2. WHY YOU SHOULD ACCEPT THE TAKEOVER OFFER

The Complii Board believes you should ACCEPT the Takeover Offer for the following reasons:

1. You will receive attractive value for your PrimaryMarkets Shares
2. You will gain ASX share trading liquidity
3. Unanimous recommendation from the PrimaryMarkets Board, to accept the Takeover
Offer, in the absence of a Superior Proposal
4. Potential access to CGT scrip for scrip rollover relief

If you wish to accept the Takeover Offer, you must return the signed accompanying Acceptance Form by 5:00pm (AEDT) on 2 November 2021 , unless extended in accordance with the Corporations Act.

The above is only a headline summary of some of the reasons why you should accept the Takeover Offer. Each of these reasons is explained in more detail below.

(a) You will receive attractive value for your PrimaryMarkets Shares

If you accept the Takeover Offer made to you and the Takeover Offer becomes or is declared unconditional, you will receive 1.6838 new Complii Shares, 0.2566 new Complii Tranche 1 Options and 0.3368 new Complii Tranche 2 Options) for every one of your PrimaryMarkets Shares.

The Company has adopted an implied value of the Takeover Offer of approximately $0.1042 per PrimaryMarkets Share, based on the assumptions set out above. This is on the basis of $0.054 per Complii Share, being the closing price of Complii Shares on 21 September 2021 (the trading day preceding the date of this Bidder’s Statement).

Complii Tranche 1 Options and Complii Tranche 2 Options have been valued using a Black-Scholes model using an implied volatility of 102% which is based on volatilities of comparable ASX-listed companies and a risk-free rate of 0.01% (Risk-free rate being the 2-year government bond yield as at 20 September 2021). The Complii Tranche 1 Options have an implied value of $0.0244 each and the Complii Tranche 2 Options have an implied value of $0.0207 each. As a result, the total consideration equates to $6,495,100 for the acquisition of PrimaryMarkets.

The implied value of the Takeover Offer will change as a consequence of changes in the market price of Complii Shares from time to time. The following table may assist PrimaryMarkets Shareholders to determine the implied value of the Takeover Offer at different Complii Share price levels. The table is not an indication of prices at which Complii Shares may trade – Complii Shares may trade within this range or at higher or lower levels.

Price for a Complii Share ($) Implied offer price for a
PrimaryMarkets Share ($)*
$0.04 $0.0755
$0.05 $0.0959
$0.054 $0.1042
$0.06 $0.1166
$0.07 $0.1376
$0.08 $0.1588
  • Includes the valuation of the Complii Tranche 1 Options and the Complii Tranche 2 Options

(b) You will gain ASX share trading liquidity

Since Complii is ASX listed and Complii is offering to issue Complii Securities as consideration for your PrimaryMarkets Shares, you will, if you accept the Takeover Offer, gain the ability to trade the Complii Shares (and Complii Shares issued upon conversion of the Complii Consideration Options) that you receive as Consideration on ASX should the Takeover Offer be successful (subject to any trading restrictions that may apply to your Complii Shares).

Gaining share trading liquidity on ASX has been a key objective of the PrimaryMarkets Board for several years and this Takeover Offer provides you the opportunity to realise this objective and associated benefits.

(c) The Takeover Offer has received unanimous recommendation from the PrimaryMarkets Board, in the absence of a Superior Proposal

The PrimaryMarkets Directors have unanimously recommended that PrimaryMarkets Shareholders accept the Takeover Offer in the absence of a Superior Proposal.

All of the PrimaryMarkets Directors intend to accept, or procure the acceptance of, the Takeover Offer in respect of any PrimaryMarkets Shares that they own or control, in the absence of a Superior Proposal.

The PrimaryMarkets Directors own or control 24,958,419 PrimaryMarkets Shares representing 40.02% of PrimaryMarkets Shares on issue at the date of this Bidder’s Statement.

As at the date of this Bidder’s Statement, Complii is not aware of any Superior Proposal having been received by PrimaryMarkets and PrimaryMarkets has not made Complii aware of any party having an intention to make such a proposal.

(d) Potential access to CGT scrip for scrip rollover relief

PrimaryMarkets Shareholders may benefit from CGT scrip for scrip rollover relief if they accept the Takeover Offer. Please refer to Section 8 for more information.

3.3 Overview of Complii’s Activities

Complii operates within the Fintech sector of the Australian financial services industry, supporting the operations of Australia based firms. The term “Fintech” describes a business that creates software and modern technology to support the delivery of or provide financial services to consumers and/or organisations. Complii focuses on the financial services industry, an industry which is highly regulated. The Complii Group has a vision of becoming the financial services industry standard in targeted risk, compliance and business technology.

The Complii Group provides solutions to the financial services sector covering compliance, capital raising, e-learning, account opening and online portfolio management tools. These solutions are primarily provided through the Complii

platform ( Complii Platform ), a modular and customisable platform that provides a digital solution to meet specific business, compliance and operational needs of financial organisations, their advisers and investors. ThinkCaddie can also be accessed externally to the Complii Platform.

The Complii Group is expanding and diversifying its product offering, which is demonstrated through the recent acquisition of the following entities:

  • (a) ThinkCaddie Pty Ltd (ACN 619 755 985) ( ThinkCaddie ), acquired in December 2019, which developed a compliance e-learning module, which has been integrated into the core Complii Platform; and

  • (b) Adviser Solutions Group Pty Ltd (ACN 601 875 521) ( ASG ), acquired in May 2020, which provides services to support organisations and individuals who are providing financial advice to their clients. These organisations are also provided with access to the core Complii Platform to manage their compliance functions.

