Dear Shareholder
CONNECTED IO LIMITED - PRO-RATA NON-RENOUNCEABLE ENTITLEMENT OFFER
As announced on 28 May 2021, Connected IO Limited (ACN 009 076 233) ( Company ) is undertaking a pro rata non-renounceable entitlement offer of up to approximately 533,079,662 shares ( Offer ) to raise up to approximately $1,066,159 on the basis of 1 new share ( New Share ) for every 1 share held at an issue price of $0.002 per New Share. The Company expects to lodge an offer document for the Offer ( Offer Document ) with the ASX today.
The Offer is fully underwritten by 708 Capital Pty Ltd.
The funds raised from the Offer are planned to be used towards debt repayment, associated interest costs, expenses of the Offer and working capital.
New Shares will rank equally with all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ( Shares ) already on issue.
The Offer is being made to all shareholders of the Company ( Shareholders ) named on its register of members at 5:00 pm (WST) on 2 June 2021 ( Record Date ), whose registered address is in Australia or New Zealand.
The Offer is being made by the Company in accordance with section 708AA of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Corporations Act ) as notionally modified by the ASIC Corporations (Non-Traditional Rights Issues) Instrument 2016/84 , meaning that no prospectus or other disclosure document needs to be prepared.
The Company has determined that it would be unreasonable to extend the Offer to any shareholder with a registered address outside Australia or New Zealand ( Ineligible Shareholders ), having regard to:
-
(a) the small number of shareholders with addresses in such countries;
-
(b) the number and value of shares they hold; and
-
(c) the cost to the Company of complying with applicable legal and regulatory requirements in such other countries.
