Letter from the Chair

12 June 2024

Dear MCI Holder

I am writing to advise you of Australian Unity’s intention to raise capital by way of a combination of an Entitlement Offer to existing Australian Unity MCI Holders and a wholesale Placement.

On behalf of the Board, I am very pleased to be able to offer you an opportunity to participate in this Entitlement Offer.

The proceeds of the Entitlement Offer will form part of Australian Unity’s ongoing capital management strategy. They are intended to be used to enhance resilience and provide balance sheet flexibility to support Australian Unity’s activities that enable real wellbeing for our members, customers and community, in the areas of Health, Wealth and Care. For example, proceeds may be used to repay debt facilities, which were utilised to fund the recent acquisition of the myHomecare Group.

As you may know, on the two occasions when Australian Unity previously issued MCIs—December 2020 and November 2021—market interest rates in Australia were at historic lows. Since then, interest rates have risen markedly.

Because the Australian Unity MCI has features like those of a fixed interest security, the traded capital value of those MCIs has fallen as market interest rates have risen.

Notwithstanding the understandable behaviour of the trading price of MCIs in the context of rising interest rates, the Board is very aware that most MCI Holders have overall experienced capital value declines, reflected in the trading price.

The Board is pleased to offer MCI Holders a pro rata 1 for 3, discounted Entitlement Offer, on a nonrenounceable basis at the Offer Price of $72.50, an 11.60 percent discount to the closing price of MCIs on 31 May 2024, before the announcement of the Entitlement Offer and Placement.

The issue of new MCIs on the terms outlined in this Offer Booklet would represent a grossed-up running yield of 9.85 percent on the Offer Price[2] .

Eligible MCI Holders who take up their full entitlement may also apply for Additional New MCIs in excess of their entitlement under the Oversubscription Facility. Additional MCIs will only be available under the Oversubscription Facility to the extent that there is any shortfall. The allocation of Additional MCIs will be subject to the availability of Additional MCIs and any scale-back will be in Australian Unity’s absolute discretion having regard to the pro rata Entitlement of Eligible MCI Holders who apply for Additional MCIs.

The Board thanks you for your continued support of Australian Unity and commends this Offer Booklet to you. It sets out this opportunity for you in more detail and covers the key risks of investments in these securities.

Yours faithfully

Offer Booklet

Overview of the Entitlement Offer

You are invited to participate in the Entitlement Offer which will comprise a 1 for 3 pro rata nonrenounceable entitlement offer of new MCIs at an Offer Price of $72.50 per New MCI to raise gross proceeds of up to approximately $83 million. Australian Unity MCIs currently trade on the ASX under the code “AYUPA”.

Details of the Entitlement Offer and Placement

The Entitlement Offer is being conducted in conjunction with Placement of New MCIs to wholesale investors as announced on Monday 3 June 2024. The Offer Price is the same as the offer price for New MCIs under the Placement.

Neither the Placement nor the Entitlement Offer are underwritten.

As announced on Monday 3 June 2024, Australian Unity aims to raise approximately $75 million through the Entitlement Offer and Placement (together, the Equity Raising), with the ability to raise more or less. The non-underwritten Entitlement Offer, with a theoretical maximum of approximately $83 million, has an uncertain outcome. Australian Unity targeted to raise $50 million under the Placement to reduce the risk of raising substantially less than $75 million through the Equity Raising.

On Tuesday 4 June 2024, Australian Unity announced that the Placement was substantially oversubscribed. Australian Unity therefore determined to increase the targeted Placement amount of $50 million to $70 million.

Under the Entitlement Offer, Eligible MCI Holders (as defined in Section 5.1) are being offered the opportunity to subscribe for 1 New MCI for every 3 existing MCI held on the Record Date of 7.00pm (AEST) on Thursday 6 June 2024.

As noted above, Eligible MCI Holders who take up their full Entitlement may also apply for Additional MCIs in excess of their Entitlement under the Oversubscription Facility.

Australian Unity reserves the right to place any New MCIs that are not subscribed for under the Entitlement Offer, including under the Oversubscription Facility, with wholesale investors at the Offer Price. To the extent any New MCIs are not subscribed for under the Entitlement Offer (including the Oversubscription Facility), Australian Unity may decide to acquire MCIs to fulfil its obligations under its long term variable compensation award scheme for employees.

Key features and risks of MCIs[3]

Key features of the Australian Unity MCIs include:

  • Perpetual, fully paid mutual capital instruments;

  • Face Value of $100.00;

  • Discretionary, non-cumulative, semi-annual dividends, expected to be fully franked; and

  • Dividend rate of 5.00 percent per annum, based on the Offer Price of $72.50, this equates to a cash running yield (assuming discretionary dividends are paid in full) of 6.90 percent per annum and a grossed-up running yield of 9.85 percent per annum (that is, including franking)[4] .

Given the unique nature of MCIs, it is important that investors understand and consider carefully the key risks associated with an investment of this type. These include, but are not limited to:

  • Permanent capital: Australian Unity MCIs are perpetual shares with no rights for holders to require repurchase or redemption by Australian Unity.

  • Market price volatility : Due to the perpetual nature of Australian Unity MCIs, the market price is likely to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than would be the case for a comparable investment of fixed term.

  • Discretionary, non-cumulative Dividends : Dividends on Australian Unity MCIs are discretionary and non-cumulative. This means that there is no guarantee that Australian Unity MCIs will provide investors with a regular return.

3 Defined terms have the meanings per the Terms of Australian Unity MCIs (refer Section 8 Appendix).

4 Gross rate is based upon Australian Unity’s current corporate tax rate of 30 per cent and assumes that the Dividends paid on Australian Unity MCIs are fully franked and that investors are able to fully benefit from attaching imputation credits. The gross rate will change if Australian Unity’s corporate tax rate changes in the future.

  • Voting : Reflecting Australian Unity’s status as a mutual entity, the Constitution enshrines a limit of one vote per member for any member of Australian Unity.

Accompanying this Offer Booklet is your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form which contains details of your Entitlement.

The Entitlement Offer closes at 5.00pm (AEST) on Friday 21 June 2024. To participate, you need to ensure that you have completed your Application by paying the Offer Price multiplied by the number of New MCIs you are applying for by BPAY before this time in the manner described in this Offer Booklet.

Please carefully read this Offer Booklet in its entirety before you invest and consult your stockbroker, solicitor, accountant or other professional adviser before making your investment decision. In particular, you should read and consider the “Key risks” section of the Investor Presentation included in Section 4 of this Offer Booklet which contains a summary of some of the key risks associated with an investment in Australian Unity.

How to apply

Overview

Australian Unity may raise up to approximately $83 million under the Entitlement Offer. The Placement, which is being undertaken in conjunction with the Entitlement Offer, raised approximately $70 million (see further Australian Unity’s ASX announcement dated 4 June 2024).

Australian Unity is offering Eligible MCI Holders the opportunity to subscribe for 1 New MCI for every 3 Existing MCIs held on the Record Date. The Offer Price per New MCI is $72.50.

The Entitlement Offer is an offer under which Eligible MCI Holders have access to this Offer Booklet, together with a personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form (also available online via www.australianunity.com.au/mci2024), and are being invited to take up all or part of their Entitlements. In addition, Eligible MCI Holders who take up their full Entitlements may also participate in the Oversubscription Facility by applying for Additional MCIs in excess of their Entitlements, at the Offer Price.

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable.

The Entitlement Offer is managed by the Joint Lead Managers. The Entitlement Offer is not underwritten. Further details on the Entitlement Offer are set out below.

Please refer to the ASX Announcements and the Investor Presentation set out in Section 4 for information on the purpose of the Entitlement Offer and Placement, the application of the proceeds of the Entitlement Offer and Placement and for information on Australian Unity's business, performance and strategy. You should also consider other publicly available information about Australian Unity, including information available at www.asx.com.au and www.australianunity.com.au.

2.2

Placement

On 3 June 2024, Australian Unity announced a Placement at the Offer Price of $72.50 per New MCI. The Placement raised approximately $70 million and settlement of the Placement is expected to occur on Thursday 27 June 2024. Please see Australian Unity’s ASX announcement dated 4 June 2024 for further information about the Placement. New MCIs to be issued under the Placement are expected to be issued on Friday 28 June 2024 and commence trading on the ASX on Monday 1 July 2024.

Australian Unity reserves the right to place any New MCIs that are not subscribed for under the Entitlement Offer, including under the Oversubscription Facility, with wholesale investors at the Offer Price. To the extent any New MCIs are not subscribed for under the Entitlement Offer (including the Oversubscription Facility), Australian Unity may decide to acquire MCIs to fulfil its obligations under its long term variable compensation award scheme for employees.

2.3

Entitlement Offer

Under the Entitlement Offer, Eligible MCI Holders are invited to apply for 1 New MCI for every 3 Existing MCIs held as at the Record Date at the Offer Price of $72.50 per New MCI.

The Offer Price under the Entitlement Offer is the same as for the Placement.

The Entitlement Offer opens on Wednesday 12 June 2024 and will close at 5.00pm (AEST) on Friday 21 June 2024.

2.4

Your Entitlements

Your Entitlement is set out on the accompanying personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and has been calculated as 1 New MCI for every 3 Existing MCIs you held as at the Record Date

Offer Booklet

11

(with fractional entitlements rounded up, if necessary, to the nearest whole number of New MCIs).

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

You can also view details of your Entitlements online at www.australianunity.com.au/mci2024.

New MCIs issued under the Entitlement Offer will be fully paid and rank equally in all respects with Existing MCIs.

Eligible MCI Holders should be aware that an investment in Australian Unity involves risks. The key risks identified by Australian Unity are set out in Appendix B from page 27 of the Investor Presentation (enclosed in Section 4).

2.5 Consider the Entitlement Offer carefully in light of your particular investment objectives and circumstances

The Entitlement Offer is being made pursuant to provisions of the Corporations Act which allow entitlement offers to be made without a prospectus, provided certain conditions are satisfied. This Offer Booklet does not contain all of the information which may be required in order to make an informed decision regarding an application for New MCIs offered under the Entitlement Offer. As a result, it is important for you to read carefully and understand the information on Australian Unity and the Entitlement Offer made publicly available, prior to deciding whether to take up all or part of your Entitlements or do nothing in respect of your Entitlements. In particular, please refer to this Offer Booklet and other announcements by Australian Unity made available at www.asx.com.au (including announcements which may be made by Australian Unity after publication of this Offer Booklet).

Please consult with your stockbroker, accountant or other professional adviser if you have any queries or are uncertain about any aspect of the Entitlement Offer. You should also refer to Appendix B: ‘Key Risks’ of the Australian Unity Investor Presentation included in Section 4 of this Offer Booklet.

2.6

Options available to you

If you are an Eligible MCI Holder, you may take any of the following actions. Each of these options may have a materially different outcome on any value you receive in respect of your Entitlements.

  1. Take up all or part of your Entitlements (see Section 2.7); or

  2. Take up all of your Entitlements and apply for Additional MCIs (see Section 2.8); or

  3. Do nothing and let your Entitlements lapse (see Section 2.9).

Australian Unity reserves the right to reject any Application that is received after the Closing Date.

The Closing Date for acceptance of the Entitlement Offer is 5.00pm (AEST) on Friday 21 June 2024 (however, that date may be varied by Australian Unity, in accordance with the Listing Rules and the Offer Management Agreement).

2.7

Option 1: If you wish to take up all or part of your Entitlements

If you wish to take up all or part of your Entitlements, please pay your Application Monies via BPAY by following the instructions set out on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Payment is due by no later than 5.00pm (AEST) on 21 June 2024. If you are unable to pay by BPAY, please refer to Section 3.2 below.

Offer Booklet

12

If you take up and pay for all or part of your Entitlements before the close of the Entitlement Offer, it is expected that you will be issued New MCIs on Friday 28 June 2024. Australian Unity’s decision on the number of New MCIs to be issued to you will be final.

If you only take up part of your Entitlements, those Entitlements not taken up will lapse and you will not receive any payment or value for them. You will also not be entitled to apply for Additional MCIs. If you do not take up your Entitlements in full, your MCI holding in Australian Unity will be diluted as a result of the Entitlement Offer and Placement.

Australian Unity also reserves the right (in its absolute discretion) to reduce the number of New MCIs issued to Eligible MCI Holders, or persons claiming to be Eligible MCI Holders, if Australian Unity believes their claims to be overstated or if they or their nominees fail to provide information to substantiate their claims to Australian Unity’s satisfaction (see Section 5.4).

2.8 Option 2: If you wish to take up all of your Entitlements and apply for Additional MCIs

Eligible MCI Holders who apply to take up all of their Entitlements are able to apply for New MCIs in excess of their Entitlements as set out in their personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

If you wish to take up all of your Entitlements and apply for Additional MCIs, please pay your Application Monies (for your full Entitlement and the amount you wish to subscribe for Additional MCIs) via BPAY by following the instructions set out on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Any Application Monies received for more than your full Entitlement of New MCIs will be treated as applying for as many Additional MCIs as it will pay for in full. Payment is due by no later than 5.00pm (AEST) on 21 June 2024. If you are unable to pay by BPAY, please refer to Section 3.2 below.

If you apply to take up all of your Entitlement, you may also apply for Additional MCIs under the Oversubscription Facility. Any Application Monies received for more than your full Entitlement of New MCIs will be treated as applying for as many Additional MCIs as it will pay for in full.

If you take up and pay for all of your Entitlements plus Additional MCIs before the close of the Entitlement Offer, it is expected that you will be issued New MCIs on Friday 28 June 2024. Australian Unity’s decision on the number of New MCIs to be issued to you will be final.

Australian Unity also reserves the right (in its absolute discretion) to reduce the number of New MCIs issued to Eligible MCI Holders, or persons claiming to be Eligible MCI Holders, if Australian Unity believes their claims to be overstated or if they or their nominees fail to provide information to substantiate their claims to Australian Unity’s satisfaction (see Section 5.4).

Any New MCIs referable to Entitlements not taken up by the Closing Date may be made available to those Eligible MCI Holders who took up their full Entitlement and applied for Additional MCIs. Additional MCIs will only be allocated to Eligible MCI Holders if available and subject to the Corporations Act, Listing Rules and other applicable laws and regulations. If Eligible MCI Holders apply for more Additional MCIs than available, Australian Unity will scale back applications for Additional MCIs in its absolute discretion having regard to the pro rata Entitlement of Eligible MCI Holders who apply for Additional MCIs. There is no assurance that you will be allocated any Additional MCIs.

2.9 Option 3: Do nothing and let your Entitlements lapse

If you do nothing, you will not be allocated New MCIs and your Entitlements will lapse. Your entitlement to participate in the Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable, which means your Entitlements are non-transferable and cannot be sold or traded on ASX or any other exchange, nor can they be privately transferred.

Any New MCIs referable to Entitlements that you do not take up will be offered to Eligible MCI Holders who apply for Additional MCIs in excess of their Entitlements.

By allowing your Entitlement to lapse, you will forgo any exposure to increases or decreases in the value of the New MCIs had you taken up your Entitlement and you will not receive any value

Offer Booklet

13

for your Entitlement. Your interest in Australian Unity will also be diluted to the extent that New MCIs are issued under the Entitlement Offer and Placement.

Payment

Payment should be made using BPAY.

Cash, cheque and money order payments will not be accepted. Receipts for payment will not be issued.

Australian Unity will treat you as applying for as many New MCIs as your payment will pay for in full up to your Entitlement, and, in respect of any excess amount, applying for as many Additional MCIs as it will pay for in full.

Any Application Monies received for more than your final allocation of New MCIs will be refunded 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. Refund amounts, if any, will be paid in Australian dollars. You will be paid either by direct credit to the nominated bank account as noted on the register as at the Closing Date or by cheque sent by ordinary post to your address as recorded on the register (the registered address of the first-named in the case of joint holders). If you wish to advise or change your banking instructions with the Registry you may do so by going to www.linkmarketservices.com.au and updating your banking instructions by 5.00pm (AEST) on 21 June 2024.

3.1

Payment by BPAY

For payment by BPAY, please follow the instructions on the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form or on the Offer Website (www.australianunity.com.au/mci2024). 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 or accessible on the Offer Website. If you have multiple holdings and consequently receive more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, when taking up your Entitlements in respect of one of those holdings only use the CRN specific to 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 by paying 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 3.3;

  • 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 MCIs which is covered in full by your Application Monies; and

  • c) if you pay more than what is required to subscribe for your full Entitlement, you will be taken to have applied for Additional MCIs (if any), to the extent of the excess.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your BPAY payment is received by the Registry by no later than 5.00pm (AEST) on 21 June 2024. 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.

3.2

If you are unable to pay by BPAY

If you are unable to pay by BPAY, you can contact the Australian Unity Offer Information Line on 1800 500 095 between 8.30am and 5.30pm (AEST) on Monday to Friday to determine if there is another means available to make your payment.

Australian Unity strongly encourages payments by BPAY if possible.

Offer Booklet

Entitlement and Acceptance Forms and Application Monies will not be accepted at Australian Unity’s registered or corporate offices, or other offices of the Registry.

3.3 Entitlement and Acceptance Form is binding

A payment made through BPAY or a completed and lodged Entitlement and Acceptance Form together with the payment of requisite Application Monies constitutes a binding offer to acquire New MCIs on the terms and conditions set out in this Offer Booklet and, once lodged or paid, cannot be withdrawn. If the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is not completed correctly it may still be treated as a valid Application for New MCIs. Australian Unity’s decision whether to treat an Application as valid or whether to reject it for being invalid is final.

3.4

Brokerage

No brokerage fee is payable by Eligible MCI Holders who accept their Entitlements.

3.5

Notice to nominees and custodians

The Entitlement Offer is being made to all Eligible MCI Holders. Nominees with registered addresses in the eligible jurisdictions, irrespective of whether they participate under the Entitlement Offer, may also be able to participate in the Entitlement Offer in respect of some or all of the beneficiaries on whose behalf they hold Existing MCIs, provided that the applicable beneficiary would satisfy the criteria for an Eligible MCI Holder.

Nominees and custodians who hold MCIs as nominees or custodians will have received, or will shortly receive, a letter from Australian Unity. Nominees and custodians should carefully consider the contents of that letter and note in particular that the Entitlement Offer is not available to:

  • (a) beneficiaries on whose behalf they hold Existing MCIs who would not satisfy the criteria for an Eligible MCI Holder; or

  • (b) MCI Holders who are not eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Entitlement Offer.

