table:

1.3 Top Up Offer

Eligible Shareholders are also able to participate in a further discretionary offer of Additional New Shares, being the New Shares that have been initially offered to Eligible Shareholders under the Entitlement Offer and have not been taken up by them (ie any Shortfall). New Shares which might otherwise have been offered to persons outside Australia and New Zealand are not included in the Top Up Offer. In addition:

  • (a) the Top Up Offer is only made to Eligible Shareholders who have fully taken up their Entitlements;

  • (b) the Top Up Offer is capped at a maximum of 50% of the Eligible Shareholder’s Entitlement;

  • (c) there is no guarantee that any application in the Top Up Offer will be successful and the Directors reserve the right to issue any shortfall by way of the Top Up Offer or by other means and reserve the right to satisfy applications in the Top Up Offer at their sole and complete discretion;

  • (d) the Top Up Offer currently has the same Closing Date as the Entitlement Offer, but the Company reserves the right to extend this date without prior notice or reason;

  • (e) the Issue Price of Additional New Shares under the Top Up Offer is the same as the Issue Price, which is A$0.017 per Additional New Share; and

  • (f) the Company will not issue Additional New Shares under the Top Up Offer where to do so would result in a breach of its constitution, the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules.

1.4

Allocation Policy

All decisions regarding the allocation of Additional New Shares will be made by the Company, at its complete discretion, and will be final and binding on all Eligible Shareholders.

1.5

Underwriting

The Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten by Venturian, a company controlled by Mr Andrew Barlow (the Chairman of the Company), and is partially sub-underwritten by various parties including most of the directors of the Company or their related parties. Please refer to Section 7 of this Offer Document for further details.

Venturian will not receive an underwriting commission, management or pricing fee on completion of the Entitlement Offer for underwriting the Entitlement Offer, other than an underwriting fee of 1% of any amount sub-underwritten by a person or entity that is not a related party of the Company. Venturian will pay that fee to the non-related party sub-underwriters in respect of the amount they sub-underwrite, and accordingly Venturian will not retain any part of the underwriting fee.

Please refer to Section 7 of this Offer Document for further details of the terms of the underwriting and sub-underwriting.

1.6

Issue of New Shares

New Shares under the Entitlement Offer are expected to be issued on or around 10 May 2022 (subject to change at the discretion of the Company).

The Company reserves the right (in its absolute discretion) to reduce the number of New Shares allocated to Eligible Shareholders, or persons claiming to be Eligible Shareholders, if their claims prove to be overstated or otherwise incorrect or if they fail to provide information to substantiate their claims.

1.7

ASX quotation

The Company has applied for a quotation of New Shares issued under this Offer Document. If permission for quotation is not granted by ASX, the New Shares will not be issued and Application Money will be refunded (without interest) as soon as practicable.

Offer Document

Page 10

1.8

Application Money

Until New Shares are issued, the Application Money will be held in a bank account in Australia. The account will be established and kept solely for the purpose of depositing Application Money. Any interest accrued on Application Money will be retained by the Company and will not be paid to the relevant Eligible Shareholder, including if the Entitlement Offer is cancelled or withdrawn.

1.9

Market prices for Shares on ASX

The lowest and highest market prices of Shares on ASX during the 3 months immediately preceding the date of this Offer Document were A$0.015 and A$0.022, respectively.

  • The Issue Price of A$0.017 per New Share is:

  • (a) equal to the closing price of the Company’s Shares on ASX on 6 April 2022, which was the last full day Shares traded on ASX before the announcement of the Entitlement Offer; and

  • (b) a 3.5% discount to the 30 day VWAP to the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 6 April 2022.

1.10

Foreign Shareholders

The New Shares being offered under this Offer Document are being offered to Shareholders with registered addresses in Australia or New Zealand.

