Chairman’s Letter

Coventry – Retail Entitlement Offer

Dear Shareholder,

On behalf of the Directors of Coventry, I am pleased to invite you to participate in Coventry’s recently announced underwritten 1 for 5 accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer ( Entitlement Offer ) of new Coventry Shares ( New Shares ) at an issue price of $1.15 per New Share ( Issue Price ).

Entitlement Offer

On 26 September 2018, Coventry announced its intention to raise approximately $15 million (less expenses) by way of a private placement ( Placement ), accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer to Institutional Investors ( Institutional Entitlement Offer ) and a non-renounceable entitlement offer to Retail Investors ( Retail Entitlement Offer ).

The Entitlement Offer is underwritten by Bell Potter Securities Limited ( Underwriter ), subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement (see Section 4.12 for more details).

Use of proceeds

The proceeds of the Entitlement Offer will be used to fund the acquisition of Torque Industries, a diversified engineering company providing mainly hydraulic and pneumatic products and services, and for working capital.

Retail Entitlement Offer

This letter relates to the Retail Entitlement Offer, which will raise approximately $4.2 million (less expenses). Under the Retail Entitlement Offer, Eligible Retail Shareholders can subscribe for 1 New Share for every 5 Shares held as at the Record Date at an Issue Price of $1.15 per New Share. The Issue Price represents a discount of 8.0% to the $1.25 closing price of Shares on 25 September 2018.

The New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer will rank equally with existing Shares and will be entitled to all future distributions of Coventry.

The number of New Shares for which you are entitled to subscribe under the Retail Entitlement Offer ( Entitlement ) is set out in your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form that will accompany this Retail Offer Booklet when it is despatched to Eligible Retail Shareholders on 3 October 2018. Eligible Retail Shareholders who take up their full Entitlement may also apply for Additional New Shares in excess of their Entitlement at the Issue Price. The allocation of Additional New Shares will be at the discretion of the Board and the Underwriter and may be subject to scale back.

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable and therefore your Entitlements will not be tradeable on the ASX or otherwise transferrable. If you do not participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer, your Entitlement will lapse and you will receive no value for those lapsed Entitlements.

If you decide to take this opportunity to increase your investment in Coventry please ensure that, before 5.00pm (Melbourne time) on Friday, 12 October 2018, you have paid your Application Monies by BPAY® in accordance with the instructions that are set out in the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form that will accompany this Retail Offer Booklet, or otherwise that your completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form and your Application Monies are received in cleared funds by the Registry before the closing date of the Retail Entitlement Offer.

You should read both documents carefully and in their entirety before deciding whether or not to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer.

As a result, it is important for you to read and understand this Retail Offer Booklet in its entirety, along with the publicly available information on Coventry and the Entitlement Offer (for example, the information available on the ASX's website www.asx.com.au) prior to deciding whether to accept your Entitlement and apply for New Shares.

If you are in doubt as to the course you should follow, you should seek appropriate professional advice before making an investment decision.

2. Consider the Retail Entitlement Offer in light of your particular investment objectives and circumstances

Please consult with your stockbroker, accountant or other independent professional adviser if you have any queries or are uncertain about any aspects of the Retail Entitlement Offer.

An investment in New Shares is subject to both known and unknown risks, some of which are beyond the control of Coventry. These risks include the possible loss of income and principal invested. Coventry does not guarantee any return or any particular rate of return or the performance on the New Shares offered under the Retail Entitlement Offer or the performance of Coventry, nor does it guarantee the repayment of capital from Coventry. In considering an investment in New Shares, investors should have regard to (among other things) the "Risk Factors" section in the Investor Presentation and the disclaimers outlined in this Retail Offer Booklet.

3. Decide what you want to do

of their Entitlement they subscribe for and the Additional New Shares applied for and allocated to them, at the discretion of the Board and the Underwriter.

Section 1 - Overview of the Offer

1.1 Overview

Coventry intends to raise approximately $15 million through the Placement and the underwritten Entitlement Offer, which comprises the Institutional Entitlement Offer and the Retail Entitlement Offer.

The Placement will be made to Institutional Investors to raise approximately $6.4 million at an issue price of $1.15 per Share.

Under the Entitlement Offer, Coventry is offering Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 5 Shares held on the Record Date. The Issue Price per New Share is $1.15, the same price as offered to Institutional Investors under the Placement.

