CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Dear Shareholder

Rights Issue Offer

On behalf of the directors of Shoply, I am pleased to present you with an opportunity to participate in a renounceable pro-rata rights issue to raise approximately $1.8 million, before costs and expenses (" Rights Issue ").

The Rights Issue offers Shareholders the right to take up one New Share for every five Shares held as at 7.00pm AEDT on Tuesday, 18 March 2014 at an issue price of 3 cents per New Share (" Entitlement "). If you accept your Entitlement, either fully or in part, you will also receive one free Attaching Option for every two New Shares subscribed for under the Rights Issue. Attaching Options are exercisable at 3.5 cents each on or before 31 July 2015. You may also apply to take up additional Shares in excess of your full Entitlement.

The Rights Issue Offer is underwritten by Patersons Securities Limited (“ Underwriter ”) to $1.8 million. After payment of the costs and expenses of the Offers, the proceeds from the Rights Issue will be applied towards the acquisition of the assets of Your Home Depot Pty Ltd (“ YHD ”) as announced to ASX on 17 February 2014 as well as for working capital.

The Company intends to purchase the assets and business of YHD for $2.85 million. The primary assets of YHD include:

  • the domain name and website assets associated with yourhomedepot.com.au which generated $12.9 million in revenue in the 2013 financial year and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization of $1.0 million;

  • a database of approximately 130,000 retail and commercial customers;

  • stock on hand to the value of $1.5 million; and

  • a recently fitted out leasehold warehouse facility of around 2,300m[2] located approximately 24km north-west of Sydney’s CBD.

YHD was founded in 2003, and is one of Australia’s leading online home wares and home appliances retailers. The proposed acquisition of the business and assets of YHD accelerates the Company’s strategy of becoming a leading Australian online shopping company. In particular:

  • the acquisition of YHD brings significant scale to Shoply – YHD generated sales of $12.9 million for the 2013 financial year;

  • the YHD product offering complements and broadens Shoply’s existing computer and electronic product online stores, Eljo.com.au, EzyDirect.com.au and Ohki.com.au;

  • Shoply adds significant capability through its customer acquisition and resource capabilities and consolidated operating platform to further grow the demand and customer base already existing in the YHD business;

  • YHD will enable the Company to leverage and derive considerable synergies with the recently acquired HomeAppliances.com.au domain name;

  • YHD currently has over 130,000 customers to supplement Shoply’s 60,000 customers, which should enable cross-selling opportunities across the combined base of almost 200,000 customers; and

  • the acquisition will add additional distribution capacity for faster fulfillment in NSW to complement Shoply’s existing warehousing and distribution facility in Victoria. The

Shoply Limited Rights Issue Prospectus March 2014

page:6

combined distribution infrastructure will enable the Company to better service the two largest online shopping markets in Australia (Victoria and New South Wales) as well as cost effectively add further online shopping businesses (via organic growth and acquisitions) to this platform in the future.

The acquisition of Your Home Depot represents a significant opportunity for Shoply to grow into a leading Australian online shopping company.

Shareholders are encouraged to read this Prospectus and the accompanying Acceptance Form fully. If you have any questions about the Rights Issue, you should consult your stockbroker or other professional adviser.

On behalf of the Board, I commend this offer to you.

Yours sincerely

Andrew Plympton Chairman 7 March 2014

Shoply Limited Rights Issue Prospectus March 2014

SECTION 1 - DETAILS OF THE OFFERS

1.1 Details of the Rights Issue Offer

The Company is making a pro rata renounceable offer to issue approximately 60.2 million New Shares under this Prospectus at an issue price of 3 cents per New Share to raise approximately $1.8 million. For every two shares subscribed, the Company will issue one free Attaching Option, such that a maximum of approximately 30.1 million Attaching Options are to be issued.

The New Shares are being offered to Eligible Shareholders on the basis of one New Share for every five Shares held on the Record Date of 7.00pm AEDT Tuesday, 18 March 2014. Any fractional entitlements to a New Share will be rounded up to the nearest whole New Share.

The New Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus will rank equally with existing Shares on issue. The Attaching Options will have an exercise price of 3.5 cents and an expiry date of 31 July 2015. The full terms and conditions of the New Shares and Attaching Options are set out in sections 4.1 and 4.2 respectively.

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company has 241,055,747 Shares on issue. The Company also has on issue:

  • (a) 160,872,596 listed Options trading under the ASX code “SHPO” exercisable at 1.5 cents each and expiring on 30 June 2014; and

  • (b) 11,600,000 unlisted Options (refer to section 3.4 for further details).

Subject to the restrictions specified in section 1.16, all holders of Shares in the Company on the Record Date are entitled to participate in the Rights Issue.

Option holders who exercise their Options after the date of this Prospectus but prior to the Record Date are also entitled to participate in the Rights Issue Offer.

The number of New Shares and Attaching Options to which you are entitled as an Eligible Shareholder is shown on the accompanying personalised Rights Issue Offer Entitlement and Acceptance Form. The Entitlement and Acceptance Form also allows you to apply for New Shares in addition to your Entitlement (refer to section 1.7).

The Rights Issue Offer is underwritten to $1.8 million by Patersons Securities Limited (“ Underwriter ”). Refer to section 5.5 of this Prospectus for further details of the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.

1.2 Placement Option Offer

On 4 March 2014 the Company announced that it had received commitments from institutional and sophisticated investors to subscribe for 60 million Shares at 3 cents per share to raise gross proceeds of $1.8 million (“ Placement ”). Pursuant to the Placement, the Company has agreed to issue the participating investors New Options with the same terms as the Attaching Options (refer to section 4.2 for the terms of the Attaching Options and the New Options) on the basis of one New Option for every two Shares subscribed in the Placement.

The Company expects that settlement of the Placement will occur on 7 March 2014, and Shares under the Placement will be issued to subscribers on 10 March 2014.

Shoply Limited Rights Issue Prospectus March 2014

page:8

The issue of New Options to subscribers in the Placement is conditional on the Company obtaining Shareholder approval for their issue pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 at an Extraordinary General Meeting to be convened in mid-April 2014 for this purpose. Should Shareholders not approve the issue of the New Options:

  • (a) the Placement Option Offer will not proceed and the New Options will not be issued; and

  • (b) the Company has agreed to pay compensation to investors in the Placement of $0.01 per New Option that was to be issued.

The Placement Option Offer pursuant to this Prospectus is a separate offer to the Rights Issue offer, and only those persons directed by the Lead Manager (being subscribers to the Placement) should submit an application form in connection with the Placement Option Offer.

1.3 Rights Trading

Entitlements to Securities pursuant to the Rights Issue Offer are renounceable and, accordingly, Rights will be traded on ASX. Details on how to sell your Rights are set out in sections 1.4.2 and 1.4.3 below.

1.4 How to Accept the Rights Issue Offer

1.4.1 If you wish to take up your Rights

If you are an Eligible Shareholder and you wish to take up all or part of your Rights, you must accept the Rights Issue Offer by completing the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form mailed to you with this Prospectus. Your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form will detail your entitlement to New Shares and Attaching Options under the Rights Issue Offer. Any fractional entitlements to a New Share will be rounded up to the nearest whole New Share. You should complete the form in accordance with the instructions set out on the reverse side of the form.

Your completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form must be accompanied by the requisite Application Monies calculated at 3.0 cents in aggregate for each New Share or payment must be made via BPAY following the instructions on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Please ensure that the completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form, together with your Application Monies is received by the Share Registry by not later than 5.00pm AEDT on Wednesday, 2 April 2014 or such later date as the Directors advise.

1.4.2 If you wish to sell your Rights on ASX

If you wish to sell all of your Rights on ASX, follow the instructions on the back of the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form headed “Sale of your Entitlement in full by your Stockbroker/Agent”.

If you wish to sell part of your Rights on ASX and take up the balance, follow the instructions on the back of the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form headed “Sale of your Entitlement in part by your Stockbroker/Agent and acceptance of the balance”.

You can sell your Rights on ASX from Wednesday 12 March 2014. Any sale of part of your Rights on ASX must be effected by the close of trading on Wednesday 26 March 2014, when Rights trading ends on ASX.

Shoply Limited Rights Issue Prospectus March 2014

page:9

To take up the remaining part of your Rights, your stockbroker will need to ensure that the completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form together with the requisite Application Monies reaches the Share Registry by not later than 5.00pm AEDT on Wednesday 2 April 2014 or such later date as the Directors advise.

The Company does not accept any responsibility for any failure by your stockbroker to carry out your instructions.

1.4.3 If you wish to transfer all or part of your Rights to another person other than on ASX

If you hold Shares on the issuer-sponsored register and you wish to transfer all or part of your Rights to another person other than on ASX, forward a completed standard renunciation form (which can be obtained from your stockbroker or the Share Registry) signed by you (as the seller) and the buyer by not later than 5.00pm AEDT on Wednesday 26 March 2014, together with your Entitlement and Acceptance Form completed by the buyer and the buyer’s cheque or bank draft for the appropriate Application Monies which should reach the Share Registry by not later than 5.00pm AEDT on Wednesday 2 April 2014 or such later date as the Directors advise.

