Chairman's Letter

21 May 2021

Dear Investor,

On behalf of the Directors of Carbonxt Group Limited (ACN 097 247 464) (ASX: CG1) ( Company ), I am pleased to announce that the Company is implementing a non-renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer ( Rights Issue ).

The offer is for 1 New Share for every 11 existing Shares held at an offer price $0.15 per New Share. It is anticipated that up to 13,710,889 New Shares may be issued pursuant to this Prospectus, which would raise approximately $2.06 million.

In addition to this, for every 2 New Shares issued, the Company will issue one free attaching New Option with an exercise price of $0.24 exercisable on or before Wednesday, 21 June 2023, being 24 months from the issue date.

The purpose of the Offer under this Prospectus is to support the development of Activated Carbon pellets and to fund general working capital.

Eligible Shareholders may apply for additional New Securities in excess of their Entitlements under the Top-Up Facility on the terms set out in Section 2.12.

The Offer is partially underwritten to the amount of $1,000,000 by the Underwriter on the terms set out in Section 2.13.

We have recently completed an institutional placement and the Offer under this Prospectus is designed to give our shareholders the opportunity to participate on the same terms as those investors in the recent placement.

Participation in the Offer is entirely voluntary. If you decide to participate, you will receive New Securities in accordance with the terms set out in this Prospectus. Alternatively, you may do nothing and thereby retain your current level of shareholding, however, your percentage shareholding in the Company will be diluted. The level of change in your percentage shareholding will depend on the take up of Entitlements, the number of New Securities issued under the Top-Up Facility and the number of Shortfall Securities issued to the Underwriter.

Under the Rights Issue, Shareholders are able to purchase New Shares (with free attaching New Options) and, on exercise of those New Options, additional fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (ranking equally with existing fully paid ordinary shares) without brokerage costs.

The right to participate in the Rights Issue is only available to investors who are registered as shareholders of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on Wednesday, 26 May 2021 and have registered addresses in Australia or New Zealand.

The Rights Issue is non-renounceable and will open on Friday, 28 May 2021 and will close at 5.00pm (Sydney time) on Wednesday, 16 June 2021.

The terms and conditions of the Offer are contained in this Prospectus. Please read this Prospectus (including the risk factors in Sections 1.3 and 4) carefully and in its entirety.

On behalf of the Directors, I invite you to consider this opportunity to increase your investment in the Company.

Yours sincerely

1.2 Investment highlights

The Directors of the Company are of the view that an investment in the Company provides the following non-exhaustive list of key highlights:

  • (a) The Company develops, manufactures, and markets proprietary Activated Carbon products, which are used to eliminate mercury and other toxic pollutants from industrial flue gas and wastewater streams and other industrial emissions.

  • (b) The Company produces patented Activated Carbon products in two forms: nonbrominated powders and pellets:

  • (i) Activated Carbon powder products are used by coal-fired power plants to achieve emissions compliance; and

P a g e | 10

  • (ii) Activated Carbon pellet products have a wide range of industrial applications including: filtration, heavy manufacturing, and wastewater treatment.

  • (c) The Company has significant internal R&D capability given its track record of multiple firstof-a-kind developments and commercialisations including two recent public grants, being the Helix Award and Florida Red Tide Mitigation and Technology Development Initiative.

  • (d) The Company operates three facilities in the US with a fourth facility to commence construction in the near term:

  • (i) Black Birch - 10,000t p.a. capacity manufacturing facility in Georgia producing powdered Activated Carbon;

  • (ii) Arden Hills - 7,000t p.a. capacity manufacturing facility in Minnesota producing Activated Carbon pellets;

  • (iii) Kentucky – 5,000t p.a. capacity manufacturing facility to be constructed in Kentucky producing Activated Carbon pellets; and

  • (iv) Gainesville - R&D facility in Florida,

where sales are primarily made to other Activated Carbon companies who do not produce pellets, large operators of coal-fired power stations, cement plants, and other industrial processes.

  • (e) As mentioned in (d) above, the Company expects to commence construction of a new Activated Carbon pellet facility in Kentucky . This involves the following:

  • (i) Completion of a new 5,000 ton per annum pellet facility in Kentucky is expected in 2QFY22. The facility will be 100% funded by the counterparty and will improve gross margins and eliminate working capital requirements of the Company for industrial pellets (see below). At full production, the Company expects additional revenue of approximately $20 million and profit margins of 20-30%.

  • (ii) A contract for this plant has been agreed, subject to a condition precedent to obtain a construction permit. The permit is expected to be granted within 4-6 weeks and construction to then commence immediately. All design works have been completed and the majority of equipment has been sourced by the counterparty.

  • (iii) As the completion of the new pellet facility is now imminent, the decision has been made to defer further production of CTC (commodity or industrial pellets) until operations begin at the Kentucky facility. Market conditions for the manufacturing of this product have worsened due to rapidly increasing costs for key imported ingredients, onerous pre-payment terms and lengthening delivery timetables predominantly because of the effect of COVID-19 on international shipping and manufacturing. None of these factors will impact the production from the new Kentucky facility.

1.3 Key risks

The business, assets and operations of Carbonxt will be subject to certain risk factors that have the potential to influence the operating and financial performance of Carbonxt in the future. These risks can impact on the value of an investment in the Securities of the Company.

The Board aims to manage these risks by carefully planning its activities and implementing risk control measures. Some of the risks are, however, highly unpredictable and the extent to which they can effectively be managed or mitigated may be limited.

Set out below are key risks that Carbonxt is and will be exposed to. Further risks associated with an investment in the Company are outlined in Section 4.

The key risks are as follows:

P a g e | 11

(a) Additional capital requirements

As Carbonxt's business grows and new customers are acquired, Carbonxt may require additional funding to support its growth.

