It does not contain the same level of disclosure as an initial public offering prospectus. In preparing this Prospectus, regard has been had to the fact that the Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and that certain matters may reasonably be expected to be known to investors and professional advisers whom investors may consult. Investors should therefore have regard to the other information disclosed to ASX in relation to the Company before deciding whether to invest.

Applicants should read this Prospectus in its entirety and seek professional advice where necessary.

Chairman’s letter

9 June 2023

Dear Investor,

On behalf of the Board, I invite you to participate in Adslot’s offer of New Shares and New Options to raise approximately $3.15 million ( Entitlement Offer ).

Details of the Entitlement Offer

The Entitlement Offer comprises a fully underwritten pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement offer at the price of $0.004 per New Share ( Offer Price ) with (at a nil issue price) 1 for 1 attaching New Options with an exercise price of $0.006 and an expiry date of 31 December 2024, to raise up to approximately $3.15 million.

The Entitlement Offer is being run concurrently with a placement of Shares and attaching New Options on the same terms as the Entitlement Offer, and these New Options are also being offered under this Prospectus.

New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer, and any Shares issued on exercise of the New Options, will rank equally with Existing Shares in all respects. For the purposes of participating in the Entitlement Offer, the shareholding of Eligible Shareholders will be determined by the number of Shares held at 7 pm (Melbourne time) on the Record Date of Thursday, 15 June 2023.

Eligible Shareholders can choose to take up all, part or none of their Entitlement. Entitlements are nonrenounceable, which means they cannot be traded.

The Entitlement Offer will open on Monday, 19 June 2023 and close at 5:00pm (Melbourne time) on Wednesday, 28 June 2023. If you are an Eligible Shareholder and you wish to take up all or part of your Entitlement, you need to ensure that you have completed and returned your Entitlement and Acceptance Form before this time in the manner described in section 2 of this Prospectus.

An investment in the Company involves risk, and as such you should read and carefully consider the risk factors in section 5 of this Prospectus, which contains a summary of some of the key risks associated with an investment in the Company and New Shares and New Options.

Further Information

Please carefully read this Prospectus in its entirety and consult your broker, legal, financial or other professional adviser before making your investment decision.

Any New Shares and attaching New Options from the Shortfall will be allocated by the Company (in consultation with the Underwriter), with allocations to Eligible Shareholders who take up their full entitlement under the Entitlement Offer and apply for additional New Shares and New Options from the Shortfall being capped at 50% of the entitlement to New Shares and New Options of the Eligible Shareholder under the Entitlement Offer. If there is insufficient Shortfall to meet demand from Eligible Shareholders, the Company (in consultation with the Underwriter) will scale back applications for Shortfall at its discretion, having regard to the shareholdings of Eligible Shareholders at the Record Date and control factors.

There is no guarantee that any application for New Shares and attaching New Options from the Shortfall will be successful, and the Company reserves the right to decline to allocate all or any part of the Shortfall to satisfy applications by Eligible Shareholders at its sole and complete discretion.

New Shares and attaching New Options remaining from the Shortfall after the allocation to Eligible Shareholders as described above will be allocated to the Underwriter (or sub-underwriters identified by the Underwriter).

No Shareholder, investor, Underwriter or sub-underwriter will be allocated New Shares and attaching New Options from the Shortfall if such allocation would result in the relevant interest of the Shareholder (and its associates) exceeding 19.99% of the issued capital of the Company. Additional New Shares and New Options will also not be issued to Shareholders or others from the Shortfall where to do so would involve a breach of the ASX Listing Rules, the Corporations Act or any other applicable law.

1.3. Placement Offer

As announced on 9 June 2023, concurrently with the Entitlement Offer, the Company is undertaking a placement of 275,000,000 Placement Shares to sophisticated and professional investors, on the same terms as the Entitlement Offer (including attaching New Options), for the purpose of raising up to approximately $1.1 million.

The Placement Offer to the Placement Participants of attaching New Options is made on, and subject to, the terms and conditions set out in this Prospectus.

You should note that only participants in the Placement will be eligible to participate in the Placement Offer. Please see associated definitions in section 8 for more details.

1.4.

Purpose of the Entitlement Offer and use of proceeds

The Company is seeking to raise up to approximately $3.15 million from the Entitlement Offer and approximately $1.1 million from the Placement.

