This Prospectus is dated 27 October 2022 and was lodged with the ASIC on that date. The ASIC, ASX and their respective officers take no responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus or the merits of the investment to which this Prospectus relates.
No Securities may be issued on the basis of this Prospectus later than 13 months after the date of this Prospectus. No person is authorised to give information or to make any representation in connection with this Prospectus, which is not contained in this Prospectus. Any information or representation not so contained may not be relied on as having been authorised by the Company in connection with this Prospectus.
It is important that investors read this Prospectus in its entirety and seek professional advice where necessary. The Securities offered by this Prospectus should be considered as highly speculative.
Applications for Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus can only be made by an original Entitlement and Acceptance Form or Shortfall Application Form.
This Prospectus is a transaction specific prospectus for an offer of continuously quoted securities (as defined in the Corporations Act) and has been prepared in accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act. It does not contain the same level of disclosure as an initial public offering prospectus and is only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on a company and the rights attaching to the securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.
Representations contained in this Prospectus are made taking into account that the Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and certain matters are publicly available information or may reasonably be expected to be known to investors and professional advisers whom prospective investors may consult.
No Investment Advice
The information contained in this Prospectus is not financial product advice or investment advice and does not take into account your
financial or investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs (including financial or taxation issues). You should seek professional advice from your accountant, financial adviser, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser before deciding to subscribe for Securities under this Prospectus to determine whether it meets your objectives, financial situation and needs.
Forward - looking statements
This Prospectus contains forwardlooking statements which are identified by words such as ‘may’, ‘could’, ‘believes’, ‘estimates’, ‘targets’, ‘expects’, or ‘intends’ and other similar words that involve risks and uncertainties.
These statements are based on an assessment of present economic and operating conditions, and on a number of assumptions regarding future events and actions that, as at the date of this Prospectus, are expected to take place.
Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, the Directors and the Company’s management.
The Company cannot and does not give any assurance that the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forwardlooking statements contained in this Prospectus will actually occur and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forwardlooking statements.
The Company has no intention to update or revise forward-looking statements, or to publish prospective financial information in the future, regardless of whether new information, future events or any other factors affect the information contained in this Prospectus, except where required by law.
These forward-looking statements are subject to various risk factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or anticipated in these statements. These risk factors are set out in Section 5.
Overseas shareholders
This Offer does not, and is not intended to, constitute an offer in any place or jurisdiction in which, or
to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus.
It is not practicable for the Company to comply with the securities laws of overseas jurisdictions having regard to the number of overseas Shareholders, the number and value of Shares these Shareholders would be offered and the cost of complying with regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Offer is not being extended and Securities will not be issued to Shareholders with a registered address which is outside Australia or New Zealand.
For further information on overseas Shareholders please refer to Section 2.9.
Continuous disclosure obligations
The Company is a “disclosing entity” (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of section 713 of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Securities.
This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.
Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the three months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX.
Please refer to Section 6.2 for further details.

The Company will only distribute this Prospectus to those investors who fall within the target market determination ( TMD ) as set out on the Company’s website (www.identitii.com).

Electronic Prospectus
A copy of this Prospectus can be downloaded from the website of the Company at www.identitii.com. If you are accessing the electronic version of this Prospectus for the purpose of making an investment in the Company, you must be an Australian or New Zealand resident and must only access this Prospectus from within Australia or New Zealand.
The Corporations Act prohibits any person passing onto another person an Application Form unless it is attached to a hard copy of this Prospectus or it accompanies the complete and unaltered version of this Prospectus. You may obtain a hard copy of this Prospectus free of charge by contacting the Company by phone on +61 2 8806 0438 during office hours or by emailing the Company at [email protected].
The Company reserves the right not to accept an Application Form from a person if it has reason to believe that when that person was given access to the electronic Application Form, it was not provided together with the electronic Prospectus and any relevant supplementary or replacement prospectus or any of those documents were incomplete or altered.
Company Website
No documents or other information available on the Company’s website is incorporated into this Prospectus by reference.
Financial forecasts
The Directors have considered the matters set out in ASIC Regulatory Guide 170 and believe that they do not have a reasonable basis to forecast future earnings on the basis that the operations of the Company are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, any forecast or projection information would contain such a broad range of potential outcomes and possibilities
that it is not possible to prepare a reliable best estimate forecast or projection.
Clearing House Electronic SubRegister System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship
The Company will apply to participate in CHESS, for those investors who have, or wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company.
Electronic sub-registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with statements (similar to a bank account statement) that set out the number of Securities issued to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.
Electronic sub-registers also mean ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation. Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.
Photographs and Diagrams
Photographs used in this Prospectus which do not have descriptions are for illustration only and should not be interpreted to mean that any person shown endorses the Prospectus or its contents or that the assets shown in them are owned by the Company. Diagrams used in this Prospectus are illustrative only and may not be drawn to scale.