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable, which means that the Entitlements cannot be traded or otherwise transferred on the ASX or any other exchange or privately. If you do not participate in the Entitlement Offer, you will not receive any value for your Entitlement.

Please refer to the ASX Announcements and the Investor Presentation annexed to this Retail Offer Booklet for information on the rationale of the Entitlement Offer, the use of the proceeds of the Entitlement Offer, and for further information on Coventry and its strategy.

1.2 Institutional Entitlement Offer

On 26 September 2018, Eligible Institutional Shareholders were given the opportunity to take up all or part of their Entitlement under the Institutional Entitlement Offer. The Institutional Entitlement Offer will raise approximately $4.2 million at an issue price of $1.15 per Share.

New Shares equivalent to the number not taken up by Eligible Institutional Shareholders under the Institutional Entitlement Offer were offered to Eligible Institutional Shareholders who applied for New Shares in excess of their Entitlement.

1.3 Retail Entitlement Offer

Under the Retail Entitlement Offer, Eligible Retail Shareholders are being invited to subscribe for all or part of their Entitlement and are being sent this Retail Offer Booklet with a personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

Coventry is also offering Eligible Retail Shareholders the opportunity to apply for Additional New Shares in excess of their Entitlement. The allocation of Additional New Shares will be at the discretion of the Board and the Underwriter and subject to scale back. Allotment of Additional New Shares (if any) will take place along with allotment of New Shares offered under the Retail Entitlement Offer on 19 October 2018.

The Retail Entitlement Offer constitutes an offer only to Eligible Retail Shareholders, being Shareholders on the Record Date who have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand and are eligible under all applicable laws to receive an offer under the Retail Entitlement Offer. A person in the United States or acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States (to the extent such person holds Shares for the account or benefit of such person in the United States) or an Institutional Shareholder (other than a nominee to the extent that the nominee holds Shares on behalf of an Eligible Retail Shareholder) is not entitled to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer.

11

Doc ID 585099363/v7

Determination of eligibility of investors for the purposes of the Entitlement Offer is by reference to a number of matters, including legal requirements and the discretion of Coventry and the Underwriter. Coventry and the Underwriter disclaim any liability in respect of the exercise or otherwise of that discretion, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

The Retail Entitlement Offer closes at 5.00pm (Melbourne time) on Friday, 12 October 2018, with New Shares expected to be allotted on Friday, 19 October 2018.

The Retail Entitlement Offer is underwritten by the Underwriter, and seeks to raise approximately $4.2 million (less expenses). The Issue Price under the Retail Entitlement Offer is the same as the Issue Price under the Institutional Entitlement Offer and the Placement.

1.4 Ranking of New Shares

New Shares will rank equally with existing Shares.

1.5 Reconciliation and fractional entitlements

In any entitlement offer, investors may believe that they own more or fewer existing Shares on the Record Date than they ultimately do. This could potentially result in the requirement for reconciliation to ensure all Eligible Retail Shareholders have the opportunity to receive their full Entitlement. If this is required, it is possible that Coventry may need to issue a small quantity of additional New Shares to ensure all Eligible Institutional Shareholders and Eligible Retail Shareholders have the opportunity to receive their full Entitlement. The price at which these Shares will be issued will be the same as the Issue Price. Coventry also reserves the right to reduce the number of New Shares allocated to Eligible Shareholders or persons claiming to be Eligible Shareholders, if their Entitlement claims prove to be overstated, or if they or their nominees fail to provide information requested to substantiate their Entitlement claims, or if they are indeed not Eligible Shareholders.

To the extent that the application of the offer ratio of 1 New Share for every 5 existing Shares held on the Record Date results in a fractional entitlement to New Shares for a particular Shareholder, that Shareholder's Entitlement shall be rounded up to the next higher whole number of New Shares.

1.6 Quotation and trading

Coventry will apply to ASX for the official quotation of the New Shares in accordance with ASX Listing Rule requirements. Subject to approval being granted, it is expected that normal trading of New Shares:

  • allotted under the Institutional Entitlement Offer will commence on Friday, 5 October 2018; and

  • allotted under the Retail Entitlement Offer (including any Additional New Shares) will commence on Monday, 22 October 2018.

1.7 Holding statements

Holding statements are expected to be despatched to Eligible Shareholders:

  • on Monday, 8 October 2018 in respect of New Shares allotted under the Institutional Entitlement Offer; and

  • on Tuesday, 23 October 2018 in respect of New Shares allotted under the Retail Entitlement Offer.

