CHAIRMAN’S LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholder

An Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders is scheduled for 9:00am AWST on 19 April 2021.

Purpose of meeting

As announced to the market on 11 March 2021 and 18 March 2021, the Company is pleased to provide this Notice of Meeting of Vortiv, which provides the opportunity for Shareholders to vote on an important resolution, being the return of capital to Shareholders, now totalling of $14.05 million.

Background

As announced to the market on 11 March 2021 and updated by further announcement on 18 March 2021, the Board has decided, following successful sale of its main undertaking, to return value to Shareholders by way of a Dividend and a capital reduction. The former will see Shareholders receive $7.8 million, by way of a fully franked dividend, equating to a return of 5.55 cents per Share held by Shareholders. The latter, subject to shareholder approval, will see an additional $14.05 million distributed to Shareholders, equating to a return of 10.00 cents per Share held on the Record Date.

Your Board has worked tirelessly and diligently in seeking to maximise value for all Shareholders, which has resulted in:

  • the sale of the cyber security business for $25 million, representing a 10x EBITDA multiple;

  • the proposed return of $24.5 million of value to Shareholders (after transaction costs and corporate income taxes), comprising:

  • $7.8 million in fully franked dividends;

  • $2.6 million in franking credits;

  • $14.1 million in capital return;

  • retention of circa ~$0.75 to $0.8 million in cash for going concern purposes;

  • continued potential upside upon realisation of your company’s 25% share in TSI India.

This represents an excellent result for Shareholders and sees almost the entirety of proceeds (after accounting for costs and tax) from the sale of the cyber security business being distributed back to Shareholders.

The foregoing capital return structure has been finalised following the Board’s ongoing engagement with Shareholders, its advisors and discussions with the Australian Taxation Office.

The Board considers that the current structure for the return of capital is in the best interests of Shareholders because, among other things, it achieves:

  • equal treatment for all Shareholders;

  • an efficient timeframe in returning funds to Shareholders; and

  • the mandate from Shareholders to return funds to them in a tax, and cost, effective manner.

Recommendation

For the reasons outlined in this Notice of Meeting the Board recommends you to vote in favour of the resolution in this Notice of Meeting. This may also represent the last opportunity Shareholders will be afforded to vote on a return of capital – where the Board is subject to change at the upcoming meeting convened under s249D of the Corporations Act, no guarantee or assurance exists that such new Board would continue to pursue a return of capital.

Should you wish to discuss the matters in this Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting please do not hesitate to contact Phillip MacLeod, Company Secretary, on +61 8 6444 1798 or via email at [email protected].

Yours faithfully

Howard Digby Chairman

TIME AND PLACE OF MEETING AND HOW TO VOTE

DATE

The Extraordinary General Meeting of the Shareholders to which this Notice of Meeting relates will be held at 9:00am (AWST) on 19 April 2021.

VENUE

The Extraordinary General Meeting will be held at The Celtic Club, 48 Ord Street, West Perth Western Australia 6005.

ENTITLEMENT TO ATTEND AND VOTE

You will be entitled to attend and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting if you are registered as a Shareholder of the Company as at 4:00 pm (AWST) on 17 April 2021. This is because, in accordance with the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth), the Board has determined that the Shares on issue at that time will be taken, for the purposes of determining voting entitlements at the Extraordinary General Meeting, to be held by the persons registered as holding the Shares at that time. Accordingly, transactions registered after that time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT

The business of the Extraordinary General Meeting affects your Shareholding and your vote is important.

HOW TO VOTE

Voting in person

Shareholders who plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting are asked to arrive at the venue 15 minutes prior to the time designated for the Extraordinary General Meeting if possible, so that their holding may be checked against the Company’s register of members and attendances recorded.

Corporate representatives

A body corporate, which is a Shareholder or which has been appointed as a proxy, may appoint an individual to act as its corporate representative at the Extraordinary General Meeting in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act. The appropriate appointment document must be produced prior to admission. A form of the certificate can be obtained from the Company’s registered office.

Voting by proxy

A Shareholder who is entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting may appoint a proxy. A proxy need not be a Shareholder and may be an individual or body corporate. If a body corporate is appointed as a proxy it must appoint a corporate representative in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act to exercise its powers as proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting (see above).

A Shareholder who is entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting and vote on their behalf and may specify the proportion or a number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’s votes each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half of the votes (disregarding fractions). If you wish to appoint a second proxy, you may copy the enclosed proxy form or obtain a form from the Company’s registered office.

To be effective for the scheduled meeting a proxy appointment (and any power of attorney or other authority under which it is signed or otherwise authenticated, or a certified copy of that authority) must be received by the Company’s share registry no later than 9:00 am (AWST) on 17 April 2021 , being 48 hours before the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Chairman as proxy

If you appoint a proxy, the Company encourages you to consider directing them how to vote by marking the appropriate box for the proposed Resolution.