The Entitlement Offer will not be offered to Non Eligible Foreign Shareholders, other than certain institutional or professional shareholders and investors in foreign jurisdictions determined by the Directors. The Company has determined that it is not economically viable and/or practicable for it to make offers to Non Eligible Foreign Shareholders due to the cost of meeting compliance requirements with securities laws in each applicable jurisdiction in which Non Eligible Foreign Shareholders reside. The Company reserves the right in its absolute discretion to offer the Entitlement Offer to a Shareholder with an address in the Company's share register outside Australia or New Zealand if the Company is satisfied that it is not precluded from lawfully issuing New Shares to that Shareholder either unconditionally or after compliance with conditions which the Directors in their sole discretion regard as acceptable.

For further details see section 5 of the Additional information section of this Offer Document.

1.11 Nominees and custodians

Due to legal restrictions, nominees and custodians may not send copies of this Offer Document or any material relating to the Entitlement Offer or accept the Entitlement Offer in relation to any person in the United States, or any person who is acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States, or to any person in any other jurisdiction outside Australia or New Zealand except to beneficial shareholders who are institutional or professional investors in certain foreign countries or as the Company may otherwise permit on compliance with applicable law.

1.12 Taxation implications

Shareholders should be aware that there may be taxation implications of participating in the Entitlement Offer and subscribing for New Shares. These taxation consequences may vary depending on the individual circumstances of each Shareholder.

Shareholders should consult their own professional taxation adviser to obtain advice in relation to the taxation laws and regulations applicable to their personal circumstances.

1.13 Risks

There are a number of risks associated with an investment in the Company which may affect its financial performance, financial position, cash flows and Share price. The key risk factors are set out in the Key Risks section of this Offer Document (section 4.3).

1.14 Regular reporting and disclosure

The Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and is therefore subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules. These obligations require the Company to notify ASX of information about specific events and matters as they arise for the purposes of ASX making that information available to the

Offer Document

Page 11

market. In particular, the Company has an obligation (subject to certain limited exceptions) to notify ASX once it is, or becomes, aware of information concerning the Company which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Company’s securities. All announcements made by the Company are available from the Company’s website www.adslot.com or ASX's website www.asx.com.au.

Additionally the Company is also required to prepare and lodge with ASIC yearly and half yearly financial statements accompanied by a directors’ statement and report and an audit review or report. These reports are released to ASX and published on the Company and ASX websites.

1.15 Rights and liabilities attaching to New Shares

New Shares issued under this Offer Document will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and will rank equally with all Existing Shares.

The rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Company’s constitution and are regulated by the Corporations Act, the general law, the ASX Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Rules. The constitution may only be varied by a special resolution passed by at least 75% of Shareholders present (and entitled to vote).

1.17 Financial amounts

Money as expressed in this Offer Document is in Australian dollars ($ or A$) unless otherwise indicated.

Offer Document

Page 12

  • (d) make payment and apply for New Shares in the following ways:

  • (i) by BPAY ® ; or

  • (ii) if you are unable to pay by BPAY ® (for example, because you are a New Zealand Shareholder who does not have an Australian bank account), by Electronic Funds Transfer as detailed in section 2.3 below.

2.2

Applying for Additional New Shares under Top Up Offer

If you have applied for your full Entitlement, you may wish to apply for more Shares under the Top Up Offer than the number shown on your Entitlement and Acceptance Form. To do this, complete the Additional New Shares section provided on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

If you are applying by BPAY® and wish to apply for Additional New Shares under the Top Up Offer, make a payment for more than your Entitlement. The Excess Amount will be taken to be an application for Additional New Shares under the Top Up Offer.

Applications for Additional New Shares under the Top Up Offer may be considered if and to the extent that not all Shareholders take up their full Entitlement. Applications for Additional New Shares under the Top Up Offer may be capped or scaled back at the sole and complete discretion of the Directors. There is no guarantee that any applications under the Top Up Offer will be successful.

