4. OVERVIEW OF THE ENTITLEMENT OFFER
4.1 Summary
The Entitlement Offer is a pro rata offer of approximately 141,961,932 New Shares at $0.045 per New Share to raise up to approximately $6.4 million before costs and expenses. The Entitlement Offer is not underwritten.
Eligible Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for 1 New Shares for every 3 Shares held by them at 7:00pm (Melbourne Time) on the Record Date (30 September 2021).
The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable, which means that to the extent that any entitlement under the Entitlement Offer is not taken up by any Eligible Shareholder prior to the Closing Date, the entitlement will lapse.
The choices available to Eligible Shareholders in respect of the Entitlement Offer are described in Section 2.
The Entitlement Offer is currently scheduled to close at 5:00pm (Melbourne Time) on 21 October 2021.
7
4.2 Eligible Shareholders
Unless the Company otherwise determines, the Entitlement Offer is being made to those Shareholders who:
-
a) are registered as a holder of FFT’s Shares as at the Record Date;
-
b) have a registered address in Australia and New Zealand; and
-
c) are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Entitlement Offer.
FFT is of the view that it is unreasonable to make an offer under the Entitlement Offer to Shareholders outside of the above jurisdictions having regard to:
-
a) the number of Shareholders outside of those jurisdictions as a proportion of total Shareholders in FFT;
-
b) the number and value of the New Shares that would have been offered to those Shareholders outside of those jurisdictions; and
-
c) the cost of complying with the legal requirements and requirements of regulatory authorities in the overseas jurisdictions.
4.3 What is the entitlement of an Eligible Shareholder?
The number of New Shares to which you are entitled under the Entitlement Offer is shown in the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form which accompanies this Offer Booklet. In calculating each Eligible Shareholder’s entitlement, fractional entitlements to New Shares have been rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares. Eligible Shareholders can subscribe for all, or part, of their pro rata entitlement under the Entitlement Offer.
Detailed instructions on how to accept all, or part of, your pro rata entitlement are set out in Section 2.
Please note that if you choose not to take up your pro rata entitlement, your percentage shareholding in FFT will be diluted to the extent that the Entitlement Offer is taken up by other persons.
4.4 Top-up Facility
Eligible Shareholders may, in addition to taking up their entitlements in full, apply for additional New Shares ( Additional Shares ) in excess of their entitlement ( TopUp Facility ). Additional Shares will only be available where there is a shortfall between applications received from Eligible Shareholders and the number of New Shares proposed to be issued under the Entitlement Offer ( Shortfall ). Additional Shares will be issued at the Issue Price of $0.045 per New Share.
FFT proposes to adopt the following allocation policy for allocating Shortfall:
- a) If there is a Shortfall, each Eligible Shareholder who has applied for Additional Shares through the Top-Up Facility will be entitled to be allocated their prorata share of the Shortfall having regard to their holdings at the Record Date (if an Eligible Shareholder has made an application for Additional Shares for an amount less than the amount of Additional Shares that the Eligible Shareholder would otherwise be allocated under this process, the Eligible
8
Shareholder will be allocated the amount applied for).
-
b) The allocation process described above will be repeated in relation to any remaining Shortfall and any subsequent Shortfall, until either all New Shares proposed to be issued have been allocated or all Shortfall applications have been satisfied in full.
-
c) If any Shortfall remains following the above allocation process, the Directors have reserved the right to place any Shortfall in their discretion within 3 months of close of the Entitlement Offer.
For avoidance of doubt, the relevant interest limits in the Corporations Act apply to the acquisition of Additional Shares through the Top-Up Facility. No Additional Shares will be issued to related parties of the Company.
Accordingly, Eligible Shareholders who apply for Additional Shares may be allocated a lesser number of Additional Shares than applied for in which case excess application money will be refunded without interest. If you wish to subscribe for Additional Shares in addition to your Entitlement then you should nominate the maximum number of Additional Shares you wish to subscribe for on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form and make corresponding payment for your full entitlement plus the Additional Shares (at $0.045 per Additional Share).