The proceeds of the Offers will be used to:

  • (a) fund continued investment in product development on projects related to large commercial opportunities;

  • (b) provide activation resources related to currently contracted clients who have not yet fully activated the Adslot Media platform;

  • (c) engage in continued sales efforts in key markets, including the United States and the United Kingdom; and

  • (d) fund working capital requirements of the Company for the next 12 months.

If all of the New Options issued under the Offers were fully exercised, at their exercise price of $0.006 per option, the Company would raise approximately an additional $6.373 million.

In addition, as part of its capital management strategies, the Company is considering applying a portion of the proceeds of the Offers to undertake a minimum holding buy back of parcels of Shares having a value of less than $500 ( Unmarketable Parcels ).

After the Entitlement Offer is completed, assuming a trading price for the Shares of $0.004 and that none of the Shareholders that currently hold an Unmarketable Parcel increases their shareholding to $500 or more, a total of 50,765,813 Shares will be held by Shareholders that hold an Unmarketable Parcel. At a buy-back price of $0.004 per Share, the total buy-back price for those Unmarketable Parcels would be $203,063.25. If the Company conducts a minimum holding buy back, the Shares

----- Start of picture text -----

bought back will be cancelled, and as a result, the total number of Shares on issue would decrease. The
Company has not yet determined whether it will conduct a minimum holding buy back, however, and
accordingly such a buy back ultimately may not occur.

1.6. 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. As noted elsewhere in this prospectus, no sub-underwriter will be allocated Shortfall Shares that would take their interest in the Company above 19.99%.

1.7. Entitlement Offer details

The Entitlement Offer will open at 9:00 am (Melbourne time) on Monday 19 June 2023 and will close at 5:00pm (Melbourne time) on Wednesday 28 June 2023 (the Closing Date ).

The Entitlement Offer has been fully underwritten by the Underwriter. Any Entitlements not taken up by Eligible Shareholders will be allotted to Eligible Shareholders that apply for New Shares and New Options from the Shortfall and/or to the Underwriter and any sub-underwriter(s). The Directors, in consultation with the Underwriter, reserve the right to allocate any Shortfall at their discretion.

(a) Please consider the Entitlement Offer in light of your particular investment objectives and circumstances

Please consult with your broker, legal, financial or other professional adviser if you have any queries or are uncertain about any aspects of the Entitlement Offer. You should also refer to the risks associated with an investment in the Company and the New Shares and New Options which are set out in section 5 of this Prospectus.

An application for New Shares and New Options is subject to investment and other known and unknown risks, some of which are beyond the control of the Company, including possible loss of income and principal invested. The Company does not guarantee any particular rate of return or the performance of the Company, nor does it guarantee the repayment of capital from the Company or any particular tax treatment.

(b) Your Entitlement under the Entitlement Offer

Your Entitlement is set out on the accompanying personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and has been calculated as 1 New Share for every 2.8 Existing Shares you hold as at the Record Date. If the result is not a whole number, your Entitlement will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares.

If you have more than one registered holding of Existing Shares, you will be sent more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and you will have a separate Entitlement for each separate holding.

New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer (or on exercise of New Options) will be fully paid and from allotment rank equally in all respects with Existing Shares and will be entitled to dividends on the same basis as Existing Shares. The rights and liabilities attaching to the New Shares are set out in the Constitution, which can be inspected at the Company’s registered office.

Please also refer to sections 7.9 and 7.10, which contain a summary of the rights and liabilities attaching to the New Shares and New Options.

1.8. Placement Offer details

The Placement Offer is open to Placement Participants only. Placement Participants should complete and submit their Application Form for New Options in accordance with the instructions on the Application Form. Please read the instructions carefully.

1.11. Lead Manager and Underwriting

The Placement and the Entitlement Offer are lead managed and fully underwritten by Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited ( Underwriter ).

Refer to Section 7.7 for additional information on related party sub-underwriting.

1.13. Foreign Applicants

The distribution of this Prospectus and the Entitlement and Acceptance Form in jurisdictions outside Australia may be restricted by law. If you are a person (including a Shareholder) in any jurisdiction outside Australia and you come into possession of this Prospectus, then you should observe any such restrictions. See section 7.18 containing further information on International Entitlement Offer Restrictions. Any failure to comply with such restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws.

This Prospectus does not constitute an offer or invitation to potential investors to whom it would not be lawful to make such an offer or invitation. No action has been taken to register or qualify the New Shares or New Options or otherwise permit a public offering of the New Shares or New Options in any jurisdiction other than Australia (and to existing Shareholders only in New Zealand). In particular, neither the New Shares nor the New Options have been, and they will not be, registered under the US

13

Securities Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States, and they may not be offered, sold or resold in the United States.