2.3 Payment

The Issue Price of A$0.017 per New Share is payable on exercise of your Entitlement. For all Australian and New Zealand Eligible Shareholders, payments must be received by 5.00pm (Melbourne time) on the Closing Date (or such other date as may be determined by the Company).

Shareholders should be aware of the time required to process payments by BPAY® in making their Application.

Payment will only be accepted in Australian currency and (for Australian Eligible Shareholders) should be made through the BPAY® facility according to the instructions set out on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

To pay by Electronic Funds Transfer, shareholders in New Zealand (or who otherwise are unable to pay by BPAY ®) can visit the Entitlement Offer website https://adslot-offer.thereachagency.com to access your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You must use your unique payment reference number as displayed on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form when making your Electronic Funds Transfer payment. If you are not a securityholder in New Zealand and you wish to make an Electronic Funds Transfer payment, please contact the Share Registry using the phone number in the paragraph below.

New Zealand Eligible Shareholders can also call the Share Registry on 1300 855 080 (within Australia) or +61 3 9415 4000 (outside Australia) to make alternative payment arrangements.

Cash will not be accepted. Receipts for payment will not be issued. If you provide insufficient funds to meet the Application Money due to take up all or part of your Entitlement, you may be taken by the Company to have applied for such lower number of New Shares as your cleared Application Money will pay or your Application may be rejected.

Any Excess Amount may be treated as an application to apply for Additional New Shares under the Top Up Offer to the value of your Excess Amount. Your application for the Additional New Shares may not be successful (wholly or partially). Any surplus Application Monies received for more than your final allocation of any Additional New Shares will be refunded (only where the amount is A$5.00 or greater). You are not entitled to any interest that accrues on any Application Monies received or returned (wholly or partially).

Australian Eligible Shareholders to pay through BPAY®

Australian Eligible Shareholders with an Australian bank account should pay through BPAY®. Payment by BPAY® should be made in accordance with the instructions set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form using the reference number shown on that form and must be received by no later than 5.00pm (Melbourne time) on the Closing Date (or such other date as may be determined by the Company). Applicants should be aware that their own financial institution may

Offer Document

Page 13

implement earlier cut off times with regard to electronic payment. Applicants should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. It is the responsibility of the Applicant to ensure that funds submitted through BPAY® are received by this time.

When paying by BPAY®, please make sure to use the specific Biller Code and unique Customer Reference Number on the back of your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. If you receive more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, please only use the Customer Reference Number specific to the Entitlement on that form. If you inadvertently use the same Customer Reference Number for more than one of your Entitlements, you will deemed to have applied only for New Shares (and any Additional New Shares) in respect of the Entitlement to which that Customer Reference Number applies.

If you make your payment by BPAY® you do not need to return the Entitlement and Acceptance Form to the Share Registry.

Your completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form or BPAY® acceptance, once received, cannot be withdrawn.

2.4

Declining all or part of your Entitlement

If you decide not to take up all or part of your Entitlement, the Entitlements which are unexercised will lapse and may be taken up by Venturian. Your Entitlement to participate in the Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable and cannot be traded on the ASX nor any other financial markets, nor can it be privately transferred. Shareholders who do not take up their Entitlements in full will not receive any payment or value for those Entitlements they do not take up.

If you decide not to participate in the Entitlement Offer, you do not need to fill out or return the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Although you will continue to own the same number of Shares, your percentage shareholding in the Company will be diluted.

2.5

Non Eligible Foreign Shareholders

If you are a Non Eligible Foreign Shareholder, other than certain institutional shareholders and investors in foreign jurisdictions determined by the Directors, you may not take up any of, or do anything in relation to, your Entitlement under the Entitlement Offer.

3.2

Financial effect of the Entitlement

Shareholders are referred to the Investor Presentation for further information on the expected financial effect of the Entitlement Offer on the Company.