Definitions and Time
Unless the contrary intention appears or the context otherwise requires, words and phrases contained in this Prospectus have the same meaning and interpretation as given in the Corporations Act and capitalised terms have the meaning given in the Glossary in Section 7.
All references to time in this Prospectus are references to Australian Eastern Daylight Time.
Privacy statement
If you complete an Application Form, you will be providing personal information to the Company. The Company collects, holds and will use that information to assess your application, service your needs as a Shareholder and to facilitate
distribution payments and corporate communications to you as a Shareholder. The information may also be used from time to time and disclosed to persons inspecting the register, including bidders for your securities in the context of takeovers, regulatory bodies including the Australian Taxation Office, authorised securities brokers, print service providers, mail houses and the share registry.
You can access, correct and update the personal information that we hold about you. If you wish to do so, please contact the share registry at the relevant contact number set out in this Prospectus.
Collection, maintenance and disclosure of certain personal information is governed by legislation including the Privacy Act 1988 (as amended), the Corporations Act and certain rules such as the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. You should note that if you do not provide the information required on the application for Securities, the Company may not be able to accept or process your application.

1.3 Key Risk Factors
Prospective investors should be aware that subscribing for Securities involves a number of risks and an investment in the Company should be considered as highly speculative. The future performance of the Company and the value of the Securities may be influenced by a range of factors, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The key risks associated with the Company’s business, the industry in which it operates and general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities and financial markets generally are set out in Section 5.
6
5354-05/3082357/11
The predominant risks relating to the Company and the Offer are summarised below:
| Risk | Description | Further Information |
|---|---|---|
| Potential for dilution |
Upon implementation of the Offer, assuming all Entitlements are accepted, no other Shares are issued, and no Options are exercised prior to the Record Date, the number of Shares in the Company will increase from 201,209,923 as at the Record Date to 301,814,884 Shares. This means that immediately after the Offer each Share will represent a lower proportion of the ownership of the Company. |
Section 5.2 |
| Additional requirements for capital |
Depending on the Company’s ability to generate income from its operations, the Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the Offer. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration programmes as the case may be. |
Section 5.2 |
| Going concern |
The Company’s Annual Financial Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2022 (FY22) (Financial Report) includes a note on the financial condition of the Company. The Directors have concluded there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will continue to be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable for a period of no less than 12 months from the date of signing this financial report and that the preparation of the 30 June 2022 Financial Report on a going concern basis is appropriate. |
Section 5.2 |
| Competition | The business of providing enterprise software for the financial services industry in order to solve challenges for international wire transfers is highly competitive and includes companies with significantly greater financial, technical, human, research and development and marketing resources than the Company. There is also currently significant interest in adopting blockchain technology for this purpose, including among banks, financial intermediaries, financial technology start-ups and others. |
Section 5.2 |
7
5354-05/3082357/11
| Failure to attract new customers |
The Company may fail to attract new customers for a number of reasons, such as the failure to meet customer expectations or requirements, poor customer service, pricing or competition. The Company’s ability to retain and renew existing contracts and win new contracts may also be impacted by broader external factors, including a slowdown in economic activity, changes to law or changes to regulation. |
Section 5.2 |
|---|---|---|
| Product disruption |
The rapid pace of innovation and development within the industry, together with the high number of competitors means that there are no guarantees the Company’s products will be effective or economic. There is a risk that any of the Company’s competitors’ products, services or offerings may render the Company’s products, services or offerings obsolete or uncompetitive. |
Section 5.2 |
| Business strategy risk |
The Company’s future growth and financial performance is dependent on the Company’s ability to successfully execute its business strategy. This will be impacted by a number of factors, including the Company’s ability to expand through new channels and develop within Australian and international financial services markets for its current commercialised products and services; ability to successfully commercialise its current products and services and being able to provide these products and services; innovate and successfully commercialise new products that are appealing to customers; and comply with regulatory requirements (reflecting the sensitive regulatory nature or highly regulated environment in which the Company’s customers operate their business). |
Section 5.2 |
| Inability to retain key staff |
The Company currently employs a number of key management personnel and the Company’s future depends on retaining appropriately qualified and experienced personnel. The loss of any of these employee’s services could materially and adversely affect the Company and may impede the achievement of its product development and commercialisation objectives. |
Section 5.2 |
| Risks associated with the Company’s intellectual property and trade secrets |
These risks include dependence on technology rights and intellectual property, patent risk, infringement of third party intellectual property rights and trade secret risks. |
Section 5.2 |

1,590,608 Shares indirectly held by Elorey Pty Ltd, an entity controlled by John Rayment.
