3 Letter from the Board of Directors
Dear Shareholder,
The Board is pleased to offer Shareholders the opportunity to participate in the Company's two (2) for five (5) pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement issue to raise up to $ 1,248,000 (before expenses) (Entitlement Offer). The Offer is partially underwritten by Directors to a maximum value of $200,000 and there is a facility for Shareholders to apply for shares not taken up by other Shareholders.
All Shareholders registered as at 7.00 pm (AEDT) on Tuesday, 18 November 2014 and who have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand will be entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer. The price payable on application for each New Share is $ 0.12.
This Offer Document contains detailed information about the Offer, the financial and operating performance of the Company and the key risks associated with an investment in the Company's Shares. You should read this document carefully before making an investment decision.
The purpose of this Entitlement Offer is to reduce bank debt. The Directors believe it is in the best interests of shareholders to achieve this reduction by means of this Entitlement Offer to provide a much more appropriate debt equity ratio, greater flexibility with our business financing options and a substantial reduction in borrowing costs.
The Company has a successful history of developing innovative road safety products and has now repositioned itself to focus on its strong portfolio of established innovative products together with the development of new innovative products. This will have the dual benefits of improved stakeholder value and reduced human road trauma.
Additionally, the Company has produced a positive underlying EBIT for the past two calendar quarters, reflecting the benefits from the past year's restructuring activities to right-size the business, dispose of non-core elements in a controlled manner and focus on rebuilding the business. This was a vital component in our commitment to delivering acceptable returns to shareholders, whilst also looking for new innovative product opportunities to bring to the market.
Looking ahead, the Company has commenced commercialisation of the Ironman Hybrid steel and concrete temporary safety barrier system as part of its temporary barrier rental portfolio. The Company continues to seek interested parties for a larger commercial transaction in the sale of this new product.
The Company has also recently signed distributor agreements with two overseas parties to distribute some of our patented products in their substantial markets and to launch their patented products here in Australia.
The risks of an investment in the Company are set out in Section 7 of this Offer Document Statement, and you should pay particular attention to that Section of the Offer Document.
The Closing Date for acceptances of the Entitlement Offer is 5.00 pm (AEDT) on Tuesday, 9 December 2014.
We urge you to carefully consider this Offer Document and, if you are satisfied with our plans, to consider fully supporting the Offer by taking up all of your entitlements.
For all enquiries regarding the Offer, your holding of Shares, change of address or other registry matters, please contact the Company's Share Registry on 1300 737 760.
Yours faithfully,
David Ashmore Chairman
4 Details of the Entitlement Offer and Shortfall Offer
Before making a decision to invest in or subscribe for New Shares, Eligible Shareholders should read this Offer Document in full, with particular regard to the risk factors set out in Section 7 and their own investment parameters and, as necessary, seek independent professional advice from appropriate advisors.
4.1 Entitlement Offer
The Company offers for subscription a pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement issue to Eligible Shareholders of two (2) New Shares for every five (5) Existing Shares held on the Record Date at an issue price of $0.12 per New Share.
Fractional Entitlements will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
Based on the capital structure of the Company, the maximum number of New Shares to be issued pursuant to the Entitlement Offer is 10,400,000. The Entitlement Offer will raise up to $1,248,000. The purpose of the Entitlement Offer and the use of funds raised are set out in section 6 of this Offer Document.
The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable, which means that Entitlements are unable to be traded. Eligible Shareholders should either take up their Entitlement in whole or in part, otherwise their Entitlement will lapse and other Eligible Shareholders may subscribe to those shares (Refer 4.2 below).
The Entitlement Offer is not conditional and there is no minimum subscription.
The Entitlement Offer is partially underwritten by Directors to a maximum value of $200,000.
4.2 Applying for more than your entitlement
In addition to being able to apply for your entitlement of New Shares as described above, Eligible Shareholders who subscribe for their full entitlement will also have the opportunity to apply for New Shares that are not subscribed for under the Entitlement Offer (Shortfall Shares).
The Application Form will allow you to apply for Shortfall Shares in addition to your entitlement (Shortfall Facility).
