The Offer of any Shortfall Securities is a separate offer made pursuant to this Prospectus and will remain open until the Closing Date or such other date as the Directors determine in their absolute discretion subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules.

1.8

Entitlement and Acceptance Form

Payment for your Entitlement as set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form creates a legally binding contract between the Applicant and the Company for the number of Shares paid for. The Entitlement and Acceptance Form does not need to be signed or returned to be a binding acceptance of Securities.

1.9 No minimum subscription

There is no minimum subscription for the Offer.

1.10 Issue

All Securities offered by this Prospectus are expected to be issued, and security holder statements sent, on or before the date specified in the timetable.

Applicants who sell Securities before they receive their holding statements will do so at their own risk.

1.11

All Application Monies received for the Shares will be held in trust in a bank account maintained solely for the purpose of depositing Application Monies received pursuant to this Prospectus until the Shares are issued. All Application Monies will be returned (without interest) if the Shares are not issued.

If you are broker sponsored, ASTC will send you a CHESS statement.

The CHESS statement will set out the number of Securities issued under this Prospectus, provide details of your holder identification number, the participant identification number of the sponsor and the terms and conditions applicable to the Shares.

If you are registered on the Issuer Sponsored subregister, your statement will be sent by Computershare Investor Services and will contain the number of Shares issued to you under this Prospectus and your security holder reference number.

A CHESS statement or Issuer Sponsored statement will routinely be sent to Shareholders at the end of any calendar month during which the balance of their Security holding changes. Shareholders may request a statement at any other time, however, a charge may be made for additional statements.

1.14

Overseas Shareholders

The Offer is not being extended to any shareholders whose registered address is outside Australia or New Zealand. The Company is of the view that it is unreasonable to make the Offer to shareholders outside Australia and New Zealand, having regard to:

  • (a) the number of those Shareholders;

  • (b) the number and value of Shares to be offered to those persons; and

  • (c) the cost of complying with overseas legal requirements.

The Prospectus does not constitute an offer in any place in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer other than for Shareholders in Australia and New Zealand. The Company is not required to make offers under the Prospectus to Shareholders other than in Australia and New Zealand. Where the Prospectus has been sent to Shareholders domiciled outside Australia or New Zealand and where the country’s securities code or legislation prohibits or restricts in any way the making of the Offer contemplated by the Prospectus, the Prospectus is provided for information purposes only.

Shareholders resident in Australia or New Zealand holding Shares on behalf of persons who are resident overseas are responsible for ensuring that taking up Entitlements under the Offer does not breach regulations in the relevant overseas jurisdiction. Return of a duly completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation that there has been no breach of those regulations.

The Offer is being made in New Zealand in reliance on the New Zealand Securities Act (Overseas Companies) Exemption Notice 2013. This document is not a prospectus or investment statement under New Zealand law and has not been registered or filed with, or approved by, any New Zealand regulatory authority under or in accordance with the New Zealand Securities Act 1978 or any other relevant law in New Zealand. This document may not contain all the information that an investment statement, or a prospectus under New Zealand law is required to contain.

Notwithstanding the above, the Company may (in its absolute discretion) extend the Offer to certain institutional or sophisticated shareholders who have registered addresses outside Australia and New Zealand (except the United States) in accordance with applicable law.

1.15

Risk factors

An investment in Securities should be regarded as speculative. In addition to the general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities, there are specific risks associated with an investment in the Company which are in Section 3.

8

1.16 Taxation implications

The Directors do not consider it appropriate to give Shareholders advice regarding the taxation consequences of subscribing for Securities under this Prospectus.

The Company, its advisers and its officers do not accept any responsibility or liability for any such taxation consequences to Shareholders. As a result, Shareholders should consult their professional tax adviser in connection with subscribing for Shares under this Prospectus.

1.17 Major activities and financial information

A summary of the major activities and financial information relating to the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2023 is in the Annual Financial Report which was lodged with the ASX on 23 October 2023.

The Company's continuous disclosure notices (i.e. ASX announcements) since 23 October 2023 are listed in Section 5.7.

Copies of these documents are available free of charge from the Company. Directors strongly recommend that Shareholders review these and all other announcements prior to deciding whether or not to participate in the Offer.