-
8,000,000 unlisted Options exercisable at $0.15, expiring on 21 October 2025, which will provide an additional Entitlement should they be exercised prior to the Record Date.
The Board recommends all Shareholders take up their Entitlements. The Directors reserve the right to take up their respective Entitlement in whole or in part at their discretion. The Board advises that Messrs Phillipps and Rayment intend to take up their full Entitlements.
1.5 Details of Substantial Holders
Based on publicly available information as at the date of this Prospectus, the Company does not have any substantial holders.
1.6 Effect on Control
Based on current shareholding and Entitlements of Shareholders (including substantial Shareholders) as at the date of this Prospectus, regardless of the amount raised under the Offer, no Shareholder will increase their holding, to an amount in excess of 19.9% through applying for their Entitlements.
Further as set out in Section 2.6, on the basis of the allocation policy, no person will acquire, through participation in the Shortfall Offer a holding of Shares of, or increase their holding to, an amount in excess of 19.9% of all the Shares on issue on completion of the Offer.
Further there will be no change to any Shareholder’s voting power as a result of the issue of the New Options. Where New Options are exercised into Shares, the voting power of the Shareholders who exercise the New Options will increase. The likelihood of New Options being exercised is dependent on the price of Shares from time to time until the New Options expire.
1.7
Potential dilution on non-participating Shareholders
In addition to potential control impacts set out in Section 1.6, Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Offer, their holdings are likely to be diluted by approximately 33.3% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Prospectus).
9
5354-05/3082357/11
No immediate dilution will occur as a result of the issue of New Options under this Prospectus. However subsequent exercise of any or all of the New Options will result in dilution. Assuming all New Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus are issued and exercised into Shares, Shareholders who do not participate in the Offer, are likely to be diluted by an aggregate of approximately 42.9% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus).
For illustrative purposes, the table below shows how the dilution may impact the holdings of Shareholders:
| Holder | Holding as at Record date |
% at Record Date |
Entitlements under the Offer |
Holdings if Offer not taken Up |
% post Offer |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shareholder 1 | 10,000,000 | 4.97% | 5,000,000 | 10,000,000 | 3.31% |
| Shareholder 2 | 5,000,000 | 2.48% | 2,500,000 | 5,000,000 | 1.66% |
| Shareholder 3 | 1,500,000 | 0.75% | 750,000 | 1,500,000 | 0.50% |
| Shareholder 4 | 400,000 | 0.20% | 200,000 | 400,000 | 0.13% |
| Shareholder 5 | 50,000 | 0.02% | 25,000 | 50,000 | 0.02% |
| Total | 201,209,923 | 100,604,961 | 301,814,884 |
Notes:
-
The table assumed full subscription of under the Offer.
-
This is based on a share capital of 201,209,923 Shares as at the date of the Prospectus and assumes no Options currently on issue or other Shares are issued including New Options are exercised.
-
The dilutionary effect shown in the table is the maximum percentage on the assumption that those Entitlements not accepted by Eligible Shareholders are placed under the Shortfall Offer. In the event all Entitlements are not accepted and some or all of the resulting Shortfall was not subsequently placed, the dilution effect for each Shareholder not accepting their Entitlement would be a lesser percentage.

Section 2.3 and Section 2.4 |
| Allow all or part of your Entitlement to lapse |
If you do not wish to accept any part of your Entitlement, you are not obliged to do anything. If you do not take up your Entitlement by the Closing Date, the Offer to you will lapse. |
N/A |
The Offer is non-renounceable. Accordingly, a Shareholder may not sell or transfer all or part of their Entitlement.

2.3 Payment options
(a) By BPAY®
For payment by BPAY®, please follow the instructions on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. 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. Please note that should you choose to pay by BPAY®:
-
(i) you do not need to submit the Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form;
-
(ii) if you do not pay for your Entitlement in full, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of Shares which is covered in full by your Application monies; and
-
(iii) if you pay more than is required to subscribe for your Entitlement, you will be taken to have applied for Shortfall Securities (if any) under the Shortfall Offer, to the extent of the excess.
You should be aware that your own financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regard to electronic payment, and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment. It is your responsibility to ensure that funds submitted through BPAY® are received by 5:00pm (AEDT) on the Closing Date. The Company shall not be responsible for any delay in the receipt of the BPAY® payment.
Guidance where you have more than one CRN (Shareholding of Shares)
If you have more than one shareholding of Shares and consequently receive more than one Entitlement and Acceptance Form, when taking up your Entitlement in respect of one of those Shareholdings only use the CRN specific to that Shareholding as set out in the applicable Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Do not use the same CRN for more than one of your Shareholdings . This can result in your Application monies being applied to your Entitlement in respect of only one of your Shareholdings (with the result that any Application in respect of your remaining Shareholdings will not be valid).