A summary of the Complii Platform and the services provided by ASG are set out below.

3.8 Forecast Information

Complii’s future financial performance is dependent on a range of factors, many of which are beyond Complii’s control.

4.4 ASX Listing

Complii will lodge an application for Official Quotation by ASX of the Complii Shares offered as part of the Consideration offered pursuant to the Takeover Offer.

Complii will not apply for Official Quotation of the Complii Consideration Options. However, Complii will apply for the Official Quotation of any Complii Shares issued upon exercise of the Complii Consideration Options.

As Complii is listed on ASX, Complii’s actions and activities are subject to the Listing Rules.

  • (ii) on a poll, every person present who is an Complii Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of an Complii Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid Complii 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 the Complii 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 Complii Shareholder’s name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).

(c)

Dividend rights

Subject to the rights of any preference Complii Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any Complii Shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the Complii Board may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the Complii Shareholders entitled to the dividend which shall be payable on all Complii Shares according to the proportion that the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Complii Shares. The Complii Board may also from time to time pay to the Complii Shareholders such interim dividends as the Complii Board may determine.

30

No dividend shall carry interest as against Complii. The Complii Board may set aside out of the profits of Complii any amounts that they may determine as reserves, to be applied at the discretion of the Complii Board, for any purpose for which the profits of Complii may be properly applied.

(d) Winding-up

If Complii is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of Complii, divide among the Complii Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of Complii, and may for that 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 Complii Shareholders or different classes of Complii Shareholders.

The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of Complii, 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 Complii Shareholder is compelled to accept any Complii Shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.

(e) Complii Shareholder liability

As the Complii Shares offered by the Bidder’s Statement are fully paid ordinary shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by Complii and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.

(f) Transfer of Complii Shares

Generally, Complii 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 Listing Rules.

(g) Variation of rights

The rights attaching to Complii Shares may only be varied or cancelled by the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Complii Shareholders or with the written consent of holders of three quarters of all Complii Shares on issue. A special resolution is passed only where approved by at least 75% of all votes cast (and entitled to be cast) on the resolution at the meeting.

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 Complii 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.

Complii intends (based on the information currently available to it) to implement its strategy for the Combined Group as set out below.

(a) Strategic review

Subject to what is disclosed elsewhere in this Section 6, Complii intends to undertake a detailed review of PrimaryMarkets and Complii’s activities, assets and liabilities to evaluate their prospects, strategic relevance, funding requirements and financial performance.

7.6 Basis for Preparation of the Pro Forma Financial Information

The pro forma balance sheet as at 30 June 2021 set out below ( Pro Forma Balance Sheet ) has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and on the assumption that the acquisition of the ownership interest in PrimaryMarkets occurred on one day, that is, there are no staged acquisitions.

The Pro Forma Balance Sheet has been prepared assuming that Complii acquires 100% of PrimaryMarkets.

The Pro Forma Balance Sheet has been prepared in accordance with the measurement and recognition principles of International Financial Reporting Standards.

The Pro Forma Balance Sheet is indicative only. Complii has drawn its own conclusions based on the known facts and other publicly available information.

This Section should be read in conjunction with the underlying financial information from which it was extracted, and the accounting policies of Complii and PrimaryMarkets as disclosed in their most recent financial reports.

7.7 Outlook for the Combined Group

This Bidder’s Statement does not include any financial forecasts or projections for revenue or profit in relation to Complii, PrimaryMarkets or the Combined Group.

48

date of this Bidder's Statement, the inclusion of financial forecasts for the Combined Group would be speculative and potentially misleading.

8. AUSTRALIAN TAX CONSIDERATIONS

8.1 Disclaimer and general use restriction

This is a general summary of the Australian taxation consequences of the Takeover Offer for PrimaryMarkets Shareholders that hold their PrimaryMarkets Shares on capital account and are Australian tax residents for Australian income tax purposes. This Section 8 is based on Australian income tax legislation and relevant Australian Taxation Office ( ATO ) guidance material as at the date of this Bidder’s Statement.

The category of PrimaryMarkets Shareholders considered in this summary are limited to individuals, complying superannuation entities and certain companies, trusts or partnerships. This summary does not consider the consequences for PrimaryMarkets Shareholders who:

  • (a) hold their existing PrimaryMarkets Shares in a business of share trading, dealing in securities or otherwise hold their existing PrimaryMarkets Shares on revenue account or as trading stock;

  • (b) acquired their existing PrimaryMarkets Shares under an employee share or option scheme;

  • (c) are taken for capital gains tax (CGT) purposes to have acquired their PrimaryMarkets Shares before 20 September 1985;

  • (d) are subject to the 'Taxation of Financial Arrangements' (TOFA) provisions in Division 230 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) (ITAA 1997) in relation to their holding of PrimaryMarkets Shares; or

  • (e) are tax residents of any jurisdiction other than Australia (whether or not they are also residents, or are temporary residents, of Australia for tax purposes).

The information contained in this summary is of a general nature and is not intended to address the specific circumstances of any particular individual or entity.

This summary is based upon the legislation and established interpretation of legislation as at the date of this Bidder’s Statement, but is not intended to be an authoritative or complete statement of the law as relevant to the circumstances of each PrimaryMarkets Shareholder.

