Letter from the Chairman

12 January 2021

Dear RedHill Shareholder,

RedH����� B�a�d �f D��ec���� ��a�������� �ec���e�d� ��a� ��a�e���de�� REJECT UCW�� unsolicited, opportunistic and highly conditional takeover offer and TAKE NO ACTION

You will have recently received from UCW an unsolicited, highly conditional, off-market, all-scrip offer to acquire your RedHill Shares. UCW is not offering any cash for your RedHill Shares, but instead 4.5 UCW Shares for every 1 of your RedHill Shares ( Offer ).

Thi� d�c�me�� i� ��� Ta�ge��� S�a�eme��, �hich �e�� ��� �he ��a�im��� �ec�mme�da�i�� �f ���� Di�ec���� �� REJECT UCW�� ��������i��ic a�d highly conditional Offer and the reasons for making that recommendation.

Im����a��l�, �ha�eh�lde�� �h� h�ld �� c�����l a�����ima�el� 11.2% �f RedHill Sha�e�, i�cl�di�g RedHill�� Directors and management, have already informed the Board that they intend to REJECT the Offer. This means that the minimum acceptance condition cannot be satisfied.

Y��� D��ec���� be��e�e ��a� ��e�e a�e e�g�� �e� �ea���� ��� ��� �����d �e�ec� UCW�� ������c��ed, opportunistic and highly conditional Offer:

  1. The Offer is opportunistically timed in an attempt to take advantage of relative weaknesses in RedHill�� �ha�e ��ice a�d ea��i�g� d�e �� COVID-19;

  2. UCW i� ��������i��icall� �eeki�g �� gai� c�����l ��e� RedHill�� �ig�ifica�� ca�h bala�ce �� �emed� its own relatively weak cash position;

  3. As a standalone entity, RedHill has significant operating leverage and capabilities to enable it to quickly recover and grow as international borders open;

  4. The ��de�l�i�g �al�e �f UCW�� �c�i�, �hich �e��e�e��� 100% �f �he Offe� Consideration, is unclear and uncertain, and UCW has refused to adequately disclose the risks of owning shares in UCW;

  5. UCW has a poor track record, poor governance record and higher risk profile relative to RedHill;

  6. The Offer is highly conditional and the 90% minimum acceptance condition is not capable of being satisfied;

  7. Synergies suggested by UCW are not appropriately disclosed and are potentially overstated, and, in any case, they are unlikely to be achieved as UCW cannot acquire 100% of RedHill; and

  8. If you accept the Offer, you risk missing out on a superior offer from another party if one emerges.

Section 2.2 �e�� ��� i� m��e de�ail each �f �he �ea���� f�� ���� Di�ec����� ��a�im��� �ec�mme�da�i�� �� REJECT UCW�� ��������i��ic Offe�. Y�� �h��ld �ead �he�e �ea���� ca�ef�ll�.

T� REJECT UCW�� ������������c a�d ��g��� c��d�����a� Offe�, ������ IGNORE all documentation sent to you by UCW and TAKE NO ACTION.

Your Directors consider that you will be better off retaining your RedHill Shares rather than accepting into the opportunistic and highly conditional UCW Offer, which carries potential risks and would dilute your ownership �f RedHill�� a��e��.

RedHill is in a strong position with approximately $25.5m in cash and term deposits[1] , demonstrated trading performance resilience in 1H21, and a powerful brand and reputation as evidenced by its assessment as a �Le�el 1 Ri�k Ra�i�g� f��m �he A����alia� G��e��me���� De�a��me�� �f H�me Affai��, being the best possible risk rating. This, coupled with ongoing development of new courses and recent investments in new campuses, ensures RedHill has significant and immediately available operating leverage to the opening of

1 As at 31 December 2021, and subject to audit

i��e��a�i��al b��de��. Im����a��l�, RedHill�� �����g ca�h bala�ce al�� e����es it is well positioned to continue investing in its business and to participate in value-accretive industry consolidation.

Conversely, UCW is in a much weaker position given its net cash position of only $4.5m[2] , lower operating leverage to the opening of international borders, relatively poor track record of performance, execution and governance, and its higher risk profile.

Importantly, due to the nature of the unsolicited, opportunistic and highly conditional UCW Offer, and the refusal of UCW to remedy deficiencies in its disclosure[3] , your Directors have also not been provided the opportunity to undertake due diligence on UCW and form a view as to its current performance, potential ongoing cash requirements, business risks, future outlook and enterprise value.

We further note that the UCW Bidde��� S�a�eme�� states an intention to invite Glenn Elith and me to join UCW as a member of the executive management team and Board, respectively, if the Offer is successful. We wish to be clear that UCW has not approached Glenn or me in relation to these potential roles.

As mentioned earlier in the letter, your Directors unanimously recommend you REJECT UCW�� ��������i��ic and highly conditional Offer. Your Directors will continue to keep you updated on all material developments i� �ela�i�� �� �he Offe�. I� �he mea��ime, if ��� ha�e a�� ��e��i��� i� �ela�i�� �� �hi� Ta�ge��� S�a�eme�� �� your shareholding in RedHill, please call your Shareholder Information Line on 1300 148 799 (for calls made from within Australia) or +61 3 9415 4265 (for calls made from outside Australia), Monday to Friday between 8.30am and 5.00pm (AEDT).

Thank you for being a RedHill shareholder.

Yours sincerely,

Further, as illustrated below, the exchange ratio has been significantly higher historically than the current Offer ratio, highlighting the opportunistic timing of the Offer.

Accordingly, your Directors consider that the Offer ratio of 4.5 UCW shares to every 1 RedHill Share materially undervalues RedHill Shares.

A�����ima�el� 85% �f RedHill�� FY20 �e�e��e �a� ge�e�a�ed f��m deli�e�i�g c����e� a�d �e��ice� �� international students undertaking studies in Australia. Operational impacts resulting from COVID-19 have had �he la�ge�� im�ac� �� RedHill�� G� S��d� A����alia a�d G�ee��ich E�gli�h C�llege ( GEC ):

==> picture [10 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [10 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

  • Go Study Australia is an international student recruitment business and border restrictions have required RedHill to temporarily shutter all but two of its international offices

  • GEC delivers courses and examinations in the English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students ( ELICOS ) sector and is heavily reliant on the arrival of international students into Australia.

Conversely, UCW has no comparable businesses such as Go Study Australia and GEC and its FY20 revenues were comprised of only approximately 75% from the international student market.

As international student volumes begin to increase, RedHill is expected to have greater exposure to these tailwinds and Go Study and ELICOS will be the first divisions to realise the associated benefits.

RedHill�� FY20 and near-term earnings have been further impacted by pre COVID-19 investments in campus leases �the benefits of which are yet to be realised

In FY20, RedHill commenced new leases on two campuses to facilitate the growth forecast at the time � Mary Street, Sydney and Level 14 Spencer Street, Melbourne. Approximate incremental property costs (rental plus outgoings) for both properties during FY20 were $1.2m. Due to COVID-19 reducing international student enrolments and RedHill moving to 100% or partial online course delivery, during FY20 the Mary Street campus was only partially utilised and the Level 14 Spencer Street campus was not utilised at all.

Accordingly, FY20 and near-term earnings / cashflow have been impacted by RedHill experiencing relatively higher property leasing costs due to these recent investments which are not being materially utilised due to COVID-19. UCW�� Offer does not capture the value of these investments once they are fully utilised.

These campuses will provide RedHill significant operating leverage to increasing international student numbers as international borders open, continued growth in domestic students and as in-person learning continues to increase (discussed further in 3) on page 12)

Notwithstanding the above, your Directors and RedHill management are actively managing the cost base and have a number of strategies to minimise lease expenses including sub-leasing, engaging with landlords or not renewing as they expire.

RedHill�s business has disproportionately faced greater impacts from COVID-19 and has greater potential upside and operating leverage from the return of international students. The UCW Offer has been opportunistically timed to take advantage of this relative difference and undervalues RedHill Shares.

10

2) UCW �� ������������ca��� �ee���g �� ga�� c������ ��e� RedH����� significant cash balance to remedy its own relatively weak cash position

In mid-2020, RedHill raised gross proceeds of approximately $12m to increase its available cash and to responsibly shield the business during the economic uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

As at 31 December 2020, RedHill has no debt and is in a strong capital position with a net cash position of $25.5m, inclusive of $23.1m cash at hand and $2.5m in term deposits (which support bank guarantees over campus leases). This provides significant flexibility to weather the continued impacts of COVID-19 as well as allowing RedHill to invest for growth as the market recovers.

In contrast, UCW has a much lower net cash position of $4.5m as at 30 September 2020 (including its deposits on call), which may impact its ability to withstand any further potential pressure on its earnings and cashflow while international borders remain substantially closed. Also concerning is UCW�� �e� ���ki�g capital[7] , a measure of short term liquidity, which is poor at negative ($4.0)m relative to RedHill�� positive $4.4m as at 30 June 2020.

RedHill�� b��i�e��e� operate with robust governance standards, with its academic boards made up of external academics and industry experts, elected staff and student representatives, and key management personnel that focus on governance, compliance and quality assurance on all academic areas for both vocational and higher education course offerings. RedHill also belongs to a number of professional peak bodies, including IHEA, English Australia, IEAA, EVCC and ITECA[10] , and its senior staff are represented on numerous industry and government committees, which reflects its strong reputation within the sector.

For the enrolment of international students, RedHill has a Level 1 Risk Rating from the Australian G��e��me���� De�a��me�� �f H�me Affai�� (the best rating possible), as measured by criteria including strong financial viability and performance, high student completion rates, low risk source countries and achieving low rates of visa application rejections.

These loan and subsidy programs are critically important for domestic students to be able to access funding support to further their education and is a key determinant for students in selecting an education provider and course.

The Australian Government highlighted restarting the international student education industry as a key component in rebuilding the Australian economy as part of the 'Roadmap to a COVIDSafe Australia', with progress already underway with the recent activities of some State Governments. RedHill has a history of, and is actively working collaboratively with State Governments, on plans to facilitate the safe return of international students into Australia.

On 30 November 2020, Australia received the first arrival of international students since March 2020 as part of the Charles Darwin University pilot program approved by both Northern Territory and Australian Governments.[15] Other states have published recovery plans for assisting their international education sectors including South Australia and New South Wales, who plan on receiving international students in 2021.

Importantly, while there is no clarity on the ultimate timing, your Directors believe the global roll out of various vaccines for COVID-19 �ill be a �game-cha�ge�� f�� �he international student education industry, with border restrictions expected to be further eased over time as risk of transmission abates. Qantas has also reopened bookings for its international network from July 2021 as it expects international travel will begin to resume from then[16] .

Your Directors believe Australia will be a considerably more attractive destination for international students than other English-��eaki�g c����ie� ��ch a� �he UK �� �he USA ��ce b��de�� �e��e� d�e �� A����alia�� handling of COVID-19. RedHill has significant operating leverage to increasing student numbers without the need to increase lease costs as highlighted in Figure 9. As a result, your Directors believe RedHill will outperform when international travel recommences.

RedHill�� dome��ic b��ine�� ha� been showing signs of growth and RedHill continues to invest in new courses

RedHill�� d�me��ic ���de�� ��mbe�� ha�e been showing signs of growth and the business has displayed agility in difficult operating conditions.

