2.4 Effect of the issue on capital structure
The capital structure of the Company following the issue of the Series 2 Notes is set out below (assuming the Company receives applications for the maximum amount of $4,994,800):
| Type of security | Securities prior to the issue of Tranche A Series 2 Notes |
Securities following the issue of the Tranche A Series 2 Notes |
Securities following the issue of the Tranche A and Tranche B Series 2 Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shares | 101,929,174 | 101,929,174 | 101,929,174 |
| Listed options | 81,577,598 | 81,577,598 | 81,577,598 |

10,205,788 | 10,205,788 | 10,205,788 |
| Series 1 Notes | 20,000 | 20,000 | 20,000 |
| Series 2 Notes | - | 6,948 | 49,948 |
Noteholders can elect to convert the Tranche A Series 2 Notes (in whole or in part) into Shares at any time between 1 July 2017 and the maturity date. Subject to Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (Resolution 4), noteholders can also elect to convert the Tranche B Series 2 Notes (in whole or in part) into Shares at any time between 1 July 2017 and the maturity date.
The number of Shares issued on conversion of each Series 2 Note will be calculated by dividing the face value plus all accrued and unpaid interest and any Revenue Premiums and/or Remuneration Premiums (as described above) by the Conversion Price.
Accordingly, the number of Shares that may be issued on conversion of the Series 2 Notes is contingent on a number of factors.
Assuming:
-
(a) Shareholders approve the conversion rights of the Tranche B Series 2 Notes (Resolution 4);
-
(b) noteholders elect to convert all Series 2 Notes;
-
(c) a conversion price of $0.15 and no adjustments; and

then the following Shares (subject to rounding) would be issued:
| Tranche A Series 2 Notes Face Value |
$694,800 | @ $0.15 | 4,632,000 Shares |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tranche A Series 2 Notes Accrued and unpaid interest |
$138,265 |
@ $0.15 | 921,766 Shares |
| Tranche B Series 2 Notes Face Value |
$4,300,000 | @ $0.15 | 28,666,666 Shares |
| Tranche B Series 2 Notes Accrued and unpaid interest |
$855,700 | @ $0.15 | 5,704,666 Shares |
| Total | $5,988,765 | 39,925,098 Shares |
3 Resolution 3: Ratification of the issue of Tranche A Series 2 Notes
As noted above, the Conversion Price is contingent on the issue price at which the Company may issue Shares in the future (but before conversion). The table below depicts the effect the issue price of future issues will have on the conversion price and accordingly the number of Shares to be issued on conversion of the Series 2 Notes (based on the other assumptions set out in the above example):
| If the Company issues Shares at this price |
The Conversion Price will be this |
And the following Shares would be issued (subject to rounding) |
|---|---|---|
| 7.5 cents | 6 cents | 99,812,748 Shares |
| 15 cents | 12 cents | 49,906,374 Shares |
| 30 cents | 15 cents | 39,925,098 Shares |
The Company will apply for all Shares issued on conversion to be quoted on ASX.

-
(b) otherwise on identical terms as the Series 2 Notes.
Resolution 5 seeks shareholder approval to authorise the Company to, subject to the satisfaction of the Condition Precedent, issue the Amended Series 1 Notes and the maximum number of Shares that may be required to be issued to noteholders upon the exercise of its rights to convert the Amended Series 1 Notes to Shares.
5.2 Advantages and disadvantages of amending the Series 1 Notes
The Board considers that amending the terms of the Series 1 Notes has the following key advantages for the Company:
-
(a) noteholder can elect to extend the maturity date, which would extend the redemption obligations of the Company;
-
(b) the interest rate payable by the Company is lower; and
-
(a) the Company will have the ability to redeem early (although the Company must pay an early repayment premium of 10%).
The Board considers that amending the terms of the Series 1 Notes has the following key disadvantages for the Company:
-
(b) the number of Shares that may be issued on conversion will increase, which has the potential to dilute Shareholders;
-
(c) the amended terms carry the conditional right to receive Bonus Options, which again has the potential to dilute Shareholders; and
-
(d) the Company may have to pay the Remuneration Premium and/or the Revenue Premium to noteholders on redemption of the notes or issue additional Shares on conversion of the notes.
5.3 Effect on capital structure
As with the Series 2 Notes, holders of Amended Series 1 Notes will be able to elect to convert the Amended Series 1 Notes (in whole or in part) into Shares at any time between 1 July 2017 and the maturity date.
The number of Shares issued on conversion of each Amended Series 1 Note will be calculated by dividing the face value plus all accrued and unpaid interest and any Revenue Premiums and/or Remuneration Premium (as described above) by the Conversion Price.
Accordingly, the number of Shares that may be issued on conversion of the Amended Series 1 Notes is contingent on a number of factors.
Assuming:
-
(a) noteholders elect to wholly convert all Amended Series 1 Notes;
-
(b) a conversion price of $0.15 and no adjustments;
-
(c) no interest is paid prior to conversion and assuming all noteholders of Amended Series 1 Notes elect to have a maturity date the same as Series 2 Notes; and
-
(d) no Revenue Premium or Remuneration Premium (as described above) being payable,
then the following Shares (subject to rounding) would be issued:
| Amended Series 1 Notes Face Value |
$2,000,000 | @ $0.15 | 13,333,333 Shares |
|---|---|---|---|
| Accrued and unpaid interest | $398,000 | @ $0.15 | 2,653,333 Shares |
| **Total ** | $2,398,000 | 15,986,666 Shares |
As noted above, the Conversion Price is contingent on the issue price at which the Company may issue Shares in the future (but before conversion). The table below depicts the effect the issue price of future issues will have on the conversion price and accordingly the number of Shares to be issued on conversion of the Amended Series 1 Notes (based on the other assumptions set out in the above example):
| If the Company issues Shares at this price |
The Conversion Price will be this |
And the following Shares would be issued (subject to rounding) |
|---|---|---|
| 7.5 cents | 6 cents | 39,966,666 Shares |
| 15 cents | 12 cents | 19,983,332 Shares |
| 30 cents | 15 cents | 15,986,666 Shares |
The Company will apply for all Shares to be issued on conversion of the Amended Series 1 Notes to be quoted on ASX.
5.4 ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.2 (Exception 4)
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 1.2 above.

In order to compensate Lucerne for this introduction, the Company and Lucerne have entered into a placement agreement pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue 2,000,000 Shares to Lucerne ( First Tranche ).

If the Company or its related bodies corporate achieve $5 million in software-based sales revenue from Oracle customers (excluding dongle hardware sales) then the Company has agreed to issue a further 1,000,000 Shares to Lucerne ( Second Tranche ).
If the Company or its related bodies corporate achieve $5 million from Oracle certification of service oriented architecture integration with CRM, then the Company has agreed to issue a further 2,000,000 Shares to Lucerne ( Third Tranche ).
If the Company fails to issue any Shares to Lucerne when required under the placement agreement, the Company must pay Lucerne a cash amount equivalent to the value of the Shares that have not been issued to Lucerne based on the volume weighted average price of Shares.
