1. SECTION 1: DETAILS OF THE OFFER
1.1 The Offer
By this Prospectus, the Company is making offers to investors identified by the Directors for up to two (2) Shares at $0.075 per Share to raise up to $0.15 (before expenses).
All of the Shares issued under this Prospectus will rank equally with Shares on issue at the date of the Prospectus. Application Forms will only be provided by the Company to invited investors. All recipients of the Securities under the Offer will be sophisticated or professional investors (within the meaning of sections 708(8) and 708(11) of the Corporations Act, respectively), however no Securities will be issued under the Offer to Directors, related parties of the Company or any other person if the issue would breach the takeover prohibition in section 606 of the Corporations Act.
The Offer is conditional upon the Company achieving the minimum level of subscription for the Offer as set out in section 1.3. Satisfaction of the minimum subscription is a requirement of the Offer being two (2) Shares to raise approximately $0.15.
1.2 Purpose of the Prospectus
The Company is seeking to raise only a nominal amount of $0.15 (before costs) under the Offer and, accordingly, the purpose of this Prospectus is not to raise capital. The Directors intend to apply the proceeds from the Offer to expenses of the Offer.
The primary purpose of this Prospectus is to remove any trading restrictions that may be attached to Shares issued by the Company prior to the Closing Date, including Securities issued as approved by Shareholders at the general meeting of the Company held on 11 May 2021 as set out below:
-
(a) 5,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.02 per Share issued to Mr Iain Dunstan.
-
(b) 5,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.02 per Share issued to Mr Bryan Zekulich.
-
(c) 2,500,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.02 per Share issued to Mr Michael Hill.
-
(d) 12,000,000 Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.02 per Share issued to Novus Capital.
-
(e) 4,000,000 Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.02 per Share issued to Bombora.
-
(f) 5,791,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.04 per share issued to Mr Neil Joseph in lieu of previous Director fees owed to Mr Joseph.
-
(g) 9,000,000 Shares at a deemed issue price of $0.027 per Share to Mr Christopher Lawrance upon conversion of debt.
Further details about each issue of Shares listed above ( EGM Shares ) can be found in the Company's notice of general meeting dating 9 April 2021. Each of the EGM Shares rank equally with existing Shares on issue. A summary of the terms of the terms of existing Shares is set out in section 3.1.
Section 708A(5) of the Corporations Act provides that a sale offer does not need disclosure to investors if:
-
(a) the relevant securities are in a class of securities that were quoted securities at all times in the 3 months before the day on which the relevant securities were issued;
-
(b) trading in that class of securities on a prescribed financial market on which they were quoted was not suspended for more than a total of 5 days during the shorter of the period during which the class of securities were quoted, and the period of 12 months before the day on which the relevant securities were issued;
Page 9
-
(c) the Company has not been exempted by ASIC from the continuous disclosure provisions at any time during the relevant period referred to in paragraph (b);
-
(d) the Company or any person as director or auditor of the body has not been exempted from or received an instrument of modification in relation to the financial reporting provisions at any time during the relevant period referred to in paragraph (b); and
-
(e) (relevantly) the Company gives the relevant market operator for the Company a notice that complies with section 708A(6) of the Corporations Act before the sale offer is made.
The trading of the Company’s securities had been suspended since 29 July 2019. The Company recommenced trading on 26 February 2021. Accordingly, the Company has been suspended for more than 5 days during the past 12 months and therefore cannot rely on section 708A(5) of the Corporations Act to enable sale offers without disclosure to investors.
Section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act provides that a sale offer does not need disclosure to investors if:
-
(a) the relevant securities are in a class of securities that are quoted securities of the body; and
-
(b) either:
-
(i) a prospectus is lodged with ASIC on or after the day on which the relevant securities were issued but before the day on which the sale offer is made; or
-
(ii) a prospectus is lodged with ASIC before the day on which the relevant securities are issued and offers of securities that have been made under the prospectus are still open for acceptance on the day on which the relevant securities are issued; and
-
(c) the prospectus is for an offer of securities issued by the body that are in the same class of securities as the relevant securities.
