2.1 Entitlement Offer
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Offer
Under the Entitlement Offer, Eligible Shareholders are invited to subscribe for 1 (one) New Share for every 15 (fifteen) Shares held at the Record Date, at an issue price of $0.023 per New Share to raise up to approximately $1,012,931 (before costs).
All New Shares issued pursuant to the Entitlement Offer will be issued as fully paid and will rank equally in all respects with the Existing Shares on issue. Further details of the rights attaching to New Shares are set out in Section 6.
Eligible Shareholders may apply for New Shares but are not required to do so.
Please refer to Section 4 for details on how to accept an Entitlement and apply for New Shares under the Entitlement Offer.
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Entitlement and eligibility
The Entitlement Offer is made to Eligible Shareholders only.
All Shareholders with a registered address in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia or Hong Kong and who are registered as the holder of Shares at 4.00pm (WST) on 9 February 2024 ( Record Date ) are Eligible Shareholders. The Entitlement Offer is not extended to Shareholders who do not meet this criterion.
The number of New Shares to which Eligible Shareholders are entitled (i.e. their Entitlement) is shown on each Eligible Shareholder’s Acceptance Form accompanying this Offer Document.
Where the determination of the Entitlement of any Eligible Shareholder results in a fraction of a New Share, such fraction will be rounded to the nearest whole New Share.
An Eligible Shareholder’s Entitlement to participate in the Entitlement Offer will lapse if not accepted by the Closing Date. Any New Shares not applied for will form part of the Shortfall.
The Company reserves the right (in its sole discretion) to:
-
reject any Acceptance Form that it believes comes from a person who is not an Eligible Shareholder; and
-
reduce the number of New Shares allocated to Eligible Shareholders, or persons claiming to be Eligible Shareholders, if their claim to be entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer proves to be false, exaggerated or unsubstantiated.
The Company reserves the right to withdraw the Entitlement Offer at any time before New Shares are issued pursuant to it. In that event, relevant Application Moneys will be refunded without interest in accordance with the Corporations Act. Refunds will be made via direct credit only to the bank account as recorded with the Share Registry as soon as practicable. Eligible Shareholders are encouraged to update their bank account details with the Share Registry via https://investor.automic.com.au/#/home.

2.2 Shortfall Offer

Shortfall
All New Shares under the Entitlement Offer not subscribed for by Eligible Shareholders pursuant to their Entitlement will comprise the Shortfall.
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Offer
Under the Shortfall Offer, Eligible Shareholders are invited to subscribe for the New Shares which comprise the Shortfall, at an issue price of $0.023 per New Share ( Shortfall Offer ).
The Shortfall Offer is a separate offer under this Offer Document.
The Company reserves the right to reject any Acceptance Form or to allocate any Eligible Shareholder fewer New Shares under the Shortfall than the number applied for.
The Company reserves the right to withdraw the Shortfall Offer at any time before New Shares are issued pursuant to it.
Please refer to Section 4 for details on how to apply for New Shares under the Shortfall Offer.
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Allocation policy and scale back
In the event that applications for New Shares under the Shortfall Offer exceed the total amount of the Shortfall, the Directors will have absolute discretion as to how to allocate the Shortfall under the Shortfall Offer. In exercising this discretion:
-
the Directors propose to allocate the Shortfall in a manner considered appropriate to applicants having regard to the best interests of the Company and the Company’s desire to maximise the funds raised from the Offers;
-
priority will be given to those Eligible Shareholders who hold less than a marketable parcel of Shares (that is, Shares with a value of less than $500, which based on the Offer Price, represents 21,739 Shares) so they may “top up” their shareholding to a marketable parcel of Shares;
-
subject to the above, the Directors will generally endeavour to allocate the Shortfall in a manner which is considered fair to those applicants, having regard to their existing shareholding interests;
-
the Directors will not allocate any portion of the Shortfall to an applicant who is a ‘related party’ of the Company (for the purposes of the Listing Rules) in priority to, or to the exclusion of, any other applicant, and in any event only to the extent permitted by the Listing Rules;
-
the Company will not allocate New Shares under the Shortfall Offer to the extent that the voting power in the Company of the applicant and their Associates (if known) exceeds the takeover thresholds in the Corporations Act (i.e., acquiring voting power of 20% or more in the Company, or increasing an existing controlling voting power of more than 20%); and
OFFER DOCUMENT – Non-Renounceable Rights Issue
Flexiroam Limited

Details of the Offers
- the Directors will not otherwise exercise their discretion regarding allocation of the Shortfall in a manner likely to exacerbate a potential unacceptable control effect, except to the extent they consider necessary (acting reasonably) to prevent the issue of New Shares contrary to law or the Listing Rules.
The Company cannot guarantee that Eligible Shareholders who apply under the Shortfall Offer will receive the number of New Shares applied for. If an Eligible Shareholder does not receive any or all of the New Shares subscribed for, the excess Application Moneys will be returned to them without interest.
2.3 Underwriting
The Offers are not underwritten.
2.4 Lead Manager
The Company has not appointed a lead manager to manage the Offers.
2.5 Timetable
The indicative timetable for the Offers is set out in the Key Information section on page 1.

By applying for New Shares under this Offer Document, including by submitting an Acceptance Form or making a payment using BPAY®, a nominee, trustee or custodian represents and warrants this is the case.
The Company is not required to determine whether or not a registered holder or investor is acting as a nominee, trustee or custodian or the identity or residence of any beneficial holder of Shares.

Dilution
The potential effect that the Offers could have on the control of the Company, and the consequences of that effect, will depend upon a number of factors, including investor demand and Existing Shareholdings.

Risk Factors
5. Risk Factors
5.1 Introduction
Investors wishing to subscribe for New Shares should read this Offer Document in its entirety in order to make an informed assessment of the Company and the rights attaching to New Shares.
Investors should carefully consider whether New Shares in the Company are an appropriate investment for them and should appreciate that the price of the Company’s Securities can fall as well as rise.
New Shares offered by this Offer Document should be viewed as speculative and, whilst the Directors commend the Offers, investors should be aware of, and take into account, the risk factors involved.
This Section is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the considerations to be taken into account by investors in deciding whether to subscribe for New Shares, nor all of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and actions, but many are outside the control of the Company and cannot be mitigated.
There are risks associated with investing in any form of business and with investing in the share market generally. All investors should consult their professional advisers if they are in any doubt as to any aspect of this Offer Document, the Offers or any other matter relating to an investment in the Company.
5.2 Company and industry specific risks
The following risks have been identified as being key risks specific to an investment in the Company and the industry in which it operates. These risks have the potential to have a significant adverse impact on the Company and may affect the Company’s financial position, prospects and price of its listed Securities.
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Potential for dilution
Upon implementation of the Offer, (assuming all Entitlements are accepted and no other Shares are issued including on exercise or conversion of Options prior to the Record Date), the number of Shares in the Company will increase from 660,607,192 Shares currently on issue to 704,647,672 Shares. This means that immediately after the Offer each Share will represent a lower proportion of the ownership of the Company.
It is not possible to predict what the value of the Company, a Share will be following the completion of the Offers being implemented and the Directors do not make any representation as to such matters.
The last trading price of Shares on ASX prior to the Offer Document being lodged of $0.026 is not a reliable indicator as to the potential trading price of Shares after implementation of the Offers.
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Litigation disputes
The Company may become party to various other legal disputes that arise in the ordinary course of its business.
The ability of the Company to achieve its objectives will depend on the performance by other parties to contracts which the Company may enter. If a party defaults in the performance of its obligations or a dispute otherwise arises in connection with such a contract, it may be necessary for the Company to approach a court to seek a legal

Risk Factors
remedy. Legal action can be costly and there can be no guarantee that a legal remedy will be ultimately granted on the appropriate terms.
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Competitive market
The industry in which the Company operates in is a highly dynamic and competitive market and is subject to both domestic and global competition. The Company’s competitors comprise mainly of telecommunication companies and resellers of travel SIMs in countries that the Company operates in and global roaming providers. The competitive pressures have increased in recent years with customers having multiple options of data roaming providers to select from and their decisions are typically based on price, quality of products and services, coverage and technology. Some of the Company’s competitors, especially telecommunication companies are large organisations with greater financial, technical and human resources. While the Company undertakes all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, the Company has no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, whose activities or actions may negatively impact the operating and financial performance of the Company.
Notwithstanding stiff competition, the Company continues to respond with customerfocused strategy, constant research and development into technology, high quality products and services, and improvements to cost structures. Review of competition and understanding of market and technology trends are also regularly carried out.
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Subscribers and customers acquisition
The long-term success of the Company is dependent upon its continuous ability to acquire new subscribers and to ensure retention of those subscribers as repeat users. Whilst the Company continues to devise various strategies including strategic alliances, marketing, promotions and pricing to achieve targeted subscribers and customer growth within the limit of available resources, there can be no assurance that the strategies adopted will be effective. There is no guarantee that the strategies will result in a successful sizeable take-up by customers. The costs incurred in acquiring and retaining customers have direct impact on the financial performance of the Company and there is a risk that revenue generated may not be sufficient to cover customer acquisition and operating costs.
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Cyber security
Cyber attack is of foremost concern as the Company relies heavily upon the proper functioning of the FlexiroamX App to provide services to existing customers and to attract new customers. Any attack by hackers on the FlexiroamX App could render the FlexiroamX App unavailable for use by customers or customers’ personal information could be compromised. Any attack may happen without warning and ranges in severity.
Any breach of security can have an extreme impact on the Company’s business and credibility with its clients. Although the Company has in place necessary cyber security measures to minimise and manage such attacks, there can be no assurance that such security strategies will be effective. Unavailability of the FlexiroamX App could harm the Company’s reputation and lead to a loss of revenue, while a compromise on customers’ information could hinder the Company’s ability to retain existing customers or attract new customers, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business.
==> picture [10 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Risks associated with strategic alliances
The Company’s sales and marketing initiatives for global market growth involve entering into strategic alliances with major corporates in the airline, insurance, travel and financial services industries to acquire global customers. Such strategic activities often require additional high investment costs to support customers and operations and may even require setting up physical presence in those countries thus incurring additional associated overheads and costs. There are risks that the strategic alliances may be

Risk Factors
unsuccessful due to operational challenges or the acquisition of subscribers and customers are lower than expected. Even if there is demand for the Company's products and services from such strategic alliances, revenue generated may not be sufficient to cover costs associated with these strategic alliances and as such could materially affect the working capital and profitability of the Company.
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Dependence on third party network providers
The Company’s business model is reliant upon third party network providers and the performance of those networks in the coverage country. The Company has support measures in place in the event of any network downtime or major network disruptions, aiming at providing customers with best possible solution and user experience. However, any network downtime or major network disruptions could materially impact connectivity and this may affect customer confidence and impact sales of the Company. Any prolonged disruption or failed relationship with any third party network could materially impact the future business performance of the Company.
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Dependence on devices
The Company’s products and services require the use of mobile phone or other similar devices. Accordingly, the business model of the Company is heavily dependent upon the existence and ownership of these devices. There can be no guarantee that these devices will continue to be as widely used as they currently are or that they will not be replaced by alternative devices upon which the Company’s technology can function.
==> picture [10 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Contractual third-party risk
The Company relies on third parties for key deliverables in its business model. These third-party providers include payment gateways, product suppliers and network providers. Any failure by one of these third parties to deliver on their commitment without an appropriate countermeasure could cause disruption to operations. The Company has adopted mitigating strategies including diversifying and not relying on single party providers and continually assesses such risk.
==> picture [10 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Staff risk
Attracting, nurturing and retaining high-calibre staff is vital for the successful execution of the future ambition of the Company. Any turnover of key staff involved in the business and development of the Company’s core technology and intellectual property may negatively impact the Company’s business performance and growth. Their departure may result in the loss of critical knowledge, knowhow and information and the replacement of such key staff members may require time and further training. The Company’s risk mitigation strategy involves creating a professional environment in which all staff members are able to progress personally and professionally with the Company.
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Protection of intellectual property rights
The Company has intellectual property protection plans but such plans may not be exhaustive enough for protection and defence. The legal standards relating to validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights are uncertain from country to country and effective patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available to the Company in all countries in which it has operations. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating its intellectual property. The Company may be required to incur significant expenses in monitoring and protecting its intellectual property rights and may initiate or otherwise be involved in litigation against third parties for infringement or to establish the validity of its rights. Any litigation, whether or not successful could result in significant expenses to the Company and cause a distraction to management.

Risk Factors

Failure to deal with rapid growth potential
The Company’s business has the potential for rapid growth globally. Failure to properly manage his growth potential could harm the business and resulting to loss of the opportunity to become a market leader. The Company will require scale-up strategies and other resources including availability of financial resources, development of new technologies, recruitment of talent, training, integration and management of the staff as well as the need to satisfy customer requirements, execute strategic business plan or respond to market competition pressure. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully manage this rapid growth potential opportunity.
==> picture [16 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Currency risk
The Company derives a majority of its revenue in the US dollars and have costs exposures mainly in US dollars, Australian dollars and Malaysian Ringgit. Accordingly, changes in the exchange rate between the American dollars, Australian dollar and Malaysian Ringgit will have direct effect on the performance of the Company.
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Reliance on distribution partners
Apart from strategic alliance partners and direct marketing, the Company’s business model also depends on distribution partners who sell the Company’s products and services globally. There is a risk that these partners will not perform within the expectations of the Company and this could potentially affect the financial performance of the Company.
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Government policy changes and legal risk
The Company’s customers are situated from over 200 countries and territories and the Company’s network covers over 200 countries and territories globally. The Company’s operations in the countries in which it operates will be governed by the applicable laws and regulations in those countries. Breaches or non-compliance with these laws and regulations could result in penalties and other liabilities. These may have a material adverse impact on the assets, operations, performance, growth prospects and share price of the Company. Any governmental action or policy changes in relation to aspects such as access to customers, intellectual property protection, trade restrictions and taxation may also adversely affect the Company. These laws and regulations may also be amended from time to time, and any changes thereto are outside of the control of the Company. In addition, there is a commercial risk that legal action may be taken against the Company in relation to commercial matters.
5.3 General investment risks
The business activities of the Company are subject to various general economic and investment risks that may impact on the future performance of the Company. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are outside the control of the Company and cannot be mitigated. There are a number of general economic and investment risk factors that apply to companies generally and may include economic, financial, market or regulatory conditions. These risk factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
==> picture [13 x 10] intentionally omitted <==
Future capital requirements
The Company’s ongoing activities are likely to require substantial further financing in the future for its business activities, in addition to amounts raised pursuant to the Offers. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders, may be undertaken at lower prices than the Offer Prices or may involve restrictive covenants which limit the Company’s operations and business strategy.
Although the Directors believe that additional capital can be obtained, there cannot be any assurance that appropriate capital or funding, if and when needed, will be available

Risk Factors
on terms favourable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce, delay or suspend its operations and which may result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s activities and its ability to continue as a going concern.
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Liquidity & volatility
There is a risk that, particularly in times of security market turbulence or negative investor sentiment, there will not be a highly liquid market for the Company’s Shares or that the price of the Company’s Shares may decrease considerably. There may be relatively few buyers or sellers of Securities on ASX at any given time and the market price may by highly volatile.
This may result in holders wishing to sell their Shares in the Company in circumstances where they may receive considerably less than the price paid under an Offer (where applicable).
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
General economic conditions
Economic conditions, both domestic and global, may affect the performance of the Company. Factors such as fluctuations in currencies, commodity prices, inflation, interest rates, supply and demand and industrial disruption may have an impact on operating costs and share market prices. The Company’s future possible revenues and Securities prices can be affected by these factors, all of which are beyond the control of the Company and its Directors.
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Equity market conditions
Shares listed on a securities market, and in particular shares of small companies at any early stage of commercial development, can experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that are often been unrelated to the operating performances of such companies. The market price of Shares may fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general. These security market conditions may affect the value of Shares regardless of the Company’s operating performance.
General factors that may affect the market price of Shares include economic conditions in both Australia and internationally, investor sentiment, local and international share market conditions, changes in interest rates and the rate of inflation, variations in commodity prices, the global security situation and the possibility of terrorist disturbances, changes to government regulation, policy or legislation, changes which may occur to the taxation of companies as a result of changes in Australian and foreign taxation laws, changes to the system of dividend imputation in Australia, and changes in exchange rates.
==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
General changes in government policy & legislation
Any material adverse changes in relevant government policies or legislation of Australia or internationally may affect the viability and profitability of the Company, and consequent returns to investors.
==> picture [10 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Investment risk
The New Shares offered pursuant to this Offer Document should be considered speculative due to the nature of the Company’s business. There cannot be any assurance as to payment of dividends, return of capital or the market value of New Shares. In particular, the price at which an investor may be able to trade New Shares may be above or below the price paid for those New Shares.

==> picture [13 x 11] intentionally omitted <==
Insurance
The Company intends to adequately insure its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances, the Company’s insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or only partially covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company.
