The SPP closes at 5.00pm (AEST) on Friday, 14 August 2020. If you intend to participate, your application and funds must be received by then. Once an application has been made, it cannot be revoked.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1) What is the SPP?

The SPP provides each Eligible Shareholder (as defined in section (2) below) with an opportunity to subscribe for new Shares (subject to any scale back), without paying any brokerage fees, commissions or other transaction costs, at the Issue Price, being $0 .65 per Share, for a total application price not exceeding $30,000 to raise a maximum of $2 million.

To the extent it is necessary to scale back the number of new Shares that will be issued to individual Shareholders under the SPP, the Company intends to reserve its right to scale back the number of Shares on a pro‐rata basis. If this happens you may be issued Shares to a value that is less than the value of Shares you applied for. The balance of any application money that is not applied to acquire Shares will be refunded to you without interest unless the amount is less than $2, in which case it will be donated to a charity or charities nominated by the Company.

Shareholders considering subscribing for Shares under the SPP should be aware of the risk that the market price may change between the date of this Offer and the date that the new Shares under the SPP are issued.

Details of the Offer are set out in the Terms and Conditions. An Entitlement and Acceptance Form and reply paid envelope are also included in this package.

The Company will not issue new Shares to an applicant if those Shares, either alone or in conjunction with the issue of Shares under other applications received by the Company would contravene any law or the ASX Listing Rules.

3) How much can I invest under the SPP?

Under the SPP, Eligible Shareholders may subscribe for new Shares in parcels starting at $2,500 worth of Shares up to a maximum of $30,000 worth of Shares.

The Company is only offering Shares up to a maximum investment by any Eligible Shareholder of $30,000 even if they receive more than one Offer (whether in respect of a joint holding or because they have more than one holding under a separate account).

SciDev has the ability to scale back the number of new Shares that will be issued in accordance with section (8)) of this Offer.

You agree to pay the Issue Price per Share for the number of Shares you apply for, or if there is a scale back, the number of Shares allotted under the scale back process.

8) Scale back

To the extent it is necessary to scale back the number of Shares that will be issued to individual Shareholders under the SPP, the Company intends to reserve its right to scale back the number of Shares under the SPP on a pro‐rata basis. If this happens you may be issued Shares to a value that is less than the value of Shares you applied for. The balance of any application money that is not applied to acquire Shares will be refunded to you without interest unless the amount is less than $2 , in which case it will be donated to a charity or charities nominated by the Company.

9) What rights will the Shares to be issued under the SPP have?

Shares issued as part of the SPP will rank equally in all respects with existing Shares quoted on the ASX, with the same voting rights, dividend rights and other entitlements from the date of issue.

10) What costs are associated with the SPP?

No brokerage, commissions or other transaction costs are payable by Eligible Shareholders in relation to the application for and the issue of, new Shares under the SPP.

11) Do I have to participate in the SPP?

Participation in the SPP is optional . If you do not wish to participate in the SPP, no action is required on your part. The Offer under the SPP is non‐renounceable. This means you cannot transfer your right to purchase Shares under the SPP to anyone else.

12) What are the key risks associated with the SPP?

Every investment involves an element of risk and Eligible Shareholders should be aware that there are risks associated with share ownership.

If you apply to participate in the SPP, you should be aware, and accept the risk that the market price of Shares may vary at any time during the Offer period and existing Shares may trade at a price that is lower than the Issue Price. As such, it is possible that, up to or after the date you receive new Shares under the SPP, you may be able to buy Shares on the ASX at a lower price than under the SPP. We encourage you to seek your own professional advice regarding your participation in the SPP.

For other risks associated with an investment in the Company’s Shares, please refer to the Company’s prospectus dated 13 September 2019, pages 21‐25.

13) What else do I need to consider?

This SPP is not financial advice and has been prepared without taking into account the objectives, financial situation or the needs of individuals. Before making an investment decision, you should consider the appropriateness of the information having regard to your own objectives, financial situation and needs and seek such legal, financial and/or taxation advice as necessary or appropriate. A cooling‐off regime does not apply in relation to the acquisition of Shares under the SPP.

By accepting the Offer and applying for subscription of new Shares under the SPP, each Eligible Shareholder will be acknowledging that, Shares are a speculative investment and the price of Shares on ASX may change between the date of the Company announcing its intention to make an Offer and the date of issue of Shares under that Offer and that the value of the Shares received under the SPP may rise or fall accordingly.

The Board recommends that you obtain your own financial advice in relation to the Offer and consider price movements of Shares in the Company prior to accepting this Offer.

You are encouraged to read the SPP document carefully and in its entirety before making a decision on whether to participate in the SPP.

14) What do I do if I receive more than one Entitlement and Acceptance Form?

Eligible Shareholders who receive more than one Entitlement and Acceptance Form under the SPP, for example, because they hold Shares in more than one capacity, may apply on different Entitlement and Acceptance Forms for Shares but may not apply for Shares with an aggregate dollar amount exceeding $ 30,000.

15) How are refunds paid?

Refunds pursuant to the SPP may be paid under various circumstances. For example, if applications are made incorrectly the entire payment may be refunded, or if allocations are scaled back a partial refund may be made.