This Prospectus has been prepared pursuant to section 708A(11)(b) of the Corporations Act primarily to remove any secondary sales restrictions on the sale of the any Shares issued prior to the Closing Date, as section 708A(11)(b)(i) of the Corporations Act removes secondary sale transactions where this Prospectus is lodged with ASIC on or after the day on which the EGM Shares and any Shares were issued but before the day on which the EGM Shares and any Shares are offered for sale.
This Prospectus has been issued to facilitate secondary trading of the Securities as they have been issued without disclosure to investors under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act. A prospectus is required under the Corporations Act to allow persons who were issued Securities the subject of this Prospectus to on-sell those Securities within 12 months of issue.
As the Corporations Act restricts trading in securities which are issued without a prospectus, the purpose of the Offer is to allow the holders of Shares issued prior to the Closing Date to trade them without restriction. The Company did not issue the Shares for the purpose of the persons to whom they are issued selling or transferring their Securities or interests in those Securities within 12 months of issue, but this Prospectus allows them to do so should they wish.
Therefore, the purpose of this Prospectus is to:
-
(a) make the Offer; and
-
(b) ensure that the on-sale of the EGM Shares and the Shares issued under this Prospectus do not breach section 707(3) of the Corporations Act by relying on the secondary trading provisions in section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act.
Page 10
1.3 Minimum Subscription
Each Offer is conditional upon the Company achieving the minimum subscription for the Offer, being two (2) Shares to raise approximately $0.15.
Satisfaction of the above condition is a requirement for the issue of Shares under the Offer. In the event that these conditions are not met within 4 months of the date of this Prospectus (or such period as varied by ASIC), all Application monies will be returned to Applicants without interest as soon as practicable thereafter and no Securities will be issued under the Offer.
1.4 Opening and Closing Dates
Subscription for the Offer will open on 9.00am AEDT on the Opening Date and remain open until 5.00pm AEDT on the Closing Date, subject to the right of the Directors to either close the Offer at an earlier time and date or to extend the Closing Date without prior notice, subject to the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules.

1.6 Application monies held on trust
All Application monies received for the Securities offered under this Prospectus will be held in trust in a bank account established solely for the purpose of depositing Application monies received pursuant to this Prospectus until the Securities are allotted. Application monies will be returned (without interest) if the Securities are not allotted. Any interest earned on the Application monies will be for the benefit of the Company and will be retained by the Company irrespective of whether grants take place and each applicant waives the right to claim any interest.

Page 11
1.8 Allotment of Securities and Application monies
Securities will be issued only after all Application monies have been received and ASX has granted permission for the Securities to the quoted. It is expected that Securities will be issued on 14 May 2021 and trading of the Securities on ASX is expected to commence on 14 May 2021. Holding statements for Securities issued under the Offer will be mailed as soon as practicable after they are issued.
The Directors will determine the allottees of all the Securities the subject of the Offer in their sole discretion. The Directors reserve the right to reject any Application or to allot any applicant fewer Securities than the number applied for.
Where the number of Securities allotted is less than the number applied for, the surplus monies will be returned by cheque as soon as practicable after the Closing Date. Where no allotment is made, the amount tendered on application will be returned in full by cheque as soon as practicable after the Closing Date. Interest will not be paid on monies refunded.
1.9 Underwriting
The Offer is not underwritten.
1.10 ASX listing
Application for Official Quotation of Securities issued pursuant to this Prospectus shall be made within 7 days after the date of this Prospectus. If ASX does not grant Official Quotation of Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus before the expiry of 3 months after the date of this Prospectus, or such other period as varied by ASIC, the Company shall not issue any Securities and shall repay all Application monies for the Securities within the period prescribed by the Corporations Act and without interest. The fact that the ASX may grant Official Quotation to the Securities is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Securities now offered for subscription.
1.11 Restrictions on the distribution of the Prospectus
The distribution of this Prospectus outside Australia may be restricted by law. The Offer does not, and is not intended to, constitute an offer in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus.