3.3

Impact on control

The potential effect that the Entitlement Offer will have on the control of the Company and the consequences of that effect will depend on a number of factors, including Eligible Shareholders’ interest in taking up their Entitlements. The Entitlement Offer is not expected to have a material impact on the control of the Company. In particular, the Company does not expect any shareholder to hold more than 20% of the Shares after completion of the Placement and the Entitlement Offer.

3.4

Directors

The Directors of the Company who are also Shareholders will be entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer on the same terms as other Eligible Shareholders. The Underwriter to the

4. Risk factors

4.1

Introduction

The Company's operations are subject to a number of risks which may impact on its future performance and forecasts. Before subscribing for New Shares, Shareholders should carefully consider and evaluate the Company and its business and whether the New Shares are suitable to acquire having regard to their own investment objectives and financial circumstances and taking into consideration the material risk factors.

In particular, Shareholders should consider the risk factors outlined in this section 4, any of which could affect the operating and financial performance of the Company or the value of an investment in the Company. The risk factors set out in the Key Risks section are not exhaustive.

You should consult your stockbroker, accountant, solicitor or other independent professional adviser to evaluate whether or not to participate in the Entitlement Offer. The Company has applied to ASX for the grant of official quotation of the New Shares. It is expected that normal trading on ASX will commence in relation to New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer on 10 May 2022. The Company will have no responsibility and disclaims all liability (to the maximum extent permitted by law, including for negligence) to persons who trade New Shares before the New Shares are listed on the official list of ASX or before they receive their written confirmation of issue, whether on the basis of confirmation of the allocation provided by the Company, the Share Registry or Venturian. ASX accepts no responsibility for any statement in this Offer Document.

4.2

New Zealand Shareholders

New Zealand Shareholders should also consider the taxation and currency risks associated with investing in New Shares.

4.3

Key Risks

This section discloses some of the key risks attaching to an investment in Adslot. Before investing or increasing your investment in Adslot, you should consider whether this investment is suitable for you having regard to publicly available information and your personal circumstances and following consultation with your professional advisors. The risks in this section are not, and should not be considered to be or relied on as, an exhaustive list of risks relevant to an investment in Adslot. The risks are general in nature and regard has not been had to the investment objectives, financial situation, tax position or particular needs of any investor.

4.4

Failure to retain existing customers and attract new customers

Adslot/’s business depends on its ability to retain existing customers and growth depends on its ability to attract further business from existing customers and to attract new customers.

Offer Document

Page 17

There is a risk that customers reduce the use of the Adslot online platforms, such as the Symphony workflow software or the Adslot Media trading platform, for example, in terms of the number of users, number of modules, value of advertising spend transacted and volume of transactions, which results in a reduction in the level of licence fees and trading revenue payments. There is a risk that they cease to use the Symphony workflow software or the Adslot Media trading platform at the end of any contracted periods. Therefore, there is a risk that if customers terminate their contracts, or reduce their usage of Adslot’s software or trading platform, Adslot’s revenue, including revenue characterised as recurring revenue, could decrease. There is also a risk that existing customers fail to expand their use of Adslot’s software or trading platform or that new customers fail to select Adslot’s software or trading platform for their businesses.

If customers do not continue to use Adslot’s software or trading platform and/or decrease their use over time, and if new customers do not choose to use Adslot’s software or trading platform, growth in revenue may slow, or revenue may decline.

4.5

Decline in advertising volumes and economic conditions

A decline in regional and global advertising volumes or recessionary economic conditions, including in the advertising services market, may adversely affect financial performance. Customers are media buying groups, advertising agencies and online publishers whose business operations depend on regional and global advertising activities which can be closely linked to regional and global economic activity.

4.6

Adslot operate in a competitive industry

Adslot competes against both other digital advertising software and/or trading platform providers and should they develop in-house software and trading platforms of their own, customers’ inhouse IT departments. Some existing and potential competitors have more resources than Adslot.