(b) Ability to retain existing clients or attract new clients

Carbonxt’s business depends on its ability to retain existing customers, together with its ability to attract further business from existing customers or attract new customers.

The loss of existing customers or the inability to attract new customers would have an adverse impact on the financial position of Carbonxt.

(c) Regulatory risk

Carbonxt is heavily reliant on US environmental policies and regulation. One of the Carbonxt's primary market opportunities results from the US Environmental Protection Agency’s ( EPA ) Mercury Air Toxic Standards regulations that came into force in April 2016 to tightly regulate the emission of mercury released through the burning of coal. Any change to, or reversal of, current Mercury Air Toxic Standards legislation would have a significant negative effect on Carbonxt's business model and financial performance.

(d) Intellectual property risk

Carbonxt relies heavily on its technology and know-how and there can be no assurance that competitors of Carbonxt or other parties will not seek to imitate or develop technology and know-how that competes with Carbonxt or supersedes the Carbonxt’s technology. The unauthorised use or disclosure of its intellectual property may have an adverse effect on the operating, marketing and financial performance of Carbonxt which could erode Carbonxt’s competitive advantage. Carbonxt cannot be certain that others will not independently develop the same or similar technologies on their own or gain access to trade secrets or disclose such technology, or that Carbonxt will be able to meaningfully protect its trade secrets and unpatented know-how and keep them secret. Carbonxt's patent portfolio includes an exclusive license to a granted patent pursuant to a license agreement. There is an inherent risk with any licensed technology that the license may be terminated in accordance with its terms or the patent invalidated by a third party.

(e) Reliance on key personnel

Carbonxt currently employs, or engages as consultants, several key management and scientific personnel. The Company’s success is dependent upon a number of highly qualified and experienced personnel and a stable workforce. The inability to attract and retain the necessary technical and managerial personnel could have a material and adverse effect upon Carbonxt’s business, operations and financial condition.

(f) Competitive & dynamic market

Carbonxt operates in a changing market for Activated Carbon primarily driven by EPA regulations. This emerging market may provide existing or new competitors with stimulus to increase competitive pressure through technological advancements, volume increases or pricing and other strategies. Any significant advancements in technology for producing Activated Carbon or for competitors to develop the technology to manufacture effective Activated Carbon pellets in the US have the potential to change the competitive environment in which Carbonxt intends to operate.

(g) Offshore operations

The Company is listed in Australia, but for the foreseeable future will have its manufacturing, research and development, and marketing efforts located in the US. The Company has operated in the US for some time and the majority of its employees are located in the US.

(h) Safety and industrial accidents

P a g e | 12

The production of Carbonxt’s products is subject to safety related risks, which is being managed carefully by Carbonxt. Despite the relevant safety guards there is no guarantee a serious accident will not occur in the future. A serious accident may negatively affect the financial performance and/or financial position of Carbonxt.

(i) Exchange rate risk

Carbonxt is exposed to movements in exchange rates. Financial statements are maintained in Australian dollars however for the foreseeable future the vast majority of Carbonxt's revenue and expenses will be denominated in US dollars. Adverse movements in the AUD/USD exchange rate may have an adverse effect on the financial performance and/ or financial position of Carbonxt.

(j) Brand establishment and maintenance

Carbonxt believes that establishing and maintaining its brand in the industry is critical to growing its proposed customer base and product acceptance. This will depend largely on the effectiveness of its products and processes. Carbonxt must also maintain and support its existing customer relationships to maintain its brand and attract further customers. Prior to entering into supply agreements, Carbonxt is required to undertake vigorous testing of its Activated Carbon solutions. If these tests are unsuccessful, Carbonxt's brand, its business and operating results could be adversely affected.

Refer to Section 4 for further details.

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by Carbonxt and you should refer to the additional risk factors in Section 4 of this Prospectus before deciding whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

You should read this Prospectus carefully and in its entirety, including Section 4, before deciding whether to apply for New Securities. If you are in doubt as to the course you should follow, you should consult your licensed financial adviser, accountant, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser. The Securities offered by this Prospectus should be considered highly speculative.

If you are an Eligible Shareholder and you inadvertently use the same "Customer Reference Number" for more than one of your Entitlements, you will be deemed to have applied for only your Entitlement to which that "Customer Reference Number" applies and any excess amount will be treated as an Application for New Securities under the Top-Up Facility.

Application Forms and/or Application Payments received after the Closing Date may not be accepted, subject to the Directors' absolute discretion.

2.8 Application is binding

Receipt of Application Payment by BPAY, or of Application Payment by cheque / electronic funds transfer and a completed and lodged Application Form, constitutes a binding acceptance of the Company's Offer of New Securities on the Terms of the Offer and an acknowledgement by the Applicant that it has received and read this Prospectus, it has acted in accordance with the Terms of the Offer, and that it agrees to all of the Terms of the Offer.

Each Application, once lodged, cannot be withdrawn.

The Application does not need to be signed to be binding. If an Application Form is not completed correctly or if there is a discrepancy between the Application Payment made and the Application Form submitted, the Company, in its absolute discretion, can reject the Application or treat it as valid, whether in whole or in part. The Company's decision as to whether to accept or reject an Application (in whole or in part) or how to interpret an incorrectly completed Application Form is final.

2.9

Application Payment

The Company is entitled to retain any interest paid on any Application Payment, whether or not allotment and issue of the New Securities takes place. If quotation of the New Shares is not granted by the ASX within the time required by law, no New Securities will be allotted and Application Payments will be refunded to Applicants without interest within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act.

2.10

Your completed Application Form and payment must reach the Share Registry no later than the Closing Date, which is currently 5.00pm (Sydney time) on Wednesday, 16 June 2021.

P a g e | 17

If the Closing Date is varied, subsequent dates may also be varied accordingly. Unless the Company decides to accept late Applications or extend the Closing Date, Applications received after 5.00pm (Sydney time) on Wednesday, 16 June 2021 be rejected and those Application Payments refunded without interest.

2.11 Brokerage, commission and stamp duty

No brokerage, commission or stamp duty is payable by Applicants under the Offer.

2.12

Top-Up Facility

Eligible Shareholders may apply for additional New Securities in excess of their Entitlements at the same price as under the Rights Issue ( Top-Up Facility ).

Eligible Shareholders wishing to subscribe for New Securities under the Top-Up Facility must apply for them at the same time as they apply for New Securities under their Entitlements by completing the Application Form in accordance with the instructions set out in that form.

The Company may treat amounts it receives in excess of the Offer Price multiplied by your Entitlement as an Application to apply for as many additional New Securities under the Top-Up Facility as will be paid in full from the excess amounts.

The Company cannot guarantee that all Eligible Shareholders will receive the number of New Securities applied for, as Applications under the Top-Up Facility will only be satisfied to the extent there is a shortfall under the Offer. Should such applications exceed the number of New Securities available, the Directors propose to scale back such applications on a pro-rata equal basis. If an Eligible Shareholder does not receive any or all of the New Securities applied for, the excess Application Payments will be returned to the Eligible Shareholder without interest.

No New Securities will be issued to a party under the Top-Up Facility if the effect would be to increase that party's voting power in the Company to an amount greater than 19.99%.

2.13

Offer partially underwritten

Any New Securities offered under the Rights Issue (including under the Top-Up Facility) that are not taken up by Eligible Shareholders will form the Shortfall Securities.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement (for further information see Section 5.4), the Shortfall Securities are partially underwritten by Chaleyer Holdings Pty Ltd ( Underwriter ) to the amount of $1,000,000 ( Underwritten Amount ).

Subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, if:

  • (a) no applications are received for the New Securities under the Rights Issue (including under the Top-Up Facility), the Underwriter will be required to subscribe for the amount of New Shares and New Options offered under the Rights Issue up to the Underwritten Amount;

  • (b) applications are received for New Securities under the Rights Issue (including under the Top-Up Facility), but the Shortfall Securities represent the same amount as or more than the Underwritten Amount, the Underwriters will be required to subscribe for the amount of New Shares and New Options offered under the Rights Issue up to the Underwritten Amount; or

  • (c) subscriptions are received for New Securities under the Rights Issue (including under the Top-Up Facility), but the Shortfall Securities represent less than the Underwritten Amount, the Underwriter will be required to subscribe for all Shortfall Securities.

P a g e | 18

2.14 Allotment of New Securities and Official Quotation of New Options

Allotment and issue of New Securities will only be made once the Application Payments have been received and the ASX has granted permission for quotation of the New Shares.

If such permission is granted, it is expected the New Securities will be allotted pursuant to the Offer on Tuesday, 22 June 2021 and holding statements for such New Securities will be despatched on Thursday, 24 June 2021.

In the event that the Company receives sufficient applications to meet the requirements for quotation of a second class of securities under the ASX Listing Rules, the Company will make application for Official Quotation of the New Options offered pursuant to the Offer in accordance with the timetable set out on page 5 of this Prospectus. If ASX does not grant Official Quotation of the New Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus before the expiration of 3 months after the date of issue of this Prospectus (or such period as varied by ASIC), the New Options will remain on issue as unquoted Options.

The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation to the Options is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus.

It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine their allocation of New Securities prior to trading in the New Securities. Applicants who sell New Securities before they receive their holding statement do so at their own risk.

2.15 CHESS

Under CHESS, Applicants will not receive a certificate but will receive a statement of their holding of New Securities. If an Applicant is broker sponsored, a CHESS statement will be issued to that Applicant which sets out the number of New Securities issued under this Prospectus, provides details of the Applicant's holder identification number and the participant identification number of the sponsor. If an Applicant is registered in the Company's issuer sponsored sub register, its statement will be despatched by the Share Registry and will contain the number of New Securities issued to it under this Prospectus and its security holder reference number.

2.16 Risks

Investors should carefully read the risk factors in Sections 1.3 and 4 of this Prospectus. An investment in New Securities involves various risks, a number of which are specific to the Carbonxt and the industry in which it operates.

An investment in New Securities should be regarded as highly speculative.

2.17 Taxation

It is the responsibility of all Applicants to satisfy themselves of the particular tax consequences that apply to them, by consulting their own professional financial and taxation advisers. Neither the Carbonxt nor any of its officers, employees or agents, nor its taxation or other advisers accepts any liability or responsibility in respect of taxation consequences connected with the Offer.

2.18 Professional advice

If you are in any doubt as to what to do in relation to the Offer, you should seek professional advice from a licensed financial adviser, accountant, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser before deciding whether to invest in the Company.

Purpose and effect of the Offer on the Company

3

3.1 Purpose of the Offer

The purpose of the Offer is to support the development of Activated Carbon pellets and to fund general working capital.

3.2 Use of funds

If the Offer is fully subscribed, the Company's present intention is to use the funds raised under the Offer (from payment of the Offer Price) as follows:

Development of Activated Carbon pellets $1,250,000.00
Expenses of the Offer $129,920
Working capital $676,713
Total $2,056,633

At this stage, the Company intends to apply funds raised from payment of the Exercise Price for the development of its Activated Carbon pellets and for working capital purposes.

This is a statement of present intention only. The Company and the Directors reserve the right to change the way and the proportion in which funds are applied, particularly if the Offer is not fully subscribed or if not all of the New Options are exercised.