Residents of countries outside Australia should consult their professional advisers as to whether any government or other consents are required, or whether any formalities need to be observed should they wish to make an application to take up Securities on the basis of this Prospectus. The return of a duly completed Application Form will be taken to constitute a representation and warranty that there has been no breach of such laws and that all approvals and consents have been obtained.
1.12 Allotment
Acceptance of an Application by the Company creates a legally binding contract between the Applicant and the Company for the number of Securities for which the Application is accepted.
The Company will allot and issue the Securities offered by this Prospectus as soon as practicable after the grant of quotation of the Securities offered under this Prospectus.
Following the allotment and issue of the Securities, statements illustrating Applicants' shareholdings in the Company will be despatched. It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine their allocation prior to trading in the Securities. Applicants who sell Securities before they receive their holding statements will do so at their own risk.
Page 12
1.13 CHESS
The Company operates an electronic CHESS sub-register and an electronic issue sponsored sub-register. These two sub-registers will make up the Company’s register of Securities.
The Company will not issue certificates to security holders. Rather, holding statements (similar to bank statements) will be dispatched to security holders as soon as practicable after issue. Holding statements will be sent either by CHESS (for security holders who elect to hold Securities on the CHESS sub-register) or by the Company’s Share Registry (for security holders who elect to hold their Securities on the issuer sponsored sub-register). The statements will set out the number of Securities issued under this Prospectus and the Holder Identification Number (for security holders who elect to hold Securities on the CHESS sub register) or Shareholder Reference Number (for security holders who elect to hold their Securities on the issuer sponsored sub-register). Updated holding statements will also be sent to each security holder following the month in which the balance of their security holding changes, and also as required by the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act.
1.14 Professional advice
The Directors recommend that potential investors, when making an informed assessment of what will be the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses and prospects of the Company should read this Prospectus in its entirety.
Potential investors who have any questions about investing in the Company or are in any doubt about any matter relating to the Offer, should seek the advice of their professional advisers.
1.15 Taxation
As it is not possible for the Company to provide individual taxation advice to each potential investor applying for Securities under this Prospectus, the Directors consider that it is not appropriate to provide advice regarding the taxation consequences for each investor applying for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus, or the taxation consequences of the Company conducting the Offer.
The Company, its advisors and its officers do not accept any responsibility or liability for any such taxation consequences to Applicants. As a result, each Applicant should consult their professional tax adviser in connection with subscribing for Securities under this Prospectus.
1.16 Major activities and financial information
A summary of the major activities and financial information relating to the Company is included in the Annual Report, which was lodged with ASX of 4 November 2020. The Company's continuous disclosure notices (ASX announcements) since 4 November 2020 are listed in section 6.2 of this Prospectus.
Copies of these documents are available free of charge from the Company. Directors strongly recommend that Shareholders and potential investors review these and all other announcements prior to deciding whether or not to participate.
1.17 Enquiries
This document is important and should be read in its entirety. Persons who are in any doubt as to the course of action to be followed should consult their stockbroker, lawyer, accountant or other professional advisor without delay. Any questions concerning the Offer should be directed to the company secretary David Hwang at [email protected]
1.18 Withdrawal
The Company may at any time decide to withdraw this Prospectus and the Offer in which case the Company will return all Application monies without interest at the earliest practicable time.

2.2 Financial effect of the Offer
The financial effect of the Offer will, assuming that two (2) Shares are issued pursuant to the Offer, be that cash reserves (before costs) will increase by approximately $0.15.

2.3 Effect of the Offer on control
The Company will not issue Securities under the Offer to Directors, related parties of the Company or any other person if the issue would breach the takeover prohibition in section 606 of the Corporations Act. The potential dilutionary effect of the Offer is ~0%.
2.4 Dividend policy
The Directors may pay any interim and final dividends as, in their judgment, the financial position of the Company justifies. Subject to any rights attaching to Shares, the Directors may fix the amount, time for payment and method of payment of a dividend. However, the Company does not intend to declare and pay any dividends in the immediately foreseeable future.