Competitors could increase their competitive position, or Adslot may fail to anticipate and respond to technology changes as quickly as its competitors, competitors may expand their product offering, and new competitors could develop products which compete with Adslot products.

4.7 Reliance on Symphony and Adslot Media trading platform and failure to adequately maintain and develop it

Adslot’s business model depends on an ability to continue to ensure that customers are satisfied with Symphony workflow software and the Adslot Media trading platform. There is a risk that Adslot may fail to maintain the Symphony workflow software and the Adslot Media trading platform adequately, or that updates may introduce errors and performance issues, causing customer satisfaction in the Symphony workflow software or Adslot Media trading platform to fall. Any of these factors may result in reduced sales and usage, loss of customers, damage to Adslot’s reputation, an inability to attract new customers and potentially claims for compensation.

Future revenue and growth also depends on an ability to develop enhancements and new features and modules for the Symphony workflow software and the Adslot Media trading platform so that they continue to meet customer needs, attract new customers and generate additional revenue from increased usage. There is a risk that the development and introduction of new features and modules does not result in a successful outcome for various reasons.

4.8

Failure to realise benefits from product development costs

Developing software and trading platform technology is expensive and the investment in the development of these product offerings often requires an extended period to achieve a return on investment. An important element of Adslot’s corporate strategy is to continue to make investments in innovation and related product opportunities. Adslot believes it must continue to dedicate resources to innovation efforts to develop the software and trading platform product offerings and maintain a competitive position. However, Adslot may not receive significant revenues from these investments for a material period, or may not realise such benefits at all.

4.9

Reliance on third party IT suppliers

Adslot relies on certain contracts with third party suppliers to maintain and support its IT infrastructure. In particular, Adslot relies on contracts with tier one solution providers for the provision of cloud hosted database, development platform, software or trading platform

Offer Document

Page 18

infrastructure. If contracts with key suppliers are terminated or suffer a disruption for any reason, this could materially adversely impact operations and financial performance.

4.10 Disruption or failure of technology systems

Both Adslot and its customers are dependent on the performance, reliability and availability of technology platforms, data centres and global communications systems (including servers, the internet, hosting services and the cloud environment in which products are provided). There is a risk that these systems may be adversely affected by disruption, failure, service outages or data corruption that could occur as a result of computer viruses, “bugs” or “worms”, malware, internal or external misuse by websites, cyber attacks or other disruptions including natural disasters, power outages or other similar events.

4.11 Security breach and data privacy

Adslot products involve the storage and transmission of customers’ confidential and proprietary information, including intellectual property, confidential business information, information regarding their customers, and other confidential information.

Adslot’s business could be materially impacted by security breaches of customer’s data and information, either by unauthorised access, theft, destruction, loss of information or misappropriation or release of confidential customer data.

4.12 Ability to attract and retain key personnel

Adslot’s success is dependent upon the retention of key personnel, in particular members of the senior management and product teams. In addition, Adslot needs to attract and retain highly skilled software development engineers.

Competition for such personnel is intense. There is a risk that Adslot may not be able to attract and retain key personnel or be able to find effective replacements for them in a timely manner. The loss of such personnel, or any delay in their replacement, could materially adversely impact Adslot’s ability to operate the business, achieve growth strategies and secure prospects, including through the development and commercialisation of new products or modules.

4.13 Country/region specific risks in new and/or unfamiliar markets

As Adslot expands its presence in new international jurisdictions it is subject to the risks associated with doing business in regions that may have political, legal and economic instability or less sophisticated legal and regulatory systems and frameworks, including (i) unexpected changes in, or inconsistent application of, applicable foreign laws and regulatory requirements, (ii) less sophisticated technology standards; (iii) difficulties engaging local resources; and (iv) potential for political upheaval or civil unrest. As Adslot enters newer and less familiar regions there is a risk that it fails to understand the laws, regulations and business customs of these regions.

