LINIUS TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING - 30 NOVEMBER 2020

Welcome to the Linius Technologies Annual General Meeting for 2020. My name is Gerard Bongiorno, and I am the Executive Chairman of Linius Technologies Limited. With me here on this virtual Webinar are my fellow directors Steve McGovern, our CEO and director Chris Richardson, as well as our CFO and company secretary Joe Rinarelli and our Auditor from KPMG Tony Batsakis.

For the order of proceedings today I would like to go through the formal procedural matters and then hand to Chris to take us through some operational highlights.

Formal meeting proceedings.

Thank you.

Before I hand over to Chris for his CEO presentation I want to provide some initial comments on the last year.

Earlier this calendar year we felt we had commercially validated this business with strong wins in the sports and news sectors. The arrival of Covid 19 meant that many of our contracted clients were stalled, and clients that we were in process of signing, either directly with Linius or via resellers, postponed making commitments.

As a result we moved quickly to reduce our expenditure and to raise capital. As restrictions came in, only Racing.com was able to keep operating and signed clients such as NBL and Sportshero, which we believe will drive significant revenues, are still yet to commence live sports.

Covid 19 set us back over 6 months in terms of generating new revenues. That said I am very pleased to say that the operating team adapted quickly and have delivered new clients, with new recurring revenues in this quarter and launched commercially validated products into large markets. We have now developed productised solutions in Video conferencing, Sport and News categories and these products will be key to accelerating growth in each target sectors.

In April 2020 we signed a new partner in Livetiles (ASX: LVT) and deployed our AI meeting Solution. As announced on the 25[th] November we have now productised this capability and launched the Whizzard platform into the buoyant video conferencing marketplace. We have high hopes for this product that Chris will walk through in his presentation and I am pleased to say we have initial customers already signing on for this solution.

In May 2020 we signed Grafa, a finance news application, that will launch any day now. This is a productised news solution for Linius with a large addressable market.

In October, Racing.com rolled out many new features with virtual video. Racing.com are a great example of a media company embracing the power of virtual video and they have plans to roll out further features next year.

Also, in October we raised AU$5million, which at current expenditure rates will fund the business through to November 2021. Our new revenues will obviously extend this timeframe.

In mid-December, the NBL will launch our personalised sports channel solution which will be a fantastic demonstration of the power of virtual video. This solution is also productised and will be made readily available to other sports leagues around the world.

Subject to Covid restrictions easing, we expect, February 21 will see Sportshero launch in Indonesian to a prospective audience of 80 million soccer fans.

With these new deals coming online and recurring revenues received in this quarter we believe we are well placed to accelerate growth.

Our plan from here is very simple. We will sell more of these proven products to similar clients.

We believe, with these quality deployments in market, repeat sales will become much easier and revenue growth will further accelerate.

We are also focussed on strengthening the board to support our expected growth trajectory.

==> picture [130 x 38] intentionally omitted <==

On behalf of your Directors I would like to thank all shareholders for supporting us through this ongoing commercialisation phase. I look forward to seeing success from our commercialisation efforts and appreciate your continued to support as we pursue our business plans.

Thank you

I will now hand over to Chris Richardson.