As the taxation implications associated with accepting the Takeover Offer will depend upon each PrimaryMarkets Shareholder’s particular circumstances, each PrimaryMarkets Shareholder should seek and rely upon their own independent professional taxation advice before concluding on the particular taxation treatment that will apply to them.

PrimaryMarkets Shareholders that are subject to tax in a jurisdiction outside Australia may be subject to tax consequences in that jurisdiction that are not covered by this summary. Such individuals or entities should seek and rely upon their own independent professional taxation advice in relation to the taxation implications associated with accepting the Takeover Offer in any jurisdictions that are relevant to them.

Neither Complii nor any of its officers or employees, nor its taxation or other advisers accepts any liability or responsibility in respect of any statement

50

concerning taxation consequences associated with accepting the Takeover Offer.

8.2 Taxation Consequences for PrimaryMarkets Shareholders

(a) PrimaryMarkets Shareholders holding PrimaryMarkets Shares on Capital Account – Australian residents

With reference to the disclaimer above, this Section 8.2(a) applies to PrimaryMarkets Shareholders that are residents of Australia for Australian income tax purposes.

(i) Disposal of PrimaryMarkets Shares - CGT event

The disposal of PrimaryMarkets Shares by PrimaryMarkets Shareholders pursuant to the Takeover Offer will constitute a ‘CGT event’. The CGT event will happen at the earlier time of acceptance of the Takeover Offer, or when the PrimaryMarkets Shares are disposed of under the Takeover Offer. However, as discussed further below, CGT ‘scrip-for-scrip roll-over’ relief may be available for a PrimaryMarkets Shareholder to disregard a capital gain partially which arises from this CGT event.

In the absence of CGT scrip-for-scrip roll-over relief, a capital gain or capital loss may arise as a consequence of this CGT event. A PrimaryMarkets Shareholder will make a capital gain if the capital proceeds for the disposal of the shares exceed the PrimaryMarkets Shareholder’s CGT cost base for the PrimaryMarkets Shares. A capital loss will arise if the capital proceeds are less than the PrimaryMarkets Shareholder's reduced cost base for the PrimaryMarkets Shares.

A PrimaryMarkets Shareholder’s capital proceeds should generally be equal to the Australian Dollar market value of the Complii Shares and Complii Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 Options received by the PrimaryMarkets Shareholder in exchange for their PrimaryMarkets Shares.

A PrimaryMarkets Shareholder’s cost base (and reduced cost base) in the PrimaryMarkets Shares should generally include the historical amount paid by the PrimaryMarkets Shareholder to acquire the PrimaryMarkets Shares plus any incidental costs of acquisition and disposal (e.g. brokerage fees and stamp duty) and costs of owing the PrimaryMarkets Shares (e.g. interest on money borrowed to acquire the PrimaryMarkets Shares) that are not deductible to the PrimaryMarkets Shareholder.

51

(ii) CGT scrip-for-scrip roll-over relief

A PrimaryMarkets Shareholder who acquired their PrimaryMarkets Shares on or after 20 September 1985 and makes a capital gain from the disposal of their PrimaryMarkets Shares may be able to obtain CGT scrip-for-scrip roll-over relief.

Broadly, roll-over relief may be available to PrimaryMarkets Shareholders who exchange their shares in one company for shares in another company (or an ‘interest’ in one company for a ‘like’ interest in another company), provided that certain conditions are satisfied.

The key conditions for roll-over relief are that Complii must make an offer (i.e. the Takeover Offer), as part of a takeover bid (within the meaning of the Corporations Act), that allows all PrimaryMarkets Shareholders to participate in the arrangement on substantially the same terms, and that Complii must become the owner of at least 80% of the voting shares in PrimaryMarkets as a consequence of the Takeover Offer.

If the qualifying conditions are satisfied (including those not specifically mentioned above) and a PrimaryMarkets Shareholder chooses for roll-over relief to apply, roll-over relief should be available.

Roll-over relief enables a PrimaryMarkets Shareholder to choose to disregard the capital gain they make from disposing of their PrimaryMarkets Shares in exchange for Complii Shares. If a capital loss arises, no CGT scrip-for-scrip roll-over relief is available.

The CGT roll-over choice must be made before you lodge your income tax return for the income year in which the CGT event happens. A PrimaryMarkets Shareholder does not need to notify the ATO or document their choice to claim CGT scrip-for-scrip roll-over relief other than to complete their income tax return in a manner consistent with their choice.

The general consequences for a PrimaryMarkets Shareholder of choosing to obtain CGT scrip-for-scrip roll-over relief, as well as the consequences if CGT scrip-for-scrip roll-over relief is not chosen (or is not available) are outlined below.

Further, Complii will not make a choice pursuant to section 124795(4) of the ITAA 1997 such that PrimaryMarkets Shareholders are unable to obtain CGT scrip-for-scrip roll-over relief.

52

(iii) Consequences if CGT scrip-for-scrip roll-over relief is available and is chosen

If a PrimaryMarkets Shareholder chooses CGT scrip-for-scrip rollover relief, the following general treatment should apply.

(A) Capital gain is disregarded

If a PrimaryMarkets Shareholder chooses CGT scrip-forscrip roll-over relief, the capital gain arising on the disposal of their PrimaryMarkets Shares in exchange for Complii Shares should be disregarded.

(B) Cost base and reduced cost base of Complii Shares

If a PrimaryMarkets Shareholder chooses to obtain CGT scrip-for-scrip roll-over relief, the first element of the cost base of the Complii Shares is worked out by attributing, on a reasonable basis, the existing cost base of the PrimaryMarkets Shares that were exchanged for the Complii Shares, to the Complii Shares. The first element of the reduced cost base is worked out similarly.

