IMPORTANT INFORMATION

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES

This Offer Booklet is dated 31 July 2024 and the contracts which arise on the acceptance of applications received under it are governed by the laws applicable in New South Wales, Australia and, accordingly, each applicant submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales in this regard. Neither ASX nor ASIC take any responsibility for the contents of this Offer Booklet. Coolingoff rights do not apply to an investment in New Shares. This means that applicants cannot withdraw their application for New Shares once it has been received by the Company.

The Entitlement Offer is not being conducted under an Australian prospectus or other form of disclosure document. Instead, the Company is relying on certain provisions in Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Corporations Act ) that allow the Company to conduct the Entitlement Offer in Australia without a prospectus or other form of disclosure document following the provision of certain confirmations to the market.

In the light of the above, it is important for Eligible Shareholders to read and understand the information on the Company and in relation to the Entitlement Offer, prior to accepting some or all of their Entitlement. In particular, Eligible Shareholders should refer to and consider the information in this Offer Booklet and in the Company’s continuous and periodic disclosures made available on the Company’s website at www.clueylearning.com.au or on ASX at www.asx.com.au (ASX: CLU).

This Offer Booklet contains ‘forward-looking statements’. Forward-looking statements include those statements that contain words such as: ‘anticipate’, ‘believe’, ‘expect’, ‘forecast’, ‘estimate’, ‘likely’, ‘intend’, ‘should’, ‘could’, ‘may’, ‘target’, ‘plan’, ‘aim’, ‘will’ and other similarly ‘forward-looking’ expressions. Any forward-looking statement, opinion and/or estimate included in this Offer Booklet is based on assumptions and contingencies which are subject to change and which involve (or are dependent upon the non-occurrence of) various known risks (such as those described in Schedule 1) and other uncertainties. Many of these risks and uncertainties are beyond the control of the Company.

Forward-looking statements are provided as a general guide only and should not be relied upon as an indication or guarantee of future performance. Actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement. Readers are cautioned therefore not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement and, except as required by law or regulation, the Company assumes no obligation to (and will not) update any forwardlooking statement. Furthermore, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company and its Directors, officers, employees, agents, associates and advisers (including the Lead Manager) (i) expressly disclaim all responsibility and any liability (including in negligence) for any forwardlooking statement and (ii) make no representation or warranty, whether express or implied, as to the accuracy or reliability (including the likelihood of fulfilment) of any such statement.

The information in this Offer Booklet does not constitute an offer in any jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer. No action has been taken to register the Entitlement Offer, the Entitlements or the New Shares, or otherwise permit an offer of New Shares, in any jurisdiction other than Australia and New Zealand. Furthermore, this Offer Booklet must not be distributed or released in the United States. This Offer Booklet (and any material accompanying it) does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities in the United States. The New Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act of 1933 ( US Securities Act ) or the securities laws of any State or other jurisdiction of the United States. Entitlements may not be acquired and/or taken up by persons in the United States and the New Shares may not be offered or sold in the United States except in transactions exempt from, or not subject to the registration requirements of the US Securities Act and the securities laws of any applicable State or other jurisdiction of the United States.

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Introduction

The directors ( Directors ) of Cluey Ltd ACN 644 675 909 (ASX: CLU) ( Company ) are pleased to offer Eligible Shareholders (defined below) the opportunity to participate in the Company’s recently announced fully underwritten 3 for 4 non-renounceable entitlement offer of New Shares as set out in this offer booklet ( Offer Booklet ).

The offer set out in this Offer Booklet is available to all Shareholders who are, as at 7pm (Sydney time) on Monday, 29 July 2024 ( Record Date ), registered with an address in Australia or New Zealand and who can make (and by subscribing for New Shares in accordance with Section 2.2 or 2.3 will be deemed by the Company to have made) the representations set out in Section 2.6 (each, an Eligible Shareholder ).

Key details

The Company is giving Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to participate in the Company’s recently announced non-renounceable entitlement offer of new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (each, a New Share ) on the ratio of 3 New Shares for every 4 existing shares in the Company (each, a Share ) held on the Record Date ( Entitlement Offer ).

The offer price under the Entitlement Offer is $0.03 per New Share ( Offer Price ).