Nominees, trustees and custodians must not apply on behalf of any beneficial holder that would not itself be an Eligible Shareholder. See section 1.18 for further information.

This Entitlement Offer is not open to Shareholders outside Australia and New Zealand ( Foreign Holders ) on the basis that the Directors have formed the view that it is unreasonable to make an offer to those persons having regard to the number of Foreign Holders, the Shares held by Foreign Holders, and the costs of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements in the place of residence of the Foreign Holders.

The Company reserves the right to reject any Application which it believes comes from a person who is not an Eligible Shareholder.

1.14. ASX quotation and trading of New Shares

The Company will apply to ASX for admission of the New Shares to official quotation within 7 days of the date of this Prospectus. While the Company is not aware of any reason why quotation would be denied, there is no assurance that the application will be granted. If ASX does not grant quotation of the New Shares within three months after the date of this Prospectus, the Company will refund all Application Monies in accordance with the Corporations Act and without payment of interest.

The Company does not propose to apply for quotation (listing) of the New Options.

Holding statements are expected to be despatched by the Share Registry to Eligible Shareholders by Monday 10 July 2023. It is the responsibility of each Applicant to confirm their holding before trading in New Shares. Any Applicant who sells New Shares before receiving confirmation of their holding in the form of their holding statement will do so at their own risk. The Company, the Underwriter, their respective related bodies corporate and affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, partners, employees and agents disclaim all liability whether in negligence or otherwise (and to the maximum extent permitted by law) to persons who trade New Shares before receiving their holding statement from the Share Registry, whether on the basis of confirmation of the allocation provided by the Company, the Share Registry or the Underwriter.

1.15. CHESS and issuer sponsored holdings

New Shares will participate in CHESS from the date of commencement of quotation. New Shares must be held in uncertificated form (i.e. no share certificate will be issued) on the CHESS sub register normally under sponsorship of a participant (usually a broker) or on the issuer-sponsored sub register. Arrangements can be made at any subsequent time, through your controlling participant, to convert your holding from the issuer-sponsored sub register to the CHESS sub register or vice versa.

1.16. Application Monies and interest

Application Monies received from an Applicant under the Entitlement Offer will, until New Shares and New Options in respect of the Application Monies are issued, be held by the Share Registry in a trust account. Refunds will be made via Electronic Funds Transfer where valid banking details are recorded with the Share Registry. Any balance of Application Monies that is remaining as a result of rounding will be refunded to you except where the amount is less than $5.00, in which instance it will be retained by the Company or donated to charity.

The Company reserves the right to withdraw or vary all or part of the Offers at any time, subject to Applicable Laws, in which case the Company will refund Application Monies in relation to Entitlements or New Shares and New Options not already issued in accordance with the Corporations Act and without payment of interest. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Applicant agrees that such Application Monies shall not bear or earn interest for the Applicant, irrespective of whether or not all or any New Shares and attaching New Options applied for by the Applicant are issued to the Applicant.

In the case of the Entitlement Offer, once you have paid your Application Monies, they will be held on trust for you in the Share Registry’s trust account. If the Entitlement Offer does not proceed, any Application Monies held on trust for you by the Share Registry will be returned (other than any interest that has accrued on the Application Monies, such monies being the property of the Company). If the Entitlement Offer proceeds, Application Monies will be taken out of the Share Registry trust account and will be the property of the Company (or the Share Registry) when the New Shares and New Options are issued to you.

1.17. Disclaimer

The Company and the Underwriter reserve the right to determine whether a Shareholder is an Eligible Shareholder. Please see all associated definitions in section 8 for more details of what constitutes an Eligible Shareholder. Please also refer to section 7.12 of this Prospectus which sets out the representations and warranties which accepting Applicants will be deemed to have given (confirming in the case of the Entitlement Offer that they are an Eligible Shareholder) by completing and returning their personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form or making a payment by BPAY®.

The Company, the Underwriter, their respective related bodies corporate and affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, partners, employees and agents disclaim all liability (to the maximum extent permitted by law) in respect of the determination as to whether an Applicant is an Eligible Shareholder.

1.18. Notice to nominees and custodians

Persons acting as nominees for other persons may not take up Entitlements or subscribe for New Shares and New Options on behalf of, or send any documents relating to the Offers 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 (to the extent such person holds Shares and is acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States) or other jurisdiction outside of Australia as set out in section 7.18 (Foreign Selling Restrictions).