4.14 Failure to protect intellectual property rights

The value of the Adslot brand and products is dependent on an ability to protect intellectual property, including business processes and know-how, copyrights and trademarks. There is a risk that Adslot may be unable to detect the unauthorised use of its intellectual property rights in all instances. Further, actions taken to protect intellectual property may not be adequate or enforceable and thus may not prevent the misappropriation of intellectual property and proprietary information. Breach of intellectual property may result in the need to commence legal action, such as infringement or administrative proceedings, which could be costly, time consuming and potentially difficult to enforce in certain jurisdictions and may ultimately prove unfavourable. Failure to protect intellectual property rights could have an adverse impact on operations and financial performance.

4.15 General risks

Adslot is exposed to a number of other general business risks including risks relating to breach of third party intellectual property rights, failure to keep abreast of changes in political and regulatory environments, foreign exchange, potential litigation and certain investment risks.

Offer Document

Page 19

The following risks have been identified as being key risks. These risks have the potential to have a significant adverse impact on Adslot which may in turn affect the financial position, prospects and price of its listed securities. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, others can be covered by insurance, but some are outside the control of Adslot and cannot be mitigated or insured against.

Economic conditions

The economic condition of both domestic and global markets may affect the performance of Adslot. Factors such as fluctuations in currencies (including exchange rates), commodity prices, inflation rate, interest rates, supply and demand and industrial disruption may have an impact on operating costs and therefore future possible revenues and the share market price.

Dilution

Adslot shareholders will be diluted by the issue of New Shares under the Placement and Entitlement Offer.

Future capital requirements

The continued operations of Adslot may be dependent on its ability to obtain financing through debt, equity financing or capital raising. There is a risk that Adslot may not be able to access capital for working capital, future projects or developments due to factors beyond its control which could have a material adverse impact on Adslot’s business and financial condition.

Foreign exchange risks

A proportion of Adslot's revenues, costs, assets and liabilities are denominated in currencies other than Australian dollars. Exchange rate movements affecting these currencies may impact the income statement or assets and liabilities of Adslot, to the extent the foreign exchange rate risk is not hedged or not appropriately hedged.

Taxation

Future changes in Australian taxation law, including changes in interpretation or application of the law by the courts or taxation authorities in Australia, may affect taxation treatment of an investment in Adslot shares, or the holding and disposal of those shares. Further, changes in tax law, or changes in the way tax law is expected to be interpreted, in the various jurisdictions in which Adslot operates, may impact the future tax liabilities of Adslot.

Asset impairment

As a consequence of the global financial crisis, ASIC has specifically identified impairment of assets as an issue for Australian companies. Consistent with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 136 Impairment of Assets , Adslot is periodically required to assess the carrying value of its non-current assets, including its brands and goodwill. Where the recoverable amount of an asset is assessed to be less than its carrying value, Adslot is obliged to recognise an impairment charge in its income statement. Impairment charges can be significant and can reduce the level of a company’s profits and, potentially, its capacity to pay dividends. Impairment charges are a noncash item.

Business factors

The continuing economic viability of Adslot will be dependent on managing risk factors normally found in conducting a business, including management of contractual risks, litigation due to breach of agreements or in relation to employees (through personal injuries, industrial matters or otherwise), loss of services of key management or operational personnel or change in tax and accounting laws.

There can be no assurance that parties with whom Adslot has entered into commercial arrangements will adhere to the terms of the contracts and arrangements. There is the potential of material failure by or insolvency of any customer or supplier used by Adslot in any of its activities. Such being the case, this could cause disruption to the operations of Adslot. Adslot is unable to predict the risk of insolvency or other managerial failure by any of its customers or suppliers or other service providers used by Adslot.

All of the mentioned business factors could have a material adverse effect on the results of the operations or the financial condition of Adslot.

Offer Document

Page 20

Change in accounting policy

Adslot is subject to the usual business risk that there may be changes in accounting policies which impact Adslot.

