Letter from the Chairman
5 January 2021
Dear Shareholder,
On behalf of the Board of BetMakers Technology Group Ltd ( BetMakers or the Company ) and further to the Company’s announcement on Tuesday 1 December 2020, I am pleased to provide Eligible Shareholders an opportunity to participate in BetMakers’ share purchase plan ( SPP ).
The offer under the SPP ( SPP Offer ) follows the successful placement of Shares in BetMakers to institutional and sophisticated investors as announced on 4 January 2021 ( Placement ) and is intended to give Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to increase their shareholdings at the same price was offered under the Placement. Each Director who is an Eligible Shareholder intends to apply for their entitlement under the SPP Offer.
The funds raised under both the SPP Offer and the Placement will be applied toward BetMakers’ acquisition of Sportech’s Tote and Digital Businesses. Please see BetMakers’ ASX announcements on 1 December 2020 for further details.
In addition to the key terms of the SPP Offer set out on page 1, this Booklet also contains important legal information in relation to the SPP Offer and should be read fully before you make any investment decision. You should seek independent advice from your stockbroker, accountant or other professional adviser if you have any questions in relation to your contemplated investment under the SPP Offer.
The SPP Offer is made in accordance with ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 ( Class Order ). The Class Order limits the amount which can be invested under the SPP by each Eligible Shareholder to $30,000 and imposes certain requirements for trustees, custodians and nominees holding shares on behalf of Beneficiaries. These requirements and limits are set out in this Booklet. I strongly encourage you to read this Booklet in its entirety and contact Computershare, the registry service provider during normal business hours (AEDT), Monday to Friday during the Offer Period on +61 3 9415 4000 or 1300 855 080 if you have any questions.
On behalf of the Board, I thank you for taking the time to read this letter and invite all Eligible Shareholders to consider participating in the SPP.
Yours sincerely,

-
2.3 If you hold Shares as a trustee or nominee for another person or persons but you are not a Custodian as defined in the Class Order, you cannot participate for those beneficiaries in the manner prescribed for Custodians in this Booklet. In these circumstances, the rules applicable to multiple holdings will apply to your entitlement to SPP Shares.
3. Custodians
-
3.1 The SPP Offer is being offered to Custodians as the registered Shareholder to the extent that they hold Shares on behalf of an Eligible Beneficiary. Custodians are not required to participate on behalf of their Eligible Beneficiaries. Custodians may choose whether or not to extend the SPP Offer to their Eligible Beneficiaries.
-
3.2 If you wish to apply as a Custodian under the SPP Offer to receive SPP Shares for one or more Eligible Beneficiaries, you must complete and submit a Custodian Certificate that contains further certifications and details (as required under the terms of the Class Order) before your Application Form will be accepted. Applications that are not accompanied by a duly completed Custodian Certificate will be rejected.
-
3.3 Custodians must request a Custodian Certificate when making an Application on behalf of Eligible Beneficiaries. To request a Custodian Certificate, or to receive further information on how to apply, Custodians should contact the Registry during normal business hours (AEDT), Monday to Friday during the Offer Period on +61 3 9415 4000 or 1300 855 080.
-
3.4 By applying as a Custodian on behalf of Eligible Beneficiaries to purchase SPP Shares, you certify (among other things) that each Eligible Beneficiary will not exceed the $30,000 limit under the Class Order.
-
3.5 Custodians and nominees may not participate in the SPP Offer on behalf of beneficial shareholders who reside or are incorporated, or are located, in the United States, or who reside or are incorporated in other jurisdictions outside Australia and New Zealand.
4. Joint holders and joint Beneficiaries
- 4.1 If two or more persons are registered on the Register as jointly holding Shares at the Record Date, they are taken to be a single registered shareholder of those Shares and a certification given by any of them is deemed to be a certification given by all of them.
5. Applications for SPP Shares
-
5.1 Each Eligible Shareholder may apply for a minimum of $3,000 of SPP Shares up to a maximum of $30,000 of SPP Shares and otherwise in $1,500 increments. These limitations apply to each Eligible Shareholder irrespective of number of separate holdings in which they have a beneficial interest (including joint holdings, multiple share accounts or holdings via a Custodian).
-
5.2 Eligible Shareholders who wish to apply for SPP Shares must either:
-
(a) make a payment for the maximum amount the Eligible Shareholder wishes to pay for SPP Shares by BPAYâ in accordance with the instructions on the Application Form so that payment is received prior to the Offer Closing Date; or
-
(b) complete the Application Form and forward it with a cheque drawn from an Australian financial institution for the value of SPP Shares for which you want to apply made payable to “BetMakers Technology Group Ltd SPP” and crossed “Not Negotiable” so that it is received prior to the Offer Closing Date by the Registry at the following address:
Mailing Address:
BetMakers Technology Group Ltd SPP c/- Computershare Investor Services Pty Ltd GPO Box 505 Melbourne VIC 3001
-
5.3 If paying your Application Monies by BPAYâ, you are not required to submit your Application Form to apply for SPP Shares but must use the specific BPAYâ biller code and customer reference number detailed on their personalised Application Form. Payments received after the Offer Closing Date will not be accepted and no SPP Shares will be issued to you in respect of those Application Monies. Applicants should be aware of their financial institution’s cut-off time (the payment must be made to be processed overnight) and it is the Applicant’s responsibility to ensure funds are submitted correctly by the Offer Closing Date and time.
