20 December 2024 CLARIFICATION OF RIGHTS ISSUE OFFER PRICE

DigitalX Limited ( ASX:DCC, OTCQB: DGGXF ) (“ DigitalX ”, “ the Company ”) refers to the Rights Issue Offer Document released on the ASX Market Announcements Platform on 19 December 2024 and wishes to highlight a typographical error in Section 3.1 which incorrectly states that the shares under the offer are being issued at $0.47 per share instead of $0.047 per share.

The Company confirms that the correct issue price under the offer is $0.047 per share and that this error has been corrected in the Rights Issue Offer Document that will be sent to shareholders, a copy of which is included with this announcement.

Authorised by the Chair of the Board of DigitalX Limited.

3.11 Effect of the Offer on control and voting power in the Company

As at the date of this Offer Document, the Company does not have any Shareholder who holds a voting power in the Company equal to or greater than 5%.

The potential effect that the issue of the Shares under the Offer will have on the control of the Company is as follows:

10

2916-38/3606814

  • (a) if all Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements under the Offer, the issue of Shares under the Offer will have no effect on the control of the Company and all Shareholders will hold the same percentage interest in the Company, subject only to changes resulting from ineligible Shareholders being unable to participate in the Offer;

  • (b) in the more likely event that there is a Shortfall, Eligible Shareholders who do not subscribe for their full Entitlement of Shares under the Offer and ineligible Shareholders unable to participate in the Offer will be diluted relative to those Shareholders who subscribe for some or all of their Entitlement as shown by the table in section 3.9; and

  • (c) in respect of any Shortfall, Eligible Shareholders will be entitled to top-up their shareholding, by subscribing for Additional Shares to be issued from the shortfall pool ( Shortfall Offer ). However, the Company will only issue such Shares pursuant to an application received where the Directors are satisfied, in their discretion, that the issue of the Shares will not increase the applicant’s voting power above 19.90%. Having regard to the number of Shares to be issued under the Offer, even if a substantial shortfall eventuated, a participant in the Shortfall Offer would not be in a position to exercise any substantive control in the Company.

3.12 Market Price of Shares

The Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and its Shares are enhanced disclosure securities quoted on ASX.

The highest, lowest and last market sale prices of the Shares on ASX during the three months immediately preceding the date of release of this Offer Document and the respective dates of those sales were:

($) Date
Highest 0.072 12 November 2024
Lowest 0.0335 4 October 2024
Last 0.055 18 December 2024

3.13 Opening and Closing Dates

The Offer opens on the Opening Date, being 31 December 2024, and closes on the Closing Date, being 5:00pm (WST) on 24 January 2025 (or such other dates as the Directors in their discretion shall determine subject to the ASX Listing Rules). The Company will accept Entitlement and Acceptance Forms until the Closing Date or such other date as the Directors in their absolute discretion shall determine, subject to the ASX Listing Rules.

3.14 Issue and dispatch

Shares issued pursuant to the Offer will be issued in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and the indicative timetable set out in Section 3.3 of this Offer Document. Shares issued pursuant to the Shortfall Offer will be issued on a progressive basis.

Pending the issue of the Shares or payment of refunds pursuant to this Offer Document, all Application monies will be held by the share registry in trust for the Applicants in a separate bank account as required by the Corporations Act. The

11

2916-38/3606814

Company, however, will be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on the bank account and each Applicant waives the right to claim interest by completing and returning the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

The expected dates for issue of New Shares offered by this Offer Document and dispatch of holding statements is expected to occur on the dates specified in the Timetable set out in Section 3.3 of this Offer Document.

It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine the allocation prior to trading in the New Shares. Applicants who sell New Shares before they receive their holding statements will do so at their own risk.

3.15

ASX listing

Application for official quotation by ASX of the New Shares offered pursuant to this Offer Document will be made.

The fact that ASX may grant official quotation to the New Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the New Shares now offered for subscription.

3.16 CHESS

The Company is a participant in Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System ( CHESS ), for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company. Because the sub-registers are electronic, ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation.

Electronic registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of New Shares allotted to them under this Offer Document. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.

Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.

14

2916-38/3606814

  • (b) if you do not pay for your Entitlement in full, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of Shares which is covered in full by your application monies.

Do not use the same CRN for more than one of your Shareholdings . This can result in your Application monies being applied to your Entitlement in respect of only one of your Shareholdings (with the result that any Application in respect of your remaining Shareholdings will not be valid).

5. RISK FACTORS

5.1 Introduction

The Shares offered under this Offer Document should be considered speculative because of the nature of the Company’s business.

There are numerous risk factors involved with the Company’s business. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are outside the control of the Company and cannot be mitigated. Accordingly, an investment in the Company carries no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital or price at which securities will trade.

The following is a summary of the more material matters to be considered. However, this summary is not exhaustive and potential investors should examine the contents of this Offer Document in its entirety and consult their professional advisors before deciding whether to apply for the New Shares.

5.2 Key investment risks

Potential investors should be aware that subscribing for Shares in the Company involves a number of risks. Prospective investors should read this Offer Document in its entirety before deciding whether to apply for Shares under this Offer Document.

These risks together with other general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities not specifically referred to, may affect the value of the Shares in the future. Accordingly, an investment in the Company should be considered highly speculative. Investors should consider consulting their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Offer Document.