In particular, persons acting as nominees or custodians for other persons may not take up Entitlements on behalf of, or send this Offer Booklet (or any part of it) or any other documents relating to the Entitlement Offer to, any person in the United States. Persons in the United States and persons acting for the account or benefit of persons in the United States will not be able to take up or exercise Entitlements and may receive no value for any such Entitlements held.

Australian Unity is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder is acting as a nominee or the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of MCIs or Entitlements. Where any holder is acting as a nominee for a foreign person, that 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. Australian Unity is not able to advise on foreign laws.

3.6

Withdrawal of the Entitlement Offer

Subject to applicable law, Australian Unity reserves the right to withdraw the Entitlement Offer at any time before the issue of New MCIs, in which case Australian Unity will refund any Application Monies already received in accordance with the Corporations Act and will do so without interest being payable to Applicants.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree that any Application Monies paid by you to Australian Unity will not entitle you to receive any interest, and that any interest earned in respect of Application Monies will belong to Australian Unity.

Trading update, outlook and equity raising

Today Australian Unity Limited (Australian Unity) has announced a nonunderwritten 1 for 3 pro rata non-renounceable entitlement offer of mutual capital instruments (MCIs) (Entitlement Offer) and accompanying non-underwritten placement to wholesale investors (Placement) (together, the Equity Raising). The proceeds from the Equity Raising will form part of Australian Unity’s ongoing capital management strategy and are intended to be used to enhance resilience and provide balance sheet flexibility to support Australian Unity’s core vision to enable real wellbeing for our members, customers and community through our portfolio of commercial, sustainable businesses. To this end, proceeds may be used to repay debt facilities that were utilised to fund the recent acquisition of myHomecare Group as well as transaction costs.

Australian Unity has lodged an investor presentation (Investor Presentation) today which provides a trading update and outlook statement. Please refer to the Investor Presentation for further information.

Equity Raising

The Entitlement Offer is being conducted in conjunction with the Placement. Australian Unity aims to raise approximately $75.0 million through the Equity Raising, with the ability to raise more or less.[1]

The offer price for the Entitlement Offer and Placement is the same, being $72.50 per new MCI (New MCI) (Offer Price). The Offer Price of $72.50 per New MCI represents an approximate 11.60 percent discount to the closing price of $82.00 on Friday, 31 May 2024.

At the Offer Price (assuming discretionary Dividends are paid in full), the cash running yield will be 6.90 percent per annum and the grossed-up running yield will be 9.85 percent per annum[2] for New MCIs.

1 The non-underwritten Entitlement Offer, with a theoretical maximum of $83.0 million, has an uncertain outcome. The Placement is intended to reduce the risk of raising substantially less than $75.0 million through the Equity Raising.

2 Gross rate is based upon Australian Unity’s current corporate tax rate of 30 percent and assumes that the Dividends paid on Australian Unity MCIs are fully franked and that investors are able to fully benefit from attaching imputation credits. The gross rate will change if Australian Unity’s corporate tax rate changes in the future.

The New MCIs issued under the Entitlement Offer and Placement will rank equally with existing MCIs on issue.

Placement

The Placement is non-underwritten and is targeting proceeds of approximately $50.0 million.

New MCIs issued under the Placement will not carry rights to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

Entitlement Offer

Australian Unity will undertake a non-underwritten 1 for 3 pro rata nonrenounceable entitlement offer of New MCIs under the Entitlement Offer. If all of the entitlements are taken up, the Entitlement Offer will raise approximately $83.0 million.

The Entitlement Offer is expected to open on Wednesday, 12 June 2024 and close at 5:00pm (AEST) on Friday, 21 June 2024. Further details about the Entitlement Offer will be set out in an offer booklet (Offer Booklet) which Australian Unity expects to despatch to eligible MCI holders and lodge with the ASX on Wednesday, 12 June 2024.

Eligible MCI holders with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand as at 7.00pm (AEST) on Thursday, 6 June 2024 (Record Date) will be invited to participate in the Entitlement Offer in accordance with the terms and conditions outlined in the Offer Booklet.

Eligible MCI holders are encouraged to read the Offer Booklet in its entirety and should seek financial advice if they are uncertain of whether or not to participate. Eligible MCI holders should read and consider the Investor Presentation and in particular, the key risks section of the Investor Presentation.

Eligible MCI holders can choose to take up all, part or none of their entitlement.

Eligible MCI holders who take up their full entitlement may also apply for additional New MCIs in excess of their entitlement (subject to scale back, at Australian Unity’s discretion).

The Chair, Group Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer, who are all existing MCI holders, have committed to take up their pro rata entitlements under the Entitlement Offer.

    • the release of a $71.0m Deferred Claims Liability (DCL) in FY23 which arose as a result of COVID-19

    • a strategic decision to reduce premium indexation for policyholders, as opposed to simply providing cash givebacks, in FY24

  • Material acquisition, divestment and integration related costs being incurred in FY24, without the benefit of full year acquisition earnings

    • On an annualised basis, myHomecare and IOOF acquisitions expected to generate ~$431 million in revenues and ~$39 million of Adjusted EBITDA from FY25
  • Other transformation related initiatives implemented in FY24, with net benefit realisation expected in future periods

  • Non-recurring or one-off operational costs and adjustments relating to items such as litigation, development profits and divestments

  • Earnings for Australian Unity remain exposed to the timing of execution of divestment transactions, property and investment market valuations, policy settings in the care economy and variability in risk insurance claims experience

  • The actual amount of Health Insurance net claims, including the quarterly risk equalisation, can vary from expected. This is normally within a range of +/-1% (~$6 million) of total annual net claims[3]

  • Refer to Appendix A Trading Update Supplement for further information on these items and their expected impact.

  • Adjusted EBITDA: adjusted earnings before tax, depreciation and amortisation, interest expense and investment income.

  • Under legislation, all private health insurers must participate in the Risk Equalisation Special Account in which all private health insurers share the cost of the eligible claims of members aged 55 years and over, and claims meeting the high-cost claim criteria.

Community & Social Value (CSV) Transformation to support substantial acceleration of CSV from FY25 onwards

FY24 CSV will be influenced by transformation:

  • Significant uplift in Lifelong Wellness and Strong Communities from acquisition of myHomecare which services a large number of customers

  • IOOF acquisition will increase the Economic Empowerment impact area via the onboarding of >30,000 customers

  • Further investment in HPT will increase Australian Unity’s support of Better Access to Healthcare. However, construction costs are impacting CSV benefit in FY24

  • Advice divestment has resulted in ~$140 million of CSV in FY23 not recurring going forward however, Australian Unity expects that the new owner will be able to enhance CSV outside Australian Unity

In FY24 it is expected that Home Care Services, HPT and Health Insurance will be the largest drivers of CSV

The pro forma consolidated balance shows the impact of the Offer on the 31 December 2023 balance sheet

The following adjustments have been made:

  • Acquisition of myHomecare (MHC)[3]

  • The difference between the cash acquisition payment of $161m (of which $70m is deferred) and the acquired net tangible operating assets equal to $(93)m of MHC has been allocated to goodwill in Other assets. A formal purchase price allocation exercise is still to be undertaken

  • Cash settlement of debt like items assumed as part of the transaction and transaction costs

  • Impact of the interim dividend on MCIs paid in April 2024

  • Impact of the Equity Raising from issuing MCIs of $75m net of expected transaction costs of $2m

Notes

  1. The consolidated balance sheet is based on the reviewed half year accounts for the 6 months ended 31 December 2023.

  2. The 31 December balance sheet reflects the acquisition of IOOF Ltd and its investment bonds business in October 2023 (and is subject to completion of purchase price allocation exercise).

  3. The MHC acquisition does not include the finalisation of customary net debt and working capital transaction adjustments which are yet to be determined in accordance with the sale contract.

  4. Australian Unity aims to raise approximately $75m through the Equity Raising. The nonunderwritten Entitlement Offer, with a theoretical maximum of approximately $83m, has an uncertain outcome. The Placement is intended to reduce the risk of raising substantially less than $75m through the Equity Raising.

Pro forma gearing

  • Following the Equity Raise, Australian Unity’s FY24 gearing ratio is expected to increase from 30.0 percent at 31 December 2023 to 33.4 percent on a pro forma basis adjusting for myHomecare acquisition, dividends paid and the Equity Raising

  • $102m of cash holdings and $75m of bank facilities were used to fund the initial payment for the myHomecare acquisition

  • Australian Unity Limited had $87m of available cash holdings as at 30 April 2024

  • Australian Unity Limited had undrawn bank facilities of $110m as at 30 April 2024

  • In addition to the above, there was $11m undrawn of the Herston Quarter limited recourse facility

  • Australian Unity expects to have sufficient financial flexibility and liquidity to fund its transformational business activities, and maintain resilience to external market factors

B. Key risks

==> picture [156 x 62] intentionally omitted <==

This Appendix B includes some of the key risks associated with any investment in Australian Unity. Australian Unity is subject to a variety of risk factors. Some of these are specific to its business activities, some of these are associated with Australian Unity MCIs specifically while others are of a more general nature. Individually, or in combination, these risk factors may affect the future operating and financial performance of Australian Unity, its investment returns and the value of an investment in Australian Unity MCIs.