If you are an Eligible Shareholder holding Shares on CHESS and you wish to transfer all or part of your Rights to another person other than on ASX, you should contact your sponsoring participant.

If the Share Registry receives both a completed renunciation form and a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form in favour of the same Shareholder in respect of the same Rights, the renunciation will be given effect in priority to the acceptance.

1.4.4 If you do nothing

If you are an Eligible Shareholder and you do nothing by 5.00pm AEDT on Wednesday 2 April 2014, being the Closing Date, your Rights will form part of the Shortfall which will be dealt with as outlined in section 1.11.

1.4.5 Form of Payment

All cheques must be drawn on an Australian Bank or Bank Draft made payable in Australian currency to “Shoply Limited Rights Issue” and crossed “Not Negotiable”.

Your completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form, together with your cheque, must be forwarded to:

By Mail: In Person:
Shoply Limited Shoply Limited
Computershare Investor Services Computershare Investor Services
Pty Limited Pty Limited
GPO Box 505 452 Johnston Street
Melbourne VIC 3001 Abbotsford VIC 3067

Those who elect to pay via BPAY must follow the instructions for BPAY set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Investors who elect to pay via BPAY will not need to return their completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

Shoply Limited Rights Issue Prospectus March 2014

page:10

You must use the specific biller code and Customer Reference Number detailed on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. If you have multiple holdings you will have multiple Customer Reference Numbers. To ensure you receive New Shares in respect of the correct holding, you must use the specific biller code and the Customer Reference Number shown on each personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form when paying for any New Shares that you wish to accept in respect of that holding. If you inadvertently use the same Customer Reference Number for more than one of your Entitlements, you will be deemed to have accepted the New Shares to which that Customer Reference Number applies and any excess amount will be treated as an application for additional New Shares on that holding. Applicants should be aware that their own financial institution may implement earlier cut off times with regards to electronic payment, and should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. You may also have your own limit on the amount that can be paid via BPAY. It is your responsibility to check that the amount you wish to pay via BPAY does not exceed your limit.

Completed Entitlement and Acceptance Forms or payment by BPAY must be received no later than 5.00pm (AEDT) on the Closing Date of Wednesday 2 April 2014.

1.5 How to Accept the Placement Option Offer

The Placement Option Offer pursuant to this Prospectus is a separate offer to the Rights Issue Offer, and only those persons directed by the Lead Manager (being subscribers to the Placement) should submit an application form in connection with the Placement Option Offer.

1.6 Minimum Subscription

The minimum subscription to be raised pursuant to the Rights Issue Offer is the Underwritten Amount, being $1.8 million (before costs).

1.7 Applications for Shares in addition to your Entitlement

The Entitlement and Acceptance Form allows you to apply for New Shares in addition to your Entitlement. The Company has sole discretion to issue all, none or some of any additional New Shares you may apply for. Additional New Shares will be issued at the same time as Shares applied for under your Entitlement. Application monies for any additional New Shares you apply for but which are not issued to you will be refunded without interest. The Company will only issue up to the aggregate number of New Shares that are offered under each Eligible Shareholder’s Entitlement, therefore it may be necessary to scale-back applications for additional New Shares if applications exceed this number.

Shoply intends to honour all applications for additional New Shares where possible. This will reduce any Shortfall which may otherwise be issued to the Underwriter or Sub-Underwriters (refer to section 1.11).

1.8 Applications for less than your Entitlement

The Entitlement and Acceptance Form allows you to apply for less New Shares than your Entitlement.

1.9 New Shares

New Shares issued under the Rights Issue Offer will be fully paid ordinary shares ranking equally with Shares currently on issue.

Shoply Limited Rights Issue Prospectus March 2014

page:11

No brokerage or stamp duty is payable on the issue of New Shares under the Offer.

1.10 Effect of the Offers on Shareholder dilution and the control of Shoply

If you exercise your full Entitlement under the Rights Issue Offer you will not be diluted by the issue of Shares under the Rights Issue. If you do not exercise your full Entitlement under the Rights Issue Offer you will be diluted. Ineligible Shareholders will have their holdings diluted by the Rights Issue Offer.