4.5 No Rights trading
The rights to New Shares under the Offer are non-renounceable. Accordingly, there will be no trading of rights on the ASX and you may not dispose of your rights to subscribe for New Shares under the Offer to any other party. If you do not take up your Entitlement to New Shares under the Offer by the Closing Date, the Offer to you will lapse.
4.6 No underwriting
The Entitlement Offer is not underwritten. FFT has agreed to pay Hennessey Capital Partners Pty Ltd ( Lead Manager ) a fee of 5% (plus GST if applicable) payable on the proceeds raised by the Lead Manager under the Entitlement Offer and a fee of 2% (plus GST if applicable) on the proceeds raised from investors under the Entitlement Offer introduced by the Company.
4.7 Issue of New Shares
FFT currently expects that New Shares will be issued on 27 October 2021. The issue of New Shares will only be made after permission for their quotation on ASX has been obtained. The fact that New Shares have been admitted to quotation on ASX is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of FFT or the New Shares.
4.8 Ranking of New Shares
When issued, the New Shares will be fully paid and will rank equally with existing Shares.
9
4.9 Withdrawal of the Entitlement Offer
FFT reserves the right to withdraw all or part of the Entitlement Offer, and this Offer Booklet, at any time, subject to applicable laws. In that case, FFT will refund application monies in relation to New Shares not already issued in accordance with the Corporations Act and without payment of interest.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree that any application monies paid by you to FFT will not entitle you to receive any interest and that any interest earned in respect of application monies will belong to FFT.
4.10 No financial product advice
In deciding whether to take up some or all of your entitlements under the Entitlement Offer, you should read this Offer Booklet carefully and, in its entirety, and have regard to your own investment parameters, and if required, obtain independent professional investment advice, before deciding to invest in FFT.
4.11 Purpose and use of funds
The Company intends to apply the funds raised under the Offer as follows:
| Items of Expenditure | $ | % |
|---|---|---|
| Asset Vision /EagleSoft Integration | $2,000,000 | 31.3% |
| Sales and Marketing | $1,500,000 | 23.4% |
| Working capital | $2,568,873 | 58.5% |
| Fees in relation to the offer | $319,414 | 5.0% |
| Total | $6,388,287 | 100% |
Where an amount greater than the minimum subscription is received, but less than the full subscription, the additional amounts will go firstly to paying any additional expenses of the offer and then to working capital and then to the repayment of net debt as appropriate.
The above table is a statement of the Board’s current intentions as at the date of this Offer Document. However, Shareholders should note that, as with any budget, the allocation of funds set out in the above table may change depending on a number of factors, including the outcome of operational and development activities, regulatory developments, market and general economic conditions and environmental factors. In light of this, the Board reserves the right to alter the way the funds are applied.
10
4.12 Financial impact
The proceeds from the Entitlement Offer, before allowing for costs and expenses, will amount to up to $6,388,287 (assuming the Entitlement Offer is fully subscribed).
4.13 Effect on Capital Structure
The effect of the Offer on the capital structure of FFT, assuming all Entitlements are accepted, is set out below.
| Subscription | |
|---|---|
| Shares | Number |
| Shares currently on issue | 425,885,795 |
| New Shares offered pursuant to the Offer1 | 141,961,932 |
| Total Shares on issue after completion of the Offer1 | 567,847,727 |
1This number may vary due to rounding of Entitlements and may increase as a result of the rounding up of New Shares offered under the Offer.
4.14 Key risks
FFT’s activities are subject to a number of risks which may impact future financial performance and the market price at which New Shares trade. Some of these are outside FFT’s control. Therefore, investors who acquire New Shares may be exposed to a number of risks. Broadly, these risks can be classified as risks that are general to investing in the share market and risks specific to an investment in Shares and FFT’s underlying business.

