1. Details of the Offers
1.1 Summary of the Cleansing Offer
The Company is offering, pursuant to this Prospectus, 100 Shares at an issue price of $0.12 each to raise $12 (before costs) ( Cleansing Offer ).
The Cleansing Offer will only be extended to specific unrelated parties on invitation of the Directors. A Cleansing Offer Application Form will only be provided by the Company to these parties, together with a copy of this Prospectus.
Shares issued under the Cleansing Offer will be issued as fully paid ordinary shares and will rank equally in all respect with the existing Shares on issue. Refer to Section 4.1 for a summary of the rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares under the Cleansing Offer.
1.2 Summary of the Broker Options Offer
The Company is also offering, pursuant to this Prospectus, up to 10,000,000 unquoted Options, which are exercisable for $0.20 each on or before the date that is two years from the date of issue ( Broker Options ), to unrelated parties who assisted with the Placement (or their nominees) ( Broker Options Offer ) (see Section 1.3 for details of the Placement). The Broker Options will be issued for nil consideration. The Broker Options Offer will only be extended to specific unrelated parties, selected by the Directors in consultation with the Lead Manager to the Placement.
The Broker Options offered under this Prospectus will form a new class of unquoted securities of the Company. Further details of the rights and liabilities attaching to the Broker Options are in Section 4.2.
1.3 Previous issue of Shares
On 26 July 2017, the Company announced that it had received firm commitments to undertake a capital raising of $1,500,000 (before costs) ( Placement ) by way of the issue of 12,500,000 Shares at a price of $0.12 per Share ( Placement Shares ).
Completion of the issue of the Placement Shares occurred on Tuesday, 8 August 2017. Official quotation of the Placement Shares is expected to take place on Thursday, 10 August 2017.
The Placement Shares were issued without disclosure under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act to unrelated sophisticated and professional investors. Funds raised from the Placement will primarily be used by the Company to gain access to further non-dilutive grant funding, towards commercialisation of the Company’s technology and for general working capital.
1.4
Purpose of the Prospectus
Generally, section 707(3) of the Corporations Act requires that a prospectus is issued in order for a person to whom securities were issued without disclosure under Part 6D of the Corporations Act to on-sell those securities within 12 months of the date of their issue.
Section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act provides an exemption from this general requirement where:
1
-
(a) the relevant securities are in a class of securities of the company that are already quoted on ASX;
-
(b) a prospectus is lodged with ASIC either:
-
(i) on or after the day on which the relevant securities were issued but before the day on which the sale offer is made; or
-
(ii) before the day on which the relevant securities are issued and offers of securities that have been made under the prospectus are still open for acceptance on the day on which the relevant securities were issued; and
-
(c) the prospectus is for an offer of securities issued by the company that are in the same class of securities as the relevant securities.
The primary purpose of this Prospectus is to comply with section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to remove any trading restrictions that may have attached to the Placement Shares, so that the holders of the Placement Shares, if they choose to, may sell the Placement Shares within the next twelve months without the issue of a prospectus.
This Prospectus has also been issued to facilitate secondary trading of the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Broker Options to be issued under the Broker Options Offer. Issuing the Broker Options under this Prospectus will enable persons who are issued the Broker Options to on-sell the Shares issued on exercise of the Broker Options pursuant to ASIC Corporations (Sale Offers That Do Not Need Disclosure) Instrument 2016/80.
Accordingly, the purpose of this Prospectus is to:
-
(a) make the Cleansing Offer and Broker Options Offer; and
-
(b) ensure that the on-sale of the Placement Shares, Broker Options or Shares issued on conversion of the Broker Options do not breach section 707(3) of the Corporations Act.
The Securities issued under the Cleansing Offer and Broker Options Offer will be issued under the Company's existing placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
$12 will be raised under the Cleansing Offer (before costs). The total estimated expenses of the Offers of $11,400 will be paid by the Company from its cash reserves.
1.5 Closing Date
The Closing Date for the Offers is Wednesday, 9 August 2017. The Company reserves the right, subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, to extend the Closing Date without prior notice. If the Closing Date is varied, subsequent dates may also be varied accordingly.
1.6 Minimum subscription
There is no minimum subscription for the Cleansing Offer.
1.7 Cleansing Offer Application Forms
The Cleansing Offer is being extended to investors who are invited by the Company to subscribe for Shares and is not open to the general public. The Company may determine
2
in its discretion whether to accept any or all Applications.