The risks listed in this Appendix B are not an exhaustive list of risks associated with an investment in Australian Unity, either now or in the future, and this information should be considered in conjunction with all other information in this presentation. Many of the risks described below are outside the control of Australian Unity, its directors and management. There is no guarantee that Australian Unity will achieve its stated objectives or that any forward looking statements or forecasts of Australian Unity will eventuate.

This Appendix B discusses the key risks attaching to an investment in Australian Unity MCIs, which may affect the future operating and financial performance of Australian Unity and the value of Australian Unity MCIs. Before investing in Australian Unity MCIs, you should consider whether that investment is suitable for you having regard to publicly available information (including this presentation), your personal circumstances and following consultation with financial or other professional advisers. Additional risks and uncertainties that Australian Unity is unaware of, or that it currently considers to be immaterial, may also become important factors that adversely affect Australian Unity's operating and financial performance.

Business risks

Risk Risk description
Transformation agenda
Australian Unity is continuing to undertake a significant transformation process which will continue to progress through to FY26. The transformation process
involves strategic programs, investments and portfolio optimisation, including both acquisitions and divestments. The achievement of the expected benefits of the
transformation process, including acquisition and divestment activity, such as cost reductions, realisation of synergies and efficiencies and growth in sustainable
recurring cash earnings, may take longer to be realised, cost more than planned or not be realised to the extent expected. That may adversely impact revenue and
earnings in FY24, FY25 and beyond.
Availability of a skilled and
experienced workforce

Australian Unity relies on skilled and experienced employees to service members and customers. If Australian Unity is unable to access appropriately skilled
people or retain current employees, Australian Unity may experience workforce constraints that adversely impact the provision of service, growth plans and
financial performance.

Australian Unity is currently experiencing this risk in its care workforce due largely to competition for talent and changes to sector workforce dynamics and
government funding models.
Cyber security threats
Australian Unity’s businesses are reliant on technology to deliver its products and services. To provide these products and services, Australian Unity handles large
amounts of customer, member and employee data. Cyber security risk is on the rise due to increasing dependence on technology and the growing frequency,
sophistication and severity of attacks. If its systems fail to detect and prevent cyber-attacks, Australian Unity could experience unauthorised access or loss of
confidential information or business disruption as a result of system unavailability.

51

Equity raising investor presentation

B. Key risks

==> picture [156 x 62] intentionally omitted <==

Business risks (cont.)

Risk Risk description
Deteriorating economic conditions
The increasing risks associated with deteriorating economic conditions including potential recession, enduring inflation and increased operating costs, and a
tightened fiscal environment could result in restrained Government spending and impact Australian Unity’s business operations and financial performance. For
example, current inflationary pressures are leading to rising medical, construction, operational and staffing costs.

Adverse economic conditions may also impact the returns Australian Unity achieves on its investments, occupancy levels in residential aged care and sales of
residential villages and the level of credit defaults experienced in Australian Unity Bank’s loan portfolio.
Changes to government policy
Many of Australian Unity’s businesses operate in sectors that are dependent on government funding. Changes to government funding levels or structures may impact
the profitability or viability of certain businesses. Funding decisions may be volatile or unpredictable in times of political uncertainty.
Convergence of major change
The amount and timing of significant changes in the business — including changes to operating models, the integrations of acquired businesses, embedding new
technologies and processes — may create risks to successful execution of strategy and may result in employee burnout and other risks.
Adapting Australian Unity’s products,
services and technology

Australian Unity operates in markets where customer product demands are rapidly changing and preferences have been shifting to digital channels. The operation of
Australian Unity’s technology is an important part of how Australian Unity delivers services to customers. If Australian Unity is not successful in adapting its products,
services and technology to meet changing customer preferences, and deliver reliable and efficient services, it may lose customers to its competition or fail to meet
growth ambitions, which may adversely affect its financial performance.
Providing quality clinical and care
services

Australian Unity provides high-trust services such as health and aged care services in the community. Poor quality clinical services may arise from inadequate
policies and procedures, lack of training and supervision or other situational factors.

The health, clinical safety and wellbeing outcomes of customers may be impacted if clinical practices are not designed or delivered to best practice standards. A
severe event or series of events could result in mistreatment, injury or death to Australian Unity’s customers, sanctions from regulators, reduced government
funding, reputational damage and remediation costs.
Access to capital
Australian Unity is a mutual entity limited by shares and guarantee. Australian Unity is unable to issue ordinary shares to raise new capital but can raise capital via
the issuance of MCIs, although MCIs are a novel instrument and there is no established deep market. Australian Unity also relies on external debt markets for a
portion of its funding.

Changes in the economic and market conditions and increased debt serviceability could result in reduced access to capital, difficulty in raising equity or increased
costs of funding. This could negatively affect Australian Unity’s capital position and its ability to fund business initiatives.

52

Equity raising investor presentation

B. Key risks

==> picture [156 x 62] intentionally omitted <==

Business risks (cont.)

Risk Risk description
Liquidity demands
There is a risk that Australian Unity’s liquidity and funding plans fail to operate effectively, or there may be factors outside Australian Unity’s control which could
adversely affect these plans. Australian Unity’s liquid investments held to support liquidity needs may not be readily converted to cash, or levels of liquidity may not
be sufficient to respond to a circumstance where liquidity demands exceed forecasts. For example, an event that simultaneously leads to a funding need in a
number of regulated entities or operating entities may place significant demands on the liquidity and funding position.
Reliance on third parties
Australian Unity’s business model increasingly relies on Australian Unity partnering with third party providers. If these third parties are not aligned to Australian
Unity’s purpose and objectives, or fail to deliver services in accordance with contractual arrangements, it may impact Australian Unity’s services, reputation, and
compromise the achievement of strategic objectives.
Workplace injuries or conditions
Australian Unity has a large workforce that could be exposed to workplace injuries or illness. Given the variability of locations, conditions and types of care delivered,
Australian Unity’s workforce may be subject to muscular or skeletal injuries, slips, trips, falls, driving accidents, mental stress or occupational violence and assault.
Workplace injuries can impact Australian Unity’s ability to service customers, retain employees, and can increase its costs.
Exposure to external events
With the diversity of Australian Unity’s businesses, it is exposed to a variety of external events and factors, such as financial market volatility, government
interventions or changes to funding policy, business disruptions through pandemics or extreme weather events (such as drought, bushfire, flood and storm),
evolving ESG expectations and other community issues.

Australian Unity may also make strategic or investment decisions that do not achieve the expected outcomes. If Australian Unity does not identify, understand or
respond to its environment and make the right decisions, it may impact Australian Unity’s ability to execute its strategy.
Regulatory complexity and change
Australian Unity operates a wide range of business activities which are subject to different laws and regulatory requirements and licence conditions. As regulatory
standards and expectations are constantly changing, increased regulation and supervision could adversely affect Australian Unity’s business activities. This could
require changes to Australian Unity’s business model, products or services and the incurrence of significant costs to implement change. Australian Unity may also
face regulatory action and reputational damage if Australian Unity does not comply.
Growing Australian Unity’s Community
& Social Value

Community & Social Value (CSV) as a measure of wellbeing outcomes is a core component of Australian Unity’s corporate purpose. Changes to Australian Unity’s
business composition or decisions which do not sufficiently increase CSV or fail to optimise Australian Unity’s opportunities to increase CSV, may impact
Australian Unity’s ability to meet these objectives.

Equity raising investor presentation

B. Key risks

==> picture [156 x 62] intentionally omitted <==

Risks associated with Australian Unity MCIs specifically[1]

Risk Risk description
Perpetual instruments with no set
maturity

Australian Unity MCIs are perpetual instruments and have no set maturity date. Holders are unable to request or require Repurchase of Australian Unity MCIs. As a
result, Holders should be prepared to hold their Australian Unity MCIs for an indefinite period of time.

Holders may seek to realise their investment in Australian Unity MCIs by selling on ASX but there is no guarantee that they will be able to do so, or do so at a price
acceptable to them, and the price may be less than the Offer Price. Brokerage may also be payable if Holders sell their Australian Unity MCIs on ASX.
Subordinated ranking in a winding-up of
Australian Unity

Australian Unity MCIs are not debt instruments. Holders will rank behind all creditors of Australian Unity, including holders of Australian Unity Bonds, but ahead of the
interests of Non-Shareholder Members. Australian Unity MCIs may rank equally with, behind or ahead of, other series of mutual capital instruments or other securities
issued by Australian Unity in the future. In the event of a winding-up of Australian Unity, Holders will be entitled to the Face Value for each Australian Unity MCI held and
any Dividends which are due but unpaid. If there is a shortfall of funds on a winding-up of Australian Unity to pay the amounts above, Holders will not receive a full
return of capital, and may not receive any payment of the amount to which they would otherwise be entitled.
The Dividend Rate is fixed whereas
interest rates may vary

The Dividend Rate for the discretionary Dividend on Australian Unity MCIs is a fixed rate. Future market interest rates are influenced by a number of factors and may
fluctuate over time. Investors in Australian Unity MCIs will not benefit from any increase in market interest rates via an increase in Dividends as they would under a
floating rate instrument. If there is an increase in market interest rates, there is a risk that Australian Unity MCIs may become a less attractive investment compared to
investments where the rates of return are based on a floating rate. As a result, in a rising interest rate market, the price at which Australian Unity MCIs trade may be
expected to decline.
The value of imputation credits may
change

Under the current dividend imputation system, the quantum of imputation credits associated with a Dividend is based on the prevailing corporate tax rate. If the
corporate tax rate was reduced, the value of imputation credits and therefore of the Dividend received by Holders would decline.
The payment of any Dividends on
Australian Unity MCIs is discretionary

Australian Unity MCIs are not debt instruments and Dividends are not the same as interest payments. The payment of any Dividends is discretionary and subject to the
Directors in their absolute discretion determining that Australian Unity pay the Dividend or part of the Dividend. Australian Unity may not pay a Dividend unless to do so
is fair and reasonable to its members, including Non-Shareholder Members, as a whole and the payment of Dividends may be restricted by law. Based on these factors
there is a risk that a Dividend may not be paid or not paid in full. Dividends are non-cumulative and therefore Australian Unity is not required to make up any unpaid

Risks associated with Australian Unity MCIs specifically[1 ] (cont.)