There is no minimum subscription under the Offer and no guarantee that the Offer will raise an adequate or sufficient level of funds to enable the Company to achieve its stated objectives.

3.3 Effect on capital structure of the Company

The table below sets out the effect of the Offer on the capital structure of the Company, assuming that:

  • (a) the Offer is fully subscribed; and

  • (b) no other Shares or Options are issued between the date of this Prospectus and completion of the Offer.

Number %
Shares
Existing Shares on issue at the
date of this Prospectus
150,819,775 91.67%
PLUS: New Shares 13,710,889 8.33%
Total 164,530,664 100%
Options
Existing unlisted Options on
issue as at the date of this
Prospectus
6,875,000 50.07%
PLUS: New Options 6,855,444 49.93%

P a g e | 20

Total 13,730,444 100.00%
Warrants
Existing warrants on issue as at
the date of this Prospectus
9,166,670 100.00%

The capital structure on a fully diluted basis as at the date of this Prospectus would be 166,861,445 Shares (assuming all Options and warrants on issue are exercised) and on completion of the Offer (assuming all New Securities are taken up and all Options and warrants on issue are exercised) would be 187,427,778 Shares.

The Company's actual position on completion of the Offer may differ from the position illustrated in the pro-forma capital structure table above if the Offer is not fully subscribed.

If the Offer is not fully subscribed, fewer New Securities will be issued (and, consequently, fewer Shares which could be issued on exercise of those New Options) than shown in the table above. After the Closing Date, the Company will announce to the ASX the actual number of New Securities to be issued under the Offer.

3.4 Effect on shareholdings

  • (a) General

If an Eligible Shareholder takes up its full Entitlement, then it will not be diluted. If an Eligible Shareholder does not take up its full Entitlement, then it will be diluted. Shareholders who are not Eligible Shareholders will have their shareholdings diluted by the Offer.

The effect of the Offer on the control of the Company will depend upon a number of factors, including:

  • (i) the level of Shareholder participation in the Offer;

  • (ii) which Shareholders participate;

  • (iii) the extent to which New Options are exercised; and

  • (iv) the number of Shortfall Securities issued to the Underwriter.

As the New Options do no confer any voting rights on their holders, the issue of the New Options under the Offer will, of itself, have no effect on the control of the Company. However, the issue of Shares on the exercise of New Options could have an effect on the control of the Company.

If every Eligible Shareholder was to take up its full Entitlement and exercised its New Options at the same time, there would be a minimal effect on the control of the Company, as the Rights Issue is made pro-rata.

(b) Substantial holdings

A “substantial holding” is defined under section 9 of the Corporations Act to mean a relevant interest in 5% or more of the voting shares in a company. The table below sets out the Shareholder with a substantial holding based on the Company’s register of Shareholders as at the date of this Prospectus.

Shareholder Shareholding at Record Date Shareholding at Record Date
**Number ** %
National Nominees Limited 14,303,680 9.48%

(c) llustration of dilutive effect

P a g e | 21

Shareholders who do not participate in the Offer will have their Shareholding diluted.

The table below illustrates the dilutive effect assuming that:

  • (i) each example Shareholder does not take up its Entitlement;

  • (ii) each example Shareholder's Entitlement is subscribed for under the Top-Up Facility or by the Underwriter;

  • (iii) the Offer is fully subscribed;

  • (iv) no New Options or existing Options or warrants are exercised; and

  • (v) no Shares or Options are issued other than pursuant to the Offer between the date of this Prospectus and completion of the Offer.

4 5,000,000 3.32% 5,000,000 5,000,000 3.04%

3.5 Effect on control of the Company

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Underwriter holds 2,500,000 Shares in the Company, representing 1.66% of the total issued capital in the Company on an undiluted basis. As the Underwriter is likely to be an Eligible Shareholder, it will be eligible to participate in the Rights Issue and the Top-Up Facility in addition to being able to subscribe for New Securities in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement.

Even if the Underwriter subscribes for all New Securities offered pursuant this Prospectus, its voting power in the Company will not exceed 20% both on an undiluted basis and on a diluted basis (assuming that the Underwriter exercises all New Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus upon completion of the Offer), which is illustrated in the table below:

Number of Securities
Existing Shares held by the Underwriter 2,500,000
New Shares acquired by the Underwriter pursuant to
the Prospectus
13,710,899
New Options acquired by the Underwriter pursuant to

Shares held by the Underwriter upon completion of the

On a diluted basis
Shares held by the Underwriter upon completion of the
Offer
23,066,333 13.46%

|||P ag e | 22|P ag e | 22|
|---|---|---|---|
|||||
||Total Shares on issue upon completion of the Offer|171,386,108|100%|

Based on current shareholding and Entitlements of Shareholders (including substantial Shareholders) as at the date of this Prospectus, regardless of the amount raised under the Offer, no Shareholder will increase their holding, to an amount in excess of 19.99% through applying for their Entitlements. Also, as set out in Section 2.12, no person will acquire a voting power that exceeds 19.99% through participation in the Top-Up Facility.

Further there is no change to any Shareholder's voting power as a result of the issue of New Options. Where New Options are exercised into Shares, the voting power of the Shareholder who exercised the New Options will increase. The likelihood of New Options being exercised is dependent on the price of the Shares from time to time until the New Options expire.

3.6 Prohibition on exceeding 20% voting power threshold

New Option holders must have regard to and comply with the takeovers prohibition in section 606 of the Corporations Act (that is, the 20% voting power threshold) ( Section 606 ), when exercising New Options granted under this Prospectus.

The Company expressly disclaims any responsibility for ensuring that New Option holders do not breach Section 606 as a result of the exercise of the New Options.

