4.4 What Eligible Shareholders may do

The number of Shares to which Eligible Shareholders are entitled is shown on the accompanying personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Eligible Shareholders may:

  • (a) take up all of their Entitlement (refer to Section 4.5);

  • (b) take up all of their Entitlement and apply for Shares under the Shortfall Offer (Section 4.6);

  • (c) sell all of their Entitlement on ASX (refer to Section 4.7);

  • (d) take up a proportion of their Entitlement and sell the balance on ASX (refer to Section 4.8);

  • (e) take up a proportion of their Entitlement and allow the balance to lapse (refer to Section 4.9);

  • (f) sell all or a proportion of their Entitlement other than on ASX (refer to section 4.10); or

  • (g) allow all or part of their Entitlement to lapse (refer to Section 4.11).

One (1) New Option will be issued for every three (3) Shares subscribed for and issued under the Offer. Please read the instructions referred to in this Prospectus and on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form carefully.

4.5 Taking up all of your Entitlement

Should you wish to accept all of your Entitlement, then an application for Shares must be made by completing and returning the Entitlement and Acceptance Form which accompanies this Prospectus or by completing a BPAY® payment, in accordance with the instructions referred to in this Prospectus and on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Please read the instructions carefully.

Please complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form by filling in the details in the spaces provided and attach a cheque for the Application Monies indicated on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

Completed Entitlement and Acceptance Forms must be accompanied by a cheque in Australian dollars, crossed “Not Negotiable” and made payable to the account name set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form and lodged and received at any time after the issue of this Prospectus and on or before the Closing Date at the Company's Share Registry (by delivery or by post) in accordance with the details set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

If you wish to pay via BPAY® you must follow the personalised instructions in your Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Make sure that you use the specific Biller Code and unique Customer Reference Number (CRN) on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You do not need to return a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form and the representations outlined below in section 4.12. If you have more than one shareholding of Shares and

6

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).

You should be aware that your own financial institution may implement earlier cutoff 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 4:00pm (WST) on the Closing Date.

The Company shall not be responsible for any postal or delivery delays or delay in the receipt of the BPAY® payment.

4.6 Taking up all of your Entitlement and applying for Shares under the Shortall Offer

Should you wish to accept all of your Entitlement and apply for Shares under the Shortfall Offer, then an application for Shares must be made by completing the appropriate sections of the Entitlement and Acceptance Form which accompanies this Prospectus and returning the form accompanied by a cheque for the full amount payable or by completing a BPAY® payment, in accordance with the instructions referred to in Section 4.5 and on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

4.7 Selling all of your Entitlement on ASX

The Entitlements under the Offer are renounceable which means that all or part of an Eligible Shareholder’s rights to subscribe for Shares under the Offer may be traded on ASX. If you wish to sell all of your Entitlement on ASX, provide instructions to your stockbroker regarding the Entitlement you wish to sell on ASX. Trading of Entitlements will commence on ASX on 29 June 2020 and will cease on 15 July 2020. There is no guarantee that an Eligible Shareholder will be able to sell all or any part of their Entitlement on ASX or that any particular price will be paid for the Entitlements sold on ASX.

4.8 Taking up a proportion of your Entitlement and selling the balance on ASX

If you wish to take up only part of your Entitlement, complete the accompanying personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form for the number of Shares you wish to take up and follow the steps in Section 4.5 for such Shares. Subsequently, provide instructions to your stockbroker regarding the proportion of your Entitlement you wish to sell on ASX.

4.9 Taking up a proportion of your Entitlement and allowing the balance to lapse

If you wish to take up only part of your Entitlement and allow the balance to lapse, complete the accompanying personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form for the number of Shares you wish to take up and follow the steps in Section 4.5 for such Shares. If you take no further action, the balance of your Entitlement will lapse and you will have forfeited any potential benefit to be gained from taking up or selling that part of your Entitlement.

7

4.10 Selling all or a proportion of your Entitlement other than on ASX

You may elect to transfer all or a proportion of your Entitlement to another person other than on ASX. If the purchaser of your Entitlement is an Ineligible Shareholder or a person that would be an Ineligible Shareholder if they were a registered holder of Shares, that purchaser will not be able to take up the Entitlement they have purchased.