Applications must be made using the Cleansing Offer Application Form attached to this Prospectus. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Directors will have discretion over which Applications to accept.

Acceptance of a completed Cleansing Offer Application Form by the Company creates a legally binding contract between the Applicant and the Company for the number of Shares accepted by the Company. The Cleansing Offer Application Form does not need to be signed to be a binding acceptance of the Shares under the Cleansing Offer.
If the Cleansing Offer Application Form is not completed correctly it may still be treated as valid. The Directors' decision as to whether to treat the acceptance as valid and how to construe, amend or complete the Cleansing Offer Application Form is final.
1.8

2. Risk factors
The Securities offered under this Prospectus should be considered speculative because of the nature of the business activities of the Company. Potential investors should consider whether the Securities offered are a suitable investment having regard to their own personal investment objectives and financial circumstances and the risk factors set out below. This list is not exhaustive and potential investors should read this Prospectus in its entirety and if in any doubt consult their professional adviser before deciding whether to participate in the Offers.
The principal risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
2.1 Company's Current Operations Risks
(a) Development and commercialisation of the technology
The Company is in the business of development and commercialisation of Graphene Quantum Dots ( GQDs ). The success of the Company will depend upon the Company's ability to develop and commercialise the GQD technology. A failure to successfully develop and commercialise the GQD technology, including the production of GQDs in commercial quantities or to otherwise meet demand, could lead to a loss of opportunities and adversely impact on the Company’s operating results and financial position.
The Company continues to focus its GQD commercialisation activities in areas that are considered new markets for GQD applications. There is a risk that GQDs produced by the Company will not be accepted by market participants in these fields (or other fields) (such as anti-counterfeiting/brand protection, displays, optical brighteners or bio-imaging). Failure to create a market in these fields will have an adverse effect on the Company’s potential profitability.
As disclosed in the Company’s last prospectus lodged with ASIC and ASX on 24 August 2016, the Company is seeking to develop GQD technology with organisations that provide chemical production industry services. If the Company is successful in developing the GQD technology, there may be further additional risks associated with how the technology fits within industry standards (including legal and regulatory standards), and issues faced with production which may affect yields.
The global marketplace for most products is ever changing due to new technologies, new products, changes in preferences, changes in regulation and other factors influencing market acceptance or market rejection. This market volatility and risk exists despite the best endeavours of market research, promotion, and sales and licensing campaigns. There is a risk that if the GQD technology is not accepted by the market or GQDs are not utilised in the Company's proposed markets or continuing to be utilised in the existing markets that currently use GQDs, the Company will not be able to commercialise its products which could adversely impact the Company’s operations.
(b) Competition and new technologies
The industry in which the Company is involved is subject to increasing domestic and global competition which is fast-paced and fast-changing. While the Company undertakes all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company will have no influence or control over the
7
activities or actions of its competitors, whose activities or actions may positively or negatively affect the operating and financial performance of the Company’s projects and business. For instance, new technologies could result in the Company's technology not being differentiated to other similar offerings.
The size and financial strength of some of the Company’s competitors may make it difficult for it to maintain a competitive position in the technology market. In particular, the Company's ability to acquire additional technology interests could be adversely affected if it is unable to respond effectively and/or in a timely manner to the strategies and actions of competitors and potential competitors or the entry of new competitors into the market. This may in turn impede the financial condition and rate of growth of the Company.
The key competition risk is in achieving appreciable market share and differentiation from its key competitors.
(c)
Licensed intellectual property
The Company has licensed intellectual property for a fixed period of time and contingent on meeting specified milestones (as disclosed in the Company’s August 2016 prospectus). There is no guarantee that existing license agreements will not be terminated and as a result, other competitors may gain access to the intellectual property used by the Company in developing the GQD technology or any know-how and/or information in relation to graphene production and applications. Breach of any licence agreements by the Company, or infringement of the licensed intellectual property by third parties, may have an adverse impact on the Company's ability to develop its technology.
(d) Staff Risk
There is a risk that knowledge will be lost in the event that development staff who have knowledge of the technology and business resign or retire. This involves the risk that those staff will have information in respect of the Company’s intellectual property which has a commercial value to the Company as well as an opportunity cost for replacement of those staff and subsequent training.