If New Option holders may be at risk of breaching Section 606 as a result of the exercise of New Options, the choices available to them include:

  • (a) selling their New Options off market or on market if ASX grants Official Quotation of the New Options;

  • (b) selling some or all of their Shares prior to exercising any New Options held by them; or

  • (c) relying on another exemption from the takeovers prohibition in section 611 of the Corporations Act (such as the 3% creep exemption in item 9 of that section).

If a New Option holder may be at risk of exceeding the 20% voting power threshold in Section 606 or increasing their voting power from a position above 20% as a result of the acquisition of Shares following exercise of New Options, New Option holders should seek professional advice before exercising New Options.

3.7 Effect on financial position of the Company

Set out below is the:

  • (a) audited balance sheet of the Company as at 30 June 2020 and reviewed balance sheet at 31 December 2020; and

  • (b) unaudited pro forma balance sheet of the Company as at 31 December 2020 incorporating the effect of the Offer, assuming that all New Securities were taken up.

The unaudited pro forma balance sheet has been derived from the reviewed financial statements of the Company, for the six months ended 31 December 2020, and adjusted to reflect pro forma assets and liabilities of the Company as if completion of the Offer had occurred by 31 December 2020, and also for material adjustments noted below.

The pro forma balance sheet has been adjusted for the following material movements in the assets and liabilities of the Company between 31 December 2020 and the date of this Prospectus:

  • (c) a placement to issue 18,750,000 Shares at $0.16 each, to sophisticated and professional investors to raise $3,000,000 (before costs);

  • (d) the issue of 2,200,000 Shares at deemed issue price of $0.16 each, to a counterparty of an agreement in relation to the early termination of that agreement; and

P a g e | 23

  • (e) a placement to issue 9,000,000 Shares at $0.15 each, to institutional and sophisticated investors to raise $1,350,000 (before costs).

In addition, an allowance has not been made for expenditure incurred in the normal course of business from 31 December 2020 to the date of this Prospectus.

The pro-forma information is presented in an abbreviated form. It does not include all of the disclosures required by the Australian Accounting Standards applicable to annual financial statements.

Risk Factors

4

4.1 Introduction

The Securities offered under this Prospectus are considered highly speculative. An investment in the Company is not risk free and the Directors strongly recommend potential investors to consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus, before deciding whether to apply for Securities and to consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

There are specific risks which relate directly to the Carbonxt’s business. In addition, there are other general risks, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The risks identified in this Section, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the financial performance of the Carbonxt and the market price of the Shares and the value of the New Options.

The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Carbonxt is exposed. The types of risks the Carbonxt is exposed to can change over time and vary with changes in economic, technological, environmental and regulatory conditions both generally within the retail industry and within the e-Commerce and internet sector specifically.

4.2 Risks specific to Carbonxt

(a) Additional capital requirements

As Carbonxt's business grows and new customers are acquired, Carbonxt will require additional funding to support its growth. Although capital raised under the Offer would allow Carbonxt to continue its operations until the foreseeable future, Carbonxt may require additional funding. The Company has limited financial resources at this point and may need to raise additional funds from time to time in certain circumstances. The Company's ability to raise funds will be subject to factors beyond the control of the Company and its Directors including cyclical factors affecting the economy and financial and share markets generally. If the Company raises funds by issuing Shares (as its present intention), the issue of Shares will dilute ownership of Shareholders.

(b) Ability to retain existing clients and attract new clients

Carbonxt’s business depends on its ability to retain existing customers, together with its ability to attract further business from existing customers or attract new customers.

Whilst Carbonxt endeavours to enter into long term contracts with utilities for the supply of its products, Carbonxt does not generally require customers to enter long, fixed term contracts requiring minimum product supply or minimum time commitments. There is a risk that customers reduce their usage of Carbonxt’s products in the future, or do not renew contracts upon their expiry.

The loss of existing customers or the inability to attract new customers would have an adverse impact on the financial position of Carbonxt.

(c) Regulatory risk

Carbonxt is heavily reliant on US environmental policies and regulation. One of Carbonxt’s primary market opportunities results from EPA's Mercury Air Toxic Standards regulations that came into force in April 2016 to tightly regulate the emission of mercury released through the burning of coal. Any change to or reversal of current Mercury Air Toxic Standards legislation would have a significant negative effect on Carbonxt’s business model and financial performance.

(d) Intellectual property risk

P a g e | 26

Carbonxt relies heavily on its technology and know-how and there can be no assurance that competitors of Carbonxt or other parties will not seek to imitate or develop technology and know-how that competes with Carbonxt or supersedes Carbonxt’s technology. The unauthorised use or disclosure of its intellectual property may have an adverse effect on the operating, marketing and financial performance of Carbonxt which could erode Carbonxt’s competitive advantage. Carbonxt cannot be certain that others will not independently develop the same or similar technologies on their own or gain access to trade secrets or disclose such technology, or that Carbonxt will be able to meaningfully protect its trade secrets and unpatented know-how and keep them secret. There is an inherent risk with any licensed technology that the license may be terminated in accordance with its terms or the patent invalidated by a third party.

Certain employment and consultancy agreements with key executives do not contain provisions with respect to the assignment of existing and future intellectual property rights in inventions or designs, among other things.

Patent rights

The Company relies on its ability to obtain and maintain adequate and valid patent protection of its products and to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties or having third parties circumvent Carbonxt’s rights.