Investors should be aware that no guarantee is given by the Company or the Directors as to the performance of the Company or as to the timing or amount of any dividend payment.

3. SECTION 3: RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES ATTACHING TO SECURITIES
3.1 Rights attaching to Shares
The Constitution sets out the internal rules of the Company. The section below summarises the material provisions of the Constitution, including the rights and liabilities attached to Shares. This summary is not intended to constitute an exhaustive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice. Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules and the Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours. The Shares to be issued under this Prospectus will rank equally with the existing Shares.
Issue of Shares
The issue of Shares by the Company is under the control of the Board, subject to the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules and any rights attached to any special class of Shares.
Transfer of Shares
Pursuant to the Constitution, a Shareholder may transfer a Shares as provided by an ASX settlement transfer or any other method of transferring securities introduced by ASX or operated in accordance with the ASX Settlement Operating Rules or ASX Listing Rules, or an instrument in writing approved by the Directors.
The Company participates in the securities registration and transfer system known as CHESS. Under CHESS, the Company may issue holding statements in lieu of share certificates. The Company is not permitted to charge any fee for registering a transfer of Securities. The Directors may refuse to register a transfer of Securities only if the refusal would not contravene the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules or breach any escrow agreement entered into by the Company under the ASX Listing Rules.
Variation of Shares
The rights attached to any class of Shares may, unless their terms of issue state otherwise, be varied or cancelled with the written consent of 75% of the holders of issued Shares of the affected class or authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares of the affected class.
Meetings of members (general meetings)
The Directors may call a meeting of members whenever they think fit.
Members may call a meeting in accordance with the Corporations Act. The Constitution contains provisions prescribing the content requirements for notices of meetings sent to members. All members are entitled to attend. A quorum for a general meeting is two (2) members who are eligible to vote at the general meeting.
The Company will hold an annual general meeting in accordance with the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.
Voting rights
Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any Shares or class of Shares of the Company, each Shareholder, whether present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative at a meeting of Shareholders, has one vote on a show of hands and one vote on a poll for each fully paid share held and a fraction of a vote for each partly paid share, equivalent to the proportion paid up on that Share. Resolutions of members will be decided by a show of hands unless a poll is demanded.
Directors
The business of the Company is to be managed by or under the direction of the Directors. The Company must have at least three (3) Directors and not more than nine (9). The Board may appoint a person to be a Director at any
Page 15
time, but any such Director must retire at the next annual general meeting (at which meeting he or she may be eligible for election as Director).
The Company at a general meeting may elect Directors by ordinary resolution.
At each annual general meeting, one-third of the Directors shall retire, provided that no Directors but a managing director may hold office for a period in excess of three (3) years or until the third annual general meeting following their appointment, whichever is longer, without submitting themselves for re-election.
Winding Up
On a winding up of the Company a liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution of the Shareholders, divide among the Shareholders the property of the Company in proportion to the Shares held by them. The liquidator may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the members or different classes of members.

4. SECTION 4: RISK FACTORS
There are a number of risk factors that may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future operating and financial performance.
The Gratifii Group’s underlying business model and the sustainability of such a business model are arguably unproven. Therefore, the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus are to be considered a speculative investment.
The following summary explains some of the risks associated with investment in the Company and which may impact upon the financial performance of the Gratifii Group and the Company. This section refers to risks which are specific to the Company and the industry and jurisdiction in which it operates, and also details general investment risks which may affect the Company and an investment in the Company. However, potential investors should read this Prospectus in its entirety and consult their professional advisers before applying for Shares under this Prospectus. The list of risk factors outlined here are not exhaustive.
Neither the Company, nor its Directors nor any of its professional advisers give any form of guarantee on future dividends, return on capital or the price at which the Shares might trade on ASX.
Investors should carefully consider the non-exhaustive list of risks associated with investing in the Company that are outlined below, and consult with their professional advisors before making an investment in the Company.