Share market conditions

Securities listed on a stock market can experience price and volume fluctuations that are often unrelated to the performance of the company. General factors that may affect the market price of Adslot shares include economic conditions, both locally and internationally, the global security situation, the possibility of terrorist disturbances and changes in government legislation or policy.

Covid 19

The COVID-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented level of uncertainty. Although the current impact to Adslot’s operations, and demand for its services, is not significant, the evolution of the pandemic and any reimposition or extension of restrictions, including further lockdowns, increased restriction of workforce movement, increased safety protocols, and reduction in demand from Adslot’s customers, may negatively impact Adslot’s operations in the future.

5. Foreign jurisdictions

The information in this Offer Document does not constitute an offer in any jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer, and no action has been taken to register the Shares or otherwise permit a public offering of the New Shares in any jurisdiction outside of Australia or New Zealand. Return of the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form or your BPAY® payment will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation by you that there has been no breach of any such laws. Due to legal restrictions, nominees and custodians may not send copies of this Offer Document or any material relating to the Entitlement Offer or accept the Entitlement Offer in relation to any person in the United States, or any other person acting for the account or benefit of persons in the United States, or to any person in any other jurisdiction outside Australia or New Zealand except to beneficial Shareholders who are institutional or professional investors in certain foreign countries to the extent contemplated in the Investor Presentation under the Foreign selling restrictions section or as the Company may otherwise permit in compliance with applicable law.

5.1 United States

This Offer Document, and any accompanying ASX announcements and the Entitlement and Acceptance Form, do not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities in the United States.

Neither the New Shares nor the Entitlements may be offered or sold, directly or indirectly in the United States or to any other person acting for the account or benefit of persons in the United States except in a transaction exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and the applicable securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction in the United States. Neither the New Shares nor the Entitlements in the Entitlement Offer have been, nor will be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act. Accordingly, the New Shares and the Entitlements in the Entitlement Offer will be offered and sold to persons that are not in the United States and are not acting for the account or benefit of persons in the United States, in each case, only in "offshore transactions" as defined in Rule 902(h) under the U.S. Securities Act) in reliance on Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act. Because of these legal restrictions, you must not distribute, release or send this Offer Document or the Entitlement and Acceptance Form, or copies thereof, or any other material relating to the Entitlement Offer to any person in the United States. Persons acting as nominees for other persons must not participate in the Entitlement Offer and the nominee must not take up any Entitlement on behalf of, or send any materials related to the Entitlement Offer to, any person in the United States or any person that is acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States.

The distribution of this document outside Australia or New Zealand may be restricted by law. If you come into possession of this Offer Document, you should observe any such restrictions. Any failure to comply with such restrictions may contravene applicable securities laws. In particular, this document or any copy of it must not be taken into or distributed or released in the United

Offer Document

Page 21

States or distributed or released to any person in the United States or to any person acting for the account or benefit of persons in the United States.

5.2

New Zealand

The New Shares are not being offered or sold to the public within New Zealand other than to existing Shareholders with registered addresses in New Zealand to whom the offer of New Shares is being made in reliance on the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (New Zealand) and the Financial Markets Conduct (Incidental Offers) Exemption Notice 2021 (New Zealand).

This Offer Document has been prepared in compliance with Australian law and has not been registered, filed with or approved by any New Zealand regulatory authority. This document is not a product disclosure statement under New Zealand law and is not required to, and may not, contain all the information that a product disclosure statement under New Zealand law is required to contain.

6. Taxation

The potential tax effects of the Entitlement Offer will vary between investors, and taxation is only one of the matters that must be considered when making a decision whether or not to participate in the Entitlement Offer and subscribe for New Shares. Eligible Shareholders should seek specific advice applicable to their own particular circumstances from their own financial or tax advisers.

