Under the Rights Offer, Conico will make an offer to all eligible shareholders of one (1) fully paid ordinary Conico share (“ Share ”) for every (6) fully paid ordinary Conico Shares held as at the Record Date, at a price of $0.013 per Share, together with one for two free attaching options to acquire Shares at $0.026 each on or before 31 December 2026 (“ Options ”). Further details of the Rights Issue were set out in the market announcement made by Conico on 31 March 2022.

RM Corporate Finance Pty Ltd (AFSL 315235) (“ Sub-Underwriter ”) has, pursuant to a subunderwriting agreement dated 11 April 2022 (“ Sub-Underwriting Agreement ”), agreed to subunderwrite one third (approximately 33.33%) of the shortfall securities that Peloton has agreed to underwrite pursuant to the Peloton UA. This equates to a maximum sub-underwriting of 63,902,617 Shares (together with one for two free attaching Options), for a maximum amount of $830,734.02 (“ the Sub-Underwritten Amount ”), assuming no valid applications are received from eligible shareholders under the Rights Offer.
Peloton will pay to the Sub-Underwriter a fee of 5% of the Sub-Underwritten Amount (plus GST) (being $41,537 plus GST) (“ Sub-Underwriting Fee ”), provided the Sub-Underwriter complies with all provisions of the Sub-underwriting Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions of the Sub-underwriting Agreement
The Sub-Underwriter is a company associated with Conico directors Guy Le Page and James Richardson. The Sub-Underwriting Agreement will terminate automatically upon termination of the Peloton UA, howsoever occurring.
The Peloton UA contains provisions entitling Peloton to terminate the Peloton UA upon the occurrence of one or more events or circumstances (" Events of Termination "). The SubUnderwriter has agreed that Peloton’s right of termination under the Peloton UA is at the sole discretion of Peloton and if Peloton elects not to terminate the Peloton UA, despite being entitled to do so, the Sub-Underwriter agrees, subject to clause 3.1(b) of the Sub-Underwriting Agreement, to be bound by such election and will be obliged to perform all of the obligations of the Sub-Underwriter under the Sub-Underwriting Agreement.
