The Scheme Booklet is an important document and requires your immediate attention. You should read the Scheme Booklet, including the materials accompanying it, carefully in full before making a decision about how to vote at the Scheme Meeting.

SUPPLEMENTARY SCHEME BOOKLET

On 12 December 2023, TMT and AVL announced that AVL had agreed to increase the total consideration offered under the Scheme from 12 AVL shares for every 1 TMT share ( Original Scheme Consideration ) to 14 AVL shares for every 1 TMT share ( Revised Scheme Consideration ). The Scheme Implementation Deed and the Scheme have been amended to reflect the Revised Scheme Consideration, and a copy of the amending deed is attached to TMT’s ASX announcement titled ‘AVL increases scheme consideration to best & final proposal’. A supplementary Scheme Booklet, which will be released to the ASX and sent to TMT shareholders as soon as practicable, will provide further detail about the Revised Scheme Consideration and related matters.

CGT DECLARATION FORM

If AVL determines (acting reasonably) that it is required to pay a CGT withholding amount to the Commissioner of Taxation with respect to the acquisition of the TMT Scheme Shares, it is entitled to do so under the Scheme Implementation Deed.

If you receive a CGT Declaration Form, it means that AVL considers, or reasonably believes, that you are a relevant ‘foreign resident’ for the purposes of the Australian foreign resident capital gains withholding tax regime.

The purpose of the CGT Declaration Form is to provide the opportunity for relevant TMT Scheme Shareholders to provide a declaration and prevent the need for AVL to withhold any Scheme Consideration.

If you receive a CGT Declaration Form, you should ensure that you read it in full and follow the instructions for completing and returning the CGT Declaration Form (which can be found on the CGT Declaration Form).

If you do not receive a CGT Declaration Form, no further action is required to be taken on your part in relation to this form or the declaration.