The effect of the Rights Issue Offer on the control of Shoply will depend upon a number of factors including:

  • the level of Eligible Shareholder participation (including both the taking up of Entitlements and applications for additional New Shares);

  • which Eligible Shareholders participate;

  • the extent to which Rights are traded, exercised and who may decide to exercise them;

  • the extent to which underwriting is called upon, and the identity of the allottees of the Shortfall (whether the Underwriter or Sub-Underwriters); and

  • if applicable, the level of Shortfall remaining following the close of the Rights Issue Offer and after underwriting has been called upon, and the identity of subscribers to the Shortfall Offer.

If every Eligible Shareholder was to take up their full Entitlement, there would be a minimal effect on the control of Shoply (having regard to the small shareholdings of Ineligible Shareholders), as the Rights Issue Offer is made pro-rata and in that case there would not be any scope for any Shareholder to apply for additional New Shares under the Rights Issue Offer and there would be no Shortfall for the Underwriter (see section 1.11).

The final shareholding interests of each of the Underwriter and Sub-Underwriters upon completion of the Rights Issue Offer will depend upon the factors noted earlier in this section.

The following can be said about the potential effect of the Rights Issue Offer on the

control of Shoply:

  • as noted above, if every Shareholder was to take up their full Entitlement, there would be no effect on the control of Shoply;

  • should some Shareholders elect not to participate in the Rights Issue Offer, it would result in the Underwriter and/or Sub-Underwriters increasing their holding in the Company, giving each of them increased voting rights as well as gaining a greater degree of influence over the operations of the Company; and

  • following the Rights Issue Offer, if the Underwriter and/or Sub-Underwriters hold over 25% of the Company’s Shares, they could collectively prevent the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders.

1.11 Shortfall

If you do not wish to take up any part of your Entitlement or trade your Rights under the Rights Issue Offer, you are not required to take any action. That part of your Entitlement not taken up or traded will form part of the Shortfall and will be dealt with in

Shoply Limited Rights Issue Prospectus March 2014

page:12

accordance with the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement and this section 1.11. In these circumstances, you will receive no benefit. Accordingly, it is important that you take action to either accept or renounce your Entitlement in accordance with the instructions in section 1.4.

Eligible Shareholders who have subscribed for their Entitlement in full may apply for additional New Shares and free Attaching Options by completing the relevant section of your Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

To the extent that Eligible Shareholders do not take up their Entitlement in full, the resultant Shortfall will be allocated at the discretion of the Underwriter in consultation with the Company and in accordance with the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement. In the event that applications for the Shortfall cannot be filled in full or in part, Application Monies (without interest) will be refunded by the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Corporations Act. Neither the Company nor the Underwriter guarantees that you will receive any Shortfall Shares.

1.12 Shortfall Offer

In the event that not all Eligible Shareholders accept their full entitlement pursuant to the Offer and any Shortfall is not taken up by Eligible Shareholders under the Rights Issue or the Underwriter pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Directors reserve the right, subject to any restrictions imposed by the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, to issue the Shortfall Shares at their sole discretion within 3 months after the Closing Date ( Shortfall Offer ).

If the Directors exercise their sole discretion to issue any Shortfall Shares then, pursuant to this Prospectus, the Company will offer the Shortfall Shares as a separate offer. The Company may send a shortfall application form with this Prospectus to the parties to whom the Company makes the Shortfall Offer. The Shortfall Offer will remain open for a period of three months from the Closing Date of the Rights Issue Offer or such shorter date as the Directors in their absolute discretion shall determine, subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules ( Shortfall Closing Date ). The Company will not accept any applications for the Shortfall Shares any later than the Shortfall Closing Date.

Shortfall Shares with free Attaching Options will be offered at an issue price of $0.03 each which is the issue price at which the Rights Issue Offer has been made to Eligible Shareholders.

Applications for Shortfall Shares can only be made by completing and returning the Shortfall Application Form which will be sent with this Prospectus to the parties to whom the Company makes the Shortfall Offer.

In relation to the Shortfall Offer the Company reserves the right to issue to an Applicant a lesser number of Shortfall Shares than the number applied for on the Shortfall Application Form, reject an application or not proceed with the issuing of the Shortfall Shares or part thereof. If the number of Shortfall Shares issued is less than the number applied for in a Shortfall Application Form, surplus Application Monies will be refunded in full. Interest will not be paid on Application Monies refunded.

No subscriber will be permitted to acquire a relevant interest in the Company’s Shares that is in excess of 20% as a result of applying for and being issued Shares under the Shortfall Offer.

Shoply Limited Rights Issue Prospectus March 2014

page:13

1.13 ASX Listing

The Company will apply to ASX for quotation of the Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus within seven days after the date of this Prospectus. If an application for quotation of the Securities is not made within seven days after the date of this Prospectus, or ASX does not grant permission for official quotation of the Securities within three months after the date of this Prospectus, the Company will not issue any Securities and will repay all application monies for the Securities within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.

The fact that 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 under this Prospectus.

1.14 Allotment of Securities

Securities issued pursuant to the Offers will be allotted in accordance with the timetable provided in the Prospectus and otherwise in accordance with the Listing Rules. Where the number of Securities issued is less than the number applied for, or where no allotment is made under the Shortfall Offer, surplus Application Monies will be refunded without any interest to the Applicant as soon as practicable after the Closing Date.

Pending the allotment and issue of the Securities or payment of refunds pursuant to this Prospectus, all Application Monies will be held by the Company on trust for the Applicants in a separate bank account as required by the Corporations Act. The Company, however, will be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on the bank account and each Applicant waives the right to claim interest.

1.15 CHESS and Issuer Sponsorship

The Company operates an electronic CHESS sub-register and an electronic issuer sponsored sub-register. These two sub-registers make up the Company’s register of Securities. The Company will not issue certificates to investors. Rather, holding statements (similar to bank statements) will be dispatched to investors as soon as practicable after allotment.

Holding statements will be sent either by CHESS (for new investors who elect to hold their Securities on the CHESS sub-register) or by the Company’s Share Registry (for new investors who elect to hold their Securities on the Issuer sponsored sub-register). The statements will set out the number of New Shares and Attaching Options allotted under the Prospectus and provide details of a Holder Identification Number (for new investors who elect to hold their Securities on the Chess sub-register) or Reference Number (for new investors who elect to hold their Securities on the issuer sponsored sub-register). Updated holding statements will also be sent to each new investor following the month in which the balance of their holding of New Shares and Attaching Options changes, and also as required by the Listing Rules or the Corporations Act.

1.16 Risks

As with any share investment, there are risks associated with investing in the Company. The principal risks that could affect the financial and market performance of the Company and its business are detailed in section 2 of this Prospectus. The Securities on offer under this Prospectus should be considered speculative. Accordingly, before deciding to invest in the Company, investors should read this

Shoply Limited Rights Issue Prospectus March 2014

page:14

Prospectus in its entirety and should consider all factors in light of their individual circumstances and seek appropriate professional advice.

1.17 Treatment of Ineligible Shareholders

The Company has decided that it is unreasonable to extend the Rights Issue Offer to any Shareholder with a registered address outside Australia or New Zealand, having regard to:

  • the small number of shareholders with addresses in such other countries;

  • the number and value of the shares they hold; and

  • the cost to Shoply of complying with applicable legal and regulatory requirements in such other countries.

Accordingly, no person (including Eligible Shareholders, the Underwriter, the SubUnderwriters as well as any participant in the Shortfall Offer) will be permitted, by virtue of item 10 of section 611 of the Corporations Act, to acquire Shares under the Rights Issue to the extent that such acquisition would result in that person having a voting power in Shoply in excess of 20% (on a post Rights Issue basis), unless:

  • the Rights Issue Offer is revised to include all Shareholders, including those in foreign jurisdictions; or

  • the Company applies to ASIC to appoint a foreign nominee under section 615 of the Corporations Act.

The Company confirms that it does not intend to revise the Rights Issue Offer to include Ineligible Shareholders, or make an application to ASIC for the appointment of a nominee for the purposes of section 615 of the Corporations Act.

Shareholders who are not eligible to apply for New Shares under the Rights Issue Offer will have their Rights sold for them by the Lead Manager, the nominee which has been appointed by Shoply (albeit not for the purposes of section 615 of the Corporations Act), and their proportionate share of any net sale proceeds will be remitted to them in accordance with the key dates set out on page 4.

It may be that there is no market for these Rights, or that the gross proceeds will be less than the expenses of the sale process. In this case, these Rights will, at Shoply’s discretion, either be allowed to expire or be sold and the Company will retain any proceeds.

Patersons, as nominee, will have the discretion to determine the timing and the price at which the Rights may be sold and the manner in which any sale is made, but will be obliged to achieve the best price reasonably obtainable at the time of the sale.

The Company and its officers, employees, agents and contractors (including Patersons) disclaim all liability in tort (including negligence), contract, under statute or otherwise to any person for any failure to sell any Rights at any specific price or on any specific day.

Any net proceeds will be paid in Australian dollars in accordance with their existing payment instructions provided to the Company in respect of their shareholding (i.e. mailed to the address on the Company register of Shareholders or deposited into the nominated bank account), at the Ineligible Shareholder’s risk.

1.18 Taxation

It is the responsibility of all persons to satisfy themselves of the particular taxation treatment that applies to them by consulting their own professional tax advisers. Taxation consequences will depend on particular circumstances. Neither the Company nor any of its officers accept any liability or responsibility in respect of the taxation consequences of the matters referred to above or any other taxation consequences connected with an investment in the Securities in the Company.

1.19 Privacy Disclosure

Persons who apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus are asked to provide personal information to the Company, either directly or through the Share Registry. The Company and the Share Registry collects, holds and uses that personal information to assess applications for Securities to provide facilities and services to Shareholders and Option holders, and to carry out various administrative functions. Access to the information collected may be provided to the Company’s agents and service providers and to ASX, ASIC and other regulatory bodies on the basis that they deal with such information in accordance with the relevant privacy laws. If the information requested is not supplied, applications for Securities will not be processed. In accordance with privacy laws, information collected in relation to specific Shareholders and Option holders can be obtained by that Shareholder or Option holder through contacting the Company or the Share Registry.

1.20 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, solicitor, accountant or other professional adviser without delay.

SECTION 2 - RISK FACTORS

2.1 Introduction

The Securities offered under this Prospectus should be considered speculative because of the nature of the Company’s business.

This section identifies the areas the Directors regard as the major risks associated with an investment in Shoply. Investors should be aware that an investment in the Company involves risks which may be higher than the risks associated with an investment in other companies. Intending investors should read the whole of this Prospectus in order to appreciate fully such matters and the manner in which the Company intends to operate before any decision is made to apply for Securities.

Whilst the Directors recommend that Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlement, there are numerous widespread risks associated with investing in any form of business and with investing in the share market generally. There is also a range of specific risks associated with Shoply’s business.

Whilst some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, some of these risk factors are largely beyond the control of the Company and its Directors because of the nature of the business of the Company. Accordingly, an investment in the Company carries no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital or price at which the Securities will trade.

The following list represents key risk factors of which the Directors are aware and of which, although not exhaustive, investors need to be aware. This list is a summary of the more material matters to be considered and should be read in conjunction with specific matters referred to in the Company’s announcements and reports. However, the summary is not exhaustive and potential investors should examine the contents of this Prospectus in its entirety and consult their professional advisors before deciding whether to apply for Securities.

2.2 Specific Risks

A number of specific risk factors that may impact the future performance of the Company are described below. Shareholders should note that this list is not exhaustive.

2.2.1 Growing division

The Company’s e-commerce division is a relatively new business offering. Whilst the new division is an extension of the Company’s existing business and is being developed with minimal capital expenditure and resources, there is no guarantee that this division will generate profits in the near to medium term, particularly at this early stage of its development. In addition, the development of the Company’s e- commerce division is dependent on growth through strategic acquisitions. Whilst the Directors continue to source reliable acquisition opportunities that will provide appropriate additions to the Company’s e-commerce division, the Company cannot guarantee the success or indeed completion of any proposed acquisitions of new businesses. Accordingly, there is a risk that the Company will not, in the short to medium term, realise any value from its capital investments in these businesses.

Shoply Limited Rights Issue Prospectus March 2014

page:17

2.2.2 E-commerce risks

There are a number of inherent risks associated with operating in the e-commerce sector, including but not limited to security breaches (particularly in relation to credit card security), fraud exposure, customer disputes and chargebacks. For instance, security risks arising from intrusions from viruses and hackers could disrupt the Company’s business operations and may lead to loss in customer confidence and sales revenue.

2.2.3 Reliance on technology

The successful operation of the Company’s business is dependent on various technologies including the internet and co-located dedicated servers. Any significant disruption to these systems could have a materially detrimental effect on the Company’s business. Further, there is no guarantee that the technology utilised by the Company will not, in the future, be superseded by other technologies.

2.2.4 Competition

The Company is not unique in developing and marketing many of its products and services. There is a risk that its products and services may not, in the future, be able to compete with competitors' products and services on cost or technical grounds.

2.2.5 Negative Cash Operating Position

As at the date of this Prospectus the Company is operating on a negative cash operating basis, that is, its operating expenses exceed its revenues. The Company may be unable to enter into new contracts (and meet the requisite deliverables under such contracts) or identify new business opportunities (refer to section 2.2.8 below) whilst still operating the cash flow negative operating business. As such it is possible that the Company's cash flow position will remain negative and its financial position may therefore worsen. A failure by the Company to successfully mitigate the risk of this occurring may cause the Company’s financial position to deteriorate and affect the Company's ability to operate as a going concern.

2.2.6 New Business Opportunities

In order to grow, the Company intends to pursue new business opportunities, possibly including opportunities in sectors other than the digital media industry in which it currently operates. Should a suitable new business opportunity be identified, it will then need to be assessed for its technical, legal and commercial suitability.

There can be no guarantee that any proposed acquisition of a new business or project will be completed or will be successful. The acquisition of new business opportunities (whether completed or not) may also require payment of monies (as a deposit or exclusivity fee) after only limited due diligence and prior to the completion of comprehensive due diligence.

If any proposed acquisition is not completed, monies already advanced may not be recoverable. Furthermore, notwithstanding that an acquisition may proceed upon the completion of due diligence, the risks associated with operating a new business or project will also apply. Any such new business or project will also be subject to the risks associated with the industry in which they operate.

2.2.7 Future capital needs and additional funding

The funding of any further ongoing capital requirements beyond the requirements as

Shoply Limited Rights Issue Prospectus March 2014

page:18

set out in this Prospectus will depend upon a number of factors including the extent of the Company’s ability to generate income from activities which the Company cannot forecast with any certainty.

Any additional equity financing will be dilutive to Shareholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding as needed, it may not be able to take advantage of opportunities. Further, the Company may be required to reduce the scope of its operations or anticipated expansion and it may affect the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

2.2.8 Acquisition of Your Home Depot Pty Ltd

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company has entered into a letter of intent with Your Home Depot Pty Ltd (“ YHD ”) for the proposed acquisition of the business and assets of YHD (refer to section 5.5.2). The proposed acquisition is subject to a number of conditions precedent, including that the parties must enter into a definitive assets purchase agreement. There is a risk that the proposed acquisition may not proceed for a number of a reasons. In the event that the proposed acquisition does not proceed, and given that the main purpose of the Rights Issue is to fund such proposed acquisition, the Directors will withdraw the Rights Issue. Under these circumstances, all Application Monies received will be refunded without interest.

2.3 General Share Risk

An investment in the Company’s Shares has the general risks associated with any investment in the share market. Returns from an investment in Shares will depend on general stock market conditions as well as the performance of the Company. Investors should recognise that the price of Shares may fall as well as rise, the price at which the Company's Shares trade may be above or below the issue price of those Shares and that concentrated shareholdings may affect liquidity of the Shares. The trading price of the Shares is likely to be subject to fluctuations in response to factors such as actual or anticipated variations in the Company’s operating results, announcements of new products by the Company or its competitors, announcements by the Company or its competitors of significant acquisitions, technological developments, capital commitments, additions or departures of key personnel and other events or factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control. Market fluctuations, as well as general political and economic conditions such as recession or interest rate or currency rate fluctuations or changes in political or economic policy in the markets in which the Company operates, may also adversely affect the market price of the Company's Shares.

2.4 Technology Risk

An investment in companies involved in technology and new media sectors attracts additional risks associated with investing in industries which are evolving rapidly. There are specific risks affecting investment in sectors involving technologies, arising from market perception that the industry is subject to volatility. The Company’s internet search and advertising business all utilise relatively new technology. There is no guarantee that the technology will not, in the future, be superseded by other technologies.

Shoply Limited Rights Issue Prospectus March 2014

page:19

2.5 Research and Development

Development and commercialisation of new products and services generally involves long lead times. There is no certainty that Shoply will be able to successfully develop new products within commercial time frames. The Internet advertising industry is still relatively new particularly in the Australian market and there is no guarantee that the Company’s products will be commercially successful. The willingness of customers to utilise the Company’s Internet advertising services is subject to a wide range of factors beyond the control of the Company, the occurrence or effect of which cannot be predicted. The Company is also exposed to the risk that changes to industry technical standards could have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial performance.

2.6 Market Acceptance

Market acceptance, both in Australia and internationally, of the Company’s products is uncertain. These uncertainties are due to difficulties in estimating market size, product pricing and acceptance, lead times for the awarding of contracts and the possibility of the discovery and development of new technologies and competing products and services. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company’s products and services will gain acceptance in the market, or that the Company will receive profits from the sale of its products and services.

2.7 Competition

Shoply is not unique in developing and marketing many of its products and services. There is a risk that competitors of Shoply will develop Australian and/or international markets. There is a risk that the Company's products and services may not, in the future, be able to compete with competitors' products and services on cost or technical grounds and therefore contracts may not be awarded to it. There is a risk that the cost of competing products and services may fall or that the Company’s services may become too expensive to allow the Company to compete effectively. A loss of a number of Shoply’s major customers could adversely affect both revenues and profitability.

2.8 General Economic Conditions

Any prolonged economic slowdown of the Australian economy or overseas economies in which the Company operates could potentially have materially adverse consequences on the financial performance of the Company.

2.9 Reliance on Key Personnel

The responsibility of overseeing day-to-day operations and the strategic direction of the Company is concentrated amongst a small management team. A loss of any of them, or of one of the members of the senior management team, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's prospects.

2.10 Reliance on Systems

The successful operation of Shoply’s business is dependent on various technologies including the internet. Any significant disruption to these systems could have a materially detrimental effect on Shoply’s business.

2.11 Government Policy Changes

Shoply Limited Rights Issue Prospectus March 2014

page:20

Changes in Australian or international government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies may affect the Company. Such changes are beyond the control of the Company. The Company conducts its business in reliance upon current understandings of taxation issues and current Australian Accounting Standards.

2.12 Intellectual Property Rights

One of the Company's significant assets is its intellectual property rights in products and services, which it has developed. The Company relies on a combination of copyright and trademark laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect these assets. The laws of some foreign jurisdictions may provide less protection than the laws of Australia for the Company's proprietary rights. Unauthorised use of the Company's intellectual property could have a materially adverse effect on the Company and there can be no assurance that the Company's legal remedies would adequately compensate it for the damage to its business caused by such use. The Company is not aware that any of its products infringe upon the proprietary rights of third parties in any material respect. There can be no assurance, however, that third parties will not claim infringement by the Company with respect to current or future products or services. Any such claim, with or without merit, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management resources and a successful claim could effectively block the Company's ability to market its products and services which would have a material adverse effect on the financial and operating results of the Company.

2.13 Ability to Retain Key Clients

The Group has a number of key clients to which it supplies and for whom it sells advertising. The Company is reliant on these clients and advertisers. Any changes in the Company's relationship with one or more clients or advertisers would be likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.

2.14 International Operations

Pursuit of growth opportunities internationally may require significant investment for an extended period before returns, if any, are realised. While the Company does not have any immediate plans to expand significantly internationally, if it did so, there can be no assurance that the Company's plans to expand into international markets would be successful. The Company's prospects in this regard could be adversely affected by factors such as delays in the opening of foreign markets, the exchange rate, a preference for the use of local suppliers, current or future legislation or regulatory or technical standards which discriminate against overseas suppliers. In addition, Australian laws and policies affecting foreign trade, investment and taxation could also adversely affect the Company's Australian and international operations and growth.

2.15 Exchange Rate Fluctuations

Whilst the Company presently has business operations in the United States of America, it has no immediate plans to expand significantly into international markets. If it does so, the Company will be relatively more exposed to exchange rate fluctuations between the Australian Dollar and the various overseas currencies of the countries with which it trades and this could have a material effect on the Company’s revenues and earnings.

Shoply Limited Rights Issue Prospectus March 2014

page:21

2.16 General Risks

The future prospects of the Company’s business may be affected by circumstances and external factors beyond the Company’s control. Financial performance of the Company may be affected by a number of business risks that apply to companies generally and may include economic, financial, market or regulatory conditions.

2.16.1 Global Credit and Investment Markets

Global credit and investment markets have recently experienced a high degree of uncertainty and volatility. The factors which have led to this situation have been outside the control of the Company and may continue for some time resulting in continued volatility and uncertainty in world stock markets (including ASX). This may impact the price at which the Securities trade regardless of operating performance and affect the Company's ability to raise additional equity and/or debt to achieve its objectives, if required.

2.16.2 Taxation and government regulations

Changes in taxation and government legislation or regulations in a range of areas (for example, the Corporations Act, accounting standards, and taxation law) can have a significant influence on the outlook for companies and the returns to investors.

The recoupment of taxation losses accrued by the Company from any future revenues is subject to the satisfaction of tests outlined in taxation legislation or regulations in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. There is no guarantee that the Company will satisfy all of these requirements at the time it seeks to recoup its tax losses which may impact on the financial performance and cash flows of the Company.

2.17 Speculative Nature of Investment

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Securities offered under this Prospectus. Therefore, the Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of the Securities.

Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities.
