25 February 2014

Dear Shareholder

On behalf of Smart Parking Limited (Smart Parking), I am pleased to invite you to participate in the recently announced 2 for 5 non-renounceable entitlement offer for new Smart Parking ordinary shares (New Shares) at an issue price of $0.15 per New Share (Entitlement Offer).

On Wednesday, 19 February 2014, Smart Parking announced its intention to raise approximately $12.5 million through an Entitlement Offer. The institutional accelerated component of the Entitlement Offer (Institutional Entitlement Offer) was successfully completed on Friday, 21 February 2014. This information booklet (Retail Offer Booklet) relates to the non-accelerated component of the Entitlement Offer (Retail Entitlement Offer).

The proceeds of the Entitlement Offer will be applied principally to sales and marketing, product development, funding key trial sites, paying down debt and strengthening Smart Parking's balance sheet. More detail is provided in Smart Parking's Investor Presentation lodged with the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) on Wednesday, 19 February 2014 (and included in this Retail Offer Booklet) and the benefits that are expected to flow from this initiative, for Smart Parking and its shareholders, are also described in that document.

Under the Retail Entitlement Offer, eligible retail shareholders have the opportunity to invest at the price of $0.15 per New Share, which is the same price as the institutional investors who participated in the Institutional Entitlement Offer (Entitlement) is set out in your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form that is enclosed with this Retail Offer Booklet.

If you take up your Entitlement in full, you can also apply for additional shares under a 'top-up' facility (refer to section 1 of this Retail Offer Booklet for more information).

The issue price of $0.15 per New Share represents a 9.1% discount to the last traded price of Smart Parking shares before the Entitlement Offer was announced (being $0.165 on 18 February 2014).

As a sophisticated investor I applied for my full entitlement under the Institutional Entitlement Offer and have acted as a sub-underwriter to the entire Entitlement Offer. The Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten by Baillieu Holst Ltd (the Underwriter).

The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable and will not be tradeable on the ASX or otherwise transferable. Shareholders who do not take up their Entitlement in full will not receive any value in respect of those Entitlements they do not take up. I encourage you to consider this offer carefully.

Other Information

This Retail Offer Booklet contains important information, including:

  • The Investor Presentation referred to above, which was released to the ASX on Wednesday, 19 February 2014, and provides information on Smart Parking, including a trading update.
  • instructions on how to apply, detailing how to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer if you choose to do so, and a timetable of key dates; and
  • instructions on how to take up all or part of your Entitlement.

A personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form which details your Entitlement, to be completed in accordance with the instructions contained therein, accompanies this Retail Offer Booklet.

The Retail Entitlement Offer closes at 5.00pm AEDT on Wednesday, 12 March 2014.

Please read in full the details on how to submit your application, which are set out in this Retail Offer Booklet.

You should also consult your stockbroker, solicitor, accountant or other professional adviser to evaluate whether or not to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer.

On behalf of the Board of Smart Parking, I encourage you to consider this investment opportunity and thank you for your ongoing support.

Yours sincerely

Chris Morris

Chairman Smart Parking Limited

1. THE RETAIL ENTITLEMENT OFFER

Eligible Retail Shareholders (as defined in Important Information (see Section 3 below)) are being offered the opportunity to subscribe for 2 New Shares for every 5 ordinary shares in Smart Parking (Existing Shares) held at 7.00pm (AEDT) on Monday, 24 February 2014 (Entitlement), at the issue price of $0.15 per New Share.

Eligible Retail Shareholders may also apply for New Shares in excess of their Entitlement (Additional New Shares). Please note that New Shares in excess of Entitlements will only be allocated to Eligible Retail Shareholders if, and to the extent that Smart Parking determines in its absolute discretion but subject to its shortfall allocation policy (as set out in "Arrangements with Finico Pty Ltd and potential effects on control" section of the Investor Presentation released to ASX on Wednesday, 19 February 2014) a copy of which is included in this Retail Offer Booklet (Allocation Principles) and having regard to the circumstances at the time of the close of the Retail Entitlement Offer. Any New Shares in excess of Entitlements will be limited to the extent that there are sufficient New Shares from Eligible Retail Shareholders who do not take up their full Entitlements. Subject to the foregoing, Smart Parking may apply any scale-back (in its absolute discretion).

