| 25% subscribed | 127,040,681 | 24.63% |
| 0% subscribed | 127,040,681 | 26.88% |
Notes:
In this table:
-
“100% subscription” assumes that Mr Beavis and his associates takes up 100% of their Entitlement (42,346,894 Shares) and Eligible Shareholders other than Mr Beavis and his associates take up 100% of their Entitlement (172,772,114 Shares).
-
“75% subscription” assumes that Mr Beavis and his associates takes up 100% of their Entitlement (42,346,894 Shares) and Eligible Shareholders other than Mr Beavis and his associates take up 75% of their Entitlement (129,579,085 Shares).
-
“50% subscription” assumes that Mr Beavis and his associates takes up 100% of their Entitlement (42,346,894 Shares) and Eligible Shareholders other than Mr Beavis and his associates take up 50% of their Entitlement (86,386,057 Shares).
-
“25% subscription” assumes that Mr Beavis and his associates takes up 100% of their Entitlement (42,346,894 Shares) and Eligible Shareholders other than Mr Beavis and his associates take up 25% of their Entitlement (43,193,028 Shares).
-
“0% subscription” assumes that Mr Beavis and his associates takes up 100% of their Entitlement (42,346,894 Shares) and Eligible Shareholders other than Mr Beavis and his associates take up 0% of their Entitlement (0 Shares).
The potential effect that the issue of the Shares under the Offer will have on the control of the Company is as follows:
11
-
(a) if all eligible shareholders take up their entitlements under the Offer, the issue of Shares under the Offer will have no effect on the control of the Company and all shareholders will hold the same percentage interest in the Company, subject only to changes resulting from ineligible shareholders being unable to participate in the Offer;
-
(b) in the more likely event that there is a Shortfall, Eligible Shareholders who do not subscribe for their full Entitlement of Shares under the Offer and ineligible shareholders unable to participate in the Offer will be diluted relative to those Shareholders who subscribe for some or all of their Entitlement as shown by the table in Section 3.7; and
-
(c) in respect of any Shortfall, Eligible Shareholders will be entitled to top-up their shareholding, by subscribing for additional Shares to be issued from the Shortfall pool ( Shortfall Offer ). However, the Company will only issue such Shares pursuant to an application received where the Directors are satisfied, in their discretion, that the issue of the Shares will not increase the applicant’s voting power above 19.99%. Having regard to the number of Shares to be issued under the Offer, even if a substantial Shortfall eventuated, a participant in the Shortfall Offer would not be in a position to exercise any substantive control in the Company.
3.11 Market Price of Shares

The Company is a participant 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. Because the sub-registers are electronic, ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation.
Electronic registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of New Shares allotted to them under this Offer Document. 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.
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.
3.16 Risk Factors
An investment in New Shares should be regarded as speculative. In addition to the general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities, there are specific risks associated with an investment in the Company which are non-exhaustive. Please refer to Section 5 of this Offer Document for further details.
3.17 Taxation implications
The Directors do not consider it appropriate to give Shareholders advice regarding the taxation consequences of subscribing for New Shares under this Offer Document. The Company, its advisers and its officers do not accept any responsibility or liability for any such taxation consequences to Shareholders.
Shareholders should consult their professional tax adviser in connection with subscribing for New Shares under this Offer Document.
13
3.18 Continuous disclosure obligations
The Company is a “disclosing entity” (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of the Corporations Act and its Shares are enhanced disclosure securities quoted on ASX and, as such, the Company is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules.
Specifically, the Company is required to notify ASX of information about specific events and matters as they arise for the purposes of the ASX making that information available to the securities markets conducted by the ASX. In particular, the Company has an obligation under the ASX Listing Rules (subject to certain exceptions) to notify the ASX immediately of any information of which it is or becomes aware which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price of value of its securities.
This Offer Document 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 information that would be included in a disclosure document or which investors ought to have regard to in deciding whether to subscribe for Shares under the Offer. 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.
All announcements made by the Company are available from its website https://identitii.com/ or the ASX www.asx.com.au.
Additionally, the Company is also required to prepare and lodge with ASIC yearly and half-yearly financial statements accompanied by a directors’ statement and report, and an audit report or review. These reports are released to ASX and published on the Company’s and the ASX websites.
This Offer Document (including the Entitlement & Acceptance Form) and the contracts that arise from acceptance of the Applications are governed by the laws applicable in New South Wales and each Applicant submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales.

5. RISK FACTORS
5.1 Introduction
The Shares offered under this Offer Document should be considered speculative because of the nature of the Company’s business.
There are numerous risk factors involved with the Company’s business. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are outside the control of the Company and cannot be mitigated. Accordingly, an investment in the Company carries no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital or price at which securities will trade.
The following is a summary of the more material matters to be considered. However, this summary is not exhaustive and potential investors should examine the contents of this Offer Document in its entirety and consult their professional advisors before deciding whether to apply for the New Shares.
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 430,238,014 as at the Record Date to 645,357,021 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 Offer Document being lodged of $0.01 is not a reliable indicator as to the potential trading price of Shares after implementation of the Offer. |
| 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 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 half-year ended 31 December 2023 (Financial Report) includes a note on the financial condition of the Company. The Annual Report explains that: |
17
Risk Category Risk The statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the half-year ended 31 December 2023 reflects a loss for the half-year of $ 1,488,108 and total cash outflows from operating activities of $1,516,771. 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) The Group successfully raised $2,129,808 (net of costs) in funding via an equity raise during the period.
-
b) The Group has $1,941,526 in cash and cash equivalents as at 31 December 2023.
-
c) The Group sold 48% of its investment in its Associate resulting in cash inflows of $999,985. The Group potentially has the ability to further sell down this investment.
-
d) The Group potentially has the ability to source additional share capital or alternative funding sources pursuant to the Corporations Act 2001.
-
e) On 5 September 2023, the Group announced that its Rights Issue closed on 30 August 2023, and raised $1,338,160 before costs, with a shortfall balance of $789,735. The Rights Issue was a pro-rata nonrenounceable entitlement issue to eligible shareholders of one (1) New Share for every one (1) Existing Share held by eligible shareholders on the Record Date, at an issue price of $0.01 per New Share. 133,816,609 New Shares were issued and allotted on 5 September 2023.
-
f) On 21 September 2023, the Company announced that it had successfully completed the Shortfall Offer, raising a further $789,735 via the issue of shortfall shares at the issue price of $0.01 per Share, bringing the total capital raised under the Rights Issue to $2,127,895 before costs.
-
g) On 28 September 2023, the Company announced $1.0M in annualised cost savings, to further extend its cash runway.
-
h) The Group has the ability to further scale back a significant portion of its expenditure if required.
Consequently, 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 31 December 2023 Financial Report on a going concern basis is appropriate. If the sufficient capital is not raised under the Offer, the Company may need to consider its financial position.
In the event that the Offer is not completed successfully there is uncertainty as to whether the Company can continue as a going concern which is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s activities.
18
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| 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 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). |
19
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Control risk | Mr Cameron Beavis and his associated entities is currently the largest Shareholder of the Company and has a relevant interest in approximately 19.69% of the Shares in the Company. Assuming Mr Beavis takes up his full Entitlement and no other Shareholders accept their Entitlement, Mr Beavis’ voting power in the Company could be as high as 26.88%. Mr Beavis’ significant interest in the capital of the Company means that he is in a position to potentially influence the financial decisions of the Company and his interests may not align with those of all other Shareholders. Upon completion of the Offer, there is potential for Mr Beavis to hold a relevant interest in more than 25% of the Company which means that he has the potential to prevent a special resolution from being passed by the Company (such resolution requiring at least 75% of the votes cast by members entitled to vote on the resolution). Special resolutions are required in relation to the approval of certain Company matters including potentially seeking the delisting of the Company, amending the Constitution, approving the voluntary winding up of the Company and, if at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes of Shares, approving the variation of the rights attached to any such class. |
- 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 Companyor |
20
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| 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 party claim or asserted right reduces confidence in the longer-run viability of the blockchain industry. |
|
| Patent risk | The Company’s patent applications in the United States and Singapore have been granted. However, there is 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. The Company has filed a claim in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against JP Morgan Chase for patent infringement of U.S. Patent No. 10,984,413. The litigation is ongoing. |
| 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. |
21
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| 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 Key investment risks
Potential investors should be aware that subscribing for Shares in the Company involves a number of risks. Prospective investors should read this Offer Document in its entirety before deciding whether to apply for Shares under this Offer Document.
An investment in the Company should be considered highly speculative. Investors should consider consulting their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Offer Document.
5.5 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 Companyand theprice of the Shares. Such |
22
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| 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, patent 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 has filed a claim in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against JP Morgan Chase for patent infringement of U.S. Patent No. 10,984,413. The litigation is ongoing. |
| 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 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 Offer Document. |
| 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 |
23
| Risk Category | Risk |
|---|---|
| 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. |
|
| 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. |
| 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 (including outbreaks 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 conflicts between Ukraine and Russia and in the Middle East is impacting global macroeconomics and markets generally. The nature and extent of the effect of these conflicts 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 conflicts between Ukraine and Russia and in the Middle East and overall impacts on global macroeconomics. Given the situation is continually evolving, the outcomes and consequences are inevitably uncertain. |