12

Doc ID 585099363/v7

It is the responsibility of each applicant to confirm their holding before trading in New Shares. Any applicant who sells New Shares before receiving confirmation of their holding in the form of their holding statement will do so at their own risk. Coventry and the Underwriter disclaim all liability whether in negligence or otherwise (and to the maximum extent permitted by law) to persons who trade New Shares before receiving their holding statements, whether on the basis of confirmation of the allocation provided by Coventry, the Registry or the Underwriter.

1.8 Withdrawal of the Entitlement Offer

Coventry reserves the right to withdraw the Entitlement Offer at any time, in which case Coventry will refund any Application Monies already received in accordance with the Corporations Act and will do so without interest.

13

Doc ID 585099363/v7

If you wish to take up your Entitlement in full or in part, or in full and apply for Additional New Shares in excess of your Entitlement, there are two different ways you can submit your Application and Application Monies.

2.2.1 Payment via BPAY ®

For payment by BPAY®, please follow the instructions set out on the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You can only make payment by BPAY® if you are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY® transactions.

Please visit https://cgl.com.au/ to download and print an electronic copy of the Retail Offer Booklet. You may only download an electronic copy of the Retail Offer Booklet if you are a resident of Australia and access the website from within Australia.

You may apply for New Shares online and pay your Application Monies by BPAY®. Applicants wishing to pay by BPAY® should complete the online Entitlement and Acceptance Form accompanying the electronic version of this Retail Offer Booklet which is available at https://cgl.com.au/ and follow the instructions on the online Entitlement and Acceptance Form (which includes the Biller Code and your unique Customer Reference Number ("CRN").

If you have multiple holdings and receive more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, when taking up your Entitlement in respect of one of those holdings, only use the CRN specific to that holding. If you do not use the correct CRN specific to that holding, your Application will not be recognised as valid and may be rejected.

Applicants should be aware that their own financial institution may implement earlier cut off times with regards to electronic payment, and should therefore take this into consideration when making payment of Application Monies.

To apply and pay via BPAY®, you should:

  • read this Retail Offer Booklet and the Entitlement and Acceptance Form in their entirety and seek appropriate professional advice if necessary; and

14

Doc ID 585099363/v7

  • make your payment in respect of the full Application Monies via BPAY® for the number of New Shares you wish to subscribe for (being the Issue Price of $1.15 per New Share multiplied by the number of New Shares (including your Entitlement and any Additional New Shares) you are applying for) so that it is received by no later than the Retail Closing Date, being 5.00pm (Melbourne time) on Friday, 12 October 2018.

If you choose to pay via BPAY® you are not required to submit the Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to make the statements on that form and representations outlined below in Section 2.4, including the Eligible Retail Shareholder declarations included on page 29 of this Retail Offer Booklet and referred to in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

If you take up all or part of your Entitlement (or all of your Entitlement and apply for Additional New Shares) and your payment of the Application Monies is received in cleared funds by the Retail Closing Date, being 5.00pm (Melbourne time) on Friday, 12 October 2018, New Shares (and Additional New Shares) are expected to be allotted to you on the Allotment Date being Friday, 19 October 2018. Your payment of the Application Monies will not be accepted after the Retail Closing Date, being 5.00pm (Melbourne time) on Friday, 12 October 2018, and no New Shares (or Additional New Shares) will be issued to you in respect of such late Application.

If the amount of Application Monies is insufficient to pay in full for the number of New Shares you applied for, you will be taken to have applied for such whole number of New Shares which is covered in full by your Application Monies. Alternatively, your application will be rejected.

The allocation of Additional New Shares will be at the discretion of the Board and the Underwriter and may be subject to scale back. The Company reserves the right to accept or reject any application for Additional New Shares at the discretion of the Board and the Underwriter.

If you apply for Additional New Shares in excess of your Entitlement and you are not allocated all or some of the Additional New Shares applied for, the relevant Application Monies will be refunded to you after the Allotment Date in accordance with the Corporations Act, without interest being payable.

Section 3 - Taxation

3.1 General

The section below provides a general summary of the Australian income tax, capital gains tax ( CGT ), goods and services tax ( GST ) and stamp duty implications of the Retail Entitlement Offer for certain Eligible Retail Shareholders.

The comments in this section deal only with the Australian taxation implications of the Retail Entitlement Offer if you:

  • are a resident for Australian income tax purposes; and

  • hold your Shares on capital account.