This risk is mitigated as the Company has historically had low levels of staff turnover in the development teams. In addition, all staff contracts contain express provisions with respect to ownership of intellectual property and restraints of trade to limit any potential loss suffered by the Company to the maximum extent possible. Furthermore the Company has taken measures to mitigate this risk by expanding its research staff so that technological intellectual property is not converged into one person but is disbursed among several people within the Company.
(e) Patent application risk
The intellectual property licensed to the Company consist of pending patent applications (for further details see the Company’s August 2016 prospectus). There is no guarantee that these patent applications will be granted or that the Company will receive enforceable patent rights.
There is a risk that the Company will not be entitled to practice the inventions claimed in the patents and that the working of its patented invention may be
8
prevented by another patent or patent application which has an earlier priority date to the patent applications licensed to the Company.
Even if the Company succeeds in obtaining patent protection for its products, its patents could be partially or wholly invalidated following challenges by third parties. The grant of a patent does not guarantee validity of that patent since it may be revoked on the grounds of invalidity at any time during its life. If none of the claims of a granted patent are valid, the patent is unenforceable.
(f) Protection of intellectual property rights
If the Company fails to protect its intellectual property rights adequately, competitors may gain access to its technology which may harm its business.
Securing rights to intellectual property, and in particular patents, is an integral part of securing potential product value from the development of information technology. Competition in retaining and sustaining protection of intellectual property and the complex nature of intellectual property can lead to expensive and lengthy patents disputes for which there can be no guaranteed outcome.
Legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights are uncertain. Effective patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available to the Company in every country in which the technology may eventually be sold. Accordingly, despite its efforts, the Company may not be able to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating the intellectual property.
Market conditions depending, the Company may be required to incur significant expenses in monitoring and protecting future intellectual property rights. It may initiate or otherwise be involved in litigation against third parties for infringement, or to establish the validity, of its rights. Any litigation, whether or not it is successful, could result in significant expense to the Company and cause a distraction to management.
As the Company licenses its intellectual from third parties, there is an additional risk that these third parties will fail to keep the patents licensed to the Company valid, resulting in competitors being entitled to apply for patents in the same area.
In addition, unauthorised use of the “Dotz” brand in counterfeit products or services may not only result in potential revenue loss, but also have an adverse impact on its brand value and perceptions of its product qualities.
(g) Currency Risk
The Company expects to derive a majority of its revenue from the United States, in US dollars. The Company will also be required to pay fees in the currency for the State of Israel (shekel). Accordingly, changes in the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Australian dollar or the Israel shekel and the Australian dollar would be expected to have a direct effect on the performance of the Company.
2.2 General risks relating to the Company
(a) Additional Requirements for Capital
9
The capital requirements of the Company depend on numerous factors. Depending on the ability of the Company to generate income from its operations, the Company may require further financing in the future. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations.
(b) Reliance on Key Management
The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its senior management and directors. There can be no assurance that there will be no detrimental impact on the performance of the Company or its growth potential if one or more of these employees cease their employment and suitable replacements are not identified and engaged in a timely manner.
(c)
Trading Price of Shares
The Company’s operating results, economic and financial prospects and other factors will affect the trading price of the Shares. In addition, the price of Shares is subject to varied and often unpredictable influences on the market for equities, including, but not limited to general economic conditions including the performance of the Australian dollar on world markets, inflation rates, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, variations in the general market for listed stocks in general, changes to government policy, legislation or regulation, industrial disputes, general operational and business risks and hedging or arbitrage trading activity that may develop involving the Shares.
In particular, the share prices for many companies have been and may in the future be highly volatile, which in many cases may reflect a diverse range of non-company specific influences such as global hostilities and tensions relating to certain unstable regions of the world, acts of terrorism and the general state of the global economy. No assurances can be made that the Company’s market performance will not be adversely affected by any such market fluctuations or factors.
(d) Litigation Risks
The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including intellectual property claims, contractual disputes, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, the Company may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Company’s operations, financial performance and financial position. As at the date of this Prospectus the Company is not involved in any litigation or disputes.
(e)
Economic Risks
General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.
Further, share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
- (i) general economic outlook;
10
-
(ii) interest rates and inflation rates;
-
(iii) currency fluctuations;
-
(iv) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
-
(v) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
-
(vi) terrorism or other hostilities.
