7. Background
On 23 December 2014, the Company’s Shares were reinstated to trading on the ASX following the Company’s acquisition of all of the issued capital of Lunalite International Pty Ltd which owns the XTD System.
5
XTD has a seven-year contract with Metro Trains Melbourne Pty Ltd ( MTM ) to operate 32 of its XTD digital screens across its three underground rail stations. The 32 XTD systems were installed on time and within budget and have been fully operational from 15 October 2014.
In May 2015 XTD completed the installation of 13 XTD systems into the Brisbane City rail. The Company has an exclusive seven-year contract with Queensland Rail to operate the cross-track digital media and sound systems that have been installed in a multiple of Brisbane’s busiest metro stations, operating in both below ground and open air locations.
In addition to acquiring Lunalite and the XTD System, the Company also acquired a subsidiary of Lunalite, PROtechT, which is currently developing a mobile phone application which leverages the XTD System server platform to provide a personalised rail security system known as Custodio (previously referred to as PROtechT) and direct advertising capability. It is intended that PROtechT will be downloaded for free by consenting commuters and promoted by the rail operator and/or relevant state authority. Once downloaded, commuters will then have the capability to activate a panic button if they feel threatened which will communicate with Lunalite’s servers at a monitoring station and alert the rail stations contracted security firm or the police. A continued tracking link to Lunalite’s server then tracks the GPS location of the phone until it is disengaged via a PIN. In addition, to assist the security service provider, picture and video can also be captured by the commuter’s phone.
To download the free PROtechT App, it is intended that commuters will be required to provide personal details and agree to receive Rich Push Text Messages. Lunalite’s XTD System servers can then identify commuters via their smart mobile devices on a station and send Rich Push Text Messages to demographic, budget and time tailored audience. These messages can be ‘takeaway messages’ and/or ‘call to action’ messages for an advertisement running on the XTD screens. It is Lunalite’s intention to carefully manage the number of promotions to maintain impact and avoid consumer lethargy.
It was noted in the Company’s re-compliance prospectus dated 4 November 2014 that Lunalite was currently developing the Custodio technology. However, no funds raised from the recompliance capital raising were specifically allocated to this technology.

Figure 1: PROtechT ownership structure
The Company now wishes to accelerate the development of the Custodio technology. However, it does not want to divert funds from the roll out of the XTD System business to do so. Accordingly, it is proposed to raise up to $1,500,000 through the direct issue of shares at $1.00 per share in PROtechT ( PROtechT Capital Raising ) which will result in dilution of the Company’s interest in PROtechT by up to 48%. The Company initially will retain a controlling interest of at least 52% of PROtechT.
Following completion of the PROtechT Capital Raising, PROtechT may seek to raise further capital directly including seeking its own listing which would result in further dilution of the
6
Company’s interest in PROtechT. No decision has been made on any further PROtechT capital raisings or the listing of PROtechT.
The capital structure of PROtechT following the PROtechT Capital Raising is set out below.
| Shares currently held by XTD PROtechT Capital Raising |
No. of Shares % Interest 1,625,000 52% 1,500,000 48% |
|---|---|
| 3,125,000 100% |
The PROtechT Capital Raising attributes a value of $1.625 million (based on the capital raising price of $1.00 per share in PROtechT) to the Company’s interest in PROtechT post the PROtechT Capital Raising. Currently, Historically, PROtechT has been funded by a combination of expenses paid directly by the Company plus an inter-entity loan of $150,000 for the development of the Custodio App to date.
The Company considers that the PROtechT Capital Raising is in the best interests of the Company because it will provide additional capital to PROtechT which is necessary to commercialise the Custodio App which the Company does not currently have the capacity to fund. By divesting a portion of PROtechT, the Company’s earnings from the sale of advertising are not affected as PROtechT does not currently generate revenue nor does it have any current commercial agreements for the development of the Custodio App. The PROtechT Capital Raising will create additional value to XTD’s shareholders and also increase the ability of PROtechT to raise new capital in the future with the effect that PROtechT will not be reliant on XTD for its funding.
Following completion of the PROtechT Capital Raising the Company will continue its focus on its existing XTD Systems business.
8. Resolution 1 – Approval of disposal of PROtechT
8.1 General
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 11.4 for PROtechT to initially undertake the PROtechT Capital Raising which may result in the Company’s holding in PROtechT being diluted by up to 48% and to then in the future undertake further capital raisings or disposal of PROtechT or its assets to fund PROtechT and achieve a separate listing in the future.
Listing Rule 11.4 provides that an entity must not dispose of a major asset if, at the time of the disposal, it is aware that the person acquiring the asset intends to issue or offer securities with a view to becoming listed. This rule does not apply if:
-
(a) the securities (other than those to be retained by the entity or child entity) are offered pro rata to holders of ordinary securities in the listed entity or in another way that, in ASX’s opinion, is fair in all circumstances; or
-
(b) holders of ordinary securities in the listed entity approve of the disposal without the offer referred to in paragraph (a) above being made.
Listing Rule 11.4 applies to any possible future listing of PROtechT on the ASX. PROtechT may undertake a listing in the future (although the terms of any such IPO have not yet been determined). Such a listing may or may not include participation of the Company’s shareholders. Accordingly the Company is seeking approval of the disposal of PROtechT (including the PROtechT Capital Raising) under Listing Rule 11.4 to allow the Company to proceed with raising
7
capital directly in PROtechT (including the PROtechT Capital Raising) and to eventually undertake a possible listing of PROtechT in which Company Shareholders are not entitled to participate pro rata to their shareholding in the Company in the listing capital raising of PROtechT.
Resolution 1 is an ordinary Resolution.
9. Resolutions 2 to 4 – Authority for Stuart Richardson, John Toll and Mark Niutta to participate in the PROtechT Capital Raising
9.1 General
It is proposed that Directors, Stuart Richardson, John Toll, Mark Niutta and/or their nominees, participate in the PROtechT Capital Raising. Further details of the PROtechT Capital Raising are set out in Sections 7 and 6. Messrs Richardson, Toll and Niutta wish to obtain Shareholder approval to subscribe for up to 100,000, 40,000 and 10,000 PROtechT Shares respectively ( Director PROtechT Capital Raising Shares ).
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a company must not (subject to specified exceptions) issue or agree to issue equity securities to a related party without the approval of shareholders.
While Messrs Richardson, Toll and Niutta are each a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director, the PROtechT Capital Raising is the issue of PROtechT Shares rather than Shares in the Company and accordingly, Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 is not required for the issue of the Director PROtechT Capital Raising Shares.
However, given that PROtechT is currently a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, it is effectively the Company that is determining that PROtechT undertake the PROtechT Capital Raising and accordingly the Company has determined for good corporate governance to seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the Director PROtechT Capital Raising Shares to the [Directors].
Resolutions 2 to 4 are ordinary resolutions and are subject to Resolution 1 being passed.
9.2 Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13
The following information is provided for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.13:
-
(a) The maximum number of PROtechT Shares to be issued to the Directors (and/or their nominees) is:
-
(i) Stuart Richardson – up to 100,000 PROtechT Shares;
-
(ii) John Toll – up to 40,000 PROtechT Shares; and
-
(iii) Mark Niutta – up to 10,000 PROtechT Shares.
-
(b) PROtechT will issue the PROtechT Shares no later than one month following the date of the Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by an ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that the Director PROtechT Capital Raising Shares will be issued on the same date.
-
(c) Each of Messrs Richardson, Toll and Niutta is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
8
-
(d) The Director PROtechT Capital Raising Shares will each be issued at an issue price of $1.00.
-
(e) The Director PROtechT Capital Raising Shares will comprise fully paid ordinary shares of PROtechT ranking equally with all other fully paid ordinary shares of PROtechT.
-
(f) The funds raised from the issue of the Director PROtechT Capital Raising Shares will be aggregated with and used for the same purpose as the funds raised from the PROtechT Capital Raising. See Section 7 for further details.
-
(g) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