The Company has discretion under the Shortfall Facility to issue all, none or part of any Shortfall Shares you may apply for. If your application for Shortfall Shares is accepted by the Company, those Shortfall Shares will be issued at the same time as New Shares applied for under your entitlement.
Subscription moneys for any New Shares and any Shortfall Shares you apply for but which are not issued (e.g., if the Offer is withdrawn or if the application payment is in excess) to you will be refunded without interest. As the Company will only issue up to the aggregate number of New Shares that are offered under the Offer (i.e. 10,400,000 New Shares), it may be necessary to scale back applications for Shortfall Shares if the total number of New Shares applied for (including Shortfall Shares) exceeds that number.
4.3 Overseas shareholders
The Entitlement Offer does not, and is not intended to, constitute an offer of New Shares in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer.
It is not practicable for the Company to comply with the securities laws of overseas jurisdictions having regard to the number of overseas Shareholders, the number and value of Shares these Shareholders would be offered and the cost of complying with regulatory requirements in each relevant jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Entitlement Offer is not being extended and New Shares will not be issued to Shareholders with a registered address which is outside Australia or New Zealand, unless a formal offer has been made to those Shareholders, in accordance with the legislation and regulations within such jurisdiction
Shareholders resident in New Zealand should consult their professional advisors as to whether any governmental or other consent is required, or whether other formalities need to be observed, to enable them to exercise their Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer.
4.4 Director's participation in the Offer
Each Director of the Company who holds Shares and is an Eligible Shareholder intends to fully participate in the Offer.
4.5 Directors' Partial Underwriting Agreement
The Directors have agreed to partially underwrite the New Shares offered under the Offer up to a maximum of $200,000. For the avoidance of doubt, this is in addition to the Entitlements Directors will receive as a result of their shareholding in the Company. The Directors have indicated they intend to fully participate in the Offer.
The terms of the Directors' Partial Underwriting Agreement are unconditional and irrevocable. However, if the Offer does not proceed, the partial-underwriting arrangements terminate immediately.
If there are any Shortfall Shares the Directors will determine the obligations of each of the partial-underwriters in accordance with their agreements.
The maximum percentage of issued capital that could be owned by Directors following completion of the Entitlement Offer and the issue of 10,400,000 New Shares is set out in the table below:
| David Ashmore | Darren Hotchkin | David Cleland | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maximum percentage of | |||
| Shares following the Offer1 | 4.67% | 20.55% | 1.61% |
1 Assuming the Directors and their nominees take up their full Entitlements under the Offer and Messrs Ashmore, Hotchkin and Cleland are allocated the maximum number of Shares under the Directors' partial underwriting commitments.
4.6 Quotation of New Shares by ASX
Application for official quotation by ASX of the New Shares will be made within 7 days after the date of this Offer Document. 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 the Company or the New Shares now offered for subscription.
4.7 Allotment of New Shares
New Shares issued pursuant to the Entitlement Offer will be allotted as soon as practicable after the Closing Date. The Company will allot the New Shares on the basis of a Shareholder's Entitlement and Acceptance Form.
Pending the allotment and issue of the New Shares, or the payment of any refunds, all application money will be held by the Company in trust for the Applicants in a separate bank account as required by the Corporations Act. The Company will be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on the bank account and each Applicant waives the right to claim interest.
4.8 Entitlement and liabilities attaching to New Shares
All New Shares issued pursuant to the Entitlement Offer will, from the time they are issued, be fully paid and rank pari passu with all the Company's Existing Shares.
Full details of the Entitlement and liabilities attaching to New Shares are set out in the Company's Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection on the Company's website and at the Company's registered office during normal business hours.
4.9 Taxation implications
The Directors do not consider that it is appropriate to give Shareholders advice regarding the taxation consequences of applying for New Shares under the Entitlement Offer, as it is not possible to provide a comprehensive summary of the possible taxation consequences for individual Shareholders. The Company, its advisers and officers, do not accept any responsibility or liability for any taxation consequences of investing in the Entitlement Offer. Shareholders should consult their own professional tax adviser in connection with the taxation implications of acquiring New Shares under the Entitlement Offer.
4.10 Withdrawal of Entitlement Offer
The Company reserves the right not to proceed with the Entitlement Offer at any time before the issue of New Shares to Eligible Shareholders. If the Entitlement Offer does not proceed, the Company will return all application money, without interest, as soon as practicable after giving notice of its withdrawal.
4.11 Regular reporting and disclosure
The Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules. These obligations require the Company to notify ASX of information about specific events and matters as they arise for the purposes of ASX making that information available to the market. In particular, the Company has an obligation (subject to certain limited exceptions)
to notify ASX once it is, or becomes, aware of information concerning the Company which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Company's securities. All announcements made by the Company are available from ASX or its website www.asx.com.au.
Additionally, the Company is also required to prepare and lodge with ASIC yearly and half-yearly financial statements accompanied by a directors' statement and report, and an audit review or report. These reports are released to ASX and published on the ASX website.

6 Purpose and Effect of the Entitlement Offer
6.1 Purpose of the Offer
Saferoads specialises in providing innovative road safety solutions.
Headquartered in Drouin, Victoria, and with representation across Australia and New Zealand, the company services State Government departments, local councils and road construction and equipment hire companies with a broad range of products and services designed to direct, protect, inform and illuminate all road users.
Products and services the company provides includes flexible guide posts and signage; rubberbased traffic calming products including separation kerbing and wheel stops; variable messaging sign boards and the maintenance thereof; decorative and standard street light poles; and permanent and temporary crash cushions, bollards and safety barriers including rental of temporary barriers.
The company has a successful history of developing innovative road safety products and, after some years of distraction, the company is now repositioning itself to focus on its strong portfolio of established innovative products together with the development of new innovative products. This will have the dual benefits of improved stakeholder value and reduced human road trauma.
A summary of company performance for the past five financial years is below:
| 2014 | 2013 | 2012 | 2011 | 2010 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS (cents) | (3.6) | (5.3) | (35.5) | 2.9 | 7.8 |
| Net profit/(loss) ($) | (930,978) | (1,388,899) | (9,219,362) | 747,672 | 2,035,154 |
| Share price ($) | $0.13 | $0.06 | $0.09 | $0.22 | $0.44 |
Additionally, the Company has produced a positive underlying EBIT for the past two calendar quarters, reflecting the benefits from the past year's restructuring activities to right-size the business, dispose of non-core elements in a controlled manner and focus on rebuilding the business. This was a vital component in the Company's commitment to delivering acceptable returns to shareholders, whilst also looking for new innovative product opportunities to bring to the market.
Looking ahead, the Company has commenced commercialisation of the Ironman Hybrid steel and concrete temporary safety barrier system as part of its temporary barrier rental portfolio. The Company continues to seek interested parties for a larger commercial transaction in the sale of this new product.
The Company has recently signed distributor agreements with two overseas parties to distribute some of its patented products in their substantial markets and to launch their patented products here in Australia.
The purpose of the Entitlement Offer is to raise $1,248,000. The proceeds of the Entitlement Offer are planned to be used in accordance with the table set out below:
| Proceeds of the Entitlement Offer and Shortfall Offer | $ 1,248,000 |
|---|---|
| Repayment of bank debt | $ 1,200,000 |
| Working capital | $ 33,000 |
| Expenses of the Entitlement Offer (estimated) | $ 15,000 |
| Total | $ 1,248,000 |
** All amounts are approximations
The Company continues to operate within the terms of its existing financing facility with its financier which expires in July 2015. The Directors believe it is in the best interests of shareholders to further reduce bank debt by means of this Entitlement Offer from its present $4.8 million to $3.6 million. Further, repayments amounting to approximately $500,000 are scheduled to reduce bank debt to approximately $3.1 million by 30 June 2015. These reductions in bank debt will provide a much more appropriate debt equity ratio, greater flexibility with its business financing options and a substantial reduction in borrowing costs. The Company's financier has been consulted and an extension to and improvements in borrowing terms have been agreed, subject to fulfilling the repayment of $1.2 million of debt by 31 December 2014.