(C) Acquisition date of Complii Shares

If a PrimaryMarkets Shareholder chooses to obtain CGT scrip-for-scrip roll-over relief, the acquisition date of the Complii Shares for CGT purposes is taken to be the date when the PrimaryMarkets Shareholder originally acquired the corresponding PrimaryMarkets Shares that were exchanged for the Complii Shares.

This acquisition date will be relevant for the purposes of determining whether any entitlement to the CGT discount is available in respect of any future disposal of the Complii Shares (refer below).

(iv) Consequences if CGT scrip-for-scrip roll-over relief is not chosen or is not available

If a PrimaryMarkets Shareholder does not qualify for CGT scripfor-scrip roll-over relief, or a PrimaryMarkets Shareholder chooses not to apply the roll-over relief, the following general treatment should apply.

(A) General CGT Discount

If a PrimaryMarkets Shareholder has held, or is taken to have held, its PrimaryMarkets Shares for at least 12 months at the time of the disposal of its PrimaryMarkets Shares, the general CGT discount provisions may apply. The discount is 50 per cent for individuals and trusts, and 33 1/3 per cent for complying superannuation entities. Companies are not entitled to a CGT discount.

53

If a PrimaryMarkets Shareholder makes a discount capital gain, any available capital losses must be applied to reduce the undiscounted capital gain before the discount is applied. The resulting amount is then included in the PrimaryMarkets Shareholder’s net capital gain for the income year.

In relation to trusts or partnerships including limited partnerships, the rules surrounding capital gains and the CGT discount are complex, but the benefit of the CGT discount may flow through to relevant beneficiaries or partners, subject to certain requirements being satisfied. Such PrimaryMarkets Shareholders should seek separate independent professional advice.

(B) Capital loss

If a PrimaryMarkets Shareholder makes a capital loss from the disposal of their PrimaryMarkets Shares, this may be used to offset capital gains they derive in the same or subsequent years of income (subject to satisfying certain conditions),but cannot be offset against ordinary income nor carried back to offset net capital gains arising in earlier income years.

(C) Cost base and reduced cost base of Complii Shares

The first element of the cost base (and reduced cost base) of the Complii Shares received by a PrimaryMarkets Shareholder should be equal to the Australian Dollar market value of the PrimaryMarkets Shares it exchanges for the Complii Shares.

In the absence of any contrary indication of the market value of the PrimaryMarkets Shares, their market value could be taken to be equal to the market value of the Complii Shares on the date the Complii Shares are issued.

(D) Acquisition date of Complii Shares

The acquisition date of the Complii Shares for PrimaryMarkets Shareholders for CGT discount purposes should the earlier of when the Takeover Offer is accepted or the date of implementation of the Takeover Offer.

This means a PrimaryMarkets Shareholder who is an individual, complying superannuation entity or trust will need to hold the Complii Shares for at least 12 months after that date before the CGT discount (described above) may apply on a subsequent disposal of the Complii Shares.

(v) Partial CGT scrip-for-scrip roll-over relief

As noted above, scrip-for-scrip rollover broadly applies where an interest in one entity (original entity) is exchanged for a

54

replacement interest in another entity (acquiring entity). Importantly, the replacement interest must be of a similar kind to the original interest. For instance, shares must be exchanged for shares.

Where the replacement interest is something other than an interest of a similar kind, it will constitute ‘ineligible proceeds’, which do not qualify for rollover. In this regard, a capital gain will only be partially disregarded if, in addition to shares, the capital proceeds include something other than shares.

Under the proposed takeover offer, the capital proceeds paid to PrimaryMarkets Shareholders in respect of their PrimaryMarkets Shares includes shares and unlisted options in Complii. On this basis, roll-over is denied for the portion of the PrimaryMarkets Shares which is attributable to the unlisted options [ineligible proceeds]. The cost base of the ineligible part is the cost base of the PrimaryMarkets Shares that is reasonably attributable to it.

Unlisted options - ineligible proceeds

In respect of the part of the capital proceeds which is referable to the unlisted options (being ‘ineligible proceeds’), the following general treatment should apply to PrimaryMarkets Shareholders:

  • a capital gain if the market value of the unlisted options received exceeds the portion of the cost base of PrimaryMarkets Shares that is reasonably attributable to the unlisted options; or

  • a capital loss if the market value of the unlisted options received is less than the portion of the reduced cost base of the PrimaryMarkets Shares that is reasonably attributable to the unlisted options.

PrimaryMarkets Shareholder should seek separate independent professional taxation advice as to the application of the rollover, including determining the market value of the unlisted options.

(vi) Ongoing ownership of Complii Shares

The Complii Shares should constitute CGT assets for CGT purposes.

Dividends or other distributions paid to Complii Shareholders in relation to their Complii Shares should generally be subject to the same income tax treatment as dividends and other distributions paid in respect of their former PrimaryMarkets Shares when held in the same circumstances.

Any future sale of the Complii Shares will generally result in Australian CGT implications as described above. These will differ depending upon whether or not, and the extent to which, scripfor-scrip roll-over relief was chosen on disposal of the PrimaryMarkets Shares pursuant to the Takeover Offer.

Australian tax residents who hold their Complii Shares on revenue account, as trading stock, are subject to the rules in

55

Division 230 ITAA 1997 concerning the taxation of financial arrangements or acquired their existing PrimaryMarkets Shares under an employee share or option scheme, should seek separate independent professional tax advice.

