Dear Investor
Barrack St Investments Limited has been created to satisfy a growing appetite for access to boutique investment managers with an expertise in small and mid-cap companies. The Company’s objective is to achieve moderate to high portfolio returns over the long-term through investment in small and mid-cap companies quoted on ASX with a history of profitability and a superior growth profile.
While the portfolio will be constantly monitored and reviewed by the Board and its advisers, it will be the sole responsibility of ECP Asset Management to manage the portfolio. ECP Asset Management was established by Manny Pohl (Chief Investment Officer), who has a long history and successful track record in investment management. Manny was appointed as the founding managing director of Hyperion Asset Management Limited in 1996 and was instrumental in growing this business to over $3 billion funds under management and leading it to numerous investment awards. In 2012 he exited that business to form a boutique investment management business which is the investment manager of another listed investment company, Flagship Investments Limited (ASX: FSI). Manny and his team also continue to manage a number of individually managed accounts on behalf of high net worth clients applying the same investment philosophy as that proposed for Barrack St Investments.
I have known Manny Pohl in a professional capacity for more than ten years and respect his investment skill, business acumen and professional integrity. In my experience, Manny has always acted in the interests of his shareholders and clients which I believe is an important trait in an investment manager alongside their ability to achieve superior returns for investors.
We believe that the investment philosophy described in this Prospectus and to be implemented by the Manager will appeal to a wide range of investors. Each of the Directors of the Company will be investing in this IPO and we are pleased to invite you to invest with us, although we recommend you read this Prospectus in detail to assist you in making this decision.
I look forward to welcoming you as an Investor.
Yours sincerely

1 Investment summary
1.1 Introduction and overview of BST
| Topic | Summary |
|---|---|
| The Company | Barrack St Investments Limited (BST) is a newly formed Australian Company which has not yet commenced operations. On successful completion of the Offer, BST will be a listed investment company seeking to achieve moderate to high portfolio returns over the long- term through investment in small and mid-cap companies quoted on ASX. Through this Offer, BST is seeking to raise a minimum of $16 million and up to $50 million (prior to the exercise of any Options). |
| The Manager | BST’s investment Portfolio will be managed by ECP Asset Management Pty Ltd (Manager). |
| Investment Objective | The investment objective is to provide Shareholders with moderate to high portfolio appreciation over the long-term through active management of BST’s portfolio investments. The Performance Fee benchmark has been set at a hurdle of 8% per annum which represents the current cash rate plus a risk premium. Full details of the Performance Fee and its calculation are set out in section 8.13.1. |
| Investments | BST will seek to achieve its objective by investing in: Australian companies listed on the ASX but not those included in the ASX50 Index; and mid market private companies that intend to list within 6 months. The timing of individual investments by the Company will depend on prevailing market conditions. However, it is anticipated that the funds raised under this Prospectus will be substantially invested within eight weeks of the Closing Date of the Offer. |
| Investment Risks | The most significant risk for Shareholders is investment underperformance by the Manager. It should be understood that the past performance of portfolios managed by the Chief Investment Officer of the Manager is not necessarily a guide to the future performance of the Company. The Company’s Shares may also trade at prices below the value of its investments. The loss of a key investment officer employed by the Manager is a risk that could lead to investment underperformance. Refer to section 6for further information. |
| Dividends | The Board intends to pay an interim and a final dividend to Shareholders on an annual basis. In determining the level of any dividends the Directors will consider the level of income received by the Company, its anticipated expenses and its investment intentions. The ultimate payment of a dividend will be at the discretion of the Board, though the Board policy is that all dividends paid to Shareholders will be franked to 100% or to the maximum extent possible. |
| Gearing | The Directors do not intend to use borrowings but retain the right to borrow to enhance potential Shareholder returns. The level of borrowings is intended to be limited to 20% of the total assets of BST at the time of borrowing. |
| Management Fee | The Manager will receive a management fee representing 1.0% per annum (plus GST) calculated and paid monthly based on the net |

Refer to section 8.13 for a summary of the Management Agreement. |
|
| Performance Fee | The Manager is also entitled to be paid an annual performance fee by the Company which is equal to 20% (excluding GST) of any outperformance over 8% per annum subject to a high water mark. The performance fee is calculated and accrued monthly on a pre-tax basis and any positive performance fee amounts are payable annually in arrears. Full details of the Performance Fee and its calculation are set out in section 8.13.1. |
| Net Asset Value (NAV) at Listing Date |
Minimum Subscription: 96 cents per Share Maximum Subscription: 97 cents per Share |
| Options | Subscribers during the Initial Offer Period will receive one Option for nil consideration for every Share purchased. The exercise period for the Options is any time in the two years following the date of issue of the Options. |
| Reporting to Shareholders | In accordance with BST’s statutory reporting requirements under the Corporations Act, the Company will make available to Shareholders the financial reports which are submitted to ASIC and the ASX. The Manager will inform the ASX of the net asset backing per Share on a monthly basis and may be accessed via the Manager’s website. |

4.3 Investment Objective
The investment objective is to provide investors with moderate to high portfolio returns over the long-term through active management of a portfolio of ASX listed investments.
The Performance Fee benchmark has been set at a hurdle of 8% per annum which represents the current cash rate plus a risk premium.
4.4 Investment Strategy
The Manager’s investment strategy is built on the belief that it is an allocator of capital and the economics of a business drives long-term investment returns. The Manager invests in what it believes are high quality businesses that have the ability to generate predictable, above average economic returns and refers to these companies as quality franchises ( Quality Franchises ).