(b) By Cheque
All cheques must be drawn on an Australian bank or bank draft made payable in Australian currency to “Identitii Limited” and crossed “Not Negotiable”.
Your completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form and cheque must reach the Company’s share registry no later than 5:00pm (AEDT) on the Closing Date.
13
5354-05/3082357/11
2.4 Implications of an acceptance
Returning a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form or paying any Application monies by BPAY® will be taken to constitute a representation by you that:
-
(a) you have received a copy of this Prospectus and the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form, and read them both in their entirety;
-
(b) you acknowledge that once the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is returned, or a BPAY® payment instruction is given in relation to any Application monies, the application may not be varied or withdrawn except as required by law.
2.5 Minimum subscription
There is no minimum subscription.
2.6 Shortfall Offer
Any Entitlement not taken up pursuant to the Offer will form the Shortfall Offer ( Shortfall Securities ). The Shortfall Offer is a separate offer made pursuant to this Prospectus and will remain open for up to three months following the Closing Date. The issue price for each Share to be issued under the Shortfall Offer shall be $0.04 being the price at which Shares have been offered under the Offer.
If you do not wish to take up any part of your Entitlement you are not required to take any action. That part of your Entitlement not taken up will form part of the Shortfall Offer and potentially be allocated to other Eligible Shareholders or other third parties as part of the Shortfall Offer. The Shortfall Offer will only be available where there is a Shortfall between applications received from Eligible Shareholders and the number of Shares proposed to be issued under the Offer.
Eligible Shareholders who wish to subscribe for Securities above their Entitlement are invited to apply for Shortfall Securities under the Shortfall Offer by completing the appropriate section on their Entitlement and Acceptance Form or by making payment for such Shortfall Securities in accordance with Sections 2.3.
The Board presently intends to allocate Shortfall Securities as follows:
-
(a) to Eligible Shareholders who apply for an excess of their full Entitlement, so long as the issue of Shortfall Securities to that Eligible Shareholder would not take their voting power to in excess of 19.99%; and then
-
(b) to other parties identified by the Directors, which may include parties who are not currently Shareholders.
No Shares will be issued to a party under the Shortfall Offer if the effect would be to increase that party’s voting power in the Company to an amount greater than 19.99%.
The Company reserves the right to issue an Eligible Shareholder a lesser number of Shortfall Securities than applied for or no Shortfall Securities at all. However, the Directors do not intend to refuse an application for Shortfall Securities from Eligible Shareholders other than in circumstances of oversubscription or where acceptance may result in a breach of the Corporations Act. If the number of Shortfall Securities applied for by Eligible Shareholders exceeds the total Shortfall,
14
5354-05/3082357/11
the Shortfall Securities will be allocated among applying Eligible Shareholders proportionate to their existing holdings.
All decisions regarding the allocation of Shortfall Securities will be made by the Directors and will be final and binding on all applicants under the Shortfall Offer; as such there is no guarantee that any Shortfall Securities applied for will be issued to Eligible Shareholders.
The Company will have no liability to any Applicant who receives less than the number of Shortfall Securities they applied for under the Shortfall Offer. If the Company scales back any applications for Shortfall Securities under the Shortfall Offer any Application monies will be returned (without interest) as soon as practicable.
2.7
ASX listing
Application for Official Quotation of the Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus will be made within 7 days after the date of this Prospectus. If ASX does not grant Official Quotation of the Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus before the expiration of three months after the date of issue of the Prospectus, (or such period as varied by the ASIC), the Company will not issue any Shares and will repay all Application monies for the Shares within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.
Application for Official Quotation of the New Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus will also be made within 7 days after the date of this Prospectus. If ASX does not grant Official Quotation of the New Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus before the expiration of three months after the date of issue of the Prospectus, (or such period as varied by the ASIC), the Company will not issue any New Options.
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 for subscription.
2.8 Issue of Securities
Securities issued pursuant to the Offer will be issued in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and timetable set out at Section 1.
Securities issued pursuant to the Shortfall Offer will be issued on a progressive basis. Where the number of Securities issued is less than the number applied for, or where no issue is made surplus Application monies will be refunded without any interest to the Applicant as soon as practicable after the closing date of the Shortfall Offer.
Pending the issue of the Securities or payment of refunds pursuant to this Prospectus, all Application monies will be held by the Company in 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.
Holding statements for Securities issued under the Offer will be mailed as soon as practicable after the issue of Securities and for Shortfall Securities issued under the Shortfall Offer as soon as practicable after their issue.

2.9 Overseas shareholders
This Offer does not, and is not intended to, constitute an offer in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus.
It is not practicable for the Company to comply with the securities laws of overseas jurisdictions having regard to the number of overseas Shareholders, the number and value of Securities these Shareholders would be offered and the cost of complying with regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Offer is not being extended and Shares will not be issued to Shareholders with a registered address which is outside Australia or New Zealand.

The Securities are not being offered to the public within New Zealand other than to existing shareholders of the Company with registered addresses in New Zealand to whom the offer of these securities is being made in reliance on the transitional provisions of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (New Zealand) and the Financial Markets Conduct (Incidental Offers) Exemption Notice 2021 (New Zealand).
This Prospectus has been prepared in compliance with Australian law and has not been registered, filed with or approved by any New Zealand regulatory authority. This document is not a product disclosure statement under New Zealand law and is not required to, and may not, contain all the information that a product disclosure statement under New Zealand law is required to contain.
Nominees and custodians
Nominees and custodians may not submit an Entitlement and Acceptance Form on behalf of any Shareholder resident outside Australia and New Zealand without the prior consent of the Company, taking into account relevant securities law restrictions. Return of a duly completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation that there has been no breach of those regulations.

4. RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES ATTACHING TO SECURITIES
4.1 Rights and liabilities attaching to Shares
The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares being offered pursuant to this Prospectus. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice.
Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.
(a) General meetings
Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.
Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution of the Company.
(b)
Voting rights
Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, at general meetings of shareholders or classes of shareholders:
-
(i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;
-
(ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and
-
(iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for each Share held, but in respect of partly paid shares shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such Shares registered in the Shareholder’s name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).
(c)
Dividend rights
Subject to the rights of any preference Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the Shareholders entitled to the dividend which shall be payable on all Shares according to the proportion that the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Shares.
The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders any interim dividends as they may determine. No dividend shall carry interest as
21
5354-05/3082357/11
against the Company. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of the Company any amounts that they may determine as reserves, to be applied at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the profits of the Company may be properly applied.
Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company may, by resolution of the Directors, implement a dividend reinvestment plan on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit and which provides for any dividend which the Directors may declare from time to time payable on Shares which are participating Shares in the dividend reinvestment plan, less any amount which the Company shall either pursuant to the Constitution or any law be entitled or obliged to retain, be applied by the Company to the payment of the subscription price of Shares.
(d) Winding-up
If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.
The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.
(e)
Shareholder liability
As the Shares issued will be fully paid shares, they will not be subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.
(f) Transfer of shares
Generally, shares in the Company are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.
(g) Future increase in capital
The issue of any new Shares is under the control of the Directors of the Company. Subject to restrictions on the issue or grant of securities contained in the ASX Listing Rules, the Constitution and the Corporations Act (and without affecting any special right previously conferred on the holder of an existing share or class of shares), the Directors may issue Shares as they shall, in their absolute discretion, determine.
(h) Variation of rights
Under section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to Shares.
22
5354-05/3082357/11
If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.
(i) Alteration of constitution
In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. In addition, at least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.
4.2 Terms of New Options
(a) Entitlement
Each Option entitles the holder to subscribe for one Share upon exercise of the New Option.
(b) Exercise Price
Subject to paragraph (i), the amount payable upon exercise of each New Option will be $0.08 ( Exercise Price )
(c) Expiry Date
Each Option will expire at 5:00 pm (AEST) on or before two years from the date of issue ( Expiry Date ). A New Option not exercised before the Expiry Date will automatically lapse on the Expiry Date.
(d) Exercise Period
The New Options are exercisable at any time on or prior to the Expiry Date ( Exercise Period ).
(e) Notice of Exercise
The New Options may be exercised during the Exercise Period by notice in writing to the Company in the manner specified on the New Option certificate ( Notice of Exercise ) and payment of the Exercise Price for each New Option being exercised in Australian currency by electronic funds transfer or other means of payment acceptable to the Company.
(f) Exercise Date
A Notice of Exercise is only effective on and from the later of the date of receipt of the Notice of Exercise and the date of receipt of the payment of the Exercise Price for each New Option being exercised in cleared funds ( Exercise Date ).
(g) Timing of issue of Shares on exercise
Within 5 Business Days after the Exercise Date, the Company will:
(i) issue the number of Shares required under these terms and conditions in respect of the number of New Options specified in
23
5354-05/3082357/11
the Notice of Exercise and for which cleared funds have been received by the Company;
-
(ii) if required, give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, or, if the Company is unable to issue such a notice, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors; and
-
(iii) if admitted to the official list of ASX at the time, apply for official quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the New Options.
If a notice delivered under (g)(ii) for any reason is not effective to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors, the Company must, no later than 20 Business Days after becoming aware of such notice being ineffective, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors.
(h) Shares issued on exercise
Shares issued on exercise of the New Options rank equally with the then issued shares of the Company.
(i)
Reconstruction of capital
If at any time the issued capital of the Company is reconstructed, all rights of an Optionholder are to be changed in a manner consistent with the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules at the time of the reconstruction.
(j)
Participation in new issues
There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the New Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the New Options without exercising the New Options.
(k)
Change in exercise price
An New Option does not confer the right to a change in Exercise Price or a change in the number of underlying securities over which the New Option can be exercised.
(l)
Transferability
The New Options are transferable subject to any restriction or escrow arrangements imposed by ASX or under applicable Australian securities laws.

5. RISK FACTORS
5.1 Introduction
The Securities offered under this Prospectus should be considered as highly speculative and an investment in the Company is not risk free.
The Directors strongly recommend that prospective investors consider the risk factors set out in this Section 5, together with all other information contained in this Prospectus.
The future performance of the Company and the value of the Securities may be influenced by a range of factors, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The key risks associated with the Company’s business, the industry in which it operates and general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities and financial markets generally are described below.
The risks factors set out in this Section 5, or other risk factors not specifically referred to, may have a materially adverse impact on the performance of the Company and the value of the Securities. This Section 5 is not intended to provide an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.
Before determining whether to invest in the Company you should ensure that you have a sufficient understanding of the risks described in this Section 5 and all of the other information set out in this Prospectus and consider whether an investment in the Company is suitable for you, taking into account your objectives, financial situation and needs.
If you do not understand any matters contained in this Prospectus or have any queries about whether to invest in the Company, you should consult your accountant, financial adviser, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser.
5.2 Company specific
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| Potential for dilution |
Upon implementation of the Offer, assuming all Entitlements are accepted, no other Shares are issued and no Options are exercised prior to the Record Date, the number of Shares in the Company will increase from 201,209,923 as at the Record Date to 268,279,897 Shares. This means that immediately after the Offer each Share will represent a lower proportion of the ownership of the Company. It is not possible to predict what the value of the Company, and a Share will be following the completion of the Offer being implemented and the Directors do not make any representation as to such matters. The last trading price of Shares on ASX prior to the Prospectus being lodged of $0.047 is not a reliable indicator as to the potential trading price of Shares after implementation of the Offer. In addition to potential control impacts set out in Section 1.6, Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Offer,their holdings are likelyto be |
25
5354-05/3082357/11
| Risk Category | Risk | |
|---|---|---|
| diluted by approximately 33.3% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Prospectus). No immediate dilution will occur as a result of the issue of New Options under this Prospectus. However subsequent exercise of any or all of the New Options will result in dilution. Assuming all New Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus are issued and exercised into Shares, Shareholders who do not participate in the Offer, are likely to be diluted by an aggregate of approximately 42.9% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus). |
||
| Additional requirements for capital |
The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company’s ability to generate income from its operations, the Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the Offer. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration programmes as the case may be. There is however no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company. |

| Going concern | The Company’s Annual Financial Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2022 (FY22) (Financial Report) includes a note on the financial condition of the Company. The Annual Report explains that: The statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year ended 30 June 2022 reflects a loss for the year of $4,997,031 and total cash outflows from operating activities of $6,014,695. The Directors believe that it is reasonably foreseeable that the Company will continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report after considering that the Company: (a) has $5,074,133 in cash and cash equivalents as at the balance date; (b) successfully raised $7,403,986 in funding during the year ended 30 June 2022 and currently has placement capacity to issue securities (under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A) without the requirement for additional shareholder approval, in the event future funding is required; (c) has the ability to scale back a significant portion of its expenditure if required; and (d) continues to extend its customer base and has other potential customer engagements in the pipeline. Consequently, the Directors have concluded there are reasonablegrounds to believe that the Groupwill |

| continue to be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable for a period of no less than 12 months from the date of signing this financial report and that the preparation of the 30 June 2022 Financial Report on a going concern basis is appropriate. |
||
| Competition | The business of providing enterprise software for the financial services industry in order to solve challenges for international wire transfers is highly competitive and includes companies with significantly greater financial, technical, human, research and development and marketing resources than the Company. There is also currently significant interest in adopting blockchain technology for this purpose, including among banks, financial intermediaries, financial technology start-ups and others. The Company’s competitors may discover and develop products in advance of the Company and/or products that are more effective than those developed by the Company. As a consequence, the Company’s current and future technologies and products may become obsolete or uncompetitive resulting in adverse effects on revenue, margins and profitability. |
|
| Failure to attract new customers |
The Company may fail to attract new customers for a number of reasons, such as the failure to meet customer expectations or requirements, poor customer service, pricing or competition. The Company’s ability to retain and renew existing contracts and win new contracts may also be impacted by broader external factors, including a slowdown in economic activity, changes to law or changes to regulation. If the Company fails to retain its existing customers, attracts further business from those existing customers and attracts new customers, the Company’s future operating and financial performance may be adversely affected and its reputation may be damaged. |
|
| Product disruption | The rapid pace of innovation and development within the industry, together with the high number of competitors means that there are no guarantees the Company’s products will be effective or economic. There is a risk that any of the Company’s competitors’ products, services or offerings may render the Company’s products, services or offerings obsolete or uncompetitive. In particular, the enterprise software market and financial services industry has been rapidly evolving, with both new entrants and established participants operating in specific areas of expertise. |
|
| Business strategy risk |
The Company’s future growth and financial performance is dependent on the Company’s ability to successfully execute its business strategy. This will be impacted by a number of factors, including the Company’s ability to expand through new channels and develop within Australian and international financial services markets for its current commercialisedproducts and services;ability |
27
5354-05/3082357/11
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| to successfully commercialise its current products and services and being able to provide these products and services; innovate and successfully commercialise new products that are appealing to customers; and comply with regulatory requirements (reflecting the sensitive regulatory nature or highly regulated environment in which the Company’s customers operate their business). |
|
| Inability to retain key staff |
The Company currently employs a number of key management personnel and the Company’s future depends on retaining appropriately qualified and experienced personnel. The loss of any of these employee’s services could materially and adversely affect the Company and may impede the achievement of its product development and commercialisation objectives. Furthermore, the successful development of the Company will require the services of additional appropriately qualified and experienced staff. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract appropriately qualified and experienced additional staff and this may adversely affect the Company’s prospects of success. |
5.3 Risks associated with the Company’s intellectual property and trade secrets
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| Dependence on technology rights and intellectual property |
Obtaining and protecting intellectual property rights over all the technologies and products connected with the Company’s products, services or offerings will be essential to commercialisation and realising its growth potential. The prospects of the Company’s products, services and offerings generating a profit and increasing in value depend significantly on its ability to obtain interests in all relevant intellectual property, maintain trade secret protection and operating without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties. In this regard, the Company and its Directors offer no assurance that any intellectual property which it develops or acquires will afford the Company or the holder commercially significant protection of its products or technologies, or that any of the projects that may arise from technologies will have commercial applications the Company expects. However, no assurance can be given that any measures taken to protect its interests in intellectual property will be sufficient. There is a risk that as yet unknown third parties may assert intellectual property claims in relation to blockchain, including any of the technologies or services associated with the Company’s blockchain based products, services or offerings. Irrespective of the merit of any rights or claims asserted by third parties, such claims may adversely affect the Company. There is also a risk that the Company’s investment may be indirectly adversely affected if a third partyclaim or asserted right reduces confidence in the |
28
5354-05/3082357/11
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| longer-run viability of the blockchain industry. | |
| Patent risk | The Company’s patent application has been granted. However, there is also no guarantee that the Company’s patent will provide adequate protection for the intellectual property, or that third parties will not infringe or misappropriate its patents or any other rights. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will not have to pursue litigation against other parties to assert its rights. |
| Infringement of third party intellectual property rights |
If a third party accuses the Company of infringing its intellectual property rights or if a third party commences litigation against the Company for the infringement of patent or other intellectual property rights, the Company may incur significant costs in defending such action, whether or not it ultimately prevails. Costs that the Company incurs in defending third party infringement actions would also include diversion of management’s and technical personnel’s time. In addition, parties making claims against the Company may be able to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief that could prevent the Company from further developing discoveries or commercialising its products and services. In the event of a successful claim of infringement against the Company, it may be required to pay damages and obtain one (1) or more licences from the prevailing third party. If it is not able to obtain these licences at a reasonable cost, if at all, it could encounter delays in product and service delivery and loss of substantial resources while it attempts to develop alternative products and services. Defence of any lawsuit or failure to obtain any of these licences could prevent the Company from commercialising available products and services and could cause it to incur substantial expenditure. |
| Trade secret risks | The Company relies on its trade secrets, which include information relating to the development of its technology and integration with its customers. The protective measures that the Company employs may not provide adequate protection for its trade secrets. This could erode the Company’s competitive advantage and materially harm its business. The Company cannot be certain that others will not independently develop the same or similar technologies on their own or gain access to trade secrets or disclose such technology, or that the Company will be able to meaningfully protect its trade secrets and unpatented know-how and keep them secret. |

5.4 General risks
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| Market conditions | Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as: (a) general economic outlook; (b) introduction of tax reform or other new legislation; (c) interest rates and inflation rates; (d) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors; (e) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and (f) terrorism or other hostilities. The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and technology stocks in particular. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company. In addition, the extent of the effects of COVID-19 is at this stage uncertain and continuing to evolve. The COVID-19 pandemic is having, and is expected to continue to have, a significant influence on the volatility of equity markets generally and may continue to impact and influence the value of the Company’s quoted securities. |
| Force Majeure Events |
Events may occur within or outside Australia that could impact upon the global and Australian economies, the operations of the Company and the price of the Shares. Such events include but are not limited to acts of terrorism, an outbreak of international hostilities, fires, floods, earthquakes, labour strikes, civil wars, natural disasters, outbreaks of disease or other natural or man- made events or occurrences that can have an adverse effect on the demand for the Company’s services and its ability to conduct business. The Company will have only a limited ability to insure against some of these risks. |
| Litigation risks | The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks including intellectual property claims, contractual disputes, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, the Company may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Company’s operations, financial performance and financial position. The Company is not currently engaged in any litigation. |
| Dividends | Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by the Company will be at the discretion of the Directors and will depend on the financial condition of the |
30
5354-05/3082357/11
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| Company, future capital requirements and general business and other factors considered relevant by the Directors. No assurance in relation to the payment of dividends or franking credits attaching to dividends can be given by the Company. |
|
| Taxation | The acquisition and disposal of Shares will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All prospective investors in the Company are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring Shares from a taxation viewpoint and generally. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisors accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of subscribing for Securities under this Prospectus. |
| Government | Changes in government, monetary policies, taxation and other laws can have a significant influence on the outlook for companies and investor returns. |
| Climate Risk | There are a number of climate-related factors that may affect the operations and proposed activities of the Company. The climate change risks particularly attributable to the Company include: (a) the emergence of new or expanded regulations associated with the transitioning to a lower-carbon economy and market changes related to climate change mitigation. The Company may be impacted by changes to local or international compliance regulations related to climate change mitigation efforts, or by specific taxation or penalties for carbon emissions or environmental damage. These examples sit amongst an array of possible restraints on industry that may further impact the Company and its profitability. While the Company will endeavour to manage these risks and limit any consequential impacts, there can be no guarantee that the Company will not be impacted by these occurrences; and (b) climate change may cause certain physical and environmental risks that cannot be predicted by the Company, including events such as increased severity of weather patterns and incidence of extreme weather events and longer-term physical risks such as shifting climate patterns. All these risks associated with climate change may significantly change the industry in which the Company operates. |
31
5354-05/3082357/11
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| Reliance on Key Personnel |
The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its senior management and its key personnel. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these employees cease their employment. |
| COVID-19 Risk | The outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is impacting global economic markets. The nature and extent of the effect of the outbreak on the performance of the Company remains unknown. The Company’s Share price may be adversely affected in the short to medium term by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Further, any governmental or industry measures taken in response to COVID-19 may adversely impact the Company’s operations and are likely to be beyond the control of the Company. The COVID-19 pandemic may also give rise to issues, delays or restrictions in product processing and packaging and the Company's ability to deliver products to customers, which may result in cost increases or adverse impacts on sales. In addition, the effects of COVID-19 on the Company's Share price and global financial markets generally may also affect the Company's ability to raise equity or debt or require the Company to issue capital at a discount, which may in turn cause dilution to Shareholders or the COVID-19 pandemic may also give rise to issues, delays or restrictions in relation to land access and the Company's ability to freely move people and equipment to and from exploration projects may cause delays or cost increases. The effects of COVID -19 on the Company's Share price and global financial markets generally may also affect the Company's ability to raise equity or debt or require the Company to issue capital at a discount, which may in turn cause dilution to Shareholders. The executive management team are monitoring the situation closely and have considered the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business and financial performance. However, the situation is continually evolving, and the consequences are therefore inevitably uncertain. In compliance with its continuous disclosure obligations, the Company will continue to update the market in regard to the impact of COVID-19 on its revenue channels and any adverse impact on the Company. If any of these impacts appear material prior to close of the Offer, the Company will notify investors under a supplementary prospectus. |
| General Economic Conditions or National Issues |
General economic conditions, laws relating to taxation, new legislation, trade barriers, movements in interest and inflation rates, currency exchange controls and rates, national and international political circumstances (includingoutbreaks in international hostilities,wars, |

|---|---|
| terrorist acts, sabotage, subversive activities, security operations, labour unrest, civil disorder, and states of emergency), natural disasters (including fires, earthquakes and floods), and quarantine restrictions, epidemics and pandemics, may have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial performance, including the Company’s exploration, development and production activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities. General economic conditions may also affect the value of the Company and its market valuation regardless of its actual performance. Specifically, it should be noted that the current evolving conflict between Ukraine and Russia is impacting global macroeconomics and markets generally. The nature and extent of the effect of this conflict on the performance of the Company and the value of the Company’s Shares remains unknown. The Company’s Share price may be adversely affected in the short to medium term by the economic uncertainty caused by the conflict between Ukraine and Russia and overall impacts on global macroeconomics. Given the situation is continually evolving, the outcomes and consequences are inevitably uncertain. |