1.18

Privacy

The Company collects information about each Applicant provided on an Entitlement and Acceptance Form for the purposes of processing the Acceptance and, if the Acceptance is successful, to administer the Applicant’s security holding in the Company.

By submitting an Entitlement and Acceptance Form, each Applicant agrees that the Company may use the information provided by an Applicant on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form for the purposes set out in this privacy disclosure statement and may disclose it for those purposes to the share registry, the Company’s related bodies corporate, agents, contractors and third party service providers, including mailing houses and professional advisers, and to ASX and regulatory authorities.

If you do not provide the information required on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form, the Company may not be able to accept or process your Acceptance.

An Applicant has an entitlement to gain access to the information that the Company holds about that person subject to certain exemptions under law. A fee may be charged for access. Access requests must be made in writing to the Company’s registered office.

1.19

Effect on Control

Given the Offer is pro rata, being conducted on a 1 for 4.5 ratio and underwritten by a broad group of sub-underwriters there is not expected to be any significant impact on the control of the Company by the completion of the Offer.

1.20 Potential Dilution

In addition, Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Offer their holdings are likely to be diluted by approximately 18.2% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Prospectus). This excludes the impact of any Attaching Options and Underwriter Options which may be exercised.

3. Risk Factors

Activities in the Company and its controlled entities, as in any business, are subject to risks, which may impact on the Company’s future performance. The Company and its controlled entities have implemented appropriate strategies, actions, systems and safeguards for known risks, however, some are outside its control.

The Directors consider that the following summary, which is not exhaustive, represents some of the major risk factors which Shareholders need to be aware of in evaluating the Company’s business and risks of increasing your investment in the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties may also become important factors that adversely affect Rent.com.au’s operating and financial performance or position.

Shareholders should carefully consider the following factors in addition to the other information presented in this Prospectus and publicly available information on Rent.com.au (such as that available on the websites of Rent.com.au and ASX), carefully consider their personal circumstances and consult their stockbroker, solicitor, accountant or other professional adviser before making an investment decision.

The principal risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

3.1 Specific Risks Associated with the Company

  • (a) Commercialisation strategy execution

The Company is currently focused on commercialising its business operations to create a household consumer brand that makes the entire renting process easier. The Company develops and markets products and services aimed at helping renters throughout their rental property journey. Additionally, the Company has products aimed at assisting property managers and landlords.

There can be no assurance that the demand for these products and services will continue nor that anticipated demand for new products transpire within the timeframe expected, or at all,

11

which may have an adverse impact on future revenues and the ability to fully commercialise the Company’s business operations.

The Company’s commercialisation strategy and business plan also includes the development and growth of a range of downstream products and services for the property rental market. Whilst the Company has sought to limit its risk exposure in respect to the servicing obligation of these products through contractual arrangements with reputable third-party providers, there is a risk that these third parties do not adequately or fully comply with their contractual rights and obligations. Such failure may lead to unavailability or fault with the downstream products and services, adversely impacting the Company’s reputation, financial performance and operating margins.

(b) Sufficiency of funding

The Company’s commercialisation strategy requires substantial expenditure and there can be no guarantees that the Company will have sufficient funds to successfully achieve all the objectives of the Company’s business strategy, which may have an adverse impact on future revenue. This may result in the Company needing to raise additional funds to achieve these objectives and fully commercialise the business. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to the Company’s existing Shareholders and any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, which limit the Company’s operations and business strategy. If the Company is unable to raise capital if and when needed, this could delay or suspend the Company’s business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s activities.

(c) Competition

The online property portal industry and property management software sectors are highly competitive. Competition may arise from a number of sources including companies with greater capital resources. The Company’s competitors include media backed organisations, real estate industry bodies who operate online classified websites and other websites offering a range of properties for rent as well as large software (PropTech) businesses. The Company’s performance could be adversely affected if existing or new competitors reduce the Company’s market share through aggressive price competition or increasing product offerings.

(d) Real estate industry

A change in the size and/or structure of the real estate market could impact the Company’s earnings. In particular, consolidation of the market resulting in fewer and larger property agencies may impact upon the prospects of the Company. The Company relies upon listing data provided by property agents to enable its service proposition to renters. Whilst the Company currently receives this data from property agents, the cessation of provision of this data will adversely affect the ability of the Company to provide rental property listings results to renters in searches. Upon cessation of data, this may not be able to be restored or regained. This will decrease the attractiveness of the service provision to renters, likely to reduce traffic volumes and subsequent revenues as a result.

(e) Regulatory changes

Key areas of regulation which could impact upon the performance of the Company relate to regulation of the real estate industry and regulation of privacy and the use of data.

The property rental market is influenced by a number of factors including house prices, bank lending criteria, lifestyle decisions and the general condition of the Australian economy, which by its nature is cyclical and subject to change. From 1994 to 2023 there has been a trend of increasing percentages of Australian households renting, however structural changes to the real estate industry effected via legislation or regulatory changes that would encourage home ownership (e.g. first home owner incentives) and dis-incentivise property investment could impact negatively on the Company’s revenues.

To use many of the Company’s products and services, renters, non-agent landlords and property agents who visit www.rent.com.au or use the Company’s mobile applications are prompted to

12

register their details on site. This is particularly relevant to one of the Company’s key products, the Renter Resume, which gathers sufficient data to enable a renter to apply for rental properties online and RentPay it’s payments platform for rent and utilities. The Company complies with privacy laws in handling customer’s personal information, however increased privacy regulation could impact negatively on the Company’s operating results and a breach of privacy regulation could result in financial penalties and negatively impact customer satisfaction and confidence in the Company.

(f) Information technology

The Company’s management information and other IT systems are designed to enhance the efficiency of its operations with a focus on customer facing websites. Its web platform is developed in-house using various technologies. The Company relies on key personnel to maintain the site (see key management personnel risk below) and on the availability of its programming code and absence of defects in its programming software. Source code is securely hosted offsite by GitHub, one of the largest code hosts in the world.

Where the Company’s products involve a level of service provision by third parties, this is often done via software integration to deliver a seamless experience to the customer. There is a risk that changes by the third parties to their services may cause integration problems, which affect reliability of the Company’s services. Any interruptions to third party services could also result in disruptions to the Company's products, which could negatively impact the Company's operations. The Company predominantly uses application programming interfaces (APIs). This simplifies the implementation and maintenance of software, allowing more flexible integration with the third parties thereby reducing this risk.

The Company’s business relies upon users accessing its website or mobile applications which are securely hosted offsite by Amazon Web Services. Any interruptions to these operations could impair the ability for the Company to continue normal transaction processing. Standard backup and restoration procedures are in place, however, a natural disaster or other unforeseen event that results in loss of access to the Company website, the loss or corruption of data or the inability to process transactions could have a negative impact on the Company’s performance.

(g) Reliance on key management personnel

The Company has a number of key management personnel, and its future depends on retaining and attracting these and other suitable qualified personnel. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to attract and retain suitable qualified personnel, and a failure to do so could materially adversely affect the business, operating results and financial prospects.

(h) Security

As with all e-commerce businesses, the Company is heavily reliant on the security of its websites, mobile applications and associated payment systems which ensure that customers are confident transacting online. Breaches of security such as fraudulent and scam advertising could impact customer satisfaction and confidence in the Company and could impact the financial performance of the Company.

Other breaches of security, such as cyber-attacks by hackers, could render the Company's websites, mobile applications and associated payment systems unavailable through a disrupted denial of service or other disruptive attacks. Cyber-attacks could also compromise customer identity and payment data. Unavailability of those websites and associated payment systems could lead to a loss of revenues for the Company or fines. Further, it could hinder the Company's ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers, particularly if the Company's products were perceived to be less secure or reliable than its competitors, which would have a material adverse impact on the Company's prospects.

The Company has cybersecurity insurance cover and has deployed several systems and other security measures to protect customer data and all staff undergo annual cyber-security training.

13

These cybersecurity measures are tested through engaging independent, external consultants to conduct penetration testing on at least an annual basis.

(i) Threat of new technology

The Company’s financial performance or operating margins could be adversely impacted if the popularity of the internet as a medium of finding and listing rental properties were to diminish due to the emergence of new technology. The Company continues to actively monitor the emergence of new technology.