The manager believes that investing in these Quality Franchises provides investors with the best opportunities to generate above average returns over time. The investment process is designed to construct portfolios of assets from only Quality Franchises, excluding those companies which do not have a durable competitive advantage or are unable to generate above average economic returns. Adherence to this philosophy supports the ability to consistently price and source the correct investments and most importantly, achieve the investment objective of generating
-
has a clear business model with a growth profile and defensible market position;
-
is managed by a team who exhibit certain desirable characteristics; and
-
has strong financials.
The focus of this investment philosophy is to invest in companies that exhibit the following criteria:
-
high returns on equity;
-
are able to grow revenues above Gross Domestic Product; and
-
do not hold large amounts of debt on their balance sheet (low capital intensity).
It is important to note that the Manager will not acquire every business that meets the above criteria. A disconnect exists between the price of an investment and the value of that investment which requires the Manager to be disciplined in the price it is willing to pay for earnings. The combination of purchase discipline, and the appropriate investment due diligence, is a crucial part of the investment process.
Through decades in the funds management industry, the Chief Investment Officer has developed a set of investment criteria that prospective portfolio companies should meet. This approach:
-
provides tangible and appropriate investment guidelines;
-
mitigates against key person risk;
-
is the basis for the Chief Investment Officer’s successful track record; and
| This is a replacement prospectus that replaces the original prospectus dated 23 June 2014 22
- differentiates the Manager from competitors.

The historical investment performance of the Chief Investment Officer of the Manager is not a forecast of future performance of the Company and past performance is not a guide to future performance. The investment performance is included to demonstrate a 15-year track record of the Chief Investment Officer’s investment strategy.
The historical investment performance of the Chief Investment Officer for Flagship has included investments in large cap listed companies. For BSI, the Chief Investment Officer intends to exclude large cap companies and focus on small and mid-cap company investments.
| This is a replacement prospectus that replaces the original prospectus dated 23 June 2014 23
Over the past five years to March 2014, Flagship has achieved a portfolio CAGR of 19.1% vs the XAO at 8.9% while over the past two years to March 2014, Flagship has achieved a portfolio CAGR of 27.4% vs the XAO at 10.6%.
The chart below splits the two year performance for Flagship investments into the performance attributable to large cap, medium cap and small cap investments.
As shown, Flagship’s outperformance has been achieved in most part by its investments in small and mid-cap companies. This underlies the decision by the Chief Investment Officer to establish BST which will focus its investments into small and mid-cap companies.
==> picture [468 x 306] intentionally omitted <==
The portfolio returns attribution was calculated over two years against the XAO and is calculated using the Brinson methodology. As can be seen, the main contributors to active return for the portfolio returns over the two years to March/2014 was the stock selection effect with small cap investments and mid cap investments contributing the most return.

5.4 Proposed accounting policies
A summary of significant accounting policies, which have been adopted in the preparation of the Pro-forma statements of Financial Position, set out on section 5.2, and will be adopted and applied in preparation of the Financial Statements of BST for the year ended 30 June 2015 and subsequent years, is set out below:
Basis of preparation of accounts
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Board and the Corporations Act 2001 .
Australian Accounting Standards include Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards. Compliance with AIFRS will ensure that the financial report of BST complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.
The Statements are prepared from the records of the Company on an accrual basis. They are based on historical costs and do not take into account changing money values.
Investments
All investments are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given and including acquisition charges associated with the investment. After initial recognition, investments which are classified as available for sale are measured at fair value.
BST does not hold any securities for short term trading purposes. Therefore, the investment portfolio is with gains or losses being recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is derecognised or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity recognised in profit or loss. The
fair value of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. For investments in unlisted unit trusts, fair value is determined by reference to redemption value. Derecognition of investments on disposal of an investment the gain or loss on the net proceeds received less the original purchase cost of the investment is recorded through the statement of comprehensive income.
Impairment of investments
If there is objective evidence that an investment is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principal repayment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in the income statement, is transferred from equity to the income statement.
Changes in market value will be recorded directly in the Asset Revaluation Reserve, after deducting a provision for potential capital gains tax. When shares, securities and other investments are disposed of, the balance in the Asset Revaluation Reserve relating to the disposed share, security or other investment is transferred to the Capital Profits Reserve.
Investments are valued as follows:
-
Securities and rights to them listed on a financial market – valued at the market value as quoted on relevant exchange.
-
Securities which are not listed on a financial market – valued at directors’ valuation.
-
Derivative financial instruments – all derivatives are brought to account at market value and the resulting profit or loss is recognised in the Statement of Financial Performance.
| This is a replacement prospectus that replaces the original prospectus dated 23 June 2014
27
Revenue recognition
-
Trading income – profits and losses realised from the sale of investments and unrealised gains and losses on investments held at market value are included in the Statement of Financial Performance in the year they are incurred.
-
Dividend income – dividends and distributions are brought to account on the date that the shares or units are traded ‘ex-dividend’.
-
Interest income – interest income is recognised as it accrues, taking into account the effective yield on the financial asset.
-
Other income – other revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and when the revenue can be reliably measured.
-
Realised foreign exchange gains or losses .
5.5 Capital Structure Policy and Capital Management
BST may borrow from time to time to enhance potential Shareholder returns. The level of borrowings will be limited to 20% of the total assets of BST at the time of borrowing. The Company may pledge any scrip it holds against any borrowings it may obtain within this 20% limit.