Risk Risk description
Ability to pay Dividends on Australian
Unity MCIs

The ability of Australian Unity to pay Dividends is dependent on its financial performance. Australian Unity’s ability to pay a fully or partly-franked Dividend is also
contingent on it generating a taxable profit. Financial performance and profits may fluctuate, making the reliable forecasting and payment and franking of Dividends
difficult and unpredictable. No guarantee can be given concerning the future earnings of Australian Unity, nor the earnings or return on investment of its portfolio of
businesses. As a strategic objective of Australian Unity is to deliver sustainable performance, there may be periods in respect of which Dividends may be low or are not
paid at all.
Australian Unity MCIs may be
suspended or delisted

The Terms contain certain obligations on Australian Unity to use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the Australian Unity MCIs remain quoted on ASX (or another
securities exchange) while they are on issue. There is a risk that trading in Australian Unity MCIs could be suspended or could cease to be quoted in certain
circumstances, including if Australian Unity fails to comply with applicable Listing Rules. As a result of any such suspension or cessation of quotation, the liquidity of
Australian Unity MCIs may be substantially impacted. Holders do not have a right to require the Repurchase of the Australian Unity MCIs in these circumstances.
Volatility in the market price of the
Australian Unity MCIs

The market price of Australian Unity MCIs may fluctuate due to various factors, including investor perceptions, worldwide economic conditions, interest rates, credit
spreads, movements in the market price of other equity or debt issued by Australian Unity or the mutual industry, and factors that may affect Australian Unity’s
financial position and trading results and other factors beyond the control of Australian Unity and its Directors.

Australian Unity MCIs may trade at a market price below the Offer Price. As a result, Holders who wish to sell their Australian Unity MCIs may be unable to do so at an
acceptable price (if at all). Markets are volatile and the volatility of markets may change from time to time. Volatility risk is the potential for fluctuations in the price of
securities, sometimes markedly and over a short period. During periods of elevated volatility investors typically seek higher returns, which may impact the price at
which Australian Unity MCIs are traded.

Unlike most debt and hybrid securities, Australian Unity MCIs are perpetual securities. As a consequence, the market price of Australian Unity MCIs is likely to be more
sensitive to changes in interest rates than would be the case for a comparable investment of a fixed term.
Liquidity of the Australian Unity MCIs
Australian Unity MCIs issued under this Equity Raising will be quoted on ASX with existing Australian Unity MCIs under the ASX code AYUPA. However, there is no
certainty that the market will be liquid.

Insufficient liquidity may have a severely adverse effect on the market price of Australian Unity MCIs; the market price may be less than the Offer Price. Holders who
wish to sell their Australian Unity MCIs may not be able to do so easily, at all, or at an acceptable price. The extent of liquidity may also affect the volatility of the market
price of Australian Unity MCIs.

Australian Unity does not guarantee the market price or liquidity of any Australian Unity equity or debt securities, including the MCIs, and there is a risk that you may
lose some or all of the money you invested.

Risk Risk description
Tax consequences for Holders
Holders should be aware that 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 the taxation treatment of an investment in Australian Unity MCIs, or the holding and disposal of Australian Unity MCIs.
Australian Unity depends on transfers of
funds from other members of the
Australian Unity Group to meet its
financial obligations

As a non-operating holding company, Australian Unity is reliant upon intercompany transfers of funds from other members of the Australian Unity group to meet its
financial obligations.

The ability of these entities to make payments to Australian Unity may be restricted by, among other things, applicable laws as well as agreements to which those
entities may be a party, including capital adequacy requirements. Therefore, Australian Unity’s ability to make Dividend payments in respect of the Australian Unity
MCIs may be limited.

In addition, if a subsidiary of Australian Unity is wound up, the claims of Australian Unity on its subsidiaries in respect of its investment in those subsidiaries may rank
behind the claims of creditors of those subsidiaries. It follows that the assets of Australian Unity available to pay Holders are limited to what remains after the payment
of the claims of creditors of those subsidiaries.
Australian Unity may Repurchase
Australian Unity MCIs under certain
circumstances

Australian Unity has the right to Repurchase Australian Unity MCIs in accordance with a Repurchase Notice given at any time if:
-
a Tax Event occurs; or
-
a Regulatory Event occurs; or
-
a Demutualisation Event occurs. If a Demutualisation Event occurs, Australian Unity will be required to Repurchase Australian Unity MCIs before the
Demutualisation takes effect.

There is a risk that the Repurchase Amount may be less than the then current market value of Australian Unity MCIs, or the timing of such Repurchase may not accord
with a Holder’s individual financial circumstances or tax position.
Future incurrence of liabilities and
future issuance of securities, including
additional Australian Unity MCIs

While Australian Unity MCIs are on issue, there are no restrictions on Australian Unity incurring any debt or other obligations ranking ahead of Australian Unity MCIs,
except other classes of mutual capital instruments which rank ahead of Australian Unity MCIs on the return of capital and payment of dividends on the winding-up of
Australian Unity. There are also no restrictions on Australian Unity issuing additional Australian Unity MCIs or further instruments that rank equally with Australian Unity
MCIs. There is a risk that the incurrence of any such debt obligations or other obligations ranking ahead of Australian Unity MCIs or the issue of further instruments,
including any class of mutual capital instruments that rank equally with Australian Unity MCIs may reduce the amount available to pay Dividends, the amount (if any)
recoverable by Holders on a winding-up of Australian Unity, or have an adverse impact on the market price of Australian Unity MCIs or the liquidity of that market. There
is also a risk that Australian Unity’s ability to service the payment of Dividends on the Australian Unity MCIs may be impacted if Australian Unity were to issue
additional Australian Unity MCIs.
The Terms may be amended in certain
circumstances

The Terms may be amended if the amendment has been approved by a Special Resolution and, in limited cases, without the need for any approval of Holders. There is
a risk that such amendments will occur, and that some Holders may not agree with those amendments.

Risks associated with Australian Unity MCIs specifically[1 ] (cont.)

Risk Risk description
Limited impact of voting rights
Reflecting Australian Unity’s status as a mutual entity the Constitution enshrines a limit of one vote per member for any member of Australian Unity. This approach will
also apply to Holders, so that a Holder will only have one vote at a general meeting of Australian Unity regardless of the number of Australian Unity MCIs which they
hold. In addition, Holders will not be entitled to vote on a Demutualisation of Australian Unity, on a proposal to wind up Australian Unity or on a resolution which seeks
to amend these voting limitations. Holders will have only one vote at a general meeting of Australian Unity, even if they are also a Non Shareholder Member. Where a
Holder is a joint holder of an Australian Unity MCI, only the first person named in the Register as a joint Holder is a member of Australian Unity and entitled to vote at a
general meeting of Australian Unity. There is a risk as a consequence of these limited voting rights that a Holder or Holders as a class of members of Australian Unity
will not be able to influence matters requiring Australian Unity member approval in a manner proportionate to their economic investment in Australian Unity.
Interests of Holders may not be the
same as the interests of other
Australian Unity members

Being a mutual entity, Australian Unity is governed by, and for the benefit of, all of its members. While Holders are members, only eligible customers and employees are
able to become Non-Shareholder Members of Australian Unity. The interests of Non Shareholder Members may at times conflict with the interests of the Holders.

The Constitution provides that the Board will, subject to Australian Unity complying with its obligations under the Terms, give preference to the interests of Non
Shareholder Members over the interests of the holders of mutual capital instruments.

Decisions may be made, either by the Board or by a vote of Non Shareholder Members, that may negatively impact the interests of Holders, including resulting in a
lower or no Dividends being paid, and/or a reduction in the price at which the Australian Unity MCIs trade, or the Repurchase of Australian Unity MCIs in accordance
with the Terms.
General economic and financial market
conditions

General economic conditions (both domestic and international), long-term inflation rates, exchange rate movements, interest rate movements and movements in the
general market for ASX and internationally listed securities, changes in domestic or international fiscal, monetary, regulatory and other government policies, changes in
investor perceptions, geo-political conditions and the Australian Unity Group’s financial position and earnings may adversely impact Australian Unity’s ability to declare
and pay Dividends to Holders, and may affect the market price of the Australian Unity MCIs. As a result of the above-mentioned factors, Australian Unity is unable to
forecast the market price for the Australian Unity MCIs and they may trade on ASX at a price that is below the Offer Price.

General risks

Risk Risk description
Market risks
Market risk is the risk of an adverse event in the financial markets that may result in a loss of earnings for Australian Unity and the Australian Unity Group.