(vii) Provision of Tax File Number (TFN) or Australian Business Number (ABN)

Australian tax legislation imposes withholding tax at the highest marginal rate (currently 45% plus Medicare levy of 2%) on the payment of distributions on certain types of investments, such as the unfranked part of any dividend, where no TFN or ABN (if applicable) has been provided and no exemption applies. Australian tax residents may be able to claim a tax credit/refund (as applicable) in respect of any tax withheld in their income tax returns.

PrimaryMarkets Shareholders that wish to accept the Takeover Offer should also ensure that they provide their TFN or ABN (if applicable) to Complii in due course to ensure that withholding tax is not deducted from any future distribution payable to them. An Complii Shareholder is not obliged to provide their TFN, or where relevant, ABN to Complii.

8.3 Other Australian taxes

Goods and services tax ( GST ) and transfer duty should generally not be payable in relation to the disposal of PrimaryMarkets Shares under the Takeover Offer, the issue of Complii Shares under the Takeover Offer, or any subsequent disposal of Complii Shares.

PrimaryMarkets Shareholders who are registered for GST purposes may not be entitled to full input tax credits for any GST incurred on costs associated with acquiring or disposing of securities in Complii or PrimaryMarkets. This will depend on each PrimaryMarkets Shareholder’s particular circumstances and as such, each PrimaryMarkets Shareholder should seek their own professional tax advice prior to making any claim.

56

9. RISK FACTORS

9.1 Overview

This risk factors included below in respect to the business of the PrimaryMarkets Group has been prepared by Complii using information provided to Complii by the PrimaryMarkets Group, as well as publicly available information. The information concerning the PrimaryMarkets Group has not been independently verified. Complii does not, subject to any applicable laws, make any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of this information. The information on PrimaryMarkets is not considered to be comprehensive.

The business activities of Complii and the Combined Group are subject to various risks that may impact on the future performance of Complii and the Combined Group. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are outside the control of Complii and the Combined Group and cannot be mitigated.

If the Takeover Offer becomes unconditional, PrimaryMarkets Shareholders who accept the Takeover Offer will become Complii Shareholders. In those circumstances, PrimaryMarkets Shareholders will:

  • (a) continue to be exposed to the risks associated to the investment in PrimaryMarkets as a result of their indirect interest in PrimaryMarkets through Complii;

  • (b) be exposed to the risks which are specific to an investment in Complii; and

  • (c) be exposed to additional risks relating to the Takeover Offer and the Combined Group.

The risks outlined in this Section 9 are not necessarily exhaustive. PrimaryMarkets Shareholders should read the Bidder’s Statement carefully and consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to accept the Takeover Offer. By accepting the Takeover Offer, PrimaryMarkets Shareholders will be investing in Complii.

Accordingly, an investment in the Combined Group carries no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital or price at which shares will trade and should be considered speculative. The principal risk factors include, but are not limited to, the following.

9.2 Risks Relating to the Takeover Offer

(a) Issue of Complii Securities as consideration

PrimaryMarkets Shareholders are being offered specific quantities of Complii Securities as consideration under the Takeover Offer. The value of the Consideration will fluctuate depending upon the market value of Complii Shares. The market value of the Complii Shares at the time you receive them may vary significantly from their market value on the date of your acceptance of the Takeover Offer.

There can be no assurance that there will be, or continue to be, an active market for Complii Shares or that the price of Complii Shares will increase. As a result, PrimaryMarkets Shareholders may, upon selling their Intier

57

Shares, receive a market price for their securities that is less than the price at the date of this Bidder's Statement.

(b) Sale of Complii Shares

Under the Takeover Offer, Complii will issue a significant number of new Complii Shares. Some holders of Complii Shares may not intend to continue to hold their Complii Shares and may wish to sell them. There is a risk that this may adversely impact on the price of and demand for Complii Shares.

(c) Transaction and other costs

Transaction and other cash costs incurred (or which are expected to be incurred by Complii) in relation to the successful implementation of the Takeover Offer are currently estimated at approximately $100,000 (exclusive of GST), comprising adviser, legal, accounting, expert fees, planned redundancy costs and various other costs.

(d) Change in Control Risk

As the Takeover Offer will, if successful, result in a change in control of PrimaryMarkets, there may be adverse consequences for the Combined Group. For example, the terms of the contracts to which PrimaryMarkets is a party may entitle the other party to the contract to terminate the contract or revise its terms in the event of a change of control of PrimaryMarkets.

(e) Merger Integration

The integration of Complii and PrimaryMarkets may produce some risks, including the integration of management, information systems and work practices. There is no guarantee that any synergy benefits or costs savings will be achieved on time or at all.

(f) Stamp Duty and Government Charges

Stamp duty and other government charges may be payable by Complii in relation to the Takeover Offer. The amount of these duties and charges may be material.

(g) Forward Looking Information

Certain information in this Bidder’s Statement constitutes forward looking information that is subject to risks and uncertainties and a number of assumptions, which may cause the actual expenditure of the Combined Group to be different from the expectations expressed or implied in this Bidder’s Statement.

(h) Due Diligence

In preparing the information relating to the PrimaryMarkets Group contained in this Bidder’s Statement, Complii has relied on publicly available information relating to the PrimaryMarkets Group and information provided by the PrimaryMarkets Group. Risks may exist in relation to the PrimaryMarkets Group (which will affect the Combined Group) of which Complii is unaware.