The comments do not apply to you if you:

  • are not a resident for Australian income tax purposes;

  • hold your Shares as revenue assets or trading stock (which will generally be the case if you are a bank, insurance company or carry on a business of share trading);

  • are subject to the 'TOFA provisions' in Division 230 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 in relation to the Shares; or

  • acquired the Shares in respect of which the Entitlement Offer is issued under any employee share scheme or where the New Shares are acquired pursuant to any employee share scheme.

The taxation implications of the Retail Entitlement Offer will vary depending upon your particular circumstances. Accordingly, you should seek and rely upon your own professional advice before concluding on the particular taxation treatment that will apply to you.

Coventry and its officers, employees, taxation or other advisers do not accept any liability or responsibility in respect of any statement concerning taxation consequences, or in respect of the taxation consequences.

This taxation summary is necessarily general in nature. It is not, nor should it be relied upon as, tax advice or financial product advice. It is strongly recommended that each Eligible Retail Shareholder seeks their own independent professional tax advice applicable to their particular circumstances.

3.2 Issue of Entitlements

The issue of the Entitlements should not, of itself, result in any amount being included in your assessable income.

3.3 Exercise of Entitlements

Eligible Retail Shareholders who exercise their Entitlements will acquire New Shares. No assessable income or capital gain should arise for you on the exercise (i.e. taking up) of your Entitlements.

The New Shares will constitute an asset for CGT purposes.

The total CGT cost base of the New Shares should include the Issue Price for the New Shares plus certain non-deductible incidental costs incurred in acquiring the New Shares.

18

Doc ID 585099363/v7

The New Shares will be taken to be acquired on the day that the Entitlement in respect of the New Share is exercised.

3.4 Acquiring Additional New Shares

No assessable income or capital gain should arise for you from acquiring Additional New Shares.

The total CGT cost base for the Additional New Shares acquired should be determined in the same manner as for New Shares acquired on exercise of your Entitlements.

The Additional New Shares will be taken to have been acquired for CGT purposes on the day the Additional New Shares are issued to you.

3.5 Distributions on New Shares and Additional New Shares

Future distributions made in respect of New Shares and Additional New Shares will be subject to the same income taxation treatment as distributions made on existing Shares held in the same circumstances.

3.6 Disposal of New Shares and Additional New Shares

On disposal of a New Share or an Additional New Share (referred to in this section as a Share), you will make a capital gain if the capital proceeds on disposal exceed the total CGT cost base of the Share. You will make a capital loss if the capital proceeds are less than the total reduced cost base of the Share.

The disposal of a Share will constitute a disposal for CGT purposes.

Individuals, complying superannuation entities or trustees that have held Shares for at least 12 months (not including the dates of acquisition and disposal of the Shares) should be entitled to discount the amount of any capital gain resulting from the disposal of the Shares (after the application of any current year or carry forward capital losses).

The CGT discount applicable is currently one-half for individuals and trustees and one-third for complying superannuation entities. The CGT discount is not available for companies that are not acting as trustee for another entity. Trustees should seek specific tax advice regarding the tax consequences arising to beneficiaries because of the CGT discount.

If a capital loss arises on disposal of the Shares, the capital loss can only be used to offset capital gains, i.e. the capital loss cannot be used to offset ordinary income. If the capital loss cannot be used in a particular income year, it can be carried forward to future income years and provided certain tests are satisfied, can offset future capital gains.

3.7 Entitlements not taken up

As described in Section 2.3 above, any Entitlement not taken up under the Retail Entitlement Offer will lapse and the Eligible Retail Shareholder will not receive any consideration for those Entitlements. In these circumstances, there should not be any tax implications for the Eligible Retail Shareholder.

3.8 Tax file number and Australian business number withholding

If a Shareholder has provided their Australian business number ( ABN ), tax file number ( TFN ) or claimed an exemption from quoting their TFN in respect of an existing Share, this will also apply in respect of any New Shares or Additional New Shares acquired by that Shareholder.

19

Doc ID 585099363/v7

If a Shareholder has not provided their ABN, TFN or claimed an exemption, income tax may be required to be deducted and withheld by Coventry from any distributions at the highest marginal tax rate plus the Medicare levy.

3.9 Other Australian taxes

No Australian GST or stamp duty will be payable by Eligible Retail Shareholders in respect of the issue or exercise of the Entitlements or the acquisition of New Shares or Additional New Shares.