The funds raised under the Entitlement Offer will be used to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet and provide working capital to support the Company’s profitability and growth initiatives.

Please see the Company’s ASX release and investor presentation each dated (and given to ASX on) 24 July 2024 for further information in relation to the above noted proposed use of funds.

Offer Price

The Offer Price represents an approximately 15.25% discount to the 30-day volume weighted average price of Shares traded on ASX over the 30 Trading Days on which trades were recorded prior to the Announcement Date.

No Entitlements trading

Since the Entitlement Offer is ‘non-renounceable’, Entitlements are not tradeable on ASX or otherwise transferable by or between Eligible Shareholders. This means that you will not receive any value for any Entitlements that you do not take up.

Entitlement Offer Booklet | 1

Shortfall

New Shares that correspond to the number of Entitlements not taken up by Eligible Shareholders under the Entitlement Offer will form part of the ‘shortfall’ ( Shortfall )[6] .

Underwriting arrangements

The Entitlement Offer is being managed and partially underwritten by Gleneagle Securities (Aust) Pty Ltd ACN 136 930 526 ( Lead Manager ) in accordance with the terms of an underwriting agreement entered into by the Company and Gleneagle on 24 July 2024 ( Underwriting Agreement ).

Under the Underwriting Agreement, the Lead Manager has committed to subscribe, or procure subscriptions for, up to approximately $2.25 million of any Shortfall ( Underwritten Amount )[ 7] .

In addition to the above noted underwriting commitment, a number of the Company’s directors, senior executives and major Shareholders have committed to take up their Entitlement in full and have entered into sub-underwriting arrangements with the Lead Manager to apply for part of any Shortfall.

The above referred arrangements mean that any Shortfall up to the Underwritten Amount will, provided the Underwriting Agreement remains in full force and effect, be allocated to the Lead Manager (and/or to the Directors, senior executives and/or major Shareholders who have provided sub-underwriting commitments).

The extent and potential impact on the Company of these commitments is detailed in Section 1.6 and 1.7, respectively.

Please see Schedule 2 for a summary of the material terms of the Underwriting Agreement.

The fees payable to the Lead Manager are set out in Section 3.33.3. No fees are payable (whether by the Company or the Lead Manager) in respect of the above referred ‘firm in relief’ or sub-underwriting commitments.

Ineligible Shareholders

The Company will send details of the Entitlement Offer to each Ineligible Shareholder and advise each Ineligible Shareholder that they will not be offered New Shares under the Entitlement Offer.

6 Said differently, the ‘Shortfall’ (if any) will be equal to the total number of Entitlements issued under the Entitlement Offer (which number includes the total number of Entitlements that would have been issued to Ineligible Shareholders had those Shareholders been eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer) less the total number of Entitlements that are actually exercised by Eligible Shareholders.

7 When combined with the ‘firm in relief’ commitments detailed in Section 1.6, the Lead Manager’s commitment to underwrite the Underwritten Amount results in the Entitlement Offer being fully underwritten.

Entitlement Offer Booklet | 2

Concluding remarks

Further information in relation to the Entitlement Offer[8] and its expected impact on the Company is detailed in this Offer Booklet.

On behalf of the Directors and management team of the Company, I invite Eligible Shareholders to consider this investment opportunity carefully and, once again, thank you for your ongoing support of our Company.

Yours sincerely

Under the Entitlement Offer, Eligible Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for 3 New Shares (at the Offer Price of $0.03 per New Share) for every 4 Shares held at 7pm (Sydney time) on the Record Date. Fractional entitlements to New Shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole New Share.

Your Entitlement to New Shares is shown on your Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Details on how to accept your Entitlement (or part of it) are set out in Section 2. This Offer Booklet will be sent to Eligible Shareholders together with an Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

1.2 Size of the Entitlement Offer

The table below sets out the expected impact (subject to the effects of rounding) of the Entitlement Offer on the Company’s Share structure.

1.4 Pro forma balance sheet

The pro forma balance sheet set out in Schedule 3 shows the expected impact of the Entitlement Offer on the Company to give Eligible Shareholders information on the Company’s pro forma assets and liabilities. The pro forma balance sheet is presented in an abbreviated form, insofar as it does not include all the disclosures required by Australian (or international) Accounting Standards applicable to annual financial statements.