4.1 Company-specific risk factors
(a) Crowded space
The Company, through the Gratifii Group, has developed a range of software platforms and mobile applications that can be utilised as customer relationship management platforms. The Company competes with other companies in a mature market place. Some of these competitors have greater financial and human resource capability than the Company, and as a result may be in a better position to compete and provide services. Although the Gratifii Group has developed a comprehensive and proprietary technology portfolio, there is no guarantee that this value proposition will provide the Company with a competitive advantage over its competitors. There is no assurance that the activities of existing competitors or the entrance of new competitors will not adversely affect the Company’s operating results and financial performance, or that the Gratifii Group and the Company will be able to keep up with technological developments or fluctuating market conditions as effectively as their competitors. Any adverse impact to the Gratifii Group’s operating results and financial performance is likely to have a similarly adverse effect to the financial performance and operating results of the Company.
(b) New entrants and existing competitors replicate the Company platform
The Gratifii Group business model requires extensive merchant networks and consumer adoption to be successful. While the Gratifii Group aims to be a dominant supplier of consumer engagement technologies in the three regions in which it presently operates, there is no assurance that a competitor with significant financial resources cannot copy what the Gratifii Group has done or bring an alternative product to the market. If new entrants or existing competitors replicate the Gratifii Group’s platforms, the financial performance of the Company is likely to be adversely affected.
(c) Privacy regulations
The Gratifii Group takes consumer privacy seriously and has strategies and protections in place to minimise security breaches and to protect data. However, there is no guarantee that these security measures could not be breached. If consumer privacy is breached, the Company may suffer reputational damage or be subject to an action from consumers or regulatory authorities, which is likely to impact the Company’s financial results.
(d) Data security
Page 17
The Gratifii Group has strategies and protections in place to minimise security breaches and to protect data. However, there is no guarantee that these security measures could not be breached. If the Gratifii Group’s security measures are breached or the programs are subject to any form of cyber-attacks, then consumers may stop using the products, and the Company may suffer significant reputational damage.
(e) Management and staff
The Gratifii Group’s operational success depends on the continuing efforts and retention of its management team and staff. If the Gratifii Group and Company is not able to attract and retain new team members, the business may be adversely affected.
(f) Intellectual property
The Company, through the Gratifii Group, has developed and owns all of its products and software. The Company has copyright protection over its products and software, but none of these are patentable. These products are complex and work across a number of internet, smart phone platforms and software operating systems and so are difficult to recreate; but this will not prevent others from copying the Company’s solutions. If the Company’s intellectual property rights cannot be protected, have not been protected adequately or are not protected, competitors may utilise the Company’s intellectual property, which may adversely affect the Company’s ability to compete effectively in the market and the Company’s financial performance.
While the Company has not, to the best of its knowledge, infringed any third parties’ intellectual property rights, the Company may, in the future, face intellectual property infringement claims or litigation. If third parties claim involvement in developing the technology used in the Company’s products, or if the Company infringes third party intellectual property, the Company’s operations and financial performance may be adversely affected.
(g) Third party platforms
The Gratifii Group’s products are reliant on stable internet and 3G, 4G and 5G mobile services.
The Company’s performance is therefore dependent on the ability of its staff and products to continue to develop and operate on these platforms. Any changes in these platforms and operating systems may adversely affect the Company’s ability to deliver services.
(h) Dependence on the internet
The successful continuation of the Gratifii Group’s various product offerings will depend to an extent on the continued use of the internet as a communications and commerce platform. A delay in the development or adoption of new standards and protocols may cause the internet to become a less viable business tool due to its failure to meet activity, security, reliability, ease of access, cost and quality of service requirements of consumers.
Viruses and similar programs may harm the performance and acceptability of the internet as a business tool. If the internet does not remain a widespread communications medium regularly used for business and commerce, the demand for the Gratifii Group’s products and services would be significantly reduced, impacting the Company’s financial performance.
(i) Retention of customers
As well as attracting new customers, the Gratifii Group must also retain existing customers to maintain its current cash flows and operations. As with any business, the Company faces the risk of losing customers to competitors.
