Chairman’s Letter
28 May 2020
Dear Shareholder
You may recall that the Company has consistently indicated at its AGM in November 2019 and in subsequent quarterly updates, its intention to reduce expenditure by an annualised $2m to ensure it has sufficient funding to June 2020. This is on track to being achieved. As this date nears, the Company is now seeking additional funding. This document sets out the details of a raise the Company is undertaking to provide that funding.
Included in this document in Section 5 is an Investor Presentation that sets out the Company’s prospective forward plan – for revenue, expense and cash. Please note that it is subject to the disclaimers and risks included in the presentation but, with the build out of our international channel network and pipeline, it is the most informed plan the Company has been able to provide since its listing in 2016. You will note in the Use of Funds section of the presentation the intention to maintain investment in product development to ensure the Company’s product portfolio remains world class, to increase relatively substantially the investment in taking the product portfolio to market and to reduce overheads in corporate and administration and non-labour expenses. This reflects the clear imperatives for the Company.
On behalf of FirstWave Cloud Technology Limited ( Company ), I am pleased to invite you to participate in the recently announced 4 for 5 accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer for newly issued ordinary shares in the Company ( New Shares ) at an issue price of $0.045 (4.5 cents) per New Share ( Entitlement Offer ). The Entitlement Offer consists of an institutional accelerated component ( Institutional Entitlement Offer ) and a fully underwritten retail component.
On 21 May 2020, the Company announced its intention to raise approximately $14.9 million through an Entitlement Offer accompanied by a private placement to sophisticated and professional investors ( Capital Raising ).
Upon successful completion of the Capital Raising, the Company will have conducted:
-
(a) a placement of New Shares to certain institutional and sophisticated Investors ( Placement ) to raise approximately $3.5 million; and
-
(b) an Entitlement Offer to raise up to $11.4 million.
As announced on 22 May 2020, the Company has now raised $5.9 million under the accelerated institutional component of the Entitlement Offer and Placement. The Company is seeking to raise approximately $9 million through the non-renounceable fully underwritten retail component of the Entitlement Offer ( Retail Entitlement Offer ). The Retail Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten by Morgans ( Underwriter )[1] . The net proceeds of the Capital Raising will be used for working capital to meet projected operational and investment expenditure.
This information booklet ( Retail Offer Booklet ) relates to the Retail Entitlement Offer.
Under the Retail Entitlement Offer, eligible retail shareholders have the opportunity to invest at the price of $0.045 (4.5 cents) per New Share, which is the same price as the institutional investors who participated in the Institutional Entitlement Offer and Placement ( Entitlement ). Your Entitlement is set out in your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form that is enclosed with this Retail Offer Booklet.

If you take up your Entitlement in full, you can also apply for additional shares under a ‘top-up’ facility (refer to section 2 of this Retail Offer Booklet for more information). I encourage you to read the Retail Offer Booklet carefully in deciding whether or not to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer.
Please note that to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer you must apply and pay for your New Shares before 5pm (AEST) on Tuesday 9 June 2020. Further information about how to apply for New Shares is set out in Section 4.
The Issue Price of $0.045 represents a discount of 35.3% to the 7-day VWAP up to 18 May 2020 (being the last trading day prior before the Entitlement Offer was announced) of $0.07 per share and a discount of 15.6% to the theoretical ex-rights price (“TERP”) of $0.053*. The Issue Price under the Retail Entitlement Offer is the same as under the Institutional Entitlement Offer and Placement.
The Retail Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable and therefore is personal to you. It cannot be traded, transferred, assigned or otherwise dealt with. If you do not take up your Entitlement, it will lapse and you will not receive any New Shares, nor any other benefit, under the Entitlement Offer.
The Retail Entitlement Offer closes at 5pm (AEST) on Tuesday 9 June 2020.

* TERP includes shares issued under the Placement, Institutional Entitlement Offer and Retail Entitlement Offer. TERP is a theoretical price at which Shares should trade immediately after the ex-date for the Entitlement Offer. TERP is a theoretical calculation only and the actual price at which Shares will trade immediately after the ex-date for the Entitlement Offer depends on many factors and may not be equal to TERP. TERP has been calculated as: (existing market capitalisation of the Company plus additional equity raised) / total shares on issue following the Entitlement Offer. TERP is calculated by reference to the Company's closing price of $0.062 on Monday, 18 May 2020, being the last trading day prior to the Company entering into a trading halt pending the announcement of the Entitlement Offer.

-
take up all of your Entitlement, and if you do so, you may also apply for Additional New Shares under the Retail Shortfall Facility;
-
take up part of your Entitlement and allow the balance to lapse; or
-
do nothing, in which case your Entitlement will lapse and you will receive no value for those lapsed Entitlements.
The Entitlement Offer closes at 5:00pm (AEST) on Tuesday 9 June.
If you are a retail shareholder that is not an Eligible Retail Shareholder (as defined in Section 6.2), you are an “ Ineligible Retail Shareholder ”. Ineligible Retail Shareholders are not entitled to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer. See Section 6.3 for further details.
| Options available to you | Key considerations |
|---|---|

The New Shares will rank equally in all respects with Existing Shares. If you take up all of your Entitlement, you may also apply for Additional New Shares under the Retail Shortfall Facility. The allocation and issue of Additional New Shares will be determined by the Company in consultation with the Joint Lead Managers and otherwise in its sole discretion. There is no guarantee that you will be allocated any Additional New Shares under the Retail Shortfall Facility. |
| Option 2:Take up part of your Entitlement |
If you do not take up your Entitlement in full, those Entitlements not taken up will lapse and you will not receive any payment or value for them. You will not be entitled to apply for Additional New Shares under the Retail Shortfall Facility.

| Option 3:Do nothing, in which case your Entitlement will lapse and you will receive no value for those lapsed Entitlements |
If you do not take up your Entitlement, you will not be allocated New Shares and your Entitlement will lapse. Your Entitlement to participate in the Entitlement Offer is non- renounceable, which means your Entitlements are non-transferrable and cannot be sold, traded on ASX or any other exchange, nor can they be privately transferred. If you do not take up your Entitlement you will have your percentage holding in the Company reduced as a result of the Entitlement Offer. |