7. Underwriting and sub-underwriting

The Company entered into an arms’ length underwriting agreement with effect from 11 April 2022 with Venturian, a company controlled by Andrew Barlow (the Chairman of Adslot), who has agreed to underwrite the Entitlement Offer on the terms and conditions set out in the underwriting agreement ( Underwriting Agreement ).

The Underwriting Agreement contains terms and conditions customary for an agreement of that nature, including warranties and indemnities in favour of Venturian. Venturian has appointed subunderwriters, and is responsible for paying the fees of those sub-underwriters who are not related parties of the Company. None of the sub-underwriters that are related parties of the Company will be entitled to receive a fee in respect of their sub-underwriting.

If no other shareholder were to take up any part of their entitlement, no sub-underwriter were to subscribe for their sub-underwritten proportion (which would be in breach of their sub-underwriting agreements) and Venturian was required to subscribe for 100% of the New Shares under the Underwriting Agreement, Venturian’s proportionate shareholding in the Company would increase to approximately 8.51% (up from approximately 3.58% on a pre-Placement, pre-Entitlement Offer basis)

Venturian may immediately terminate the Underwriting Agreement and be released from its obligations under it (in certain circumstances, including having regard to the materiality of the relevant event) by written notice to the Company without cost or liability on any one or more of the following termination events including where:

  • (a) this Offer Document or information provided by the Company to the Underwriter are found to be misleading or deceptive;

  • (b) the Company materially breaches the Underwriting Agreement, including not giving required certificates, or the shortfall notification date under the Underwriting Agreement timetable being delayed for more than 5 business days;

  • (c) a material change occurs in respect of the Company, its Subsidiaries or the industry in which they operate;

  • (d) ASX approval for the quotation of the New Shares is not obtained;

  • (e) the Company withdraws or terminates the Entitlement Offer;

Offer Document

Page 22

  • (f) there are material disruptions in financial or economic conditions in key markets or hostilities commence or escalate in certain countries specified in the Underwriting Agreement (which does not include Ukraine or Russia).

Please note that the above is a summary of the material termination events in the Underwriting Agreement and not an exhaustive list. Venturian will receive a fee of 1.0% of the value of the New Shares issued to any sub-underwriters who are not related parties of the Company, under their sub-underwriting obligation. Those non-related sub-underwriters are to be paid a subunderwriting fee by Venturian of 1.0% of their sub-underwriting.

The Underwriter has entered into a number of sub-underwriting agreements with parties that include Directors or other related parties of the Company, to sub-underwrite part of the Entitlement Offer. For clarity, any Directors or other sub-underwriters who are related parties of the Company will not receive a sub-underwriting fee. The Directors (or their related parties) who are sub-underwriting any part of the Entitlement Offer and their maximum sub-underwriting amounts (not including any entitlement they would have as Shareholders) are as follows:

Director/related party sub-underwriter Current
percentage
**holding1 **
Maximum sub-
underwriting
shares
Maximum
percentage
**holding2 **
Adrian Giles (Director) 0.74% 2,076,777 0.80%
Ben Dixon (Director) 1.90% 1,033,412 1.85%
Andrew Dyer (Director) 2.78% 8,522,862 3.03%
Sarah Morgan (Director) 0.06% 515,589 0.08%
John Barlow (Associated with Andrew Barlow) 3.23% 35,294,118 4.67%

Note 1: prior to the issue of any shares under the Placement or the Entitlement Offer.

Note 2: assuming that each of these parties takes up their full Entitlement and their full subunderwritten amount.

The amount that each sub-underwriter ultimately subscribes for will depend on a number of factors, including the number of New Shares that are taken up by Shareholders under their Entitlements. The Underwriter intends to allocate Shortfall Shares between the sub-underwriters on a pro rata basis.

The key event under the sub-underwriting agreements that would cause each of them to be terminated is if the Underwriting Agreement were terminated prior to the allocation of New Shares under the Entitlement Offer. This is a summary only, however, and not an exhaustive list of all of the events that could cause the sub-underwriting agreements to be terminated.