If a Shareholder entitled to vote on a Resolution appoints the Chairman of the General Meeting as their proxy (or the Chairman becomes their proxy by default) and the Shareholder does not direct the Chairman how to vote on the Resolution the Chairman intends to vote in favour of each proposed Resolution as proxy for that Shareholder on a poll.

If you do not want to put the Chairman in the position to cast your votes in favour of any of the proposed Resolutions, you should complete the appropriate box on the Proxy Form, directing your proxy how you wish for it to vote, or to abstain from voting, on the Resolution.

1. RESOLUTION 1: EQUAL CAPITAL REDUCTION

  • 1.1 Background

Sale of undertaking

The Company held a general meeting on 11 December 2020 seeking Shareholder approval (pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 11.2) for the Company to dispose of its main undertaking in its cybersecurity assets, comprising Decipher Works Pty Ltd and Cloudten Industries Pty Ltd ( Business ), for cash consideration of A$25,000,000 to Cyber CX Pty Ltd.

Completion of the sale was announced to the market on 16 December 2020

Capital Return

The current Board has always been focused on ensuring Shareholder value is maximised and has been transparent in its intentions to return capital to Shareholders.

As announced on 11 March 2021 and updated by further announcement on 18 March 2021, the Board declared a dividend of $7.8 million (5.55 cents per Share) ( Dividend ), and intends, subject to Shareholder approval under this Notice, to further return capital by way of an equal capital reduction which will see a further $14.05 million (10.0 cents per Share) returned to Shareholders.

In reaching the conclusion that the current structure for the return of capital is in the best interest of Shareholders, the Company (among other things) considered:

  • equal treatment for all shareholders and ensuring no single substantial shareholder could implement a scheme most advantageous to them if it took control of the Board;

  • the most efficient timeframe for receipt of capital by Shareholders;

  • the likelihood of Shareholder approval depending upon the final capital return structure selected;

  • Shareholder objection towards funds left in the company to pursue other opportunities; and

  • fulfilling the clear mandate to return funds to Shareholders in an effective manner.

The Board considers the capital return structure it has announced to be in the best interest of all Shareholders and ensures funds are returned to Shareholders as quickly as possible.

Any Director of the Company that is a Shareholder as at the record date will participate equally to other Shareholders in the capital reduction. For the avoidance of doubt, no Director will receive any payment or benefit of any kind as a consequence of the capital reduction, other than as a Shareholder and on equal terms as other Shareholders.

Units 8-9, 88 Forrest Street, Western Australia 6011 Australia T +61 8 6444 1798 www.vortiv.com ABN 98 057 335 672

1.2 Legal framework

Pursuant to section 256B of the Corporations Act, a company may reduce its share capital in a way that is not otherwise authorised by law if the reduction:

  • (a) is fair and reasonable to the company’s shareholders as a whole;

  • (b) does not materially prejudice the company’s ability to pay its creditors; and

  • (c) is approved by shareholders under section 256C.

Under section 256C of the Corporations Act, if the reduction is an equal reduction (that is, as defined in section 256B(2) of the Corporations Act, it relates to ordinary shares and applies on the same terms and in the same proportion for each of those ordinary shares), it may be approved by an ordinary resolution passed at a general meeting of the company.

1.3

Effect on Share price

If the capital reduction is approved by Shareholders and ultimately implemented by the Company, it is expected that Shares will trade at a lower price following the ‘ex’ date for the capital reduction. This is a natural result of the outflow of funds from the Company to Shareholders. However, there can be no guarantee or assurance as to how the Share price will fluctuate in future, and no forecast is made of future Share prices.

Listing Rule 7.25 provides a prohibition against entities reorganising its capital if the effect of doing so would be to decrease the price at which the ordinary shares would be likely to trade following that reorganization, is an amount less than 20 cents per share. Notwithstanding that the Company’s share capital was trading at slightly less than 20 cents per share before the announcement of the Dividend and capital reduction and having traded lower (13.5 cents at the time of finalisation of this Notice) following the ex-date for the Dividend, Listing Rule 7.25 will still apply in respect of the capital reduction.

Accordingly, the Company is in the process of seeking a waiver of Listing Rule 7.25 to the extent necessary to permit the Company to undertake the capital reduction. If that waiver is not granted by the ASX, the Company will likely not be able to return capital to Shareholders in the way proposed. The Company will keep Shareholders apprised as to the status of that waiver.

1.4 Company’s intended activities following capital reduction

Following completion of the capital reduction, the Company’s remaining working capital will reduce to approximately $750,000 to $800,000.

The Company will retain the abovementioned capital to ensure it maintains its status as a going concern, whilst seeking to monetize the value of its stake in TSI India and considers and assesses potential high growth opportunities in the Australian technology sector that the Board considers are likely to add value to Shareholders.

The Company is in discussions with various parties regarding potential acquisition opportunities, but those opportunities remain, as at the date of this Notice, subject to ongoing discussion and due diligence. As such, those investments remain highly contingent and speculative with no real certainty at this stage as to whether they will be completed or not.