(f) Force Majeure
The Company, now or in the future, may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company including labour unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, extreme weather conditions, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions.
(g) Acquisitions
As part of its business strategy, the Company may make acquisitions of, or significant investments in, companies, products, technologies and/or products that are complementary to the Company’s business. Any such future transactions are accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making acquisitions of companies, products and technologies, such as integrating cultures and systems of operation, relocation of operations, short term strain on working capital requirements, achieving the sales and margins anticipated and retaining key staff and customer and supplier relationships.
2.3 Investment Speculative
The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by prospective 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 Securities offered under this Prospectus.
Therefore, the Shares carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Shares.
Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for the Securities.

4. Additional information
4.1 Rights and liabilities attaching to Shares
A summary of the rights attaching to Shares in the Company is below. This summary is qualified by the full terms of the Constitution (a full copy of the Constitution is available from the Company on request free of charge) and does not purport to be exhaustive or to constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. These rights and liabilities can involve complex questions of law arising from an interaction of the Constitution with statutory and common law requirements. For a Shareholder to obtain a definitive assessment of the rights and liabilities which attach to Shares in any specific circumstances, the Shareholder should seek legal advice.
(a) General Meetings
Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.
Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution.
(b)
Voting Rights
Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares, at general meetings of Shareholders or classes of Shareholders:
-
(i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;
-
(ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and
-
(iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder will, in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for the Share, but in respect of partly paid Shares will have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such Shares registered in the Shareholder’s name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).
(c) Dividend Rights
Subject to the rights of any preference Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the Shareholders entitled to the dividend which will be payable on all Shares according to the proportion that the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Shares.
The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders any interim dividends as they may determine. No dividend will carry interest as against the Company.
14
Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company may, by resolution of the Directors, implement a dividend reinvestment plan on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit, under which participants may elect in respect of all or part of their Shares to receive a dividend or to forego a dividend from the Company and receive some other form of distribution or entitlement (including securities) from the Company or another body corporate or a trust.
(d)
Winding-up
If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, divide among the shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.
The liquidator may vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any Shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.
(e) Shareholder Liability
As the Shares under the Prospectus are fully paid shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.
(f)
Transfer of Shares
Generally, Shares are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules.
(g)
Variation of Rights
Pursuant to section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to Shares.
If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of Shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of threequarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.
(h) Alteration of Constitution
The Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. In addition, at least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.
15
4.2 Rights and liabilities attaching to Broker Options
The Broker Options offered under this Prospectus have the following terms and conditions:
-
(a) Each Broker Option entitles the holder to acquire one Share in the Company.
-
(b) The Broker Options may be exercised at any time on or before 5.00pm (WST) on the date that is two years from the date of issue ( Expiry Date ). Each Broker Option may be exercised by forwarding to the Company at its principal office the exercise notice, duly completed, together with payment of the sum of $0.20 per Broker Option exercised. The Broker Options will lapse at 5.00pm (WST) on the Expiry Date.
-
(c) The Broker Options may be transferred by an instrument (duly stamped where necessary) in the form commonly used for transfer of Options at any time until 5.00pm (WST) on the Expiry Date. This right is subject to any restrictions on the transfer of a Broker Option that may be imposed by ASX.
-
(d) Broker Optionholders can only participate in new issues of securities provided they have first exercised their Broker Options in which case the Broker Optionholders shall be afforded the period of at least four (4) business days prior to the record date (to determine entitlements to the issue) to exercise the Broker Options.
-
(e) Shares issued on the exercise of Broker Options will be issued not more than fourteen (14) days after receipt of a properly executed exercise notice and application moneys. Shares allotted pursuant to the exercise of a Broker Option will rank equally with the then issued Shares of the Company in all respects. Pursuant to the exercise of a Broker Option, the Company will apply to ASX for Quotation of the Shares issued as a result of the exercise, in accordance with the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.
-
(f) In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, sub-division, reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company, all rights of the Broker Optionholder will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applying to the reconstruction of capital at the time of the reconstruction.
-
(g) If there is a bonus issue to shareholders, the number of Shares over which the Broker Option is exercisable may be increased by the number of Shares which the holder of the Broker Option would have received if the Broker Option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.
-
(h) In the event that a pro rata issue (except a bonus issue) is made to the holders of the underlying securities in the Company, the exercise price of the Broker Options will not be reduced.
4.3 Company is a disclosing entity