Coder Academy students grew +36% in 1H21 compared to the prior corresponding period ( pcp ) and AIT domestic students grew despite the transition to online course delivery.

Despite cost rationalisation initiatives, investment in new courses has continued. Three new undergraduate certificate courses were granted accreditation and approved for FEE-HELP in November 2020 and will be launched in 2021. Further plans for an additional three courses for domestic vocational students are in final stages and will also be launched in 2021.[17]

While the RedHill business has been impacted by a decrease in international students in Australia, this is expected to continue only while international travel restrictions are in place. As discussed above in 3) (on page 12), the international student market has historically been resilient to market shocks, and is similarly expected to recover from its COVID-19 impacts.

Further, latent capacity in classrooms provides significant operating leverage as student numbers increase. The new campuses at Mary Street, Sydney and Spencer Street, Melbourne are currently underutilised and will provide immediate upside once borders are fully reopened to international students and in-person teaching increases again. As illustrated in Figure 9, as at 31 December 2020, only 26% of classrooms were utilised which provides significant upside potential.

RedHill has an experienced executive team and a revitalised Board

RedHill has seasoned, highly capable and long-standing executives with deep and relevant industry experience. Glenn Elith, Chief Executive Officer, joined RedHill at the beginning of 2012 and continues to implement strategies to take advantage of emerging opportunities in the tertiary education market. Michael Fahey, Chief Financial Officer, has over 30 years of finance experience garnered across ASX-listed and multi-national companies.

There has also been a number of recent Director appointments to sharpen the focus on inorganic and organic strategic growth initiatives, including the appointment of experienced non-executive Directors Sandra Hook and Stephen Heath in September 2019, to join long-standing Director William Deane who has been on the Board of RedHill since May 2006. Director biographies can be found in Section 7.3 �f �hi� Ta�ge��� Statement.

In November 2020, Bill Beerworth, Chairman of RedHill since prior to its IPO, retired with Stephen Heath taking on the role as Chairman.

Your Board believes that RedHill has been materially impacted by its exposure to COVID-19. However, with the combination of its robust balance sheet, strong reputation and course offering, high operating leverage to increasing student numbers, growth in its domestic market, and strong governance, RedHill is strongly positioned to benefit from a recovery.

Over the 6 and 12 month periods to 11 December 2020, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Offer, the number of UCW shares that traded as a percentage of its total shares on issue was 2.6% and 7.8%, respectively; significantly lower than the number of RedHill shares traded over the same periods (7.9% and 21.9%, respectively).

F�� e�am�le, ��e� �he 3-month period to 11 Decembe� 2020, UCW�� �ha�e ��ice i�c�ea�ed 59.1% (a� i�c�ea�e i� UCW�� ma�ke� ca�i�alisation of $7.6m) based on only approximately $278k worth of cumulative trading, equal to only 1.6% of the UCW shares on issue.

Your Directors believe that the limited trading volumes of UCW shares should not be relied on to determine the fair market value of UCW shares. Further, your Directors are concerned similarly low volumes in the future could decrease the value of UCW shares materially, which would reduce the realisable value of UCW shares post the Offer.

Liquidity risks due to UCW issuing 235,200,747 new shares

RedHill Shareholders should consider the liquidity implications from the UCW shares proposed to be issued under the Offer. The number of UCW shares which would be required to be issued to RedHill shareholders under the Offer is 235,200,747,[19] which represents approximately 200%[20] �f UCW�� c���e��l� i���ed �ha�e capital.

There is risk that RedHill Shareholders who accept the Offer may not hold their new UCW shares in the long term, which would lead to an oversupply of UCW shares following the transaction. Your Directors believe that the issue of 235,500,747 new UCW shares may put significant downward pressure on the realisable value of UCW shares post the Offer, which would reduce the value of the consideration received by RedHill Shareholders.

No due diligence undertaken on UCW

Due to the nature and timing �f UCW�� unsolicited, opportunistic and highly conditional Offer, RedHill Directors have not been provided the opportunity to undertake any private d�e dilige�ce �� UCW�� b��i�e��, earnings, potential cash requirements or its strategy and are therefore unable to form a view on the true underlying value of UCW shares.

18 Dates for periods in Figure 10 include 6 months (12 June 2020 to 11 December 2020 inclusive) and 12 months (12 December 2019 to 11 December 2020 inclusive). RedHill shares account for new issuance of shares in June and July 2020

UCW has refused to adequately disclose the risks of owning UCW shares

UCW has not disclosed in its Bidder's Statement the risks of owning UCW shares which would ordinarily be disclosed in any offer of new shares to the public. This is despite your Directors requesting UCW to outline those risks to RedHill Shareholders, which UCW has refused to do.

5) UCW has a poor track record, poor governance record and higher risk profile relative to RedHill

RedHill�� �hare price and total shareholder returns have outperformed UCW from 31 March 2016 when UCW was relisted on the ASX up until 1 March 2020 (pre COVID-19)

On 31 March 2016, UCW was relisted on the ASX as part of an IPO and capital raising to, among other things, complete the cash consideration of its acquisition of Australian Learning Group Pty Ltd.

Since UCW relisted on the ASX on 31 March 2016, it has never paid a dividend to UCW shareholders.

RedHill, on the other hand, began paying dividends in FY18 and announced its intention in FY19 to maintain stable half-yearly dividends (March, September) of $0.02/share � this was maintained until RedHill prudently revoked its March 2020 dividend payment due to the potential impacts of COVID-19.[21] Since 31 March 2016, RedHill has paid $2.4m in dividends to RedHill Shareholders.

UCW has destroyed shareholder value through the acquisition of Gradability

In July 2017, UCW acquired a 24.6% stake in Gradability (formerly known as Performance Education), a work-readiness program for international student graduates in the fields of accounting and information technology.

A� �he �ime �f ac��i�i�i�� �he UCW�� B�a�d c���ide�ed ��he i��e�e�� i� Pe�f��ma�ce Ed�ca�i�� �� be a strategic stake in a profitable, growing business, which is well-positioned to benefit from the trend towards an i�c�ea�ed f�c�� �� �he em�l��me�� ���c�me� �f acc�edi�ed ed�ca�i���[22] a�d UCW�� c���e�� CEO, Adam Davis, joined the Performance Education board.

UCW is a weaker business compared to RedHill and UCW has not demonstrated a track record of creating shareholder value since relisting on the ASX. Further, your Board is concerned that UCW may be a high-���� �����de� f��� a �eg��a���� �e���ec���e, ���c� �a� ��� RedH����� ��� b����e��e� at risk following a combination.

6) The Offer is highly conditional and the 90% minimum acceptance condition is not capable of being satisfied

Shareholders who hold or control 11.2% of RedHill shares do not intend to accept the Offer

The Offer is subject to seven material conditions and a further number of sub-conditions, including a 90% minimum acceptance condition, which are set out in Section 6.2 �f �hi� Ta�ge��� S�a�eme��.

Welas Pty Ltd (7.4%), Supreme Camillo Capital Ltd (2.5%) and Exto Partners Australia Pty Ltd (0.5%) who hold or control in aggregate 10.3% of RedHill shares on issue[26] , have informed RedHill that they do not intend to accept the Offer in respect of the RedHill shares that they each hold or control.

The 10.3% held or controlled by the RedHill Shareholders above, combined with the 0.9% of RedHill Shares held or controlled by your Directors and management[27] , results in RedHill shareholders representing 11.2% of RedHill Shares on issue intending not to accept the Offer.

This means that UCW will be unable to meet its 90% minimum acceptance condition and the Offer cannot proceed unless this condition is waived by UCW.

Limited acceptances received as of the date of this Target Statement

As of the day prior to the da�e �f �hi� Ta�ge��� S�a�eme��, only 2.55% of RedHill Shares have accepted the Offer, excluding the 19.9% of shares that have accepted under pre-bid acceptance arrangements with UCW.

The current UCW Offer is incapable of being successful. Even if UCW waives its 90% minimum acceptance condition, there is a real risk it will not be able to acquire 100% of RedHill under the Offer. This means UCW will not be able to use RedHill's cash to support itself, it will not be able to achieve the synergy benefits it has stated exist and there will be negative consequences for RedHill Shareholders who accept the Offer and receive UCW shares

William Dea�e�� shares (254.7k, 0.5%) are accounted for in Exto Partners Australia Pty Ltd in his capacity as an owner). Percentages based on RedHill total shares on issue of 50.9m. Note the holdings have been rounded to one decimal place

7) Synergies suggested by UCW are not appropriately disclosed and are potentially overstated, and, in any case, they are unlikely to be achieved as UCW cannot acquire 100% of RedHill

UCW�� Bidde��� S�a�eme�� ��a�e� �ha� ��e �f �he ke� �ea���� f�� RedHill Sha�eh�lde�� �� acce�� �he Offe� i� the immediate and longer-term cost and revenue synergies to be achieved by the combined group. The majority of these synergies are, in your Directors' view, likely only to be realised on a 100% acquisition of RedHill Shares.

Given that RedHill Shareholders holding or controlling in aggregate 11.2% of RedHill Shares on issue do not intend to accept the Offer, UCW will not control 100% of RedHill and the purported synergies generated from the Offer will, in your Directors' view, be minimal (if any).

Further, if UCW were to waive its 90% minimum acceptance condition and does not achieve 100% control of RedHill, it will also be unlikely for UCW to achieve its purported synergies.

More broadly, your Directors note that there has been no due diligence undertaken by either UCW or RedHill on the transaction to confirm the potential synergy benefits, or to more fulsomely assess the potential risks in respect of the transaction. UCW has provided almost no details, calculations or assumptions to support its estimate of synergies so they cannot be verified by your Directors and management team. When asked by your Directors, UCW refused to outline in more detail to RedHill Shareholders UCW's calculations of the synergy benefits that they have baldly stated exist.

8) If you accept the Offer, you risk missing out on a superior offer from another party if one emerges

The Offer from UCW appears to be opportunistically timed given the impact of COVID-19 �� RedHill�� ��e�a�i��� a�d di�c���� �� RedHill�� hi����ical �ha�e ��adi�g ��ice�. Considering this, there may be alternative proposals to the Offer ( Third Party Proposals ) which may arise and that may be more beneficial to RedHill shareholders.

Accepting the Offer will deny you of the potential benefits of any subsequent superior proposal by another party, should one emerge, and if all �f �he c��di�i��� �f UCW�� Offe� a�e �ai�ed �� �a�i�fied. You will also give up your right to deal with your RedHill Shares while the Offer remains open and conditional without receiving any benefits.

A� a� �he da�e �f �hi� Ta�ge��� S�a�eme��, RedHill ha� ��� �ecei�ed a�� c�m�e�i�g ������al �hich ma� be considered a superior proposal to the Offer. While there can be no certainty that any Third Party Proposals will be provided to RedHill, the Board is committed to exploring all options that are in the best interests of, and have the potential to maximise value for, RedHill Shareholders.

Accepting the Offer will deny you the benefit of any subsequent superior proposal by another party should it emerge

3. Response to defective disclosures by UCW

F�ll��i�g a de�ailed �e�ie� �f UCW�� Bidde��� S�a�eme�� �elea�ed �� 14 December 2020 and dispatched to RedHill Shareholders on 29 December 2020, your Directors believed that there were information deficiencies i� UCW�� Bidde��� S�a�eme�� and the initial substantial holder notice lodged by UCW on 14 December 2020. Your Directors further believe that those information deficiencies disadvantage RedHill Shareholders and �hei� ca�aci�� �� make a f�ll� i�f��med deci�i�� a� �� �he�he� �� ��� �� acce�� UCW�� Offe�.

To address those information deficiencies, your Directors proactively raised their disclosure concerns with UCW. UCW refused to acknowledge or address these deficiencies and refused to make the necessary disclosures.

The �able bel�� c���ai�� ���� Di�ec����� �e�����e �� what they consider to be defective disclosures by UCW i� i�� Bidde��� S�a�eme�� and its initial substantial holder notice:

UCW�� c�a�� UCW�� c�a�� RedH����� �e�����e
B�dde��� S�a�e�e��
1 Section 1.4� UCW's
unsubstantiated statement
on the potential pre-tax cost
synergies of acquiring
RedHill
The quantum of pre-tax costs synergies of UCW acquiring RedHill described in
the Bidder's Statement are so vaguely drafted, unsubstantiated and potentially
misleading that RedHill and RedHill Shareholders are unable to assess the
merits of the Offer. In particular, the statement in section 1.4 of the Bidder's
Statement states that_'UCW's analysis and review of publicly available_
information on RedHill has led it to believe that it could target aggregate pre-tax
cost synergies of approximately A$3 million over the next 3 years'. UCW have
presented this figure without providing any detail or specificity on how it proposes
to realise this value of synergies if the Offer was to succeed.
As a result, and, in the opinion of RedHill, the absence of being provided
information in order to substantiate or assess the accuracy of the synergy
amounts proposed to be realised if the Offer were to succeed restricts RedHill
and RedHill Shareholders from having any meaningful way of assessing the
basis and merits for the alleged synergies if the Offer were to succeed and is a
breach of the Corporations Act.
2 Section 12� UCW's failure
to disclose the specific risks
of owning UCW shares
UCW has failed to disclose the risks associated with becoming a UCW
shareholder. In the opinion of RedHill, UCW's failure to adequately disclose
these risks is a breach of the Corporations Act and UCW should make corrective
disclosure of these risks in a supplementary bidder's statement.
In the absence of adequate risk disclosure, RedHill and its current and
prospective shareholders have no meaningful way to assess the risks associated
with becoming a UCW shareholder if the Offer was to succeed.
3 Section 9� UCW's
inclusion of a condition
9.1(d) which turns on their
subjective opinion
The Corporations Act prohibits a takeover bid from including a condition that is
effectively based on a bidder's opinion. RedHill is of the view that the condition in
section 9.1(d) of the Bidder's Statement breaches this prohibition in the
Corporations Act, as the determination of whether or not any third party takeover
bid for RedHill is a 'superior offer' to the Offer rests solely with UCW.
2 Initial substantial holder notice
4 Failure to attach full terms
of the pre-bid acceptance
agreements
The failure to attach the full terms of the pre-bid acceptance agreements to
UCW's initial substantial holder notice lodged with the ASX on 14 December
2020 is an unambiguous breach of the Corporations Act and ASIC policy and, in
the opinion of RedHill, undermines the basic principle of a takeover bid operating
in an 'efficient, competitive and informed market'.

4. Frequently asked questions

This Section answers some questions you may have about the Offer. It is not intended to address all relevant issues for RedHill Shareholders. This Section should be read in conjunction with all other parts of �hi� Ta�ge��� S�a�eme��.

Question Answer
The Offer
What is UCW offering for
my RedHill Shares?
UCW is offering 4.5 UCW Shares for every 1 RedHill Share, with any fractional
entitlement being rounded up to the nearest whole UCW Share.
Who is UCW? UCW is an ASX-listed Australia based company that owns and operates tertiary
education businesses, with a current focus on Health and Community Services fields
of study.
As at the date of announcing its Offer, UCW had a relevant interest in approximately
19.9% of RedHill Shares, under pre-bid acceptance agreements with Perpetual
Limited and Viburnum Funds.
Did RedHill have any
knowledge of UCW��
intention to make its
Offer?
No. The Offer was unsolicited and made without any prior notice to or consultation
with RedHill. UCW first verbally informed RedHill of its intention to make the Offer on
the Sunday before UCW l�dged i�� Bidde��� S�a�eme�� �i�h ASX a�d ASIC ��
Monday, 14 December 2020. This 18 hour notice on the Sunday provided RedHill with
no time to respond to or even discuss the Offer with UCW.
What choices do I have in
response to the Offer?
As a Shareholder you have the following three choices in respect of your RedHill
Shares:
REJECT the Offer and remain a RedHill Shareholder �to reject the Offer
simply do nothing �ignore all documents sent to you by UCW. This option is
���� Di�ec����� unanimous recommendation;
sell your RedHill Shares on the ASX (unless you have previously accepted
the Offer). A� a� �he da�e �f �hi� Ta�ge��� S�a�eme��, �he VWAP �f RedHill
Shares since UCW announced its Offer is A$0.834 per Share28.
accept the Offer by following the instructions set out in sections 8.6 of the
Bidde��� S�a�eme��.
There are implications for you in relation to each of these choices. An outline of these
implications is set out in Section 5 �f �hi� Ta�ge��� S�a�eme��.
Will RedHill remain listed
on the ASX?
That depends on the outcome of the Offer.
In the event the Offer is successful and UCW acquires 90% of RedHill Shares, UCW
has stated that it will proceed to compulsorily acquire the Shares of RedHill
Shareholders that do not accept the Offer. This will result in RedHill being delisted.
If UCW controls more than 50.1% but less than 90% of RedHill Shares, and then only
if UCW declares the Offer unconditional or the 90% minimum acceptance condition to
UCW�� Offe� i� �ai�ed or satisfied, UCW may also have the ability to remove RedHill
from the official list of ASX. See Section 6.5 for further details.
Does the Offer extend to
all RedHill Shares?
Yes. The Offer extends to all existing RedHill Shares and to all new RedHill Shares
that are issued after the date of the Offer.
How to respond to the Offer
What do your Directors
recommend?
Your Directors unanimously recommend that you REJECT the Offer, for the
reasons set out in Section 2.2 �f ���� Ta�ge��� S�a�e�e��.
If there is a change to this recommendation or any material developments in relation
to the Offer, RedHill will keep you fully informed.
What do your Directors
intend to do with their own
Shares?
All of your Directors intend toREJECT the Offer.

Question Answer
When do I have to make a
decision?
If ��� �i�h �� f�ll�� ���� Di�ec����� unanimous recommendation toREJECT the Offer,
you do not need to do anything. You shouldIGNOREall documents received from
UCW.
If you wish to accept the Offer, you must do so before its scheduled closing date.
UCW has stated that its Offer remains open until 5.00pm (Sydney time) on 29 January
2021. UCW has reserved the right to extend the Offer Period in accordance with the
Corporations Act. In addition, the Offer Period may be extended automatically in
certain circumstances. See Section 6.7 �f �hi� Ta�ge��� S�a�eme�� f�� de�ail� �f �he
circumstances in which the Offer Period can be extended.
Will UCW increase its
Offer?
RedHill cannot say whether UCW will increase its Offer as this is a matter for UCW.
What happens if UCW
increases its Offer or
another offer emerges?
If UCW increases its Offer or another offer emerges from another party, your Directors
will carefully consider the revised Offer and advise Shareholders accordingly.
What happens if I accept
the Offer and a superior
offer is subsequently made
by a third party for my
RedHill Shares?
If you accept the Offer, you cannot withdraw except in one limited circumstance: if
UCW varies its Offer in a way that postpones for more than one month the time by
which UCW must meet its obligations under its Offer. For example, if UCW extends
the Offer Period for more than one month while its Offer remains conditional.
You will be unable to accept any other superior offer that may emerge if you
have accepted the Offer. As at the date of this Target's Statement, your Directors
are not aware of any other offer. If any such other offer is made or any circumstances
occur which, in the opinion of your Directors may eventuate in an alternate offer for
your RedHill Shares, RedHill will update RedHill Shareholders on all material
developments.
What happens if I do
nothing?
If you do nothing you will keep your Shares and you will remain a RedHill
Shareholder.
However, If UCW acquires 90% or more of RedHill Shares, UCW has stated that it
intends to compulsorily acquire your RedHill Shares. See Section 6.6 �f �hi� Ta�ge���
Statement for more details.
If UCW acquires between 50% and 90% of RedHill Shares under the Offer, and then
only if UCW declares the Offer unconditional or the 90% minimum acceptance
c��di�i�� �� UCW�� Offe� i� �ai�ed or satisfied, you will be a minority shareholder in
RedHill. The implications of this outcome are described in Section 6.4 �f �hi� Ta�ge���
Statement.
What are the risks
associated with continuing
to hold RedHill Shares?
Those risks are outlined in Section 7.5 �f �hi� Ta�ge��� S�a�eme��.
What are the risks
associated with accepting
the Offer and holding UCW
shares?
Unfortunately, UCW has failed to adequately describe the risks of accepting the Offer
and holding UCW Shares. RedHill Di�ec����� c���ide� �ha� ��me �f �he �i�k� �f h�ldi�g
UCW shares, which are specific to UCW, would include (but are not limited to):
illiquidity of its trading shares;
weaker balance sheet position;
unclear Board and management composition;
heightened regulatory risks;
international risk rating;
poor track record of acquisitions; and
failure to deliver stated $3m of synergies
Refer to Section 6.3(b) on page 29 for further information on the above risks.
In addition, further to the above risks specific to UCW, your Directors also believe the
broader risks faced by RedHill, as outlined in Section 7.5 �f �hi� Ta�ge��� S�a�eme��,
are also applicable for those Redhill shareholders who accept the Offer and receive
UCW Shares.

23

Question Answer
If I accept the Offer now,
can I withdraw my
acceptance later?
No, except in one limited circumstance.
You may only withdraw your acceptance before the Offer Periods ends if UCW varies
its Offer in a way that postpones the period UCW is required to satisfy its obligations
b� m��e �ha� ��e m���h a�d UCW�� Offe� i� ��ill ��bjec� �� ��e �� m��e C��di�i���.
This circumstance will occur if UCW extends the Offer Period by more than one month
�hile UCW�� Offe� i� ��ill subject to any Condition.
Can UCW extend the
closing date of its Offer?
Yes. UCW has stated that its Offer remains open until 5.00pm (Sydney time) on 29
January 2021, unless it is withdrawn or extended under the Corporations Act. UCW
has reserved the right to extend the Offer Period in accordance with the Corporations
Act.
In addition, the Offer Period may be extended automatically in certain circumstances.
See Section 6.7 �f �hi� Ta�ge��� S�a�eme�� f�� de�ail� �f �he ci�c�m��a�ce� i� �hich
the Offer Period can be extended.
Can I be forced to sell my
RedHill Shares?
You cannot be forced to sell your RedHill Shares unless UCW is legally allowed to
proceed to compulsory acquisition of RedHill Shares. This will only occur if UCW
acquires at least 90% of all RedHill Shares (under the Offer or otherwise) and it elects
to proceed to compulsorily acquire the outstanding RedHill Shares.
If UCW does compulsorily acquire the outstanding RedHill Shares following its
acquisition of at least 90% of RedHill Shares under the Offer, you will receive the
same Offer Consideration for your RedHill Shares that you would have received under
the Offer, but it will take longer for you to receive the Offer Consideration.
For more information about compulsory acquisition refer to Section 6.6 �f �hi� Ta�ge���
Statement.
Can I accept the Offer for
only some of my RedHill
Shares?
No. The terms of the Offer allow you to accept the Offer only forallof your RedHill
Shares. Special rules apply to nominees and others holding RedHill Shares for
different accounts.
When will I receive the
Offer Consideration if I
accept the Offer?
It is important to understand that even if you accept UCW's Offer, you will not receive
the Offer Consideration unless all of the Conditions are satisfied or waived.
If UCW's Offer becomes unconditional, you will receive your Offer Consideration by
the earlier of:
one month after the date of your acceptance of UCW's Offer or, if UCW's
Offer is subject to a Condition when you accept UCW's Offer, within one
month after the contract arising from your acceptance of UCW's Offer
becomes unconditional; and
21 days after the end of the Offer Period.
Will I need to pay
brokerage or stamp duty if
I accept the Offer?
If your RedHill Shares are registered in your name in an Issuer Sponsored Holding
(���� SRN ��a��� �i�h a� �I�), ��� �ill ��� i�c�� a�� brokerage fees or pay stamp duty
in connection with your acceptance of the Offer.
If your RedHill Shares are registered in a CHESS Holding (your HIN starts with an
�X�), �� if ��� a�e a be�eficial ���e� �h��e Sha�e� a�e �egi��e�ed i� �he �ame �f a
broker, bank, custodian or other nominee, you will not pay stamp duty by accepting
the Offer. However, you should ask your Controlling Participant (usually your broker)
or nominee whether it will charge any transactional fees or service charges in
connection with acceptance of the Offer.
You may incur brokerage costs if you choose to sell your RedHill Shares on the ASX.
Are there any taxation
implications of accepting
the Offer?
A general outline of the tax implications for certain Australian-resident RedHill
Shareholders of accepting the Offer is set out in Section 8 �f �hi� Ta�ge��� S�a�eme��.
As that outline is general in nature and does not take into account your individual
circumstances, you should not rely on that outline as advice for your particular
circumstances.
You should seek your own independent advice on the taxation implications applicable
to your specific circumstances.

will lose the opportunity to receive future returns from RedHill in relation to those RedHill Shares; and

  • may receive consideration for your Shares the value of which is lower than the control value of your RedHill Shares.

Condition (adopting the Condition numbering in
�ec���� 9.1 �f ��e B�dde��� S�a�e�e��)31
Likely to be satisfied?
a 90% Minimum Acceptance Condition: UCW has
a relevant interest in such number of Shares
which represent at least 90% of all the Shares on
issue at that time.
No. RedHill has received letters from Shareholders
holding more than 10% of RedHill Shares stating they do
not support the Offer and do not intend to accept it in
respect of the RedHill Shares they own or control.
This Condition is wholly o���ide RedHill�� c�����l.
b Shareholder approval condition: UCW
Shareholders pass at a general meeting a
resolution under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 authorising
UCW to issue the Offer Consideration.
Unknown. This Condition is wholly outside RedHill's
control.
c No significant transactions:RedHill Group
enters into, or agrees to, any substantial
transactions (acquisitions, disposals, undertaking
or subjected to a substantial new liability) or
engages or agrees to engage any new personnel,
or terminates or materially change the terms or
remuneration of any existing personnel, other than
in the ordinary course of business.
Potentially not within RedHill's control. RedHill is not
currently aware of any matters that have arisen since the
Announcement Date, or which are reasonably likely to
arise during the Offer Period, which are likely to breach
this Condition.
Nevertheless, while the RedHill Board does not consider
it appropriate to deliberately frustrate the Offer, given the
overall extent to which this C��di�i�� �e���ic�� RedHill��
activities over a potentially lengthy period, your Directors
consider that it is possible that by pursuing opportunities
in the best interests of RedHill Shareholders this
Condition could be breached in the future.
RedHill will make any decision to pursue such an
opportunity, or take any other action, having regard to the
best interests of RedHill Shareholders, the fiduciary
duties of RedHill and its Directors and the applicable
policies of the Takeovers Panel. In those circumstances,
UCW would then need to determine whether it will rely on
a breach of this Condition.
If UCW decides to rely on a breach of this Condition,
UCW will not proceed with the Offer and any contract
resulting from an acceptance will become void.
d No superior offer: before the end of the Offer, no
superior offer is announced or a bidder's
statement detailing a superior offer to the Offer is
despatched to RedHill Shareholders without the
prior written consent of UCW.
Unknown. This Condition is wholly outside RedHill's
control.
e No material adverse regulatory action -
corporate: no Government Agency takes any
action that may restrain or prohibit the Offer or
UCW acquiring Shares, or commences or
threatens to commence proceedings to require
UCW divest any Shares or RedHill Group assets
without the prior written consent of UCW.
Unknown. Nothing has come to the attention of the
RedHill Board which indicates that this Condition will not
be satisfied. However, unforeseen events may emerge
during the Offer Period which are partially or wholly
����ide RedHill�� c�����l a�d �hich ma� lead to a breach
of this Condition.
f No material adverse regulatory action -
education: no Government Agency takes any
action that materially varies, restrains or prohibits
RedHill's business activities.
Unknown. Nothing has come to the attention of the
RedHill Board which indicates that this Condition will not
be satisfied. However, unforeseen events may emerge

of this Condition.

occurrences (being the occurrences listed in
section 652C of the Corporations Act) happen.

which indicates that this Condition will not be materially
satisfied.

6.3 Risks associated with the Offer

RedHill Shareholders should be aware of the following key risks associated with the Offer.

(a) Risks associated with rejecting the Offer

31 Thi� �able ����ide� a ��mma�� �f �he C��di�i��� ��l�. The C��di�i��� a�e �e� ��� i� f�ll i� �ec�i�� 9.1 �f �he Bidde��� S�a�ement.

28

If you choose to reject the Offer, you will not receive the Offer Consideration (UCW Shares) for your RedHill Shares. Instead you will remain a RedHill Shareholder and will continue to be subject to the risks associated with holding RedHill Shares. A non-exhaustive summary of those risks is set out in Section 7.5 �f �hi� Ta�ge��� S�a�eme��.

If you choose to reject the Offer and UCW acquires less than 90% of RedHill Shares, and then only if UCW declares the Offer unconditional or the 90% minimum acceptance condition �� UCW�� Offe� i� �ai�ed or satisfied, you will also be exposed to the minority shareholder risks described in Section 6.4 �f �hi� Ta�ge��� S�a�eme��.

(b)

Risks associated with accepting the Offer.

If ��� acce�� UCW�� Offe� while it is conditional, you will immediately lose the following rights:

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

you lose your right to sell your RedHill Shares on the ASX or otherwise deal with them;

you lose your right to participate in a superior offer from another bidder should one emerge; and

you lose the right to control your RedHill Shares and the rights attaching to them and give that to UCW with no guarantee of receiving the Offer Consideration until the Offer becomes unconditional.

In addition, if you accept the Offer, you will no longer be eligible to access the benefits of remaining a RedHill Shareholder, including any potential increase in the RedHill Share price above the Implied Offer Value.

You may also be liable to pay tax on the disposal of your RedHill Shares which may have financial consequences for some RedHill Shareholders. See Section 8 of this Target's Statement for further details of the tax consequences of accepting the Offer.

You are only able to withdraw your acceptance in the following limited circumstance: if UCW varies the Offer in a way that postpones for more than one month the time by which UCW must meet its obligations under the Offer. This circumstance will occur if UCW extends the Offe� Pe�i�d b� m��e �ha� ��e m���h a�d UCW�� Offe� i� ��ill subject to Conditions.

The effect of accepting the Offer is set out in section 8.9 of �he Bidde��� S�a�eme��. RedHill Shareholders should read those provisions in full to understand the effect that acceptance will have on their ability to exercise the Rights attaching to their RedHill Shares and the representations and warranties which they give by accepting UCW�� Offe�.

In particular, RedHill Shareholders should note that by accepting the Offer, UCW will be entitled to attend meetings of RedHill and vote on accepting RedHill Sha�eh�lde��� behalf i� respect of their RedHill Shares to defeat resolutions relating to competing offers which may adversely affect the success of the Offer and may impact the value you could receive for your Shares.

UCW has failed to adequately describe the risks of accepting the Offer and holding UCW Shares. RedHill Di�ec����� c���ide� �ha� ��me �f �he �i�k� �f h�ldi�g UCW �ha�e�, �hich a�e specific to UCW, would include (but are not limited to):

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

illiquidity of its trading shares: UCW is a relatively illiquid stock, with only 7.8% of its share capital traded in the 12 months to 11 December 2020. Importantly, small ��adi�g ��l�me� ca� ha�e a �ig�ifica�� im�ac� �� UCW�� �ha�e ��ice, �i�h UCW�� shares increasing appro�ima�el� 59% (a� i�c�ea�e i� UCW�� ma�ke� ca�i�alisation of $7.6m) in the three months to 11 December 2020 based on only approximately $278,000 worth of trading. Similarly, low volumes could decrease the value of UCW shares materially, which would impact the future market price of UCW shares and impact the value you receive when you sell your UCW shares;

weaker balance sheet position: UCW has a significantly lower net cash position, relative to RedHill. Your Directors have not been given access to private due dilige�ce �� UCW a�d a�e ��� able �� f��m a �ie� �� UCW�� c���e�� bala�ce �hee� position and its cash requirements. There is a risk that UCW may need to raise equity capital to continue to operate and, if funding is available, it is likely to be dilutive to those who accept the Offer and receive UCW shares. This risk is further increased

29

should UCW acquire less than 90% of RedHill Shares and is therefore not able to access RedHill's significantly stronger cash balance;

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

unclear Board and Management composition: The ultimate composition of the UCW Board following the transaction is unclear. Although UCW intends to invite Stephen Heath to the Board and Glenn Elith to the Executive Management Team, UCW has not discussed the proposed roles with either of them. In addition, David Buckinghman, the proposed new chairman of UCW, has not yet been appointed and does not have any prior ASX listed board experience as a Chairman and it is unknown how he will interact with the other UCW board members and executives;

heightened regulatory risks: UCW is not a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) with VET Student Loans (VSL) accreditation, which enables domestic students to access government tuition funding support. To achieve accreditation for VSL (which RedHill has) an RTO must meet stringent criteria, including student eligibility, academic suitability, and the requirement that all directors and senior management �a�� �he �Fi� a�d P���e� Pe���� Decla�a�i��� �ha� i� a�����ed b� �he A����alia� Government. Lack of an RTO accreditation for VSL indicates UCW may have a ���e��ial i�abili�� �� mee� �he ���i�ge�� c�i�e�ia, �hich ma� im�ac� RedHill�� businesses and financial performance following the acquisition;

international risk rating: For the enrolment of international students, RedHill has a Le�el 1 Ri�k Ra�i�g, �he be�� a�ailable f��m �he A����alia� G��e��me���� De�a��me�� of Home Affairs, as measured by criteria including strong financial viability and performance, high student completion rates, prioritising low risk source countries and achieving low rates of visa application rejections. UCW has not publicly stated its Risk Ra�i�g. If i� i� ����e �ha� RedHill�� Le�el 1 �he� �hi� i�dica�e� a ���e��iall� g�ea�e� �i�k around financial viability, lower student completion rates, higher risk source nationalities, and higher visa rejection rates. Further, if RedHill is controlled by UCW, RedHill ma� l��e i�� Le�el 1 Ri�k Ra�i�g �hich ma� im�ac� RedHill�� b��i�e��e� a�d financial performance following the acquisition;

poor track record of acquisitions: UCW has a poor track record of making acquisitions having fully impaired by $6.1m its acquisition of shares in Gradability within two and a half years of the investment and the UCW CEO joining the Gradability board. UCW may not be able to successfully operate the more complex RedHill business, integrate the RedHill and UCW businesses nor realise any material synergies from the acquisitions which would impact the financial performance of the combined businesses and may materially impact the value of your shares; and

failure to deliver stated $3 million in synergies: The prospect of achieving synergies in M&A transactions is an important driver of value. There has been no due diligence undertaken by either UCW or RedHill on the transaction to confirm the potential synergy benefits. UCW has provided almost no details, calculations or assumptions to support its estimate of synergies so they cannot be verified by RedHill. UCW may not be able to successfully deliver the stated $3m of synergies and the period for realising / achieving stated synergies through revenue or cost management is unclear. Further it is unclear what the potential costs to achieve any of the purported synergies may be.

The above risks are not exhaustive of all the UCW specific risks relevant to holding UCW shares. Further to the above risks specific to UCW, your Directors also believe the broader �i�k� faced b� RedHill, a� ���li�ed i� Sec�i�� 7.5 �f �hi� Ta�ge��� S�a�eme��, a�e al�� applicable for those Redhill shareholders who accept the Offer and receive UCW Shares.

If UCW acquires more than 50% but less than 90% of the RedHill Shares then, and then only if UCW declares the Offer unconditional or the 90% minimum acceptance c��di�i�� �� UCW�� Offe� is waived or satisfied, UCW will acquire a majority shareholding in RedHill.

In those circumstances, RedHill Shareholders who do not accept the Offer will become minority shareholders of RedHill. This outcome has a number of possible implications, including:

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

UCW will be in a position to cast the majority of votes at a general meeting of RedHill, enabling UCW to control the composition of RedHill Board and senior management and the strategic direction of RedHill and its subsidiaries;

the RedHill Share price may fall immediately following the end of the Offer Period although this may be mitigated by the underlying attractiveness of RedHill�� b��i�e��;

the liquidity of RedHill Shares may be lower than at present;

if the number of RedHill Shareholders is less than that required by the ASX Listing Rules to maintain an ASX listing, then UCW may seek to have RedHill removed from the official list of the ASX (delisting). If this occurs, RedHill Shares will not be able to be bought or sold on the ASX;

UCW and RedHill will not be able to form an income tax consolidated group;

  • UCW will not be able to access the assets of RedHill for its own purposes including the cash that RedHill holds on its balance sheet which may have implications for the financial position of UCW or its need to raise capital in the near term (see Section 2.2 above on page 8 for more detail); and

UCW is unlikely to extract any of the purported synergies from the transaction.

In addition, if UCW acquires 75% or more of the RedHill Shares, and then only if UCW declares the Offer unconditional or �he 90% mi�im�m acce��a�ce c��di�i�� �� UCW�� Offe� i� �aived or satisfied, it will be able to pass a special resolution at a meeting of RedHill Shareholders which, among other things, would enable UCW to pass amendments to RedHill�� c����i���i��.

If the Offer lapses or if UCW acquires less than 50% of RedHill Shares, the trading price of RedHill Shares may be higher or lower than the implied value of the Offer Consideration. If you remain a RedHill Shareholder in this circumstance, you will continue to enjoy the rewards and be subject to the risks, of being a RedHill Shareholder.

UCW ��a�e� i� i�� Bidde��� S�a�eme�� �ha� if i� �b�ai�� g�ea�e� �ha� 90% �f RedHill Shares, UCW will proceed to compulsorily acquire any remaining RedHill Shares, which will result in the delisting of RedHill from ASX. Alternatively, if UCW obtains more than 50.1% but less than 90% of RedHill Shares, and then only if UCW declares the Offer unconditional or the 90% minimum acceptance c��di�i�� �� UCW�� Offe� i� �ai�ed or satisfied, UCW may also have the ability to delist RedHill from ASX. Therefore, there is a possibility of RedHill being delisted following the Offer. If this occurs, RedHill Shares will not be able to be bought or sold on the ASX.

A� a� �he da�e �f �hi� Ta�ge��� S�a�ement, your Directors consider that it is unlikely that RedHill faces imminent delisting. Your Directors wish to emphasise the following important legal protections to Shareholders regarding any potential delisting of RedHill:

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

any decision to apply to the ASX to delist RedHill would need to be made by the RedHill Board, not by UCW as the controlling Shareholder.

  • the RedHill Board, including nominee directors appointed by UCW, could only decide to seek a delisting if the Board concludes that this action is in the best interests of RedHill and its Shareholders as a whole, at the relevant time.

  • your Directors currently consider that the disadvantages for Shareholders of delisting outweigh any potential benefits. The�ef��e, ���� Di�ec����� c���e�� i��e��i�� ���ld be �� ���e against any Board proposal to delist RedHill (h��e�e�, ���� Di�ec����� �ie�� may change depending on future circumstances including the final level of control achieved by UCW at the end of the Offer).

even if (a majority of) the Board resolved to delist RedHill from ASX, this action would still �e��i�e �he ASX�� c���e�� a�d i� likely to be subject to conditions imposed by ASX, which would be likely to include the approval of RedHill Shareholders by special resolution.

ASX states[32] that it will use its discretion to ensure that the delisting of any entity is being sought for acceptable reasons. For example, ASX notes that a request to remove an entity

32 See ASX G�ida�ce N��e 33 �hich �e�� ��� ASX�� ��lic� i� �ela�i�� �� a deli��i�g �e��e��.

31

from the ASX that is primarily or solely aimed at denying minority shareholders a market for their securities, in order to coerce them into accepting an offer from a controlling shareholder to buy out their securities, would be an unacceptable reason for requesting removal from the official list.

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

the ASX applies a number of guidelines to safeguard the interests of minority shareholders in the context of any proposed delisting.

a key ASX guideline is that the approval of RedHill minority shareholders would most likely be needed for the ASX to allow delisting unless each of the following three conditions are met:

  • (a) UCW has at least 75% control of RedHill at the time delisting is sought; and

  • (b) there are fewer than 150 RedHill Shareholders (excluding UCW and its related bodies c�����a�e) �h��e �ha�eh�ldi�g i� ����h a� lea�� A$500. A� a� �he da�e �f �hi� Ta�ge��� Statement, RedHill has approximately 486 Shareholders; and

  • (c) the Offer remains open for at least an additional two weeks after UCW attains at least 75% control of RedHill.

If, despite the above procedural protections, RedHill is ultimately delisted at some point in the future, any remaining RedHill Shareholders would be holders of unquoted shares. A delisting would result in a number of disadvantages for Shareholders such as:

@"@

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

the absence of an orderly, transparent and timely mechanism for share trading;

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • restricted information compared to that currently provided as RedHill would no longer be subject to the continuous disclosure requirements of the ASX Listing Rules. If RedHill remains a public company after delisting and has at least 100 members, RedHill would still be required to disclose material information to ASIC and likely on its website. Nevertheless, the level of shareholder reporting in these circumstances could be diminished; and

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

the ceasing of various requirements and protections for minority shareholders under the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act. Examples of provisions that would cease to apply include: restrictions on the issue of new securities, a governance framework for related party transactions, requirements to seek Shareholder approval for significant changes in the nature or scale of RedHill�� ac�i�i�ie� a�d �he a���al c���ide�a�i�� �f a �em��e�a�i�� �e����.

(;1B<0.;3K#)/M<-.-:-;*#

  • (a) Compulsory acquisition following the Offer

UCW ��a�e� i� i�� Bidde��� S�a�eme�� �ha� if i� bec�me� e��i�led �� ���ceed �� c�m��l���il� acquire outstanding RedHill Shares at the end of the Offer Period under Part 6A.1 of the Corporations Act, it intends to do so.

If you choose to reject the Offer, you will only have your Shares compulsorily acquired if, by the end of the Offer Period, UCW:

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

increases its ownership interest to at least 90%; and

acquires at least 75% of the RedHill Shares that UCW offered to acquire.

If these thresholds are met, UCW will have one month after the end of the Offer Period within which to give compulsory acquisition notices to Shareholders who have not accepted the Offer.

  • (b) Future compulsory acquisition by UCW

Even if UCW does not satisfy the compulsory acquisition threshold referred to in Section 6.6(a) �f �hi� Ta�ge��� S�a�eme��, i� i� ����ible �ha� UCW will, at some time after the end of the Offer Period, become the full beneficial holder of 90% of the RedHill Shares. If so, UCW would then have rights to compulsorily acquire RedHill Shares not owned by it within six months of becoming a 90% holder. The price for compulsory acquisition under this procedure would have to be considered in a report of an independent expert at the relevant time.

  • (c) Challenging compulsory acquisition

RedHill Shareholders have statutory rights to challenge any compulsory acquisition. However, a successful challenge will require the relevant RedHill Shareholders to establish to

32

the satisfaction of a court that the terms of the Offer do not represent fair value for the RedHill Shares.

If RedHill Shares are compulsorily acquired, Shareholders who have their RedHill Shares compulsorily acquired are not likely to receive the Offer Consideration for their RedHill Shares until at least one month after the compulsory acquisition notices are dispatched to them.

Extension of the Offer Period UCW may extend the Offer Period at any time before giving the Notice of
Status of Conditions (refe��ed �� bel��) �hile UCW�� Offe� i� ��bjec� ��

H��e�e�, if UCW�� Offe� bec�me� ��c��di�i��al (�ha� i�, if all �he C��di�i���

the end of the Offer Period.
In addition, there will be an automatic extension of the Offer Period if, within the
last seven days of the Offer Period:
UCW improves the Offer Consideration; or
UCW�� ���i�g ���e� i� RedHill increases to more than 50%.
If either of these two events occur, the Offer Period is automatically extended
so that it ends 14 days after the occurrence of the relevant event.
The maximum duration of the Offer Period is 12 months.
Notice of status of
Conditions
Section 9.4 of �he Bidde��� S�a�eme�� ha� �he effec� �ha� UCW will give a Notice
of Status of Conditions to the ASX and RedHill no later than 22 January 2021,

UCW is required to set out in its Notice of Status of Conditions:

whether, so far as UCW knows, any of the Conditions have been
satisfied; and
UCW�� ���i�g ���e� i� RedHill.
If the Offer Period is extended by a period before the current date by which the
Notice of Status of Conditions is to be given, the date for giving the Notice of
Status of Conditions will be taken to be postponed for the same period. In those
circumstances, UCW is required, as soon as practicable after the extension, to
give a notice to the ASX and RedHill that states the new date for the giving of
the Notice of Status of Conditions.
If a Condition is satisfied during the Offer Period, but before the date on which
the Notice of Status of Conditions is required to be given, UCW must as soon
as practicable give the ASX and RedHill a notice that states that the particular
Condition has been satisfied.
As of the day prior to �he da�e �f �hi� Ta�ge��� S�a�eme��, UCW had not given
notice that any of the Conditions have been satisfied or waived.
Withdrawal of Offer UCW may withdraw its Offer at any time but only in limited circumstances with

RedHill operates a performance rights plan as part of its remuneration strategy for executives and employees, being the RedHill Rights Plan.

The objective of the RedHill Rights Plan is to reward employees through aligning this element of remuneration with accretion in long-term shareholder wealth.

Under the RedHill Rights Plan, senior executives and other employees may receive the issue of rights to acquire RedHill Shares where certain performance hurdles determined by the Board are satisfied including RedHill Performance Rights ( PR ) and RedHill Performance Share Appreciation Rights ( PSAR ). Each PR entitles the holder to one share on vesting and exercise. There is no exercise price pertaining to the PRs, although the PSARs have a notional exercise price which does not have to be paid but which is accounted for as part of the exercised rights value determined during settlement of exercised rights.

7. Profile of RedHill

7.1 Introduction

RedHill was incorporated in 30 May 2006 and listed on the ASX in 17 September 2010.

RedHill currently has approximately 486 Shareholders.

7.2 Operations

RedHill operates a number of specialist businesses in the private tertiary education market in Australia. RedHill operates from three cam��� l�ca�i��� i� S�d�e��� CBD, a�d ��e�ed i�� ��b��a��ial Melbourne CBD campus in September 2015. It delivers international student agency services and vocational and higher education courses in English language, creative digital technologies, managerial, marketing, computer coding and interior design to over 20,000 domestic and international students each year.

(a) Online Course Delivery

RedHill has fast-tracked its development of learning materials suitable for online course delivery and has increased the proportion of courses which it delivers online.

Your Directors expect that there will be an online delivery component for most of RedHill's existing and new courses in the future, and that revenues generated from courses delivered 100% online will increase over time.

  • (b) Greenwich Online Academy

In May 2020 RedHill launched 'Greenwich Online Academy', to deliver 100% online programmes to international students which complement existing English language and vocational courses delivered by Greenwich English College and Greenwich Management College.

Greenwich Online Academy programmes have been developed with the intention that they are marketed to international students so that they may:

  • (i) commence their studies at Greenwich before they travel to Australia and have certain learning outcomes recognised toward their qualification once they arrive in Australia and complete their chosen course;

  • (ii) undertake online studies while in quarantine when they arrive into Australia (if a period of quarantine is required); and

  • (iii) engage with other students and teachers online to help them feel part of a learning community before they arrive into Australia.

(c) Marketing focus on domestic and onshore international students

With international borders closed and travel restrictions in place, RedHill is currently focusing its marketing effort towards domestic students and international students who are located in Australia and are seeking to undertake accredited higher education and vocational courses offered by RedHill.

After international borders re-open and international flights resume, RedHill will increase its marketing efforts towards international students who have not yet arrived into Australia.

(d) Overheads management

RedHill implemented a range of cost reduction activities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These measures included:

  • (i) standing down approximately 67% of the non-teaching workforce;

  • (ii) non-executive director fees were forfeited in Q4 of FY2020;

  • (iii) reductions in discretionary costs such as marketing expenditure, travel and general office expenses;

  • (iv) temporarily shutting most overseas offices;

36

  • (v) negotiating rental relief with some landlords; and

  • (vi) pausing of non-essential capital expenditure, including the launch of a proposed Brisbane campus.

(e) Melbourne campus operations

RedHill launched its Melbourne campus in September 2015; doubled its size in January 2017; and expanded it by a further 50% in July 2018. At that time the Melbourne campus was approximately 4,800m[2 ] in size and had been fitted-out with 58 classrooms.

Due to strong expected growth in student numbers at that time, the Melbourne campus was expanded by a further 19 classrooms in H2 of FY20. A lease commenced over the additional campus space in January 2020 and the additional classrooms were ready for use in March 2020 after completing a quality fit-out.

RedHill's Melbourne campus operations have been significantly impacted by lockdown measures implemented by the Victorian State Government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and by the international travel bans preventing new international students from travelling to Australia. The Melbourne campus is currently partially closed and some classes are continuing to be delivered fully or partially online.

(f) Interests in tertiary education in Australia

RedHill's directors expect the private tertiary education sector in Australia to be resilient. The Australia Government has identified the resumption of international student arrivals as part of its 'Roadmap to a COVIDSafe Australia' and RedHill has advised government and regulatory bodies on its desire to participate in pilot programs to demonstrate that international students can be brought into Australia in a safe and supported manner.

RedHill continues to receive interest from prospective international students who are not yet in Australia and has a growing pipeline of enrolment applications from people in its key target markets who have indicated their intention to travel to Australia and undertake tertiary studies when COVID-19 pandemic conditions improve and commercial flights resume.

Key risks faced by RedHill

Set out below is a summary of the key risks to which RedHill Shareholders will continue to be exposed if they reject the Offer and retain their current investment in RedHill Shares. The risks identified in this Section are not an exhaustive list of all of the risks relevant to RedHill. No assurances or guarantees are given as to RedHill�� f����e �e�f��ma�ce, ���fi�abili�� �� di�ide�d payments.

RedHill specific risks
International disruption
and the impact of the
coronavirus (COVID-19)
pandemic
A la�ge �������i�� �f RedHill�� ��e�a�i��al a�d fi�a�cial �e�f��ma�ce i� de�e�de��
upon, and will continue to be impacted by, the demand for providing services and
courses to international students undertaking studies in Australia. A range of
possible disruptive circumstances or events (for example, outbreak of disease,
political unrest and tensions, restrictions on movements between countries and
negative international relations) may reduce the appeal of Australia as a study
destination and may result in a decline in the demand from international students
�eeki�g �� ���d� i� A����alia f��m RedHill�� ����ce ma�ke��.
Any present or future circumstances which reduce the attractiveness of Australia
a� a ���d� de��i�a�i�� ma� ha�e a ma�e�ial ad�e��e im�ac� �� RedHill�� fi�a�cial
position and performance.
The circumstances relating to COVID-19 have resulted in domestic and
international governments and regulatory authorities implementing and enforcing
formal travel bans, lockdowns, quarantines, and social-distancing requirements
�hich a�e c�m�le�el� ��� �f RedHill�� c�����l. The�e ac�i��� a�d ��he� COVID-19
�a�demic im�lica�i��� a�e ha�i�g a ma�e�ial ad�e��e effec� �� RedHill��
operations and performance.
There is continued uncertainty as to the duration and further impact of COVID-19
including (but not limited to) in relation to government policy, legislation, regulatory
or health authority actions, work stoppages, lockdowns, quarantines, travel
restrictions, social instability and the impact on global economies. There is no
ce��ai��� �ha� dema�d f�� RedHill�� �e��ice� �� c����e� �ill ���mali�e �� a le�el
that existed prior to the impact of COVID-19, or how long a process of
normalisation could take, even after the lifting of travel restrictions.
While RedHill expects it will have sufficient liquidity to deal with the circumstances
relating to COVID-19, there is a risk that if the duration of events surrounding
COVID-19 are prolonged, RedHill may need to take additional measures in order
to respond appropriately.
There are other changes in the domestic and global economic outlook associated
with the events relating to COVID-19 that are beyond the control of RedHill and
ma� affec� RedHill�s financial position and performance. These include (but are not
limited to) changes in inflation rates, interest rates, foreign currency exchange
rates, employment rates, labour costs, international travel costs, and changes in
general economic conditions (for example, an economic recession or downturn).
RedHill has already taken decisive steps in an effort to mitigate the impact of
COVID-19, including but not limited to revoking its FY20 interim dividend,
migrating all courses to 100% online delivery, standing down a large portion of the
workforce, suspending non-executive director fees for Q4 of FY20, pausing of
major capital expenditure, freezing of non-essential operating expenses, and
accessing available government relief funding (including the Australian Federal
Government's 'JobKeeper' scheme). Having already taken these measures,
RedHill has more limited options available to it to further reduce costs should
domestic and global economic conditions not improve.
Competition RedHill operates in highly competitive markets across its geographies,
addressable markets, products and services. If the actions of competitors or
potential competitors become more effective, or if new competitors enter the
market and RedHill is unable to appropriately respond to or counter these actions,
RedHill�� fi�a�cial �e�f��ma�ce c��ld be ad�e��el� affec�ed �� RedHill ma� be
unable to compete successfully.
An increase in competition in the markets in which RedHill operates could result in
RedHill needing to increase its marketing and/or capital expenditure, reduce its
tuition and service fees, revise its business strategy or alter other aspects of its
business model to remain competitive. All of these factors could have a material
ad�e��e effec� �� RedHill�� fi�a�cial �osition and performance.
Reliance on third party
agents

�h� ����ide ���de�� �ec��i�me�� �e��ice� i��� RedHill�� E�gli�h la�g�age,
vocational and higher education courses and programmes. All of these
relationships are non-exclusive and can be renegotiated or terminated at short
notice. RedHill seeks to mitigate risk by having a diverse network of international
student agents representing a wide range of international student nationalities, so
as to reduce the reliance on any particular agent or student nationality. RedHill
also owns Go Study agency business.
Third party international student agents often collect fees from students which are
required to be passed onto RedHill at the time that students undertake their

39

studies, and there is a risk (particularly if an agent is facing financial distress,
including as a result of COVID-19) that one or more of these agents fails to pay
RedHill when payment is due, seeks to renegotiate or terminate its relationship
with RedHill, does not provide a level of service consistent with that expected and
required by RedHill, contravenes or is alleged to have contravened laws or
regulations, incurs fines or penalties, or undertakes actions that cause other
�ega�i�e im�ac�� �� RedHill. A�� �f �he�e ma��e�� c��ld ad�e��el� affec� RedHill��

and financial performance of RedHill.
Regulatory

The education industry in Australia is highly regulated. RedHill holds various
tertiary education registrations and accreditations which are governed by
legislation and standards authorities in Australia. Future changes to

Australian Government assistance for financing of their tertiary studies under the
Higher Education Loan Program (HELP). RedHill is accredited to offer FEE-HELP
to eligible domestic students undertaking higher education courses, and VET
Student Loans to eligible domestic students undertaking certain vocational
courses. Future changes to HELP legislation or regulations, or an inability by
RedHill to retain or renew HELP accreditations, could have a material and adverse
im�ac� �� RedHill�� fi�a�cial ���i�i�� a�d �e�f��ma�ce.
The commonwealth, state and territory governments in Australia provide various
forms of direct and indirect funding to certain tertiary education organisations and
for certain courses and qualifications. Future changes by commonwealth, state or
territory government to direct and indirect funding arrangements could directly

illness. Remote working arrangements to meet social distancing or quarantine
requirements during the COVID-19 outbreak may have a material and adverse
im�ac� �� RedHill�� fi�a�cial ���i�i�� a�d �e�f��ma�ce.
Service delivery quality
and student
satisfaction
RedHill delivers its courses and services in purpose built quality campuses and
online, and engages experienced teachers and trainers to deliver its internally
developed learning materials. Student surveys are regularly undertaken to
measure satisfaction levels in a broad range of aspects of their study experience,
and findings from these surveys are used to provide performance feedback to
employees and to identify continuous improvement activities. RedHill also invests
in providing other support services to students including assistance with internship
placements, hosting of industry events and holding of events and exhibitions to
showcase student works. Any factors or actions which undermine the service

40

delivery quality and student satisfaction could have a material and adverse impact
�� RedHill�� fi�a�cial ���i�i�� a�d �e�f��ma�ce.
Inability to execute
business strategy
RedHill may fail to implement or achieve its strategic objectives due to a range of
factors, including management not prioritising delivery of the key initiatives,
changes to the competitive environment that result in a change to the underlying
assumptions of the strategy, poor cost management, loss of key employees,
failure to effectively execute a project, or adverse economic shocks and
uncertainty.
As part of its strategy, RedHill may undertake acquisitions or divestments from
time to time, or invest capital into new projects or initiatives, including possible
campus footprint expansions. While RedHill is focused on maintaining a
disciplined approach to its capital expenditure, such actions could result in a
variability of earnings over time, which may have a material and adverse impact
�� RedHill�� fi�a�cial ���i�i�� a�d �e�f��ma�ce.
Recruiting international
students for other
education
organisations
RedHill�� b��iness includes agreements to recruit students to be enrolled into
other third party education organisations. These agreements are non-exclusive
with no fixed term and can generally be terminated on short notice.
There is a risk (particularly to the extent that the other education organisations are
facing financial distress, including as a result of COVID-19) that the other
education organisation could fail to pay RedHill when payments are due, terminate
or vary the terms of the agreements, enter into relati���hi�� �i�h a�� �f RedHill��
competitors, or undertake recruitment activities in their own right. Any of these

position and performance.
Industry and brand
reputation
The success of RedHill is dependent on its industry and brand reputation.
Maintaining a good reputation will assist RedHill to maintain its market position, its
registrations and accreditations, its relationship with international student agents
and other service providers, its relationship with client education organisations, its
ability to attract and retain capable employees, and its ability to attract students.
A�� fac���� �� ac�i��� �hich ��de�mi�e �he ���e�g�h �f RedHill�� i�d����� a�d
b�a�d �e���a�i�� c��ld ha�e a ma�e�ial a�d ad�e��e im�ac� �� RedHill�� fi�a�cial
position and performance.
Allegations of wrongdoing on the part of RedHill or any other tertiary education
organisation, could attract negative media coverage or Australian regulatory
authority scrutiny which focuses not only on the individual education organisation
in question but on the tertiary education sector as a whole. Any factors which
result in negative media coverage or Australian regulatory authority scrutiny
towards RedHill or the tertiary education sector could have a material and adverse
im�ac� �� RedHill�� fi�a�cial position and performance.
Leased premises RedHill does not own any properties for the purpose of its operations, but instead
enters into commercial leasing agreements for suitable premises. There is a risk
that RedHill may not be able to retain existing leased premises on favourable
commercial terms, or secure suitable new leased premises on favourable
commercial leasing terms to meeting the operating needs and growth aspirations
of the business. Failure to enter into commercial leasing agreements on
fa����able �e�m� c��ld ha�e a ma�e�ial a�d ad�e��e im�ac� �� RedHill�� fi�a�cial
position and performance.
Impairment of
intangibles
RedHill�� i��a�gible a��e�� c�m��i�e �f �igh� �f ��e a��e��, g��d�ill, a�d
copyrights.
Intangible assets are assessed for impairment on an annual basis, or more
frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment might
be required. There is a risk that changes in circumstances may require an
impairment charge which could have a material and adve��e im�ac� �� RedHill��
financial position and performance. This risk has been reduced as RedHill
impaired certain right of use assets, goodwill and copyrights as a result of the
impacts of COVID-19 in FY20.

41

Technology platforms
may be disrupted, fail
or be insufficient
RedHill relies on third party software products and services from a number of
different providers to enable internal data management and reporting and the
delivery of services to students. Although RedHill has back-up and recovery
procedures in place, any significant interruption to its technology systems or a
major loss of data could impair the ability of RedHill to continue to provide its
services.
Technology licences may be terminated or not renewed, or the technology
suppliers may be subject to events, such as insolvency or technical failures,
leading to temporary or permanent loss of services and failure to complete
developments or upgrades when anticipated.
If a�� �f RedHill�� �hi�d �a��� ����ided �ech��l�g� �la�f��ms prove to be insufficient
for its needs, or are disrupted or fail, this could adversely affect operations and
require that RedHill outlays additional capital to improve, replace or fix the
platforms. This investment could have a material and adverse impac� �� RedHill��
financial position and performance.
Protection and security
of personal information
and data
In order to conduct its operations, RedHill collects a wide range of personal and
financial data from its students. This information includes, but is not limited to,
students' personal address and contact details, copies of passports and visas, and
ba�ki�g de�ail�. RedHill�� eff���� �� ����ec� ��ch i�f��ma�i�� ma� be ����cce��f�l
due to potential cyber-attacks, software bugs, technical malfunctions, employee
error or other factors.
Allegations of, or actual, unauthorised access or loss of such sensitive data could
�cc��, �e��l�i�g i� a b�each �f RedHill�� �bliga�i��� ��de� a��licable la�� ��
regulations, and legal or regulatory action against RedHill could be initiated in
connection with any such breaches. In addition, the breach could impact student
�a�i�fac�i�� a�d c��fide�ce i� RedHill�� �ec��i�� a��a�geme���. A�� ��ch
allegations or breaches of laws or regulations could have a material and adverse
im�ac� �� RedHill�� �e���a�i��, fi�a�cial ���i�i�� a�d �e�f��ma�ce.
Overseas operations RedHill operates in several overseas jurisdictions, which may change over time. It
is required to comply with all applicable overseas laws and regulatory regimes,
and future changes or non-compliances with these laws and regulations could
ha�e a ma�e�ial a�d ad�e��e im�ac� �� RedHill�� fi�a�cial ���i�i�� a�d
performance. In addition, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic may be different
in each jurisdiction which may result in the impacts taking longer to resolve in
some of RedHill's operations.
Protection of
intellectual property
RedHill relies on laws relating to trade secrets, copyright and trademarks to assist
with protecting its proprietary rights. However, there is a risk that unauthorised use
of its intellectual property could occur. In addition, there is a risk that the validity,
ownership or authorised use of intellectual property relevant to the business could
be successfully challenged by third parties. This could involve significant expense
and potentially result in RedHill being unable to use the intellectual property in
question. Such an outcome could potentially have a material and adverse impact
�� RedHill�� fi�a�cial ���i�i�� a�d �e�f��ma�ce.
Ability to access capital
or debt markets on
favourable terms
If RedHill requires access to funding at any stage in the future, it may be adversely
affected in a material way if, for any reason, access to that funding is not available.
RedHill may seek capital funding or debt funding in the future. If RedHill is unable
to access capital, or to obtain, renew, refinance, or repay any debt facilities on
favourable terms within an acceptable time, it could have a material and adverse
im�ac� �� RedHill�� fi�ancial position and performance.
There can be no assurance that additional funding will become available.
Developments in global financial markets, such as the volatile and uncertain
impact of COVID-19, may adversely affect the liquidity of domestic and global
c�edi� ma�ke�� a�d RedHill�� abili�� �� acce�� �h��e ma�ke��.
If funds are raised by issuing new equity securities in RedHill, it may result in
dilution to the current shareholders of RedHill at that time.
Risk of litigation,
claims and disputes
RedHill may be subject to litigation, claims and disputes in the course of its
business, including employment disputes, contractual disputes, indemnity claims,
and occupational and personal claims. Any such matters could involve
prosecution, defence, and settlement costs, and consume management time in
the dealing with any such litigation, claims and disputes. Any litigations, claims

Maintenance of
adequate insurance
cover
RedHill maintains adequate insurance cover that is consistent with prudent
b��i�e�� ��ac�ice, i�cl�di�g ���ke��� c�m�e��a�i��, di�ec���� a�d �ffice��, ��a�el,
public liability, property damage, business interruption, and other risks that may
arise in the course of its operations. However, no assurance can be given that
such insurance will be available in the future on commercially reasonable terms or

Currency fluctuations RedHill invoices for all of its courses and services in Australian dollars, meaning
international currency fluctuations (including in connection with COVID-19) may
affect the cost of courses for international students, and also may affect their cost
of living while studying in Australia. Some international students will be price
sensitive, and may choose not to travel to Australia to study or will travel to a
different country if course or living costs increase as a result from any appreciation
of the Australian dollar relative to other countries which are sources of students.
As such, any appreciation of the Australian dollar relative to source markets may

events and hostilities, acts of terrorism, state of emergency declarations,
outbreaks of pandemics, outbreaks of war, and investor perceptions. These
factors may cause RedHill shares to trade at a lower price than they are currently.
General economic
conditions
The trading price of RedHill shares may be adversely impacted by various factors,
including new or changed governmental measures, business closures, lockdowns,
quarantines, travel and other restrictions and resultant impacts on economies and
financial markets. The historic share price performance of RedHill provides no
guidance as to its future share price performance.

at historical levels.
Liquidity risk RedHill is a listed entity. Therefore, the ability to sell RedHill shares will be a
function of the turnover of the RedHill shares at the time of sale. Turnover itself is
a function of the size of RedHill and also the cumulative investment intentions of
all current and possible investors in RedHill at any one point in time.
Accounting standards

Exposure to changes in
tax rules or their
interpretation
Changes may occur in the future to Australian taxation law, including changes in
interpretation or application of the law by the courts or taxation authorities in
Australia in relation to equity investments. In particular, both the level and basis of
taxation of an investment in RedHill Shares may change. An investment in RedHill
Shares involves tax considerations which may differ for each investor. Investors
are encouraged to seek professional tax advice in connection with any investment
in RedHill.

43

Regulatory risk RedHill is subject to a range of regulatory controls imposed by government
(federal and state) and regulatory authorities (for example, ASX and ASIC). The
relevant regulatory regimes are complex and are subject to change over time
depending on changes in the laws and the policies of the governments and
regulatory authorities.
RedHill is exposed to the risk of changes to the applicable laws and/or the
interpretation of existing laws which may have a negative effect on RedHill and/or
returns to RedHill Shareholders or the risks associated with non-compliance with
these laws (including reporting or other legal obligations). Non-compliance may
result in financial penalties being levied against RedHill.
Forward looking
statements
Certain statements in this Target's Statement are made as forward looking
statements. These statements are predictions only and are subject to inherent
risks and uncertainties. These uncertainties and risks relate to factors specific to
RedHill as well as broader economic conditions both domestically and
internationally. Actual outcomes of events or results may differ materially from the
forward looking statements expressed or implied in this Target's Statement.
Speculative nature of
investments
The above list of risk factors ought not to 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 RedHill Shares. Therefore, RedHill
Shares carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of
capital or the market value of RedHill Shares.

8. Taxation consequences

H"! ':3;+</:-;#

This Section provides a summary of the Australian income tax, goods and services tax ( GST ) and stamp duty implications for RedHill Shareholders on disposing of their RedHill Shares (through acceptance of the Offer or having them compulsorily acquired by UCW) in return for UCW shares.

This Section is relevant for Australian resident and foreign resident RedHill Shareholders that hold their RedHill Shares on capital account. This Section does not consider the Australian tax consequences for RedHill Shareholders:

who hold their RedHill Shares as trading stock or as revenue assets;

  • who hold their RedHill Shares as assets used in carrying on a business or as part of a profitmaking undertaking or scheme;

  • who acquired their RedHill Shares through an employee share, option or rights scheme;

  • who are taken for capital gains tax purposes to have acquired their RedHill Shares before 20 September 1985;

  • who are Australian tax residents but who hold their RedHill Shares as part of an enterprise carried on, at or through a permanent establishment in a foreign country;

  • who are foreign resident shareholders who hold their RedHill Shares in carrying on a business through a permanent establishment in Australia;

  • that are financial institutions, insurance companies, partnerships, tax exempt organisations, trusts (except where expressly stated), superannuation funds (except where expressly stated) or temporary residents; or

  • who are subject to the taxation of financial arrangements rules in Division 230 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) in relation to gains and losses on their RedHill Shares.

The information in this Section is based on the Australian taxation law and practice in effect as at the da�e �f �hi� Ta�ge��� S�a�eme��. It is not intended to be an authoritative or complete statement or analysis of the taxation laws applicable to the particular circumstances of every RedHill Shareholder.

RedHill Shareholders should seek independent professional advice regarding the taxation consequences of accepting the Offer and disposing of their RedHill Shares. RedHill Shareholders who are tax residents of a country other than Australia (whether or not they are also residents or temporary residents of Australia for tax purposes) should also take into account the tax consequences under the laws of their country of residence.

The below is a summary of the income tax consequences relevant for Australian resident RedHill Shareholders who dispose of their RedHill Shares (through acceptance of the Offer or having them compulsorily acquired by UCW).

!"#$%&&'()+"),&#"+-'.),'//"01'1)"'233"+'

RedHill Shareholders who accept the Offer will dispose of their RedHill Shares by way of transfer to UCW in exchange for UCW Shares. The disposal of RedHill Shares to UCW under the Offer will constitute a capital gains tax ( CGT ) event for RedHill Shareholders. The CGT event will happen at the time RedHill Shareholders accept the Offer.

4,506&-,+7'*/86%-%1%,9'

If a RedHill Shareholder does not accept the Offer and their RedHill Shares are compulsorily acquired by UCW, the RedHill Shareholder will be treated as having disposed of their RedHill Shares for CGT purposes at the time at which the RedHill Shares are acquired by UCW.

45

4&/6&1%,9',3'/0%1&':%9',+'/0%1*&'&,--'

Subject to the availability of roll over relief discussed below, RedHill Shareholders will:

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

make a capital gain if the capital proceeds received on the disposal of their RedHill Shares are more than the cost base of those RedHill Shares; or

make a capital loss if the capital proceeds received on the disposal of their RedHill Shares are less than the reduced cost base of those RedHill Shares.

The capital proceeds received by a RedHill Shareholder that accepts the Offer (or has their RedHill Shares compulsorily acquired by UCW) will be equal to the market value of the UCW Shares issued in exchange for the RedHill Shares acquired, which should be equal to the Implied Offer Value.

The cost base of RedHill Shares in the hands of the RedHill Shareholders will be broadly the sum of the original amount paid to acquire their RedHill Shares, any non-deductible incidental costs associated with the acquisition of the RedHill Shares and any non-deductible incidental costs associated with the disposal of the RedHill Shares to UCW.

The reduced cost base of the RedHill Shares is determined in a similar manner.

RedHill Shareholders may be entitled to reduce any capital gain on the disposal of their RedHill Shares by applying the CGT discount (discussed below).

4;<'=%-/,691'

The CGT discount should be available to RedHill Shareholders who are individuals, trusts or complying superannuation funds and have held their RedHill Shares for at least 12 months before the time of the CGT event resulting in the disposal of the RedHill Shares by accepting the Offer (or having their RedHill Shares compulsorily acquired).

Broadly, the CGT discount rules enable the RedHill Shareholders to reduce their capital gain (after the application of any current year or prior year capital losses) by 50% for individuals and trusts and 33 1/3% for complying superannuation funds.

The CGT discount is not available to RedHill Shareholders that are companies.

The application of the CGT discount rules to a RedHill Shareholder that is a trustee of a trust is complex, particularly where distributions to beneficiaries of the trust are attributable to discounted ca�i�al gai��. The �l�ima�e acce�� �� �he CGT di�c���� ma� de�e�d �� a be�eficia���� e��i�leme�� to the CGT discount amount under the terms of the relevant trust deed. RedHill Shareholders that are trustees of trusts should obtain specific tax advice.

>"1'/0%1&':*%9-',+'&,--"-'

If a RedHill Shareholder makes a capital gain from the disposal of their RedHill Shares, that capital gain will be combined with any other capital gains that the RedHill Shareholder has made for the same income year. Any available capital losses will then be applied against the total capital gains made for that income year, following which the CGT discount (if available) is applied to any remaining discount capital gains. A resulting net capital gain will be included in the RedHill Sha�eh�lde��� a��e��able i�c�me f�� �he i�c�me �ea�.

A resulting net capital loss cannot be deducted against other income for income tax purposes, but may be carried forward to offset capital gains made in future income years (before taking into account the CGT discount, if available). Specific loss recoupment rules apply to companies to restrict their ability to utilise capital losses in future years in some circumstances. RedHill Shareholders should seek their own tax advice in relation to the operation of these rules.

4;<'+,&&',?"+'+"&%"3'

RedHill Shareholders who accept the Offer or have their RedHill Shares compulsorily acquired and make a capital gain may be eligible to elect that CGT 'scrip for scrip' roll over relief applies provided UCW becomes the owner of 80% or more of the RedHill Shares and the relevant choices are made by RedHill and, if necessary, by UCW. It is expected that the other conditions to obtain roll over relief should be satisfied by the arrangement.

If UCW is not successful in acquiring 80% of the voting shares in RedHill, the roll over will not be available to any of the RedHill Shareholders ( 80% Rule ) and those RedHill Shareholders will be assessed on any capital gain that arises, even though the RedHill Shareholder will not receive any cash from the exchange of their RedHill Shares for replacement UCW Shares.

46

Where it is necessary for UCW to make a joint election with RedHill Shareholders for roll over relief to occur, UCW would need to make the required joint election provided that the relevant RedHill Shareholder provides UCW information in relation to its cost base in the RedHill Shares (as UCW will require this information for the purposes of attending to its own tax obligations). UCW would also need to not make any choice or election that would prevent RedHill Shareholders from benefitting from rollover relief where available.

The consequences of choosing roll over relief for the RedHill Shareholders are as follows:

  • (a) any capital gain in respect of the disposal of the RedHill Shares will be disregarded; and

  • (b) the realisation of any capital gain will be deferred until a CGT event takes place in respect of the replacement UCW Shares.

A RedHill Shareholder who chooses roll over relief will be taken to have acquired their replacement UCW Shares at the time they acquired their original RedHill Shares. This is relevant to determine if the CGT discount rules apply on a future disposal of the replacement UCW Shares.

If a roll over is available and chosen, the existing cost base of a RedHill Shareholder in their RedHill Shares is allocated pro-rata to the replacement UCW Shares and will be used to determine any future CGT implications in relation to the replacement UCW Shares.

Generally, a RedHill Shareholder who is a foreign resident for Australian income tax purposes and who does not carry on business in Australia at or through a permanent establishment should be exempt from CGT on the disposal of their RedHill Shares, unless, broadly:

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • the foreign resident RedHill Shareholder (together with its associates) holds 10% or more of the issued shares in RedHill at the time of the CGT event resulting from the disposal of the RedHill Shares or for any continuous twelve month period within two years preceding the time of the CGT event ( non-portfolio interest ); and

  • more than 50% of the market value of RedHill is represented by direct or indirect interests in Australian real property (broadly, land situated in Australia and mining rights in respect of certain resources located in Australia) ( principal asset test ),

(collectively, the TARP Test ).

The RedHill Board is currently of the view that the RedHill Shares do not satisfy the TARP Test as not more than 50% of the market value of RedHill is represented by direct or indirect interests in Australian real property (that is, the principal asset test limb of the TARP Test is not satisfied).

Nevertheless, RedHill recommends that foreign resident RedHill Shareholders seek their own advice on the Australian CGT implications of a disposal of their RedHill Shares, particularly if they (together with their associates) hold a non-portfolio interest.

Foreign resident RedHill Shareholders who are subject to CGT on the disposal of their RedHill Shares will not be entitled to the CGT discount in relation to that portion of the capital gain which relates to the period after 8 May 2012.

Foreign resident RedHill Shareholders should note that the Australian tax consequences from the disposal of RedHill Shares may be affected by any double tax agreement between Australia and their country of residence. Foreign resident RedHill Shareholders should obtain specific tax advice, including in their country of residence.

4;<'+,&&',?"+'+"&%"3'

CGT roll over relief will only be relevant and available to foreign resident RedHill Shareholders where both the RedHill Shares and the UCW Shares satisfy the TARP Test. The 80% Rule discussed above, as well as the other conditions to obtain roll over relief, will also apply to foreign resident RedHill Shareholders.

H"7 D;32-=#32.-+2:#(YR#B)K12*:#3<02.##

In respect of certain types of transactions entered into on or after 1 July 2016, and subject to certain exceptions, bidders in an off-market takeover are required to pay an amount equal to 12.5% of the offer consideration to the ATO (broadly referred to as the foreign resident CGT payment rules).

47

UCW has this obligation if the RedHill Shares acquired from a RedHill Shareholder satisfy the TARP Test and other conditions exist.

RedHill currently believes that the RedHill Shares do not satisfy the TARP Test. As such, RedHill currently does not expect that UCW should be required to pay any amount as a result of the proposed transaction.

Nevertheless, RedHill Shareholders should obtain independent tax advice as to the potential implications to them of the foreign resident CGT payment rules, noting that UCW would need to fund the relevant cash payment as the consideration is entirely comprised of UCW Shares (and there is no cash component from which a withholding could be made).

8.5

Stamp duty

No Australian stamp duty will be payable by a RedHill Shareholder on the transfer of their RedHill Shares or the acquisition of the UCW Shares under the Offer.

8.6 GST

The disposal of RedHill Shares or acquisition of UCW Shares by a RedHill Shareholder pursuant to the Offer should not be subject to GST, either as an input taxed financial supply, or an out-of-scope supply (depending on the circumstances of the RedHill Shareholder).

RedHill Shareholders may be charged GST on costs (such as brokerage and advisor fees) that relate to their participation in the Offer. RedHill Shareholders may not be entitled to claim full input tax credits for the GST included in such costs that relate to the disposal of their RedHill Shares or acquisition of UCW Shares. RedHill Shareholders should seek independent advice in relation to the impact of GST in their individual circumstances.

The Offer will result in RedHill incurring expenses that would not otherwise have arisen in 2020 and 2021. These include legal, financial and other expenses from advisers engaged by RedHill to assist in responding to the Offer. The total cost of the takeover response depends on the outcome of the Offer, the duration of the Offer and required response activities, as well as the complexity of the issues addressed in the response. Therefore, it is difficult to estimate the likely total cost to RedHill. These defence costs will be reflected in RedHill�� fi�a�cial �e��l�� f�� �he fi�a�cial �ea� e�di�g 30 June 2021.
