We refer to the off-market takeover offer ( Offer ) by Complii FinTech Solutions Ltd ACN 098 238 585 ( Complii ) for all the shares in Registry Direct Limited ACN 160 181 840 ( Registry Direct ), the terms of which were set out in Complii’s bidder’s statement dated 20 June 2022 as supplemented on 3 August 2022.

The Offer closed at 5.00pm (AEST) on 30 August 2022. Based on acceptances received under the Offer as at the closing date, Complii has acquired a relevant interest in more than 90% of all Registry Direct shares on issue.

Accordingly, Complii will now exercise its right to acquire the remaining Registry Direct shares under the compulsory acquisition provisions of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Corporations Act ).

Our records indicate that you have not accepted the Offer. If you have accepted Complii’s Offer, you can disregard this letter.

On completion of the compulsory acquisition process, Complii will issue to Registry Direct the consideration for the Registry Direct shares that it compulsorily acquires. Shareholders whose shares are compulsorily acquired will be sent a claim form by Registry Direct advising them how to claim their bid consideration.

Enclosed is an ASIC Form 6021 (Notice of compulsory acquisition following takeover bid) which sets out further information on the compulsory acquisition process. Please read this form carefully, however you do not need to sign or return this form.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 17.4, the Registry Direct shares will be suspended five days after the ASX receives a copy of the Notice.