The Retail Entitlement Offer is being made pursuant to provisions of the Corporations Act which allow certain rights issues to be made without a prospectus. As a result, it is important for Eligible Retail Shareholders to read and understand the information on Smart Parking and the Retail Entitlement Offer made publicly available, prior to accepting all or part of their Entitlement or applying for Additional New Shares. In particular, please refer to this Retail Entitlement Offer Booklet, Smart Parking's other periodic and continuous disclosure announcements to the ASX available at www.asx.com.au.

Your Entitlement is set out on the accompanying personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and has been calculated as 2 New Shares for every 5 Existing Shares you held as at the Record Date of 7.00pm (AEDT) on Monday, 24 February 2014 rounded up to the nearest whole New Share. If you have more than one holding of Existing Shares, you will be sent more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and you will have separate Entitlements for each separate holding. New Shares issued pursuant to the Retail Entitlement Offer will be fully paid and rank equally with existing Smart Parking ordinary shares on issue.

Note: the Entitlement stated on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form may be in excess of the actual Entitlement you may be permitted to take up where, for example, you are holding Existing Shares on behalf of a U.S. Person.

Nominees

The Retail Entitlement Offer is being made to all shareholders on the register of Smart Parking at 7:00pm (AEDT) on Monday, 24 February 2014 with an address in Australia or New Zealand and who did not participate in the Institutional Entitlement Offer that are not in the United States and are neither a U.S. Person nor acting for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person. Smart Parking is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder is acting as a nominee or the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of Existing Shares. Where any holder is acting as a nominee for a foreign person, that holder, in dealing with its beneficiary, will need to assess whether indirect participation by the beneficiary in the Retail Entitlement Offer is compatible with applicable foreign laws. Any person in the United States or any person that is or is acting for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person with a holding through a nominee may not participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer and the nominee must not take up any Entitlement or send any materials into the United States or to any person it knows to be a U.S. Person. Smart Parking is not able to advise on foreign laws.

2. HOW TO APPLY

If you wish to take up all or part of your entitlement, or you wish to apply for Additional New Shares, you can do either of the following:

Payment by BPAY®

If you wish to pay by BPAY®, please follow the instructions on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You can only make a payment via BPAY® if you are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY® transactions.

Please note that should you choose to pay by BPAY®:

  • You do not need to submit the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form;
  • If you do not pay for your full Entitlement, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of New Shares which is covered in full by your application monies; and
  • If you do pay for more than your full Entitlement, you are deemed to have applied for as many Additional New Shares as your excess amount will pay for in full (subject to any scale-back determined by Smart Parking in its absolute discretion).

It is your responsibility to ensure that your BPAY® payment is received by the share registry by no later than 5.00pm (AEDT) on Wednesday, 12 March 2014. You should be aware that your financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regards to electronic payment and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment.

If you are paying by Bpay®, please make sure to use the specific Biller Code and unique Customer Reference Number on the back of your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. If you receive more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, please only use the Customer Reference Number specific to the Entitlement on that form. If you inadvertently use the same Customer Reference Number for more than one of your Entitlements, you will be deemed to have applied only for New Shares (and Additional New Shares) on the Entitlement to which that Customer Reference Number applies.

Payment by cheque, bank draft or money order

If you wish to pay by cheque, bank draft or money order, you should complete your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form in accordance with the instructions on the Form and return it accompanied by a cheque, bank draft or money order in Australian currency for the amount of the application monies, payable to "Smart Parking Limited" and crossed "Not Negotiable".

Your cheque, bank draft or money order must be:

  • for an amount equal to $0.15 multiplied by the number of New Shares (and if applicable, Additional New Shares) that you are applying for; and
  • in Australian currency drawn on an Australian branch of a financial institution.

Cash payments will not be accepted. Receipts for payment will not be issued.

Shareholders who make payment via cheque, bank draft or money order should mail their completed personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form together with application monies using the reply paid or self-addressed envelope provided with this Booklet to:

Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited GPO Box 505 Melbourne VIC 3001 Australia

You should ensure that sufficient funds are held in relevant account(s) to cover the application monies. If the amount of your cheque for application monies (or the amount for which the cheque clears in time for allocation) is insufficient to pay in full for the number of New Shares (and if applicable, Additional New Shares) you have applied for in your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, you will be taken to have applied for such lower number of whole New Shares (and if applicable, Additional New Shares) as your cleared application monies will pay for (and to have specified that number of New Shares on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form). Alternatively, your application will not be accepted.

Representations, allotment and refunds

If you take no action, you will not be allocated New Shares and your Entitlement will lapse. Your Entitlement to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable and will not be tradeable or otherwise transferable. Shareholders who do not take up their Entitlements in full will not receive any payment or value for those Entitlements they do not take up.

By completing and returning your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form with application monies or making a payment by Bpay®, you will be deemed to have represented:

(a) that you are an Eligible Retail Shareholder (as defined in Important Information (see Section 3 below)); and

(b) on behalf of each person on whose account you are acting that: (i) you are not in the United States and are neither a U.S. Person nor acting for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person; (ii) you acknowledge that the New Shares (and any Additional New Shares) have not been and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdictions in the United States, or in any other jurisdiction outside Australia or New Zealand and accordingly, the New Shares (and any New Additional Shares) may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred except in accordance with an available exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws; and (iii) you have not and will not send any materials relating to the Retail Entitlement Offer to any person in the United States or that is, or is acting for the account or benefit of, a U.S. Person.

If you take up and pay for all or part of your Entitlement before the close of the Retail Entitlement Offer at 5.00pm (AEDT) on Wednesday, 12 March 2014, you will be allotted your New Shares on Thursday, 20 March 2014. If you apply for Additional New Shares then, subject to the application of the Allocation Principles, your application for Additional New Shares (in whole or part), you will be issued these on Thursday, 20 March 2014. Smart Parking's decision on the number of Additional New Shares to be allocated to you in accordance with the Allocation Principles will be final and binding. Smart Parking also reserves the right (in its absolute discretion) to reduce the number of New Shares (and if applicable, Additional New Shares) allocated to Eligible Retail Shareholders, or persons claiming to be Eligible Retail Shareholders, if their claims prove to be overstated or otherwise incorrect or if they fail to provide information to substantiate their claims.

Cash payments will not be accepted. Receipts for payment will not be issued.

Any application monies received for more than your final allocation of New Shares and Additional New Shares will be refunded to you as soon as practicable. No interest will be paid to applicants on any application monies received or refunded.

Applicants with queries on how to complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form should contact Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited as Share Registry on 1300 480 818.

Arrangements with Finico Pty Ltd and potential effects on control

Finico Pty Ltd (Finico), who owns approximately 19.91% of the issued capital in SPZ prior to the Entitlement Offer, and who's Director is Chris Morris, also a Director of SPZ, has entered into a sub-underwriting agreement with the underwriter of the Entitlement Offer.

Pursuant to that agreement, Finico has agreed to sub-underwrite up to $12.5 million of the Entitlement Offer (Finico Sub-underwriting Commitment) representing 100% of the Entitlement Offer.

The Underwriter has agreed to pay Finico a fee of 0.5% of the Shortfall Allocation of the Finico Sub-underwriting Commitment

The potential effect that the issue of new shares under the Entitlement Offer will have on the control of SPZ will depend in part on the number of New Shares that are allocated to Finico through the sub-underwriting commitment. This number will be reduced as described above.

If there is a shortfall of entitlement take-up under the Entitlement Offer such that Finico is required to subscribe for the full amount of its Finico Sub-underwriting Commitment, Finico would hold, and be in position to control, approximately 42.8% of the expanded capital of SPZ following the completion of the Entitlement Offer. See below a table outline the potential change in control on various take-up and sub-underwriting assumptions.

Fees:

•SPZ has agreed to pay to Baillieu Holst Ltd a gross fee of 2.0% on the amount raised under the Entitlement Offer in lieu of its role as Lead Manager and Underwriter.

•The Underwriter will pay away a fee of 0.5% for sub-underwriting commitments (outside of Finico) and a selling fee of 0.5% on successful shortfall placement stock

Arrangements with Finico Pty Ltd and potential effects on control

Finico's sub-underwriting commitment is considered by SPZ to be 'last resort' in nature. Finico will be allocated shortfall shares according to the allocation policy set out below:

Ineligible Securityholders

Nominee to administer Ineligible Securityholder entitlements

Some securityholders as determined by SPZ are not eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer due to securities law restrictions on the offer of entitlements in certain jurisdictions (Ineligible Securityholders)

If required to satisfy the Corporations Act conditions in connection with underwriting the Entitlement Offer, SPZ may appoint a nominee for Ineligible Securityholders. SPZ may issue the nominee with the right to subscribe for the New Shares that would have been available for subscription by Ineligible Securityholders had they been eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

  • •Entitlements will be offered (off-market) for sale by the nominee to sophisticated or professional and wholesale investors
  • •The nominee will distribute any proceeds of sale (above the Offer Price and net of expenses) proportionately to Ineligible Securityholders

Institutional bookbuild

Securityholders should note that the underwriter (whether in that capacity, as nominee in accordance with section 615 of the Corporations Act (if applicable) or otherwise) is not acting as agent for securityholders (including Ineligible Securityholders); manages the institutional bookbuild, and the sale process under section 615 of the Corporations Act in respect of the Offer (if applicable), for and at the request of SPZ only; owes no duties (fiduciary or otherwise) to securityholders (including Ineligible Securityholders); is not obliged to return any entitlements to, or act at the direction, or consider the interests, or the requests, of any securityholders (including Ineligible Securityholders); may determine in its discretion to whom it allocates entitlements in accordance with its arrangements with SPZ and subject to pro-rata entitlements of eligible securityholders under the Entitlement Offer; that there is no guarantee that any proceeds will be realised from the sale of entitlements in relation to any sale process under section 615 of the Corporations Act in respect of the Entitlement Offer (if applicable); and that it is not liable for failure to sell such entitlements at any particular price or at all.

Introduction

An investment in the Company is not risk free and prospective new investors should consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Offer, before deciding whether to apply for Securities. The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.

Technology Changes

A portion of the Company's business is centred on parking technology products, software and associated hardware. The technology industry is constantly evolving with new technologies and products which could act as substitutes for the products and services that the Group provides. There is no guarantee that the Group can keep up with technological developments within the industry and a failure to do so may have a negative effect on the Company's business and its ability to compete effectively within its target markets.

Software Programming and Technology and Internet Failure

The Company's parking technology products and software are technically advanced and rely on complex programming and features, with much of the software reliant on consistent and good connectivity to the internet. Any errors, bugs, vulnerabilities or defects in such software or products or an inability to access the internet could result in malfunction of the products or software non-performance of such products or software. Such malfunction or non-performance could negatively affect the performance of the Company's business.

Written Contracts

The terms and conditions in respect of the provision of parking management services in the UK to certain clients are not fully documented. Where practically and commercially possible management is implementing comprehensive written service level agreements however this is time consuming and there can be no guarantee that this process will be fully completed, or completed to the satisfaction of the Company. Consequently among others there exists a risk that such clients could terminate the provision of services by the Company without cause and with the Company being left with no contractual recourse.

Lead Times

The Company tenders for contracts with local government entities and councils for the provision of parking management as well as the installation and management of parking technology products. The time and resource taken from the tendering process through to the award and implementation of the contract can be extensive and subject to external review. As such significant delays can occur which have may have a negative effect on the Company's business.

Local Infrastructure

The Company's parking products utilise local telecommunications infrastructure. To the extent that such infrastructure is not reliable and accessible, or there are consistent periods of unreliability or inaccessibility, the Company's business may be adversely affected.

Legal Disputes

The Company is currently in dispute with the vendor of its UK parking business (Vendor) which it acquired in early 2012. The Vendor has lodged claims against the Company seeking various declarations in respect of the sale and purchase documentation (SPA) in respect of the acquisition including in respect of the way the acquisition accounts were prepared and disputing the Company's right to transfer certain shares in the Company previously controlled by the Vendor. The Company is vigorously defending such claims and in addition has initiated a number of claims against the Vendor pursuant to its rights under the SPA. The ultimate outcome of these legal disputes is unknown at this time and there is a risk that such claims may result in adverse financial consequences to the Company, and that the pursuit of such claims may divert resource from the Company's core business.

Competition

The Company competes with other car parking technology and parking management companies. Some of these companies have greater financial and other resources than the Company and, as a result, may be in a better position to compete for future business opportunities. The potential exists for the nature and extent of the competition to change rapidly, which may cause loss to the Company. In particular the Company operates in the parking management business in the United Kingdom, where it is a mature and competitive industry. There can be no assurance that the Company can compete with changes in the competition within the industry in which it operates. It is possible that new competitors may enter the car parking technology market which the Company that provide products which are similar to those that the Company currently provides or otherwise compete with the Company's developed technologies.

Assembly and Manufacturing

The Company currently assembles products within its premises in NZ. This poses health and safety risks to employees and the risk of accidents could compromise the company's capacity to staff ongoing installations.

The Company currently outsources manufacturing for its car parking technology products to manufacturers and suppliers based in New Zealand. Manufacturing encompasses various business risks including risks relating to the quality of the products manufactured and the inherent variable cost of manufacturing, particularly with respect to the cost of electrical componentry. These risks may impact on the performance of the business of Smart Parking.

Manufacturing Arrangements

Smart Parking utilises Nautech Electronics Limited (Nautech) in respect of its electronic componentry requirements. Smart Parking does not have a written agreement in place in respect of the supply of such products. If Nautech were to elect to halt the provision of such products to Smart Parking or produce products which were unacceptable to Smart Parking, in the absence of a written agreement Smart Parking may find it difficult to enforce legal remedies against Nautech which may ultimately impact the business of Smart Parking. This would also require the Company to source the electronic componentry from other providers. There is no guarantee that such componentry could be sourced at or less than the costs that Smart Parking currently sources these parts from Nautech.

Regulation

The parking management services industry in the UK where Smart Parking operates such business is generally highly regulated and 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 those legal jurisdictions which govern the Company's operations or contractual obligations, could impact adversely on the assets, operations and, ultimately, the financial performance of the Company and its shares. In addition, there is a commercial risk that legal action may be taken against the Company in relation to commercial matters.

Unforeseen Expenditure Risk

Expenditure may need to be incurred that has not been contemplated by the Offer. Although the Company is not aware of any such additional expenditure requirements, if such expenditure is subsequently incurred, this may adversely affect the expenditure proposals of the Company.

Economic Risks

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

Foreign Exchange

The Company currently conducts its operations across international borders, including at this time Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and the UK. In the future, a proportion of the Company's revenues, cash inflows, other expenses, capital expenditure and commitments may be denominated in foreign currencies, namely with costs and income likely to be mainly in NZ dollars, Australian dollars and GBP initially.

To comply with Australian reporting requirements the income, expenditure and cash flows of the Company will need to be accounted for in Australian dollars. This will result in the income, expenditure and cash flows of the Company being exposed to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between other currencies and the Australian dollar, as determined in international markets.

Additional Requirements for Capital

The Company requires capital in order to finance the manufacture and installation of its technology products. The Company's precise capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company's ability to generate income from its operations, the Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the Offer. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its expansion and development programmes as the case may be.

Reliance on Key Management

The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its senior management and key personnel. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these employees ceases their employment.

Management of Growth and Strategy

There is a risk that management of the Company will not be able to implement the Company's growth strategy after completion of the Offer. The capacity of the management to properly implement and manage the strategic direction of the Company may affect the Company's financial performance.

Share Market

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:

  • •general economic outlook;
  • •interest rates and inflation rates;
  • •currency fluctuations;
  • •changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
  • •the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
  • •terrorism or other hostilities.

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

Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares.

International Offer Restrictions

No overseas offer

No offer will be made to any holder with a registered address outside Australia or New Zealand. The distribution of this presentation in jurisdictions outside Australia may be restricted by law and any such restrictions should be observed. Any failure to comply with such restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws.