Carbon’s patent portfolio comprises seven current US granted patents and eleven patent applications pending, two in Australia and four in Canada. While the Directors believe that Carbonxt’s current patent applications will be successful, no guarantee can be given that such protection will be successfully and validly obtained by Carbonxt, nor does the grant of a patent guarantee that the patent concerned is valid or that the patented technology does not infringe the rights of others. If the patents are not granted, it may be possible for a third party to imitate or otherwise obtain and use Carbonxt’s technology without authorisation or to develop and use similar technology independently. While Carbonxt believes it has taken appropriate steps to protect its proprietary technology, the law may not adequately protect it in all places that Carbonxt does business, or enable Carbonxt’s rights to be enforced with any adequacy.

Trade secrets

In addition to its patent and licensing activities, Carbonxt also regards its trade secrets, trademarks, domain names and similar intellectual property as important to its success. The measures that Carbonxt employs to protect its intellectual property rights may not always be sufficient to protect its trade secrets. The unauthorised use or disclosure of its intellectual property may have an adverse effect on the operating, marketing and financial performance of Carbonxt which could erode Carbonxt’s competitive advantage.

Carbonxt cannot be certain that others will not independently develop the same or similar technologies on their own or gain access to trade secrets or disclose such technology, or that Carbonxt will be able to meaningfully protect its trade secrets and unpatented knowhow and keep them secret.

Infringement of Company or third party intellectual property rights

The Company is not aware of any material violation or infringement of its trademarks and the intellectual property rights of others. However, there can be no assurance that in the future, Carbonxt will not inadvertently infringe the intellectual property rights of others, or be subjected to infringement claims or litigation arising out of patents and pending applications of its competitors, or additional proceedings initiated by third parties or the United States Patent and Trademark Office ( USPTO ) to re-examine the patentability of licenses or owned patents. Although no litigation is current or threatened by or against Carbonxt, in the future litigation may be necessary to enforce Carbonxt’s issued patents, licences, to protect its trade secrets and know-how, or to determine the enforceability, scope and validity of the proprietary rights of others.

The defence and prosecution of intellectual property suits, USPTO proceedings, and related legal and administrative proceedings are expensive and time consuming and may divert valuable resources from and disrupt the conduct of its business. Further, Carbonxt

P a g e | 27

may not be successful in its infringement claims which will lead to a drain on its financial resources. Adverse determinations in such litigation could result in loss of proprietary rights or subject Carbonxt to significant liabilities, which could impact upon Carbonxt’s financial performance.

(e) Reliance on key personnel

The Company currently employs, or engages as consultants, several key management and scientific personnel. The Company’s success is dependent upon a number of highly qualified and experienced personnel and a stable workforce. In particular, the senior management team has accumulated a significant number of years’ experience. The Company’s future will be dependent upon the continued performance, efforts, abilities and expertise of its key management personnel. While Carbonxt has in place long term service contracts, there can be no assurance that Carbonxt will be able to retain its key personnel or attract other suitably qualified personnel in the future, if required. Certain contracts with key executives of Carbonxt do not contain standard intellectual property assignment provisions or provisions regarding the protection of confidential information. There is a risk that Carbonxt's intellectual property is not protected under these contracts. The inability to attract and retain the necessary technical and managerial personnel could have a material and adverse effect upon Carbonxt’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

(f) Competitive & dynamic market

The Company operates in a changing market for Activated Carbon primarily driven by the US EPA regulations. This emerging market may provide existing or new competitors with stimulus to increase competitive pressure through technological advancements, volume increases or pricing and other strategies. Any significant advancements in technology for producing Activated Carbon have the potential to change the competitive environment in which Carbonxt intends to operate.

The entry of additional competitors in the Activated Carbon market could result in reduced operating margins and loss of market share. Such occurrences could adversely affect Carbonxt’s operating and financial performance. Additionally, there is also a risk that a competitor could develop similar or more advanced technology or develop and market new products in a way that creates extensive competition for Carbonxt. Where this occurs, it could increase Carbonxt’s research and development costs, decrease the value of its products and reduce the future profitability of Carbonxt.

In addition to the above, changes to tariffs, quotas and other regulations dealing with import tariffs could have a material adverse effect on the competitiveness of Carbonxt’s product.

(g) Offshore operations

The Company is listed in Australia, but for the foreseeable future will have its manufacturing, research and development, and marketing efforts located in the US. The Company has operated in the US for some time and the majority of its employees are located in the US.

Given the global nature of the coal-fired generation business and the United Nations initiatives in respect of mercury capture, Carbonxt’s activities may in the future extend to other countries. Geographic diversity adds risk to the ability of Carbonxt to manage its operations and employees. As a result, Carbonxt is also subject to risks relating to the general economic, regulatory, legal, social and political environment in the jurisdictions in which it intends to operate.

Accordingly, Carbonxt’s business, financial conditions and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by factors specific to investing in these jurisdictions. The Directors intend to obtain all necessary formal sign-offs prior to commencement of operations in any foreign jurisdiction to ensure compliance with local laws and are not aware of any legal impediments to the conduct of business in any jurisdiction that Carbonxt is likely to operate in as at the date of this Prospectus.

P a g e | 28

(h) Safety and industrial accidents

The production of Carbonxt’s products is subject to safety related risks, which is being managed carefully by Carbonxt. Despite the relevant safety guards there is no guarantee a serious accident will not occur in the future. A serious accident may negatively affect the financial performance and/or financial position of Carbonxt.

(i) Exchange rate risk

The Company is exposed to movements in exchange rates. Financial statements are maintained in Australian dollars however for the foreseeable future the vast majority of Carbonxt's revenue and expenses will be denominated in US dollars. Adverse movements in the AUD/USD exchange rate may have an adverse effect on the financial performance and/ or financial position of The Company. The Directors will implement foreign exchange hedging policies for Carbonxt as considered.