SHARE PURCHASE PLAN – TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Purpose

The purpose of the Share Purchase Plan ( SPP ) is to offer existing shareholders of SciDev Ltd ( SciDev or the Company ) the opportunity to acquire additional fully paid ordinary shares in the Company ( Shares ) at the Issue Price up to a maximum of $ 30,000 (when combined with any Shares issued under any share purchase SPP in the 12 months preceding the date of the SPP) without the need to pay brokerage costs and without the need for the Company to issue a prospectus. These SPP Terms and Conditions have been determined by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Shareholders eligible to participate

The right to participate in the SPP is optional and is only available to shareholders who are registered as holders of fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of SciDev at 7:00pm (AEST) on the Record Date of 15 July 2020 with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand ( Eligible Shareholders ).

The restrictions on eligibility under the SPP are in place because of the legal limitations on making or extending an offer of securities in some countries, the relatively small number of shareholders in those countries, the number and value of shares for which those shareholders would otherwise be entitled to subscribe and the cost of complying with regulatory requirements in those countries.

Participation in the SPP is optional and is subject to these Terms and Conditions. Offers made under the SPP are non‐renounceable (that is, Eligible Shareholders may not transfer their rights to any Shares offered under the SPP).

The maximum amount, which any Eligible Shareholder may apply for under the SPP, is $ 30,000. The Board may also determine at its discretion, the minimum amount for participation, the multiple of Shares to be offered under the SPP and the period the Offer is available to Eligible Shareholder and any policy related to scaling back in the event of oversubscriptions.

No fractions of new Shares will be issued.

Custodians, trustees and nominees

If you are an Eligible Shareholder and hold Shares as a custodian (as defined in ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 (refer below) ( Custodian ) or in any more specific ASIC relief granted to the Company in relation to the SPP), you may apply for up to the maximum number of new Shares for each beneficiary for whom you act as custodian ( Custodian Beneficiaries ), provided you annexe to your Entitlement and Acceptance Form a certificate to the Company ( Custodian Certificate ) confirming the following:

  • (a) either or both of the following:

  • (i) that you held Shares on behalf of one or more persons that are not custodians (each a Participating Beneficiary ); or

  • (ii) that another custodian ( Downstream Custodian ) holds beneficial interest in Shares on behalf of a Participating Beneficiary, and the Custodian holds the Shares to which those beneficial interests relate on behalf of the Downstream Custodian or another custodian,

at 7:00pm (AEST ) on the Record Date and that each Participating Beneficiary has subsequently instructed the following persons:

  • (iii) where sub‐paragraph (a)(i) applies – you; and

  • (iv) where sub‐paragraph (a)(ii) applies – the Downstream Custodian; to apply for Shares under the SPP on their behalf;

  • (b) the number of Participating Beneficiaries and their names and that their addresses are located in

Australia or New Zealand;

  • (c) that each Custodian Beneficiary is not in the United States and that you have not sent any material relating to the SPP to any person in the United States;

  • (d) in respect of each Participating Beneficiary:

  • (i) where sub‐paragraph (a)(i) applies – the number of Shares that you hold on behalf of each;

  • (ii) where sub‐paragraph (a)(ii) applies – the number of Shares to which the beneficial interests relate;

  • (e) in respect of each Participating Beneficiary:

  • (iii) where sub‐paragraph (a)(i) applies – the number or dollar amount of Shares that each Participating Beneficiary has instructed you to apply for on their behalf;

  • (iv) where sub‐paragraph (a)(ii) applies – the number or dollar amount of Shares that each Participating Beneficiary has instructed the Downstream Custodian to apply for on their behalf;

  • (f) that the application price for Shares applied for under the Offer for each Participating Beneficiary for whom you act in the prior 12 months does not exceed $ 30,000;

  • (g) that a copy of the written offer document was given to each Participating Beneficiary; and

  • (h) where you hold Shares on behalf of a Participating Beneficiary indirectly, through one or more interposed custodians, the name and address of each interposed custodian (including the Downstream Custodian).

For the purposes of ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 , you are a ‘custodian’ if you are a registered holder that:

  • holds an Australian financial services licence that allows you to perform custodial or depositary services or operate IDPS accounts;

  • is exempt from holding an Australian financial services licence with a specific custodian or depository authorisation or by relying on the Australian financial services licence of your master custodian under regulation 7.1.06(k) of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth) ;

  • is a trustee of a self‐managed superannuation fund;

  • is a trustee of superannuation master trusts;

  • is a responsible entity of IDPS‐like schemes; or

  • is noted on the Company’s register of members as holding the shares on account of another person.

If you hold Shares as a trustee or nominee for another person or persons but are not a Custodian as defined above, you cannot participate for beneficiaries in the manner described above. In this case, the rules for multiple single holdings (above) apply.

Custodians should complete and submit a Custodian Certificate when making an application on behalf of Participating Beneficiaries. To receive a Custodian Certificate you should contact the Company’s Share Registry, Boardroom Ltd, during business hours during the Offer period. If you would like further information on how to apply, you should contact the Company Secretary, Heath Roberts, on +61 419 473 925.