2. THE RETAIL ENTITLEMENT OFFER
FirstWave Cloud Technology Limited ( Company ) (ASX Code: FCT) proposes to raise approximately $11.4 million under the Entitlement Offer through the issue of approximately 253 million New Shares. Where fractions arise in the calculation of an Entitlement, they have been rounded up to the next whole number of New Shares.
The Entitlement Offer comprises:
-
the Institutional Entitlement Offer to raise approximately $2.4 million; and
-
the fully underwritten Retail Entitlement Offer to raise approximately $9 million.
The Retail Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten by the Underwriter in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement (see Section 6.5 below).
In addition, an entity associated with director John Grant has agreed to sub-underwrite the Retail Entitlement Offer up to $300,000 (see Section 6.6 below for more information).
Eligible Retail Shareholders (as defined in Section 6 below) are being offered the opportunity to subscribe for 4 New Shares for every 5 Existing Shares in the Company ( Existing Shares ) held at 7.00pm (AEST) on Monday 25 May 2020 ( Entitlement ), at the issue price of $0.045 (4.5 cents) per New Share.
Eligible Retail Shareholders may also apply for New Shares in excess of their Entitlement ( Additional New Shares ). Please note that New Shares in excess of Entitlements will only be allocated to Eligible Retail Shareholders if, and to the extent that, the Company determines in its absolute discretion but subject to its shortfall allocation policy and having regard to the circumstances as at the time of the close of the Retail Entitlement Offer and the terms of the Underwriting Agreement. The shortfall allocation policy is described in more detail below.
Any New Shares in excess of Entitlements will be limited to the extent that there are sufficient New Shares due to Eligible Retail Shareholders who do not take up their full Entitlements. The Company may apply any scale-back in consultation with the Joint Lead Managers and otherwise at its absolute discretion.
The Retail Entitlement Offer is being made pursuant to provisions of the Corporations Act which allow rights issues to be offered without a prospectus. As a result, it is important for Eligible Retail Shareholders to read and understand the information on the Company and the Retail Entitlement Offer made publicly available, prior to accepting all or part of their Entitlement or applying for Additional New Shares. In particular, please refer to this Retail Entitlement Offer Booklet, and the Company's other periodic and continuous disclosure announcements to the ASX available at www.asx.com.au.
Your Entitlement is set out on the accompanying personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and has been calculated as 4 New Shares for every 5 Existing Shares you held as at the Record Date of 7.00pm (AEST) on Monday 25 May 2020 rounded up to the nearest whole New Share. If you have more than one holding of Existing Shares, you will be sent more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and you will have separate Entitlements for each separate holding. New Shares issued pursuant to the Retail Entitlement Offer will be fully paid and rank equally with the Company's existing ordinary shares on issue.
Your Entitlement is non-renounceable. This means that your Entitlements are personal and cannot be traded, transferred, assigned or otherwise dealt with, whether on the ASX or privately. If you do not take up your Entitlement, it will lapse and you will not receive any New Shares under the Retail Entitlement Offer. New Shares of an equivalent number to Entitlement not taken up under the Retail Entitlement Offer will be offered for subscription under the Retail Shortfall Facility. If you choose not to accept your entitlement under the Retail Entitlement Offer, your shareholding in the Company will be diluted.
7
Note: The Entitlement stated on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form may be in excess of the actual Entitlement you may be permitted to take up where, for example, you are holding Existing Shares on behalf of a U.S. Person.
Retail Shortfall Facility
The Retail Shortfall Facility allows Eligible Retail Shareholders who have subscribed for their Entitlements under the Retail Entitlement Offer to subscribe for Additional New Shares.
The allocation and issue of Additional New Shares will be determined in consultation with the Joint Lead Managers and otherwise at the sole discretion of the Company. If any Additional New Shares are not allocated under the Retail Shortfall Facility, these Shares will be subscribed for by the Underwriter and/or sub-underwriters, subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.
An Eligible Retail Shareholder will not be issued any Additional New Shares under the Retail Shortfall Facility if the issue of the Additional New Shares would cause the Company or the Eligible Retail Shareholder to breach any applicable law or Listing Rule, including section 606 of the Corporations Act.
Ineligible Retail Shareholders
In determining eligibility, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.7.1(a) and section 9A(3) of the Corporations Act, the Company has regard to the legal and regulatory requirements of making offers of securities in certain countries, the number of shareholders in those counties and the number of shares they hold, the value of New Shares to which those shareholders would otherwise be entitled to and the cost of complying with the legal and regulatory requirement in those countries.
The Company has determined, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.7.1(a) and section 9A(3) of the Corporations Act 2001, that it would be unreasonable to make offers under the Retail Entitlement Offer to all shareholders with addresses outside of Australia and New Zealand having regard to the Company's current shareholding and the costs of complying with legal and regulatory requirements in those jurisdictions.
Accordingly, the Retail Entitlement Offer is not being extended to Ineligible Retail Shareholders.
Nominees
The Retail Entitlement Offer is being made to all shareholders on the register of the Company at 7:00pm (AEST) on Monday 25 May 2020 with an address in Australia or New Zealand, and who did not participate in the Institutional Entitlement Offer, and that are not in the United States and are neither a U.S. Person nor acting for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person. The Company is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder is acting as a nominee or the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of Existing Shares.
Where any holder is acting as a nominee for a foreign person, that holder, in dealing with its beneficiary, will need to assess whether indirect participation by the beneficiary in the Retail Entitlement Offer is compatible with applicable foreign laws. Any person in the United States or any person that is or is acting for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person with a holding through a nominee may not participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer and the nominee must not take up any Entitlement or send any materials into the United States or to any person it knows to be a U.S. Person. The Company is not able to advise on foreign laws.

4. HOW TO APPLY
If you wish to take up all or part of your Entitlement, or you wish to apply for Additional New Shares, you must make payment by BPAY® by going online or by contacting your financial institution. The global pandemic of COVID-19 has resulted in government restrictions, and mandated or voluntary closures of certain services, which has resulted in delay of postal and delivery services. The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic and the policy response is evolving rapidly, and given this uncertainty, the Company has determined to limit the payment method in connection with the Retail Entitlement Offer to BPAY® only.
Payment by BPAY ®
To pay by BPAY®, please follow the instructions on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You can only make a payment via BPAY® if you are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY® transactions.
Note that you can access an electronic copy of your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance form by visiting www.investorcentre.com. Select “Single holding” and log on by entering your SRN/HIN, postcode and company name. The personalised Entitlement and Acceptance form can be viewed under the “Documents” tab at the top of the web page.
Please note that should you choose to pay by BPAY®:
-
You are taken to have made the declarations on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form;
-
If you do not pay for your full Entitlement, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of New Shares which is covered in full by your application monies; and
-
If you do pay for more than your full Entitlement, you are deemed to have applied for as many Additional New Shares as your excess amount will pay for in full (subject to any scale-back determined by the Company in consultation with the Joint Lead Managers and otherwise in its absolute discretion).
It is your responsibility to ensure that your BPAY® payment is received by the Share Registry by no later than 5.00pm (AEST) on Tuesday 9 June 2020 . You should be aware that your financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regards to electronic payment and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment.
If you are paying by BPAY®, please make sure to use the specific Biller Code and unique Customer Reference Number on the back of your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. If you receive more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, please only use the Customer Reference Number specific to the Entitlement on that form. If you inadvertently use the same Customer Reference Number for more than one of your Entitlements, you will be deemed to have applied only for New Shares (and Additional New Shares) on the Entitlement to which that Customer Reference Number applies. Please note that a limit may apply on the amount that can be transferred via BPAY®. It is your responsibility to check that the amount you wish to pay via BPAY® will not exceed that limit.
If you have multiple holdings, you will have multiple BPAY® customer reference numbers provided on each of your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Forms. To ensure you successfully take up you Entitlement in respect of each holding, you must use the customer reference number shown on each personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form when paying for any New Shares that you wish to apply for in respect of those holdings.
Any application monies received in excess of your final allocation of New Shares will be refunded (without interest) as soon as practicable after the close of the Retail Entitlement Offer.
Payments by cheque, bank draft, money order or cash will not be accepted. Receipts for payment will not be issued.
10
New Zealand holders
Eligible Retail Shareholders who are resident in New Zealand and who are unable to pay in accordance with the processes set out above by the Retail Closing Date should contact the Share Registry on +61 3 9415 4000 to make alternative arrangements.
Representations, allotment and refunds
If you take no action, you will not be allocated New Shares and your Entitlement will lapse. Your Entitlement to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable and will not be tradeable or otherwise transferable. Shareholders who do not take up their Entitlements in full will not receive any payment or value for those Entitlements they do not take up.
By making a payment by BPAY®, you will be deemed to have
-
(a) made the Eligible Retail Shareholder declarations set out in section 8 of this Offer Booklet;
-
(b) represented that you are an Eligible Retail Shareholder as defined in Section 6.2 below.
If you take up and pay for all or part of your Entitlement before the close of the Retail Entitlement Offer at 5.00pm (AEST) on Tuesday 9 June 2020, you will be issued your New Shares on Tuesday 16 June 2020. If you apply for Additional New Shares then, subject to the Company's absolute discretion (subject to consultation with the Joint Lead Managers) to scale-back your application for Additional New Shares (in whole or part), you will be issued these Additional New Shares on Tuesday 16 June 2020.
The Company's decision on the number of Additional New Shares to be allocated to you will be final. The Company also reserves the right (in its absolute discretion) to reduce the number of New Shares (and if applicable, Additional New Shares) allocated to Eligible Retail Shareholders, or persons claiming to be Eligible Retail Shareholders, if their claims prove to be overstated or otherwise incorrect or if they fail to provide information to substantiate their claims.

21 May 2020: ASX Media Release
FirstWave launches $14.9m Equity Raising
Leading Australian headquartered global cyber security company, FirstWave Cloud Technology Limited (ASX: FCT) ( Company ) today launched an equity offering to raise up to $14.9 million comprising:
-
a $11.4 million accelerated non-renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer ( Entitlement Offer ); and
-
a $3.5 million institutional placement ( Placement ),
(collectively, the Capital Raise ).
Executive Chairman, John Grant, said "Over the last year, FirstWave and its global channel partners have made tremendous progress in laying the foundations for commercialising FirstWave’s world-class Cloud Content Security Platform. Even given our market has been disrupted by COVID-19 in recent months, I continue to be optimistic and excited about the prospects for our Company. This Capital Raise is an opportunity for both existing and new investors to provide the runway the Company needs to realise its opportunity to be a leading cyber security partner to Telcos and managed security service providers world-wide. We look forward to your participation in the offer.”
The proceeds of the Capital Raise will be used to fund the Company’s projected operational and investment expenditure through to what our forward plan projects to be cash flow break even in December 2022.
Details of the Capital Raise
The Company is undertaking a 4 for 5 Entitlement Offer to raise approximately $11.4 million, and a $3.5 million Placement, together raising up to $14.9 million.
The Capital Raise will result in the issue of approximately 332 million new fully paid shares in the Company, representing approximately 105% of existing shares on issue. All new shares will rank equally with existing shares on the date of issue.
Placement
The $3.5 million Placement will be offered to institutional investors at a price of $0.045 per share (4.5 cents), representing a 35.3% discount to the 7-day VWAP up to 18[th] May 2020 (being the last trading day before the Capital Raise was announced) of $0.07. The Placement is being conducted today, Thursday 21[st] May 2020.
In accordance with Class Waiver Decision – Temporary Extra Placement Capacity granted by ASX on 23[rd] April 2020, the Placement is within the Company's placement capacity calculated as if the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 is 25% and not 15%, and accordingly, no shareholder approval is required in connection with the Placement. Shares issued under the Placement do not have rights to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

Entitlement Offer
The Entitlement Offer comprises:
-
an institutional entitlement offer to raise approximately $2.4 million which opens on Thursday 21[th] May 2020 and closes on Thursday 21[th] May 2020 ( Institutional Entitlement Offer ); and
-
a fully underwritten retail entitlement offer to raise approximately $9.0 million which opens on Thursday 28[th] May 2020 and closes on Tuesday 9[th] June 2020 ( Retail Entitlement Offer ).
Under the Entitlement Offer, eligible shareholders are invited to subscribe for 4 new shares for every 5 shares they hold as at 7.00pm (AEST) on Monday 25[th] May 2020. All new shares issued under the Entitlement Offer will be issued at a price of $0.045 per Share (4.5 cents) ( Issue Price ), which represents a:
-
35.3% discount to the 7-day VWAP up to 18[th] May 2020; and
-
15.6% discount to the theoretical ex-rights price ('TERP')
Entitlements cannot be traded on the ASX or transferred. Eligible shareholders who do not accept their entitlement under the Entitlement Offer in full or part, will not receive any value in respect to those entitlements not accepted.

| Offer Summary | 7 Director Participation ˃ The Executive Chairman, John Grant, proposes to accept his entitlement in full and participate as a priority sub-underwriter to the Retail Entitlement Offer up to $300k. No fees, commissions or other consideration will be payable to Mr Grant in connection with his role as a sub-underwriter to the Retail Entitlement Offer. Mr Grant's participation as a priority sub-underwriter to the Retail Entitlement Offer will terminate in circumstances where the Underwriting Agreement is terminated. ˃ Directors have deferred payment of Board Fees from November 2019. Directors will be participating in the Entitlement Offer to the extent of the Board Fees deferred. Post Offer the Directors have confirmed that they will sacrifice Board Fees to the full extent the fees set for non-executive directors in FY21 allow into the proposed Share Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) Plan. Participation in SARs will be subject to shareholder approval. Underwriting ˃ The Retail Entitlement Offer is underwritten by Morgans Corporate Limited (Underwriter). In addition, director John Grant has agreed to priority sub-underwrite the Retail Entitlement Offer up to $300k. ˃ The Company has also agreed to issue 30,000,000 options (Options) to sub-underwriters nominated by the Underwriter subject to shareholders approving such issue at the Company's next general meeting. The Options will have an exercise price of $0.05 and be exercisable within 12 months from their issue date. ˃ If shareholders do not approve the issue of the Options at the Company's next general meeting, then the Company must make a cash payment to the Underwriter, for the benefit of the sub-underwriters, in an amount per Option equal to the greater of $0.01 and the VWAP for the 7 trading days preceding the Company's next general meeting less $0.05. The Underwriting Agreement dated 21 May 2020 between the Company and the Underwriter provides that the Underwriter will not be issued any shares that would cause it to breach the 20% takeover threshold contained in Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). If the Underwriter was required to take up shares on issue which would otherwise cause it to breach or notify under these provisions then, for the purposes of ASIC Report 612 (March 2019), (i) it will still fund the entire underwritten proceeds in accordance with and subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement by the completion date, (ii) the number of excess shortfall shares would be up to the number of shares offered under the Retail Entitlement Offer less the number of shares that have been pre-committed or sub-underwritten and the number of shares that the Underwriter is able to take up without causing it to breach or notify under these provisions when aggregated with any additional interests the Underwriter and its affiliates hold at the relevant settlement date other than through its underwriting commitment; and (iii) it would enter into an arrangement for any excess shortfall shares to be issued to it, or to third party investors, after close of the offer at the same price as the offer price. No material impact on control is expected to arise as a consequence of these arrangements or from any shareholder taking up their entitlement under the Retail Entitlement Offer where there is an excess shortfall. |

FirstWave A global cyber security company Appendix 2 Risks and Restrictions
----- End of picture text -----
45
| Key Risks | 31 This section discusses some of the risks associated with an investment in FirstWave. FirstWave’s business is subject to a number of risk factors both specific to its business and of a general nature which may impact on its future performance and forecasts. Before subscribing for FirstWave securities, prospective investors should carefully consider and evaluate FirstWave and its business and whether the securities are suitable to acquire having regard to their own investment objectives and financial circumstances and taking into consideration the material risk factors, set out below. The risk factors below are not exhaustive. Prospective investors should consider publicly available information on FirstWave, examine the full content of this presentation and consult their financial or other advisers before making an investment decision. Any investment will be solely at the investor’s risk. Specific Risks: Dependence on Key Personnel FirstWave depends on the talent and experience of its Personnel, and, as such, any departure of key Personnel may be materially adverse to FirstWave’s prospects. It may be difficult to replace key Personnel or to do so in a timely manner or at a comparable expense. Additionally, if any key Personnel were to leave to work for or establish a competitor, this could further impact FirstWave’s prospects. FirstWave has sought to mitigate this risk with equity incentives, but these incentives cannot remove the risk altogether. Intellectual Property The intellectual property in the FirstWave platform is critical to its commercialisation. There may be circumstances where FirstWave’s intellectual property cannot be protected or is subject to unauthorized infringement. Notwithstanding that FirstWave may have legal rights in respect of any infringement, those rights may be costly and time consuming to enforce. FirstWave has source code and other intellectual property which are important assets. It is therefore reliant on a combination of confidentiality agreements with its consultants and third parties with whom it operates, in addition to trademark and domain name intellectual property right protections, in order to protect the FirstWave brand. Given the nature of the product, FirstWave does not have complete copyright and patent protection of its intellectual property. If FirstWave is unable to protect its intellectual property, competitors may gain access to its technology which may adversely impact the business. In addition, third parties may make claims against FirstWave for infringement of their intellectual property rights. Defending such actions may be costly to FirstWave and divert the time and resources of Board and key management personnel, resulting in detriment to FirstWave. The intellectual property rights of a third party may also prevent FirstWave from utilising its own intellectual property rights, requiring FirstWave to rebrand at significant cost to FirstWave. Competition Markets in which FirstWave competes may be subject to disruptive change from new technologies and competition may arise from a number of sources both in Australia and abroad. It may include companies that have greater capital resources and closer customer relationships than FirstWave. Competition may also arise from companies with developed processes, systems, and technology or customers may seek to develop their own equivalent analytical platforms. Any significant competition or failure to keep pace with technological change may adversely affect FirstWave’s ability to attract customers or meet its business objectives. Reliance on Third Parties As the FirstWave platform is cloud-based, FirstWave relies upon data centres and other third-party service providers for the ongoing availability of its platform. FirstWave’s influence over these third-parties is limited. Any system failure that causes an interruption to the platform could materially affect FirstWave’s business. System failures, if prolonged, could reduce the attractiveness of the platform to existing and potential customers and could damage FirstWave’s business reputation and brand name, and consequently, its financial performance, position and prospects. Reliance on Continual Platform Development FirstWave’s ability to grow its customer base and generate revenue will be dependent in part upon its ability to continually develop and innovate the FirstWave platform to ensure it is a market leader in the industry. This may involve introducing significant changes to the existing FirstWave platform, including technologies with which there is little or no prior development or operating experience. If the modified platform does not attract customers, FirstWave may fail to generate sufficient revenue or operating profit to justify the investment. Hacking and Breaches FirstWave may be adversely affected by malicious third-party actions that seek to breach security of the platform. Any such ‘hacking’ of the platform could, among other things, jeopardise the security of customer information stored on the FirstWave platform. If FirstWave’s efforts to combat such malicious actions are unsuccessful, or if the platform has actual or perceived vulnerabilities, FirstWave’s business reputation and brand name may be harmed, which may result in a loss of customers from the platform (and reduced prospects of securing new customers). |

| Key Risks cont’d | Lead Time Delay | There is a risk that the lead time from the identification of new customers/partners to the execution of the contract to product delivery and billing and actual payment for the services may be longer than anticipated. While FirstWave will use its best | endeavours to reduce the lead times on its revenue generation activities, any delays which may be beyond the control of FirstWave have the potential to materially impact the financial position, performance and prospects of FirstWave. | COVID-19 | The COVID 19 pandemic has had and continues to have an impact on FirstWave’s business. In particular the inability for our people to travel internationally has delayed a number of product installations in offshore jurisdictions. Even after the travel | restrictions are lifted, there is substantial uncertainty as to the economic outlook internationally. | There are also other changes in the domestic and global macroeconomic environment associated with the events relating to COVID-19 that are beyond the control of FirstWave and may be exacerbated in an economic recession or downturn. These | include but are not limited to: | • changes in inflation, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates; |
• changes in employment levels and labour costs; |
• changes in aggregate investment and economic output; and |
• other changes in economic conditions which may affect the revenue or costs of FirstWave. |
It is therefore difficult for FirstWave to know how long the travel restrictions and quarantine rules will apply, and hence to quantify what the impact of COVID-19 on its business will be. | Sufficiency of Funding | The funds raised under the Placement and Entitlement Offer will be applied primarily for working capital purposes to help FirstWave pursue its growth strategy. However there is no certainty that these expenditures will deliver sufficient sales growth to | obviate the need for further capital. For example, even if FirstWave becomes cash flow positive, the Directors may consider it appropriate to increase expenditure on the development of FirstWave's platform. As a result, FirstWave may require further | funding in the medium term. Any equity funding sought may be highly dilutive to Shareholders, depending on the price at which FirstWave seeks to issue new securities and the level of participation under the Entitlement Offer. While debt funding | may be available to FirstWave in the future, the availability of such funding, will be dependent on FirstWave's financial performance. In addition to dilution, if FirstWave is unsuccessful in obtaining funds when required, it may need to delay planned | business activities, and potentially forgo growth opportunities, which in turn may adversely affect FirstWave's financial performance or position. | Information Technology Risks | The platforms offered by FirstWave may contain defects and bugs when first introduced to a particular customer or as new versions are released. These defects or bugs could interrupt or delay the provision of services to customers and could | ultimately damage FirstWave's business reputation or financial performance. | FirstWave's platform is also subject to risks associated with computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins, loss of data from physical damage or from failures by third party service providers or operating systems and similar disruptions, as well as | to damage from the inadvertent introduction onto its systems of incorrect programming language by its employees. Any failures, faults, interruption, loss or corruption of data or other compromise to FirstWave's platform as a result of these risks may | have a longer-term impact on client satisfaction and could adversely affect the financial performance of FirstWave's business as well as its business reputation. | Regulatory Risks | Changes in the structure and regulation of the industries in which FirstWave operates in Australia and elsewhere could materially affect FirstWave and its business. Changes to government policy, law or regulations, or the introduction of new | regulatory regimes may lead to an increase in operational costs and may have a materially adverse effect on the operations, financial performance and prospects of FirstWave. | 32 |