58

9.3 Specific Risks Relating to the Combined Group

(a) The pro forma consolidated financial statements of the Combined Group are presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be an indication of the Combined Group’s financial conditions or results of operations following the Takeover Offer

The Combined Group’s pro forma consolidated financial statements contained in this Bidder’s Statement are presented for illustrative purposes only as of their respective dates and may not be an indication of the financial condition or results of operations of the Combined Group following the Takeover Offer for several reasons. For example, the pro forma consolidated financial statements have been derived from the respective consolidated historical financial statements of Complii and PrimaryMarkets, and certain adjustments and assumptions made as of the dates indicated therein have been made to give effect to the Takeover Offer and the other relevant transactions. The information upon which these adjustments and assumptions have been made is preliminary and these kinds of adjustments and assumptions are difficult to make with complete accuracy. Moreover, the pro forma consolidated financial statements do not reflect all costs expected to be incurred by the Combined Group in connection with the Takeover Offer. For example, the impact of any incremental costs incurred in integrating Complii and PrimaryMarkets is not reflected in unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements.

(b) The Combined Group may not be able to effectively manage its growth and operations, which could materially and adversely affect its business

The Combined Group may, in the future, experience rapid growth and development in a relatively short period of time. The management of this growth will require, among other things, proper integration and continued development of the Combined Group’s financial and management controls and management information systems, stringent control of costs, the ability to attract and retain qualified management personnel and the training of new personnel. Failure to successfully manage its possible growth and development could have a material adverse effect on the Combined Group’s business and the value of the shares of the Combined Group .

(c) Trading Price of Shares

The Combined Group’s credit quality, operating results, economic and financial prospects and other factors may affect the trading price of the shares of the Combined Group. In addition, the price of Complii Shares is subject to varied and often unpredictable influences on the market for equities, including, but not limited to general economic conditions including the Australian dollar performance on world markets, commodity price fluctuations, inflation rates, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, variations in the general market for listed stocks in general, changes to government policy, legislation or regulation, industrial disputes, general operational and business risks and hedging or arbitrage trading activity that may develop involving the shares of the Combined Group. No assurances can be made that the Combined Group’s market performance will not be adversely affected by any such market fluctuations or factors.

59

(d) Potential acquisitions

As part of its business strategy, the Combined Group may make acquisitions of, or significant investments in, companies or assets. Any such transactions will be accompanied by risks commonly encountered in making such acquisitions.

(e)

Climate Change

There are a number of climate-related factors that may affect the operations and proposed activities of the Combined Group. The climate change risks particularly attributable to the Combined Group include:

  • (i) the emergence of new or expanded regulations associated with the transitioning to a lower-carbon economy and market changes related to climate change mitigation. The Combined Group may be impacted by changes to local or international compliance regulations related to climate change mitigation efforts, or by specific taxation or penalties for carbon emissions or environmental damage. These examples sit amongst an array of possible restraints on industry that may further impact the Combined Group and its profitability. While the Combined Group will endeavour to manage these risks and limit any consequential impacts, there can be no guarantee that the Combined Group will not be impacted by these occurrences; and

  • (ii) climate change may cause certain physical and environmental risks that cannot be predicted by the Combined Group, including events such as increased severity of weather patterns and incidence of extreme weather events and longer-term physical risks such as shifting climate patterns. All these risks associated with climate change may significantly change the industry in which the Combined Group operates.

(f) Taxation Risk

Future changes in taxation law in Australia, including changes in interpretation or application of the law by courts or taxation authorities in Australia, may affect taxation treatment of an investment in the Combined Group, or the holding or disposal of shares of the Combined Group. Further changes in taxation law, or the way in which the Combined Group operates, may impact the Combined Group’s future tax liabilities and may affect the Combined Group’s ability to provide returns to shareholders and/or alter the post–tax returns to shareholders.

(g) Reliance on Key Management

The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Combined Group depends substantially on its senior management and its key personnel. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Combined Group if one or more of these employees cease their employment.

60

9.4 General Risks Relating to the Merged Group

(a) Competition Risk

The industry in which the Combined Group is involved is subject to domestic and global competition. Although Complii considers that it undertakes all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, Complii has no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, which activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of the Combined Group’s business and operations following completion of the Takeover Offer.

(b) Economic Risk

General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Combined Group’s business and operations, as well as on its ability to fund those operations.

Further, share market conditions may affect the value of Complii’s quoted securities regardless of the Combined Group’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

  • (i) general economic outlook;

  • (ii) interest rates and inflation rates;

  • (iii) currency fluctuations;

  • (iv) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;

  • (v) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and

  • (vi) terrorism or other hostilities.

(c) Share Market

There are general risks associated with any investment and the share market. The price of the shares of the Combined Group on ASX may rise and fall depending on a range of factors beyond the control of the Combined Group and which are unrelated to the Combined Group’s financial performance. These factors may include movements on international stock markets, interest rates and exchange rates, together with domestic and international economic conditions, inflation rates, investor perceptions, changes in government policy, commodity supply and demand, government taxation and royalties, war, global hostilities and acts of terrorism.

(d) Regulatory Risk

Complii and the PrimaryMarkets Group are based in Australia and is subject to Australian laws and regulations. For example, Complii and the PrimaryMarkets Group are currently and will, after completion of the Takeover Offer, continue to be required to comply with the Corporations Act. Changes in relevant taxes, legal and administration regimes, accounting practice and government policies in the countries in which

61

the Combined Group operates, and may operate, may adversely affect the financial performance of the Combined Group.

(e)

Additional Requirements for Capital

The Combined Group may be required to raise additional funds in the future in the event business, operational, research and development costs exceed its estimates, to effectively implement its business and operations plans in the future, to take advantage of opportunities for acquisitions, joint ventures or other business opportunities, and to meet any unanticipated liabilities or expenses which the Combined Group may incur.

The Combined Group may seek to raise further funds through equity or debt financing, joint ventures, production sharing arrangements or other means. There can be no assurance that additional finance will be available when needed or, if available, the terms of the financing might not be favourable to the Combined Group and might involve substantial dilution to shareholders of the Combined Group.

Loan agreements and other financing rearrangements such as debt facilities, convertible note issues and finance leases (and any related guarantee and security) that may be entered into by the Combined Group may contain covenants, undertakings and other provisions which, if breached, may entitle lenders to accelerate repayment of loans and there is no assurance that the Combined Group would be able to repay such loans in the event of an acceleration. Enforcement of any security granted by the Combined Group or default under a finance lease could also result in the loss of assets.

(f) Force Majeure

The Combined Group’s operations now or in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Combined Group including labour unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics, pandemics or quarantine restrictions.

(g) Coronavirus (COVID-19) Risk

The outbreak of the coronavirus disease ( COVID-19 ) is impacting global economic markets. The nature and extent of the effect of the outbreak on the performance of Complii, the PrimaryMarkets Group and the Combined Group remains unknown. The share price of the Combined Group may be adversely affected in the short to medium term by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Further, any governmental or industry measures taken in response to COVID-19 may adversely impact the Combined Group’s operations and are likely to be beyond the control of the Combined Group.

The Complii Directors are monitoring the situation closely and have considered the impact of COVID-19 on Complii’s business and financial performance. However, the situation is continually evolving, and the consequences are therefore inevitably uncertain. In compliance with its continuous disclosure obligations, Complii will continue to update the market in regard to the impact of COVID-19 on its revenue channels and any adverse impact on Complii. If any of these impacts appear material

62

prior to close of the Takeover Offer, Complii will notify investors under a supplementary bidder’s statement.

(h) Litigation Risks

The Combined Group will be exposed to possible litigation risks including environmental claims, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, the Combined Group may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Combined Group’s operations, financial performance and financial position. Complii is not currently engaged in any litigation.

Chairman's Letter

Dear PrimaryMarkets Shareholder,

On 14 September 2021, Complii Fintech Solutions Ltd (ASX.CF1) ( Complii ) exchanged a Bid Implementation Agreement with PrimaryMarkets and on 15 September 2021, Complii made an ASX announcement of its intention to make an off-market takeover offer for all PrimaryMarkets Shares.

For each PrimaryMarkets Share held, Complii is offering each holder of PrimaryMarkets Shares the aggregate of:

  1. 1.6838 Complii Shares; plus

  2. 0.2566 Complii Tranche 1 Options; plus

  3. 0.3368 Complii Tranche 2 Options.

The Directors of PrimaryMarkets have carefully considered the Offer and unanimously recommend that, in the absence of a superior offer, you ACCEPT the Offer for the following reasons:

  • PrimaryMarkets believes that there are significant synergies in combining with Complii.

  • Complii:

  • Owns and operates a digital platform which provides an electronic framework that centralises and manages AFSL (Stockbroker/Financial Planner/Adviser) centric workflows for compliance, capital raising and operational efficiencies.

  • Operates within the financial technology sector, with a vision of becoming the financial services industry standard in targeted risk, compliance and business technology.

  • Provides solutions to the financial services sector covering compliance, capital raising, e-learning, account opening and online portfolio management tools. These solutions are primarily provided through the Complii Platform, a modular and customisable platform that provides a digital solution to meet specific business, compliance and operational needs of financial organisations, their advisers and investors.

  • PrimaryMarkets enables secondary trading (buying and selling) of securities in unlisted companies and funds in a controlled, transparent and efficient online platform environment. As well as providing companies with access to its investor network, it also assists companies with their capital raising and share registry requirements.

  • Complii and Primary have complementary histories, progressing from start-up ideas to revenue generating businesses, having successfully developed working applications and built substantial relationship networks.

2

  • FY21 Highlights of Complii (as per their Annual Report dated 31[st] August 2021) include:

  • Cash reserves of $3.99M (excluding an R&D tax incentive rebate of circa $900,000 expected to be received in 2H 2021).

  • Gross revenue of $2.72M.

  • Annual recurring/annuity revenue of $2.15M.

  • Customer base of over 100 stockbroking and AFSL holder organisations using the Complii system.

  • Australian Investment Exchange (AUSIEX), one of Australia's leading providers of trade execution, went live on the Complii Platform as scheduled in May 2021.

  • $14.7B of funds raised via Complii's "AdviserBid" module for Complii's AFSL clients.

  • In December 2020:

  • Intiger Group Limited (ASX.IAM) ( Intiger ) completed:

    • A capital raising of $7M at $0.05 per share.

    • The reverse takeover of Complii Fintech Solutions Limited by the issuance of new Intiger shares at $0.05 each together with unlisted Tranche 1 options (each with a 2 year term and an exercise price $0.05) and unlisted Tranche 2 options (each with a 2 year term and an exercise price of $0.10) ( Intiger Reverse Takeover ).