If you are a shareholder on the issuer sponsored subregister and you wish to transfer all or a proportion of your Entitlement to another person other than on ASX, forward a completed standard renunciation and transfer form (obtainable from the Share Registry) and the applicable transferee's cheque for the Shares they wish to subscribe for payable to the account name set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form and crossed “Not Negotiable” to the Share Registry (by delivery or by post at any time after the issue of this Prospectus and on or before the Closing Date) in accordance with the details set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

If you wish to transfer all or a proportion of your Entitlement to or from another person on the CHESS subregister you must engage your CHESS controlling participant (usually your stockbroker). If the transferee wants to exercise some or all of the Entitlement, you should follow your stockbroker's instructions as to the most appropriate way to take up the Entitlement on their behalf. The Application Monies for Shares the transferee of the Entitlement wants to acquire must be received by Share Registry in accordance with section 4.5.

You may elect to transfer all or a proportion of your Entitlement to another person other than on ASX. If the purchaser of your Entitlement is an Ineligible Shareholder or a person that would be an Ineligible Shareholder if they were a registered holder of Shares, that purchaser will not be able to take up the Entitlement they have purchased.

4.11 Allow all or part of your Entitlement to lapse

Shareholders should be aware that their Entitlement may have value. Entitlements are renounceable, which enable Eligible Shareholders who do not wish to take up part or all of their Entitlement to seek to sell or trade all or some of their Entitlement on ASX. If you do not wish to accept or trade any part of your Entitlement, you are not obliged to do anything. If you do not take up your Entitlement or dispose of your Entitlement by the Closing Date, the Offer to you will lapse.

4.12 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; and

  • (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.

4.13 Underwriting and Lead Manager

The Offer is partially underwritten by the Underwriter to a maximum amount of $1,000,000 on the conditions set out in Section 8.4. The Underwriter has also been appointed as Lead Manager to the Offer. Please refer to Section 8.4 for details of the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.

4.14 Effect on control of the Company

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Underwriter does not hold any Shares or Options and, accordingly, does not have any voting power in the Company. At a maximum, the Underwriter will be required to subscribe for 1,000,000,000 Shares and 333,333,333 New Options under the Underwriting Agreement.

Shareholders should be aware that the extent to which Shares are issued pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement will result in the Underwriter increasing its voting power in the Company. The Underwriter is not a related party of the Company for the purpose of the Corporations Act.

The Underwriting Agreement allows the Underwriter to enter into sub-underwriting agreements to pass on some or all of its obligations to subscribe for the Shortfall under the Underwriting Agreement. The Underwriter has confirmed to the Company that it has entered into a number of sub-underwriting agreements up to the full underwritten amount of $1,000,000.

Entities controlled by Robert Clisdell and Peter James, each Directors of the Company have entered into agreements with the Underwriter to sub-underwrite a portion of the Offer. Robert Clisdell has agreed to sub-underwrite the Offer up to $30,000 (30,000,000 Shares) and Peter James has agreed to sub-underwrite the Offer up to $65,000 (65,000,000 Shares). Azalea Investments Pty Ltd ( Azalea Investments ) (a substantial shareholder of the Company, refer to Section 5.5) or its nominee has entered into an agreement with the Underwriter to sub-underwrite the Offer up to $50,000 (50,000,000 Shares). Pursuant to the terms of the subunderwriting, the Underwriter shall pay Messrs Clisdell and James and Azalea Investments a sub-underwriting fee of 3% (excluding GST) of the amount of the Offer they have respectively sub-underwritten. Further, subject to Shareholder approval, each of Messrs Clisdell and James and Azalea Investments will be issued 1 Underwriter Option for every 3 Shares which they respectively sub-underwrite the subscription of. The Underwriter Options issued to such parties will have the effect of decreasing the number of Underwriter Options to be issued to the Underwriter.

The maximum potential increase in voting power to Messrs Clisdell and James and Azalea Investments as a result of the sub-underwriting arrangements is set out below.

Notes:

  1. These figures assume that: (i) all Shares are issued pursuant to the Offer; (ii) each party in the table above takes up their full respective Entitlement under the Offer (noting that the

9

Company is not aware of such party’s intentions with respect to their respective Entitlement); and (iii) that each party in the table above is obliged to subscribe for all of their respective sub-underwritten Shares pursuant to the sub-underwriting agreements.

  1. The entity controlled by Mr Clisdell which has agreed to sub-underwrite the Offer is Rondy Investments Pty Ltd as trustee for Clisdell Family Trust #1.