(j) Sovereign risk
The Gratifii Group’s activities are subject to certain risks associated in operating in foreign countries, including South Africa and Singapore. These risks may include economic, social or political instability or change, hyperinflation or instability and changes of law affecting foreign ownership, taxation, working conditions, repatriation of income or return of capital and labour relations as well as government regulations that may require
Page 18
the employment of local staff or contractors or require other benefits to be provided to local residents. The risk of terrorism activities is a real risk in most jurisdictions in the world, and may affect the international operations of the Company.
(k) Foreign exchange risk
As a globally focused company, the Company (through the Gratifii Group) will be exposed to currency price fluctuations between Australia and Singapore, Australia and South Africa (and/or Australia and any other jurisdiction in which the Company operates its business going forward, including the United States, the United Kingdom and South Korea). The Company’s potential exposure relates to foreign exchange rate fluctuations and foreign exchange charges which may result in the price of the Company’s securities to fluctuate for reasons unrelated to the Company’s financial condition or performance.
(l) Material agreement risk
The success of the Gratifii Group’s proposed future strategy is reliant on counterparty performance under the material contracts to which the Company (or other Gratifii Group companies) are a party. The Company is substantially dependent on these counterparties continuing to perform and fulfil their obligations under their relevant arrangements with the Company or its subsidiaries. Further, due to the nature of existing contracts, some contracts are terminable at short notice. This means there is a possibility that existing contracts, and therefore existing revenue streams may disappear from the Company's business at short notice.
(m) Risk of software errors
If the Company fails to identify bugs, operating errors or other defects in this software products, these products may not perform properly, causing reputational damage. If the Company identifies errors in its software products, the Company may need to provide updates or software patches to correct these errors, which may be costly and time consuming.
(n) Ongoing product development, operation, maintenance and support
The Company may need to invest in continued product development and innovation to retain its current user base and engage new users. Regulatory changes, technological advances and competitor activity may also require the Company to develop new products or update existing products. Any increase in operating costs, maintenance costs or support costs may diminish revenues or may lead to delays in introducing new products to the market, which may adversely affect the Company’s financial and business performance.
4.2 General investment risks
Some of the general risks of investment which are considered beyond the control of the Company and the Gratifii Group are as follows:
(a) COVID-19 pandemic
The World Health Organisation declared the coronavirus disease ( COVID-19 ) a pandemic on 11 March 2020. COVID-19 has and continues to impact global economic and equity markets in unpredictable ways, therefore the full financial effects and the duration of those effects is unknown. As a result, the Company's operations and therefore revenue may be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic as well as any responses or initiatives from government or industry designed to mitigate the effects of COVID-19.
(b) The state of Australian and international economies
A downturn in the Australian and/or the international economy may negatively impact the performance of the Gratifii Group, which in turn may negatively impact the value of securities in the Company. Any deterioration in local economic conditions in Australia or wider regional economic conditions may have an adverse effect on the performance of the Company. The Company’s revenues may be negatively influenced by changes in regional or local economic variables and consumer confidence in Australia and internationally. Unemployment rates, levels of
Page 19
personal disposable income and regional or local economic conditions may adversely affect consumer spending, decreasing demand for the Gratifii Group’s products.
(c) Changes to government policies and legislative changes
Government policy and legislative changes which are outside the control of the Company may also have a negative impact on the financial performance of the Company.
(d) Movements in local and international stock markets
The price of stocks in a publicly listed company can be highly volatile and the value of a company’s securities can be expected to fluctuate depending on various factors, including stock market sentiment, government policies, investor perceptions, economic conditions and market conditions which affect the technology industry. It is therefore possible that the Company’s securities will trade at below the offer price.
(e) The Company’s on-going funding requirements
Further funding may be required by the Company to develop the Gratifii Group’s business model and commercial activities. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise the additional required funding on a timely basis, on favourable terms or that such further funding will be sufficient to enable the Company to implement its planned commercial strategy. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations or scale back its research and development activities and its marketing activities, as the case may be, which may inhibit growth and development opportunities for the Gratifii Group and adversely affect the business and financial condition of the Company and its performance. Further, the Company may not be able to maintain access to capital markets in order to fund unforeseen expenditure or to undertake further development of the Gratifii Group’s business.