    • A change of board including, amongst other changes, the appointment of experienced executives: Mr Craig Mason as Executive Chairman and Ms Alison Sarich as CEO.

o Intiger changed its name to Complii FinTech Solutions Ltd and its ASX code to CF1.

  • PrimaryMarkets is of the opinion that the Proposed Transaction will provide both Complii and PrimaryMarkets with additional complementary business to their respective current operations.

  • PrimaryMarkets believes that the combined suite of products can be rolled-out as an all-inone solution for their respective existing networks therefore potentially producing significant growth and revenue upside for Complii.

  • It is expected that, together, PrimaryMarkets and Complii will be able to provide technology to accredited and sophisticated investors to enable them to invest in and trade securities in unlisted companies, bringing visibility and transparency to an otherwise opaque market.

  • There are multiple potential revenue sources including subscription, listing, transaction and SAAS licence fees.

  • Together, the combined resources and expertise of Complii and PrimaryMarkets should present as an attractive investment proposition.

  • Consequently, the PrimaryMarkets' Board unanimously views the opportunity to combine its operations with Complii as an attractive proposition for PrimaryMarkets Shareholders and an important step forward in the continued growth of PrimaryMarkets.

3

  • Based on the last capital raising issue price of $0.0995 per ordinary share, PrimaryMarkets had a pre-money valuation (undiluted) of approximately $5.5M.

  • The Takeover Offer values of PrimaryMarkets at approximately $6.5M (based on the last traded price on ASX of Complii Shares on 21 September 2021 and including Black-Scholes valuations of both Tranche 1 Options and Tranche 2 Options) (see Section 2.8(a)).

  • The Board of PrimaryMarkets believes the Proposed Transaction is an attractive offer.

The Bidder's Offer is subject to a number of conditions as set out in the Bidder's Statement including, amongst other things:

  • (a) ( 90% minimum acceptance condition ): that during, or at the end of the Offer Period, Complii acquires a Relevant Interest in at least 90% of all PrimaryMarkets Shares;

  • (b) ( superior offer ) that between the date of the Bidder's Statement and the end of the Offer Period, no bidder's statement detailing a superior offer by a third party for PrimaryMarkets Shares is dispatched to any holders of PrimaryMarkets Shares, and no announcement of a superior bid is made by a third party; or

  • (c) ( prescribed occurrences ) that none of the events set out in section 652C(1) or (2) of the Corporations Act occurs in relation to PrimaryMarkets during the period from the date of the Bidder's Statement to the end of the Offer Period.

On their own behalf and on behalf of their respective investing entities, all PrimaryMarkets Directors intend to accept the Offer in respect of the PrimaryMarkets Shares that they control in the absence of a superior offer.

As at the date of this Target's Statement, the Directors of PrimaryMarkets have a Relevant Interest in 40.02% of the issued PrimaryMarkets Shares.

If Complii acquires 100% of PrimaryMarkets Shares then PrimaryMarkets Shareholders are expected to own approximately 26% of Complii on an undiluted basis and approximately 27% on a fully diluted basis[1] .

To ACCEPT the Offer, you will need to follow the instructions set out in Section 11.4 of the Bidder's Statement.

We will update PrimaryMarkets Shareholders with any material developments in relation to the Offer via email or as otherwise required by the Corporations Act.

Yours sincerely,

A summary of the reasons for your Directors' recommendation is as follows:

  • (a) The Offer consideration represents good value for Shareholders

  • (i) Based on the last capital raising issue price of $0.0995 per ordinary share, PrimaryMarkets had a pre-money valuation (undiluted) of approximately $5.5M.

  • (ii) The Takeover Offer values PrimaryMarkets at approximately $6.5M (based upon last trade price on ASX of Complii Shares on 21 September 2021 and Black-Scholes valuations of both Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 Options) (see Section 2.8(a)).

(b) Major Shareholders intend to sell

The Directors of PrimaryMarkets understand that each of Conrad Corporation Pty Limited (Gavin Solomon's related entity), James Green and River Properties Pty Ltd (each being substantial holders (i.e. 5% or greater Shareholders of PrimaryMarkets)) intend, in the absence of a superior offer, to accept the Offer. If these Shareholders accept the Offer, this will result in Complii acquiring a Relevant Interest in 41.54% of PrimaryMarkets' issued share capital.

11

(c) No Superior offers have been announced

As at the date of this Target's Statement, the Directors of PrimaryMarkets are not aware of any offers other than Complii's Offer and are not in a position to provide Shareholders with information in relation to the probability of an alternative transaction arising.

  • (iii) Integration of the Complii and PrimaryMarkets Platforms and businesses including integrating the PrimaryMarkets trading Platform into the Complii Platform and suite of products (as well as the integration of additional investor and relationship networks).

  • (iv) The potential to combine Complii's existing business with PrimaryMarkets to provide a trading platform to enable its existing private investor base to trade in the securities of unlisted private and public companies and funds.

  • (v) The acquisition should provide both companies with an inclusive trading platform and the capability for the Complii Platform to broaden its revenue model from a SaaS model to a transaction-based model, whereby Complii will benefit from the commissions and broker fees realised by the Platform.

(e) Corporate efficiencies

The Directors of PrimaryMarkets believe that the takeover will create corporate efficiencies especially in relation to software build out programs, back-office as well as marketing and network development personnel.

(f) Broadening of investor base and improved liquidity

On completion of the Offer all PrimaryMarkets shareholders will be issued with Complii Shares which the Directors of PrimaryMarkets believe will be more liquid as they are shares in an ASX listed entity.