  2. The entity controlled by Mr James which has agreed to sub-underwrite the Offer is Christie James Funds Management as trustee for Christie James Super Fund.

In the event that there is a Shortfall, the sub-underwriting arrangements will have the effect of decreasing the number of Shares to be subscribed for by the Underwriter to nil, given these sub-underwriting commitments in aggregate cover the full underwritten amount of $1,000,000. For illustrative purposes, the Underwriter’s present relevant interest and changes under several scenarios are set out in the table below:

----- End of picture text -----

  1. The voting power calculated does not account for any Options to be issued to the Underwriter under this Prospectus, which may be subsequently exercised and converted to Shares.

The above example scenarios show the potential effect of the underwriting of the Offer by the Underwriter. However, it is unlikely that no Eligible Shareholders will subscribe for their Entitlement under the Offer and as set out above, as the Underwriter has confirmed it has entered into sub-underwriting agreements in respect of the full underwritten amount of $1,000,000, the Underwriter’s voting power is unlikely to change. In addition, the above example scenarios do not take into account any Shortfall that may be subsequently placed to Eligible Shareholders or third parties which would reduce the control impact.

The underwriting obligation and therefore potential voting power of the Underwriter will reduce by a corresponding amount to the extent of the Entitlements under the Offer taken up by Eligible Shareholders and Shortfall taken up by sub-underwriters or placed to Eligible Shareholders and third parties. Any relevant interest acquired by the Underwriter will also be diluted if any Optionholders exercise and convert their Options to Shares.

It is a term of the Underwriting Agreement that the Underwriter must ensure that no sub-underwriter (together with their associates) acquires a relevant interest in more than 19.9% of the issued share capital of the Company.

4.15 Dilution

In addition to the potential control impacts set out in Section 4.14, Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Offer, their holdings are likely to be diluted by approximately 66.67% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus). Examples of how the dilution may impact Shareholders (assuming no Options have been exercised) is set out in the table below:

Notes:

  1. Assumes full subscription.

  2. Based on an issued share capital of 791,911,275 Shares as at the date of this Prospectus.

  3. The dilutionary effect shown in the table is the maximum percentage on the assumption that those Entitlements not accepted are placed under the Shortfall Offer and/or subunderwriting arrangements.

4.16

Shortfall Offer

Any Entitlement not taken up pursuant to the Offer will form the Shortfall Offer. 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 will be $0.001, being the price at which Shares have been offered under the Offer.

Eligible Shareholders may apply for Shortfall Securities under the Shortfall Offer, subject to such Shareholders taking up their full Entitlement, by completing the appropriate section on their Entitlement and Acceptance Form or by making payment for such Shortfall Securities in accordance with Section 4.4 by no later than 5:00 pm (WST) on the Closing Date. Shortfall will be allocated in priority to Eligible Shareholders who take up their full Entitlement, who are not related to Directors, on a pro rata basis in accordance with Eligible Shareholders’ Entitlements under the Offer, with any remaining Shortfall Shares (the subscription of which is not underwritten) to be allowed to lapse or placed to third parties.

The final allocation of the Shortfall will be at the discretion of the Underwriter and the Board who will ensure that the allocation of Shortfall Securities will be undertaken in a manner so as not to exacerbate a potential unacceptable control effect.

The Company notes that no Securities will be issued to an Applicant under the Offer or via the Shortfall Offer if the issue of Shares would contravene the takeover prohibition in section 606 of the Corporations Act.

4.17 ASX listing

Application for Official Quotation of the Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus will be made in accordance with the timetable set out at Section 2. If

11

ASX does not grant Official Quotation of the Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus before the expiration of 3 months after the date of issue of this Prospectus, or such period as varied by the ASIC, the Company will not issue any Securities and will repay all Application Monies for the Securities within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest.

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 offered for subscription under this Prospectus.

4.18

Issue

Securities issued pursuant to the Offer will be issued in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and timetable set out at Section 2.

Securities issued pursuant to the Shortfall Offer will be issued on a progressive basis and in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement. Where the number of Shares 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 in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and timetable set out at Section 2 and for Shortfall Securities issued under the Shortfall Offer as soon as practicable after their issue.

4.19 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 Securities will not be issued to Shareholders with a registered address which is outside Australia or New Zealand.

The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia and New Zealand may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus should seek advice on and observe any such restrictions. Any failure to comply with such restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws. No action has been taken to register or qualify the Securities the subject of this Prospectus or otherwise permit a public offering of the Securities the subject of this Prospectus in any jurisdiction outside Australia and New Zealand.

New Zealand

The Securities are not being offered to the public within New Zealand other than to existing Shareholders with registered addresses in New Zealand to whom the offer of these Securities is being made in reliance on the transitional provisions of

12

the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (New Zealand) and the Financial Markets Conduct (Incidental Offers) Exemption Notice 2016 (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 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.

Appointment of Nominee

Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.7, the Company has appointed a nominee, Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited, to sell the Entitlements to which Ineligible Shareholders are entitled. The nominee will have the absolute and sole discretion to determine the timing and price at which the Entitlements may be sold and the manner of any such sale.

Any interest earned on the proceeds of the sale of these Entitlements will firstly be applied against expenses of such sale, including brokerage and any balance will accrue to the relevant Ineligible Shareholders as described below.

The net proceeds of the sale of these Entitlements will then be forwarded by the Company as soon as practicable to the Ineligible Shareholders, in proportion to their share of such Entitlements (after deducting brokerage commission and other expenses).

Notwithstanding that the nominee may sell Entitlements, Ineligible Shareholders may nevertheless receive no net proceeds if the costs of the sale are greater than the sale proceeds. Shareholders should be aware that the nominee will not be required to sell the Entitlements of Ineligible Shareholders at a particular price.

Neither the Company nor the nominee will be subject to any liability for failure to sell the Entitlements or to sell the Entitlements at a particular price. If, in the reasonable opinion of the nominee, there is no viable market for the Entitlements of the Ineligible Shareholders, or a surplus over the expenses of the sale cannot be obtained for the Entitlements that would have been offered to the Ineligible Shareholders, then those Entitlements will be allowed to lapse.

Notes:

  1. These unaudited management accounts have been prepared on a basis consistent with the principal accounting policies adopted by the Company as disclosed in its annual report for the year ended 31 December 2019.

  2. In April 2020, the Company was approved for a non-dilutive, COVID-19 relief loan under the US Government’s Paycheck Protection Program, valued at approximately US$76,000. The Paycheck Protection Program loan is designated for small businesses and has a loan forgiveness feature that may enable the foregoing of repayment on a portion of the loan amount. This loan is unsecured, carries a one percent (1%) interest rate, and has payments deferred for six (6) months from the time of funding, with repayment due in twenty-four (24) months. It is anticipated that a portion of this loan will be forgiven based primarily on ATC’s payroll paid in the weeks subsequent to the loan disbursement.

  3. In January 2020, the Company announced it had entered into a non-convertible unsecured credit facility agreement with Bergen Global Opportunity Fund, LP. Under this agreement, the lender made US$248,000 available to the Company, which could be drawn down by the Company over the following twelve (12) months. A further US$352,000 may be drawn down by mutual agreement between the Company and lender. The Company elected to put the facility in place in order to provide it with additional working capital, should such working capital be needed. To date, the facility has not been drawn down.

  4. Included within other current assets as at 31 May 2020 are receivables of approximately $367,000 that were received in cash by the date of this Prospectus.

  5. Represents the effect of the proceeds of the Offer less anticipated expenses associated with the Offer, under the assumption that only the amount underwritten of $1,000,000 is raised as proceeds. Included within the impact of the options are 333,333,333 Underwriter Options that are to be issued to the Underwriter (or its nominees), valued at $172,653.

  6. Represents the additional effect of the proceeds of the Offer less anticipated expenses associated with the Offer, including the impact of issuing additional Options, assuming the Offer is fully subscribed.

  7. In respect of the portion of the amount to be raised under the Offer which is not underwritten (approximately $583,823), the Company has also agreed to issue one additional (1) New Option to the Underwriter (or its nominees) for every three (3) Shares which are not subscribed for by Eligible Shareholders and are placed to third parties by the Underwriter (being a maximum potential number of an additional 194,607,517 New Options) subject to Shareholder approval. These Options have a total value of $100,799. The options reserve and the retained loss would be further increased/(decreased) by this amount respectively. Please refer to Section 8.4 for further details in relation to the issue of these Placed Shortfall Options.

6. RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES ATTACHING TO SECURITIES

6.1 Shares

The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to 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.

(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 the 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). Amounts paid in advance of a call are ignored when calculating the proportion.

(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 or credited as paid is of the total amounts paid and payable in respect of such Shares.

The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders any interim dividends as they believe to be justified subject to the requirements of the

21

Corporations Act. No dividend shall carry interest as 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, grant shareholders or a class of shareholders the right to elect to reinvest cash dividends paid by the Company by subscribing for Shares on the terms determined by the Board.

(d) 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 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.

(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 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.

(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

Pursuant to 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.

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.

22

(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.

6.2 New Options to be issued under the Offer and the Option Offer to the Underwriter

(a) Entitlement

Each Option entitles the holder to subscribe for one Share upon exercise of the Option.

(c) Expiry Date

(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 Option being exercised in cleared funds ( Exercise Date ).

(g) Timing of issue of Shares on exercise

Within 15 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 Options specified in 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

23

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 Options.

If a notice delivered under paragraph 6.2(ii) above 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 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 Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Options without exercising the Options.

  • (k)

Change in exercise price

An Option does not confer the right to a change in Exercise Price or a change in the number of underlying securities over which the Option can be exercised.

(l)

Transferability

The Options are transferable subject to any restriction or escrow arrangements imposed by ASX or under applicable Australian securities laws.

24

7. RISK FACTORS

7.1 Introduction

The Securities offered under this Prospectus are considered highly speculative. An investment in the Company is not risk free and the Directors strongly recommend potential investors to consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus and to consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

There are specific risks which relate directly to the Company’s business. 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 Securities.

The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.

7.2 Company specific

(a) Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The outbreak of the coronavirus ( 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 sales and/or 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 material procurement, 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 volume or timing. 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.

The Directors are actively 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 potential revenue channels and any adverse impact on the Company and its operations. If any of these impacts appear material prior to close of the Offer, the Company will notify investors under a supplementary prospectus.

Investors should refer to the Company’s ASX announcement released on 24 April 2020 which provides that the Company received a non-dilutive COVID-19 relief loan from the US government through its US subsidiary, Aquabotix Technology Corporation.

25

(b) Going concern risk

The Company’s financial report for the year ended 31 December 2019 stated the Company and its controlled entities (together, the Group ) “incurred losses of $2,409,264 and had net cash outflows used in operating activities of $2,007,199. The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on a number of factors, the most significant of which is its ability to generate sufficient returns from operating activities, or to raise further capital, thus resulting in a material uncertainty that may cast doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business”.

Notwithstanding the ‘going concern’ note included in the 2019 annual report, the Directors believe that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will continue as a going concern post the 12-month period to 31 December 2020, after consideration of the following factors:

  • (i) on 28 January 2020, the Company entered into a nonconvertible unsecured credit facility agreement with Bergen Global Opportunity Fund LP ( Lender ), a related party to the Company. Under the agreement, the Lender made available US$248,000 by way of an unsecured credit facility, to be drawn down at its discretion by the Company over the following 12 months subject to it meeting various administrative conditions precedent. A further US$352,000 may be drawn down by mutual agreement between the Company and the Lender. Initial fees of US$48,000 will be payable if the Company elects to draw down on the facility. Interest is payable on any drawn down amount at a rate of 14.99%, payable in arrears on a quarterly basis. The facility is available for a period of 12 months from the date of execution of the agreement. In the event that facility is drawn down, the maturity date for repayment of the loans is 21 January 2021;

  • (ii) the Company had net current assets of $245,818, net assets of $278,570 as well as cash and cash equivalents of $260,254 as at 31 December 2019;

  • (iii) the Company expects to generate revenues from the sale of SwarmDiver[TM ] and other products and services within the next 12 months and beyond;

  • (iv) the Company has the ability to issue additional shares to raise further working capital and has been successful in doing this previously, as evidenced by the successful capital raising completed during financial year ended 31 December 2019;

  • (v) the Company has the ability to apply for additional grants to fund research and development activities for additional components or to further enhance the capabilities of its existing products. During 2019, the Company benefitted from one such arrangement with the Defense Innovation Network in Australia as well as U.S. Military-funded development contracts;

  • (vi) the Company has the ability to apply for additional grants to fund export and marketing activities to further promote the sale of its products. During 2019, the Company received one such

26

grant for participation in a trade show, and the Company has already been notified of acceptance for its first 2020 trade show support; and

  • (vii) the Company also has the ability to scale down its operations in order to further curtail expenditure in the event insufficient cash is available to meet projected expenditure.

In the event that the Offer is not completed successfully, there is significant 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.

  • (c)

Potential for significant dilution

Upon implementation of the Offer, assuming all Entitlements are accepted and no Options are exercised prior to the Record Date the number of Shares in the Company will increase from 791,911,275 currently on issue to 2,375,733,825. This means that each Share will represent a significantly lower proportion of the ownership of the Company.

It is not possible to predict what the value of the Company or 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 this Prospectus being lodged of $0.001 is not a reliable indicator as to the potential trading price of Shares after implementation of the Offer.

(d)

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 development and research 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.

(e)

Shareholder dilution

In the future, the Company may elect to issue Shares or other securities. While the Company will be subject to the constraints of the ASX Listing Rules regarding the issue of Shares or other securities, Shareholders may be diluted as a result of issues of Shares or other securities. Further, on the conversion of Performance Shares into Shares, Shareholders will be further diluted.

(f) Limited operations

The Company has limited operations and may be dependent on equity and debt fund-raising and/or dividends and distributions from its subsidiaries.

27

(g) Acquisitions

The Company’s growth strategy may involve finding and consummating acquisitions in areas complimentary or adjacent to its existing business, or potentially in unrelated sectors. The Company may not be successful in identifying and acquiring suitable acquisition targets at acceptable cost. Further, acquisitions may require additional funding on acceptable terms, which may or may not be available at the relevant time. Further, the Company will experience competition in making acquisitions from larger companies with significantly greater resources.

(h)

International operations

The Company sells its products to international customers and expects to continue to do business around the world. The Company’s operations will therefore be subject to a number of risks inherent in global operations, including political and economic instability in foreign markets, inconsistent product regulation by foreign agencies or governments, imposition of product tariffs and burdens, cost of complying with a wide variety of international and U.S. export laws and regulatory requirements (including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.S. Export Administration Act and the U.S. Arms Export Control Act (and the regulations promulgated thereunder)), risks stemming from the Company’s lack of local business experience in specific foreign countries, foreign currency fluctuations, difficulty in enforcing intellectual property rights, foreign taxes, and language and other cultural barriers. Additionally, operating an international business with sales in a number of legal jurisdictions will necessarily require substantial input from a variety of legal counsel and expose the Company to legal costs that may be disproportionately high relative to its revenues, and will be incurred regardless of whether the Company derives revenues from a given jurisdiction or at all.

(i)

Litigation

As announced on 28 January 2020, the Company’s product SwarmDiver incorporates, among others, certain technology of which the Company’s wholly owned U.S subsidiary, Aquabotix Technology Corporation ( ATC ), is the licensee. On 23 January 2020, the Company learned that the licensor of the technology, Apium Inc. ( Apium ), had filed a lawsuit against ATC in the U.S District Court, Central District of California in Los Angeles. The lawsuit includes claims for actual and anticipatory breach of the license agreement, a declaratory judgment that the license is terminated and that Apium itself has not breached the license, as well as violation of the U.S. Defend Trade Secrets Act. As disclosed on 28 January 2020, the Company and ATC believe the lawsuit is without merit and that Apium’s actions are themselves a breach of the terms of the licence agreement. As announced on 3 April 2020, ATC has filed a motion to dismiss in the relevant court, however there is no guarantee that this motion will be successful or that an attractive negotiated solution will be achieved.

The Company and/or ATC may be subject to further litigation risks including, but not limited to, intellectual property ownership disputes, contractual claims, environmental claims, 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.

28

(j) Disputes

The activities of the Company may result in disputes with third parties, including, without limitation, the Company’s investors, competitors, regulators, partners, distributors, customers, directors, officers and employees, suppliers, licensors and service providers. The Company may incur substantial costs in connection with such disputes.

(k) Strategies

There are no limits on strategies that the Company may pursue. The strategy may evolve over time due to, among other things, market developments and trends, technical challenges, the emergence of new or enhanced technology, changing regulation and/or industry practice, and otherwise in the Company’s sole discretion. As a result, the current strategy, approaches, markets and products of the Company may not reflect the strategies, approaches, markets and products relevant to, or pursued by, the Company at a later date.

Further, a change in strategy may involve material and as yet unanticipated risks, as well as a high degree of risk, including a higher degree of risk than the Company’s strategy in place as of the date hereof.

(l) Governmental contracts

A significant portion of the Company’s revenues may depend on the Company’s ability to do business with the U.S. as well as foreign governments and their various agencies, whether directly or indirectly. Such customers may:

  • (i) award, terminate or modify contracts at their convenience;

  • (ii) terminate, reduce or modify contracts or subcontracts if its requirements or budgetary constraints change;

  • (iii) cancel multi-year contracts and related orders if funds become unavailable;

  • (iv) shift their spending priorities;

  • (v) adjust contract costs and fees on the basis of audits done by its agencies;

  • (vi) use and practice intellectual property developed in the performance of a government contract or subcontract;

  • (vii) claim rights to intellectual property not properly protected pursuant applicable contract terms;

  • (viii) seek penalties and fines exceeding the value of a contract for contract activity that results in the submission of a false claim to the government;

  • (ix) debar the Company or its subsidiaries because of legal and other actions undertaken by or against the Company or its subsidiaries, the Company’s officers, directors, shareholders,

29

employees and affiliates, or convictions of the Company’s officers, directors, shareholders, employees or affiliates;

  • (x) inquire about and investigate business practices and audit compliance with applicable rules and regulations; and

  • (xi) direct or redirect sources of materials, suppliers, contract manufacturers, or other key operations under its contracts.

(m) Contracts in general

There are a number of risks associated with contracts entered into by the Company, including the risk that those contracts may contain unfavourable provisions, or be terminated, lost or impaired, or renewed on less favourable terms.

(n) Supply

The Company may experience delivery delays or inability to perform if its contract or component manufacturers, suppliers or sub-contractors fail to deliver conforming products or services to plan. The Company’s products are currently manufactured using a contract manufacturer, though the Company may at some point in the future elect to manufacture in house. Any operational issues that the current or future manufacturer incurs may affect the delivery of the products. The Company may depend on its current or any future manufacturer to adjust operations accordingly with demand of the products to ensure no back log in production. There may also be a risk with working with only one future manufacturer, in that suspension or termination of the agreement to produce will temporary halt all deliveries until an issue is resolved or a new agreement is made with another manufacturer. Further, as the Company generally seeks contract manufacturers with experience in delivering government or military orders, there may be requirements associated with those other orders that affect timing of production, causing delay or other disruption in the production for the Company’s requirements.

The Company’s products contain both off-the-shelf and custom parts and components. The availability of any of these materials may be delayed, discontinued, modified, re-priced, or otherwise changed such that those changes impact the cost, timeline, or ability to complete production, with or without any prior notice to the Company. These events may impact the Company’s ability to offer for sale or deliver against existing contracts successfully. These events may also necessitate costly modification, design, or re-development of the products, which the Company may or may not have resources available to support.

(o) Product liability

As with all new products, there is no assurance that unforeseen adverse events or manufacturing defects will not arise in the Company’s products. Adverse events could expose the Company to product liability claims or litigation, resulting in the removal of regulatory approval for the relevant products and/or monetary damages being awarded against the Company. In such event, the Company's liability may exceed the Company's insurance coverage, if any.

30

(p) Environmental

The Company’s operations are subject to government environmental legislation. While environmental issues are continually monitored to minimise the likelihood of risk there is no assurance that the Company’s operations will not be affected by an environmental incident or subject to environmental liabilities. The introduction of new environmental legislation and regulations may result in additional cost to the Company arising from additional compliance, further capital expenditure and monitoring which may have a material adverse impact on the financial position and performance of the Company.

(q)

Data loss, theft or corruption

The Company stores data in its own systems and networks and also with a variety of third-party service providers. Exploitation or hacking of any of these systems or networks could lead to corruption, theft or loss of the data which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results. Further, if the Company’s systems, networks or technology are subject to any type of ‘cyber’ crime, its technology may be perceived as unsecure which may lead to a decrease in the number of customers.

(r)

Foreign exchange

The Company will be operating in a variety of jurisdictions, including the United States of America and Australia, and as such, expects to generate revenue and incur costs and expenses in more than one currency. Consequently, movements in currency exchange rates may adversely or beneficially affect the Company’s results or operations and cash flows. For example, the appreciation or depreciation of the US dollar relative to the Australian dollar would result in a foreign currency loss or gain. Any depreciation of currencies in foreign jurisdictions in which the Company operates may result in lower than anticipated revenue, profit and earnings of the Company.

(s)

Insurance coverage

The Company faces various risks in conducting its business and may lack adequate insurance coverage or may not have the relevant insurance coverage. The Company will need to review its insurance requirements periodically. If the Company incurs substantial losses or liabilities and its insurance coverage is unavailable or inadequate to cover such losses or liabilities, the Company’s financial position and financial performance may be adversely affected. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company.

(t) Climate change risks

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:

  • (i) 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

31

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

(ii) 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.

7.3 General Risks

(a) Economic conditions and other global 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 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.

(b) 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:

  • (i) general economic outlook;

  • (ii) introduction of tax reform or other new legislation;

  • (iii) interest rates and inflation rates;

  • (iv) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;

  • (v) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and

  • (vi) 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.

Further, the value of the Shares may fluctuate more sharply than that of other securities, given the low per Share pricing of the Shares under the Prospectus, and the fact that investment in the Company is highly speculative.

32

7.4 Speculative investment

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Securities offered under this Prospectus.

Therefore, the Securities to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Securities.

Potential investors should consider that an investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

33

8. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

8.1 Litigation

Other than as set out in Section 7.2(i) of this Prospectus, the Company is not involved in any legal proceedings and the Directors are not aware of any legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company.

8.2

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 Company’s securities.

This Prospectus is a “transaction specific prospectus”. In general terms a “transaction specific prospectus” 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.

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 3 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.

Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.

The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act states that:

  • (a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;

  • (b) copies of documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company (not being documents referred to in section 1274(2)(a) of the Corporations Act) may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of the ASIC; and

  • (i) it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the Closing Date:

  • (ii) the annual financial report most recently lodged by the Company with the ASIC;

34

  • (iii) any half-year financial report lodged by the Company with the ASIC after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC; and

  • (iv) any continuous disclosure documents given by the Company to ASX in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules as referred to in section 674(1) of the Corporations Act after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC.

Copies of all documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company can be inspected at the registered office of the Company during normal office hours.

Details of documents lodged by the Company with ASX since the date of lodgement of the Company’s latest annual financial report and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC are set out in the table below.

Remuneration

The remuneration of an executive Director is decided by the Board, without the affected executive Director participating in that decision-making process. The total maximum remuneration of non-executive Directors is initially set by the Constitution and subsequent variation is by ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting in accordance with the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, as applicable. The determination of non-executive Directors’ remuneration within that maximum will be made by the Board having regard to the inputs and value to the Company of the respective contributions by each non-executive Director. The current amount has been set at an amount not to exceed $300,000 per annum.

A Director may be paid fees or other amounts (ie non-cash performance incentives such as Options, subject to any necessary Shareholder approval) as the other Directors determine where a Director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director. In addition, Directors are also entitled to be paid reasonable travelling, hotel and other expenses incurred by them respectively in or about the performance of their duties as Directors.

The following table shows the total (and proposed) annual remuneration paid to both executive and non-executive directors.

8.9 Electronic prospectus

If you have received this Prospectus as an electronic Prospectus, please ensure that you have received the entire Prospectus accompanied by the Application Forms. If you have not, please phone the Company on +61 8 9389 3100 and the Company will send you, for free, either a hard copy or a further electronic copy of the Prospectus, or both. Alternatively, you may obtain a copy of this Prospectus from the Company’s website at www.aquabotix.com.

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.

8.10

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.

8.11 Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship

The Company will not be issuing share or option certificates. 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 Shares 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.

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.

8.12 Privacy Act

If you complete an application for Securities, you will be providing personal information to the Company (directly or by the Company’s share registry). The Company collects, holds and will use that information to assess your application, service your needs as a holder of equity securities in the Company, facilitate distribution payments and corporate communications to you as a Shareholder and carry out administration.

46

The information may also be used from time to time and disclosed to persons inspecting the register, 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 Company’s share registry.

You can access, correct and update the personal information that we hold about you. Please contact the Company or its share registry if you wish to do so at the relevant contact numbers set out in this Prospectus.

Collection, maintenance and disclosure of certain personal information is governed by legislation including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (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.
