On behalf of the Board of Harvest Technology Group Limited (ACN 149 970 445) ( Company or HTG ), I am pleased to offer you the opportunity to subscribe for fully paid ordinary shares in the Company ( Shares ) under a Share Purchase Plan ( Offer or SPP ). The SPP allows you to apply to purchase Shares on the same terms as the Company’s recent share placement to sophisticated investors as announced on Tuesday July 11, 2023 ( Placement ). The SPP is not underwritten.

The Company is offering Eligible Shareholders the opportunity under the SPP to acquire from A$5,000 (minimum) up to A$30,000 (maximum) worth of Shares at an issue price of A$0.037 per Share ( Issue Price ). The Issue Price is equal to the price at which the Company undertook the Placement and represents a:

  • (a) 21.3% discount to the last traded price of A$0.047; and

  • (b) 18.3% discount to the volume weighted average market price of Shares over the last 5 days on which sales of Shares were recorded on the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ) of A$0.0453,

on Thursday July 6, 2023, being the last day of trading prior to the announcement of the Offer.

Shareholders will be eligible to participate in the Offer if they have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand as at 5:00pm (AWST) on Monday July 10, 2023 ( Eligible Shareholder ). Participation in the SPP is optional.

The Directors view the SPP as a means of allowing Eligible Shareholders in Australia and New Zealand to participate in the recently announced equity raising without incurring brokerage or transaction costs.

The proceeds from the SPP are intended to be used by the Company to fund the continued growth of the Company as well as for general working capital requirements and the costs of the Placement and SPP. For further details of the proposed use of funds, please refer to the Company's ASX announcement dated Tuesday July 11, 2023.

The Company is targeting to raise up to A$1,000,000 (before costs) via the SPP, with the ability to take oversubscriptions (subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)).

How to apply for SPP Shares

The SPP opens on Monday July 17, 2023, and is expected to close at 5:00pm (AWST) on Monday August 7, 2023. Shares under the SPP are expected to be issued on Friday August 11, 2023, and to commence trading on ASX on Monday August 14, 2023.

Investment overview

Not for release to US wire services or distribution in the United States

Harvest Technology Group Limited (ACN 149 970 445)

Share Purchase Plan Offer Document

These are the terms and conditions of the Harvest Technology Group Limited (ACN 149 970 445) ( Company ) 2023 Share Purchase Plan ( Offer ) and are binding on any shareholder providing a completed Share Purchase Plan application form ( Application Form ) and/or application monies to the Company.

1. Offer

The Offer is an invitation to apply for fully paid ordinary shares in the Company ( Shares ) up to a maximum subscription of A$30,000 at an issue price of A$0.037 per Share ( New Shares ) ( Offer ).

The Offer is made on the same terms and conditions to all Eligible Shareholders (as defined in paragraph 2 below).

The Offer is non-renounceable.

2. Eligibility

You are eligible to apply for New Shares ( Eligible Shareholder ) if:

  • (a) your registered address in the Company’s register of members is in Australia or New Zealand (subject to the restrictions described in paragraph 16 below);

  • (b) you were registered as a holder of Shares as at 5:00pm (AWST) on Monday July 10, 2023; and

  • (c) you are not in the United States and are not acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States.

3. Issue Price

The issue price for each New Share under the Offer is A$0.037 per Share ( Issue Price ).

3

In accordance with the requirements of Australian Securities and Investments Commission Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 ( ASIC Instrument 2019/547 ), the Company notes that:

  • (a) On the last trading day immediately prior to the announcement date of the Offer (being Thursday July 6, 2023), the closing price of the Shares traded on the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ) was A$0.047 per Share. The Issue Price is a 21.3% discount to that closing price.

  • (b) The volumed weighted average market price ( VWAP ) of the Company's Shares over the last 5 trading days up to and including Thursday July 6, 2023, was A$0.0453 ( 5 Day VWAP ). The Issue Price represents an 18.3% discount to the 5 Day VWAP.

  • (c) The Issue Price is less than the market price of Shares during a 'specified period' in the 30 days before the date of the Offer (such specified period being the 5 Day VWAP).

  • (d) The market price of Shares in the Company may rise and fall between the date of the Offer and the date that any Shares are issued under the Offer.

  • (e) By making an application under the Offer, each Eligible Shareholder will be acknowledging that although the Issue Price is at a discount to the 5 Day VWAP, Shares are a highly speculative investment and the price of Shares on ASX may change between the date of the Company announcing its intention to make the Offer and the date of issue of New Shares under the Offer. The Share prices may rise or fall and the price of Shares might trade below or above the Issue Price. There can be no guarantee that trading prices will be sustained.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 5, the Issue Price is equal to or greater than 80% of the volume weighted average price for the 5 days in which trading in the Shares occurred before the date of the announcement of the Offer.

The Board recommends that you obtain your own financial and taxation advice in relation to the Offer and consider price movements of Shares prior to making an application under this Offer.

4. Number of New Shares

4.1 Application amount

If you are an Eligible Shareholder, you can apply for a minimum of A$5,000 worth of New Shares and thereafter in $A2,500 increments up to a maximum of A$30,000 worth of New Shares. Eligible Shareholders can select one of the following alternatives:

Eligible Shareholders who wish to apply for New Shares under the Offer should complete and submit an Application Form, in accordance with the instructions on the Application Form. Please read the instructions carefully.

4.2 A$30,000 maximum

In order to comply with ASIC Instrument 2019/547, the maximum value of New Shares each Eligible Shareholder (irrespective of the size of their shareholding) may apply for under the Offer is A$30,000 (including through joint holdings, multiple registered holdings, or any holding in which they have a beneficial interest(s)). This limit will apply even if you receive more than one offer from the Company (for example, because you are a joint holder of Shares or because you hold more than one shareholding under separate accounts).

The Company reserves the right to issue to an Eligible Shareholder fewer New Shares than the number applied for, for whatever reason, including to avoid the possible subscription of over A$30,000 worth of New Shares by an Eligible Shareholder (including through joint holdings, multiple registered holdings, or any holding in which they have a beneficial interest(s)).

4.3 Maximum number of New Shares to be issued and Scale Back policy

  • (a) Maximum amount : In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 5, the total number of New Shares under the Offer must not exceed 30% of the number of Shares currently on issue ( ASX Limit ). Subject to the ASX Limit, the Company reserves the right to determine the amount it raises through the Offer. At this stage, the maximum amount raised under the Offer will be capped at a total of A$1,000,000 (before costs), being a maximum of 27,027,028 New Shares. However, the Company reserves the right to change this cap at its discretion by announcement to ASX (subject to the ASX Limit).

  • (b) Oversubscriptions : The Board reserves the right to accept oversubscriptions above A$1,000,000, subject to compliance with the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act in its sole and absolute discretion.

5

  • (c) Scale back : The Board reserves the right to reject or scale back any applications in whole or in part at its absolute discretion ( Scale Back ). If there is a Scale Back, you may not receive all the New Shares for which you have applied. In the event of a Scale Back, the Company intends to prioritise allocations to retail Eligible Shareholders over institutional Eligible Shareholders (as determined by the Company). However, the Company may in its absolute discretion determine to apply the Scale Back to the extent and in the manner it sees fit, which may include taking into account a number of factors including, but not limited to:

  • (i) the size of your shareholding at the Record Date;

  • (ii) the extent to which you have sold or purchased Shares since the Record Date;

  • (iii) whether you have multiple registered holdings;

  • (iv) the date on which your application was made; and

  • (v) the total number of applications and New Shares subscribed for by Eligible Shareholders.

4.4 Return of excess application monies

In the event of a Scale Back, your application monies may be greater than the value of New Shares issued to you under the Offer, in which case the excess application monies will be refunded to you, without interest, by direct credit deposit to your nominated bank account or by cheque paid in Australian dollars (Australian Eligible Shareholders only). You can add your New Zealand or Australian banking details online through Computershare’s EasyUpdate website at www.computershare.com.au/easyupdate/HTG.

5. Participation costs

Eligible Shareholders must pay the Issue Price per New Share and any fees or charges incurred in making an application under the Offer, for example, bank fees or fees of professional advisors. No commission is payable by the Company on the issue of the New Shares and no brokerage applies.

6. Rights attaching to New Shares

The rights attaching to the New Shares are contained in the Constitution of the Company (which is available for inspection at the registered office of the Company during normal business hours). The New Shares will be issued on the same terms and rank equally in all respects with the Company's existing Shares on issue.

7. Quotation of New Shares

The Company will apply for the New Shares to be quoted on ASX in accordance with the timetable in paragraph 13.

6

If the New Shares are not quoted on ASX, the New Shares will not be issued, and all application monies will be refunded (without interest).

8. Allotment of New Shares

Subject to these terms and conditions, the New Shares will be allotted as soon as possible after the Offer closing date. The Company will send or cause to be sent to you a holding statement in due course.

9. Payment for New Shares

All amounts in this Offer are expressed in Australian dollars. If you are:

  • (a) an Australian Eligible Shareholder, you must pay for the New Shares by BPay® following the instructions on the Application Form; or

  • (b) a New Zealand Eligible Shareholder, who is unable to pay by BPay®, you may obtain your personalised Application Form at www.investorcentre.com/au (log in via ‘Single Holding’ button and follow the prompts) and access your personalised Electronic Funds Transfer form (EFT form) which contains instructions on how to pay via EFT using the relevant SWIFT Code, corresponding to the parcel amount you wish to accept. You must quote your reference number noted on your EFT form when making payment, or your funds may not be able to be matched to your eligible holding and your application monies may need to be refunded to you.

If you do not provide the exact amount, the Company reserves the right to issue you a lesser number of New Shares and (if necessary) return a portion of your funds. No interest will be paid on money returned.

10. Risks

New Shares are a speculative investment and the market price may change between the dates you apply for New Shares and the date of issue of New Shares to you. Accordingly, the value of New Shares applied for may rise or fall.

This Offer Document is not a prospectus and does not require the type of disclosures required under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) for a disclosure document. You must rely on your own knowledge of the Company, previous disclosures made by the Company to ASX, and, if necessary, consult your professional advisor when deciding whether or not to participate in the Offer.