-
5.4 If paying your Application Monies by cheque, there is a risk that you may experience slower than expected postal delivery timeframes in the current COVID-19 environment. Therefore, paying by BPAYâ, if possible, is the quickest method of payment.
-
5.5 To make a payment by BPAYâ, you must hold an account with an Australian financial institution. Eligible Shareholders should be aware that their own financial institution may implement earlier cut off times with regards to electronic payment and should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. You may also have your own limit on the amount that can be paid via BPAYâ. We advise that it is your responsibility to check that the amount you wish to pay via BPAYâ does not exceed that limit.
-
5.6 Eligible Shareholders who receive more than one SPP Offer under the SPP (for example, because they hold Shares in more than one capacity or in different registered holdings) may apply by making payments in accordance with several different Application Forms for SPP Shares but may not apply for any number of SPP Shares with an aggregated value exceeding $30,000. Where an Eligible Shareholder has received multiple Application Forms, we recommend that Eligible Shareholders only apply for their entitlement to SPP Shares using the instructions of one Application Form.
-
5.7 BetMakers may accept or reject your Application for SPP Shares in whole or in part, at its discretion, including without limitation, if:
-
(a) your Application does not comply with these Terms and Conditions;
-
(b) it appears you are not an Eligible Shareholder;
-
(c) your cheque or BPAYâ payment is not received by the Registry by the Offer Closing Date ;
-
(d) your Application is for less than $3,000 worth of SPP Shares or not for an amount in a $1,500 increment;
-
(e) if paying your Application Monies by cheque:
-
(i) the amount of your cheque is not equal to the amount corresponding to your Application Form; (ii) your Application Form is incomplete or incorrectly completed or is otherwise determined by BetMakers to be invalid; or
-
(iii) your cheque is dishonoured or has been incorrectly completed;
-
-
(f) if paying your Application Monies by BPAYâ, your BPAYâ payment does not refer to the correct reference number (which is required to identify your shareholding) or is otherwise determined by BetMakers to be invalid;
-
(g) it appears that you are applying to purchase more than $30,000 worth of SPP Shares in aggregate (including as a result of Shares you hold directly, jointly or through a Custodian or nominee arrangement) or your Application does not meet the minimum subscription amount of $3,000 or is not for an amount in a $1,500 increment above the minimum subscription amount; or
-
(h) payment of the Application Monies is not submitted in Australian currency or, if payment is made by cheque, the cheque is not drawn on an account with an Australian financial institution or in Australian currency.
-
5.8 If BetMakers rejects your Application for SPP Shares in whole or in part, BetMakers will (in its sole discretion):
-
(a) refund that amount of your Application Monies not applied as payment for SPP Shares; or
-
(b) allot to you the number of SPP Shares that would have been allotted had you applied for the highest designated amount that is less than the amount of your Application Monies and refund to you the excess amount of your Application Monies.
-
5.9 If you are entitled to a refund of all or any of your Application Monies, the refund will be paid to you, without interest, as soon as practicable, by:
-
(a) direct credit to your nominated bank account recorded with the Registry as at the Offer Closing Date (if applicable); or
-
(b) cheque, posted to your registered address recorded with the Registry as at the Offer Closing Date.
-
5.10 BetMakers strongly encourages all Shareholders to ensure that the correct bank and postal address details are recorded in the Registry prior to the Offer Closing Date to ensure that any refunds are processed and received.
6. Issue Price
-
6.1 The Issue Price of each SPP Share will be $0.60 per SPP Share. This represents the same price as the Shares issued under the Placement and represents a 6.6% discount to the volume weighted average price of BetMakers Shares traded on the ASX over the last five days on which sales in BetMakers Shares were recorded before 1 December 2020 (being the date the SPP was announced) ($0.64).
-
6.2 There is a risk that the market price of BetMakers’ Shares may rise or fall between the date of the SPP Offer under this Booklet and the time of issue of the SPP Shares. This means that the Issue Price for the SPP Shares may be less or more than the market price of Shares at the date of this Booklet or the Issue Date. Irrespective of the market price of Shares as at the Issue Date, the Issue Price of SPP Shares will not change. Your Application is unconditional and may not be withdrawn even if the market price of BetMakers Shares is less than the Issue Price at any time.
-
6.3 The current Share price can be obtained from the ASX and is listed in the financial and business section of major daily newspapers circulating in Australia.
-
6.4 You agree to pay the Issue Price per SPP Share for the number of SPP Shares calculated under clause 7.1 or, if there is a scale back, the number of SPP Shares calculated under clause 11.
7. Number of SPP Shares to be issued
-
7.1 If you apply for SPP Shares, you will apply for a certain value, rather than a certain number, of SPP Shares. If your Application is accepted, BetMakers will divide the value of your Application Monies by the Issue Price to determine the maximum number of SPP Shares which may be issued to you, subject to scale back and the matters listed in clause 5.7.
-
7.2 If the calculation under clause 7.1 yields a fractional number, the number of SPP Shares issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole SPP Share.
8. Issue
-
8.1 SPP Shares will be issued on the Issue Date.
-
8.2 SPP Shares will rank equally with existing Shares at the Issue Date.
-
8.3 BetMakers will apply to ASX for the quotation of SPP Shares. It is anticipated that SPP Shares will be quoted on the ASX immediately after their issue.
-
8.4 The Registry will send you a holding statement, confirming the issue of SPP Shares, in accordance with the Registry’s usual dispatch of holding statements each month.