| Key Risks cont’d | General Risks: | Share Market Risks | The price of Shares rise and fall and might trade at prices below or above the Offer Price. There can also be no assurance that an active trading market will develop for the Shares. | Speculative Nature of Investments | Any potential investor should be aware that subscribing for Shares involves various risks. The Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placement and Entitlement Offer carry no guarantees with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital or | market value. The success of FirstWave is dependent on the commercialisation of its products and market adoption of those products. An investment in FirstWave should therefore be considered speculative in nature. | General Economic Risks | FirstWave’s operating and financial performance is influenced by a variety of general economic and business conditions including the level of inflation, interest rates and government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies. | Taxation Risks | Future changes in Australian and international taxation laws in jurisdictions that FirstWave operates may affect taxation treatment of an investment in FirstWave shares, or the holding and disposal of those shares. Additionally, changes in tax law in | the various jurisdictions in which FirstWave operates, may impact the future tax liabilities of FirstWave. | Litigation Risk | Disputes or litigation may arise from time to time in the course of the business activities of FirstWave. There is a risk that any material or costly dispute or litigation could adversely affect FirstWave's reputation, financial position, performance or | prospects. | Underlying Assumptions | The forward looking statements, opinions and estimates contained in this investor presentation as well as the anticipated application of funds raised (Relevant Statements) rely on various assumptions. These assumptions include that business will | return to pre COVID-19 levels in Q2 FY21 i.e. from 1 October 2020; that partners will apply their resources to taking CCSP to market as they did pre COVID-19; that Cisco, in particular, remains as committed to FirstWave as it was pre COVID-19; | that FirstWave’s level and location of resources will remain as they are now; and that a new Share Appreciation Rights Plan allowing Board/Executives/Leadership Team to exchange fees and remuneration for shares in the Company will be | approved by shareholders. | Various factors, both known and unknown, may impact upon the performance of FirstWave and cause its actual performance to vary significantly from the expected results disclosed in the Relevant Statements. In addition, the assumptions upon | which the Relevant Statements are based are by their very nature subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which will be outside the control of the Company, the directors and management and are not reliably predictable. | Accordingly none of the Company, its directors and management or any other person can give investors any assurance that the outcomes disclosed in the Relevant Statements will eventuate. Events and outcomes might differ in amount and | timing from the assumptions, with a material consequential impact on the Relevant Statements. | While the directors believe the assumptions upon which the Relevant Statements are based (including the assumptions referred to above), when taken as a whole, to be reasonable at the time of preparing this presentation, the assumptions are not | fact, and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the Relevant Statements. Investors should be aware that the timing of actual events and the magnitude of their impact might differ from that assumed in preparing the Relevant | Statements and that this may have a material positive or negative effect on the Company's actual financial performance, cash flows or financial position. | In particular, investors should note that there is continued uncertainty as to the duration of and further impact of COVID-19 including (but not limited to) in relation to government, regulatory or health authority actions, work stoppages, lockdowns, | quarantines, travel restrictions and the impact on the Australian and global economy. There is a risk that if the spread of COVID-19 continues, and/or the actions taken to combat COVID-19 persist, FirstWave's operational and financial |
performance could deteriorate. | Therefore, depending on the duration of the impact of COVID-19 and if any of the assumptions on which the Relevant Statements are based do not eventuate or are incorrect, FirstWave may not be able to execute effectively on its strategies and | intended application of funds raised as per the Relevant Statements. Furthermore, in executing its future growth strategies which target expansion of existing business in Australia and overseas, FirstWave could be exposed to additional or | unforeseen costs, which may strain financial or management resources. There is also a risk of disruption to FirstWave's business models and/or those of its suppliers due to factors that are outside the control of FirstWave and such disruption could | adversely impact FirstWave's reputation and financial performance. Thus, to the extent that any of the assumptions underlying the Relevant Statements do not materialise or if any unforeseen risks arise, FirstWave may be required to obtain further | equity funding in the medium term, which may be highly dilutionary to Shareholders. | 33 |

The Retail Entitlement Offer is being made pursuant to the requirements of section 708AA of the Corporations Act as modified by ASIC Corporations (Non-Traditional Rights Issues) Instrument 2016/84).

These documents do not contain, or purport to contain, all of the information that a prospective investor may require in evaluating the subscription of New Shares. They do not and are not required to contain all of the information which would be required to be disclosed in a prospectus.
6.2 Eligible Retail Shareholders
The Retail Entitlement Offer in this Retail Offer Booklet contains an offer of New Shares to Eligible Retail Shareholders in Australia or New Zealand and has been prepared in accordance with section 708AA of the Corporations Act as modified by ASIC Corporations (Non-Traditional Rights Issues) Instrument 2016/84).
Eligible Retail Shareholders are those holders of Existing Shares who:
-
(a) are registered as holders of Existing Shares as at 7.00pm (AEST) on Monday 25 May 2020;
-
(b) have a registered address on the Company's share register in Australia or New Zealand;
54

6.3 Ineligible Retail Shareholders
The Company has decided that it is unreasonable to make offers under the Retail Entitlement Offer to holders of Existing Shares who have registered addresses outside Australia and New Zealand, having regard to the number of such holders in those places, the number and value of the New Shares which they would be offered and the cost of complying with the relevant legal and regulatory requirements in those places. The Retail Entitlement Offer is not being made in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. Persons.
6.4 Effect on control
If all Eligible Shareholders were to take up their Entitlements in full, then the Entitlement Offer would have little, if any, effect on the control of the Company. However, the proportional shareholding interests of Ineligible Shareholders would be diluted because such Shareholders are not entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer. In addition, if some Eligible Shareholders do not take up all of their Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer, then the shareholding interest of those Eligible Shareholders may be diluted.
6.5 Underwriting arrangements
The Company has entered into the Underwriting Agreement with the Joint Lead Managers. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Joint Lead Managers have agreed to manage the Placement and the Entitlement Offer, and the Underwriter has agreed to fully underwrite the Retail Entitlement Offer on the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement.
For further detail regarding the key terms of the Underwriting Agreement, please refer to the "Key Risks" section of the investor presentation (See section 5.2 above).
The Company is required to pay the following fees under the Underwriting Agreement:
-
(a) a management and capital raising fee equal to 6% (exclusive of GST) of the capital raised under the Placement and the Entitlement Offer (excluding the proceeds of the Retail Entitlement Offer) payable to the Joint Lead Managers; and
-
(b) an underwriting fee equal to 6% (exclusive of GST) of the capital raised under the Retail Entitlement Offer payable to the Underwriter.
The Joint Lead Managers will also be reimbursed for certain expenses.
No material impact on control is expected to arise as a consequence of these arrangements or from any shareholder taking up their Entitlement where there is excess shortfall.
The Company has also agreed to issue 30,000,000 options ( Options ) to sub-underwriters nominated by the Underwriter subject to shareholders approving such issue at the Company's next general meeting. The terms of the Options are as follows:
55
| Exercise price | $0.05 (5 cents) per Option. |
|---|---|
| Expiry Date | 12 months from the issue date. |
| Conversion | Each Option converts into one Share in the capital of the Company. |
| Restrictions on transfer |
An Option is not capable of being transferred, sold, mortgaged, charged, hedged or made subject to any margin lending arrangement or otherwise disposed of or dealt with or encumbered in any way, and an Option will lapse immediately if any such thing purports to occur. |
| Participation rights |
The Options do not carry any participation rights in new Share issues. |
| Exercise method |
The Options may be exercised wholly or in part by the holder paying the applicable exercise price per Option to the Company. The Company will apply to ASX to have the Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of Options granted official quotation. |
| Shares to rank pari passu |
All Shares issued upon exercise of the Options, and payment of the relevant exercise price to the Company, will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company’s then issued Shares. The Options will be unlisted. No quotation will be sought from ASX for the Options. |
| Capital reorganisation |
In the event of a reorganisation of the issued capital of the Company prior to the Expiry Date, the rights attaching to each Option will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the Listing Rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation. |
| Dividends and voting |
The Options do not provide the holder any entitlement to dividends. The Options do not entitle the holder to receive notice of, attend or vote at, any meeting of the Company’s shareholders. |
| Listing Rules | To the extent that any of these terms and conditions are inconsistent with or contrary to the Listing Rules, the Listing Rules provisions will prevail and these terms and conditions are deemed to incorporate the relevant Listing Rules provisions as an amendment to these terms. |
| Corporations Act |
The holder’s right to exercise an Option is subject to compliance with Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). If the exercise of an Option would result in the holder having a relevant interest greater than 20% of the Company’s voting shares on issue, then the holder may be prohibited from exercising its Option(s). |
If shareholders do not approve the issue of the Options at the Company's next general meeting, then the Company must make a cash payment to the Underwriter, for the benefit of the sub-underwriters, within 5 business days of such general meeting, equal to an amount (exclusive of GST) calculated as follows:
CP = NO x OP
Where:
CP: is the cash payment to be made
NO: is the number of Options that would have been issued, being 30,000,000
OP: is the option price, being the greater of $0.01 and the amount by which the volume weighted average price for the Shares calculated over the 5 trading days immediately preceding the date of the notice convening the general meeting exceeds $0.05 6.6 Director sub-underwriting
JHG Super Pty Ltd, an entity associated with director John Grant, has entered into a sub-underwriting agreement with the Underwriter in respect of the Retail Entitlement Offer for 6,666,667 New Shares ($300,000).
56
No fees, commissions or other consideration will be payable to JHG Super Pty Ltd in connection with its role as a sub-underwriter to the Retail Entitlement Offer. JHG Super Pty Ltd's participation as a sub-underwriter to the Retail Entitlement Offer will terminate in circumstances where the Underwriting Agreement is terminated.
The maximum total shareholding of Mr Grant and his associates (including JHG Super Pty Ltd) following the Entitlement Offer has been calculated in the table below on the basis that JHG Super Pty Ltd subscribes for its full Entitlement and receives its full sub-underwriting allocation.
| Related Party |
Current shareholding (including direct and indirect interest) |
Current interest in voting shares |
Entitlement and sub- underwriting commitment |
Total shares held post Entitlement Offer |
Post Entitlement Offer interest in voting shares |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| John Grant | 353,297 | 0.11% | 6,949,305 | 7,302,602 | 1.13% |
The Company intends to rely on Listing Rule 10.12, exception 2 to permit JHG Super Pty Ltd to subunderwrite the Retail Entitlement Offer. Accordingly, shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 is not required.
6.7 Effect of the Entitlement Offer
If all entitlements are accepted by shareholders to the full extent, then the Entitlement Offer will not result in any change to the control of the Company (other than to the Ineligible Shareholders whose holdings will be diluted).
If all entitlements under the Entitlement Offer are not accepted to the full extent, then the shareholding interest of non-participating shareholders will be diluted.
The effect of the Entitlement Offer on the capital structure of the Company, assuming all Shares offered under the Offer Booklet are issued, is set out below.
| Fully Paid Shares | Number |
|---|---|
| Ordinary fully paid shares on issue as at date of Offer Booklet | 316,036,629 |
| Ordinary fully paid shares offered pursuant to the Entitlement Offer | 252,829,311 |
| Total Shares on issue after completion of the Entitlement Offer (excluding shares issued under the Placement) |
568,865,940 |
| Ordinary fully paid shares issued under the Placement | 78,759,156 |
| Total Shares on issue after completion of the Entitlement Offer and Placement (including shares issued under the Placement) |
647,625,096 |
| Options | Number |
| Unlisted options on issue as at date of the Offer Document | 36,085,999 |
6.8 Effect on control of the Company
Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Entitlement Offer, and any shortfall is fully subscribed, their holdings could be diluted by up to approximately 44.44%. In addition, the Company notes that approximately 78,759,156 shares were issued under the Placement, and Shareholders that do not participate in the Entitlement Offer and whom did not participate in the
57
Placement will experience a dilution greater than 44.44%. Examples of how the dilution may impact Shareholders are set out in the table below:
| Holdings if | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Holding as at | % at Record | Entitlements | Entitlement is | |||
| Holder | Record date | Date | under the Offer | not accepted | % post Offer | |
| Shareholder | 1 | 20,000,000 | 6.33% | 16,000,000 | 20,000,000 | 3.09% |
| Shareholder | 2 | 10,000,000 | 3.16% | 8,000,000 | 10,000,000 | 1.54% |
| Shareholder | 3 | 5,000,000 | 1.58% | 4,000,000 | 5,000,000 | 0.77% |
| Holdings if | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50% of | ||||||
| Holding as at | % at Record | Entitlements | Entitlement is | |||
| Holder | Record date | Date | under the Offer | accepted | % post Offer | |
| Shareholder | 1 | 20,000,000 | 6.33% | 16,000,000 | 28,000,000 | 4.32% |
| Shareholder | 2 | 10,000,000 | 3.16% | 8,000,000 | 14,000,000 | 2.16% |
| Shareholder | 3 | 5,000,000 | 1.58% | 4,000,000 | 7,000,000 | 1.08% |
| Holdings if | ||||||
| 100% of | ||||||
| Holding as at | % at Record | Entitlements | Entitlement is | |||
| Holder | Record date | Date | under the Offer | accepted | % post Offer | |
| Shareholder | 1 | 20,000,000 | 6.33% | 16,000,000 | 36,000,000 | 5.56% |
| Shareholder | 2 | 10,000,000 | 3.16% | 8,000,000 | 18,000,000 | 2.78% |
| Shareholder | 3 | 5,000,000 | 1.58% | 4,000,000 | 9,000,000 | 1.39% |
-
The tables assume that the Entitlement Offer, and any shortfall, is fully subscribed. In the event all Entitlements are not accepted and some or all of the resulting shortfall is not subsequently placed, the dilutionary impact for each Shareholder not accepting their Entitlement would be a lesser percentage.
-
The table assumes that the Company's existing unlisted options, referred to in section 6.7 are not exercised.
-
The table assumes that the maximum raise is achieved under the Placement and that the notional Shareholder does not participate in the Placement.
6.9 Underwriter's voting power
Subject to a number of exceptions, section 606(1) of the Corporations Act prohibits a person from increasing their voting power in the Company from 20% or below to more than 20% or from a starting point that is above 20% and below 90%.
The Underwriting Agreement dated 21 May 2020 between the Company and the Underwriter provides that the Underwriter will not be issued any shares that would cause it to breach the 20% takeover threshold contained in Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). If the Underwriter was required to take up shares on issue which would otherwise cause it to breach or notify under these provisions then, for the purposes of ASIC Report 612 (March 2019):
-
(a) it will still fund the entire underwritten proceeds in accordance with and subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement by the completion date;
-
(b) the number of excess shortfall shares would be up to the number of shares offered under the Retail Entitlement Offer less the number of shares that have been pre-committed or subunderwritten and the number of shares that the Underwriter is able to take up without causing it to breach or notify under these provisions when aggregated with any additional interests the Underwriter and its affiliates hold at the relevant settlement date other than through its underwriting commitment; and
58
- (c) it would enter into an arrangement for any excess shortfall shares to be issued to it, or to third party investors, after close of the offer at the same price as the offer price.
No material impact on control is expected to arise as a consequence of these arrangements or from any shareholder taking up their Entitlement under the Retail Entitlement Offer where there is an excess shortfall.
6.10 Allocation policy and scale-back
All Eligible Retail Shareholders will be allocated New Shares applied for up to their Entitlement. All applications for Additional New Shares in excess of Entitlements will be allocated by the Company in consultation with the Joint Lead Managers and otherwise in its discretion. Applicants are not guaranteed to receive any Additional New Shares they subscribe for. The Company reserves the right to allocate to any Applicant a lesser number of Additional New Shares than the Applicant subscribed for, or to decline to issue any Additional New Shares.
In the event of a scale-back, the difference between the application monies received, and the number of Additional New Shares allocated to you multiplied by the offer price of $0.045 will be refunded following allotment. No interest will be paid on any application monies received and returned.
6.11 Continuous disclosure
The Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act. As such, it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations including an obligation under the Listing Rules (subject to certain exceptions) to disclose to ASX any information of which it is or becomes aware concerning the Company and which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of shares. All such disclosures are available at www.asx.com.au. You have the opportunity to access any information about the Company which has previously been disclosed to ASX. In particular, please refer to the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2019, Half Year Report for the half year ended 31 December 2019 and Quarterly Report for the quarter ended 31 March 2020.

6.13 Notice to nominees and custodians
Nominees and custodians which hold Shares as nominees or custodians will have received, or will shortly receive, a letter in respect of the Entitlement Offer. Nominees and custodians should consider carefully the contents of that letter and note in particular that the Retail Entitlement Offer is not available to eligible institutional shareholders who were invited to participate in the Institutional Entitlement Offer (whether they accepted their Entitlements or not) and institutional shareholders who were treated as ineligible institutional shareholders under the Institutional Entitlement Offer.
The Company is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder of Existing Shares is acting as nominee or the identity or residence of any beneficial owner of Shares. Where any registered holder of Existing Shares is acting as a nominee of a foreign person, that holder, in dealing with its beneficiary, will need to assess whether the indirect participation in the Retail Entitlement Offer is compatible with applicable foreign laws.
The Company is not able to advise on any foreign laws. However any person in the United States or any person that is, or is acting for the account or benefit of, a U.S. Person with a holding through a nominee may not participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer, and such a nominee must not take up any
59
Entitlement on behalf of such a person or send any material relating to the Entitlement Offer into the United States or to any person that is, or is acting for the account or benefit of, a U.S Person.
6.14 Withdrawal
The Company reserves the right to withdraw the Retail Entitlement Offer at any time before the issue of New Shares under the Retail Entitlement Offer, in which case the Company will refund any Application Monies received.
6.15 Taxation
You should be aware that there may be taxation implications associated with participating in the Retail Entitlement Offer and receiving New Shares (and Additional New Shares).
The Company does not consider it appropriate to give shareholders advice regarding the taxation consequences of subscribing for New Shares (and Additional New Shares) under the Retail Entitlement Offer.

Shareholders should consult their professional tax adviser in connection with subscribing for New Shares (and Additional New Shares) under this Retail Offer Booklet.
6.16 Rounding of Entitlements

6.18 Quotation and trading
The Company will apply to ASX for the official quotation of the New Shares (and Additional New Shares) in accordance with the Listing Rules.