(f) Investment speculative
The Company is an early-stage company. The profitability and sustainability of the Company’s business model is therefore uncertain and an investment in the Company therefore constitutes a speculative investment.
(g) Potential acquisitions
As part of its business strategy, the Company or other entities in the Gratifii Group may make acquisitions or significant investments in other companies or enterprises. Any such future transactions would be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making acquisitions of companies or enterprises. Further, there is no guarantee that the Company will make any future acquisitions.
(h) Insurance risk
The Company may, where economically practicable and available, endeavour to mitigate some business risks by procuring relevant insurance cover. However, such insurance cover may not always be available or economically justifiable and the policy provisions and exclusions may render a particular claim by the Company outside the scope of the insurance cover. While the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in assessing the creditworthiness of its insurance providers there will remain the risk that an insurer defaults in the legitimate claim by the Company under an insurance policy. Insurance against all risks associated with the Company’s business operations is not always available and where available the cost may be prohibitive.
(i) Reliance on key personnel
Senior management and key personnel of the Company shall direct the Company’s operations and provide strategic management. However, if key employees cease to be employed there may be a detrimental impact to the Company.
(j) Force majeure risk
Page 20
Force majeure events, such as riot, war, invasion, act of foreign enemies, hostilities (whether war be declared or not), acts of terrorism, requisition or compulsory acquisition by any governmental or competent authority, earthquakes, flood, fire or other physical natural disaster and strikes or industrial disputes at a national level, may adversely affect the Company’s operations.
(k) Shareholder dilution
In the future, the Company may opt to issue shares or other securities in connection with further capital raisings or acquisitions. While any future issues of securities will be subject to the ASX Listing Rules and any applicable laws, Shareholders’ existing shareholdings in the Company may be diluted as a result of any such future issue of securities.

6. SECTION 6: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
6.1 Transaction Specific Prospectus
The Company is a “disclosing entity” (as defined in Section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of Section 713 of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company’s securities.
This Prospectus is a “transaction specific prospectus”. In general terms a “transaction specific prospectus” is only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on the Company and the rights attaching to the securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.
This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company, which has been notified to the ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.
Having taken such precautions and made reasonable enquiries, the Company believes that it has complied with the continuous disclosure requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the 3 months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of specified events or matters at the time at which they arose for the purpose of making such information available to the securities market conducted by ASX.
Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.
The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act states that:
-
(a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;
-
(b) copies of documents lodged with ASIC in relation to the Company (not being documents referred to in section 1274(2)(a) of the Corporations Act) may be obtained from, or inspected at, an office of ASIC; and
-
(c) the Company will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the Closing Date:
-
(i) the annual financial report most recently lodged by the Company with ASIC;
-
(ii) any half-year financial report lodged by the Company with ASIC after lodgement of the annual financial report and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC; and
-
(iii) any continuous disclosure documents given by the Company to ASX in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules as referred to in section 674(1) of the Corporations Act after the lodgement of the annual financial report and before lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC.
Copies of all documents lodged with ASIC in relation to the Company can be inspected at the registered office of the Company or an ASIC office during normal office hours.
There is no information which has been excluded from a continuous disclosure notice in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules that investors or their professional advisors:
-
(a) would reasonably require for the purpose of making an informed assessment of:
-
(i) the assets and liabilities, financial position and performance, profits and losses and prospects of the Company; and
Page 24
-
(ii) the rights and liabilities attaching to the Securities the subject of this Prospectus; and
-
(b) would reasonably expect to find in this Prospectus.
-
6.2 ASX information and Share information
The Company will provide free of charge to any person who requests it during the period of the Offer, a copy of:
-
(a) the Annual Report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2020 containing the financial statements of the Company for the financial year ended 2020, being the last financial year for which financial statements were lodged with ASIC in relation to the Company on 4 November 2020; and
-