Please carefully read the instructions on the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

Shareholders in foreign jurisdictions (being jurisdictions outside of Australia or New Zealand) should refer to Section 4.9.

4.2 Ineligible Retail Shareholders

The Company has determined, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.7.1(a) of the ASX Listing Rules and section 9A(3)(a) of the Corporations Act, that it would be unreasonable to make offers to shareholders in countries other than Australia or New Zealand in connection with the Retail Entitlement Offer, having regard to:

  • (a) the relatively small number of shareholders in the other jurisdictions where the Retail Entitlement Offer would be made;

  • (b) the number and value of shares for which such shareholders would otherwise have been entitled; and

  • (c) the costs of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements in each other jurisdiction where the Retail Entitlement Offer would be made.

An Eligible Retail Shareholder is a holder of existing Shares who:

  • (d) was a registered holder of existing Shares as at 7pm (Melbourne time) on the Record Date;

  • (e) has a registered address in Australia or New Zealand;

  • (f) is not in the United States and is not acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States (to the extent such person holds shares in the Company for the account or benefit of such person in the United States);

Doc ID 585099363/v7

  • (g) is not an Eligible Institutional Shareholder (as defined in the Retail Entitlement Offer Booklet lodged with ASX on 26 September 2018) (other than a nominee to the extent that the nominee also holds existing Shares on behalf of an Eligible Retail Shareholder); and

  • (h) is eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Retail Entitlement Offer.

Ineligible Retail Shareholders do not satisfy the criteria for an Eligible Retail Shareholder, and therefore the Company is unable to extend to Ineligible Retail Shareholders the opportunity to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer.

Determination of eligibility of investors for the purposes of the Retail Entitlement Offer is determined by the Company with reference to a number of matters. The Underwriter and their affiliates and related bodies corporate and each of their directors, officers, partners, employees, advisers and agents disclaim any liability in respect of any determination as to eligibility, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

The Company has appointed Bell Potter Securities Limited as the nominee (Nominee) to conduct a foreign sale facility on behalf of Ineligible Retail Shareholders (Foreign Sale Facility). Under the Foreign Sale Facility, the Company will issue the Nominee with rights to apply for New Shares which would otherwise have been available for subscription by Ineligible Retail Shareholders had they been eligible to participate in the Rights Issue. If there is a viable market in the rights and a premium over the expenses of their sale can be made, the Nominee will arrange the sale of the rights which would have been offered to the Ineligible Retail Shareholders. The Nominee will arrange for the proceeds of sale (if any), net of expenses and withholding taxes (if any), to be distributed to Ineligible Retail Shareholders in proportion to the rights that would have otherwise been made available to them in respect of their shareholding at the Record Date.

There is no guarantee that Ineligible Retail Shareholders will receive any proceeds as a result of the Foreign Sale Facility. The ability to sell rights under the Foreign Sale Facility and the price that may be obtained for them will be dependent on various factors, including market conditions. To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither the Company, nor the Nominee, nor their respective agents or affiliates, will be liable for any failure to sell rights under the Foreign Sale Facility at a particular price or in a particular time frame.

4.3 Continuous disclosure requirements

Under the Corporations Act, Coventry is considered a disclosing entity and is subject to ongoing reporting and disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, including the preparation of annual reports and half yearly reports.

Under the ASX Listing Rules, Coventry has an obligation (subject to certain exceptions) to notify the ASX immediately of any information of which it is or becomes aware which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of its Shares. Such information is available to the public from the ASX at www.asx.com.au.

Coventry is also required to lodge certain documents with ASIC. Such documents can be inspected and obtained from an ASIC office.

Nominees and custodians who hold Shares as nominees or custodians will have received, or will shortly receive, a letter from Coventry in respect of the Entitlement Offer.

4.12 Underwriting arrangements and fees

4.13 Control effect of the Entitlement Offer

The potential effect of the issue of the New Shares pursuant to the Entitlement Offer on the control of the Company and the consequences of that effect will depend on a number of factors, including the extent to which Eligible Shareholders take up New Shares under the Entitlement Offer and are described below.

  • If all Eligible Shareholders take up their entitlements under the Entitlement Offer, then the Entitlement Offer will have no significant effect on the control of the Company.

  • If 50% of Eligible Shareholders take up their entitlements under the Entitlement Offer, then new investors will receive 3,738,041 New Shares (being 7.41% of Shares on issue in the Company following the Placement and Entitlement Offer) and the interests of those Eligible Shareholders who do not take-up their entitlements under the Entitlement Offer will be diluted.

