During the period from 1 January to 31 December 2020, the Group realigned its efforts to focus on the strategy of selling its software solutions in its key markets, completing important product development stages and building new customer pipeline in the green energy industry (“ Refined Strategy ”).
The Refined Strategy has gained early traction with customers, resulting in the execution of a consortium agreement with leading Dutch Enterprises and Institutions to develop an ‘Internet of Energy’ solution, and the execution of memorandums of understanding to explore potential opportunities to leverage the Tymlez Technology.
The Company’s plan is to continue to drive its Refined Strategy including ongoing product research and development, expanding sales capability and pipeline development, commercialising and marketing the Tymlez Platform to deliver enterprise grade software solutions to our key markets.

The issue price for the Shares offered under this Offer Document is a 61.5% discount to A$0.026, being the last closing price of the Company’s Shares on the ASX on 14[th] May 2021.
The Offer is scheduled to close at 5pm (AEST) on 15 June 2021. To participate in the Offer, you must have applied for New Shares so that your completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form and Application Monies, or BPAY® payment is received by this time.
Reflecting their commitment to the Company, I am pleased to confirm that the Directors and their associated entities, who hold Shares on the Record Date, intend to take up part or all of their Entitlement.

Subject to consultation with the Lead Manager, the Company currently intends to allocate any Shortfall Shares under the Shortfall Offer as follows:
-
(a) the Directors presently propose to allocate Shortfall Shares to both Eligible Investors and Eligible Shareholders in a manner considered appropriate to applicants having regard to the best interests of the Company, and the Company’s desire to maximise the amount of funds raised from the Shortfall Offer;
-
(b) in allocating Shortfall Shares, preference will not necessarily be conferred on Eligible Shareholders;
11
-
(c) the Directors will not allocate any Shortfall Shares to an applicant who is a Related Party of the Company in priority to, or to the exclusion of, another applicant who is not a Related Party of the Company;
-
(d) the Company will not allocate Shortfall Shares under the Shortfall Offer to the extent that an applicant’s voting power in the Company would, together with that applicant’s associates, exceed the takeover thresholds in the Corporations Act (i.e. acquiring a relevant interest in 20% or more of the issued Shares, or increasing an existing relevant interest in the issued Shares of more than 20%), subject to certain exceptions permitted by law; and
-
(e) the Directors will not otherwise exercise their discretion regarding the allocation of Shortfall Shares in a manner likely to exacerbate a potential unacceptable control effect, except to the extent they consider necessary (acting reasonably) to prevent the issue of Shares contrary to law or the ASX Listing Rules.
No Shortfall Shares will be issued, nor offered, to any applicant under the Shortfall Offer if, in the view of the Directors, to do so would increase that applicant’s relevant interest in the Company to above 20%, or otherwise result in a breach of the ASX Listing Rules, the Corporations Act or any other applicable law.
Additionally, any allocation or issuance of any Shortfall Shares to a Related Party of the Company will be subject to the Company obtaining any necessary Shareholder approval required under the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.
All decisions regarding the allocation of the Shortfall Shares will be made by the Directors (in consultation with the Lead Manager) and will be final and binding on all applicants under the Shortfall Offer. As such, there is no guarantee that any Shortfall Shares 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 Shares they applied for under the Shortfall Offer. If the Company scales back, any applications for Shortfall Shares under the Shortfall Offer, any Application Monies will be returned (without interest) as soon as practicable.

