-
(a) two (2) Shares at $0.075 per Share to raise up to $0.15 (before expenses); and
-
(b) two (2) Quoted Options at an issue price of $0.001 each, exercisable on or before 30 June 2021, to raise $0.002 (before expenses).
All of the Shares issued under this Prospectus will rank equally with Shares on issue at the date of the Prospectus. All of the Quoted Options offered under this Prospectus will rank equally with the Company's existing Quoted Options. Application Forms will only be provided by the Company to invited investors. All recipients of the Securities under the Offers will be sophisticated or professional investors (within the meaning of section 708(8) and 708(11) of the Corporations Act , respectively), however no Securities will be issued under the Offers 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 .
Each Offer is conditional upon the Company achieving the minimum level of subscription for each Offer as set out in section 1.3. Satisfaction of the minimum subscription is a requirement of the Offers being two (2) Shares to raise approximately $0.15 (in the case of the Share Cleansing Offer) and two (2) Quoted Options to raise $0.002 (in the case of the Option Cleansing Offer).
1.2 Purpose of the Prospectus
The Company is seeking to raise only a nominal amount of $0.15 (before costs) under the Share Cleansing Offer and $0.002 under the Option Cleansing Offer and, accordingly, the purpose of this Prospectus is not to raise capital. The Directors intend to apply the proceeds from the Offers to expenses of the Offers.
The primary purpose of this Prospectus is to remove any trading restrictions that may be attached to Shares and Quoted Options 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 27 November 2020 as set out below:
-
(a) 2,729,970 Shares at an issue price of $0.02 per Share issued to Lakeba Ventures upon conversion of debt owed to Lakeba Ventures.
-
(b) 787,491 Shares at an issue price of $0.02 per Share issued to Iain Dunstan upon conversion of debt owed to Mr Iain Dunstan.
-

-
(d) 1,500,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.02 per Share issued to Dr Alberto Basile in lieu of previous Director fees owed to Dr Basile.
-

-
(i) 666,666 Shares at an issue price of $0.075 per Share and 666,666 Director Loan Free Attaching Options issued to a representative of the Fisher estate in satisfaction of the loan between the Company and the late, former Director of the Company, David Fisher.
-
(j) 6,750,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.02 per Share issued to Aubrey Sonnenberg upon conversion of debt owed to Mr Sonnenberg.
-
(k) 10,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.02 per Share to Lakeba Ventures to raise capital.
-
(l) 200,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.02 per Share issued to sophisticated and professional investors to raise capital.
Further details about each issue of Shares listed above ( EGM Shares ) and the Director Loan Free Attaching Options can be found in the Company's notice of general meeting dating 28 October 2020. 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.
The Director Loan Free Attaching Options rank equally with existing Quoted Options. A summary of the terms of the Quoted Options is set out in section 3.2.
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;
-
(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 has been suspended since 29 July 2019. 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.
Page 10
This Prospectus has been prepared pursuant to section 708A(11)(b) primarily to remove any secondary sales restrictions on the sale of the any Shares and Quoted Options issued prior to the Closing Date, as section 708A(11)(b)(i) removes secondary sale transactions where this Prospectus is lodged with ASIC on or after the day on which the EGM Shares, Director Loan Free Attaching Options and any Shares or Quoted Options were issued but before the day on which the EGM Shares, Director Loan Free Attaching Options and any Shares or Quoted Options 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 Offers is to allow the holders of Shares and Quoted Options issued prior to the Closing Date to trade them without restriction. The Company did not issue the Shares and Quoted Options 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 Offers; and
-
(b) ensure that the on-sale of the EGM Shares, Director Loan Free Attaching Options and the Shares and Quoted Options 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 .
1.3 Minimum Subscription
Each Offer is conditional upon the Company achieving the minimum subscription for that Offer, being two (2) Shares to raise approximately $0.15 (in the case of the Share Cleansing Offer) and two (2) Quoted Options to raise $0.002 (in the case of the Option Cleansing Offer).
Satisfaction of the above conditions is a requirement for the issue of Shares under the Share Cleansing Offer and Quoted Options under the Options Cleansing 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 respective Offers.
1.4 Opening and Closing Dates
Subscription for the Offers 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 Offers at an earlier time and date or to extend the Closing Date without prior notice, subject to the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules.
1.5 Applications for Securities – How to Apply
Applications for Securities offered by this Prospectus may only be made on the Application Forms, which will be provided with a copy of this Prospectus by the Company at the Company's discretion, in accordance with the instructions set out in the Application Form.

An Application for Securities may be accepted in full, for any lesser number, or rejected by the Directors. If any Application is rejected, in whole or in part, the relevant Application monies will be returned without interest.
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.
1.7 Oversubscription
No oversubscription for the Offers will be accepted by the Company.
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 24 October 2019 and trading of the Securities on ASX is expected to commence on 24 October 2019. Holding statements for Securities issued under the Offers 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 Offers 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 Offers are 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.
Page 12
1.11 Restrictions on the distribution of the Prospectus
The distribution of this Prospectus outside Australia may be restricted by law. The Offers do not, and are 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.
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.

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 Mobecom 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 Mobecom 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
Risks specific to an investment in the Company
(a) Crowded space
The Company, through the Mobecom 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 Mobecom 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 Mobecom 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 Mobecom 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 Mobecom Group business model requires extensive merchant networks and consumer adoption to be successful. While the Mobecom 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 Mobecom Group has done or bring an alternative product to the market. If new entrants or existing competitors replicate the Mobecom Group’s platforms, the financial performance of the Company is likely to be adversely affected.
(c) Privacy regulations
The Mobecom Group takes consumer privacy very 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.
Page 20
(d) Data security
The Mobecom 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 Mobecom 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 Mobecom Group’s operational success depends on the continuing efforts and retention of its management team and staff. If the Mobecom 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 Mobecom 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 Mobecom 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 Mobecom 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 Mobecom 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 Mobecom 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 Mobecom 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,
Page 21
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 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 Mobecom 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 Mobecom Group’s proposed future strategy is reliant on counterparty performance under the material contracts to which the Company (or other Mobecom 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 Mobecom 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 Mobecom 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
Page 22
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 personal disposable income and regional or local economic conditions may adversely affect consumer spending, decreasing demand for the Mobecom 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 Mobecom 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 Mobecom 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 Mobecom 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 Mobecom 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.
Page 23
(j) Force Majeure Risk
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 27
-
(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 Offers, 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