The pro forma balance sheet is based off the Company’s half year financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2023 and has been prepared on the basis of the Company’s normal accounting policies. The pro forma balance sheet is not intended to represent the Company’s actual financial position on completion of the Entitlement Offer and should be read together with the Company’s periodic and continuous disclosures.

1.5

No Entitlements trading

Since the Entitlement Offer is ‘non-renounceable’, Entitlements are not tradeable on ASX or otherwise transferable by or between Eligible Shareholders. This means that Eligible Shareholders will not receive any value for any Entitlements that that they do not take up.

10 Eligible Shareholders should note that the estimated expenditures referred to in the table in this Section 1.3 are subject to modification by the Company depending on a number of factors.

Entitlement Offer Booklet | 5

1.6 Underwriting and sub-underwriting positions

The Lead Manager, the following Shareholders (some of which are Directors) and other Exempt Investors (who are referred to in the table below as ‘others’) have given the Company the commitments under and in respect of their participation in the Entitlement Offer as detailed below.

Total 104,065,037 51.62% 109,301,495 41,908,681 151,210,176

The above noted underwriting, sub-underwriting and ‘firm in relief’ commitments, when taken together, result in all of the approximately $4.5 million sought by the Company under the Entitlement Offer being underwritten.

1.7 Potential effect on the control of the Company

As a consequence of the aggregate commitments given by various different participants (including the underwriting commitment given by the Lead Manager (an independent professional underwriter)), the Company does not expect the Entitlement Offer to have a material impact on the ‘control’ (as that term is defined in section 50AA of the Corporations Act) of the Company.

In the event that all Eligible Shareholders subscribe for their Entitlement in full (and therefore, there is no Shortfall), the proportionate interest of all Shareholders on completion of the Entitlement Offer will not change. In the event of a Shortfall however, the proportionate interests of the persons noted in Section 1.6 will increase. For example, in the unlikely event that no Eligible Shareholder (i.e. other than the Eligible Shareholders noted in Section 1.6) subscribes for any of their Entitlement, the Relevant Interests of those persons is expected to increase on completion of the Entitlement Offer as shown below.

11 Shareholders should note that the Lead Manager’s commitment under the Underwriting Agreement is an ‘underwriting’ commitment rather than a ‘firm in relief’ commitment. The Lead Manager’s total commitment is higher than the amount shown in this table.

As can be seen from the table above, in the unlikely event that no Eligible Shareholder (i.e. other than the Eligible Shareholders who have provided a commitment) subscribes for their any of their Entitlement, the Relevant Interests of Thorney, Perennial, Mr Rohald, Mr Gavshon and Mr Fordred are expected to increase (in percentage terms) by 4.52%, nil, 5.23%, nil% and 2.12%, respectively.

Eligible Shareholders should note that the Lead Manager will determine the manner in which any Shortfall is allocated between the various subunderwriters and may do so either by having regard to the proportions which each sub-underwriter’s sub-underwriting commitment bears to the total commitments of all sub-underwriters or in such other manner as the Lead Manager may, in its absolute discretions, determine (including, without limitation, by providing priority to those individual sub-underwriters that are existing Shareholders).

1.8 Entitlement Offer pursuant to section 708AA of the Corporations Act

The Entitlement Offer is being conducted by the Company in accordance with section 708AA of the Corporations Act which allows the Company to make the Entitlement Offer in Australia without a prospectus or other form of disclosure document provided certain statutory conditions are satisfied.

This Offer Booklet is not a prospectus or other form of disclosure document under the Corporations Act and has not been (and will not be) lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission ( ASIC ) (or with any other regulatory authority).

Entitlement Offer Booklet | 7

The Company is a ‘disclosing entity’ for the purpose of section 111AC of the Corporations Act and as such it is subject to regular reporting and continuous disclosure obligations under Chapter 2M and sections 674 and 674A of the Corporations Act and under the listing rules of ASX ( Listing Rules ).

The obligations referred to in the preceding paragraph require the Company to lodge financial statements and other reports periodically and to notify ASX about material events and matters as they arise in each case to allow ASX to disseminate that information to market participants.

In particular, the Company has an obligation under the Listing Rules (subject to Listing Rule 3.1A) to notify ASX immediately once it becomes aware of any information concerning the Company which a ‘reasonable person’ would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of its securities.

For the Company to rely on the disclosure exemption in section 708AA of the Corporations Act (i.e. the exemption that allows the Company to conduct the Entitlement Offer without a prospectus), the Company is required to lodge a ‘cleansing notice’ under section 708AA(2)(f) with ASX.

The cleansing notice is required, amongst other things, to:

  • (a) set out any information that has been excluded from disclosure under the Listing Rules that investors and their professional advisers would reasonably require, and would reasonably expect to find in a disclosure document, for the purpose of making an informed assessment of:

  • (i) the assets and liabilities, financial position and performance, profits and losses and prospects of the Company; or

  • (ii)

  • the rights and liabilities attaching to the New Shares;

  • (b) certify to the market that the Company has complied with the audit, financial reporting and continuous disclosure provisions of the Corporations Act; and

  • (c) state the potential effect the issue of the New Shares the subject of the Entitlement Offer will have on the control of the Company and the consequences of that effect.

The Company lodged a cleansing notice in relation to the Entitlement Offer with ASX on 24 July 2024.

1.9 Issue and quotation of New Shares

It is expected that the Company will issue (and will apply for quotation on ASX of) the New Shares the subject of the Entitlement Offer on 21 August 2024. Accordingly, it is expected that quotation of the New Shares will, subject to ASX approval, begin from market open on 22 August 2024.

Entitlement Offer Booklet | 8

The fact that ASX may quote the New Shares the subject of the Entitlement Offer should not be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or of the investment opportunity to which the New Shares relate.

If the Company’s application for quotation of the New Shares is not approved by ASX, the Company will not issue any New Shares under the Entitlement Offer and all application monies received will be refunded (without interest).

The Company, Lead Manager and the Share Registry and each of their respective Related Bodies Corporate, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisers will have no responsibility and disclaim all liability to the maximum extent permitted by law to persons who trade New Shares they believe have been issued to them before they receive an updated holding statement, whether on the basis of a confirmation provided by the Company, the Lead Manager or the Share Registry or otherwise or who trade or purport to trade New Shares in error or which they do not hold or are not entitled to hold. If you are in any doubt in relation to these matters, you should seek professional advice.

1.10 Eligible Shareholders

The offer set out in this Offer Booklet is available to all Shareholders who are, as at 7pm (Sydney time) on the Record Date, registered (in accordance with the records of the Share Registry) with an address in Australia or New Zealand and who can make (and by subscribing for New Shares in accordance with Section 2.2 or 2.3 will be deemed by the Company to have made) the representations set out in Section 2.6.

Shareholders registered with an address outside of Australia or New Zealand or who are unable to make the representations set out in Section 2.6 are not ‘Eligible Shareholders’ (i.e. they are ‘ Ineligible Shareholders ’ for the purposes of the Entitlement Offer) and therefore cannot participate in the Entitlement Offer. Neither the Offer Booklet nor the Entitlement and Acceptance Form will be sent to Ineligible Shareholders.

New Zealand

The New Shares the subject of the Entitlement Offer are not being offered to the public within New Zealand other than to existing Shareholders with a registered address in New Zealand to whom the offer for issue of these securities is being made in reliance on the Financial Markets Conduct (Incidental Offers) Exemption Notice 2021. This Offer Booklet has been prepared in compliance with Australian law and has not been registered, filed with or approved by any New Zealand regulatory authority under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. This document is not a product disclosure statement under New Zealand law and is not required to, and therefore may not, contain all the information that a product disclosure statement under New Zealand law is required to contain.

Entitlement Offer Booklet | 9

Ineligible Shareholders

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.7.1 and section 9A of the Corporations Act, the Company has decided that it is unreasonable to extend the Entitlement Offer to any Shareholder with a registered address outside Australia or New Zealand. Accordingly, the Entitlement Offer is not being extended to, and no Entitlements or New Shares will be issued to, Shareholders who have a registered address outside of Australia or New Zealand. The Company will send details of the Entitlement Offer to each Ineligible Shareholder and will advise them that they will not be entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer[12] .

1.11 Overseas Shareholders

The information in this Offer Booklet does not constitute an offer in any jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer.

The New Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act or the securities laws of any State or other jurisdiction of the United States. Entitlements may not be acquired and/or taken up by persons in the United States and the New Shares may not be offered or sold in the United States except in transactions exempt from, or not subject to the registration requirements of the US Securities Act and the securities laws of any applicable State or other jurisdiction of the United States.

1.12 Discretion

The Company may however, in its absolute discretion, make offers to certain Shareholders in jurisdictions other Australia and New Zealand (and if it does so, it will only offer those Shareholders such number of New Shares that is equivalent to the entitlement to New Shares under the Entitlement Offer that those Shareholders would have received had they been eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer (i.e. had they been registered in either Australia or New Zealand)) provided that the relevant Shareholder is able to receive such an offer without any lodgement, disclosure document or other legal formality in the jurisdiction in which they reside.

12 Please note that the Company reserves the right to reject any application for New Shares that it believes is from an Ineligible Shareholder.

Entitlement Offer Booklet | 10

Entitlement Offer Booklet | 15

3. GENERAL INFORMATION

3.1 Risks

An investment in the New Shares the subject of the Entitlement Offer should be regarded as a speculative investment. Accordingly, Eligible Shareholders who are considering whether to participate in the Entitlement Offer should (i) carefully consider all of the disclosures made by the Company (which are available at www.asx.com.au) and the risks associated with any investment in the Company (some of which are described in Schedule 2) (ii) carefully consider the merits of such an investment in the context of their individual risk profile, investment objectives and financial circumstances and (iii) consult their stockbroker, accountant, financial adviser, solicitor, taxation adviser or other independent professional adviser (and do so before deciding whether to participate in the Entitlement Offer).

Eligible Shareholders should also be aware that there are many risks associated with investment in the securities of companies listed on a stock exchange. In almost all cases, the value of listed securities can be expected to fluctuate (meaning, in the Company’s case, that the prevailing price of Shares on ASX may be higher or lower than the Offer Price) depending on various factors including the general condition of the local economy, general worldwide economic and political (including geopolitical) conditions, changes in government policies, taxation and regulatory changes, investor sentiment, movements in interest rates, industrial disruption and natural disasters and many other factors any of which may affect the listed company’s financial performance and condition and/or the price or value of its securities[16] .

In deciding whether to participate in the Entitlement Offer, the Directors recommend that Eligible Shareholders carefully consider the risk factors set out in Schedule 1.

3.2 Tax consideration for investors

The Directors do not consider it appropriate to give advice regarding the taxation consequences of subscribing for (or acquiring) any of the securities the subject of the Entitlement Offer. Furthermore, none of the Company, its Directors or its advisers accept any responsibility or liability for any taxation consequences applicable to an investment in the New Shares and as such the Directors recommend that all prospective investors consult their own tax advisers before participating in the Entitlement Offer.

3.3 Underwriting

The Company has agreed to pay the Lead Manager a management fee of $25,000 and an underwriting fee of $100,000 (in each case, excluding GST).

16 In the case of the Company, most (if not all) of these factors are beyond the control of the Company and the Directors.

Entitlement Offer Booklet | 16

No fees are payable (whether by the Company or the Lead Manager) in respect of the ‘firm in relief’ or sub-underwriting commitments referred to in Section 1.6.

Further information in relation to the above referred fee arrangements (including for the purposes of Exception 2 in Listing Rule 10.12) is included in the Appendix 3B for the Entitlement Offer which was released to the market by the Company on 24 July 2024.

Please see Schedule 2 for a summary of the material terms of the Underwriting Agreement.

3.4 No cooling-off rights

Cooling-off rights do not apply to an investment in New Shares. This means that applicants cannot withdraw their application for New Shares once it has been received by the Company.

3.5 No brokerage or stamp duty

No brokerage or stamp duty is payable by Eligible Shareholders who participate in the Entitlement Offer.

3.6 Further disclaimers

Neither the Lead manager, nor any of its Related Bodies Corporate, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants or advisers (together, the LM Parties ), or any other person have authorised, permitted or caused the issue or lodgement, submission, dispatch or provision of this Offer Booklet (or any other materials released by the Company in relation to the Entitlement Offer) and, except to the extent expressly referred to in this Offer Booklet, none of the LM Parties make or purports to make any statement in this Offer Booklet which has been verified by or is based on any statement by any of them.

The Lead Manager is a financial institution engaged in various activities which may include trading, financing, financial advisory, investment management, research, principal investment, hedging, market-making, brokerage and other financial and non-financial activities including activities for which they have received or expect to receive fees and commissions.

Entitlement Offer Booklet | 17

No person is authorised to give any information, or to make any representation in connection with the Entitlement Offer that is not contained in the Offer Booklet. Any information that is not in this Offer Booklet may not be relied on as having been authorised by the Company or by any of its Related Bodies Corporate, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants or advisers.

3.8 Appointment of Approved Nominee

Subject to the receipt of the ASIC Approval, the Company will appoint a nominee affiliated with the Lead Manager and will issue that nominee with the Entitlements which would otherwise have been available for subscription by Ineligible Shareholders (i.e. had they been Eligible Shareholders).

The Entitlements issued to the Approved Nominee will then be offered for sale and, to the extent that there is any value (referred to as a ‘premium’) realised from that sale, that premium (less any expenses associated with that sale) will be remitted pro rata to all Ineligible Shareholders.

Ineligible Shareholders should note however that since the Entitlement Offer is structured as a non-renounceable entitlement offer, it is not expected that this sale process will generate any premium (less expenses) to be remitted to Ineligible Shareholders.

Schedule 1 – Risk Factors

This Section of this Offer Booklet describes some of the potential risks associated with the Company’s business, the industry in which it operates and the risks associated with an investment in the New Shares.

The Company is subject to risk factors that are both specific in nature and those that are more general. Any of these risk factors may, if they eventuate, have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, operating and financial performance, growth and/or the value of the New Shares.

Many of the circumstances giving rise to these risks and the occurrence of the consequences associated with each risk are partially or completely outside of the Company’s control. This Section of the Offer Booklet should be read in conjunction with the Company’s continuous and periodic disclosures given to ASX.

The selection of risks set out below is based on an assessment of a combination of the probability of the risk occurring and the impact of the risk if it did occur. The assessment is based on the knowledge of the Directors as at the date of this Offer Booklet.

Speculative nature of investment

Any investor should be aware that subscribing for New Shares involves various risks. The New Shares to be issued under the Entitlement Offer carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those shares. An investment in New Shares should therefore be considered speculative.

Cluey may be unable to scale its business and achieve profitability

The Company’s ability to increase revenue and achieve profitability is dependent on its ability to profitably scale (whether by organic growth or by acquisition) its business in its key markets. While the Company has been successful in achieving a rapid level of growth in a relatively short period of time, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to achieve the same level of growth in the future. The ability to profitably scale the Company’s business in Australia and potentially other markets is dependent on the Company both expanding its existing customer, tutor and teacher bases and retaining existing and new customers for repeat use of the Company’s services.

Loss of key management personnel

The Company has to date relied on the collective skills and expertise of a limited number of top management executives. Retaining these key management personnel in their current position is critical to the Company’s short and medium-term success. A failure to attract and/or retain skilled staff and key personnel could materially impact the Company’s ability to operate its business, implement business strategies and develop the Company’s products.

Entitlement Offer Booklet | 21

Tutor selection, retention, quality control and tutor costs

The Company’s business model requires that it selects, engages, trains and qualityassures an increasing number of tutors and teachers as it increases the scale of its business. If the Company is unable to effectively execute and scale its tutor and teacher operations and maintain quality standards, its business, financial condition and profitability (if applicable) may be adversely affected. Further, if the average rate paid to the Company’s tutors and/or teachers increases at a faster rate than anticipated, then the Company’s operating margins may be adversely affected.

Customer acquisition, retention risk and competitive pricing

The Company’s growth depends on its ability to attract new students to use its products and services and to increase the level of engagement by existing students. The Company may not succeed in attracting new students to use of its products and services and if students do not increase their level of engagement with the platform, revenues may grow more slowly than expected or decline.

The Company may be unable to maintain and grow its student user base if it is unable offer competitive prices for its products and services. If the Company fails to expand its user base, its business, financial and operating performance and condition would be adversely affected.

History of losses and uncertainty on future profits

The Company has reported net losses since listing and is expected to continue to experience net losses in the near future. As it pursues profitability, the Company expects to make ongoing investments in the development and expansion of its business (including by acquisition) and as such operating expenses may increase. Cluey may not succeed in increasing revenues sufficiently to offset these higher expenses resulting in it continuing to make losses.

Competition

The Company expects that existing competitors and new entrants to the outside-ofschool K-12 education segment will constantly revise and improve their business models in response to challenges from competing businesses, including the Company. If these or other market participants introduce new or improved delivery of online K-12 education and technology-enabled services that the Company cannot match or exceed in a timely or cost-effective manner, the Company’s business, financial condition and performance and profitability (if applicable) may be adversely affected.

Cybersecurity and data protection

The Company collects and holds a significant amount of personal information about its customers. Unauthorised access to, or breach or failure of, the Company’s digital infrastructure due to cyber-attacks, negligence, human error or other third-party actions, could disrupt the Company’s operations and result in the loss or misuse of data or sensitive information exposing the Company to litigation, claims, fines and penalties, reputational damage and a loss of trust by its customers, tutors and employees, each of which might have an adverse effect on the Company’s operational and financial condition and/or performance.

Entitlement Offer Booklet | 22

In addition, laws relating to data privacy are evolving. If data privacy standards are adopted in Australia, or other markets in which the Company enters, which are more stringent than those which are currently in place, then this could possibly lead to additional costs for compliance and negatively impact the Company’s operational and financial condition and/or performance.

Technology

The Company has entered into various software licenses which are required to operate the technology platforms, systems and operations of the business. If a problem arises in relation to the Company's software licences, then this could negatively impact the Company's ability to carry out its operations and negatively impact the Company’s operational and financial condition and/or performance.

Cluey’s systems and platforms may be disrupted, become redundant, cease to operate efficiently, or fail

The Company is reliant on the performance, reliability and availability of its technology platforms, communications systems, servers, the internet, hosting services and the cloud-based environment in which it provides its services (whether provided in-house or sourced from third parties). There is a risk that these systems may be adversely affected by various factors such as damage, faulty or aging equipment, power surges or failures, computer viruses, or misuse by staff or contractors. Other factors such as hacking, denial of service attacks, or natural disasters may also adversely affect these systems and cause them to become unavailable.

Acquisitions, expansion or growth initiatives by Cluey may not be successful

As part of its growth strategy, the Company may investigate and undertake expansion, acquisition and other growth initiatives from time to time. The risks that the Company may face in relation to these various strategic initiatives, include:

  • difficulty in integrating and migrating the operations, systems, technologies, employees and customers of the acquired business;

  • disruption to the Company’s existing business and diversion of financial and management resources on the transition and integration of the acquired business;

  • difficulty in entering markets in which the Company has limited direct or prior experience where competitors have established market positions;

  • potential loss of key employees, customers or suppliers of the acquired business;

  • differences in corporate culture and expectations between the Company and the acquired business;

  • assumption of liabilities and incurrence of debt to fund acquisitions;

Entitlement Offer Booklet | 23

  • assumption of contractual obligations that contain terms that are not beneficial to the Company;

  • failure to realise the anticipated synergies, economies of scale and increases in the revenue, margins and net profit from the acquired business;

  • difficulty in accurately valuing the acquired business resulting in overpayment;

  • incomplete or inaccurate due diligence analysis of the acquired business; and

  • failure to obtain appropriate warranties and indemnities from the vendors and warranty insurance in relation to the acquired business.

Changes in curriculum and standardised testing

The Company’s ability to adapt to changes in curricula and/or standardised testing and the associated costs in doing so, may impact the Company’s ability to retain existing customers and therefore its revenue and operating expenses.

New products or expansion into new territories may not achieve intended outcomes

If the Company introduces new product or service features, products or services, or expands into new territories or market segments, there are risks that these initiatives may result in unforeseen costs, fail to achieve expected revenue or otherwise may not achieve the intended outcomes. The Company’s plans for growth may be constrained by unforeseen issues particular to a territory or market segment, including changes to the regulatory, taxation and foreign exchange environment.

Failure to realise benefits from product development costs

Developing software and technology is expensive and often involves an extended period of time to achieve a return on investment. An important part of the Company’s business strategy is to continue to make investments in innovation and related product development opportunities, to maintain its competitive position. The Company may not, however, receive significant revenues from these investments for several years or may not realise such benefits at all.