Market risk includes exposures to liquidity or funding risk (that is, being unable to meet financial obligations as they fall due, or over-reliance on a funding source
whereby market or environmental changes limit access to that funding source and thereby increase overall funding costs or cause difficulty in raising funds).

Market risk also includes interest rate risk (that is, the potential for a change in interest rates to have an adverse impact on the interest-related earnings of Australian
Unity) and currency risk (that is, risks caused by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates).
Asset price risk
Australian Unity’s balance sheet includes material investment in property and other asset classes. The market value of these classes of asset may fluctuate and such
fluctuations may result in impairment charges being recognised against those assets. Property assets, in particular retirement communities and aged care assets, are
by their nature illiquid investments. Therefore, it may not be possible for the Australian Unity Group to dispose of assets in a timely manner. To the extent that the
Australian Unity Group invests in properties for which there may only be a limited number of willing buyers, the realisable value of those assets may be less than the full
value indicated by the Australian Unity Group’s expectations of future cash flows from the relevant properties.
Litigation
From time to time, the Australian Unity Group may be exposed to litigation or disputes with various parties, such as contractual counterparties, competitors, members
and customers. Litigation and disputes may include, but are not limited to, customer/member claims, and disputes in relation to material investments, operations,
products, memberships or other contracts.

Losses, liability or legal expenses as a result of litigation proceedings could have a material adverse effect on the Australian Unity Group’s business and financial
performance and its ability to pay Dividends. Additionally, litigation involving the Australian Unity Group can also damage its reputation. Whilst the Australian Unity
Group holds professional liability insurance and may from time to time make certain provisions against the possibility of adverse outcomes, there is no guarantee that
the insurance will be sufficient to cover all potential claims or that the provisioned amounts (if any) will adequately cover any such loss suffered or liability incurred.
Taxation
The Australian Unity Group is subject to taxation legislation in the various jurisdictions in which it has operations and conducts business. Any significant change in
taxation law or its interpretation and application by an administrative body could have an adverse effect on the results of its operations. As appropriate, the Australian
Unity Group manages taxation risk by obtaining opinions from taxation specialists and/or rulings from revenue authorities. The Australian Unity Group employs a
proactive approach to managing potential disputes with revenue authorities. Either directly or in conjunction with professional and industry bodies, the Australian Unity
Group also engages in consultation with revenue authorities in relation to potential changes in law.
Climate change
The Australian Unity Group may be exposed to risks relating to climate change, both by way of physical risks to its property assets and potential risks associated with a
transition to a low carbon economy.

General risks (cont.)

Risk Risk description
Reputational risk
Issues of a varying nature may emerge that would give rise to reputational risk and cause harm to the Australian Unity Group’s business dealings and prospects. These
issues include appropriately dealing with potential conflicts of interest, legal and regulatory requirements, issues of ethics, money laundering laws, trade sanctions
legislation, privacy, information security, wage review, sales and trading practices and conduct by companies in which the Australian Unity Group holds strategic
interests. Failure to address these issues appropriately could give rise to additional legal risk, subject Australian Unity and its subsidiaries to regulatory actions, fines
and penalties, or harm the reputation of Australian Unity among its members, customers, employees and Holders.
Changes in Australian Accounting
Standards

The Australian Unity Group is subject to the usual business risks that there may be changes in Australian Accounting Standards which have an adverse financial
impact on Australian Unity or the Australian Unity Group.
Legal investment considerations may
restrict certain investments

The investment activities of certain investors are subject to investment laws and regulations, or review or regulation by certain authorities. Each potential investor
should consult their legal advisers to determine whether and to what extent (i) the MCIs are legal investments for them; and (ii) other restrictions apply to the purchase
or any proposed use as collateral of the Australian Unity MCIs. Financial institutions should consult their legal advisers or the appropriate regulators to determine the
appropriate treatment of the Australian Unity MCIs under any applicable risk-based capital or similar rules.
Strategic decisions and corporate
activities

Australian Unity regularly considers a range of corporate opportunities, including acquisitions, divestments, joint ventures, and investments. The pursuit of corporate
opportunities inherently involves risks, including the risk that Australian Unity overvalues an acquisition or investment, or under-values a divestment, as well as
exposure to reputational damage. Australian Unity may also encounter difficulties in integrating or separating businesses, including the failure to realise expected
synergies, disruption to operations, diversion of management resources, or higher than expected costs. These risks and difficulties may ultimately have an adverse
impact on Australian Unity’s financial performance and position. Additionally, Australian Unity may incur unexpected financial losses following an acquisition, joint
venture, or investment if the business it invests in does not perform as planned or causes unanticipated changes to Australian Unity’s risk profile. There can also be no
assurance that customers, employees, suppliers, counterparties, and other relevant stakeholders will remain with an acquired business following the transaction, and
any failure to retain such stakeholders may have an adverse impact on Australian Unity’s overall financial performance and position.
Offer risk
There is a risk that the amount of proceeds that may be raised by Australian Unity may be adversely impacted by one or more events which may or may not be within
the control of Australian Unity including in respect of the Offer not proceeding in part or in its entirety, particularly as the Offer is not underwritten.

ASX Announcement

4 June 2024

Successful completion of Placement component of Equity Raising

Australian Unity Limited (Australian Unity) is pleased to announce the successful completion of its non-underwritten placement to wholesale investors (Placement) of new mutual capital instruments (New MCIs), which along with its non-underwritten 1 for 3 pro rata nonrenounceable entitlement offer of New MCIs (Entitlement Offer) forms its equity raising (Equity Raising) as previously announced on Monday 3 June 2024.

The Placement was well supported by a range of existing MCI holders together with new investors and was substantially oversubscribed at the targeted Placement amount of $50.0 million. Australian Unity has therefore determined to increase the size of the Placement to $70.0 million. The increased Placement will result in the issue of approximately 965,518 New MCIs.

Additional information

5.1 Eligibility of MCI Holders

The Entitlement Offer is being offered to Eligible MCI Holders only.

Eligible MCI Holders are MCI Holders on the Record Date who:

  • (a) have an address on the Australian Unity register in Australia or New Zealand;

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

  • (c) are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Entitlement Offer;

provided that, if an MCI Holder (including a nominee or custodian) is acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States, it may not participate in the Entitlement Offer on behalf of such a person.

MCI Holders who are not Eligible MCI Holders are Ineligible MCI Holders.

Australian Unity has determined that it is unreasonable to extend the Entitlement Offer to Ineligible MCI Holders because of the small number of such MCI Holders, the number and value of MCIs that they hold and the cost of complying with the applicable regulations in jurisdictions outside Australia and New Zealand. Australian Unity may (in its absolute discretion) extend the Entitlement Offer to MCI Holders who have registered addresses outside Australia and New Zealand (except the United States) in accordance with applicable law.

5.2 Ranking of New MCIs

The New MCIs issued under the Entitlement Offer will be fully paid and rank equally with Existing MCIs.

5.3 Allotment

Australian Unity will apply for quotation of the New MCIs on the ASX in accordance with Listing Rule requirements. If the ASX does not grant quotation of the New MCIs, Australian Unity will repay all Application Monies (without interest).

Subject to approval being granted, it is expected that trading of New MCIs to be issued under the Entitlement Offer will commence on a normal basis on Monday 1 July 2024.

It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine the number of New MCIs allotted and issued to them prior to trading in the New MCIs. The sale by an Applicant of New MCIs prior to receiving their holding statement is at the Applicant’s own risk.

5.4

Reconciliation

In any entitlement offer, investors may believe that they own more Existing MCIs on the Record Date than they ultimately do. This may result in a need for reconciliation to ensure all Eligible MCI Holders have the opportunity to receive their full Entitlement.

Australian Unity may need to issue a small quantity of additional New MCIs to ensure all Eligible MCI Holders have the opportunity to receive their appropriate allocation of New MCIs. The price at which these New MCIs would be issued, if required, is the same as the Offer Price.

Australian Unity also reserves the right to reduce the number of Entitlements or New MCIs allocated to Eligible MCI Holders or persons claiming to be Eligible MCI Holders, if their Entitlement claims prove to be overstated, if they or their nominees fail to provide information requested to substantiate their Entitlement claims, or if they are not Eligible MCI Holders.

Offer Booklet

64

5.5 Rounding of Entitlements

Where fractions arise in the calculation of Entitlements, they will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of New MCIs.

5.6 Underwriting arrangements

The Entitlement Offer and Placement are not underwritten. The Joint Lead Managers are acting as joint lead managers of the Entitlement Offer and Placement.

Australian Unity has entered into an Offer Management Agreement with the Joint Lead Managers in respect of the Entitlement Offer and Placement.

5.7 Joint Lead Managers

Neither of the Joint Lead Managers nor any of the other Joint Lead Manager Parties have authorised or caused the issue of this Offer Booklet and they do not take responsibility for any statements made in this Offer Booklet or any action taken by you on the basis of such information. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Joint Lead Manager Party disclaims all liability for any expenses, losses, damages or costs incurred by you as a result of your participation in the Entitlement Offer and this information being inaccurate or incomplete in any way for any reason, whether by negligence or otherwise. None of the Joint Lead Manager Parties make any recommendations as to whether you or your related parties should participate in the Entitlement Offer, nor do they make any representations or warranties to you concerning this Entitlement Offer or any such information and you represent, warrant and agree that you have not relied on any statements made by the Joint Lead Manager Parties in relation to the New MCIs or the Entitlement Offer generally.