The Company is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder or investor is acting as a nominee or custodian or the identity or residence of any Applicants (including beneficial owners of Existing Shares or Entitlements). Where any person is acting as a nominee or custodian for a foreign person, that person, in dealing with its beneficiary, will need to assess whether indirect participation in the Offers by the beneficiary complies with applicable foreign laws. The Company is not able to advise on foreign laws.

The Company, the Underwriter, their respective related bodies corporate and affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, partners, employees and agents disclaim all liability (to the maximum extent permitted by law) in respect of any application made by a person who is acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States.

2. How to apply under the Entitlement Offer

2.1. Completion of relevant form

Eligible Shareholders wishing to apply for New Shares and attaching New Options must complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form which accompanies this Prospectus or make payment via BPAY® in accordance with the instructions set out in their Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Applicants must complete the form in accordance with the instructions set out in Entitlement and Acceptance Form, including, in each case, the acceptance of the declarations and acknowledgements contained in the form and any application for Shortfall if desired, and submit it to the Share Registry.

Eligible Shareholders please visit the Entitlement Offer website www.computersharecas.com.au/ads.

2.2. Applying for additional New Shares and attaching New Options in the Shortfall

If you have applied for your full Entitlement (as shown by the number on your Entitlement and Acceptance Form), you may wish to apply for more New Shares and attaching New Options in the Shortfall. To do this, complete the relevant section in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

If you are applying by BPAY® and wish to apply for additional New Shares and attaching New Options in the Shortfall, make a payment for more than your Entitlement. The excess amount of Application Monies will be taken to be an application for additional New Shares and attaching New Options in the Shortfall.

2.3. If you are an Eligible Shareholder and do nothing

If you take no action, you will not be allocated New Shares and New Options, and your Entitlement will lapse.

Your Entitlement to participate in the Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable, not tradeable and not otherwise transferable. 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.

Eligible Shareholders who do not participate fully in the Entitlement Offer will have their percentage holding in the Company reduced.

2.4. Ineligible Shareholders

Ineligible Shareholders are not entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer. If you receive this Prospectus and a personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form but you are an Ineligible Shareholder, please disregard them.

2.5. Payment

Applicants must include, with the completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form, payment of Application Monies for an amount calculated by multiplying the number of New Shares applied for (including any New Shares from the Shortfall) by the Offer Price. Please note that the Company reserves the right to close the Offers early or suspend or withdraw the Offers at any time.

You can pay in the following ways:

  • (a) by BPAY® by visiting the Entitlement Offer website www.computersharecas.com.au/ads; or

  • (b) 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 below.

Cash payments will not be accepted, and payments will only be accepted in Australian currency. Receipts for payment will not be issued.

The Company will treat you as applying for as many New Shares as your payment will pay for in full up to your Entitlement.

If you provide insufficient funds to meet the Application Monies 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 and attaching New Options as your cleared Application Monies will pay or your Application may be rejected.

16

Any excess Application Monies will be treated as an application to apply for additional New Shares and attaching New Options in the Shortfall, to the value of that excess amount. Your application for the additional New Shares and attaching New Options may not be successful (wholly or partially). Any Application Monies received for more than your final allocation of New Shares and attaching New Options will be refunded (only where the amount is $5.00 or greater) as soon as practicable after the close of the Entitlement Offer. No interest will be paid to applicants on any Application Monies received or refunded.

The Company takes no responsibility for any failure to receive Application Monies or payment by BPAY® before the Entitlement Offer closes arising as a result of, amongst other things, delays in postage or processing of payments by financial institutions.

Payment by BPAY®

For payment by BPAY®, please follow the instructions on the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You can only make payment via BPAY® if you are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY® transactions.

If you are paying by BPAY®, please make sure you use the specific Biller Code and your unique Customer Reference Number ( CRN ) on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. If you have multiple holdings and consequently receive more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, when taking up your Entitlement in respect of one of those holdings only use the CRN specific to that holding, and submit the separate personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form provided for that holding, along with the relevant Application Monies for that holding. If you do not use the correct CRN specific to that holding your application will not be recognised as valid.

Please note that if you pay by BPAY®:

  • (a) you do not need to submit your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to make the declarations, representations and warranties on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form and in section 7.12; and

  • (b) if you do not pay for your full Entitlement, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of New Shares which is covered in full by your Application Monies.

If you pay with BPAY®, it is your responsibility to ensure that your BPAY® payment is received by the Share Registry by no later than 5:00pm (Melbourne time) on the Closing Date. You should be aware that your financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regard to electronic payment, and you should therefore take this into consideration in the timing of when you make payment.

Payment by electronic funds transfer

3.1. Background

Adslot is a publicly listed company with offices in New York, London, Shanghai, Munich, Sydney and Melbourne, servicing market-leading brands, agencies, and publishers all over the world.

3.2. Recent business operations

During the 2023 financial year, the Company has continued its progress towards profitability. In particular, the Company has implemented a series of cost reductions which will further reduce its normalised cash burn. The cost reductions include a reduction in office lease costs, a reduction in operating expenses (including software licensing costs), immediate headcount cost reductions and limited redundancies of development and sales resources.

The Company is now focussed on revenue growth to bridge the remaining gap to cash flow break-even and on to profitable growth. To this end the Company has identified a number of key commercial initiatives which it is pursuing in markets across the world. These include:

  • The Company has a long-standing relationship with the Interpublic Group ( IPG ) in the United States which has seen the development of custom marketplaces for their Orion barter trading division as well as specific advertiser verticals, notably for the Health & Wellness sector.

  • In the United Kingdom the Company has developed a custom marketplace for GroupM, the largest buyers of media in that market. Activation continues to grow with a current focus on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion trading with minority owned publishers.

  • In 2022 the Company launched its marketplace in the German market. The Company believes that the dynamics of this market, including privacy regulation and publisher consolidation, make it highly attractive for the Adslot Media platform. Trading commitments have been received with 1 agency group and indications of pilot activity from a further 2 agency groups.

  • On 1 March 2023, the Company announced that it had signed a Marketing Alliance term sheet with SintecMedia, NYC, Inc. ( Operative ), a leading US technology provider of order management software for media publishers. Under the term sheet, Operative will market and explore possibilities to offer Adslot’s direct trading capabilities to its publisher customers, encompassing both digital and traditional television media.

  • In 2022 the Company successfully launched an integrated offering between its Symphony and Adslot Media products in the Australian market. A majority of large publishers in the Australian market are now active in this marketplace and it has become a strong source of recurring trading activity.

5. Ke risks y

This section includes details of the key risks attaching to an investment in Shares. These risks may affect the future strategy, operating and financial performance of the Company and the value of the Shares and Options. It does not purport to list every risk that may be associated with an investment in Shares now or in the future, and the occurrence or consequences of some of the risks described in this section are partially or completely outside the control of the Company, its Directors and senior management team. The risks are not set out in any particular order in this section.

The selection of risks has been based on an assessment of a combination of the probability of the risk occurring and impact of the risk if it did occur. The assessment is based on the knowledge of the Directors as at the date of this Prospectus, but there is no guarantee or assurance that the importance of different risks will not change or other risks will not emerge.

Before applying for New Shares and New Options, you should satisfy yourself that you have a sufficient understanding of these matters and should consider whether New Shares and New Options are a suitable investment for you, having regard to your own investment objectives, financial circumstances and taxation position. If you do not understand any part of this Prospectus or are in any doubt as to whether to invest in New Shares and New Options, it is recommended that you seek professional guidance from your broker, legal, financial or other professional adviser before deciding whether to invest.

All potential investors should be aware that this is not an exhaustive list of the risks associated with an investment in the Company and should be considered in conjunction with other information disclosed in this Prospectus. There can be no guarantee that the Company will achieve its stated objectives or that any forward looking statements or forecasts contained in this Prospectus will be realised or otherwise eventuate.

5.1. Specific risks

(a) 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.

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.

(b) 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.

(c) Adslot operates 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’ in-house 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 or

21

lower their product pricing, and new competitors could develop products which compete with Adslot products.

(d) Loss-making operations

The Company continues to incur net losses. The Company is implementing various cost reduction and revenue building strategies that are designed to enable the Company to become profitable over time.

(e) Reliance on Symphony Software and Adslot Media trading platform and failure to adequately maintain and develop them

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.

(f) 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.

(g)

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

(h) 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.

(i) 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.

22

(j) 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.

(k) 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.

(l) 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.

5.2. 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.

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.

(a) 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.

(b) Dilution

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

(c) 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.

23

(d) 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.

(e)

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.

(f)

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 non-cash item.

(g)

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.

(h) Change in accounting policy

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

(i) 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.

(j)

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.