5.6 Dividend Policy
The Board intends to pay an interim and a final dividend to Shareholders on an annual basis. In determining the level of any dividends the Directors will consider the level of income received by the Company, its anticipated expenses and its investment intentions. The ultimate payment of a dividend will be at the discretion of the Board, though the Board policy is that all dividends paid to Shareholders will be franked to 100% or to the maximum extent possible.

6 Risks
6.1 Introduction
This section identifies the risks that the Board considers the major risks associated with an investment in BST.
The BST business is subject to risk factors, both specific to its business activities, and risks of a general nature. Individually, or in combination, these might affect the future operating performance of BST and the value of an investment in the Company. There can be no guarantee that BST will achieve its stated objectives. An investment in the Company should be considered in light of relevant risks, both general and specific. Each of the risks set out below could, if it eventuates, have a material adverse impact on BST’s operating performance and profits, and the market price of the Shares and Options.
Before deciding to invest in the Company, potential investors should:
-
read the entire prospectus;
-
consider their tolerance for risk and whether this investment and the risks outlined in this section are understood by them;
-
review these factors in light of their personal circumstances; and
-
seek professional advice from their accountant, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser before deciding whether to invest.
Specific Risks
6.2
These are risks specific to the Company and the Offer.
Manager risk
The success and profitability of the Company will significantly depend upon the ability of the Manager to make investments that increase in value over time. The retention of the Manager including the Chief Investment Officer (assuming the Manager is creating value) as manager of the Portfolio is a risk.
If the Management Agreement is terminated, the Company will need to identify and engage a suitable replacement either externally or
employ appropriately qualified investment professionals.
The capacity of the Company and the Manager to terminate the Management Agreement is set out in section 8.13.1.
Liquidity Risk
This is the risk the Portfolio’s underlying investments may not be easily sold when the Manager decides it is an appropriate time for them to be sold. This lack of liquidity can result in a loss if the delay in the sale of the investment results in the decline of the investment.
Liquidity risk also applies to the ability of a Shareholder or Option holder to sell their securities on the ASX in a timely manner. The ability of a Shareholder (or Option holder) to sell Securities on ASX will be a function of the turnover or liquidity of the Securities at the time of sale. Turnover is impacted by a range of factors including the size of the company and the number of securities on issue and the depth of the pool of buyers and sellers.
If the Company is able to achieve only the Minimum Subscription, it is likely that there will be a low level of liquidity in trading of the Securities. As a result, Shareholders (and Option holders) may not be able to sell their Securities at the time and in the volumes or at a price they desire.
Unlisted securities risk
The Manager has the ability to invest part of the Portfolio in unlisted securities, provided there is an intention to list the securities within six months. In general there is less government regulation and supervision of transactions in the unlisted securities markets than of transactions entered into on organised exchanges. Further many of the protections (such as continuous disclosure, regulatory supervision and clearing house settlement arrangements) may not be available in connection with unlisted securities.
Therefore, any investment by the Company in unlisted securities will be subject to the risk that its direct counterparty will not perform its obligations under the transactions and that the Portfolio will sustain losses.
| This is a replacement prospectus that replaces the original prospectus dated 23 June 2014 29
There is likely to be little or no liquidity in unlisted securities. Such illiquidity can delay or remove the ability of the Manager to sell its investments or expose the investment to being a minority shareholder in the investment.
The valuation of unlisted securities is difficult to calculate.
Investment risk
There is a risk that the Securities and/or the Company’s investments will fall in value over the short or long term. Individual security prices may fluctuate and under perform other asset classes over time. Shareholders are exposed to this risk through both their holding in the Securities and through the Company’s investments.
Performance incentive
The performance fee payable to the Manager may create an incentive for the Manager to make investments on behalf of the Company that are riskier and more speculative than would be the case in the absence of a fee payable to the Manager based solely on the performance of the Company, which may add to the risk and volatility of the Portfolio’s underlying investments.
As a result no guarantee can be given in respect of the future earnings of the Company or the earnings and capital appreciation of the Company’s investments.
No operating or performance history of the Company
The Company is a new entity with no financial, operating or performance history and no track record. The information in this Prospectus about the investment objectives of the Company are not forecasts, projections or the result of any simulation of future performance. There is a risk that the Company’s investment objectives will not be achieved.
6.3 General Risks
Changes in global or domestic economic conditions
This is the risk that returns may be adversely affected by instability in local or global market conditions. The following economic conditions may impact the performance of the Company and the Portfolio:
-
national economic growth;
-
industry change;
-
interest rates;
Concentration risk
- inflation;
There is potential for volatility due to the lack of diversity within the Portfolio. The lower the number of investments, the higher the concentration and, in turn, the higher potential volatility.
Price: NTA risk
There is a risk of loss associated with the Share price not trading at the NTA backing. The Shares may trade at a premium or discount to its NTA backing and the level of any premium or discount will likely fluctuate over time.
Market Risk
Investment returns are influenced by market factors such as changes in economic conditions, the legislative and political environment, investor sentiment, natural disasters and acts of terrorism.
-
exchange rates; and
-
changes to government economic policy.
These conditions cannot generally be predicted by the Company or the Manager.
Change in political and regulatory environment
The following international or domestic political conditions (as well as others that are not listed here) may adversely affect the Company, or its Portfolio:
-
legislative changes;
-
regulatory changes;
-
taxation changes; and
-
foreign policy changes (including the status of trade agreements).

7 Options
7.1 Rights Attaching to the Options
For every one Share allotted to an investor one Option for nil consideration will also be allotted. Detailed provisions relating to the rights attaching to Shares are set out in the Constitution, the Corporations Act and section 8.9. A copy of the Constitution can be inspected during office hours at the registered office of BST.
Entitlement
7.2
BST will issue Options at the same time as the issue of Shares under the Prospectus to each allottee of Shares in the amount of one Option for every Share allotted to that allotee.
Subject to these terms, each Option entitles the Option holder to subscribe for and be allotted and credited for fully paid one Share at an exercise price of $1.00.
BST will issue Shares on the exercise of an Option. These will be listed on the ASX and governed in accordance with the Listing Rules of the ASX.
Shares issued on the exercise of the Option will rank pari passu with all existing ordinary Shares in the capital of BST from the date of issue.
7.3 Register
Following granting of the Options, BST will establish and maintain a register of Options in accordance with the Corporations Act (Register).
The Register will be altered accordingly on receipt of details of any change of name and address of an Option holder notified in writing to the Registry and accompanied in the case of a change of name by any evidence which may reasonably be required.
Notice of any trust expressed or implied or constructive will be entered in the Register.
BST may delegate any of its powers and obligations in respect of the Register.
7.4 Terms and Conditions of Options
The terms and conditions of an Option are as follows:
Conversion rate
Each Option entitles the Option holder to subscribe for one Share in BST. No amount is payable on issue of the Options.
Exercise price
The exercise price of an Option is $1.00.
Exercise of Options
7.5
An Option is exercisable by the Option holder by lodging with the Registry a completed Notice of Exercise of Option, together with the exercise price for each Option to be exercised, and the relevant Option holding statement. Remittance must be made payable to BST and cheques should be crossed ‘not negotiable’.
An Option may be exercised at any time on any date after granting and prior to their final exercise date which will be 2 years from the date of their issue (Option Expiry Date). An Option not exercised on or before 5.00pm on the Option Expiry Date will lapse.

| This is a replacement prospectus that replaces the original prospectus dated 23 June 2014
31
7.7 Participating rights
For determining entitlements to the issue, an Option holder may only participate in new issues of securities to holders of Shares in the Company if the Option has been exercised and Shares allotted in respect of the Option before the record date. The Company must give at least six Business Days’ notice to Option holders of any new issue before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue in accordance with the Listing Rules.
If between the date of issue and the date of exercise of an Option the Company makes one or more rights issues (being a pro rata issue of Shares in the capital of the Company that is not a bonus issue) in accordance with the Listing Rules, the exercise price of Options on issue will be reduced in respect of each rights issue according to the following formula:
NE = OE – E[P–(S + D)] (N + 1)
where:
NE is the new exercise price of the Option;
OE is the old exercise price of the Option;
E is the number of underlying Shares into which one Option is exercisable;
P is the average closing sale price per Share (weighted by reference to volume) during the five trading days ending on the day before the ex-rights date or ex-entitlements date (excluding special crossings and overnight sales); S is the subscription price for a Share under the rights issue;
D is the dividend due but not yet paid on each Share at the relevant time; and
N is the number of Shares that must be held to entitle holders to receive a new Share in the rights issue.
7.8 Reconstructions and alteration of capital
Any adjustment to the number of outstanding Options and the exercise price under a reorganisation of the Company’s share capital must be made in accordance with the Listing Rules at the time of the reorganisation.
7.9 Rights to Financial Statements and to Attend Meetings
Option holders will be sent all reports and financial statements required to be laid before members in general meeting and all notices of general meetings of members and will have the right to attend, but not to vote, at those meetings.
7.10 Restriction on Issue and Exercise
Despite the terms of the Option, no Option may be offered, issued or exercised if the offer issue or exercise would be prohibited by the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules.
7.11 Notices
Notices may be given by BST to Option holders as may be prescribed under the Constitution for giving notices to members and the relevant provisions of the Constitution will apply with all necessary modifications to notices to an Option holder.
7.12 Holding Statement
Holding statements, sent out by the Registry to Option holders, will be accompanied by a summary of the terms of the Options, together with a Notice of Exercise of Options.
If there is a bonus issue to the holders of Shares in the capital of the Company, the number of Shares over which the Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the holder of the Option would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date for the bonus issue.

8 Additional information
8.1 Incorporation
BST was incorporated in Queensland on 23 January 2014.
8.2 Balance Date
The financial statements of BST will be made up to 30 June annually.
8.3 Taxation
BST is not licensed under the tax agent services regime and cannot provide tax advice to investors. The following taxation discussion is based on the law in place at the date of this Prospectus and is intended to be a general guide only. It is not intended to be definitive advice, nor relied upon as such and (unless otherwise noted), is only relevant for Australian resident investors who hold their Shares and Options on capital account for investment purposes. It does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects relevant to the Offer or to a holder of Shares or Options.
As the taxation outcomes will depend on individual investors’ personal circumstances, all Applicants (and in particular, corporations and trustees) should satisfy themselves of possible tax consequences of the Offer by consulting their own professional tax advisers.
Company Tax Status
8.4
BST will be taxed as a public company.
It is envisaged that BST’s income will be derived from dividends received from its investments and capital gains on the sale of investment assets from time to time. In the event that any income derived by BST is taxed in a foreign jurisdiction, BST may be entitled to a credit for any foreign tax paid.
BST should generally be entitled to claim income tax deductions for expenses incurred in gaining investment income.
BST also intends to comply with the listed investment company provisions for income tax purposes. The impact of this for shareholders of BST is discussed further below (at section 8.8).
8.5 Issue of Shares and Options
The issue of Shares and Options will result in each Applicant acquiring two capital gains tax assets:
-
a Share at a cost price of $1.00 under the General Offer and 98.5 cents under the Broker Firm Offer; and
-
a Option for nil consideration (excluding incidental costs).
Any fees incurred for brokers services (including the Service Fee) and other acquisition costs paid by investors to subscribe for Shares, will be included in the tax cost base of the Shares for capital gains tax purposes and will decrease (or increase) any subsequent gain (or loss) realised for capital gains tax purposes on any disposal of those Shares at a later date.
8.6 Disposal of Shares or Options
Shareholders who dispose of their Shares or Options at a price in excess of their cost base may be subject to capital gains tax on the disposal.
Certain shareholders (i.e. Australian resident individuals, complying superannuation funds, trusts and partnerships) who hold their Shares or Options held for more than 12 months will be eligible for a discount on any capital gain made on the sale of their Shares and Options. Shareholders that are Australian resident individuals, the trustees of trusts or partnerships will be entitled to reduce their capital gain by 50%. Shareholders that are the trustees of complying superannuation funds will be eligible for a 33 1/3% discount.
Any remaining capital gain (after applying the discount, if applicable, and capital losses) should be included in the Shareholder’s assessable income for the year of disposal.
| This is a replacement prospectus that replaces the original prospectus dated 23 June 2014 33
Australian resident Shareholders who dispose of their Shares or Options at a price which is less than their cost base may incur a capital loss. A capital loss may not be offset against ordinary income (but may be carried forward for use in future years).
Gains realised by shareholders who do not hold their Shares and Options on capital account (such as share traders) may be taxed as ordinary income rather than capital gains.
8.7 Exercise of Options
Any capital gain or capital loss made on exercise of an Option should be disregarded (i.e. no tax liability should arise).
The cost base of Shares acquired by the Option holders on exercise of their Options will have a cost base equal to the consideration paid to exercise the Options, plus any incidental costs.
8.8 Taxation of Dividends
Australian resident shareholders
Dividends received by Shareholders should be included in the assessable income of Shareholders. Generally, Shareholders will be taxed on the dividends at their relevant marginal rate. If the Shareholder is a company, the Shareholder will be taxed at the prevailing company tax rate (currently 30%).
A franked dividend is one which is paid out of profits in respect of which BST has paid income tax.
Generally, to the extent that the dividends paid by BST are franked, the Shareholder should include both the dividend and the franking credit in their assessable income. Shareholders will generally be entitled to a tax offset equal to the amount of the franking credits on the dividend although the availability of this rebate may be restricted in certain circumstances).
Effectively this means that, where eligible, Shareholders will receive a tax credit for the corporate tax paid in respect of the dividends). Certain
Shareholders (including individuals and complying superannuation funds) may be entitled to a refund of ‘excess franking credits’ where their tax offset in respect of the franked dividends exceeds their tax liability.
The amount of any imputation credit attached to dividends paid by BST will be shown separately on the dividend statement provided by BST to each Shareholder.
In the event that BST declares an unfranked dividend, the entire amount of the dividend should be included in the Shareholder’s assessable income. No tax offset will be available.
Non-resident shareholders
Fully franked dividends paid by BST to non-residents of Australia for tax purposes should not be subject to any further tax in Australia. To the extent that dividends paid by BST are unfranked (or partly franked), BST may be required to withhold tax from the dividend paid. Tax implications on dividends paid by Listed Investment Company
BST’s compliance with the listed investment company provisions for income tax purposes means that eligible Shareholders (i.e. Australian resident individuals, complying superannuation funds, trusts and partnerships) should be entitled to benefits similar to the CGT discount concession where the Company pays a dividend which is reasonably attributable to certain capital gains (i.e. ‘LIC capital gains’) which have been reflected in the taxable income of the Company for the year in which the capital gain is made.
Broadly, an ‘LIC capital gain’ is a capital gain that is made by a listed investment company that:
- arises in respect of certain permitted investments (including shares in listed and unlisted companies, derivatives and other securities such as managed investment schemes and unlisted securities); and
| This is a replacement prospectus that replaces the original prospectus dated 23 June 2014
34
- would have given rise to the CGT discount concession had it been derived by an entity that was not the listed investment company.
Where the Company makes a LIC capital gain and pays a dividend which is reasonably attributable to that LIC capital gain, the Company will advise Shareholders of the proportion (if any) of the dividend which is attributable to the LIC capital gain.
Australian resident Shareholders, will then be entitled to a deduction for the part of the dividend which is attributable to the LIC capital gain. The deduction will be equal to the relevant discount percentage applicable to the Shareholder (50% in respect of individuals, trusts or partnerships or 33 1/3% for trustees of complying superannuation funds).
8.9 Rights attaching to the Shares
Subscribers under this Prospectus will receive Securities consisting of a Share and an Option. The terms of those Options are set out in section 7 of this Prospectus.
The detailed provisions relating to the rights attaching to Shares under the Constitution and the Corporations Act are summarised below:
-
the right to vote at a general meeting of Shareholders (whether present in person or by any representative, proxy or attorney) on a show of hands (one vote per Shareholder) and on a poll (one vote per Share on which there is no money due and payable) subject to the rights and restrictions on voting which may attach to or be imposed on Shares (at present there are none);
-
the right to receive notice of and to attend general meetings; and
-
the right to receive dividends. The Directors may fix the amount of the dividend and the method or time for payment of the dividend.
Subject to any special rights for the time being attached to any class of
Share, if, on a winding-up of BST, there remains a surplus, the Shareholders will be entitled to that surplus.
Subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, the Securities are fully transferable.
The rights attaching to Shares may be varied with the approval of Shareholders in general meeting by special resolution.
8.10 Reduction in Share Capital
Subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, BST may reduce its share capital if the reduction is fair and reasonable to the Shareholders, and does not materially prejudice BST’s ability to pay its creditors and is approved by its Shareholders.
The Constitution does not preclude BST from buying back its own Shares or impose restrictions on the exercise of BST’s power to buy back its own Shares under the Corporations Act.
The Directors may allot, issue or otherwise dispose of Shares subject to any restrictions on the allotment of Shares imposed by the Constitution, the Listing Rules or the Corporations Act.
8.11 Alteration of Constitution
The Constitution may only be altered by special resolution at a general meeting. BST must give at least 28 days written notice of any general meeting.
8.12 Indemnity
BST, to the extent permitted by law, indemnifies every person who is, or has been a Director or secretary of BST against a liability incurred by that person in their capacity as such a Director, secretary or officer of BST, to another person (including but not limited to, liability for costs and expenses incurred in defending proceedings in which judgement is given in favour of the person or in which the person is acquitted) provided that the liability does not arise out of
| This is a replacement prospectus that replaces the original prospectus dated 23 June 2014
35
conduct involving a lack of good faith or prohibited under the Corporations Act.
8.13 Material Contracts
The Directors consider that the material contracts described below and elsewhere in this Prospectus are the contracts which an investor would reasonably regard as material and which an investor and their professional advisors would reasonably expect to find described in this Prospectus for the purpose of making an informed assessment of the Offer.
This section only contains a summary of the material contracts and their substantive terms. To obtain a complete understanding of the contracts it is necessary to read them in full. Full copies of material contracts will be available for inspection without charge during normal office hours at BST at Suite 305, Level 3, Barrack House, 16-20 Barrack St, Sydney, NSW, for a period of 12 months after the lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC.
8.13.1 Management Agreement
Overview
BST has appointed the Manager to manage the Company, together with all its investments for a term of 5 years. Subject to the parties agreeing to the management fee for a further term, the Agreement will continue for a further period of five years.
The management agreement includes the capacity for the initial five-year term to be extended subject to the ASX granting an appropriate waiver.
Services to be provided by the Manager
Subject to the terms of the agreement, the Manager is empowered and required to do all things it reasonably considers necessary or desirable for the administration, management and conduct of BST.
The Manager shall administer BST in accordance with the instructions set out in the agreement.
Termination
The Company may terminate the Management Agreement by written notice to the Manager in the event of any material and substantial breach of the Agreement by the Manager, provided that before termination the Manager has failed to remedy the breach within 14 days of receiving notice from the Company.
The Manager may terminate the Agreement on three months’ notice in the event of any material and substantial breach of the Agreement by the Company, provided that before termination the Company has failed to remedy the breach within 14 days of receiving notice from the Manager.
After the initial term, the Company at general meeting may resolve by ordinary resolution to terminate the Agreement at any time.
The Agreement automatically terminates if either party ceases to carry on business, goes into liquidation, passes a resolution to voluntarily wind up or a receiver is appointed.
If the Management Agreement is terminated, then in certain circumstances the Manager is also entitled to a termination payment equal to 5% of the net tangible assets of BST at the date of termination, reduced by 1/60 for each calendar month elapsed between the commencement date of the relevant management term and the termination date.
Management Fee
The Manager will be paid an Management Fee of 1% per annum (plus GST) calculated and paid monthly based on the net tangible assets of BST.
| This is a replacement prospectus that replaces the original prospectus dated 23 June 2014 36
Performance Fee
At the end of each financial year, the Manager will be entitled to receive a performance fee ( Performance Fee ) from BST. The terms of the Performance Fee are outlined below:
The Performance Fee is calculated and accrued monthly using the following formula:
P = 20% x (A – B) x Portfolio Net Asset Value at the end of the last day of the relevant month
where:
P is the Performance Fee for the relevant month;
A is the Investment Return of the Portfolio for the relevant month; and
B is the Benchmark Return for the relevant month.
The Performance Fee for each month in a Financial Year will be aggregated (including any negative amounts carried forward) and paid annually in arrears if the aggregate Performance Fee for that Financial Year is a positive amount provided that:
-
if the aggregate Performance Fee for a Financial Year is a negative amount, no Performance Fee shall be payable to the Manager in respect of that Financial Year, and the negative amount shall be carried forward to the following Financial Year; and
-
any negative aggregate Performance Fee amounts from previous Financial Years that are not recouped in a Financial Year shall be carried forward to the following Financial Year.
‘Investment Return’ means the percentage by which the Portfolio Net Asset Value at the end of the last day of the relevant month exceeds or is less than the Portfolio Net Asset Value at the end of the last day of the month immediately prior to the relevant month, excluding any additions to or reductions in equity in the Company
during the relevant month, dividend reinvestments, new issues, the exercise of share options, share buybacks, payment of dividends and the payment of tax. ‘Benchmark Return’ means, in respect of the relevant month is 1/12 of 8%.

Best Execution Policy
There are multiple exchange markets operating in Australia. As a market participant, we must take reasonable steps when handling and executing an order in equity market products to obtain the best outcome for our clients. We have a Best Execution Policy that outlines how we will execute and deal with orders to ensure that we adhere to our best execution obligation. This policy is publicly available on our website.
What information should you provide to receive personalised advice?
You need to provide us with details of your personal objectives, risk profile, your current financial situation and any other relevant information, so that we can offer you the most appropriate advice possible.
You have the right not to provide this information. However, if you choose not to provide any or all of the information requested, the advice you receive from us will be limited accordingly and may not be appropriate to your needs, objectives and financial situation.
In these circumstances you should consider the appropriateness of our advice in the light of your own objectives, financial situation or needs prior to making any investment decision. If the advice relates to the acquisition of an unlisted Financial Product, you should consider the relevant Product Disclosure Statement before making a decision.
Statement of Advice
Whenever we provide you with any personal financial advice, you may be entitled to receive a Statement of Advice (SOA) from us. The SOA will tell you:
-
The advice
-
The basis on which the advice has been provided
-
Our fees and commissions
-
The basis of the remuneration received by your adviser
-
Any associations we have with Financial Product Issuers or other parties which may have influenced the advice we give you.
Further Advice
However, whenever we provide you with further advice, which takes into account your relevant personal circumstances, a SOA generally will not be provided. In these circumstances, we will maintain brief details of the basis of advice and you may request, for a period of seven (7) years from when the advice is provided, a copy of the record of advice.
and a SOA, detailing these personal circumstances and any agreed investment strategy and advice, will be provided to new retail clients. Thereafter, a new SOA will only be provided if you advise that your circumstances have changed materially.
Product Disclosure Statement
If we recommend to you a particular Financial Product (other than securities such as listed shares), we will provide you with information about the particular Financial Product in a Product Disclosure Statement to help you make an informed decision about the Financial Product.
The Morgans Network
All Morgans advisers are Authorised Representatives of Morgans under our AFSL. Morgans has a network of offices around Australia which are operated in one of two ways. Each office is either:
-
An ‘Owned Office’ where the staff and Authorised Representatives are all employees of Morgans Holdings Pty Ltd. Morgans Financial Limited is the operating company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Morgans Holdings Pty Ltd.
-
A ‘Managed Office’ where a service entity has entered into a Management Agreement with Morgans to manage the office of Morgans in a geographical location. The service entity employs all staff including Authorised Representatives for that office.
What will Morgans be paid for providing financial services and how are any commissions, fees or other benefits calculated?
Generally the payment we receive will be based on the amount you pay. It may vary from one Financial Product Issuer to another. Details of the payment we receive are contained in the Product Disclosure Statements for most Financial Product Issuers available from your adviser.
We will advise you about any commissions, fees and any other benefits, where possible, in actual dollar amounts prior to the transaction. This information will be provided verbally and/or, where a SOA is issued, in the written SOA or confirmation.
When personal advice is given, if the remuneration (including commission) or other benefits are not calculable at that time, the manner in which the remuneration (including commission) or other benefits are to be calculated will be disclosed at the time the personal advice is given or as soon as practicable after that time.
There are a number of ways we may be remunerated for our services depending on the type of advice you receive
A record of your ‘relevant personal circumstances’ will be maintained
Financial Services Guide v5.0 02/14 2
A guide to our relationship with you and others
Payments you make to us
-
Brokerage is payable by you when we buy or sell securities, such as shares, warrants and options, on an authorised market. The amount of brokerage you pay will be determined in consultation with your adviser. A minimum charge may also apply to transactions. You will also have to pay GST on brokerage.
-
We may charge you a fee, depending on the time we spend developing your plan, or depending on the value of funds you invest. This fee will be determined in consultation with your adviser but would normally be based on an hourly rate.
-
We may charge you a management fee annually or in instalments, based on the value of your portfolio. This fee will normally be based on the amount under management.
-
We may charge you administrative or miscellaneous fees covering (not fully inclusive) off market transfers, cancellations & rebooking, nominee fees, international custody, SRN enquiries, fail fees, late settlement or early settlement, bond custody and settlement etc.
Payments and other benefits we may receive from Financial Product Issuers (including GST)
-
We may receive a payment called commission which is paid to us by the Financial Product Issuer(s) (e.g. fund manager, CMA provider, or life insurance company). This can be paid in the following manner:
-
We may receive a one off payment from the Financial Product Issuer at the time you invest or contract. These generally are calculated as a percentage of the amount you have invested, typically between 0% and 5.5%, and are deducted from the amount invested. Life insurance company first year commissions (upfront) range between 0% and 121%.
-
We may receive ongoing payments, called trailing commissions, from a Financial Product Issuer during the time you hold an investment product. On investment products these trails typically range between 0% and 1.1%.
-
Renewal commissions on life insurance products range between 0% and 33%.
-
We do not charge clients any brokerage in connection with subscriptions for shares in IPOs. We may, however, receive a fee from the issuer for handling the application as disclosed in the relevant prospectus and/or allocation letter.
-
In connection with on-market warrant purchases from warrant issuers, we may receive incentive fee payments from those warrant issuers as disclosed in the relevant Issuer Offering Circulars. As a guide these fees may range between 1.1% and 2.2% of the on-market transaction value.
-
Morgans does not provide its own margin lending facilities. Where clients borrow through margin lending arrangements facilitated by our business connections, we may receive a trailing commission of up to 0.275%, and potentially an ‘override commission’ of up to 15 basis points, of the outstanding balance of such loans. As members of the financial services industry, staff members of Morgans are entitled to receive a discount on personal margin loans they may hold from such suppliers. These discounts (depending on the issuer) may vary between 50 and 100 basis points and are not related to any client business.
-
On cash deposit products we will receive a commission which is distributed to the service entity and the adviser as per the following example:
- If we receive a commission of $100, the service entity may receive $85 from Morgans. Out of the amount the service entity receives, an adviser remunerated by commission will receive a share which is typically around 35%, or $35.
-
We may receive fees, normally determined as a percentage of revenue, from external parties where we have referred you to them for expert advice (eg insurance or mortgage agent/ broker).
-
We may receive payments or benefits from Financial Product Issuers to assist in training of advisers or marketing of their products.
-
We may be paid volume bonuses and other incentives directly from Financial Product Issuers, although the amount or percentage will vary from Issuer to Issuer.
-
We may earn interest, at prevailing bank deposit rates, on the aggregate balance of any funds retained within our trust account.
-
-
Example – If you invested $10,000 in an unlisted investment product and we charged you an initial commission of 1.65% and received an ongoing commission of 0.55% from the Financial Product issuer, then
-
Morgans would receive $165 as an initial commission; and
-
Morgans would receive $55 per annum as an ongoing commission for the period you continue to own the product.

Option brokerage and charges
When you trade an option, the value of the trade is generally lower than if you were to trade the same number of the underlying shares. Because of this, options are generally a cost efficient way to trade your view of a stock or an index. The costs involved in trading an option are:
Brokerage
Brokerage is payable by you when Morgans buy or sell exchange traded options on your behalf on a sliding scale subject to a minimum of $75:
Premium Value Brokerage

The brokerage charged by Morgans for LEPO’s is 0.5% of the Premium Value subject to a minimum of $75.
A different rate of brokerage may be negotiated with your adviser. Consideration will be given to a negotiated rate and could for instance, be dependent on the volume and size of option transactions that occur on your account. All brokerage charges are shown on your Trade Confirmation/Contract Note.
AC charges a transaction fee of $0.143 per share option contract, including GST. If you are exercised or are assigned a share option, AC charges an exercise fee of $0.55 per contract and in the case of index options, AC charges $0.50 per contract, including GST, for both the transaction fee and the exercise fee. Please note that these charges are subject to change at any time by the AC.
Fixed Interest Products
Our remuneration depends on the duration and value of the investment and is usually without charge to the client.
For fixed term and short term money market investments arranged on behalf of clients, Morgans may receive a commission payment from the deposit taker of up to 0.44% which does not reduce the interest received by the client or the principal investment. In addition, some money market providers pay Morgans an ‘override commission’ of up to 15 basis points which may be volume related and may be partly distributed to the management entity employing the Authorised Representative.

Commission paid in the first year will vary between 0% and 121% of the first year’s premium depending on the type of product recommended. Upon renewal of your insurance in subsequent years we receive commission between 0% and 33% of the yearly premium.
If you have any queries regarding remuneration, fees or charges, you may request from your adviser full details of the calculation of a particular commission, fee or other benefit for providing a specific financial service.
How are our service entities, advisers and referral sources paid?
Service Entities
For our Managed Offices, the service entities are paid monthly in accordance with the Management Agreement between Morgans and the service entity. The amount that the service entity is paid depends on the various products, volume levels, agreed commission distribution, and fixed costs associated with the business written by
advisers at the relevant managed office. For example, on a brokerage charge to the client of $100, the service entity may receive around $85 from Morgans. Out of the amount the service entity receives, the service entity will then pay its fixed costs and remunerate its employees in accordance with their employment contracts.
If your adviser is employed by a service entity, this manner of calculation will be disclosed at the time that personal advice is given to you or as soon as practicable afterwards.
Advisers
Advisers are remunerated by their employer by way of salary and/ or a percentage share of commissions earned by Morgans from business written by the adviser (ranging from 33 1/3% to 55% depending on the products and volume levels) and/or a share of any profits of the service entity or Morgans Holdings Pty Ltd where the adviser is a shareholder or unit holder of such entity. Advisers may also earn bonus payments based on the individual and the company’s performance.
Referral Services
If a third person such as a financial planner or an accountant has referred you to us, we may pay to that person a part of any fees or commissions we receive from you. This will be disclosed to you at the time of transacting business.
What information do you hold on my file and can I access it?
We maintain a record of your personal and other information including details of your objectives, financial situation and needs. We also maintain records of any recommendations made to you and details of specific transactions.
We are committed to implementing and promoting a Privacy Policy, which will ensure the privacy and security of your personal information. A copy of our Privacy Statement and Privacy Policy are available from your adviser and on our website.
If you wish to examine your file please ask us. We will make arrangements for you to do so.
Managed Discretionary Accounts (‘MDA’) Only
For select clients we may offer the ability to access our MDA service. You must first enter into an MDA Agreement (“the MDA Agreement”) with us before we can provide those services to you. Before entering into the MDA Agreement it is essential that you consider the significance of the risks associated with investing through the MDA service.