The engagement of the Joint Lead Managers by Australian Unity is not intended to create any agency, fiduciary or other relationship between a Joint Lead Manager and the MCI Holders or any other investor.

5.8 Continuous disclosure

Australian Unity is a “disclosing entity” under the Corporations Act and is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, including the preparation of annual reports and half yearly reports.

Australian Unity is required to notify the ASX of information about specific events and matters as they arise for the purposes of the ASX making that information available to the stock markets conducted by the ASX. In particular, Australian Unity has an obligation under the Listing Rules (subject to certain exceptions) to notify the ASX immediately of any information of which it is or becomes aware which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of Australian Unity MCIs. That information is available to the public from the ASX.

Australian taxation consequences

6.1 General

This section does not constitute financial product advice as defined in the Corporations Act and is confined to taxation issues and is only one of the matters you need to consider when making a decision about your investments.

Below is a general summary of the Australian income tax (including capital gains tax ( CGT )), goods and services tax ( GST ) and stamp duty implications of the Entitlement Offer for Eligible MCI Holders:

  • who are Australian resident individuals, complying superannuation entities, trusts, partnerships and corporate investors; and

  • hold their MCIs and New MCIs, or Additional MCIs, on capital account.

The comments do not apply to Eligible MCI Holders who:

  • are not a resident for Australian income tax purposes;

  • are exempt from Australian income tax;

  • hold their MCIs and New MCIs, or Additional MCIs, as revenue assets or trading stock (which will generally be the case if you are a bank, insurance company or carry on a business of share trading);

  • acquired their MCIs or New MCIs for the purpose of resale at a profit;

  • are subject to the ‘TOFA provisions’ in Division 230 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 in relation to the MCIs or New MCIs, or Additional MCIs; or

  • acquired the Entitlements pursuant to any employee share scheme.

This summary is general in nature, does not take into account individual circumstances of particular Eligible MCI Holders and is not intended to be an authoritative or complete statement of all potential tax implications for each investor or relied upon as tax advice. The precise implications of ownership or disposal will depend upon each investor’s specific circumstances. Australian tax laws are complex. Eligible MCI Holders should seek advice from an appropriate professional adviser in relation to the tax implications of the Entitlement Offer based on their own individual circumstances.

The comments below are based on the Australian tax legislation and administrative practice in force as at 9.00am (AEST time) on the date of this Offer Booklet and do not take into account tax legislation of any country other than Australia. Other than as expressly discussed, the comments do not take into account or anticipate changes in Australian tax law or future judicial interpretations of law after this time.

Australian Unity and its officers, employees, taxation advisers or other advisers do not accept any liability or responsibility in respect of any statement concerning taxation consequences, or in respect of the taxation consequences.

6.2

Issue of Entitlements

The issue of the Entitlements should not in itself result in any amount being included in the assessable income of an Eligible MCI Holder.

Offer Booklet

66

6.3 Exercise of Entitlements and applying for additional New MCIs

New MCIs will be acquired where an Eligible MCI Holder exercises all or part of its Entitlement under the Entitlement Offer. Additional MCIs will be acquired where the Eligible MCI Holder acquires additional New MCIs.

An Eligible MCI Holder should not derive any assessable income, or make any capital gain or capital loss at the time of exercising its Entitlement under the Entitlement Offer.

For Australian CGT purposes, New MCIs should be taken to have been acquired on the day that an Eligible MCI Holder exercises its Entitlements and Additional MCIs will be taken to have been acquired on the date the Additional MCIs were issued to the Eligible MCI Holder. The cost base of each New MCI should be equal to the Offer Price (plus certain non-deductible incidental costs the Eligible MCI Holder incurs in acquiring the New MCIs).

6.4 Lapse of Entitlements

If an Eligible MCI Holder does not accept all or part of its Entitlements in accordance with the instructions set out above in Section 2, then that Entitlement will lapse. The Eligible MCI Holder will not receive any consideration for an Entitlement that is not taken up. There should be no Australian tax implications for an Eligible MCI Holder from the lapse of the Entitlements.

6.5 Taxation in respect of dividends on New MCIs

Any future dividends or other distributions made in respect of New MCIs and Additional MCIs should be subject to the same income taxation treatment as dividends or other distributions made on MCIs held in the same circumstances.

It is possible for a dividend to be fully franked, partly franked or unfranked. Franking credits broadly represent the extent to which Australian corporate tax has been attributed to the dividend. It should be noted that the concept of a dividend for Australian income tax purposes is very broad and can include payments that are made in respect of such things as off-market MCI buy-backs. Please refer to the section below on MCIs being held at risk in relation to the availability of franking credits.

Australian resident individuals and complying superannuation entities

Any dividends paid by Australian Unity on a New MCI, or an Additional MCI, will constitute assessable income of an Australian tax resident investor. Australian tax resident investors who are individuals or complying superannuation entities should include the dividend together with any franking credit attached to that dividend in their assessable income in the year the dividend is paid.

Subject to the comments below regarding MCIs being held ‘at risk’, such investors should be entitled to a tax offset equal to the franking credit attached to the dividend. The tax offset can be applied to reduce the tax payable on the investor’s taxable income. Where the tax offset exceeds the tax payable on the investor’s taxable income, the investor should be entitled to a tax refund equal to the excess.

To the extent that the dividend is unfranked, the investor will generally be taxed at his or her prevailing marginal rate on the dividend received (with no tax offset).

Corporate investors

Corporate investors are required to include both the dividend and any associated franking credit in their assessable income. Subject to the comments below regarding MCIs being held ‘at risk’, corporate investors are then entitled to a tax offset up to the amount of the franking credit attached to the dividend. Excess franking credits received by corporate investors will not give rise to a refund entitlement for a company, but can be converted into carry forward tax losses instead.

Offer Booklet

67

An Australian resident corporate investor should be entitled to a credit in its own franking account to the extent of the franking credits attached to the distribution received. This will allow the corporate investor to pass the franking credits on to its investor(s) on the subsequent payment of franked dividends.

Trusts and partnerships

Investors who are trustees (other than trustees of complying superannuation entities) or partnerships should include both the dividend and any associated franking credit (where the MCIs are relevantly held ‘at risk’) in determining the net income of the trust or partnership.

The relevant beneficiary or partner may be entitled to a tax offset equal to the franking credits included in the beneficiary’s or partner’s share of the net income of the trust or partnership.

MCIs held at risk

The benefit of franking credits can be denied where an investor is not a ‘qualified person’, in which case the investor will not need to include the amount of the franking credits in their assessable income and will not be entitled to a tax offset.

Broadly, to be a ‘qualified person’, two tests must be satisfied, namely the holding period rule and the related payment rule.

Under the holding period rule, an investor is required to hold New MCIs, and Additional MCIs, ‘at risk’ for more than 45 days continuously (which is measured as the period commencing the day after the MCIs were acquired and ending on the 45th day after the New MCIs become exdividend) in order to qualify for franking benefits, including franking credits. This holding period rule is subject to certain exceptions, including where the total franking offsets of an individual in a year of income do not exceed $5,000.

Under the related payment rule, a different testing period applies where the investor has made, or is under an obligation to make, a related payment in relation to the dividend. The related payment rule requires the investor to have held the New MCIs at risk for the continuous 45 day period as above but within the period commencing on the 45th day before, and ending on the 45th day after the day the New MCIs become ex-dividend.

Investors should seek professional advice to determine if these requirements, as they apply to them, have been satisfied.

There are specific integrity rules that prevent taxpayers from obtaining a tax benefit from additional franking credits where dividends are received as a result of ‘dividend washing’ arrangements. MCI Holders should consider the impact of these rules given their own personal circumstances.

6.6 Disposal of New MCIs or Additional MCIs

The disposal of New MCIs or Additional MCIs, should constitute a disposal for CGT purposes for most Australian resident investors.

On disposal of a New MCI or an Additional MCI, an Eligible MCI Holder should make a capital gain if the capital proceeds received on disposal exceed the total cost base of the New MCI. An Eligible MCI Holder should make a capital loss if the capital proceeds are less than the total reduced cost base of the New MCI or Additional MCI. In the case of an arm’s length on-market sale, the capital proceeds should generally equal the cash proceeds from the sale. The CGT cost base of the New MCIs and Additional MCIs is broadly the amount paid to acquire the New MCIs and Additional MCIs plus any transaction/incidental costs.

Where the Eligible MCI Holder is a partnership, the partners of that partnership (and not the partnership itself) should ordinarily be treated as realising any capital gain arising from the disposal (in their proportionate shares).

Offer Booklet

68

A CGT discount may be applied against any capital gain (after reduction of the capital gain by applicable capital losses) where:

  • the Eligible MCI Holder which realises the capital gain is an individual, complying superannuation entity or trustee;

  • the New MCIs or Additional MCIs have been held for at least 12 months (not including the date of acquisition or disposal for CGT purposes); and

  • certain other requirements have been satisfied.

Where the CGT discount applies, any capital gain arising to individuals and entities acting as trustees (other than trustees of a complying superannuation entity) may be reduced by 50 percent, after offsetting current year or prior year capital losses. For a complying superannuation entity, any capital gain may be reduced by one third, after offsetting current year or prior year capital losses.

If the Eligible MCI Holder who realises the capital gain and is entitled to the CGT discount is the trustee of a trust (other than the trustee of a complying superannuation entity), the CGT discount may flow through to the beneficiaries of the trust, provided those beneficiaries are not companies. Eligible MCI Holders that are trustees should seek specific advice regarding the tax consequences of distributions to beneficiaries who may qualify for discounted capital gains.

Capital losses may only be offset against capital gains realised in the same income year or future income years, subject to certain loss recoupment tests being satisfied. Capital losses cannot be offset against other assessable income. As with capital gains, where the Eligible MCI Holder realising the capital loss is a partnership, the partners of that partnership (and not the partnership itself) should ordinarily be treated as realising the capital loss (in their proportionate shares).

6.7

GST

The rights received under the Entitlement as well as the taking up of the New MCIs and Additional MCIs should be classified as an “input taxed financial supply” for Australian GST purposes. Accordingly, Australian GST should not be payable in respect of amounts paid for the acquisition of the New MCIs or Additional MCIs.

No GST should be payable in respect of dividends paid to Eligible MCI Holders.

An Australian resident Eligible MCI Holder registered for GST may not be entitled to claim full input tax credits in respect of GST on expenses incurred relating to the acquisition, redemption or disposal of the MCIs or New MCIs or Additional MCIs (e.g. lawyers’ and accountants’ fees).

Investors should seek their own tax advice on the impact of GST in their own particular circumstances.

6.8

Stamp duty

Stamp duty should not be payable by Eligible MCI Holders in respect of receiving rights under the Entitlement, the taking up of New MCIs under the Entitlement Offer or Additional MCIs provided that all acquisitions occur when all of the securities in Australian Unity are quoted on the market operated by ASX and no MCI Holder (together with interests of associated persons and interests acquired under associated transactions) holds an interest of 90 percent or more in Australian Unity.

Offer Booklet

6.9 Tax file numbers

An investor is not required to quote their tax file number ( TFN ) to Australian Unity. However, if a TFN (or certain exemption details) is not provided, Australian withholding tax may be required to be deducted by Australian Unity from dividends at the maximum marginal tax rate plus the Medicare levy. An investor who holds MCIs or New MCIs as part of an enterprise may quote its Australian Business Number instead of its TFN.

Eligible MCI Holders may be able to claim an income tax credit/refund (as applicable) in their income tax returns in respect of any tax withheld.

3 Dividend

3.1 Dividend

Subject to these Terms (including, but not limited to, clause 3.3), the Dividend payable on each MCI for each Dividend Period is payable in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date and is calculated according to the following formula:

Dividend = (Dividend Rate x Face Value x N)

365

where

Dividend Rate means 5.00 percent per annum; and

N means, in respect of a Dividend Period, the number of days in that Dividend Period.

3.2 Adjustment to calculation of a Dividend for franking

If any Dividend is not franked to 100% under Part 3-6 of the Tax Act, the Dividend will be calculated according to the following formula:

Dividend = D 1– [ T * (1 - F )]

where

D means the Dividend calculated under clause 3.1;

T means the Australian corporate tax rate applicable to the franking account of Australian Unity on the relevant Dividend Payment Date (expressed as a decimal); and

F means the franking percentage (as defined in Part 3-6 of the Tax Act) applicable to the franking account of Australian Unity on the relevant Dividend Payment Date (expressed as a decimal).

An amount so deposited shall be taken to have been duly paid to the Holder and shall not bear interest. Any interest accruing on any such account shall be paid to Australian Unity.

in relation to any mutual capital instruments (as that term is defined in the Corporations Act) or other security or share of Australian Unity which ranks equally with or behind MCIs in respect of a return of capital on the winding up of Australian Unity, unless the amount of any unpaid Dividend is paid in full within five Business Days of that Dividend Payment Date. If, on a subsequent Dividend Payment Date a Dividend is paid in full, or if all MCIs have been Repurchased or otherwise cease to be on issue, then these restrictions cease to apply.

  • (b) Clause 3.5(a) does not restrict Australian Unity paying any dividend, returning any capital or undertaking any buy-back or repurchases which Australian Unity is legally obliged to pay, return, complete or undertake at the time that the relevant Dividend is not paid to Holders in full on the relevant Dividend Payment Date.

4.4 Final Dividend

For the avoidance of doubt, Repurchase may occur even if Australian Unity does not pay the Final Dividend Payment.

4.5 Warranty

5 MCI general rights

5.1 Ranking

  • (a) MCIs rank equally amongst themselves in all respects.

  • (b) Australian Unity may issue further mutual capital instruments (as that term is defined in the Corporations Act) on such terms as the Directors determine, including, but not limited to, different (but not in priority to MCIs) dividend rights, buy-back and capital reduction rights to MCIs, provided that those mutual capital instruments do not rank in priority to MCIs in respect of a payment of Dividends or a return of capital on the winding-up of Australian Unity. Such an issue does not constitute a variation or cancellation of the rights attached to MCIs and does not require the approval of Holders.

  • (c) Australian Unity must not issue any mutual capital instruments (as that term is defined in the Corporations Act) which rank in priority to MCIs in respect of a payment of Dividends or a return of capital on the winding-up of Australian Unity, without first obtaining the approval of Holders by a Special Resolution. Such an issue does not constitute a variation of the rights attached to MCIs.

5.2 No set-off

  • (a) Australian Unity has no right to set-off any amounts owing by it to a Holder in respect of MCIs against any claims owing by the Holder to Australian Unity.

  • (b) No Holder has any right to set-off any amounts owing by it to Australian Unity or a member of the Australian Unity Group against any claims owing by Australian Unity or another member of the Australian Unity Group to such Holder.

5.3 Winding-up

On the winding-up of Australian Unity, Holders will be entitled to receive out of the assets of Australian Unity available for distribution to shareholders of Australian Unity, in respect of each MCI held, a cash payment (Winding-Up Amount) equal to:

  • (a) the amount of any Dividend due but unpaid; and

  • (b) the Face Value,

before any return of capital or distribution is made to holders of ordinary shares or any other class of securities or shares ranking behind MCIs, or to Non Shareholder Members. A payment made under this clause 5.3 to any one joint Holder of an MCI will discharge Australian Unity’s liability to all joint Holders of that MCI.

5.4 Shortfall on winding-up of Australian Unity

If, upon a return of capital on the winding-up of Australian Unity, there are insufficient funds to pay in full the amounts referred to in clause 5.3 and any amounts payable in respect of any other shares in Australian Unity ranking as to such distribution equally with the MCIs on a winding-up of Australian Unity, Holders and the holders of any such other shares will share in any distribution of assets of Australian Unity in proportion to the amounts to which they respectively are entitled.

5.5 No participation in surplus assets

MCIs do not confer on Holders any further right to participate in the surplus assets of Australian Unity on the winding-up of Australian Unity beyond payment of the Winding-Up Amount.

5.6 Participation in new issues

MCIs confer no rights to subscribe for new securities of Australian Unity or to participate in any bonus issues of securities of Australian Unity.

such that that person is able to directly or indirectly control or influence the exercise of more than one vote at the AGM or a Special General Meeting.

7 Non-resident Holders

(a) Where MCIs are held by or on behalf of a person resident outside Australia, then, despite anything to the contrary contained in these Terms, it is a condition precedent to any right of the Holder to receive payment of any money in respect of those MCIs, that all necessary Authorisations (if any) which may then be required are obtained by the Holder at the cost of the Holder and any other statutory requirements are satisfied.

An amount so deposited shall be taken to have been duly paid to the Holder and shall not bear interest. Any interest accruing on any such account shall be paid to Australian Unity.

  • (c) For the purposes of clause 7(a), Authorisation includes any consent, authorisation, registration, filing, lodgement, permit, franchise, agreement, notarisation, certificate, permission, licence, approval, direction, declaration, authority or exemption from, by or with any government or any Governmental Agency.

  • (b) Nothing in clause 8(a) will prejudice or affect any right or remedy which any such law may confer or purport to confer on Australian Unity.

9 Power of attorney

Each Holder irrevocably:

The power of attorney given in this clause 9 is given for valuable consideration and to secure the performance by the Holder of the Holder’s obligations under these Terms and is irrevocable.

10 Title and transfer of MCIs

  • (a) Each entry in the Register of a person as a Holder constitutes:

  • (1) conclusive evidence of that person’s:

    • (a) absolute ownership of that MCI;

    • (b) entitlement to the other benefits given to Holders under these Terms in respect of MCIs; and

  • (2) an undertaking by Australian Unity to pay Dividends and any other amount in accordance with these Terms, subject to correction of the Register for fraud or error.

  • (b) Except as required by law or otherwise in accordance with these Terms, Australian Unity and the Registry must treat the person whose name is entered in the Register as a Holder as the absolute owner of that MCI. This clause applies despite any notice of ownership, trust or interest in that MCI. No recognition of any trust, encumbrance or interest shall be entered on the Register.

  • (c) Where two or more persons are entered in the Register as joint Holders, they are taken to hold that MCI as joint tenants with rights of survivorship. The Registry is not bound to register more than three persons as joint Holders of any MCI.

  • (o) A person who becomes entitled to an MCI because of a Transmission Event may, on producing any evidence Australian Unity or the Registry may request to prove that person’s entitlement to the MCI, choose:
