1. Details of the Cleansing Offer

1.1

The Cleansing Offer

The Company is offering, pursuant to this Prospectus, 1,000 new Shares ( New Shares ) each at an issue price of A$0.04 per New Share ( Cleansing Offer ).

All of the New Shares offered under this Prospectus will rank equally with Shares on issue at the date of this Prospectus. Refer to Section 4.1 for a summary of the rights attaching to the New Shares.

The Company is only extending the Cleansing Offer to specific parties on invitation from the Directors. The Company will only provide Application Forms to these parties.

This Prospectus has been issued, and the Cleansing Offer is being undertaken, to facilitate the secondary trading of the following issues of Shares by the Company, as they were issued without disclosure under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act.

The Company previously issued:

  • (a) 90,000,000 Shares (on a pre-consolidated basis) to Mr Asaf Amber, Beirne Trading Pty Ltd, Mr Bhavdip Sanghavi, DSL Trading Company Pty Ltd, Mr Chao Zhang, Mr Andre Marschke, Mr Geoffrey Saffer and Mrs Rachel Saffer on 7 May 2025 as an establishment fee for the grant of loans to the Company of $160,000 (in aggregate). Refer to the Appendix 2A dated 8 May 2025 for further details;

  • (b) 98,411,602 Shares to professional and sophisticated investors identified by the Company and Oakley Capital Pty Ltd on 6 June 2025 pursuant to a placement announced by the Company on 3 June 2023. Refer to the Appendix 2A dated 6 June 2025 for further details;

  • (f) 19,634,032 Shares to Oakley Capital Pty Ltd on 2 July 2025 as approved by shareholders at the Company's Annual General Meeting held on 8 May 2025. Refer to the Appendix 2A dated 4 July 2025 for further details,

(together, the Relevant Shares ).

1.2 Removal of Secondary Trading Restrictions

The primary purpose of this Prospectus is to remove any trading restrictions on the sale of any shares issued by the Company without disclosure under Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act prior to the date of this prospectus. Accordingly, the Company is seeking to raise only a nominal amount of $40 under this Prospectus as the purpose of this Prospectus is not to raise capital.

The Company is not able to issue a cleansing notice under section 708A(5) of the Corporations Act in respect of the Relevant Shares as the Relevant Shares were issued more than 5 business days prior to the date of this Prospectus. Accordingly, the primary purpose of this Prospectus is to remove any on-sale restrictions that may affect the Relevant Shares.

Section 707(3) of the Corporations Act requires that a prospectus is issued in order for a person to whom securities were issued without disclosure under Part 6D of the Corporations Act to onsell those securities within 12 months of the date of their issue.

Relevantly, section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act provides an exemption from this general requirement where:

  • (a) the relevant securities are in a class of securities of the company that are already quoted on ASX;

  • (b) a prospectus is lodged with ASIC either:

==> picture [10 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • on or after the day on which the relevant securities were issued but before the day on which the sale offer is made; or

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • before the day on which the relevant securities are issued and offers of securities that have been made under the prospectus are still open for acceptance on the day on which the relevant securities were issued; and

  • (c) the prospectus is for an offer of securities issued by the company that are in the same class of securities as the relevant securities.

1.3 Purpose of this Prospectus

The purpose of this Prospectus is to:

  • (a) make the Cleansing Offer; and

  • (b) ensure that the on-sale of the Relevant Shares does not breach section 707(3) of the Corporations Act by relying on the exemption to the secondary trading provisions in section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act.

1.4

Minimum subscription

There is no minimum amount to be raised under the Cleansing Offer.

1.5 Closing Date

The closing date for the Cleansing Offer is 5:00pm (AEST) on 8 July 2025 ( Closing Date ) or such other date as the Directors in their absolute discretion shall determine, subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules.

The Company reserves the right, subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules to extend the Closing Date without prior notice. If the Closing Date is varied, subsequent dates may also be varied accordingly.

1.6 Application Forms

Applications for New Shares must be made by investors at the direction of the Company and must be made using the Application Form that will be provided to investors at the discretion of the Company together with this Prospectus.

Payment for the CDIs must be made in full at the issue price of $0.04 per New Share.

If you have received an invitation to apply for the New Shares and wish to apply for the New Shares, you should contact your stockbroker for information about how to submit your Application Form and for payment instructions.

An original completed and lodged Application Form, together with a cheque for the Application Monies, constitutes a binding and irrevocable offer to subscribe for the number of New Shares specified in the Application Form. The Application Form does not have to be signed to be a valid Application. An Application will be deemed to have been accepted by the Company upon allotment of the New Shares.

P a g e | 7

By making an Application, you declare that you were given access to this Prospectus, together with an Application Form. The Corporations Act prohibits any person from passing an Application Form to another person unless it is attached to, or accompanied by, a hard copy of this Prospectus or the complete and unaltered electronic version of this Prospectus.

The Cleansing Offer may be closed at an earlier date and time at the discretion of the Directors, without prior notice. Applicants are therefore encouraged to submit their Application Forms as early as possible. However, the Company reserves the right to extend the Closing Date or accept late Applications.

If the Application Form is not completed correctly it may still be treated as valid. The Directors’ decision as to whether to treat the Acceptance as valid and how to construe, amend or complete the Application Form is final.

1.7

Issue and Dispatch

The issue of New Shares under the Cleansing Offer will take place as soon as possible after the Closing Date.

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

1.8

Application Monies held on trust

All Application Monies received for the New Shares will be held on trust in a bank account maintained solely for the purpose of depositing Application Monies received pursuant to this Prospectus until the New Shares are issued. If the New Shares are not issued, all Application Monies will be returned (without interest) as soon as practicable in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act.

1.9

ASX quotation

Application for Official Quotation of the New Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus will be made within seven days of the date of this Prospectus.

If the New Shares are not admitted to Official Quotation by ASX before the expiration of three months after the date of issue of this Prospectus, or such period as varied by ASIC, the Company will not issue any New Shares and will repay all Application Monies for the New Shares within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act without interest.

ASX takes no responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus. The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation to the New Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the New Shares now offered for subscription.

1.10

CHESS

The Company participates in the Clearing House Electronic Sub-register System, known as CHESS. ASX Settlement, a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX, operates CHESS in accordance with the Listing Rules and ASX Settlement Operating Rules.

Under CHESS, Applicants will not receive a certificate but will receive a statement of their holding of New Shares. If you are broker sponsored, ASX Settlement will send you a CHESS statement.

The CHESS statement will set out the number of New Shares issued under this Prospectus, provide details of your holder identification number, the participant identification number of the sponsor and the terms and conditions applicable to the New Shares.

If you are registered on the Issuer Sponsored sub-register, your statement will be dispatched by the Company's share registry and will contain the number of New Shares issued to you under this Prospectus and your security holder reference number.

A CHESS statement or Issuer Sponsored statement will routinely be sent to Shareholders at the end of any calendar month during which the balance of their shareholding changes. Shareholders

may request a statement at any other time; however, a charge may be made for additional statements.

1.11 Applicants outside Australia

This Prospectus and any accompanying Application Form do not, and are not intended to, constitute an offer of New Shares in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus or the New Shares. The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus should seek advice on and observe any such restrictions. Any failure to comply with such restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws.

1.12 Withdrawal

The Company reserves the right not to proceed with the Cleansing Offer at any time before the issue of New Shares to successful Applicants. If the Cleansing Offer is cancelled or withdrawn before settlement, all Application Monies provided under the Cleansing Offer will be refunded in full (without interest) as soon as possible in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act.

1.13 Risk factors

An investment in New Shares under this Prospectus should be regarded as speculative. In addition to the general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities, there are specific risks associated with an investment in the Company, which are detailed in Section 3.

1.14

Taxation implications

The Directors do not consider it appropriate to give Applicants advice regarding the taxation consequences of subscribing for New Shares under the Cleansing Offer.

The Company, its advisers and its officers do not accept any responsibility or liability for any such taxation consequences to Applicants. As a result, Applicants should consult their professional tax adviser in connection with subscribing for New Shares under the Cleansing Offer.

1.15

issued under the
Cleansing Offer
1,000 - - -
Total 468,989,679 164,890,032 1,870,533 245,000

2.2 Effect of the Cleansing Offer on the Company

After paying for the expenses of the Cleansing Offer of approximately A$8,206, there will be no proceeds from the Cleansing Offer. The expenses of the Cleansing Offer exceeding A$40 (being the amount raised if the Cleansing Offer is fully subscribed) will be met from the Company’s existing cash reserves.

The Cleansing Offer will have a minimal effect on the Company’s financial position, being receipt of funds of A$40 less the costs of preparing this Prospectus.

2.3 Effect of the Cleansing Offer on Control

The Cleansing Offer will have no impact on the control of the Company, as no person as a result of the Cleansing Offer will increase their voting power:

  • (a) from 20% or below to more than 20% of the issued Shares of the Company; or

  • (b) from a starting point that is above 20% and below 90% of the issued Shares of the Company.

2.4

Market price of Shares

The highest and lowest market sale prices of Shares on ASX during the three months immediately preceding the date of this Prospectus and the latest market sale price and the respective dates of those sales were:

Highest: A$0.085 on 1/7/2025 Lowest: A$0.005 on 26/5/2025 Latest A$0.050 on 3/7/2025

2.5

Dividend policy

The Directors are not able to say when and if dividends will be paid in the future, as the payment of any dividends will depend on the future profitability, financial position and cash requirements of the Company.

P a g e | 11

3. Risk Factors

The New Shares offered under this Prospectus should be considered highly speculative. The proposed future activities of the Company are subject to a number of risks and other factors that may affect its future performance. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate controls. However, many of the risks are outside the control of the Directors and management of the Company and cannot be mitigated.

The risks described in this Section 3 are not an exhaustive list of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. This Section 3 should be considered in conjunction with other information in this Prospectus. The risks described, and others not specifically referred to, in this Section 3 may in the future materially affect the financial performance and position of the Company and the value of the New Shares offered under this Prospectus. The New Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital or the market value of those New Shares. The risks described in this Section 3 also necessarily include forward looking statements. Actual events may be materially different to those described and may therefore affect the Company in a different way.

Investors should be aware that the performance of the Company may be affected and the value of its securities may rise or fall over any given period. None of the Directors or any person associated with the Company guarantees the Company's performance, the performance of the securities or the market price at which the securities will trade. The Directors strongly recommend that potential investors consider the risks detailed in this Section 3, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus, and consult their professional advisers, before they decide whether to apply for the New Shares.

3.1 Risks specific to the Company

The current and future operations of the Company may be affected by a range of factors, including:

(a) Intellectual property

To market and protect its market position, it is important for the Company to protect the intellectual property in its brand and the technology. Although some of the technology is patented, there may be situations where it cannot be protected or is subject to unauthorised disclosure, infringement, or challenge by a third party. This may require significant cost and effort to defend or to obtain the necessary protections to prevent such conduct (as the case may be).

There is a risk that other individuals or companies may claim to have an interest in intellectual property or trade secrets used by the Company. Intellectual property or trade secrets may be challenged by other parties and defending such actions may adversely impact the Company’s earnings. In addition, if the Company is required to develop or support new technology and intellectual property, it may require significant capital expenditure by the Company.

The Company has previously or in future will acquire trade secrets and other intellectual property rights that are important assets. The Company may therefore rely on a combination of confidentiality and licence agreements with its consultants and third parties with whom it has relationships agreements, as well as domain name, trade secret, copyright and patent laws, to protect its brand and other intellectual property rights. However, various events outside of the Company’s control could pose a threat to its intellectual property rights, as well as to its products and technologies.

(b) Reliance on key personnel

The Company relies on the experience and knowledge of its management team, in particular Mr John Houston, a Director. The Company is also dependent on its ability to recruit and retain suitably qualified personnel. In the event that such key personnel leave the Company and it was unable to recruit suitable replacements, such loss could have a materially adverse effect on the Company.

(c) Increased competition

The markets in which the Company operates are highly competitive. This competition has intensified as a result of improvements in technology. The actions of an existing competitor or the introduction of a new competitor in the market may make it difficult for the Company to grow its revenue, which in turn, may have an adverse effect on its profitability.

If the Company's technology proves to be less successful or more costly than its competitors products, the business of the Company could be adversely affected.

(d) Growth prospects and Company expansion plans

The Company's growth prospects are dependent upon a number of factors, including, customer take up and execution of rollout. There is a risk that the Company may encounter potential issues arising from operating in foreign jurisdictions, including marketing restrictions, regulations regarding anti-theft, and protecting its intellectual property. These risks will vary in importance depending on the countries the Company chooses to enter into. If the Company fails to execute any expansion plan and cannot attract buyers for its products, its financial performance is likely to be negatively affected.

In the short term, the Company continues to make efforts that are aimed at the expansion of the Company beyond Australia and New Zealand and will continue to focus on QR code technologies through its Digital and Engagement First strategy. The Company believes that favourable developments in these areas will likely have a positive effect on the Company’s financial performance and conversely if the Company fails to successfully accomplish these then its financial performance is likely to be negatively affected.

(e) New assets, projects and acquisitions

The Company has recently entered into binding sale agreement to acquire Trust Codes Global Limited and the QuantumAI business and its assets from Credissential Inc. to complement its existing business offerings. The Company may make additional acquisitions in the future as part of future growth plans. In this regard, the Directors will use their expertise and experience to assess the value of potential projects that have characteristics that are likely to provide returns to Shareholders.

There can be no guarantee that any new project acquisition or investment will eventuate from these pursuits, or that any acquisitions will result in a return for Shareholders. Such acquisitions may result in use of the Company’s cash resources and/or the issuance of equity securities, which will dilute shareholdings.

(f) Reliance on access to internet

The Company will depend on the ability of its users to access the internet. Access is provided by various classes of entities in the broadband and internet access marketplace. Should any of these entities disrupt, restrict or affect the cost of access to the Company's products, usage of the Company's products may be negatively impacted.

(g) Programming errors

The Company's products will contain complicated programming and its objectives are to quickly develop and launch new and innovative products and features. The Company's products may therefore contain, now or in the future, errors, bugs or vulnerabilities. Any errors, bugs or vulnerabilities discovered could result in (amongst other consequences) damage to the Company's brand, loss of customers, falls in revenues or liability for damages, any of which could adversely affect the Company's business and operating results.

(h) Liability risk

P a g e | 13

Whilst the Company will take precautions both legal and physical, the nature of the Company's business of providing products and services to the anti-counterfeit field, may give rise in certain circumstances to potential legal action by either customers or end users in the areas of product or public liability. If legal action was taken against the Company, it could have a material adverse effect on the financial performance of the business and to its reputation and brand name.

(i) Reliance on key supplier relationships

The Company relies on various key supplier relationships for certain parts of its business. The loss or impairment of any of these relationships could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition and prospects, at least until alternative arrangements can be implemented. In some instances, however, alternative arrangements may not be available or may be less financially advantageous than the current arrangements.

In particular, the Company relies on third parties to provide intellectual property development and manufacturing services. Although there are long term contracts in place with stringent non-compete provisions, the Company is vulnerable to any change in output from these suppliers. Should any of these suppliers significantly reduce their supply to the Company, this will have an adverse effect of the growth prospects and financial performance of the Company.

(j)

Product selection

An important element of the Company's business is an ability to assess and identify products that appeal to the Company's target market. Newer anti-counterfeit and brand protection technologies and products are increasing the number of choices available to customers. This may make the Company's products less attractive and any misjudgements in demand or changes in customer preferences could result in reduced sales, increased inventory and/or lower gross margins. In addition, existing products or products in the future developed by the Company may experience performance problems rendering them difficult or impossible to sell, or subject to product recall which could have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial performance.

(k)

Delivery risk

The potential exists for delays or cancellations in the delivery of products without any practical recourse being available to the Company to recover lost earnings. Any such delay or cancellation would have an adverse impact on the Company's earnings and profits.

(l) Exchange rates

The Company is exposed to movements in foreign exchange rates. As the Company will report financial earnings in Australian dollars, and because the Company does not plan to hedge against movements in the exchange rate, significant fluctuations in exchange rates may impact on the Company's margins and earnings adversely.

(m) Funding

The Company may seek to exploit opportunities of a kind that will require it to raise additional capital from equity or debt sources. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such capital on favourable terms or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain such additional capital, it may be required to reduce the scope of its anticipated activities, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition and operating results.

3.2 General Risks

  • (a) Price fluctuations

The New Shares are to be quoted on the ASX, where the price may rise or fall. The New Shares issued under this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those New Shares. The value of the New Shares will be determined by the share market and will be subject to a range of factors, many or all of which may be beyond the control of the Company and the management team.

(b) Economic factors

Changes in economic and business conditions in Australia or internationally may affect the fundamentals of the Company's target markets or its costs structure and profitability. Adverse changes in the level of inflation, interest rates, consumer spending, and employment rates are outside the control of the Company and the management team and may have an adverse effect on the financial performance and/or financial position of the Company.

(c)

Government regulation

The Company is exposed to changes in laws, regulations and government policies which may affect the profitability and activities of the Company. Laws may be enacted or enforced which affect greater regulation upon the anti-counterfeit industry which may increase the Company's operating costs to comply with the relevant government regulations. In addition, taxation legislation may change which could impact the Company's profitability as may changes to tariffs or other government trade policies that may impact exports to a particular country or related to a particular sector.

(d) Taxation

Future changes to tax law or changes to the way in which taxation laws are interpreted in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates or makes underlying investments may correspondingly impact the taxation liability of the Company or the value of its assets.

There are tax implications arising from purchasing and selling securities, receiving distributions from the Company, and participation in any on-market Share buy-backs. Accordingly, potential investors should seek their own independent taxation advice before applying for New Shares under the Cleansing Offer.

(e) Insurance risks

Although insurance is maintained by the Company, no assurance can be given that adequate insurance will continue to be available to the Company in the future on commercially acceptable terms.

In addition, the Company may incur liabilities to third parties (in excess of any insurance cover or statutory reserves) arising from negative environmental impacts or other damages or injury. There is a risk of an occurrence of a significant event leading to losses that are not fully covered by insurance.

Investment Speculative

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the New Shares offered under this Prospectus. Therefore, the New Shares 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 New Shares. Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional adviser before deciding whether to apply for the New Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

4. Additional Information

4.1 Rights and Liabilities Attaching to Shares

The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares of the Company. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. Full details of the rights attaching to the Shares of the Company are in the Constitution of the Company, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours or can be obtained from the Company's website at https://www.codeifai.com/.

(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 convene meetings in accordance with sections 249D, 249E or 249F 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:

==> picture [10 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

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

==> picture [15 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

  • on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each Share held by him or her, or in respect of which he or she is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for each Share held, but in respect of partly paid shares shall have a fraction of a vote equivalent to the proportion which the amount paid up bears to the total issue price for the share.

(c) Dividend rights

The Directors alone may declare a dividend to be paid to Shareholders. The dividend is payable at a time determined in the Directors' discretion. No dividend may be declared or paid except as allowed by the Corporations Act. No interest is payable in respect of unpaid dividends.

(d) Winding-up

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for the purpose set such value as he or she 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.

(e) Shareholder liability

Shares issued will be fully paid shares and subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.

(f)

Transfer of Shares

Generally, Shares in the Company 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 and the Listing Rules.

P a g e | 17

(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 Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least 75% 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.

4.2 Company is a Disclosing Entity

The Company is a 'disclosing entity' (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of section 713 of the Corporations Act, and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all ASX listed companies, the Company is required (subject to certain exceptions) to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company's securities. The New Shares are in the same class as Shares that have been quoted on the official list of the ASX during the three months prior to the issue of this Prospectus.

This Prospectus is a 'transaction specific prospectus' to which the special content rules under section 713 of the Corporations Act apply. That provision allows the issue of a more concise prospectus in relation to an offer of securities, or operation to acquire securities, in a class which has been continuously quoted by ASX in the three months prior to the date of the prospectus. In general terms 'transaction specific prospectuses' are only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of New Shares on the Company and the rights attaching to the New Shares. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, the financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.

This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.

Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the three months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX.

Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.

The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act states that:

  • (a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;

  • (b) copies of documents lodged with ASIC in relation to the Company (not being documents referred to in section 1274(2)(a) of the Corporations Act) may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of ASIC; and

  • (c) it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the Closing Date:

==> picture [10 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the Annual Financial Report being the most recent annual financial report of the Company lodged with ASIC before the issue of this Prospectus; and

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • any documents used to notify ASX of information relating to the Company in the period from lodgement of the Annual Financial Report until the issue of this Prospectus in accordance with the Listing Rules as referred to in section 674(1) of the Corporations Act.

Copies of documents lodged with ASIC in relation to the Company may be obtained from, or inspected at an ASIC office (refer to Section 4.3 below).

4.3 Copies of Documents

Copies of documents lodged by the Company in connection with its reporting and disclosure obligations may be obtained from, or inspected at, an office of ASIC. The Company will provide free of charge to any person who requests it during the period of the Cleansing Offer, a copy of:
