NOTICE UNDER SECTION 708A(12C)(E) OF THE CORPORATIONS ACT 2001 (Cth)

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO ANY PERSON OR ADDRESS IN THE UNITED STATES

1 PURPOSE OF THIS NOTICE

This cleansing notice ( Cleansing Notice ) is given jointly by Harmoney Corp Limited (NZCN 5177041; ARBN 645 036 595; ASX:HMY) ) ( Harmoney or the Company ) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Harmoney Australia Pty Ltd (ACN 604 342 823) ( Issuer ) under section 708A(12J) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Corporations Act ) and complies with section 708A(12K), as notionally inserted by ASIC Instrument 21-1072 ( ASIC Exemption ).

The ASIC Exemption is technical relief which has been given by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission ( ASIC ) from the on-sale restrictions of the Corporations Act so that any ordinary securities issued on conversion of convertible securities can be on-sold without a prospectus provided that a cleansing notice containing certain prescribed information is provided to ASX Limited (ABN 98 008 624 691) ( ASX ) at or just prior to the time the convertible securities are issued.

The convertible securities referred to in section 2 of this Cleansing Notice will be issued by the Issuer without disclosure to investors under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act. Each convertible security is a ‘convertible note’ within the meaning of the Corporations Act.

The purpose of this Cleansing Notice is to enable the fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ( Shares ) that may be issued on the conversion of the convertible securities to be on-sold to retail investors without a prospectus in accordance with the ASIC Exemption.

This Cleansing Notice is an important document and should be read in its entirety. No offer or invitation is made pursuant to this Cleansing Notice for any person to subscribe for or apply to acquire any of the convertible notes, or other securities issued by the Company or the Issuer. You are not required to do anything in response to this notice. Neither ASIC nor ASX takes any responsibility for the contents of this Cleansing Notice.

2 BACKGROUND

The Company announced on 29 December 2021, the signing of a A$20 million financing package ( Facility ) involving, in part, the issue of secured convertible securities up to an aggregate amount of A$8 million ( Convertible Notes ) by the Issuer to certain wholesale investors within Australia and in certain foreign jurisdictions ( Investors ). Each of the Investors are professional investors or sophisticated investors for the purposes of section 708 of the Corporations Act.

1

From the closing of the Facility, the Investors are required to advance to the Issuer up to A$20 million ( Facility Amount ) and the Issuer is required to issue Convertible Notes to the Investors with an aggregate face value of up to A$8 million with a term of 36 month (with the option to extend the term to 42 months) on the terms set out in the Loan Note Subscription Agreement entered into between, amongst others , the Issuer, the Company and the Investors and dated 24 December 2021 ( Subscription Agreement ).

The Convertible Notes and any Shares to be issued on conversion of the Convertible Notes will be issued under the Company’s available placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The directors of the Company consider that the raising of capital by the issue of the Convertible Notes on the terms of the Subscription Agreement is in the best interests of the Company and the Issuer.

3 The effect of the issue on the Company and Issuer

3.1 Summary

The principal effects of the issue by the Issuer of the Convertible Notes, and any subsequent issue by the Company of Shares on conversion of the Convertible Notes, on the Company and the Issuer will be as follows:

  • (a) the Issuer will issue the Convertible Notes;

  • (b) the issue of the Convertible Notes will:

  • (i) increase the Harmoney Group’s cash reserves by a maximum of A$20 million (before any expenses associated with the issue of the Convertible Notes);

  • (ii) impose on the Company (and certain of its subsidiaries, including the Issuer) obligations (financial or otherwise) and restrictions in relation to its business operations aimed protecting the interests of the Investors under the terms of the Subscription Agreement;

  • (iii) increase the Harmoney Group’s indebtedness by an amount equal to A$20 million plus all accrued and unpaid interest;

  • (c) the Issuer may elect to redeem the outstanding value of the Convertible Notes in certain customary circumstances provided that if the Convertible Notes were to be redeemed prior to their stated maturity date, the Company must grant to the Investors a call option to subscribe for the number of Shares that will be determined by reference to the aggregate face value of the outstanding Convertible Notes, such call option to be exercisable by the option holders during an exercise period referable to the remaining term of the Convertible Notes as if the Convertible Notes were not redeemed early;

  • (d) the Investors may elect to convert the Convertible Notes to Shares at any time during the term of the Convertible Notes; and

  • (e) if the Convertible Notes are converted to Shares, either in whole or in part, the issue of Shares will increase the number of Shares on issue. This will dilute existing Shareholders and will decrease the Harmoney Group’s indebtedness accordingly. The potential effect of the conversion and the issue of Shares on the Company’s capital structure is shown in further detail below.

3.2 Rights and liabilities attaching to the Convertible Notes

A summary of the key rights and liabilities attaching to the Convertible Notes is set out in Schedule 1 of this Cleansing Notice. That summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of the Investors.

Dividend rights

Variation of rights

The rights attaching to the Shares may only be varied by the consent in writing of the holders of 75% of the Shares, or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a general meeting.

Transfer of Shares

Subject to the Company’s Constitution, the Companies Act 1993 (NZ) ( Companies Act ), the ASX Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules, Shares may be transferred.

Issue of further Shares

Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and any rights and restrictions attached to Shares, the board of the Company has full discretion to issue, consolidate or subdivide Shares and grant options over unissued Shares.

General meetings

Subject to any restrictions in the Company’s Constitution, the Companies Act and any rights or restrictions attached to any class or classes of Shares, each shareholder is entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at, general meetings of the Company and to receive all notices, reports, accounts and other documents required to be sent to Shareholders under the Company’s Constitution, the Companies Act and the ASX Listing Rules.

3.4 Pro forma balance sheet of the Company taking into account issue of the Convertible Notes

Set out below is a pro forma consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2021 for the Company, based on the consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2021 for the Company and adjusted to reflect the issue of Convertible Notes issued by the Issuer (exclusive of costs), and prepared on the basis of the accounting policies normally adopted by the Company.

This table should be read in conjunction with the last audited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2021.

The following adjustments and assumptions have been made in relation to the table:

  • (a) The pro forma financial information is presented in an abbreviated form and does not include all of the disclosures required by the New Zealand equivalents to the International Financial Reporting Standards applicable to the annual financial statements. The pro forma financial information is not audited.

  • (b) Cash proceeds of up to A$20 million arising from the drawdown of funds under the Facility, including from the issue of the Convertible Notes, have been recognised. The Convertible Notes have been provisionally accounted for as financial liabilities and presented in non-current borrowings.

  • (c) The provisional accounting for the Convertible Notes and allocations between liabilities and equity may change in the future.

  • (d) Transaction costs have not been included. However, when incurred they will reduce the carrying amount of the liability and be amortised over the life of the Convertible Notes.

  • (e) The adjustments are reflected at an NZD/AUD exchange rate of 0.9500.

3.5 Potential effect on capital structure

The effect of conversion of the Convertible Notes on the Company’s issued share capital will depend on what portion (if any) of the Convertible Notes are converted to Shares at any one time.

As at the date of this Cleansing Notice, the issued capital of the Company and warrants and performance rights held in respect of the Company, including the Convertible Notes, is as follows:

Type of security Securities on issue
as at the date of
this Cleansing
Notice
Number on issue
on date of Closing
of Subscription
Agreement
Number on issue
assuming full
conversion of the
Convertible Notes
Shares 101,018,964 101,018,964 104,352,297
Warrants 181,364 181,364 181,364
Performance Rights 8,696,000 8,696,000 8,696,000
Convertible Notes 0 8,000,000 0

The Convertible Notes are convertible into Shares at the conversion price at A$2.40 per share.

5

Assuming that all Convertible Notes are converted at the conversion price of A$2.40 per share, then the number of Shares issued on conversion would be 3,333,333 Shares (exclusive of any Shares that could be issued on conversion of any accrued, but unpaid, interest).

The actual effect on the capital structure of the Company will differ depending on how many Convertible Notes are converted. As at the date of this Cleansing Notice, no Convertible Notes have been converted.

3.6 Potential effect on control of the Company

The table below shows the indicative percentage ownership of Shares by the Investors if all of the Convertible Securities are converted to Shares. This table is illustrative only and the actual number of Shares that may be issued on conversion of the Convertible Securities will depend on the circumstances at the time of conversion (e.g. in circumstances where the Investor elects to convert due to a change of control of the Company). The table below is also based on the number of Shares issued by the Company on the date of this Cleansing Notice.

An Investor must convert all the Convertible Notes held by it in one
exercise of the conversion option.
Redemption by the
Issuer:
The Issuer may redeem some or all of the outstanding Convertible Notes

the Early Termination Fee and each Investor being granted a call
option to subscribe for the Shares (see below for the description of
the call option); and

-
if any Obligor (Issuer or a Guarantor) disposes any of its assets

circumstances:

on early redemption of the Convertible Notes as set out above;

on the repayment of the Convertible Notes following the
occurrence of an Event of Default (other than in respect of the
insolvency, insolvency proceedings, unlawfulness, Material

any other early termination; for example, due to illegality.
The amount of the EDF payable is set out below. If the early redemption

aggregate interest amount that would have been payable from
the early redemption date to the maturity date discounted by
25%;

Closing Date, the EDF is the aggregate interest amount that
would have been payable from the early redemption date to the
maturity date discounted by 50%;

between the second anniversary and the third anniversary of the
Closing Date, the EDF is 1% of the Face Value of the

of the 30 day period, then the Investors who together hold more than
50.1% of all securities issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement
(Majority Investors) may declare all amounts outstanding under the
Subscription Agreement (including all amounts outstanding under the
Convertible Notes) (Outstanding Amount) to be due and payable and
the Issuer will be required to redeem all outstanding within 60 Business
Days of notice being provided by or on behalf of the Majority Investors.

Company must grant each Investor a call option to subscribe for the

3

Deed).
The key terms of the call options are as follows:

an Investor shall be entitled to exercise the call option to
subscribe for a number of shares on the “Exercise Completion
Date” determined by dividing (x) the aggregate principal amount
of the Securities (together with accrued and unpaid interest
thereon) held by that Investor prior to their redemption and (y)
the pre-determined Exercise Price in accordance with the terms
of the Call Option Deed;

an Investor may exercise the call option to subscribe for the
Shares (by itself or by a Nominee) by delivering to the Company
an Exercise Notice specifying, among other matters, the
proposed Exercise Completion Date;

under the Call Option Deed, if at the time of exercise of the call
option the Fair Market Value of a share exceeds the Exercise
Price, the Investor may elect in the Exercise Notice to subscribe
for and receive a reduced number of shares calculated as
follows for no cash consideration:
X = Y*(A-B) / A
Where:
Xis the number of Option Shares to be issued to the
Investor
Yis the number of Option Shares that the Investor
would have received if it had exercised the Call Option
and paid the subscription price in cash
Ais the Fair Market Value of one share
Bis the Exercise Price

ASX for shares (as published or derived from ASX or such other
source as the Company may determine) on the last trading day
on which ASX is open for business immediately before the date
that a validly completed and duly executed Exercise Notice is
given to the Company.

The Call Option Deed sets out rights for the exercise, or
deemed exercise, of the call option if a “Control Event” has
occurred, being:
(a) all shares are delisted from the ASX (separate to the
occurrence of an Acquisition); or
(b) an Acquisition occurs (as such term is defined in the Call
Option Deed).

4


In the case of a Control Event relating to the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Group or a delisting of all
the Shares from the ASX, the Investors may require the
Company to buy-back the call option (provided that the
Company is only required to buy-back the call option where the
Company has available funds as a result of the Control Event to
fund the buy-back as well as to meet its ongoing working capital
requirements) for an aggregate price which is equal to:
A = (B – C) x D
where:
Ais amount payable to the Investor;
Bis the highest price per share that the purchaser pays
on implementation of the Control Event;
Cis the Exercise Price in respect of each Option Share;
and
Dis the number of Option Shares for which the call
option is exercisable.