Reputation damage

Maintaining the strength of the Company’s reputation is important to retaining and increasing its customer base and successfully implementing its business strategy. The Company’s reputation could be affected by the actions of third parties, such as business partners, competitors, technology providers and its customer base. There is also a risk that unforeseen issues or events or unsubstantiated social or other media coverage may adversely affect the Company’s reputation. This may impact on the Company’s future growth and profitability.

Entitlement Offer Booklet | 24

Internet availability, cost and reliability

The Company’s services require customer, tutor and teacher access to reliable internet connection. There is a risk that future access to the internet for existing and prospective customers is compromised by rising costs, unreliable connection or general unavailability in rural and remote locations. This could result in a slower adoption of the Company’s services, which could adversely affect the Company’s operational and financial condition and/or performance.

Changes in law and regulations

The Company may be adversely impacted by the introduction or changes in government policy, regulation or legislation applying to tutoring services, after-school and holiday camp services and/or education providers.

Failure to protect intellectual property rights

Actions taken by the Company to protect its intellectual property may not be adequate, complete or enforceable and may not prevent the misappropriation of its intellectual property and proprietary information or deter independent development of similar technologies by others.

Economic and financial market conditions may deteriorate

The Company is subject to general market conditions and the risks inherent to all entities whose securities are publicly listed on a securities exchange. General economic conditions (both domestically and internationally), long-term inflation rates, exchange rate movements, interest rate movements and movements in the general market for ASX and internationally listed securities may adversely affect the market price of its shares (including the New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer) and its ability to pay dividends. None of the Company, its directors or any other person guarantees the market performance of the New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer or the payment of dividends.

Price of Cluey’s shares may fluctuate

The price of the Company’s shares (including those issued under the Entitlement Offer) on ASX may increase or decrease due to a number of factors. These factors may cause New Shares to trade at prices below the Offer Price. There is no assurance that the price of the New Shares will increase following their quotation on ASX. Some of the factors which may affect the price of the Company’s shares (including the New Shares) include:

  • the number of potential buyers or sellers of Shares on ASX at any given time;

  • fluctuations in the domestic and international market for listed stocks;

  • changes in fiscal, monetary or regulatory policies, legislation or regulation;

  • inclusion in or removal from market indices;

  • the nature of the markets in which the Company operates;

Entitlement Offer Booklet | 25

  • variations in sector performance, which can lead to investors exiting one sector to prefer another;

  • initiatives by other sector participants which may lead to investors switching from one stock to another; and

  • general operational and business risks.

Shareholders may suffer dilution

In the future, the Company may elect to issue new shares, including pursuant to management and employee incentive arrangements, or engage in institutional fundraisings including to fund capital requirements or future acquisitions that the Company may decide to make. While the Company will be subject to the constraints of the Listing Rules regarding the percentage of its capital that it is able to issue within a 12-month period (other than where exceptions apply), some or all existing Shareholders may be diluted as a result of such issues of shares and fundraisings.

Trading in shares may not be liquid

There may be relatively few potential buyers or sellers for the Company’s shares on ASX at any given time. This may increase the volatility of the market price of the Company’s shares (including the New Shares). It may also affect the prevailing market price at which Shareholders are able to sell their Shares. This may result in Shareholders receiving a market price for their Shares that is less or more than the price they paid for their Shares.

Employment

The Company’s business relies significantly on its staff, tutors and teachers. Its financial position may be affected by adverse changes to employment laws (including, if applicable, the Closing Loopholes No. 2 Bill 2023 (Cth)), regulations, rules or government policy. In addition, in recent times there have been large underpayments of wages and benefits identified under Australian awards and enterprise agreements. Much complexity and uncertainty exist in regard to award coverage and staff entitlements generally and consequently historical or future claims cannot be ruled out.

Litigation

The Company is subject to the usual business risk that disputes or litigation may arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business activities. Litigation risks relating to the Company include, but are not limited to, debtor claims, contractual claims, occupational health and safety claims, employee claims and regulatory disputes. There is a risk that material or costly disputes could affect the Company’s operation and financial performance or condition.