The Company will, of course, in line with its continuous disclosure obligations, inform Shareholders (and the market generally) of any material updates, as and when they materialise.

Following the payment under the capital reduction, the Company will continue to holds its 25% interest in TSI India, a business operating a network of bank automated teller machines and bill payment systems in India.

Units 8-9, 88 Forrest Street, Western Australia 6011 Australia T +61 8 6444 1798 www.vortiv.com ABN 98 057 335 672

1.5 Impacts on Shareholders, creditors and control

The Directors believe that:

  • (a) ( Shareholders ): the capital reduction is fair and reasonable to Shareholders as a whole, since it would apply to each Shareholder as a proportion of the number of Shares held by them as at the relevant record date (see section 0 of this Explanatory Memorandum). However, Shareholders should consider their own individual circumstances, including in relation to their personal tax consequences, and should seek advice from their professional advisers in respect of the same;

  • (b) ( creditors ): the Company’s ability to pay its creditors will not be materially prejudiced by the proposed capital reduction because the Company currently has negligible outstanding debt or any ongoing creditors; and

  • (c) ( control ): the capital reduction will not affect the control of the Company.

1.6 Tax implications of the capital reduction

The tax consequences for a Shareholder in respect of the capital reduction may vary depending on each Shareholder’s specific circumstances. The information below is provided as general guidance only, and does not constitute tax advice for any purpose. In particular, the information below relates to Australian law, and may not be applicable with respect to any foreign tax resident Shareholders, nor does it relate to any distribution other than the capital reduction. Shareholders are encouraged to consult their own tax and financial advisers with respect to their personal tax consequences. Neither the Company, the Board nor any of the Company’s employees or advisers assumes any liability or responsibility for advising Shareholders in respect of their tax liabilities or impacts relating to the capital reduction.

The Company is in discussion with the ATO in respect of obtaining a class ruling in relation to the tax implications of the capital reduction. The Company expects the application to progress efficiently given its ongoing engagement with them in respect of the previously contemplated buyback. Obtaining a class ruling will be relevant in providing Shareholders with surety regarding the tax treatment of the payments to be received by Shareholders under the capital reduction.

The following outline will only apply to Shareholders who hold their Shares on capital account. The class ruling would not apply to those Shareholders who hold their Shares as ‘revenue assets’ or as ‘trading stock’. The return of capital received by those Shareholders will be treated under the general provisions of income tax laws.

Where Shares are held as at payment date

In relation to Shareholders who continue to hold their Shares at the capital reduction payment date:

  • (a) the proposed capital reduction (or any part of it) should not be treated as a ‘dividend’ for Australian income tax purposes, however this is subject to confirmation by the Commissioner of Taxation;

  • (b) the cost base for each Share acquired after 19 September 1985 should be reduced by the return of capital amount (by approximately 10.0 cents by Share) for the purpose of calculating any capital gain or loss once the Share is ultimately disposed;

  • (c) if the cost base (after any adjustments) of Shares acquired after 19 September 1985 is less than the return of capital amount (on a cents per Share basis), then a capital gain may arise for the difference;

  • (d) for certain Shareholders that have held their Shares for a period of more than 12 months prior to the return of capital payment, the amount of the capital gain may be reduced by 50% (for individuals and trusts) of 33.33% (for complying superannuation funds); and

  • (e) no capital gain or loss should arise in respect of Shares acquired on or before 19 September 1985 (although this will not apply given the date of incorporation of the Company).

Units 8-9, 88 Forrest Street, Western Australia 6011 Australia T +61 8 6444 1798 www.vortiv.com ABN 98 057 335 672

Where Shares are not held as at payment date

With respect to Shareholders who hold their Shares at the return of capital record date, but cease to hold their Shares before the return of capital payment date:

  • (a) the proposed capital reduction (or any part of it) should not be treated as a ‘dividend’ for Australian income tax purposes, however this is subject to confirmation by the Commissioner of Taxation;

  • (b) for Shareholders that held Shares (acquired after 19 September 1985) at the return of capital record date, but ceased to own the Shares prior the return of capital payment date, a capital gain equal to the return of capital amount may arise in relation to the right to receive return of capital;

  • (c) for certain Shareholders that have held their Shares for a period of more than 12 months prior to the return of capital payment, the amount of the capital gain may be reduced by 50% (for individuals and trusts) of 33.33% (for complying superannuation funds); and

  • (d) no capital gain or loss should arise in respect of Shares acquired on or before 19 September 1985 (although this will not apply given the date of incorporation of the Company).

The foregoing tax implications will apply in addition to the taxation implications arising for Shares on the disposal of Shares prior to the return of capital payment date.

1.7 Timing of the capital reduction

The Company has lodged with ASIC a copy of this Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement pursuant to section 256C of the Corporations Act.

If Resolution 1 is passed the indicative timetable for the capital reduction is as follows:
