(ASX: ABN)
ASX and Media Release
16 May 2012
Cleansing Prospectus
AdEffective Limited (the Company ) advises that the Company has today lodged the attached cleansing prospectus dated 16 May 2012 ( Cleansing Prospectus ) with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.
The primary purpose of the Cleansing Prospectus is not to raise capital; instead the Cleansing Prospectus is being issued primarily to satisfy compliance requirements and in particular to remove any secondary sale restrictions attached to 15,000,000 listed options issued on 15 May 2012 ( Conversion Options ) as part consideration to lenders of convertible loans to the Company ( Lenders ).
Secondary sale restrictions attaching to Conversion Options
In accordance with convertible loan agreements entered into between the Lenders and the Company, the terms of which are disclosed in the Company’s Rights Issue Prospectus dated 2 March 2012, the Lenders were issued with the Conversion Options on 15 May 2012.
The Conversion Options were issued without disclosure to the Lenders, who are Exempt Offerees (within the definition of that term in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (the Corporations Act )), under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act.
A ‘cleansing notice’ under section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act has not been, and will not be lodged with ASX within 5 days of the issue of the Conversion Options. The Company is unable to lodge a ‘cleansing notice’ as the Conversion Options are not in a class of securities that were quoted on the ASX in the three months before the day on which the Conversion Options were issued, as required by section 708A(5)(a).
A prospectus is therefore required under the Corporations Act to enable the Lenders who were issued with the Conversion Options to on-sell those Conversion Options within 12 months of their issue.
Accordingly, this Prospectus is being issued to satisfy compliance requirements, and particularly to remove any secondary sale restrictions attached to the Conversion Options and facilitate future secondary trading of those options in accordance with section 708A(11)(b) of the Corporations Act.

==> picture [92 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
The Company did not issue the Conversion Options with the purpose of the persons to whom they were issued selling or transferring the Conversion Options, or granting, issuing or transferring interests in the Conversion Options within 12 months of their issue, but this Cleansing Prospectus provides them the ability to do so should they so wish.
Offer of 10 New Options
This Cleansing Prospectus has also been issued to provide information on the Offer of 10 options at an issue price of A$0.015 to raise A$0.15.
In the interests of clarity, the Cleansing Prospectus does not represent a new equity fund raising process undertaken by the Company.

1 DETAILS OF THE OFFERS
1.1 Details of the Offer
By this Prospectus, the Company is making an offer to the public of 10 New Options at an issue price of A$0.015 to raise A$0.15.
1.2 Purpose of the Prospectus
On 15 May 2012, the Company issued 15,000,000 Conversion Options to the Convertible Loan Lenders. The terms of the issue of the Conversion Options were detailed in the Company’s Rights Issue Prospectus dated 2 March 2012.
The Convertible Loan Lenders are Exempt Offerees (as defined in the Corporations Act) who did not require a disclosure document or prospectus to be issued by the Company in respect of the Convertible Loans or the issue of the Conversion Options to the Lenders.
As a result, the Conversion Options were issued without disclosure to investors under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act. Further a ‘cleansing notice’ under section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act was not/will not be lodged with ASX within 5 days of the issue of the Conversion Options. The Company is unable to lodge a ‘cleansing notice’ as the Conversion Options are not in a class of securities that were quoted on the ASX in the three months before the day on which the Conversion Options were issued, as required by section 708A(5)(a).
A prospectus is therefore required under the Corporations Act to enable persons who were issued with the Conversion Options to on-sell those Conversion Options within 12 months of their issue. Accordingly, this Prospectus is being issued to remove any secondary sale restrictions and facilitate future secondary trading of the Conversion Options in accordance with section 708A(11)(b) of the Corporations Act,
The Company did not issue the Conversion Options with the purpose of the persons to whom they were issued selling or transferring the Conversion Options, or granting, issuing or transferring interests in the Conversion Options within 12 months of the issue but this Prospectus provides them the ability to do so should they so wish.
This Prospectus has also been issued to provide information on the Offer being made under this Prospectus as required by the Corporations Act.
1.3 Offer Period
The Offer will open for receipt of acceptances on Wednesday 16 May 2012 and will close at 5.00pm (Melbourne time) on Friday 18 May 2012 or such other date as the Directors may determine in their absolute discretion.
1.4 Minimum Subscription
There is no minimum subscription under the Offer.
1.5 Application for the New Options
An application for the New Options may only be made by the party invited to do so by the Company and must be made using the Application Form accompanying this Prospectus.
Cheques should be in Australian currency and made payable to " AdEffective Limited " and crossed " Not Negotiable ".
A completed Application Form must be accompanied by the Application Monies and lodged in person or by post with the Company:

AdEffective Limited Level 3, 1 Collins Street Melbourne VIC 3000
The Application must be received by 5.00pm (Melbourne time) on Friday 18 May 2012 (subject to the right of the Directors to close the Offer earlier or to extend this date without notice).
1.6 Oversubscription and Allotment of the New Options
An application for the New Options may only be made by the party invited to do so by the Company and must be made using the Application Form accompanying this Prospectus.
Oversubscriptions will not be accepted.
The New Options are expected to be allotted and issued by no later than Monday 21 May 2012. Until allotment and issue of the New Options under this Prospectus, the Application Monies will be held in trust.
Any interest earned on the Application Monies will be for the benefit of the Company and will be retained by it irrespective of whether allotment and issue of the New Options takes place.
1.7 Rights attaching to the New Options and Shares
A summary of the important rights attaching to the New Options, and the rights attaching to the underlying Shares the subject of the New Options as set out in the Company’s constitution, is contained in section 5 of this Prospectus.
No brokerage or stamp duty is payable on the issue of the New Options under the Offer.
1.8 ASX Listing
The Company will apply to ASX for quotation of the New Options offered under this Prospectus within seven days after the date of this Prospectus. If an application for quotation of the New Options is not made within seven days after the date of this Prospectus, or ASX does not grant permission for official quotation of the New Options within three months after the date of this Prospectus, the Company will not issue the New Options and will repay all Application Monies for the New Options within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.
1.9 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 the applicant as soon as practicable after allotment.
A holding statement will be sent either by CHESS (if the applicant elects to hold his/her New Options on the CHESS sub-register) or by the Company’s Share Registry (if the applicant elects to hold his/her New Options on the Issuer sponsored sub-register). The statement will set out the number of New Options (being 10) allotted under the Prospectus and provide details of a Holder Identification Number (for a CHESS sub-register) or Securityholder Reference Number (for an issuer sponsored sub-register). An updated holding statement will also be sent to the new investor following the month in which the balance of his/her holding of the New Options changes, and also as required by the Listing Rules or the Corporations Act.

4 RISK FACTORS
4.1 Introduction
The underlying Shares the subject of the New Options 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 AdEffective. 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 the New Options.
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 AdEffective 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 underlying Shares the subject of the New Options 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 of. 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 the New Options.
4.2 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.
4.3 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.
4.4 Future capital needs and additional funding
The funding of any further ongoing capital requirements beyond the requirements as 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.
AdEffective Limited | Prospectus | May 2012
13 | P a g e
==> picture [75 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
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.
4.5
General Risk
An investment in the Company 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.
4.6 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.
4.7 Research and Development
Development and commercialisation of new products and services generally involves long lead times. There is no certainty that AdEffective will be successful in the development of new products within commercial time frames. The Internet advertising industry is constantly evolving 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 and the willingness of suppliers to syndicate advertising feeds to the Company 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.
4.8 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.

==> picture [75 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
4.9 Competition
AdEffective is not unique in developing and marketing many of its products and services. 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 AdEffective’s major customers could adversely affect both revenues and profitability.
4.10 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.
4.11 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.
4.12 Reliance on Systems
The successful operation of AdEffective’s business is dependent on various technologies including the internet, co-located dedicated servers and Ad Systems. Any significant disruption to these systems could have a materially detrimental effect on AdEffective’s business.
4.13 Government Policy Changes
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.
4.14 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.
AdEffective Limited | Prospectus | May 2012
15 | P a g e
==> picture [75 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
4.15 Ability to Retain Key Clients
The business of AdEffective is dependent on the securing of contracts to license and supply advertising products and services to consumers. AdEffective has no control over the timing of these opportunities or in respect of the awarding of such contracts. The performance of contracts may incur additional, unexpected costs or be subject to delays, which may require the Company to revise its timetable or delay the successful development of the business. Despite the Directors having no reason to expect the loss of any key customer of the Company, the business could be adversely affected by the loss of one or more such customers. The Company's relationship with its key customers is principally governed by formal and informal contractual arrangements. Generally, there is no guaranteed minimum level of revenue for AdEffective under these arrangements. Because there are relatively few customers and contracts can be relatively large, revenue is not expected to be spread evenly throughout the year. If the Company fails to maintain or secure future contracts, revenue could be significantly affected. There is also a risk that contracts it believes it may be able to enter into will not be able to be successfully negotiated or existing contracts may be terminated at short notice or not extended or replaced when they are due for renewal.
4.16 Relationships with Key Clients and Suppliers
The Company 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.
4.17 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.
4.18 AdEffective
The Company is involved in the relatively new; fast moving and dynamic digital media and technology sector and accordingly there is no guarantee that the AdEffective businesses will operate profitably in the short term given the early stage of development of a number of its businesses, the nature of the digital media and technology sectors generally and its proposed expansion into new areas.
4.19 Exchange Rate Fluctuations
The Company 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.
4.20 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.
AdEffective Limited | Prospectus | May 2012
16 | P a g e
==> picture [75 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
4.20.1 General Economic Conditions
The operating and financial performance of the Company is influenced by a variety of general economic and business conditions, including levels of consumer spending, inflation, interest rates, access to debt and capital markets, international economic conditions, significant acts of terrorism, hostilities or war or natural disasters, and government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies. Prolonged deterioration in general economic conditions may have an adverse impact on the Company’s business or financial condition. No guarantee can be made that the Company’s market performance will not be adversely affected by any such market fluctuations or factors.
4.20.2 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.
4.20.3
Taxation and government regulations
Changes in taxation and government legislation 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.
4.21 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 underlying Shares the subject of the New Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of the underlying Shares the subject of the New Options.
Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for the New Options.