(a) Price risk of digital assets

The Company and its subsidiaries hold digital assets as a balance sheet asset and manages digital assets on behalf of clients through the funds management business. Price volatility of digital assets may cause impact to the Company’s performance. Price volatility is inherent to the digital asset markets. The Company’s position has been as a longterm holder of Bitcoin but as the market has begun to mature the Company has started to diversify into other digital asset holdings such as Ethereum and Solana. The Company will, during periods of heightened volatility, review its core positions from an acquisition or divestment perspective.

In addition to this, the Company’s funds managers will review the holdings monthly as part of the investment committee process and limits exposure to any one asset to 40% in line with the investment memorandum.

(b) Safeguarding of digital assets

Due to the emerging nature of digital assets, there is a heightened risk around the security and management of access to digital assets. The Company and the funds both utilise a best- in-class custodian (Bitgo) to manage the security and management of digital assets with the objective to maximise the amount held in cold storage.

17

2916-38/3606814

The custodian also maintains its own insurance policy over digital asset balances which proportionally covers digital assets held in cold storage.

(c)

Blockchain technology

Blockchain technology is a new and nascent technology that continues to evolve from a technological perspective. The Company’s funds and product development business both utilise blockchain technology. The Company mitigates this risk through a number of different mechanisms such as, hiring staff experienced in digital assets and blockchain technology and supporting ongoing training and development, rigorous deployment processes for products and due diligence and testing on new blockchain technology service providers such as custodians, wallets, exchanges and smart contracting languages.

(d) Regulatory regime around digital assets

Where applicable, the Company maintains an Australian Financial Services Licence authorisations for dealing in digital assets and has done so since 2018. The Company continues to monitor ongoing changes in legislation for impacts on the business. Most recently, the Company responded to the Treasury Consultation paper on Crypto Asset Secondary Service Providers.

During the prior year, as part of the ongoing evolution and uplift in risk practices, the Company also implemented a fortnightly financial service compliance meeting, in addition to its quarterly review, and appointed a Chief Risk Officer.

(e)

Impact of climate

The Company’s current environmental impact is primarily through its physical office locations, travel and technology infrastructure and has limited exposure to physical assets such as plant, machinery and equipment. However, the environmental impact of digital assets continues to be a complex and evolving matter.

(f) Business continuity and cyber

As a technology business focussed on digital assets business continuity with respect to cyber and IT are an increasing risk in the current environment with the ongoing adoption of remote working and adoption of software as a service for key business applications.

The Company seeks to adopt appropriate cyber risk policies, utilise best available cyber security measures for a company of its nature and ensure that staff have appropriate training to avoid cyber security incidents.

18

2916-38/3606814

5.3 General Risks

(a) Additional requirements for capital

The funds raised under the Offer are considered sufficient to meet the current proposed objectives of the Company. Additional funding may be required in the event future costs exceed the Company’s estimates and 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 Company may incur.

The Company may seek to raise further funds through equity or debt financing, joint ventures or other means. Failure to obtain sufficient financing for the Company’s activities and future projects may result in delay and indefinite postponement of its research and development programmes. 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 Company and might involve substantial dilution to Shareholders.

(b) General economic conditions

Economic conditions, both domestic and global, may affect the performance of the Company. Factors such as fluctuations in currencies, commodity prices, inflation, interest rates, supply and demand and industrial disruption may have an impact on operating costs and share market prices. The Company's future possible revenues and Share price can be affected by these factors, all of which are beyond the control of the Company or its Directors.

(c) Equity market conditions

Securities listed on the stock market can experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that are often unrelated to the operating performances of such companies. The market price of Shares may fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general.

General factors that may affect the market price of Shares include economic conditions in both Australia and internationally (particularly Australian, United States of America and Chinese economic conditions), investor sentiment, local and international share market conditions, changes in interest rates and the rate of inflation, variations in commodity prices, the global security situation and the possibility of terrorist disturbances, changes to government regulation, policy or legislation, changes which may occur to the taxation of companies as a result of changes in Australian and foreign taxation laws, changes to the system of dividend imputation in Australia, and changes in exchange rates.

(d) Change in government policy and legislation

Any material adverse changes in relevant government policies or legislation of Australia may affect the viability and profitability of the Company, and consequent returns to investors. The activities of the Company are subject to various federal, state and local laws governing prospecting, development, production, taxes, labour standards and occupational health and safety, and other matters.

19

2916-38/3606814

(e) Reliance on key personnel

The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company 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 Company if one or more of these employees cease their employment.

(f) Economic conditions and other global and national issues

General economic conditions, laws relating to taxation, new legislation, trade barriers, movements in interest and inflation rates, currency exchange controls and rates, national and international political circumstances (including outbreaks in international hostilities, wars, terrorist acts, sabotage, subversive activities, security operations, labour unrest, civil disorder, and states of emergency), natural disasters (including fires, earthquakes and floods), and quarantine restrictions, epidemics and pandemics, may have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial performance, including the Company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.

General economic conditions may also affect the value of the Company and its market valuation regardless of its actual performance.

5.4 Investment Speculative

The above list of risk factors should not be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Shares offered under this Offer Document. Therefore, the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Offer Document carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Shares.

Investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Offer Document.
