All Eligible Institutional Shareholders and all Eligible Retail Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 4.46 Shares held at 7.00pm (AEDT) on the Record Date.
The Entitlement Offer is comprised of two parts:
-
the Institutional Entitlement Offer – Eligible Institutional Shareholders were invited to take up their Entitlements. The Institutional Entitlement Offer closed on Wednesday, Wednesday, 28 October 2015;
-
the Retail Entitlement Offer – Eligible Retail Shareholders are now being invited to take up all or part of their Entitlement. Eligible Retail Shareholders may also apply for Additional New Shares in excess of their Entitlement up to a maximum of 50% of their Entitlement.
The Retail Entitlement Offer closes at 5.00pm (AEDT) on Monday, 16 November 2015.
The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable, which means that Entitlements are non-transferable and cannot be sold or traded.
New Shares will be issued on a fully paid basis and will rank equally with existing Shares on issue.
The Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten by Citigroup Global Markets Australia Pty Limited and CBA Equities Limited (the Underwriters ).
1.2 Who is eligible to participate the Retail Entitlement Offer
Under the Retail Entitlement Offer, Eligible Retail Shareholders are being offered the opportunity to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 4.46 Shares held as at the Record Date (7:00pm (AEDT) on 30 October 2015), at the Offer Price of A$2.20 per New Share. Eligible Retail Shareholders may also apply for Additional New Shares in excess of their Entitlement up to a maximum of 50% of their Entitlement.
Eligible Retail Shareholders are those Shareholders who:
-
(a) are not Eligible Institutional Shareholders or Ineligible Institutional Shareholders;
-
(b) are registered as a holder of Shares as at the Record Date, being 7:00pm (AEDT) on 30 October 2015 ;
-
(c) as at the Record Date, have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand;
-
(d) are not in the United States and are not acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States (to the extent they are holding Shares for the account or benefit of such person in the United States); and
-
(e) are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Entitlement Offer without any requirement for a prospectus or offer document to be lodged or registered.
8
FlexiGroup may (in its absolute sole discretion) extend the Retail Entitlement Offer to any institutional shareholder who was eligible to participate in the Institutional Entitlement Offer but was not invited to participate in the Institutional Entitlement Offer and was not treated as an Ineligible Institutional Shareholder under the Entitlement Offer (subject to compliance with applicable laws).
1.3 What is your Entitlement
Your Entitlement is set out on the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form made available with this Offer Booklet (accessible via the Offer Website or in hard copy upon request) and has been calculated as 1 New Share for every 4.46 Shares you held as at the Record Date, being 7:00pm (AEDT) on Friday, 30 October 2015. If the result is not a whole number your Entitlement will be rounded up to the nearest whole number. If you have more than one registered holding of Shares, you will have more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and you will have separate Entitlements for each separate holding.
Note: The Entitlement stated on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form may be in excess of the actual Entitlement you may be permitted to take up; for example, you are not permitted to take up an Entitlement to the extent you are holding Shares for the account or benefit of a person in the United States (see definition of Eligible Retail Shareholders in section 1.2 of this Offer Booklet).
1.4 Can you trade your Entitlement
The Entitlements are personal and cannot be traded on ASX, transferred, assigned or otherwise dealt with. If you do not take up your entitlements by Friday, 13 November 2015, your rights will lapse.
By allowing your Entitlement to lapse you will forgo any exposure to increases or decreases in the value of the New Shares had you taken up your Entitlement. Your interest in FlexiGroup will also be diluted.
1.5 Reconciliation
The Entitlement Offer is a complex structure and in some instances investors may believe that they will own more Shares in FlexiGroup than they actually do on the Record Date. This results in a need for reconciliation. If reconciliation is required, it is possible that FlexiGroup may need to issue a small quantity of additional New Shares ( Top-Up Shares ) to ensure all Eligible Shareholders receive their full Entitlement.
These Top-Up Shares would be issued is at the Offer Price.
1.6 Commencement of trading on ASX
Subject to approval being granted, trading of the New Shares is expected to commence on:
-
Friday, 6 November 2015 for New Shares issued under the Institutional Entitlement Offer (on a normal settlement basis); and
-
Wednesday, 25 November 2015 for New Shares issued under the Retail Entitlement Offer (on a normal settlement basis).
Holding statements will be despatched in accordance with the Listing Rules. It is the responsibility of each applicant to confirm their holding before trading in New Shares. Any applicant who sells
9
New Shares before receiving confirmation of their holding in the form of a holding statement will do so at their own risk. FlexiGroup and the Underwriters disclaim all liability (to the maximum extent permitted by law) to persons who trade New Shares before receiving their holding statements, whether on the basis of confirmation of the allocation provided by FlexiGroup, the Underwriters or the FlexiGroup share registry or otherwise.
1.7 Ineligible Retail Shareholders
All Shareholders who are not Eligible Retail Shareholders, Eligible Institutional Shareholders or Ineligible Institutional Shareholders are ineligible Retail Shareholders ( Ineligible Retail Shareholders ). Ineligible Retail Shareholders will not be entitled to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer.
FlexiGroup has determined that it would be unreasonable on this occasion to extend the Retail Entitlement Offer to Ineligible Retail Shareholders, having regard to the number of securities held by Ineligible Retail Shareholders, the number and value of New Shares that they would be offered and the costs of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements which would apply to an offer of securities to Ineligible Retail Shareholders in those places.
1.8 Rights of FlexiGroup and the Underwriters
(a) Adjusting Entitlements
FlexiGroup reserves the right (in its absolute sole discretion) to reduce the number of New Shares allocated to Eligible Retail Shareholders, or persons claiming to be Eligible Retail Shareholders, if their claims prove to be overstated or they fail to provide information to substantiate their claims.
(b) Oversubscription
If any Shareholder subscribes under the Entitlement Offer for New Shares in excess of its Entitlement which exceeds 50% of its Entitlement then, in the absolute discretion of FlexiGroup and the Underwriters, the relevant Shareholder may be required to transfer to the Underwriters the excess New Shares at the Offer Price of A$2.20. If necessary, the relevant Shareholder will be required to transfer existing Shares held by them or to purchase Shares on market to meet this obligation. The relevant Shareholder will bear any and all losses caused by subscribing for New Shares in excess of its Entitlement and any actions it is required to take in this regard.
(c) Acknowledgement
By accepting their Entitlement, Shareholders irrevocably acknowledge and agree to do any of the above as required by FlexiGroup and the Underwriters in their absolute discretion. Shareholders also acknowledge that:
-
there is no time limit on the ability of FlexiGroup and the Underwriters to require any of the actions set out above; and
-
where FlexiGroup and the Underwriters exercise their right to correct a Shareholder's Entitlement, the Shareholder is treated as continuing to accept or not take up any remaining Entitlement.