(j)

Brand establishment and maintenance

The Company believes that establishing and maintaining its brand in the industry is critical to growing its proposed customer base and product acceptance. This will depend largely on the effectiveness of its products and processes. The Company must also maintain and support its existing customer relationships to maintain its brand and attract further customers. As noted earlier, prior to entering into supply agreements, Carbonxt is required to undertake vigorous testing of its Activated Carbon solutions. If these tests are unsuccessful, Carbonxt's brand, its business and operating results could be adversely affected.

(k) Product liability and uninsured risks

The Company is exposed to potential product liability risks, which are inherent in the research and development, manufacturing, marketing and use of its products or products that are developed in the future.

Whilst Carbonxt has liability insurance to help manage such risks, Carbonxt may not be able to maintain insurance for product or service liability on reasonable terms in the future and, or Carbonxt’s insurance may not be sufficient to cover large claims, or the insurer could disclaim coverage on claims.

Although Carbonxt endeavours to work to rigorous standards, there is still the potential for its products to contain defects that may result in damage to customers’ systems in turn causing a financial or reputational loss. For Carbonxt, these defects or problems could result in the loss of or delay in generating revenue, loss of market share, failure to achieve market acceptance, injury to Carbonxt’s reputation or increased insurance costs. If Carbonxt fails to meet its customers’ expectations, Carbonxt’s reputation could suffer and it could be liable for damages.

The Company gives no assurance that all such risks will be adequately managed through its insurance policies to ensure that such loss does not have an adverse effect on its performance.

4.3 Risks associated with the Offer

(a) Value of New Options

The New Options that are issued as part of the Offer are issued for nil issue price and require the Exercise Price of $0.24 per New Option to be paid at the time of exercise. If the prevailing trading price of Shares is lower than the Exercise Price, then it is likely that the New Options will not be exercised. In this case, for investors, the unexercised New Options will not have value and will lapse on the expiry date of the New Options.

If the New Options are not exercised, or only some of the New Options are exercised, then Carbonxt may not receive the proceeds that would otherwise be generated if New Option holders pay the Exercise Price. This possibility may reduce the amount of capital

P a g e | 29

that Carbonxt would receive if all of the New Options are exercised on or before the expiry date of the New Options.

(b) Liquidity

The market for Shares may be illiquid.

The Company will seek Official Quotation of the New Options, subject to satisfying the quotation conditions of the ASX Listing Rules. Even if ASX grants Official Quotation of the New Options, the market for the Options may be illiquid. If ASX does not grant Official Quotation of the New Options, the New Options will not be listed on ASX, and therefore will not be trading on a liquid market.

4.4 General risk factors

The future operations of Carbonxt may be affected by a range of factors, including the below general risk factors.

(a) General equity market risks

There can be no certainty that, following listing, an active market in the Shares will develop. In addition, Shares may trade on the ASX at a discount or premium to the Offer Price. The price at which Shares trade on the ASX may be affected by a number of factors, including the financial and operating performance of Carbonxt and external factors over which Carbonxt and its Directors have no control.

These external factors include actual, expected and perceived general economic conditions, changes in government policy or regulation, significant events such as natural disasters or acts of terrorism, investor attitudes, changes in taxation, movements in interest rates, movements in stock markets, and general conditions in the markets in which Carbonxt will operate.

In addition, investors should consider the historical volatility of Australian and overseas share markets.

(b) General economic conditions

Factors such as inflation, interest rates, levels of tax, taxation law and accounting practices, government legislation or intervention, natural disasters, social upheaval, and war may have an impact on prices, operating costs and market conditions generally. Accordingly, Carbonxt’s future revenue and operations can be affected by these factors which are beyond the control of Carbonxt.

Revenue and expenditure of Carbonxt may be affected by changes in international, federal, state, or local government laws, regulations or policies, or in taxation legislation. Government legislation and policies are subject to review and change from time to time. Such changes are likely to be beyond the control of Carbonxt and may affect industry profitability.

Factors beyond the control of the Directors that could affect the revenues and value of Carbonxt include, but are not limited to, inflation, currency fluctuation, interest rates, supply and demand of relevant inputs and outputs and industrial disruption.

(c) Absence of dividends

The ability of Carbonxt to pay any dividend in the future is dependent on many factors including Carbonxt's ability to generate sufficient revenue. Many of the factors that will affect Carbonxt’s ability to pay dividends and the timing of those dividends will be outside the control of Carbonxt and its Directors. The Directors cannot give any assurance regarding the payment of dividends in the future.

(d) Geopolitical factors

P a g e | 30

The Company may be affected by the impact that geopolitical factors have on the world, US or Australian economies or on financial markets and investments generally or specifically, and governmental responses to such activities. These may include but are not limited to acts of terrorism, an outbreak of international hostilities, fires, floods, earthquakes, labour strikes, civil wars, natural disasters, outbreaks of disease or other natural or man-made events or occurrences that can have an adverse effect on the demand for Carbonxt’s products and the ability of Carbonxt to conduct business. The Company has only a limited ability to insure against some of these risks.

(e) Shareholder dilution

The Company in the future, may wish to elect to issue shares or engage in capital raisings. While Carbonxt will be subject to constraints, Shareholders at the time may be diluted as a result of such issues of shares and capital raisings.

(f) Litigation

In the ordinary course of business, Carbonxt may be involved in litigation disputes from time to time. Litigation disputes brought by third parties including, but not limited to customers, suppliers, business partners, employees and government bodies may adversely impact the financial performance and industry standing of the business, in the case where the impact of legal proceedings is greater than or outside the scope of Carbonxt’s insurance. Such litigation could negatively impact the industry standing of Carbonxt, cause Carbonxt to incur unforeseen expenses, occupy a significant amount of Company management's time and attention and could negatively affect Carbonxt's business operations and financial position.

As at the date of the Prospectus, the Directors are not aware of any legal proceedings pending or threatened against or no material legal proceedings affecting Carbonxt.

- (g) Force majeure events (including COVID 19 pandemic)

Events may occur within or outside Australia or the US that could impact upon Carbonxt and the value of shares. These events include but are not limited to acts of terrorism, an outbreak of international hostilities, fires, floods, earthquakes, labour strikes, civil wars, natural disasters, outbreaks of disease or other natural or man-made events or occurrences that can have an adverse effect on the demand for Carbonxt’s products and its ability to conduct business. The Company only has a limited ability to insure against some of these risks.

In particular, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing and it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact of the pandemic on the Carbonxt's financial performance after the reporting date. The situation is dependent on the efficacy and long term performance of COVID-19 vaccines and measures imposed by the Australian and US governments and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and any economic stimulus that may be provided.

The Board is monitoring the situation closely and will continue to expenditure levels and the financial position of the Carbonxt and growth opportunities that may be available to the business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

(h) Unforeseen risk

There may be other risks of which the Directors are unaware at the time of issuing this Prospectus which may impact Carbonxt, its operations and/or the valuation and performance of Shares. The above list of key risks ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by Carbonxt or by investors in Carbonxt. The above risks and others not specifically referred to above may in the future materially affect Carbonxt, its financial performance or the value of Shares.

4.5 Investment speculative

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Carbonxt or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred

P a g e | 31

to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Carbonxt and the value of the Securities offered under this Prospectus.

Therefore, the Securities to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Securities.

Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is highly speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

P a g e | 32

The Company is a disclosing entity for the purpose of the Corporations Act. As such, it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations.

The Underwriting Agreement contains a number of common conditions precedent that the Company must satisfy, such as:

5.5 Rights attaching to Shares (including Shares issued on exercise of the New Options)

The following is a summary of the more significant rights attaching to Shares. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice.

Full details of the rights attaching to Shares are set out in the Company's constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.

(a) General meetings

Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy or attorney to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.

Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249D of the Corporations Act.

(b) Voting rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares, at general meetings of Shareholders or classes of Shareholders:

  • (i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy or attorney;

  • (ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a representative of a Shareholder has one vote in respect of each Share carrying the right to vote; and

  • (iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for the Share, but in respect of partly paid Shares shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such Shares registered in the Shareholder’s name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).

(c) Dividend rights

The Directors alone may declare a dividend to be paid to Shareholders. The dividend is payable at a time determined according to the discretion of the Directors. No dividend may be declared or paid except as allowed by the Corporations Act. No interest is payable in respect of unpaid dividends. The Directors may set aside of the Company’s profit any amount that they consider appropriate. This amount may be used in any way that profits can be used, and can be invested or used in the Company’s business in the interim.

- (d) Winding up

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, divide among the shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.

The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any Shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.

P a g e | 35

(e) Shareholder liability

As the New Shares and all Shares issued on exercise of the New Options issued pursuant to the Prospectus will be fully paid Shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.

(f) Transfer of Shares

Generally, Shares are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules.

  • (g) Variation of rights

Pursuant to section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders, vary or abrogate the rights attaching to Shares.

If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of Shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three-quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

(h) Alteration of constitution

The Company's constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. In addition, at least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

5.6 Terms of and rights attaching to New Options

  • (a) Entitlement: Subject to and conditional upon any adjustment in accordance with these conditions, each New Option entitles the holder to subscribe for one Share upon exercise of the New Option.

  • (c) Expiry Date: Each New Option will expire at 5.00pm (Sydney time) on Wednesday, 21 June 2023, being 24 months from the issue date ( Expiry Date ). A New Option not exercised before the Expiry Date will automatically lapse on the Expiry Date.

  • (d) Exercise Period: The New Options are exercisable at any time from the date of their issue until the Expiry Date ( Exercise Period ).

  • (e) Notice of Exercise: The New Options may be exercised during the Exercise Period by notice in writing to the Company in the manner specified on the Option certificate ( Notice of Exercise ) and payment of the Exercise Price for each New Option being exercised in Australian currency by electronic funds transfer or other means of payment acceptable to the Company.

  • (f) Exercise Date: A Notice of Exercise is only effective on and from the later of the date of receipt of the Notice of Exercise and the date of receipt of the payment of the Exercise Price for each New Option being exercised in cleared funds ( Exercise Date ).

  • (g) Timing of issue of Shares on exercise: Within 20 Business Days after the Exercise Date, the Company will:

P a g e | 36

  • (i) allot and issue the number of Shares required under these terms and conditions in respect of the number of New Options specified in the Notice of Exercise and for which the Exercise Price has been received by the Company in cleared funds; and

  • (ii) if admitted to the official list of ASX at the time, apply for Official Quotation of Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the New Options.

  • (h) Shares issued on exercise: Shares issued on exercise of the New Options rank equally with the then issued Shares of the Company.

  • (j) Quoted: The Company will seek Official Quotation of the New Options, subject to satisfying the quotation conditions of the ASX Listing Rules. If ASX does not grant Official Quotation of the New Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus before the expiration of 3 months after the date of issue of this Prospectus (or such period as varied by ASIC), the New Options will remain on issue as unquoted Options.

  • (k) Reconstruction of capital: If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reconstructed, all rights of a holder of New Options are to be changed in a manner consistent with the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules at the time of the reconstruction.

  • (l) Participation in new issues: There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the New Options and holders of New Options will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the New Options without exercising the New Options.

  • (m) Change in exercise price / number of Shares: A New Option does not confer the right to a change in the Exercise Price or a change in the number of underlying securities over which the New Option can be exercised.

  • (n) Transferability: The New Options are transferable subject to any restriction or escrow arrangements imposed by the ASX or under applicable Australian securities laws.