  • If 25% of Eligible Shareholders take up their entitlements under the Entitlement Offer, then new investors will receive 5,607,061 New Shares (being 11.11% of Shares on issue in the Company following the Placement and Entitlement Offer) and the interests of those Eligible Shareholders who do not take-up their entitlements under the Entitlement Offer will be diluted.

  • If no Eligible Shareholders take up their entitlements under the Entitlement Offer, then new investors will receive 7,476,081 New Shares (being 14.81% of the Shares on issue in the Company following the Placement and Entitlement Offer) and the interests of all Eligible Shareholders will be diluted.

For the purposes of the information provided above, 'new investors' potentially includes the Underwriter and certain sub-underwriters appointed in relation to the Placement and Entitlement Offer.

The Underwriter has entered into sub-underwriting commitments for the New Shares to be issued under the Entitlement Offer. Assuming those commitments are honoured with respect to the Retail Entitlement Offer, and full allocation of New Shares to be issued under the Institutional Entitlement Offer, the maximum percentage of New Shares which the Underwriter or subunderwriter could hold, assuming no other investor or shareholder take-up of the New Shares offered in the Entitlement Offer, would be 14.81% of the shares on issue in CYG following the Institutional Entitlement Offer.

If an Eligible Shareholder does not take-up its Entitlement under the Entitlement Offer, its percentage holding in Coventry will be diluted.

Ineligible Shareholders are not entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer and their percentage holding in Coventry will be diluted.

A. Risk factors

A. Risk factors

The risk factors summarised in this section may materially affect the financial performance of Coventry and the market price of its shares. To that extent, the shares in Coventry carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends or return on capital.

Potential investors should note that risks are associated with any investment in the stock market. Returns from investments in Coventry will depend on the conditions of the market as well as the performance of Coventry. There are a number of risk factors, both relating to the general business environment and specific to Coventry, which may adversely impact on the operating performance, financial position and prospects of Coventry. Potential investors should consider that an investment in Coventry is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for shares in Coventry. Nothing in this presentation is financial product advice and this document has been prepared without taking into account your investment objectives or personal circumstances.

The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which Coventry is exposed:

A: General risks

General market and share price risks

General economic factors such as interest rates, exchange rates, inflation, business and consumer confidence and general market factors may have an adverse impact on Coventry’s performance, prospects or value of its assets. The market price of Coventry shares will fluctuate due to various factors, many of which are non-specific to Coventry , including recommendations by brokers and analysts, Australian and international general economic conditions, inflation rates, interest rates, exchange rates, changes in government, fiscal and monetary and regulatory policies, changes to laws, global investment markets, global geo-political events and hostilities, investor perceptions and other factors that may affect Coventry’s financial performance and position. In the future, these factors may cause Coventry shares to trade at or below their issue price.

B: Risks relating to the Offer

Underwriting risk

Coventry has entered into an underwriting agreement under which the Underwriter has agreed to fully underwrite the Entitlement Offer, subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement between the parties. If certain conditions are not satisfied or certain events occur, the Underwriter may terminate the underwriting agreement. Termination of the underwriting agreement would have an adverse impact on the proceeds raised under the Entitlement Offer. If the underwriting agreement is terminated Coventry would need to find alternative funding for the acquisition of Torque, which could materially adversely affect Coventry's business, cash flow, financial condition and results of operations.

Risk of dilution

You should also note that if you do not take up all of your entitlement under the Entitlement Offer, then your percentage security holding in Coventry will be diluted by not participating to the full extent in the Entitlement Offer (in addition to any dilution as a result of the Placement).

30

A. Risk factors

C: Coventry risks

Loss of key personnel or skilled workers

Coventry’s ability to remain productive, profitable and competitive and to implement planned growth initiatives depends on the continued employment and performance of senior executives and other key members of management. Coventry’s performance also depends on its ability to attract and retain skilled workers with the relevant industry and technical experience.

If any one of these individuals resigns or becomes unable to continue in his or her present role and is not adequately replaced in a timely manner, business operations and the ability to implement Coventry’s strategies could be materially disrupted. The loss of a number of key personnel or the inability to attract additional personnel may have an adverse impact on Coventry's financial and operating performance.