| Maximum number of New Shares offered pursuant to the Offer | 584,073,742 |
**Total Shares on issue after completion of the Offer ** |
876,110,613 |
Note :
- The number may vary due to rounding of Entitlements and may increase as a result of the rounding up of New Shares offered under the Offer.
6.4 Effect of Offer on control of the Company
The potential effect that the issue of the New Shares under the Offer will have on the control of the Company, and the consequences of that effect, will depend on a number of factors including the level of Eligible Shareholder participation in the Offer and which Eligible Shareholders participate.
No Shareholder will increase their relevant interest in the voting Shares in the Company to above 20% under the Offer.
20
The potential effect of the Offer on the control of the Company is as follows:
-
(a) if all Eligible Shareholders take up all of their Entitlements under the Offer, then the Offer will have no significant effect on the control of the Company; and
-
(b) if some Eligible Shareholders do not take up all of their Entitlements under the Offer, then the interests of those Eligible Shareholders will be diluted.
Examples of how the dilution may impact Shareholders who do not take up the Entitlement in full or in part are set out in the table below:
| Holdings | if | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Holding as at | % at |
Record | Entitlements | Offer not taken | ||||
| **Holder ** | Record date | Date | **under the Offer ** | up |
% post Offer | |||
| Shareholder | 1 | 12,000,000 | 4.11% | 24,000,000 | 12,000,000 | 1.37% | ||
| Shareholder | 2 | 4,000,000 | 1.37% | 8,000,000 | 4,000,000 | 0.46% | ||
| Shareholder | 3 | 1,000,000 | 0.34% | 2,000,000 | 1,000,000 | 0.11% |
Notes: The dilutionary effect shown in the table is the maximum percentage on the assumption that those Entitlements not accepted are subsequently placed. In the event all Entitlements are not accepted and some or all of the resulting Shortfall Shares are not subsequently placed, the dilutionary impact for each Shareholder not accepting their Entitlement would be a lesser percentage.
The substantial holders of the Company are listed below in section 6.5 of this Offer Document. As these holders are eligible to subscribe for the New Shares under the Offer, it may affect their overall percentage shareholding in the Company. The final percentage interests held by Shareholders of the Company is entirely dependent upon the extent to which the Shareholders participate in the Offer issued pursuant to the Offer.

Each Shareholder is entitled to receive notice of all general meetings of the Company and to receive all notices, accounts and other documents required to be sent to Shareholders under the Constitution, the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules.

Dividend rights
Subject to the Corporations Act, the Directors may from time to time declare such dividends as appear to the Directors to be justified by the profits of the Company.

(e) Winding up
If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, 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 the liquidator 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 security holders.
The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories
23
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.

Generally, Shares 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 or the ASX Listing Rules.

8. Risk factors
8.1 Introduction
An investment in the Company is not risk free and should be regarded as speculative.
There are specific risks which relate directly to the Company's activities. In addition, there are other general risks, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The risks identified in this section, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the financial performance of the Company and the market price of the Shares and the underlying Shares.
The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed and do not take into account the individual circumstances of Shareholders.
The Directors strongly recommend potential Investors to consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Offer Document and consult with their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares under this Offer Document.
The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.
8.2 Specific risks
(a) Commercialisation
While the Company has taken all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, there is a risk that the Company will not be able to successfully develop and/or commercialise the Tymlez Platform and other intellectual property assets of the Group (collectively, Tymlez Technology ).
(b)
Sufficiency of Funding
At the date of this Offer Document, the Company is not cash flow positive, meaning the Company is reliant on raising funds from investors in order to continue its operations. Although the Directors consider that the Company will, on completion of the Offer, have enough working capital to carry out its stated objectives, there can be no assurance that such objectives can be met without further funding. The Company has limited financial resources and may need to raise additional funds from time to time to finance the complete development and commercialisation of its products and services and meet its other longer term objectives. The Company may never achieve profitability and its ability to raise additional funds will be subject to, among other things, factors beyond the control of the Company and its Directors, including cyclical factors affecting the economy and the share markets generally. The Directors can give no assurance that future funds can be raised by the Company on favourable terms, if at all.
(c)
Business Strategy risk
The Company’s future growth and financial performance is dependent on its ability to successfully execute its business strategy. This will be impacted by a number of factors, including the Company’s ability to:
-
deliver, to the satisfaction of its customers, their required software solutions using the Tymlez Platform and/or any other Tymlez Technology;
-
retain existing customers, and attract new customers, in the green energy industry through additional marketing activities in existing markets;
-
successfully maintain and develop further marketing channels for its service offerings;
-
continue to innovate and successfully commercialise new products and/or services offerings, enhancements or functionalities that are appealing to customers; and
-
comply with regulatory requirements (if any) applicable to the Tymlez Business.
27
(d) Reliance on Tymlez Technology
The Company’s business model depends on the Company’s ability to continue to ensure that its customers are satisfied with the Tymlez Technology. There is a risk that the Company fails to maintain the Tymlez Technology adequately, or that updates may introduce errors and performance issues, causing customer satisfaction in the Tymlez Technology to fall. Customer satisfaction may also fall as a result of real or perceived reductions in functionality, product quality, reliability, cost-effectiveness and customer support for the Tymlez Technology, or a failure to accommodate and reflect changes and development in technology and in the commercial, compliance and regulatory environment. Any of these factors may result in reduced usage, loss of customers, damage to the Company’s reputation, an inability to attract new customers or potentially claims for compensation.
(e) The Company’s future revenue and growth also depends on its ability to develop enhancements and new features and functionalities for the Tymlez Technology so that it continues to meet customer needs, attract new customers and generate additional revenue from increased usage. There is a risk that the development and introduction of new features and functionalities does not result in a successful outcome due to competition or economic and market conditions. The failure to successfully develop new product features and functionalities may materially adversely impact the Company’s future operations and financial performance
(f) Failure to deal with growth
The Company’s business has the potential to grow rapidly. If that occurs and the Company fails to properly manage that growth, then that failure could harm its business. Any failure to meet customer demand properly could adversely affect the business, including demand for the Company’s products/services, revenue collection, customer satisfaction and public perception.
(g) Availability of IT staff in the market
The Company is reliant upon employees with specialist IT skills in order to develop and maintain its projects. Any shortage of availability of these skills in the IT employment market could impair the development of the Company’s products and business and the rate of such development. Such shortage could also cause wage inflation, which may impact on the Company’s profitability.
(h) Infringement of third party intellectual property rights
If a third party accuses the Group of infringing its intellectual property rights or if a third party commences litigation against the Group for the infringement of patents or other intellectual property rights, the Group may incur significant costs in defending such action, whether or not it ultimately prevails. Typically, patent litigation is expensive. Costs that the Group 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 Group may be able to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief that could prevent the Group from further developing discoveries or commercialising its products. In the event of a successful claim of infringement against the Group, it may be required to pay damages and obtain one or more licenses from the prevailing third party. If it is not able to obtain these licenses at a reasonable cost, if at all, it could encounter delays in product introductions and loss of substantial resources while it attempts to develop alternative products. Defence of any lawsuit or failure to obtain any of these licenses could prevent the Group from commercialising available products and could cause it to incur substantial expenditure.
(i) Risk of operating in foreign jurisdictions
The Group operates across multiple jurisdictions. In particular the Group’s main operating subsidiary, Tymlez Holding, is incorporated and domiciled in The Netherlands. Tymlez Holding will therefore be subject to the laws applicable to companies incorporated in The Netherlands and consequently the Company will be subject to the risks of conducting operations in a
28
foreign jurisdiction. This includes risks relating to difficulty in enforcing contracts in The Netherlands, changes to or uncertainty in the Dutch legal and regulatory regime, including in relation to taxation and foreign investment and practices of Dutch government and regulatory authorities. The Group will also be exposed to such multijurisdictional risks in any existing (e.g. USA) and new territories in which the Group maintains operations from time to time, as well as any other issues in foreign jurisdictions in which the Company may operate.
(j) Foreign sales
As at the date of this Prospectus, all of the Group’s sales are transacted in foreign currencies, namely in USA dollars (US$) and Euros (€). Notwithstanding that the Group intends to establish Australian operations following successfully completion of the Offer, it is envisaged that a majority of the Group’s sales will be international sales. Therefore the Group will be subject to a number of risks inherent in selling and operating abroad which could adversely affect the Group’s ability to increase or maintain foreign sales. These include, but are not limited to, risks regarding:
-
currency exchange rate fluctuations;
-
local and international economic and political conditions;
-
disruptions of capital and trading markets;
-
accounts receivable collection and longer payment cycles;
-
difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;
-
potential hostilities and changes in diplomatic and trade relationships;
-
restrictive governmental actions (such as restrictions on the transfer or repatriation of funds and trade protection measures, including export duties and quotas and customs duties and tariffs);
-
changes in legal or regulatory requirements;
-
the laws and policies of Australia and other countries affecting trade, foreign investment and loans, and import or export licensing requirements; and
-
tax laws.
Changes in circumstances or market conditions resulting from these risks may restrict the Company or its subsidiaries’ ability to operate in an affected region and/or adversely affect the profitability of the Company or its subsidiaries’ operations in that region.
(k) Unforeseen expenditure risk
Expenditure may need to be incurred that has not been taken into account. Although the Company is not aware of any such additional expenditure requirements. If such expenditure is subsequently incurred, this may adversely affect the expenditure proposals of the Company and its business.
(l)
Dilution risk
The capital structure of the Company will be impacted by the number of Securities issued pursuant to the Offer. Shareholders’ respective holding of Shares will also be diluted to the extent that the Company undertakes further capital raising activities and issues securities in the Company under such capital raisings.
Following completion of the Offer, the Company is anticipated to have 34,026,575 Existing Listed Options, 3,560,000 Existing Unlisted Options and 3,000,000 Lead Manager Options on issue which, if expected in accordance with the terms of issue of these Existing Options, will result in the use of up to additional 40,586,575 Shares. Thus the issuance of additional Shares
29
on the exercise of Existing Options (assuming Shareholder approval to their issuance are obtained) will further dilute the Shares
(m) Contractual Risk
The Company has contractual obligations and rights with respect to a number of agreements it is a party to. These agreements may include provisions which allow for termination (for convenience or otherwise). Additionally, no assurance can be given that all agreements (including the MOU and/or the Consortium Agreement) will be fully performed by all contracting parties and that the Company will be successful in securing compliance with the terms of each agreement by the relevant third party. If a contracting party were to breach a material agreement or terminate a material agreement, this could have an adverse impact on the Company's business, operations and financial performance.
(n) Security breach and data privacy
A malicious attack on the Company’s systems, processes or people from external or internal sources could put the integrity and privacy of customers’ data and business systems used by the Company at risk. The impact of loss or leakage of customer or business data could include costs for rebates, potential service disruption, litigation, and brand damage resulting in reduced or failing revenues.
Although the Company has strategies and protections in place to try and minimise security breaches and to protect data, these strategies might not be successful.
(o) Regulation
Any increased regulation in data protection, privacy, information, security and intellectual property rights may increase the cost of providing services or the quality of services provided by the Company which may adversely impact the profitability of the Company.
8.3 General risks
(a) Economic risks and market conditions
Factors, such as, but not limited to, world economic conditions, political instability, stock market trends, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation levels, commodity prices, industrial disruption, environmental impacts, international competition, taxation changes and legislative or regulatory changes may all have an adverse impact on our revenues, operating costs, profit margins and Share price. These factors are beyond the control of the Company and the Company cannot predict how they will impact its business.
(b) Additional requirements for capital
Further funds will be required for the Group to complete is current programs and achieve its current objectives. Until the Group develops or acquires an income producing asset, it will be dependent on its cash resources and the ability of the Group to obtain future equity or debt funding to support clinical trials and product developments.
Additional equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholdings and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. There are no assurances that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
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 projects.
(c) Implications of Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act
Shareholders may be prevented from acquiring Shares under this Offer Document where to do so would contravene the takeovers prohibition in section 606 of the Corporations Act. Section 606 prohibits a person from acquiring a "relevant interest" (as defined in the Corporations Act) in issued voting shares in a listed company if, because of the transaction, that person's or someone else's voting power in the listed company increases from 20% or
30
below to more than 20% or from a starting point that is above 20% and below 90%, unless an exception applies. There are various exceptions to the general prohibition. However, there is no guarantee that an exception would be available in the relevant circumstances and, even if an exception was potentially available, there is a risk that the exception could not be relied upon without significant cost or delay.
(d) Force Majeure Risk
Force majeure events, such as riot, war, invasion, act of foreign enemies, hostilities (whether war be declared or not), act of terrorism, infectious disease outbreaks, requisition or compulsory acquisition by any governmental or competent authority, earthquakes, flood, fire or other physical natural disasters and strikes or industrial disputes at a national level, may adversely affect the operations of the Company.
(e)
COVID-19 outbreak
Without limiting paragraph (d), the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) (“ COVID-19 ”) is impacting global economic and securities markets. The natural and extent of the effect of the outbreak on the performance of the Company and its Subsidiaries 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 Group’s operations and are likely to be beyond the control of the Company.
The Directors are monitoring the situation closely and have considered the impact of COVID19 on its business and financial performance. However, the situation is continually evolving, and the consequences are therefore inevitably uncertain. The Company is therefore subject to global economic, market and business risks with respect to COVID-19.
In compliance with its continuous disclosure obligations, the Company will continue to update the market regarding the impact of the COVID-19 on its financial performance and adverse impact on the Company and its subsidiaries and the operation of the Company’s business.
(f) Acquisitions
As part of its business strategy, the Company may make acquisitions of, or significant investments in, companies, technologies and/or products that are complementary to the Company’s business or otherwise in line with its business strategy. Any such future transactions are accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making acquisitions of companies, products and technologies, such as integrating cultures and systems of operation, relocation of operations, short term strain on working capital requirements, achieving the sales and margins anticipated and retaining key staff and customer and supplier relationships.
(g) Additionally, any such future transactions may require ASX and/or any other regulatory approvals ( Required Approvals ) and may also be subject to the compliance with regulatory requirements. Any Required Approvals may be granted with or without conditions. There is no guarantee that all Required Approvals will be given. Litigation, claims and disputes
While the members of the Group are currently not subject to litigation and other claims and disputes in the course of it business, including contractual disputes, employment disputes, occupational and personal claims ( Claims) , there is no guarantee or assurance that such Claims may not arise after the date of this Offer Document.
It is noted that if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries becomes subject to any Claims, any such Claims, including the costs of settling such Claims, could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, operations, financial performance and reputation.
31
(h) Returns not guaranteed
There is no guarantee of any income distribution or capital return on the Shares nor is there a guarantee of repayment of capital amounts. Shareholders will not be entitled to any guaranteed distributions of profits or capital.
(i) Taxation
Given that the Group will consist of foreign subsidiaries, the Group will be subject to various forms of taxation including but not limited to PAYG, GST and resident and non-resident withholding tax. Any increase, change in the application, or introduction of a new tax in Australia and/or internationally could materially affect the performance and financial position of the Company.
32
9. Additional information

The Company is listed on the ASX and its Shares are quoted on the ASX under the code: TYM.

All Directors have advised that they intend to take up part or all of their respective Entitlements.
9.4 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.
9.5 Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship
The Company currently operates an electronic issuer-sponsored register and an electronic CHESS sub-register. The two sub-registers together will comprise the Company's register of Shares.
The Company will not issue certificates. Investors who are allotted Shares under this Offer Document will be provided with a transaction confirmation statement which sets out the number of New Shares allotted to them. Investors who elect to hold Shares on the issuer-sponsored sub-register will be provided with a holding statement (similar to a bank account statement) which sets out the number of Shares allotted to the Shareholder under this Offer Document. For investors who elect to hold their Shares on the CHESS sub-register, the Company will issue an advice that sets out the number of the Shares allotted to the Investor under this Offer Document. At the end of the month of allotment, CHESS, acting on behalf of the Company, will provide those Shareholders with a holding statement that confirms the number of Shares held and any transactions during that month.
A holding statement (whether issued by CHESS or the Company) will also provide details of the applicable Holder Identification Number in case of a holding on the CHESS sub-register or Reference Number in case of a holding on the issuer-sponsored sub-register. Following distribution of these initial holding statements, a holding statement will also be provided to each Shareholder at the end of any subsequent month during which the balance of that Shareholder's holding of securities in the Company changes.
A Shareholder may request a holding statement at any other time. However, a charge may be imposed by the Share Registry for additional statements.