(b) Payment by BPAY®
For payment by BPAY®, please follow the instructions on the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form (which includes the biller code and your unique reference number). You can only make a payment via BPAY® if you are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY® transactions.
If you are paying by BPAY®, please make sure to use the specific Biller Code and unique Reference Number on your Entitlement and Acceptance Form. If you have multiple holdings and receive more than one Entitlement and Acceptance Form, when taking up your Entitlement in respect of one of those holdings, please only use the Reference Number specific to the Entitlement on that Form. If you do not use the correct Reference Number specific to that holding, or inadvertently use the same Reference Number for more than one of your Entitlements, your application will not be recognised as valid.
Please note that should you choose to pay by BPAY®:
- you do not need to submit the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the statements on that personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form; and
13
- if you do not pay for your full Entitlement, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of New Shares which is covered in full by your Application Monies.
It is your responsibility to ensure that your BPAY® payment is received by the Registry by no later than 5:00pm (AEDT) on Monday, 16 November 2015 (subject to variation). You should be aware that your financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regard to electronic payment and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment.

Your cheque, bank draft or money order must be:
-
for an amount equal to A$2.20 multiplied by the number of New Shares that you are applying for; and

If the amount of your cheque for Application Monies (or the amount for which the cheque clears in time for allocation) is insufficient to pay in full for the number of New Shares you have applied for in your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, you will be taken to have applied for such lower number of whole New Shares as your cleared Application Monies will pay for (and you will be taken to have specified that number of New Shares on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form).

3. AUSTRALIAN TAX IMPLICATIONS
This section summarises the general Australian taxation implications of the Retail Entitlement Offer for Australian resident Eligible Retail Shareholders who hold their Shares on capital account for Australian income tax purposes.
These comments do not apply to:
-
Eligible Retail Shareholders who are not residents of Australia for tax purposes, or
-
Eligible Retail Shareholders who carry on a business of life insurance or hold their Shares on revenue account (rather than on capital account) or as trading stock for Australian income tax purposes, or
-
an Entitlement in respect of Shares previously acquired under an employee share scheme, or
-
an Entitlement, or New Shares, covered by an election to apply the fair value method or financial reports method in the taxation of financial arrangements rules in the income tax law; or
-
an oversubscription for New Shares, as described in paragraph 1.8(b) of this booklet.
These comments are general in nature. The tax implications of the Retail Entitlement Offer will depend upon each Eligible Retail Shareholder’s specific circumstances. Accordingly, all Eligible Retail Shareholders should seek their own independent taxation advice before reaching any conclusions as to the possible taxation consequences of the Retail Entitlement Offer. Neither FlexiGroup, nor any of its officers, nor its taxation adviser, nor any other advisor to FlexiGroup, accepts any liability or responsibility in respect of any statement concerning the taxation consequences of the Retail Entitlement Offer.
These comments are based on the law and administrative practice as at the time of issue of the Offer Booklet.
(a) Issue of Entitlements
The issue of an Entitlement should not of itself result in an amount being included in the assessable income of an Eligible Retail Shareholder.
(b) Acceptance of Entitlements
Eligible Retail Shareholders to whom this commentary applies should not make any capital gain or loss, or derive assessable income, from exercising their Entitlements or subscribing for New Shares.
(c) New Shares
Eligible Retail Shareholders who exercise their Entitlements will acquire New Shares. Any future dividends or other distributions made in respect of those New Shares will be subject to the same taxation treatment as dividends or other distributions made on Shares held in the same circumstances.
On a future disposal of New Shares, Eligible Retail Shareholders may make a capital gain or capital loss for Australian tax purposes, depending on whether the capital proceeds from that disposal are more than the "cost base" of the New Shares (in which case a capital gain will arise) or less than
17
the "reduced cost base" of the New Shares (in which case a capital loss will arise). The cost base of the New Shares will initially be equal to the Offer Price paid by the Eligible Retail Shareholder for the New Shares plus certain non-deductible incidental costs incurred in acquiring them. The "reduced cost base" of the New Shares may not be the same as, and may be less than, the cost base of the New Shares.
If an Eligible Retail Shareholder is an individual, trust or complying superannuation fund, the Eligible Retail Shareholder should be entitled to a CGT discount on the disposal of New Shares if, before being disposed of, the New Shares were held for at least 12 months (which, in the view of the Taxation Office, does not include the dates of acquisition and disposal of the New Shares). New Shares will be treated for the purposes of the CGT discount as having been acquired when the Eligible Shareholder accepted the Entitlement Offer in respect of the New Shares. The applicable CGT discount (ie, the amount by which a capital gain is reduced for tax purposes) is 50% for individuals and trustees and 33•% for complying superannuation funds. The CGT discount is not available to a company other than a company acting in the capacity of a trustee.
If a capital loss arises on the disposal of New Shares, the capital loss can only be used to offset capital gains. i.e. the capital loss cannot be offset against ordinary income. However, if the capital loss cannot be used in a particular income year it can be carried forward to use in future income years, provided certain utilisation tests are satisfied.
(d) Lapse of Entitlements
If an Eligible Retail Shareholder allows an Entitlement to lapse, no capital gain or loss should arise for the Eligible Retail Shareholder.
(e) Other Australian Taxes
No Australian GST or stamp duty should be is payable in respect of the grant or exercise of the Entitlements, or the acquisition of New Shares.

could, if they eventuate, have a material adverse effect on FlexiGroup’s operating and financial performance. You should note that the risks in this section are not
exhaustive of the risks faced by a potential investor in FlexiGroup. You should consider carefully the risks described in this section, as well as other information in
this presentation, and consult your financial or other professional adviser before making an investment decision.
General Risks
• There are general risks associated with an investment in the share market. As such, the value of New Shares may rise above or fall below the
offer price, depending on the financial position and operating performance of FlexiGroup and other factors. Further, the market price of
Share Price Risk FlexiGroup shares will fluctuate due to various factors, many of which are non-specific to FlexiGroup, including recommendations by brokers and analysts, Australian and international general economic conditions, inflation rates, interest rates, changes in government, fiscal, monetary
and regulatory policies, global geo-political events and hostilities and acts of terrorism, investor perceptions and volatility in global markets. In
the future, these factors may cause FlexiGroup shares to trade at a lower price.
• Future changes in taxation law in Australia, New Zealand and in other jurisdictions, including changes in interpretation or application of the law
Taxation by the courts or taxation authorities in Australia or other jurisdictions, may impact the future tax liabilities of FlexiGroup or may affect taxation
treatment of an investment in FlexiGroup shares, or the holding or disposal of those shares.
• FlexiGroup prepares its general purpose financial statements in accordance with AIFRS and with the Corporations Act. Australian Accounting
Accounting Standards Standards are subject to amendment from time to time, and any such changes may impact on FlexiGroup’s statement of financial position or
statement of financial performance.
• Under AIFRS, FlexiGroup is required to review the carrying value of its assets annually or whenever there is an indication of impairment. If
Asset Impairment there is any indication of impairment, then the assets recoverable amount is estimated. Changes in key assumptions underlying the recoverable amount of certain assets of FlexiGroup (or of F&P Finance post-acquisition) could result in an impairment of such assets, which
may have a material adverse effect on FlexiGroup’s financial performance and position.

• FlexiGroup is exposed to movements in exchange rates. FlexiGroup’s financial statements are expressed and maintained in Australian dollars.
Exchange Rates and New Zealand exposure account or assets and liabilities of FlexiGroup and F&P Finance, to the extent the foreign exchange rate risk is not hedged or not appropriately Following the Acquisition, FlexiGroup will have significantly increased exposure to New Zealand. A substantial portion of FlexiGroup’s income post-acquisition will be earned in New Zealand dollars. Exchange rate movements affecting these currencies may impact the profit and loss
hedged.
• Any deterioration in the global economy or the jurisdictions in which FlexiGroup operates in may have a material adverse effect on the
Domestic and Global performance of FlexiGroup’s business, particularly matters which adversely affect the key indicators of consumer sentiment, economic growth
Economic Conditions and unemployment rates. Particularly, significantly higher unemployment, higher interest rates may result in lower retail spending, an increase
in loan default rates or reduced demand for credit, all of which would adversely impact on FlexiGroup's earnings.
Specific Risks
Strength of Retail and Retail Financing Sector • retail financing may also drive business volume, and negative consumer sentiment will impact FlexiGroup's financial position.FlexiGroup’s business is influenced by the general state of the retail sector and a reduction in retail spending, particularly on goods financed by FlexiGroup, may have a negative impact on the new business volume and hence FlexiGroup’s financial position. Consumer sentiment towards

Managing Growth and financial systems, procedures and controls and expand, retain, manage and train its employees. There is a risk of a material adverse
impact on FlexiGroup if it is not able to manage its expansion and growth efficiently and effectively.
• From time to time FlexiGroup evaluates acquisition opportunities. Any acquisition would lead to a change in the sources of FlexiGroup's
Acquisition Activities earnings and could increase the volatility of its earnings. Integration of new businesses into FlexiGroup may be costly and may not generate expected earnings and may occupy a large amount of management’s time. There is no guarantee that future potential acquisitions will be
available on favourable terms or that they will be successfully integrated.

Dependence on Key Management Personnel • key management personnel could materially adversely affect FlexiGroup's business, operating and financial performance. The operating and financial performance of FlexiGroup is largely dependent on its ability to retain and attract key management personnel. Whilst FlexiGroup makes every effort to retain key management personnel, there can be no guarantee that it will be able to do so. Any loss of
• FlexiGroup and F&P Finance each operate in highly regulated industries. Changes in law or regulation in a market in which FlexiGroup or F&P
Finance operates could materially impact their business, operating and financial performance.
• FlexiGroup's and F&P Finance's business, operating or financial performance may also be adversely affected by the impact of laws on the
enforceability of their loans (or related securities). For example, changes to the law of penalties could result in contractual provisions such as
late payment, dishonour and over-limit fees being unenforceable, and FlexiGroup and F&P Finance's loans (or related security) could be
adversely affected in other ways by non-compliance with laws or regulatory requirements. Such events or circumstances may materially
adversely affect their business, operating or financial performance either directly or indirectly (for example through liabilities they may have to
their respective third party funders or funding vehicles) in connection with the origination and servicing of loans.
• FlexiGroup's business activities in Australia are primarily regulated by ASIC under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), the Australian Securities
and Investment Act 2001 (Cth), the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009 ( National Credit Act ) and the National Credit Code. There
is a risk that FlexiGroup could face legal or regulatory sanctions or reputational damage as a result of any failure to comply with applicable
Regulatory Risk laws, regulations, codes of conduct and applicable standards. A breach of any of these could result in fines, penalties, the payment of
compensation or the cancellation or suspension of FlexiGroup's ability to carry on certain of its activities or businesses. This could materially
adversely affect FlexiGroup's business, operating and financial performance.
• In particular, FlexiGroup is regulated by the National Credit Act and the National Credit Code in relation to its consumer leasing business. The
National Credit Act imposes a number of obligations on FlexiGroup. For example, FlexiGroup has to comply with statutory obligations in
relation to responsible lending, disclosure and enforcement. Over the past 12 months in particular, ASIC has had an industry wide focus on
compliance with responsible lending requirements. As part of that process, FlexiGroup has been and continues to be in correspondence with
ASIC in relation to its responsible lending practices. This process may result in a range of outcomes, including agreements being reached or
undertakings being given to ASIC in respect of changes to FlexiGroup's responsible lending practices, which may impact on FlexiGroup's
business, operating and financial performance.
• FlexiGroup proactively tracks the external regulatory environment in which it operates to ensure that it is able to manage a constructive
dialogue with and can respond proactively to the key strategies and priorities of its primary regulators.
• Technology plays an important role in the delivery of services to customers in a cost effective manner. FlexiGroup's ability to compete
Changes in Technology effectively in the future will, in part, be driven by its ability to maintain (including update where required) and secure an appropriate technology platform for the efficient delivery of its products and services. FXL plans to focus on investing in core IT systems and digital capability to
support future business growth.

• There is substantial competition within the specialty finance sector in which FlexiGroup operates. The effect of competitive market conditions
Industry Competition may adversely impact the earnings and assets of FlexiGroup. In particular, any reduction in fees or interest rate margins in line with, or to
remain competitive with, the sector in which FlexiGroup operates, could materially adversely affect FlexiGroup's financial performance.
• Certain of FlexiGroup's debt facilities will need to be refinanced at various maturity dates. The inability to refinance these facilities on
Corporate Debt satisfactory terms could adversely affect FlexiGroup's financial performance and prospects. To the extent that additional equity or debt funding
Refinancing Risk is not available from time to time on acceptable terms, or at all, FlexiGroup may not be able to take advantage of acquisition and other growth
opportunities, develop new ideas or respond to competitive pressures.
• Credit market conditions and the operating and financial performance of FlexiGroup will affect borrowing costs as well as the company’s
Credit Risk capacity to repay, refinance or increase its corporate debt. FlexiGroup is subject to covenants in its corporate debt facilities, including liquidity and leverage tests. If FlexiGroup were to breach any of these covenants, its corporate debt could be immediately declared repayable and there
is no guarantee that FlexiGroup would have sufficient cash flow or be able to source refinancing on acceptable terms.
• FlexiGroup's platform comprises a mix of financing sources. Across the various markets that FlexiGroup operates in, it depends upon these
sources to fund its operations and therefore faces funding risks. A loss of or adverse impact on or in relation to one or more of its funding
Funding Risk sources, if it is unable to access alternative sources of funding, could limit FlexiGroup's ability to write new business or to write business on
terms which are competitive, or to refinance existing facilities, all of which could materially adversely affect FlexiGroup's business, operating
and financial performance.
• As with all businesses, FlexiGroup is exposed to potential legal and other claims or disputes in the course of its business, including contractual
disputes, work health and safety claims and other liability claims in relation to the services that it provides. FlexiGroup takes legal advice in
Litigation and Claims respect of such claims and, where relevant, makes provisions and disclosure regarding such claims in its consolidated financial statements.
Although FlexiGroup seeks to minimise the risk of such claims arising, and their impact if they do arise, such claims will arise from time to time
and could materially adversely affect FlexiGroup's business, operating and financial performance.
• The payment of dividends on FlexiGroup’s shares is dependent on a range of factors including the profitability of its group, the availability of
Future Payment of cash, capital requirements of the business and obligations under debt instruments. Any future dividend levels will be determined by the
Dividends FlexiGroup board having regard to its operating results and financial position at the relevant time. That said, there is no guarantee that any
dividend will be paid by FlexiGroup or, if paid, that they will be paid or franked at previous levels.

Acquisition-Specific Risks
• Completion of the acquisition is conditional on certain matters including (1) Overseas Investment Act ( OIA ) approval; (2) Reserve Bank of New
Zealand ( RBNZ ) consent in accordance with the Non-bank Deposit Takers Act ( NBDT Act ); (3) RBNZ satisfaction that Consumer Insurance
Services Limited ( CISL ) will continue to meet the criteria set out in the Insurance (Prudential Supervision) Act 2010 entitling CISL to remain
licensed pursuant to that Act.
• If these conditions are not satisfied or waived by the parties, the acquisition will not complete. In addition, FlexiGroup is able to withdraw from
Completion risks the acquisition if a material adverse change occurs in the target group’s funding (subject to payment of a break fee).
• Where the acquisition is not completed, FlexiGroup will assess the most appropriate way to return proceeds (net of transaction costs) to
shareholders on its register at that time the return of proceeds is made.
• There is no prescribed period within which the consent of RBNZ under the NBDT Act and the OIA approval must be given. It is expected that
those approvals will take at least 3 months and there is a risk that they will take longer. RBNZ can also impose any terms and conditions on its
consent as it sees fit.
• FlexiGroup undertook a due diligence process in respect of F&P Finance, which relied in part on the review of financial and other information
provided by the vendors or F&P Finance. Despite taking reasonable efforts, FlexiGroup has not been able to verify the accuracy, reliability or
completeness of all the information which was provided to it against independent data. Similarly, FlexiGroup has prepared (and made
assumptions in the preparation of) the unaudited financial information relating to F&P Finance on a stand-alone basis and also to FlexiGroup

provided such information provided to and relied upon by FlexiGroup in its due diligence process and in its preparation of this Presentation proves to be
incorrect, incomplete or misleading, there is a risk that the actual financial position and performance of F&P Finance and the combined group
may be materially different to the expectations reflected in this Presentation. Investors should also note that there is no assurance that the due
diligence conducted was conclusive and that all material issues and risks in respect of the acquisition have been identified. Therefore there is
a risk that unforeseen issues and risks may arise which also have a material impact on FlexiGroup.

Acquisition-Specific Risks (Cont’d)
• FlexiGroup has undertaken financial, business and other analysis of F&P Finance in order to determine its attractiveness to FlexiGroup and
Analysis of Acquisition Opportunity whether to pursue the acquisition. It is possible that such analyses, and the best estimate assumptions made by FlexiGroup, draws conclusions and forecasts that are inaccurate or which are not realised in due course. To the extent that the actual results achieved by F&P Finance are different than those indicated by FlexiGroup's analysis, there is a risk that the profitability and future earnings of the operations of
the combined group may be materially different from the profitability and earnings expected as reflected in this Presentation.
• FlexiGroup has undrawn capacity within its existing facility and has approval to increase that capacity for the purposes of funding the
Debt Funding Risk acquisition. In the unlikely event that formal documentation to increase the existing facility capacity is not executed, or any of the conditions to draw down under the facility are not satisfied, FlexiGroup may need to find alternative funding which may not be provided on equivalent terms

FlexiGroup believes this would be possible there is no guarantee that alternative funding could be sourced either at all or on satisfactory terms
and conditions.

• In accounting for the acquisition in the pro-forma historical combined balance sheet, FlexiGroup assumed that the book value of the assets and
liabilities of F&P Finance represents their fair value as at 30 June 2015. The excess of total consideration paid over F&P Finance net assets at
30 June 2015 is considered goodwill. FlexiGroup will undertake a formal fair value assessment of all of the assets, liabilities and contingent
Acquisition Accounting liabilities of F&P Finance post-acquisition, which may give rise to a materially different fair value allocation to that used for purposes of the pro-