There can be no assurance that Coventry will be able to attract and retain skilled and experienced employees and, should it lose any of its key management personnel or fail to attract qualified personnel, its business may be harmed and its operational and financial performance could be adversely affected.

Loss making and access to finance

Coventry reported a loss from continuing operations of $8.3m for the FY18 financial year. The ability to return the Group to profitability can be affected by all the risk factors stated in this document. Coventry’s continued ability to effectively implement its business plan over time may depend in part on its ability to raise additional funds for future growth opportunities. Depending on economic and business conditions, equity or debt funding may not be available to Coventry, on favourable terms or at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, Coventry may not be able to take advantage of opportunities or respond to competitive pressure.

Redcliffe property

Coventry has a long term lease on a property in Redcliffe with sub tenants. Failure to retain existing tenants or replace existing tenants may have a material adverse effect on future financial performance and position.

Competition risk

Increased competition in the areas in which Coventry operates could result in price reductions, under-utilisation of personnel, assets or infrastructure, reduced operating margins and/or loss of market share, which may have a material adverse effect on Coventry's future financial performance and position.

Operational risk

Coventry is subject to operational risks resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, systems, policies or policies, in addition to potential hazards normally encountered in the ordinary course of business. If these risks materialise, Coventry's operations could be disrupted which may have a material adverse effect on future financial performance andposition.

31

A. Risk factors

C: Coventry risks (continued)

Customer service

Coventry's ability to maintain relationships with major customers is integral to its financial performance. This in turn depends on its ability to offer competitive service standards and pricing. Poor performance in either area may lead to a loss of major customers which may have a material impact on Coventry's financial performance.

Liability for defective work and performance

Coventry's operations carry a risk of liability for losses arising from defective work, including in some instances indirect or consequential losses suffered by third parties. Coventry attempts to decrease its exposure to liability contractually and maintains what it considers to be adequate levels of professional indemnity insurance, however, this will not protect Coventry from all claims that could be made against it. It is not always possible to obtain insurance against all risks and Coventry may decide not to insure against certain risks as a result of high premiums or other reasons. The occurrence of an event that is not fully covered, or covered at all, by insurance could have a materially adverse effect on Coventry's financial position.

Litigation and disputes

Coventry may become involved in litigation or disputes, which could adversely affect financial performance and reputation.

Intellectual Property

There can be no assurances that the validity, ownership or authorised use of intellectual property (including technology, know-how, trademarks, designs and patents (both owned and licensed) relevant to Coventry's business (including those relating from the acquisition of Torque) will not be challenged, which could adversely affect Coventry's financial and operating performance.

Occupational health and safety

If there were to be a failure to comply with the applicable occupational health and safety legislative requirements across the jurisdictions in which Coventry operates, there is a risk that non-compliance may result in fines, penalties and/or compensation for damages as well as reputational damage.

Cyber risk

The failure of Coventry's information technology systems and / or security could result in financial loss, disruption or damage to the reputation of the business.

Negative publicity

Coventry is subject to the risk that negative publicity, whether true or not, may affect stakeholder perceptions of Coventry's past actions and future prospects. Being listed on the ASX means that the Coventry is subject to risks relating to market expectations for its business and financial and operating performance. If Coventry does not manage these expectations in an effective manner, it could give rise to loss of investor confidence in its business and management and may adversely impact the trading price of Coventry shares.

32

A. Risk factors

D: Acquisition risks

Completion risk

Coventry may terminate the Torque Business Acquisition Deed in certain circumstances, including in the circumstance where certain conditions precedent have not been satisfied. If such termination rights are exercised, completion of the acquisition may notoccur. Further, if completion of the acquisition does not occur, Coventry will need to consider alternative uses for the proceeds from the Offer, including applying them towards working capital, reviewing alternative investment opportunities, and/or considering ways to return the proceeds from the Offer toshareholders. Any failure to consummate the acquisition could materially and adversely affect Coventry and the price of its shares.

Torque performance risks

There is an inherent risk that the underlying assets of Torque do not ultimately produce the financial returns anticipated due to:

  • the potential disruption and diversion of management’s attention from day-to-day operations;

  • the inability to effectively integrate the operations, products, technologies;

  • the inability to maintain uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;

  • the loss of key personnel; and

the potential impairment of relationships with customers and suppliers, resulting in loss of contracts.

In addition, there is a risk that the Company may suffer loss or damage flowing from unforeseen events in relation to the underlying assets and liabilities of any potentially acquired business, which the Company may not be able to recover from its vendors.