6. FURTHER INFORMATION
6.1 Taxation
Taxation implications of participating in the Entitlement Offer will vary depending on the particular circumstances of individual Eligible Shareholders. Eligible Shareholders are advised to obtain their own professional taxation advice before making a decision in relation to the Entitlement Offer.
6.2 This Offer Booklet is not a prospectus
The Entitlement Offer is being conducted in accordance with Section 708AA of the Corporations Act (as modified by ASIC Instrument 2016/84). In general terms, Section 708AA relates to rights issues by certain companies that do not require the preparation of a prospectus or other disclosure document. Accordingly, the level of disclosure in this Offer Booklet is less than the level of disclosure required in a prospectus.
As a result, in deciding whether or not to accept the Entitlement Offer, you should rely on your own knowledge of FFT, refer to disclosures made by FFT to the ASX (which are available for inspection on the ASX website www.asx.com.au and on the Company’s website at www.futurefirsttech.io) and seek the advice of your professional adviser.
6.3 Holding Statements and trading of New Shares
Security holders will be provided with a holding statement, which will set out the number of Shares allotted to them under this Entitlement Offer. It is your responsibility to determine your holding of New Shares before trading to avoid the risk of selling New Shares you do not own. To the maximum extent permitted by law, FFT disclaims any liability to persons who trade New Shares before they receive their holding statements, whether on the basis of confirmation of the allocation provided by FFT or the Share Registry or otherwise, or who otherwise trade or purport to trade New Shares in error or which they do not hold or are not entitled to.
6.4 Treatment of excluded shareholders
This Offer Booklet and the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form are being sent only to shareholders with registered addresses in Australia and New Zealand and will not be sent to and does not constitute an offer in any other jurisdiction. The Company is of the view that it is unreasonable to extend the offer to other shareholders having regard to their small number and the value of shares which would be offered to them and the cost of complying with the legal
15
requirements and requirements of the regulatory authorities in those overseas jurisdictions.
6.5 Foreign shareholders
a) General restrictions
This Offer Booklet and the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form do not constitute an offer in any place in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer. The distribution of this Offer Booklet in jurisdictions outside Australia and New Zealand may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Offer Booklet outside the above jurisdictions should observe any such restrictions. Any failure to comply with such restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws. No action has been taken to register or qualify the New Shares or to otherwise permit an offering of New Shares outside Australia.
Return of the Entitlement and Acceptance Form or your BPAY® payment will be taken by FFT as a representation by you that there has been no breach of any such laws.
b) New Zealand
The New Shares are not being offered to the public within New Zealand other than to existing shareholders of the Company with registered addresses in New Zealand to whom the offer of these securities is being made in reliance on the transitional provisions of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (New Zealand) and the Securities Act (Overseas Companies) Exemption Notice 2013 (New Zealand).
This 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.
6.6 Custodians and nominees
The Entitlement Offer is being made to all Eligible Shareholders. The Company is not required to determine whether or not any Eligible Shareholder is acting as a nominee, trustee or custodian or the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of Shares. Where any registered holder that qualifies as an Eligible Shareholder is acting as a nominee for a foreign person, that registered holder, in dealing with its beneficiary, will need to assess whether indirect participation by the beneficiary in the Entitlement Offer is compatible with applicable foreign laws.
6.7 Privacy
By submitting an Entitlement and Acceptance Form, you will be providing personal information to FFT (directly or through the Share Registry). FFT collects, holds and will use that information to assess and process your application, administer your shareholding in FFT and to provide related services to you. FFT may disclose your personal information for purposes related to your shareholding in FFT, including to the Share Registry, FFT’s related bodies corporate, agents, contractors and third
16
party service providers, including mailing houses and professional advisers, and to the ASX and regulatory bodies. You can obtain access to personal information that FFT holds about you. To make a request for access to your personal information held by (or on behalf of) FFT, please contact FFT through the Share Registry.
