Cleansing Notice
Adslot Ltd (ASX: ADS) (“ Adslot ” or the “ Company ”) hereby provides notice under section 708A(12C)(e) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Corporations Act ) as amended by ASIC Corporations (Sale Offers: Securities Issued on Conversion of Convertible Notes) Instrument 2016/82 ( Cleansing Notice ).
The Company confirms that:
-
a) the securities described below will be issued without disclosure to investors under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act; and
-
b) this Cleansing Notice has been given in accordance with section 708A(12C)(e) of the Corporations Act.
The issue of this Cleansing Notice enables the fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ( Shares ) issued upon the conversion of the secured convertible notes issued by the Company on the terms described below ( Convertible Notes ) to be on-sold to retail investors without further disclosure.
This Cleansing Notice is important and should be read in its entirety.
1. Background
As announced to ASX on 7 August 2025, Adslot is undertaking a capital raise totalling $989,000 through the issue of $739,000 worth of secured Convertible Notes and $250,000 worth of Shares, in both cases (subject to shareholder approval being obtained) with attaching options ( Attaching Options ).
The key terms of the capital raise were announced to the market on 7 August 2025 and include the issue of:
-
a) 739 Convertible Notes, each having a face value of $1,000.00, to sophisticated or professional investors, with a 30 month maturity date, paying an annual interest rate of 11% and having a conversion price of $0.001 per conversion share, issued under the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 capacity (and accordingly, shareholder approval is not required); and
-
b) subject to shareholder approval, 246,333,087 Attaching Options, with a 30 month maturity date and an exercise price of $0.001 per Attaching Option.
The obligations of the Company under the Convertible Notes are secured by way of a general security deed over all of the assets and undertaking of the Company ( General Security Deed ), with the security interest granted for the benefit of holders of the Convertible Notes being held by a third party security trustee, Specialised Investment and Lending Corporation Limited ( SILC ) ( Security Interest).
The trustee of a trust ( Barlow Trust ) controlled by Andrew Barlow and David Barlow, who respectively also separately control other existing shareholder entities in the Company, has subscribed for $374,000 worth of the Convertible Notes. Together (as associated entities) they are categorized as a substantial (10%+) holder of Shares, and as such Listing Rule 10.1 is applicable to any security interest which may be granted to or on behalf of the Barlow Trust or its associates. As a result, the Convertible Notes issued
