4. CHAIRMAN'S LETTER

Dear Investor,

On behalf of the Directors of GRP Corporation Limited (GRP), I am pleased to present you with this opportunity to become a shareholder in GRP.

GRP is an Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) listed company based in Perth which, after deferring its energy interests and evaluating other growth alternatives, has agreed to an exciting transformational merger with Helpa Inc. (Spring.me) (Merger). After completion of the Merger, the Company will be known as "Spring Networks Limited".

Helpa Inc. was incorporated in December 2012 by Ari Klinger and Colin Fabig with the formal launch of the Spring.me social network occurring in September 2013.

Spring.me's vision is to become a leading social media network of websites and mobile applications for making friends. Spring.me, through a wholly owned subsidiary, owns the domain name "www.spring.me". Within a year of Spring.me network's formal launch (and as at September 2014), it has already achieved 5 million regular Visitors per month.

The Spring.me network is continuing to grow quickly without any paid external marketing. Spring.me's Visitors are predominately 16-35 year olds from the United States, Eastern Europe and Brazil with only a small percentage of Visitors from Australia.

Helpa Inc. (which is referred to as Spring.me throughout this Prospectus) is an unlisted public company registered in the United States of America which holds intellectual property assets, domains and an operational business underpinning its social network platform. Spring.me has a strong board and management team with specialist expertise and a proven track record of founding and managing global internet ventures based out of Australia.

Spring.me believes it can help to improve our lives, our community and our world by using technology to assist people make new friends and therefore get more out of life via Spring.me's networks. Just like dating sites are one of the new ways to date, travel sites are one of the new ways to book holidays and job sites are one of the new ways to find a new career – the Spring.me Directors hope that Spring.me and its social network of websites and mobile applications will be seen as a new way to make new friends.

Still in its infancy, right now on the Spring.me platform, Visitors from around the world can share ideas, thoughts, perspectives and opinions with strangers, followers or other Spring.me Members and in due course make new friends. In the near future, it is intended that Spring.me will be enhanced with matching algorithms based on Members' interests and values, allowing them to suggest people to meet and conversations to join to help people meet other people just like them (from around their city and around the world). Sponsors, advertisers and experts will have the opportunity to leverage the network and connect with potential customers based on their actions, interests or purchase intent.

Importantly, as part of the Merger, the expertise of the Spring.me Board and management team will be retained with Colin Fabig, Ari Klinger, and Roger Harley to join the board of GRP upon completion of the Merger. We believe this will provide the Merged Group with an exceptional team able to deliver strong value for Shareholders.

There are risks involved with an investment in the Company and I strongly recommend you to consider the risk factors described below in this Prospectus before deciding whether to apply for Securities and to consult your professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities.

A successful completion of the Merger will result in a material change in the nature and scale of GRP's activities. The purpose of this Prospectus is to ensure that GRP is able to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules and to provide the Company with funding to pursue its strategy to grow its business and to grow the Spring.me social media network of websites and apps. Under this Prospectus, GRP is seeking to raise up to $5 million by the issue of, on a post-Consolidation basis, 25 million fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of GRP (New Shares) at an issue price of $0.20 per New Share (Public Offer). Oversubscriptions of up to a further 5 million New Shares at an issue price of $0.20 per New Share to raise up to a further $1 million may be accepted under the Public Offer.

The Prospectus is also for the offer of Securities to Spring.me Shareholders in consideration for the acquisition by the Company of their securities in Spring.me. This is the "Spring.me Offer". As announced on 29 April 2014, the Company has conditionally agreed to acquire 100% of the issued share capital and performance stock rights of Spring.me from the Spring.me Shareholders.

This Prospectus contains detailed information about GRP, Spring.me, the Public Offer, the Spring.me Offer, the Merger and associated transactions, as well as the risks of investing in the Company, and I encourage you to read it carefully.

On behalf of the board of GRP, I commend this investment opportunity to you and look forward to welcoming you as a fellow shareholder of the Company.

Yours sincerely

Mark Rowbottam Non-Executive Chairman

B. Business Model
How will theMergedGroupgenerateincome? The Merged Group will most likely not generateanyincomeinthe24monthsfollowingcompletion of the Merger.It is expected that once the Merged Group hasachieved approximately 15 million regular weband mobileVisitors,itwillstartgeneratingrevenue from online advertising and premiumservices. Section 8.1
What are thekey businessstrategies ofthe MergedGroup? The Merged Group's key business strategies willbe to:•grow the number of Visitors over timeand to convert them into Members;•to grow the Spring.me social medianetwork of websites and apps;•launch additional apps or websites; and•pursue strategic acquisitions that assistthe group in achieving its goals. Section 8.1
What are thekeydependenciesof the MergedGroup'sbusinessmodel The key factors that the Merged Group willdepend on to meet its objectives are:•Spring.me's social network of websites andapps continues to grow organically in Visitornumbers and Member engagement;•Spring.me is able to continue to launch,manage or buy databases, websites andapps that grow Spring.me's Member base,Visitors and engagement through existingand new channels to market; and•Spring.me is able to monetise the socialnetwork of websites and apps when itachieves critical mass through advertisingand paid premium services. Section 8.2
C.Key Risks
What are thekey risks of aninvestment inGRP Consumers: Spring.me's business model is builtaround attracting, retaining, and increasing theengagement levels of Users and Members on itsplatforms.WhilethenumberandlevelofSpring.me's Visitors has risen since the date the Section 9
Item Summary Furtherinformation
platform was launched (in July 2013 in beta), ifSpring.me was unable to sustain this trend, forwhatever reason, the Merged Group's businesswould likely be severely affected. There can beno guarantee that new or existing Users willcontinue to interact with the product in thesame way and that the Merged Group will notexperience an erosion of its active User base.
A range of factors may impact User growth,retention and engagement including, but notlimitedtoissuessurroundingproductdevelopment and popularity of new features,experience of the platform across multipleweb, mobile and other channels, the numberandplacementofadvertisements,publicrelations and branding issues, public and Userconcerns related to privacy, data sharing,safety and security, the nature and interest incontentthatUsersgenerateandthatSpring.me's algorithms promote, the timely anduninterrupteddeliveryofservicesandinformation technology systems that underpinthem, the quality of customer service Usersreceive and the broader economic, social andregulatoryenvironmentinwhichSpring.meoperates.
Decline in Internet, Social Media or MobileUsage: The Internet, social media and mobileplatforms (like Apple's iOS or Google's Android)are subject to factors that are outside thecontrol of the Merged Group. These factorsinclude the general market outlook for Internet,social media and mobile usage. If growth inany of these markets slows down, or if thesemarkets contract, the Merged Group may beunable to meet its business objectives.
Valuation: Spring.me has been careful not toissue specific forecasts of its future valuations.WhileSpring.measpirestoachievefuturevaluationscomparablewithotherleadingsocial media companies, and has intentionsand plans that it believes are consistent withpursuing that aim, there can be no guaranteethat the number of Spring.me's Visitors or activeMembers,therevenuederivedfromeachVisitor or Member, or the value placed on eachof its Visitors or Members will approach thedesired levels.If Spring.me is unable to reach a critical mass of

Business Model Focussing in Growing MarketShare:Aswithmanyothersocialmedianetworks in their early stages of development,Spring.me's business plan is initially targeted atgrowing market share and Users, rather thanrevenue or profitability. Only once Spring.mehas achieved critical mass will it shift focus toraising revenue and later profits. This strategyrequiressignificantcapitaloutlaysonmarketing, product and business developmentin the initial stages and involves the risk that, ifitsgrowthormonetizationisunsuccessful,contributors may not recover their investment.
Capital and Funding Requirements: Given itsinitial focus on growing market share, Spring.mehas negative operating cashflow. In fact, itdoes not currently have any revenue. It isintended that the Public Offer will provide for itsexpenses in the immediate term. However,dependingonhowsuccessfullySpring.metimesandexecutesitmonetizationanddepending on the opportunities that arise forbusiness development, Spring.me may requirefurther resources to achieve its aims goingforward. Beyond its regular operating expenses,additionalfundingmayalsobedeemednecessary to take advantage of acquisition,promotional or other business opportunities.These funds may come in the form of furtherinvestments or loans.
While Spring.me believes that it represents anexciting and attractive investment opportunity,it may not be able to secure funding onacceptable terms. Its ability to raise furthercapital and the terms on which it does so maydepend on macro-economic conditions, theperformance of Spring.me and of the broadersocial media industry at the time, and the risksassociated with the intended use of the funds.If Spring.me is unable to access these funds, oris unable to do so on acceptable terms, this
Item Summary Furtherinformation
could adversely affect Spring.me's position.Competition: Spring.me's market position andcustomer relationships may be affected bycompetitors.Thereisrealandsignificantcompetition in the social networking market.AlthoughSpring.mewillundertakeallreasonableduediligenceinitsbusinessdecisionsandoperations,itwillhavenoinfluenceorcontrolovertheactivitiesoractions of its competitors, which activities oractions may, positively or negatively, affect theoperating and financial performance of theprojects and business of the Merged Group.Spring.mebelievesthatitprovidesanengaging and differentiated offering and thatithasacompetitiveplanforgrowth.Nevertheless, there are a number of othersocial media companies that offer broadlysimilar services to Spring.me. There is also thepotential for the size and character of thatcompetitiontochange.Spring.mewillbecompeting against these companies for Users,Members and revenue. If it is unsuccessful indoing so, there will likely be a real material