6.2 Effect on capital structure and control
A comparative table of changes in the capital structure of the Company as a consequence of the Entitlement Offer is set out below.
| Number | |
|---|---|
| Shares on issue at date of Entitlement Offer | 26,000,000 |
| Maximum number of New Shares to be issued pursuant to theEntitlement Offer | 10,400,000 |
| Total Shares on issue after completion of the Entitlement Offer* | 36,400,000 |
* Assuming all New Shares are fully taken up by Shareholders.
As at the date of this Offer Document, there are no options to acquire Shares on issue.
6.3 Effect on Control
If all Shareholders fully take up their Entitlements to New Shares, or entitlements to New Shares not taken up by some Shareholders (Shortfall Shares) are fully subscribed, then 10,400,000 New Shares will be issued by Saferoads.
If any Eligible Shareholders do not take up or fully take up their Entitlements to New Shares, then the proportional shareholding interest in Saferoads of those Eligible Shareholders will be diluted by up to 28.6%.
None of the abovementioned circumstances is expected to have any material effect on the control of Saferoads.
7 Risk Factors
The New Shares offered under this Entitlement Offer are considered a speculative investment, and involve investors being exposed to risk. The Directors strongly recommend potential Applicants consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for New Shares pursuant to the Entitlement Offer.
There are specific risks which relate directly to the Company's business. In addition, there are other general risks, many of which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors.
The risks identified in this section, or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the financial performance of the Company and the market price or value of the New Shares.
The following summary, which is not exhaustive, represents some of the major risk factors of which potential investors need to be aware. Other factors, whilst not specifically referred to below, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the New Shares. New Shares offered under the Entitlement Offer carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of the New Shares.
Unless otherwise indicated by the context, the references to the Company in this section include the Company's subsidiaries.
7.1 Risks specific to the Company and its industry
There are a number of risks specific to the Company and its industry.
Risks attributable to the Company are its ability to:
- Continue to manage the performance of the business, including increasing sales, maintaining margins and operating cash flows and continuing to control overheads;
- Secure further profitable sales contracts for its existing and emerging products; and
- Continue to meet the minimum debt repayment plan set by the Company's financier
From an industry perspective, the Company operates predominantly in the road safety sector, and is therefore dependent on continued government (Federal, State and Local) spend on road infrastructure to be able to service demand from its customers. Various public sector statements on government budget expenditure allocations indicate that road infrastructure is expected to receive funds for new road projects and maintenance and upgrade programs into the foreseeable future.
With a growing population and the pressures of expanding urbanisation of Australia's major cities, it is anticipated that demand for road infrastructure improvements will remain and the challenge for the Company is to ensure its products and services are at the forefront of these opportunities with regards quality, innovation, fit for purpose and pricing, ahead of its competitors.
7.2 General risks
Market conditions
The price of shares quoted for trading by ASX is impacted by various international and domestic factors. As the Company is listed on ASX, its share price is subject to numerous influences which may affect both the share market generally or the Company's share price in particular.
The factors which may create share price fluctuations include inflation, economic conditions, commodity prices, interest rates, exchange rates and investor sentiment generally.
Economic risk and external market forces
Factors including, but not limited to, political movements, stock market trends, changing commodity prices, exchange rates, interest rates, inflation levels, industrial disruption, terrorism or other hostilities, environmental impacts, international competition, taxation changes and legislative or regulatory changes, may all have an adverse impact on the Company's operating costs, profit margins and share price. These factors are beyond the control of the Company and the Company cannot, to any degree of certainty, predict how they will impact on the Company from time to time.
Taxation
The Company's profitability may be affected by changes in Australian government taxation laws and policies.
Government policy
The Company operates its business in a climate that is subject to various forms of government policy and regulation. Road infrastructure spending can be affected by changes in government policy and regulation that are beyond the control of the Company.
Other legal risks
The introduction of new legislation or amendments to existing legislation by governments, developments in existing common law, or the respective interpretation of the legal requirements in any of the legal jurisdictions which govern the Company's operations or contractual obligations, could impact adversely on the assets, operations and therefore on the financial performance of the Company and the price or value of the Shares.