(j) Customer service risk

The Company's business model is based on revenue arising from usage. Poor customer service experiences may arise due to a number of circumstances, including customers receiving poor or inadequate services using the Company's websites, errors or defects or unsatisfactory customer outcomes. This may result in the loss of customers, adverse publicity, litigation, regulatory enquiries and customers reducing the use of the Company's products or services. If any of these occur, it may adversely impact the Company's revenues.

(k) Infringement of third party intellectual property rights

If a third party accuses the Company of infringing its intellectual property rights or if a third party commences litigation against the Company for the infringement of trademarks or other intellectual property rights, the Company may incur significant costs in defending such action, whether or not it ultimately prevails. Typically, intellectual property litigation is expensive. Costs that the Company incurs in defending third party infringement actions would also include diversion of management’s and technical personnel’s time.

In addition, parties making claims against the Company may be able to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief that could prevent the Company from further using its branding, trademarks or commercialising its products. In the event of a successful claim of infringement against the Company, it may be required to pay damages and obtain one or more licenses from the prevailing third party. If it is not able to obtain these licenses at a reasonable cost, if at all, it could encounter delays in product introductions and loss of substantial resources while it attempts to develop alternative products. Defence of any lawsuit or failure to obtain any of these licenses could prevent the Company from commercialising available products and could cause it to incur substantial expenditure.

(l)

Credit risk

Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group.

Credit risk is managed through the maintenance of procedures (such procedures include the utilisation of systems for the approval, granting and renewal of credit limits, regular monitoring of exposures against such limits and monitoring of the financial stability of significant customers and counterparties), ensuring to the extent possible, that customers and counterparties to transactions are of sound credit worthiness. Such monitoring is used in assessing receivables for impairment. Credit terms are generally 30 days from the invoice date.

(m) Liquidity risk

The Company holds significant cash in trust on behalf of customers of its RentPay payments platform as a result of timing differences between when the customer pays into RentPay and when those funds are disbursed to a property manager or utility company, including instance where a customer utilises the “buffer” feature. Should the Company suffer a liquidity event that means it cannot pay a property manager or utility company on time, it would likely suffer reputational and financial loss. The Company manages this risk by maintaining the funds in a separate trust account held by a regulated major financial institution (currently ANZ Bank).

14

(n) Quotation of Attaching Options

The Company will initially be issuing the Attaching Options are unlisted options. It is the intention of the Company to seek listing of the Attaching Options subject to compliance with ASX Listing Rule requirements. Whilst the Company is confident that the ASX Listing Rule requirements in relation to the quotation of the Attaching Options will be met, and accordingly the Attaching Options will be quoted, there is a risk that these requirements will not be met and the Attaching Options will remain unlisted.

3.2 General Risks

  • (a) Market conditions

Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company’s quoted securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

  • (i) general economic outlook;

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

  • (iii) interest rates and inflation rates;

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

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

  • (vi) terrorism or other hostilities.

The market price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and technology stocks in particular. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.

(b) Economic and government risks

The future viability of the Company is also dependent on a number of other factors affecting performance of all industries and not just the property rental market including, but not limited to, the following:

  • (i) general economic conditions in jurisdictions in which the Company operates;

  • (ii) changes in government policies, taxation and other laws in jurisdictions in which the Company operates;

  • (iii) the strength of the equity and share markets in Australia and throughout the world, and in particular investor sentiment towards the online classified advertising sector;

  • (iv) movement in, or outlook on, interest rates and inflation rates in jurisdictions in which the Company operates; and

  • (v) natural disasters, social upheaval or war in jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

  • (c) Litigation

The Company is exposed to the risk of actual or threatened litigation or legal disputes in the form of customer claims, intellectual property claims, personal injury claims, employee claims and other litigation and disputes. If any claim was successfully pursued it may adversely impact the financial performance, financial position, cash flow and share price of the Company.

(d) Investment risk

The Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus should be considered speculative. They carry no guarantee as to payment of dividends, return of capital or the market value of the Shares. The prices at which an investor may be able to trade the Shares may be above or below the price paid for the Shares. While the Directors commend the Offer, prospective investors must make their

15

own assessment of the likely risks and determine whether an investment in the Company is appropriate to their own circumstances.

3.3 Investment 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 factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Securities offered under this Prospectus.

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 Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

  • (a) Increase in cash of $1,946,195 being the amount raised from the Offer.

  • (b) Increase in contributed equity of $1,749,732 being the issue of 114,482,080 shares at an issue price of $0.017 each pursuant to the Offer less costs of the Offer of $196,464.

19

4.3 Market price of Shares

The highest and lowest market sale prices of the Company’s Shares on ASX during the 3 months immediately preceding the date of lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC and the respective dates of those sales were:

Highest: $0.026 per Share on 3 August 2023 Lowest: $0.017 per Share on 6 October 2023

The latest available market sale price of the Company’s Shares on ASX prior to the date of lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC was $0.020 per Share on 27 October 2023.

4.4 Dividend policy

The Directors are not able to say when and if dividends will be paid in the future, as the payment of any dividends will depend on the future profitability, financial position and cash requirements of the Company.

5. Additional information

5.1 Rights attaching to Shares

A summary of the rights attaching to Shares in the Company is set out below. This summary is qualified by the full terms of the Constitution (a full copy of the Constitution is available from the Company on request free of charge) and does not purport to be exhaustive or to constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. These rights and liabilities can involve complex questions of law arising from an interaction of the Constitution with statutory and common law requirements. For a Shareholder to obtain a definitive assessment of the rights and liabilities which attach to Shares in any specific circumstances, the Shareholder should seek legal advice.

The Shares to be issued under this Prospectus will rank equally with the existing Shares.

  • (a) General meeting and notices

Each member is entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at, general meetings of the Company and to receive all notices, accounts and other documents required to be sent to members under the Constitution, the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules.

(b) 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 the Company every holder of fully paid ordinary shares present in person or by an attorney; representative or proxy has one vote on a show of hands (unless a member has appointed 2 proxies) and one vote per share on a poll.

A person who holds a share which is not fully paid is entitled, on a poll, to a fraction of a vote equal to the proportion which the amount paid bears to the total issue price of the share.

Where there are 2 or more joint holders of a share and more than one of them is present at a meeting and tenders a vote in respect of the share, the Company will count only the vote cast by the member whose name appears first in the Company's register of members.

20

(c)

Issues of further Shares

The Directors may, on behalf of the Company, issue, grant options over or otherwise dispose of unissued shares to any person on the terms, with the rights, and at the times that the Directors decide. However, the Directors must act in accordance with the restrictions imposed by the Constitution, Listing Rules, the Corporations Act and any rights for the time being attached to the shares in any special class of those shares.

(d) Variation of Rights

Unless otherwise provided by the Constitution or by the terms of issue of a class of shares, the rights attached to the shares in any class may be varied or cancelled only with the written consent of the holders of at least three-quarters of the issued shares of the affected class, or by special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the issued shares of the affected class.

(e) Transfer of Shares

Subject to the Constitution, the Corporations Act and Listing Rules, Shares are freely transferable.

The Shares may be transferred by a proper transfer effected in accordance with the ASX Settlement Operating Rules, by any other method of transferring or dealing with Shares introduced by ASX and as otherwise permitted by the Corporations Act or by a written instrument of transfer in any usual form or in any other form approved by either the Directors or ASX that is permitted by the Corporations Act.

The Directors may decline to register a transfer of Shares (other than a proper transfer in accordance with the ASTC Business Rules) where permitted to do so under the Listing Rules. If the Directors decline to register a transfer, the Company must, within 5 business days after the transfer is delivered to the Company, give the party lodging the transfer written notice of the refusal and the reason for the refusal. The Directors must decline to register a transfer of Shares when required by law, by the Listing Rules or by the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.

(f) Partly paid Shares

The Directors may, subject to compliance with the Constitution, the Corporations Act and Listing Rules, issue partly paid shares upon which there are outstanding amounts payable. These shares will have limited rights to vote and to receive dividends.

(g) Dividends

The Directors may from time to time determine dividends to be distributed to members according to their rights and interests. The Directors may fix the time for distribution and the methods of distribution. Subject to the terms of issue of shares, the Company may pay a dividend on one class of shares to the exclusion of another class.

Each share carries the right to participate in the dividend in the same proportion that the amount for the time being paid on the share (excluding any amount paid in advance of calls) bears to the total issue price of the share.

(h) Winding up

Subject to the rights of holders of shares with special rights in a winding-up, if the Company is wound up, members will be entitled to participate in any surplus assets of the Company in proportion to the percentage of the capital paid-up or credited as paid up on the shares when the winding up begins.

  • (i) Dividend reinvestment and Share plans

Subject to the requirements in the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, the Directors may implement and maintain dividend reinvestment plans (under which any member may elect that dividends payable by the Company be reinvested by way of subscription

21

for fully paid shares in the Company) and any other share plans (under which any member may elect to forego any dividends that may be payable on all or some of the shares held by that member and to receive instead some other entitlement, including the issue of fully paid shares).

  • (j) Directors

The Constitution states that the minimum number of Directors is 3.

  • (k) Powers of the Board

  • Except as otherwise required by the Corporations Act, any other law, the Listing Rules or the Constitution, the Directors have the power to manage the business of the Company and may exercise every right, power or capacity of the Company.

  • (l) Share buy backs

  • Subject to the provisions of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, the Company may buy back shares in itself on the terms and at times determined by Directors.

  • (m) Unmarketable parcels

  • The Company's constitution permits the Board to sell the Shares held by a Shareholder if they comprise less than a marketable parcel within the meaning of ASX Business Rules. The procedure may only be invoked once in any 12 month period and requires the Company to give the Shareholder notice of the intended sale.

If a Shareholder does not want his Shares sold, he may notify the Company accordingly.

  • (n) Capitalisation of profits

The Company may capitalise profits. Subject to the Constitution and the terms of the issue of shares, members are entitled to participate in a capital distribution in the same proportions in which they are entitled to participate in dividends.

  • (o) Capital reduction

  • Subject to the Corporations Act and Listing Rules, the Company may reduce its share capital.

  • (p) Preference Shares The Company may issue preference shares, including preference shares that are liable to be redeemed. The rights attaching to preference shares are those set out in the Constitution unless other rights have been approved by special resolution of the Company’s members.

Any Notice of Exercise of an Attaching Option received by the Company will be deemed to be a notice of the exercise of that Attaching Option as at the date of receipt.

  • (f) Shares issued on exercise

Shares issued on exercise of the Attaching Options will rank equally with the then issued Shares of the Company.

  • (g) Attaching Options quotation

The Attaching Options will initially be granted as unlisted options. The Company intends to apply for the quotation of the Attaching Options subject to compliance with ASX requirements for the quotation of the Attaching Options.

  • (h) Quotation of Shares on exercise Application will be made by the Company to ASX for official quotation of the Shares issued upon the exercise of the Attaching Options.

  • (i)

  • Timing of issue of Shares

After an Attaching Option is validly exercised, the Company must within 10 Business Days of exercise:

  • (i) issue the Share; and

  • (ii) do all such acts, matters and things to obtain:

    • (A) the grant of quotation for the Share on ASX no later than 20 Business Days from the date of exercise of the Attaching Option; and

    • (B) receipt of cleared funds equal to the sum payable on the exercise of the Attaching Option.

  • (j) Participation in new issues

There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the Attaching Options and the holder will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Attaching Options.

  • (k) Adjustment for bonus issues of Shares

If the Company makes a bonus issue of Shares or other securities to existing Shareholders (other than an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment):

  • (i) the number of Shares which must be issued on the exercise of Attaching Option will be increased by the number of Shares which the option holder would have received if the option holder had exercised the Attaching Option before the record date for the bonus issue; and

  • (ii) no change will be made to the Exercise Price.

  • (l) Adjustment for rights issue

If the Company makes an issue of Shares pro rata to existing Shareholders, there will be no adjustment of the Exercise Price of a Attaching Option.

23

  • (m) Adjustments for reorganisation

If there is any reconstruction of the issued share capital of the Company, the rights of the option holder may be varied to comply with the Listing Rules which apply to the reconstruction at the time of the reconstruction.

  • (n) Attaching Options transferable

The Attaching Options are transferable.

  • (o) Lodgement instructions