6. TRANSACTION OVERVIEW

6.1 The Spring.me Acquisition

On 29 April 2014, GRP announced it had agreed to acquire the entire issued share capital and performance stock rights of unlisted USA public company, Helpa Inc. owner of the Spring.me social media network of websites and apps, which holds a technology portfolio consisting of its various intellectual property interests pertaining to websites, apps, software and domains.

The Spring.me Acquisition is proposed to be effected by means of an all scrip offer by the Company to acquire all of Spring.me's fully paid ordinary shares (Spring.me Shares) and performance stock rights (Spring.me Performance Stock Rights) on the basis of 2.72 New Shares for every 1 Spring.me Share held (on a post-Consolidation basis, as defined below), 2.72 First Performance Stock Rights for each First Spring.me Performance Stock Right held and 2.72 Second Performance Stock Rights for each Second Spring.me Performance Stock Right held (Spring.me Offer). This equates to a total consideration of $20 million.

Refer to Section 14.1 for a summary of the Heads of Agreement between the Company and Spring.me in respect of the Spring.me Acquisition (HOA). Separate offers under the HoA have already been made by the Company to each Spring.me Shareholder and Spring.me Rightholder and have been accepted by 100% of Spring.me Shareholders and Spring.me Rightholders.

The valuation and number of New Shares and Performance Stock Rights to be issued in consideration for the acquisition of Spring.me was determined through arm's length negotiations between the existing Directors of the Company at the date of this Prospectus and the Spring.me Board. In determining the purchase price for Spring.me, the existing Directors of the Company at the date of this Prospectus took into account the following considerations:

  • (a) the last prices at which Spring.me raised equity funding from third party investors;
  • (b) Spring.me's future prospects based on the status of its technology portfolio and interest from third parties; and
  • (c) representations from the Spring.me Board as to the price at which an offer for Spring.me would be likely to succeed.

As with the acquisition of any business or asset that does not have a meaningful track record of revenue and profitability, there is not always a good valuation methodology available when determining the purchase price and the existing Directors were required to take into account qualitative factors such as those set out above in coming to a decision on price.

No formal valuation process in respect of Spring.me was undertaken through the engagement of independent advisers.

Completion of the Spring.me Offer is subject to a number of conditions, including the following which may only be waived by the party in favour of whom the condition is given or by both parties by mutual agreement:

(a) Spring.me Shareholders holding at least 90% of the Spring.me Shares accepting the Spring.me Offer;

  • (b) Shareholders having approved all of the Essential Resolutions at the 2013 Annual General Meeting of GRP to be held on 22 October 2014, including the significant change in the nature and scale of GRP's activities that will result from the completion of the Spring.me Offer – see Section 6.3 below for further details;
  • (c) satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the HOA;
  • (d) the Public Offer under this Prospectus having closed and GRP having received Valid Applications of no less than $3.0 million under the Public Offer; and
  • (e) GRP having received written confirmation from ASX that GRP will be readmitted to the Official List and that suspension of GRP Shares from Official Quotation will be lifted (subject to such conditions as may be prescribed by ASX, if any) – see Section 6.2 below for further details.

Refer to Section 7.2 of this Prospectus for further details of the conditions attaching to the Spring.me Acquisition and to Section 14.1 for further details of the conditions precedent contained in the HOA.

6.2 Suspension and Re-admission to ASX

As GRP is currently a diversified financials company, the merger with Spring.me, if successfully completed, will represent a significant change in the nature and scale of GRP's operations to a social media company.

ASX has indicated that this change in the nature and scale of GRP's activities will require:

  • (a) the approval of Shareholders; and
  • (b) the Company to re-comply with the admission requirements set out in Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.

GRP's Shares are currently suspended and will remain suspended if Shareholder approval to the change in nature and scale of GRP's activities as a result of the Transaction is obtained during the 2013 Annual General Meeting, along with the passing of each other Essential Resolution (see Section 6.3 below for further details). GRP's Shares will not be reinstated to Official Quotation until GRP has recomplied with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules and is re-admitted by ASX to the Official List.

Some of the key requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules are:

  • (a) the Company must satisfy the shareholder spread requirements relating to the minimum number of Shareholders and the minimum value of the Shareholdings of those Shareholders;
  • (b) the Company must satisfy the "assets test" as set out in Listing Rule 1.3; and
  • (c) the issue price of Shares must be at least 20 cents and the exercise price of Options must be at least 20 cents.

It is expected that the conduct of the Public Offer pursuant to this Prospectus and the implementation of a 1:5 consolidation of all Shares immediately after the 2013 Annual General Meeting (subject to applicable Shareholder approval – see Section 6.3 below) will enable the Company to satisfy the above requirements.

Applicants should be aware that ASX will not re-admit or admit any New Shares to Official Quotation until GRP re-complies with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules and is re-admitted by ASX to the Official List.

In the event that GRP does not receive conditional approval for re-admission to the Official List, the Spring.me Offer will be withdrawn and GRP will not proceed with the Public Offer and will repay all Application monies received by it in connection with this Prospectus (without interest).

If Shareholder approval to the change in nature and scale of GRP's activities is not obtained, GRP's Shares will remain suspended from trading.

6.3 Shareholder Approval of Essential Resolutions

GRP intends to convene its 2013 Annual General Meeting on 22 October 2014 for the purpose of, among other purposes, seeking the approval by Shareholders to a number of Resolutions required to implement the Transaction.

It is a condition of completion of the Offers under this Prospectus, as well as the Spring.me Acquisition, that each of the following Resolutions is approved by Shareholders:

  • (a) the significant change of the nature and scale of GRP's activities as a result of the successful completion of the Spring.me Acquisition;
  • (b) the issue of up to 30 million New Shares pursuant to the Public Offer;
  • (c) the issue of up to 60 million New Shares, 20 million First Performance Stock Rights and 20 million Second Performance Stock Rights to Spring.me Shareholders as consideration for the acquisition by GRP of their securities in Spring.me;
  • (d) the issue of a new class of share capital in GRP, being the First Performance Stock Rights and the Second Performance Stock Rights;
  • (e) the issue of up to 6,000,000 Shares to facilitators of the Spring.me Acquisition;
  • (f) the consolidation of all existing GRP Shares on a 5 to 1 basis (with fractional entitlements rounded down to the nearest whole number) after the 2013 Annual General Meeting in accordance with the ASXprescribed timetable; and
  • (g) the appointment of each of Ari Klinger, Colin Fabig and Roger Harley of Spring.me to the Board,

(each, an Essential Resolution).

If any of the Essential Resolutions are not approved by Shareholders, all of the Resolutions (including all Essential Resolutions) will fail and the Transaction (including the Offers under this Prospectus – see Section 7.2 below for further details) will not be completed.

6.4 Change of Name

It is proposed that the Company will change its name to 'Spring Networks Limited' on completion on the Spring.me Acquisition, which in GRP's opinion will be better suited to the Company's new direction. An overview of the Company's business model after successful completion of the Transaction is set out in Section 8.1.

7. DETAILS OF THE OFFERS

7.1 Offers

  • 3 Such amount includes, but is not limited, to amounts allocated to salaries, management consultancy fees, rent and other general overheads.
  • 4 Although it is the present intention of the Company that future acquisitions by the Company will primarily be funded by the issue of Securities in the Company, the funds allocated to working capital in the table above may be used for such acquisitions.

In the event the Company raises more than the minimum subscription of $3,000,000 but less than the full subscription of $5,000,000, the additional funds raised are intended to be first applied towards expenses of the Offers, then to technology and product development, then to marketing and lastly toward operating expenses and working capital of the Company.

In the event the Company raises more than the full subscription of $5,000,000 but less than full oversubscriptions of $6,000,000, the additional funds raised are intended to be first applied towards expenses of the Offer, then towards marketing, then to technology and product development and lastly toward operating expenses and working capital of the Company.

The above table is a statement of current intentions as of the date of lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC. As with any budget, intervening events and new circumstances have the potential to affect the ultimate way funds will be applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way funds are applied on this basis.

Actual expenditure may differ significantly from the above estimates due to a change in market conditions, the development of new opportunities and other factors (including the risk factors outlined in Section 9).

7.5 Taxation

The acquisition and disposal of Securities will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor.

It is not possible to provide a comprehensive summary of the possible taxation positions of all potential applicants. As such, all potential investors in GRP are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring Securities from a taxation viewpoint and generally.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, GRP, its officers and each of their respective advisors accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of subscribing for Securities under this Prospectus.

7.6 Applications

Applications for Securities under the Offers must be made using the relevant Application Form. A personalised Application Form in relation to the Spring.me Offer will be issued to each Spring.me Shareholder together with a copy of this Prospectus.

7.7 Issue of Securities and Allocation Policy

7.7.1 General

Subject to the Minimum Subscription being achieved and the satisfaction of each of the conditions to the Offers (see Section 7.2), the issue of Securities offered by this Prospectus will take place as soon as practicable after the Closing Date.

7.7.2 Public Offer

The allocation of New Shares under the Public Offer will be determined by the Board in consultation with DJ Carmichael Pty Limited and BBY Limited as Joint Lead Managers to the Public Offer and the Proposed Directors, and otherwise in its absolute discretion.

There is no guaranteed allocation of New Shares under the Public Offer.

The Board intends to give preference to Spring.me Shareholders (particularly those who would hold an unmarketable parcel of New Shares as a result of the Spring.me Offer) and existing GRP Shareholders in the allocation of New Shares under the Public Offer, on an equitable basis as between themselves and subject to the requirements of institutional investors and the ASX's minimum Shareholder spread requirement (see Section 6.2).

The Board, in consultation with DJ Carmichael Pty Limited and BBY Limited and the Proposed Directors, reserves the right to reject any Application or to allocate any Applicant fewer Shares than the number applied for. 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 interest) to the Applicant as soon as practicable after the Closing Date.

The Company's decision on the number of New Shares to be allocated to an Applicant will be final.

7.7.3 Spring.me Offer

The Spring.me Offer is a specific offer made to Spring.me Shareholders. As such, Securities offered under the Spring.me Offer will be allocated and issued to those Spring.me Shareholders (or their respective nominees) only.

Subject to receiving necessary Shareholder approvals for the issue of Securities under the Spring.me Offer, as well as the Essential Resolutions at the 2013 Annual General Meeting, allocations under the Spring.me Offer to Spring.me Shareholders (or their respective nominees) are guaranteed.

7.7.4 Defects in Applications

If an Application Form is not completed correctly or if the accompanying payment is the wrong amount, the Company may, in its discretion, still treat the Application Form to be valid. The Company's decision to treat an Application as valid, or how to construe, amend or complete it, will be final.

7.7.5 Interest

Pending the issue of the Securities or payment of refunds pursuant to this Prospectus, all application monies will be held by GRP in trust for Applicants in a separate bank account as required by the Corporations Act. GRP, however, will be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on the bank account and each Applicant waives the right to claim interest.

7.8 Quotation of Securities

GRP will apply for Official Quotation of all New Shares issued under this Prospectus within 7 days after the date of this Prospectus. However, Applicants should be aware that ASX will not commence Official Quotation of any Shares until GRP has re-complied with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules and has received the approval of ASX to be re-admitted to the Official List (see Section 6.2). As such, the New Shares may not be able to be traded for some time after the close of the Offers.

If the New Shares are not admitted to Official Quotation by ASX before the expiration of 3 months after the date of this Prospectus, or such period as varied by the ASIC, or if ASX otherwise rejects GRP's application for re-admission to the Official List (see Section 6.2), GRP will not issue any Securities and will repay all Application monies for the New Shares within the time prescribed under the Corporations Act, without interest. In those circumstances, the Spring.me Offer will be withdrawn and GRP will not proceed with the Transaction.

The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation to the New Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of GRP or the Securities now offered for subscription.

The Company will not apply for Official Quotation of the Performance Stock Rights offered under the Spring.me Offer.

7.9 Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System and Issuer Sponsorship

GRP participates in the Clearing House Electronic Sub-register System (CHESS). ASX Settlement Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX, operates CHESS. Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by GRP.

Electronic sub-registers mean that GRP will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with holding statements (similar to a bank account statement) that set out the number of Securities issued to them under this Prospectus. The holding statements will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number (if the holder is broker sponsored) or Security Holder Reference Number (if the holder is issuer sponsored) and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.

Electronic sub-registers also mean ownership of Securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation. Further, monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in GRP during the preceding month. Securityholders may request a holding statement at any other time, however a charge may be made for such additional statements.

7.10 Applicants outside Australia

This Prospectus does not, and is not intended to, constitute an offer of, or invitation to apply for, Securities in any place or jurisdiction, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or invitation. The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Singapore and Hong Kong may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus should seek advice on and observe any of these 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 or otherwise permit a public offering of the Securities the subject of this Prospectus in any jurisdiction outside Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Singapore and Hong Kong. Applicants who are resident in countries other than Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Singapore or Hong Kong should consult their professional advisers as to whether any governmental or other consents are required or whether any other formalities need to be considered and followed in order to accept any of the Offers.

If you are outside Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Singapore or Hong Kong, it is your responsibility to ensure compliance with all laws of any country relevant to, and obtain all necessary approvals for, the issue of the Securities pursuant to this Prospectus. The return of a completed Application Form will be taken by GRP to constitute a representation and warranty by you that there has been no breach of any such laws and all relevant approvals have been obtained.

Where this Prospectus has been dispatched to persons in jurisdictions outside of Australia, in which the securities legislation or regulation requires registration or any analogous treatment, this Prospectus is provided for information purposes only. This Prospectus has not been and will not be registered under any such legislation or regulation or in any such jurisdiction.

The Offers do not and will not constitute an offer of Securities in the United States of America (US). Furthermore, no person ordinarily resident in the US is or will become permitted to submit an Application Form. If the Company believes that any Applicant is ordinarily resident in the US, or is acting on behalf of a person or entity that is ordinarily a resident of the US, the Company will reject that applicant's application.

7.10.1 New Zealand

The Offers to New Zealand investors is a regulated offer made under Australian and New Zealand law. In Australia, this is Chapter 8 of the Corporations Act 2001 and Regulations. In New Zealand, this is Part 5 of the Securities Act 1978 and the Securities (Mutual Recognition of Securities Offerings—Australia) Regulations 2008.

The Offers and the content of this Prospectus are principally governed by Australian rather than New Zealand law. In the main, the Corporations Act 2001 and Regulations (Australia) set out how the Offers must be made.

There are differences in how securities are regulated under Australian law. For example, the disclosure of fees for collective investment schemes is different under the Australian regime.

The rights, remedies, and compensation arrangements available to New Zealand investors in Australian securities may differ from the rights, remedies, and compensation arrangements for New Zealand securities.

Both the Australian and New Zealand securities regulators have enforcement responsibilities in relation to these Offers. If you need to make a complaint about an Offer, please contact the Financial Markets Authority, Wellington, New Zealand. The Australian and New Zealand regulators will work together to settle your complaint.

The taxation treatment of Australian securities is not the same as for New Zealand securities.

If you are uncertain about whether this investment is appropriate for you, you should seek the advice of an appropriately qualified financial adviser.

The Offers may involve a currency exchange risk. The currency for the securities is not New Zealand dollars. The value of the securities will go up or down according to changes in the exchange rate between that currency and New Zealand dollars. These changes may be significant.

If you expect the securities to pay any amounts in a currency that is not New Zealand dollars, you may incur significant fees in having the funds credited to a bank account in New Zealand in New Zealand dollars.

If the securities are able to be traded on a securities market and you wish to trade the securities through that market, you will have to make arrangements for a participant in that market to sell the securities on your behalf. If the securities market does not operate in New Zealand, the way in which the market operates, the regulation of participants in that market, and the information available to you about the securities and trading may differ from securities markets that operate in New Zealand.

7.10.2 Germany

The information in this Prospectus has been prepared on the basis that all offers of Securities will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Directive 2003/71/EC (Prospectus Directive), as amended and implemented in Germany, from the requirement to produce a prospectus for offers of securities.

An offer to the public of Securities has not been made, and may not be made, in Germany except pursuant to one of the following exemptions under the Prospectus Directive as implemented in Germany:

  • to any legal entity that is authorized or regulated to operate in the financial markets or whose main business is to invest in financial instruments;
  • to any legal entity that satisfies two of the following three criteria: (i) balance sheet total of at least €20,000,000; (ii) annual net turnover of at least €40,000,000 and (iii) own funds of at least €2,000,000 (as shown on its last annual unconsolidated or consolidated financial statements);
  • to any person or entity who has requested to be treated as a professional client in accordance with the EU Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (Directive 2004/39/EC, "MiFID"); or
  • to any person or entity who is recognised as an eligible counterparty in accordance with Article 24 of the MiFID.

8. COMPANY OVERVIEWS – ASSETS, FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE

8.1 Business Overview

8.1.1 GRP Corporation Limited

This Section 8.1.1 contains a summary of GRP's activities. Further information can be found on GRP's website, http://www.grpcorporation.com.au.

GRP was admitted to the Official List of the ASX on 19 March 2003 under the name Greater Pacific Capital limited. GRP was primarily a diversified financials company but currently holds no assets other than rights and loans in respect of Spring.me (refer to Section 10 for further details of the material contracts between the Company and Spring.me).

For the past twelve months, GRP has been evaluating alternative corporate opportunities, both in Australia and overseas, which have the potential to deliver strong future growth for Shareholders. This is consistent with the Spring.me Offer being made by GRP. An overview of the Spring.me Acquisition is set out in Section 6.1 above.

Following completion of the Spring.me Acquisition (and assuming 100% of the Spring.me Shareholders accept the Spring.me Offer), the Company will have a group corporate structure as follows:

8.1.2 Helpa Inc. (Spring.me)

Helpa Inc. was incorporated in December 2012 by Ari Klinger and Colin Fabig with the formal launch of the Spring.me social network occurring in September 2013.

Helpa Inc. is an unlisted public company registered in the United States of America which holds intellectual property assets, domains and an operational business underpinning its social network platform Spring.me. Helpa Inc.'s vision is to become a leading social media network of websites and mobile applications for making friends. Helpa Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary Helpa Research Inc, owns the domain name "www.spring.me". As at September 2014, the Spring.me network had in excess of 5 million Visitors per month, which has been continuing to grow, comprising a large global audience predominately in the 16-35 year age demographic. Spring.me has a strong board and management team with specialist industry expertise.

The Spring.me network is a question and answer (Q&A) based social network of websites and mobile applications with over five million Visits per month focused on making new friends. Through the Spring.me platform, Members from around the world can share ideas, thoughts, perspectives and opinions with friends, followers or other Spring.me Members and in due course make new friends. Sponsors, advertisers and experts will have the opportunity to leverage the network and connect with potential customers based on their interests, actions or purchase intent.

8.1.3 Helpa Inc. (Spring.me) Subsidiaries

As set out in the corporate structure above, Helpa Inc. has three subsidiaries – Helpa Services Inc. which is responsible for Spring.me's operations in the United States of America (USA) and for receiving any revenue generated by Spring.me in the USA; Helpa Research Inc. which holds all of Spring.me's patents, IP developments and trademarks developed to 30 September 2013; and Helpa Services Australia Pty Ltd which manages the research and development of Spring.me and any risk of such research and development from 1 October 2013 and also is responsible for the day to day administration of Spring.me.

8.1.4 Spring.me

www.spring.me is the company's flagship website, where Members can "meet people like you through social Q&A". It is an anonymous social network where people share questions and opinions publicly, in a friendly online environment with other likeminded people.

The site is made up of content feeds that are there to help start conversations; the Question Feed, the Answer, Opinions, Photo and People Feeds. These feeds provide an opportunity for any site Member to interact with other Members in an open forum. Feeds have "Latest", "Popular" and other filters to better find relevant content and people.

Members can express their personality by creating custom usernames and customising their own profiles with photos, backgrounds and other personalised information. Like Twitter they can "follow" other Members' content and gather "followers" who follow their content postings. In addition, they can use animated gifs and a meme creation tool to make it more interesting.

Most content is public, so that all Members can jump into conversations and have an open discussion, but there are anonymous or private messaging features as well. For example, Members can message up to 10 random people to answer a private question sent anonymously. This allows for honest and edgy feedback for the adventurous, curious 16-35 year old demographic. There are sharing options for posts, questions, photos and videos with other social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. The Smile button on Spring.me is a social networking feature similar to Facebook's Like button, but aimed to generate a much friendlier feeling about the site. It allows Members to express and share their appreciation of content such as comments, photos and questions.

8.1.5 Spring.me Team

Spring.me is led by a team of successful, serial internet entrepreneurs, being cofounded by Colin Fabig and Ari Klinger. Together Ari and Colin have been involved in numerous ventures that achieved real scale and have had multiple successful exits.

Ari Klinger has extensive experience in starting, building and selling internetrelated businesses having co-founded, with Colin Fabig, iMega, an online media network that achieved over 30 million visitors a month. iMega was sold to an ASX listed marketing services group in 2006. In 2008, Ari co-founded, and was CEO of Online Marketing Group, which quickly grew to become Australia's largest networks of websites and owner of premium domain names. Online Marketing Group was acquired by Fairfax Media in 2010. Ari is also a co-founder of investment firm Right Click Capital, which has a portfolio of technology based businesses and a co-founder of the Sydney Seed Fund an early stage technology investment fund.

Colin Fabig has been involved in technology related start-ups from 1993, and started and successfully exited two start-ups in South Africa before moving to Australia in 1999. Colin joined Ari Klinger as a co-founder at iMega in 2003. In 2010, Colin was the founder and executive chairman of a web start-up called Jump On It, later known as Living Social Australia. Within the first 24 months, this business grew to a staff of 250, a consumer base of 2 million Australian email subscribers and achieved a run rate of ~$100 million in annual billings. The business was successfully exited to the USA based Living Social in 2012.

Spring.me will look at opportunities to expand its team locally and offshore. The Spring.me team work with offshore developers and team members to complement the local team and to increase speed to market.

On completion of the Spring.me Acquisition, Roger Harley will join the board of the Merged Group as a non-executive director. He is a founder of Melbourne based corporate advisory firm, Fawkner Capital. Roger's engagement in the ecosystem of high growth emerging companies traverses roles as investor, adviser on equity raising and exits, director and Government delegate. Refer to Section 10.1 for further details on Roger.

8.1.6 Company Vision and Opportunity

Spring.me aims to become a leader in the high growth social media industry.

Social media is the number one internet activity, measured by time spent online with people reportedly spending more time on social media than on email, online video or online games. The number of social media users is continuing to grow, with a forecast of 2.3 billion users globally by 2017. As a result, advertising spend on digital media has been forecast to expand rapidly by 48% from $109 billion in 2014 to $159 billion in 2018.

Social networks are gaining traction and building highly valuable online communities around the world. For example, Facebook has a market valuation of ~$190 billion; Twitter ~$30 billion, LinkedIn ~$24 billion, SnapChat and Pinterest more than $3 billion and ~$5 billion respectively.

As occurred in the traditional media space, social media is fragmenting as specialised players emerge based on demographics, interests and use case. Facebook is used for keeping up with family and friends; LinkedIn is the same for business; Instagram has a strong photo sharing community; YouTube is for video sharing; SnapChat is for photo and video messaging; and Pinterest is a digital pinboard. Dating sites and apps like Match.com, Tinder and Eharmony are essentially social media for dating.

Spring.me believes there is a large global market for a social media network targeted at making new friends by simply creating friendships based on a common interest-based Q&A format. Friendships at Spring.me begin with questions, smiles and finding common ground with Members starting conversations by posing and answering questions to individuals or groups, anonymously or as themselves. Members can also participate in discussions and post photos to find likeminded Members who smile, respond and follow them. Spring.me increasingly uses advanced matching algorithms to suggest, introduce and connect Members to increase the likelihood of a friendship resulting.

As part of the growth of the network, Spring.me is committed to building a safe online community. It has launched a number of initiatives such as age-based content filters, community content rating systems and algorithms to help create a safer, more fun and friendly environment.

8.1.7 Spring.me Business Model - Monetisation: Advertising as-a-Service

Once Spring.me has achieved approximately 15 million regular web and mobile Visitors it intends to implement its monetisation strategy, aimed at generating revenue from online advertising and premium services. In the opinion of the Spring.me board, this is a proven approach, modelled off successful social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Pinterest. In addition to traditional social media advertising and premium services, Spring.me intends to enhance the current social media revenue model with its "Advertising as-a-Service" offering.

Understanding the purchase intent of potential customers is a major contributor to successful advertising, allowing more targeted and relevant offerings, generally resulting in higher conversions. Advertisers are willing to pay a significant premium to access potential customers where purchasing intent is understood, with Google AdWords using the keywords entered into their search engine by the users as an indicator of the specific area of interest, providing them over 12 x average revenue per user (ARPU) when compared to Twitter, where little is known about their members' purchase intent.

By designing a social platform built around "question and answer" interaction, Spring.me has an excellent insight into Members' tastes and preferences and will have the ability to interact with and lead Members through the purchasing cycle, known as Advertising-as-a-Service. Allowing advertisers to provide deals to Members who specifically opt-in to receive this advertising, only for what they are looking to purchase, has, in the opinion of the Spring.me board, the potential to significantly increase the expected ARPU for Spring.me. As Advertising-as-a-Service only works at scale, Spring.me is focussed for the next two years on building a critical mass of regular Members to their sites and apps, before introducing this new highly leveraged model.

8.1.8 Spring.me Business Model - Acquisitive Growth

In addition to traditional organic growth and after acquiring the assets of the former website formspring.com and leveraging that database to launch Spring.me, Spring.me intends to grow acquisitively, seeking both databases and bolt-on companies that will bring enhanced distribution, strategic revenue, technology and/or talent. This is a well trodden path in social media history. Mark Zuckerberg "acquired" the Harvard student database to start his Hot or Not service that pivoted into Facebook. Facebook has since completed forty-nine acquisitions to date. Twitter has engaged in thirty-eight.

8.2 Key Dependencies of the Merged Group's Business Model

The key factors that the Merged Group will depend on to meet its objectives under its business model are:

  • the continued availability and commitment of its Board, key management and the offshore team, especially their ability to attract talent to the team, build new features, acquire more Members and increase User engagement;
  • consumers will continue to regularly use social media, and specifically will enjoy using and sharing the Merged Group's websites and apps;
  • Members will take up premium services offered by the Merged Group;
  • advertisers will take up the Merged Group's "Advertising As A Service" model;
  • consumers will continue to use the websites and apps from the Merged Group once premium services and advertising are introduced;
  • the success of marketing, PR and growth campaigns; and
  • the success of the Merged Group to complete acquisitions, investments, partnerships and joint ventures with other companies, including acquiring additional databases.

8.3 Financial Information

8.3.1 Historical financial information

The Investigating Accountant's Report contained in Section 11 of this Prospectus sets out:

  • the audited Statement of Financial Position of GRP as at 30 June 2014;
  • the audited Statement of Financial Position of Spring.me as at 30 June 2014; and
  • the reviewed pro-forma Statement Financial Position of the Merged Group (after completion of the Transaction) as at 30 June 2014.

The financial statements for Spring.me for its financial year ended 30 June 2014, which include the notes to the financial statements, can be accessed from www.grpcorproation.com.au.

8.3.2 No 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 GRP and Spring.me are inherently uncertain. 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.

8.4 Funding

The funding for GRP's short to medium term activities will be generated from the offer of New Shares pursuant to the Public Offer under this Prospectus (see Section 7.4). As and when further funds are required, GRP expects to raise additional capital from the issue of securities.

8.5 Dividend Policy

It is anticipated that, post-completion of the Transaction, the Merged Group will focus on the marketing and development of the Spring.me social media network. GRP does not expect to declare any dividends during this period.

Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by GRP will be at the discretion of the Board and will depend on the availability of distributable earnings and operating results and financial condition of GRP, future capital requirements and general business and other factors considered relevant by the Board. No assurance in relation to the payment of dividends or franking credits attaching to dividends can be given by GRP.

9. RISK FACTORS

9.1 Introduction

The Securities offered under this Prospectus are considered highly speculative. An investment in GRP 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, before deciding whether to apply for Securities and to consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

This Section identifies circumstances that the Directors regard as the major risks associated with an investment in GRP and which may have a material adverse impact on the financial performance of GRP and the market price of the Shares if they were to arise.

  • The business, assets and operations of Spring.me are subject to certain risk factors that have the potential to influence the operating and financial performance of the Company in the future, if the Transaction is successfully completed (Section 9.1.1).
  • There are also additional risks associated with the contemplated Transaction, specifically in relation to the Merged Group, which may adversely impact the value of an investment in the securities of GRP (Section 9.1.1).
  • In addition, there are other general investment risks, many of which are largely beyond the control of GRP and its directors (Section 9.1.2).

The Board aims, and will aim, to manage these risks by carefully planning the Company's activities and implementing risk control measures. However, some of the risks identified below are highly unpredictable and the Company is limited to the extent to which they can effectively manage them.

The following risk factors are not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which GRP is exposed. In addition, this Section has been prepared without taking into account offerees' individual financial objectives, financial situation and particular needs. Offerees should seek professional investment advice if they have any queries in relation to making an investment in GRP.

9.1.1 Risks in respect of Spring.me's current operations

(a) Operations and Management of Potential Growth

Spring.me believes that it has attracted a highly skilled and experienced management team. However, the Spring.me network is a complex and dynamic business. It is a high growth start up, working in a fast moving environment, engaged in business with multiple partners and operating in numerous geographies around the world. Navigating these issues while effectively dealing with prioritization, timing, execution, cost control, and other business decisions is likely to provide real challenges for its small management team.

There can be no guarantee that successful execution of Spring.me's strategy will make it profitable or commercially viable. Current product development and marketing strategies may not have the intended effect of increasing new Users. Similarly, strategies to create value from Users of the application may not yield the expected revenue.

(b) Product Development

Spring.me believes that it provides a meaningful and engaging offering. Moreover, in addition to its current web platform, Spring.me is planning to release a new and updated mobile app later this year. However, there can be no guarantee that Spring.me's platforms and features will continue to be relevant, or that its future updates will continue to promote User growth and engagement. There is also the risk that delays in product development, cost overruns, or difficulties in delivering new features will negatively impact the Company and its business.

(c) Maintenance of Reputation and Brand

Spring.me is seeking to be a mass social network. Usage and engagement levels of such networks have the potential to be significantly affected by popular consumer sentiment. As such, Spring.me's exposure to public relations issues and threats to its reputation and brand name may be greater than for other businesses. This may be especially the case given that, up to this point, Spring.me has primarily relied on organic and 'word-of-mouth' growth, as opposed to external paid marketing.

Moreover, Spring.me's platforms facilitate User-generated content. While Spring.me has instituted a number of moderation systems and processes, there is nevertheless a risk that the nature of some specific User generated content, or the activities of particular Users on the network, may cause damage to Spring.me's reputation and brand name and therefore have a negative impact on its growth and profitability. This may include being blocked by web browsers, app stores or security software, which would have a detrimental effect to the Spring.me business.

(d) Ability to Attract and Retain Skilled Personnel

Spring.me's success depends, to a large extent, on its ability to attract and retain appropriately skilled personnel. Spring.me is currently operated and managed by a small group of select team members. The departure, either temporary or permanent, of those key staff, or any delay in their replacement, could adversely affect Spring.me's performance. Similarly, as a start up seeking to grow and expand, Spring.me's success in securing new talent will be critical going forward and may be constrained for a number of reasons. The attraction and retention of key staff is determined by a broad range of internal and external factors, some more or less within Spring.me's control, including, but not limited to, issues concerning: personal or health issues, company performance, public relations and branding, logistics and timing, the availability of IT staff in the market and macro-economic factors.

Additionally, Spring.me relies on offshore team members, some of whom are employed through a single entity. In the event that the offshore team ceased to continue working with Spring.me, this could cause significant disruption to the operations of the business and would require Spring.me to find an alternative team. Finding an alternative team would take time in recruiting and training them on the product and getting them to a professional level where they could assist in running the operations of the Spring.me business and help to execute the Spring.me business plan. This would have a significant impact on the costs of running the Spring.me business and would likely delay Spring.me from achieving its objectives and business plan.

(e) Website Traffic

Spring.me currently gets most of its organic (unpaid) web traffic from a variety of sources including Google, Facebook, Bing, Yahoo and many thousands of other websites. These third parties change algorithms, rules and optimisation processes regularly and this might increase or decrease the free web traffic to Spring.me as they do so and thus could adversely affect the rate of Member growth and engagement on Spring.me's network and subsequently its ability to reach critical mass of regular Members required to become a become a viable ongoing business.

Spring.me furthermore gets another large portion of its traffic through email marketing to its database of Members. Once again, the deliverability of email is subject to many third party players, from internet service providers, email service providers, and other corporate players to government regulators in different countries who may change their rules at anytime. Rule changes by these players can adversely affect the deliverability of messages to and from our membership base, which could have a detrimental effect on Member engagement, the growth of new Members and our ability to reach a critical mass of regular membership to become a viable ongoing business.

(f) Insurance

While Spring.me has sought to be insured in a way that is in keeping with industry practices, there is the risk of an event occurring that is not fully covered by insurance. This may cause significant financial and material loss to Spring.me. Furthermore, there is the risk that Spring.me's insurer fails to respect a legitimate claim made by Spring.me.

(g) Acquisitions and Joint Ventures

Spring.me plans to investigate and consider potential acquisitions and opportunities to enter into new joint venture arrangements that are consistent with its stated growth strategy. The successful implementation of acquisitions will depend on a range of factors including funding arrangements and technical integration. Spring.me may also enter into joint venture relationships in the future.

Subject to the relevant joint ventures, Spring.me cannot control the actions of joint venture partners and therefore cannot guarantee that joint ventures will be operated or managed in accordance with Spring.me's preferred direction, strategy or risk management parameters. To the extent that acquisitions or joint venture arrangements are not successfully integrated with Spring.me's existing business lines, the User growth and financial performance of Spring.me could be affected and, despite the terms of the relevant agreements, it may be impractical to enforce all of Spring.me's rights (particularly if the joint venture operates overseas).

(h) Reliance on Core Information Technology, Other Systems and Security

Spring.me's ability to provide reliable services largely depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of its core technologies, which include specialized and proprietary software systems, its websites and data centres. Its information technology environment is a complex one. It is also dependent on reliable telecommunication and information technology provision by third parties.

Spring.me's core technologies and other systems operations could be exposed to damage or interruption from system failures, computer viruses, cyber attacks, hacking, power or telecommunication provider failures, fire, natural disasters, terrorist acts, war, human error or court ordered injunction in the event of an alleged breach of third party intellectual property rights. Events of that nature may case one or more of those core technologies to become unavailable due to the high level of integration between the disparate software systems that make up Spring.me's information technology environment.

If Spring.me was to experience a significant security breach or systematic failure, then it is likely that its ability to deliver services to its customers could be delayed or interrupted. This in turn may impact its ability to attract and retain Users, generate new business and protect its brand.

(i) Intellectual Property Rights

While Spring.me has systems and procedures in place to protect its content and information, unauthorized use of its intellectual property could have a negative impact on its operations and brand. Given the public nature of much of Spring.me's User generated content, this risk may be greater for Spring.me than for other companies.

Spring.me also operates in a market where claims of infringement of intellectual property are common. There is a risk of third parties making claims of infringement of intellectual property against Spring.me. This could result in significant legal costs and negatively impact operations.

(j) International Expansion

Spring.me's platforms are used in many and varied countries. It may therefore likely be subject to multiple overseas jurisdictions. In each different jurisdiction there may be increased compliance and operating costs. If and when it becomes necessary to have a local presence in overseas markets there will be increased overheads as well as development and marketing costs. There is no guarantee such expansions will be successful and increased costs may adversely impact the profitability and working capital of Spring.me.

(k) Subsidiary and Corporate Governance

Spring.me is a head company with a series of subsidiaries and corporate governance involving (a) a set of companies incorporated in Delaware, USA that currently owns much of Spring.me's key intellectual property and in which its financial statements are booked, and (b) a working company in Australia that actually carries out its daily operations. This arrangement involves a number of risks.

This includes the risk that Spring.me may fail to comply with the complex and differing set of laws and regulations governing each company and their interactions. There is also the risk of future costs in the event that Spring.me deems it preferable to restructure its corporate governance. This may involve moving its intellectual property or operations from the USA to Australia or vice versa. In addition, Spring.me's rights to participate in the distribution of its USA based assets and/or the assets of their subsidiaries in the event of liquidation, reorganisation or insolvency may be subject to prior claims of that entity's creditors.

While Spring.me believes that it operates under a practical and efficient corporate structure, investors are responsible to study the corporate governance and make their own assessment of the risks involved.

(l) Contracts

Spring.me may enter agreements with counterparties. In such cases, there is the risk that counterparties default on their obligations, which may in turn necessitate legal action. This could result in significant financial loss for Spring.me. In some cases, the contracts that Spring.me has entered into may be governed in jurisdictions outside Australia. It may be more difficult to resolve disputes in such jurisdictions than it would be under Australian law. As such, Spring.me cannot ensure that an appropriate legal resolution will be achieved.

9.1.2 General Risks Relating to the Merged Group

(a) Reliance on Key Management

The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Merged Group depends substantially on its senior management and directors. There can be no assurance that there will be no detrimental impact on the performance of the Merged Group or its growth potential if one or more of these employees cease their employment and suitable replacements are not identified and engaged in a timely manner. The Merged Group does not have any present intention to obtain "key person" insurance for any member of its management.

(b) Economic Risks

General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Merged Group's activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.

Further, share market conditions may affect the value of the Company's securities regardless of the Company's operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

  • (i) general economic outlook;
  • (ii) interest rates and inflation rates;
  • (iii) currency fluctuations;
  • (iv) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
  • (v) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
  • (vi) terrorism or other hostilities.

(c) Liquidity

If and when the Merged Group's shares are made open for trading, the market may not be liquid. Prior to the Public Offer the subject of this Prospectus, there has been no public market in the shares of Spring.me. Once the Merged Group's Shares are quoted on the ASX, there can be no guarantee that an active trading market for the Shares will develop or that the price of the Shares will increase. There may be relatively few buyers or sellers of the Shares on ASX at any time. This may increase the volatility of the market price of the Shares. It may also affect the prevailing market price at which Shareholders are able to sell their Shares. This may result in Shareholders receiving a market price for their Shares that is less than the price the Shareholders paid.

(d) Shareholder Dilution

In the future, the Merged Group may elect to issue Shares or engage in fundraisings and also to fund, or raise proceeds, for acquisitions. While the Merged Group will be subject to the constraints of the ASX Listing Rules regarding the percentage of capital that it is able to issue within a 12 month period (other than where exceptions apply), Shareholders may be diluted as a result of such Shares and fundraisings.

(e) Legal Environment and Sovereign Risk

Spring.me currently conducts its operations in Australia. While Australia is a stable and developed legal environment, there are a range of sovereign risks that may adversely affect the performance of the company. These include, but are not limited to: changes to privacy, taxation, accounting, employment, licensing, exchange control or other legislation.

Particularly, over recent years, there has been an increased regulatory and public focus on the use of private information, especially how private information is collected and used for commercial purposes. Any further changes to laws and regulations governing the use of this information could result in an adverse impact on the markets in which Spring.me operates and in its business, including its forecast revenues, profit margins, and compliance costs.

Spring.me's platforms are also used in numerous other countries and will be subject to the local laws and regulations where they apply. Some of the countries in which Spring.me's platforms are used represent emerging markets and/or less stable legal environments. This may involve risks related to the regularity, speed, transparency and expectations surrounding Government action, ease of gaining fair representation in court and clarity and consistency of the legal framework.

Working in changing, complex and multiple regulatory environments involves a set of risks. These include the risk that Spring.me may fail to comply with laws or regulations or that laws or regulations may have unintended consequences or are open to interpretations that increase the risk of non-compliance. In addition, there is a risk that Spring.me may fail to implement procedures within the statutory timeframes to ensure that it can provide services which comply with the introduction of these new laws and regulations.

Any substantial failure by Spring.me to comply with applicable laws and regulations could result in cessation of part or all of its operations, restriction on its ability to carry out operations, fines, penalties or other liabilities to customers, suppliers or third parties. Compliance failure could also damage Spring.me's reputation and reduce the attractiveness of its platforms.

(f) Australian Accounting Standards

Australian Accounting Standards are set by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and are outside the control of either Spring.me or its directors. The AASB is due to introduce new or refined Australian Accounting Standards during the period from 2014 to 2018, which may affect the future measurement and recognition of key income statements and balance sheet items, including revenue and receivables.

There is also a risk that interpretations of existing Australian Accounting Standards, including those in relation to the measurement and recognition of key income statement and balance sheet items, including revenue and receivables, may differ. Changes to Australian Accounting Standards issued by the AASB or changes to the commonly held views on the application of those standards could materially adversely affect the financial performance and position reported in Spring.me's consolidated financial statements over the coming years.

(g) Force Majeure

The Merged Group and its projects, now or in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Merged Group including labour unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, extreme weather conditions, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions.

9.2 This investment is highly speculative

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 risk factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may materially affect the future 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. The Company does not expect to declare any dividends during the first two years following completion of the Transaction (see further Section 8.5).

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

11. INVESTIGATING ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT

20 October 2014

The Directors GRP Corporation Limited Level 1, 981 Wellington Street WEST PERTH WA 6005

Dear Sirs

This report has been prepared at the request of the Directors of GRP Corporation Limited ("GRP" or "the Company"), for inclusion in an Prospectus dated on or around 20 October 2014 ("Prospectus"), relating to the proposed issue of 25,000,000 ordinary shares at an issue price of 20 cents each to raise up to $5,000,000 and a maximum of 30,000,000 ordinary shares to raise up to $6,000,000.

The offer is not underwritten and the minimum subscription level is $3,000,000.

The report has been prepared to provide investors with information on historical results and the financial position of GRP and Helpa Inc., and to provide investors with a pro forma Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of GRP as at 30 June 2014 adjusted to include funds raised by the Prospectus and the completion of the acquisition of Helpa Inc ("the acquisition") and other transactions as referred to in the appendices to this report.

This report does not address the rights attaching to the Shares to be issued in accordance with the Prospectus, the risks associated with the investment, nor form the basis of an Expert's opinion with respect to a valuation of the Company or a valuation of the share issue price of 20 cents per share to the public.

Bentleys has not been requested to consider the prospects for GRP nor the merits and risks associated with becoming a shareholder and accordingly, has not done so, nor purports to do so. Bentleys accordingly takes no responsibility for those matters or for any matter or omission in the Prospectus, other than responsibility for this report. Risk factors are set out in Section 5 and 9 of the Prospectus.

C O N F I D E N T I A L P a g e | 1 of 3

GRP listed on the ASX on 19 March 2003 as a diversified financials company with exposure to the provision and management of finance facilities to various property and infrastructure developments.

GRP (formerly Great Pacific Capital Limited) entered into a Deed of Company Arrangement in August 2010 to settle debts with creditors and emerged from external administration. Since then, it has raised capital to pursue two separate transactions, the first with Cady Energy Pty Ltd, which held rights to the Hanging Woman coal methane project in Wyoming, USA. The second was with European Energy Limited, which held rights to a number of oil and gas projects in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Neither of these transactions was completed. For the past twelve months, GRP has been evaluating alternative corporate opportunities, both in Australia and overseas, which have the potential to deliver strong future growth for Shareholders.

On 29 April 2014, GRP announced its intention to merge with Spring.me, an unlisted public company registered in the United States of America which holds various intellectual property interests pertaining to social media assets and an operating social media network. Spring.me was incorporated in the United States of America as Helpa Inc. in December 2012. For further details of the Company and the proposed acquisitions refer to Section 5 of the Prospectus.

Bentleys has been requested to:

  • (a) report whether anything has come to our attention which would cause us to believe that the historical financial information disclosed in the appendices to this report is not fairly presented in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements (but not the disclosure requirements) of Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia, and the accounting policies adopted by GRP and Helpa Inc., and
  • (b) report whether anything has come to our attention which would cause us to believe that the pro forma financial information disclosed in the appendices to this report is not presented fairly in accordance with the basis of preparation and assumptions set out therein and with the recognition and measurement requirements (but not the disclosure requirements) of Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia, and the accounting policies adopted by GRP and Helpa Inc.

GRP and Helpa Inc. have prepared, and are responsible for the historical and pro forma financial information included in the appendices to this report.

Bentleys has not audited the financial statements of GRP or Helpa Inc. as at 30 June 2014. The audit of GRP's financial statements as at 30 June 2014 has been completed by Hall Chadwick and the audit of Helpa Inc's financial statements as at 30 June 2014 has been completed by Elliot House Partners. We have conducted our review of the historical financial information in accordance with the Standard on Assurance Engagement ASAE 3450 "Assurance Engagements involving Corporate Fundraisings and/or Prospective Financial Information". We made such enquiries and performed such procedures as we, in our professional judgment, considered reasonable in the circumstances, including:

  • (i) enquiry of directors, management and others;
  • (ii) analytical procedures on the historical information;
  • (iii) a review of work papers, accounting records and other documents; and
  • (iv) comparison of consistency in application of the recognition and measurement requirements (but not the disclosure requirements) of Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia, and the accounting policies adopted by GRP and Helpa Inc..

The review procedures were substantially less in scope than an audit examination conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Having regard to the nature of the review, which provides less assurance than an audit, and to the nature of the historical and pro forma financial information, this report does not express an audit opinion on the historical and pro forma financial information included in the appendices to this report.

The principal assets of GRP will be the intellectual property assets, domains and an operational business underpinning the social network platform Spring.me, effected through the merger with Helpa Inc. The assets have been included at cost in the pro forma Statement of Financial Position. We have not performed our own valuation of the assets concerned and we are unable to form a view on whether the carrying value of the assets are fairly stated.

(a) Historical Financial Information

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that the historical financial information, as set out in the appendices of this report is not presented fairly in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements (but not the disclosure requirements) of Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia, and the accounting policies adopted by GRP and Helpa Inc.

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that the pro forma financial information, as set out in the appendices of this report is not presented fairly in accordance with the basis of preparation in the appendices and assumptions set out therein and with the recognition and measurement requirements (but not the disclosure requirements) of Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia, and the accounting policies adopted by GRP and Helpa Inc.

To the best of Bentleys' knowledge and belief, there have been no material items, transactions or events subsequent to 30 June 2014 not otherwise disclosed in this report or its appendices that have come to our attention during the course of our review which would cause the information included in this report to be misleading or deceptive.

Bentleys does not have any interest in the outcome of the issue of the shares, other than in connection with the preparation of this report for which normal professional fees will be received. Bentleys were not involved in the preparation of any part of the Prospectus, and accordingly, make no representations or warranties as to the completeness and accuracy of any information contained in any other part of the Prospectus. Bentleys consents to the inclusion of this report in the Prospectus in the form and content in which it is included. At the date of this report, this consent has not been withdrawn.

Yours faithfully

The reviewed consolidated pro forma statement of financial position represents the unaudited statement of financial position of the Company as at 30 June 2014 adjusted for the subsequent events and pro-forma transactions outlined in the Notes to this Appendix. It should be read in conjunction with the notes to the historical and pro forma financial information.

Notes to and Forming Part of the Financial Statements

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of Accounting

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the measurement and recognition (but not the disclosure) requirements of Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001.

The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis, are based on historical cost and except where stated do not take into account changing money values or current valuations of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

The preparation of the Statement of Comprehensive Income and Statement of Financial Position requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Statement of Comprehensive Income and Statement of Financial Position are disclosed where appropriate.

The financial information has been prepared on the basis of a going concern which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The Statement of Comprehensive Income and The Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2014 is in accordance with the Company's audited financial position at that date. The pro forma Statement of Comprehensive Income and pro forma Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2014 represents the reviewed financial position and adjusted for the transactions discussed in Note 2 to this report. The Statement of Comprehensive Income and Statement of Financial Position should be read in conjunction with the notes set out in this report.

(b) Principles of Consolidation

Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of GRP Corporation Ltd as at 30 June 2014 and the results of all subsidiaries for the period then ended. GRP Corporation Ltd and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this report as the Group or the consolidated entity.

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group (refer note 1(g).

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the individual financial statements of GRP Corporation Ltd.

(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts.

(d) Property, Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Plant and equipment are depreciated or amortised on a reducing balance or straight line basis at rates based upon their expected useful lives as follows:

Plant and equipment 3 – 7 years

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the income statement.

(e) Revenue and Other Income

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis that takes into account the effective yield on the financial asset.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

(f) Income Tax

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company's subsidiaries and associated entities operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects either accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

(g) Acquisition of Subsidiaries and Businesses

Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration for each acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values (at the date of exchange) of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

Where applicable, the consideration for the acquisition includes any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, measured at its acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in such fair values are adjusted against the cost of acquisition where they qualify as measurement period adjustments (see below). All other subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability are accounted for in accordance with relevant Standards. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as equity are not recognised.

The acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under AASB 3 are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date, except that:

  • · deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with AASB 112 Income Taxes and AASB 119 Employee Benefits respectively;
  • · liabilities or equity instruments related to the replacement by the Group of an acquiree's sharebased payment awards are measured in accordance with AASB 2 Share-based Payment; and
  • · assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with AASB 5 Noncurrent Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that Standard.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see below), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date.

The measurement period is the period from the date of acquisition to the date the Group obtains complete information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date – and is subject to a maximum of one year.

The acquisition of Helpa Inc ("Helpa") has been reflected in the pro forma Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2014. In accounting for the acquisition, the Group has taken guidance from the principles of AASB 3 Business Combinations ("AASB 3") and determined that Helpa would be deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the transaction is accounted for as a reverse asset acquisition. As a result, the pro forma consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2014 has been prepared as a continuation of the Helpa financial statements, with Helpa (as the accounting acquirer) accounting for the acquisitions as from 30 June 2014 (for the purposes of the pro forma consolidated Statement of Financial Position). As the activities of the legal acquirer (GRP Corporation Ltd) would not constitute a business based on the requirements of AASB 3, any excess of the deemed consideration over the fair value of the acquisitions, as calculated in accordance with the reverse acquisition accounting principles, cannot be taken to goodwill and has been expensed.

(h) Impairment of Assets

At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the asset's carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

(i) Investments & Financial Instruments

Recognition and de-recognition

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date being the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in equity are included in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income as gains and losses from investment securities.

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets are classified at fair value through profit or loss when they are held for trading for the purpose of short term profit taking, where they are derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a Company of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

(ii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

(iii) Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the Company's intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated as such or that are not classified in any of the other categories. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.

(v) Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Fair Value

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm's length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

Impairment

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

(j) Payables

Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are carried at amortised cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the consolidated entity. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days.

(k) Issued Capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(l) Employee Benefits

(i) Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

(ii) Long service leave

The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

(m) Provisions

Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and make good obligations are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense

(n) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

  • · Where the GST incurred on the purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
  • · Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.

12. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

12.1 ASX Corporate Governance Council Principles and Recommendations

GRP has adopted comprehensive systems of control and accountability as the basis for the administration of corporate governance. The Board is committed to administering the policies and procedures with openness and integrity, pursuing the true spirit of corporate governance commensurate with GRP's needs.

To the extent applicable, GRP has adopted The Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (3rd Edition) as published by ASX Corporate Governance Council (Recommendations).

The Board seeks, where appropriate, to provide accountability levels that meet or exceed the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Principles and Recommendations.

Details on GRP's corporate governance procedures, policies and practices can be obtained from the Company website at http://www.grpcorporation.com.au.

Board of Directors

The Board is responsible for corporate governance of the Company. The Board develops strategies for the Company, reviews strategic objectives and monitors performance against those objectives. The goals of the corporate governance processes are to:

  • (a) maintain and increase Shareholder value;
  • (b) ensure a prudential and ethical basis for the Company's conduct and activities; and
  • (c) ensure compliance with the Company's legal and regulatory objectives.

Consistent with these goals, the Board assumes the following responsibilities:

  • (a) developing initiatives for profit and asset growth;
  • (b) reviewing the corporate, commercial and financial performance of the Company on a regular basis;
  • (c) acting on behalf of, and being accountable to, the Shareholders; and
  • (d) identifying business risks and implementing actions to manage those risks and corporate systems to assure quality.

The Company is committed to the circulation of relevant materials to Directors in a timely manner to facilitate Directors' participation in the Board discussions on a fully-informed basis.

Composition of the Board

Election of Board members is substantially the province of the Shareholders in general meeting. However, subject thereto, the Company is committed to the following principles:

  • (a) the Board is to comprise Directors with a blend of skills, experience and attributes appropriate for the Company and its business; and
  • (b) the principal criterion for the appointment of new Directors is their ability to add value to the Company and its business.

The Board has appointed a Nomination and Remuneration Committee (Committee) and established a Charter for the Committee which includes the identification and recommendation of potential director appointments. Where a casual vacancy arises during the year, the Committee has procedures to select the most suitable candidate with the appropriate experience and expertise to ensure a balanced and effective Board. Any director appointed during the year to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the current Board, holds office until the next annual general meeting and is then eligible for re-election by the shareholders.

It is proposed that, whilst there are only three directors of the Company, all directors will be members of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee with Mr Roger Harley to be appointed as the chair of the Committee, if the Transaction is successfully completed.

Ethical standards

The Board is committed to the establishment and maintenance of appropriate ethical standards.

Independent professional advice

Subject to the Chairman's approval (not to be unreasonably withheld), the Directors, at the Company's expense, may obtain independent professional advice on issues arising in the course of their duties.

Remuneration arrangements

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.

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.

Trading policy

The Board has adopted a policy that sets out the guidelines on the sale and purchase of securities in the Company by its key management personnel (i.e. Directors and, if applicable, any employees reporting directly to the managing director). The policy generally provides that written notification to the Chairman must be obtained prior to trading.

External audit

The Company in general meetings is responsible for the appointment of the external auditors of the Company, and the Board from time to time will review the scope, performance and fees of those external auditors.

Audit and risk committee

The Board has established an audit and risk committee (Audit and Risk Committee) as part of its Corporate Governance Charter. The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for ensuring the risks and opportunities are identified on a timely basis. To achieve this, the Audit and Risk Committee will implement a risk system which allows for the regular monitoring of identified risk areas and performance against the activities to minimise or control these identified risks.

The Audit and Risk Committee's purpose is to provide assistance to the Board in fulfilling its corporate governance and monitoring responsibility in relation to the Company's risks associated with the integrity of financial reporting, internal control systems and external audit functions.

It is proposed that, whilst there are only three directors of the Company, all directors will be members of the Audit and Risk Committee with Mr Roger Harley to be appointed as the chair of the Committee, if the Transaction is successfully completed.

Diversity Policy

The Board has adopted a diversity policy which provides a framework for the Company to achieve, amongst other things, a diverse and skilled workforce, a workplace culture characterised by inclusive practices and behaviours for the benefit of all staff, improved employment and career development opportunities for women and a work environment that values and utilises the contributions of employees with diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives.

12.2 Departures from Recommendations

Following re-admission to the Official List of ASX, GRP will be required to report any departures from the Recommendations in its annual financial report.

The New Shares offered under this Prospectus will be fully paid ordinary shares in the issued capital of GRP and will, upon issue, rank equally with all other Shares then on issue.

The rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are regulated by GRP's Constitution, the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules, the ASX Settlement Rules and common law. The following is a summary of the more significant rights and obligations attaching to the Shares (including New Shares). 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.

Further details of the rights 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.

15.2.1 General meetings

Shareholders are entitled to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company, in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative.

For so long as the Company remains a listed entity, Shareholders will be entitled to receive at least 28 days' prior written notice of any proposed general meeting.

Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with Section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution.

15.2.2 Voting rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares, at a general meeting of Shareholders or a class of Shareholders:

  • (a) 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

15.2.3 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 Board 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 (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Shares. The Board may also from time to time pay to the Shareholders such interim dividends as the Board may determine.

No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company. The Board 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 Board, 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 Board, implement a dividend reinvestment plan on such terms and conditions as the Board thinks fit and which provides for any dividend which the Board may declare from time to time payable on Shares which are participating Shares in the dividend reinvestment plan, less any amount which the Company shall either pursuant to the Constitution or any law be entitled or obliged to retain, be applied by the Company to the payment of the subscription price of Shares.

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 or she 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.

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 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.

15.2.5 Shareholder liability

As the New Shares offered the Prospectus are fully paid shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Company and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.

15.2.6 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.
