2. RESOLUTION 1 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF APRIL PLACEMENT SHARES
2.1 General
As set out in Section 1.1, the Company issued 9,035,715 April Placement Shares at an issue price of $0.14 per Share to the April Placement Participants on 14 April 2025.
This Resolution therefore seeks Shareholder ratification of the April Placement Shares for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.
2.2 Listing Rule 7.1
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
The issue does not fit within any of the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12-month period following the date of the issue.
2.3 Listing Rule 7.4
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue.
8
2.4 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If this Resolution is passed, the issue will be excluded from the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of the issue.
If this Resolution is not passed, the issue will be included in the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the date of the issue.
2.5 Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Accordingly, if Shareholders approve the issue of Shares pursuant to this Resolution, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and the additional 10% annual capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
3.3 Item 7 of Section 611 of the Corporations Act
(a) Section 606 of the Corporations Act – Statutory Prohibition
Pursuant to section 606(1) of the Corporations Act, a person must not acquire a relevant interest in issued voting shares in a listed company if the person acquiring the interest does so through a transaction in relation to securities entered into by or on behalf of the person and because of the transaction, that person’s or someone else’s voting power in the company increases:
-
(i) from 20% or below to more than 20%; or
-
(ii) from a starting point that is above 20% and below 90%,
( Prohibition ).
(b) Voting Power
The voting power of a person in a body corporate is determined in accordance with section 610 of the Corporations Act. The calculation of a person’s voting power in a company involves determining the voting shares in the company in which the person and the person’s associates have a relevant interest.
(c) Associates
For the purposes of determining voting power under the Corporations Act, a person ( second person ) is an “associate” of the other person ( first person ) if:
(i) (pursuant to section 12(2) of the Corporations Act) the first person is a body corporate and the second person is:
-
(A) a body corporate the first person controls;
-
(B) a body corporate that controls the first person; or
-
(C) a body corporate that is controlled by an entity that controls the person;
-
(ii) the second person has entered or proposes to enter into a relevant agreement with the first person for the purpose of controlling or influencing the composition of the company’s board or the conduct of the company’s affairs; or
(iii) the second person is a person with whom the first person is acting or proposes to act, in concert in relation to the company’s affairs.
Associates are, therefore, determined as a matter of fact. For example where a person controls or influences the board or the conduct of a company’s business affairs, or acts in concert with a person in relation to the entity’s business affairs.
(d) Relevant Interests
Section 608(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a person has a relevant interest in securities if they:
- (i) are the holder of the securities;
11
(ii) have the power to exercise, or control the exercise of, a right to vote attached to the securities; or
(iii) have power to dispose of or control the exercise of a power to dispose of, the securities.
It does not matter how remote the relevant interest is or how it arises. If two or more people can jointly exercise one of these powers, each of them is taken to have that power.
In addition, section 608(3) of the Corporations Act provides that a person has a relevant interest in securities that any of the following has:
(i) a body corporate in which the person’s voting power is above 20%;
(ii) a body corporate that the person controls.
3.4 Reason section 611 Approval is Required
Item 7 of section 611 of the Corporations Act provides an exception to the Prohibition, whereby a person may acquire a relevant interest in a company’s voting shares with shareholder approval.
If the number of Thorney Conversion Shares set out in Section 3.1 are issued, the Thorney Investment Group will have a relevant interest in 62,985,129 Shares in the Company, representing 54.99% voting power in the Company. This assumes that no other Shares are issued, or other converting securities are exercised into Shares between now and the Conversion Date, including on conversion of any other Converting Notes contemplated in this Notice.
In the event that the Conversion Date is delayed beyond 31 July 2026, additional Interest Shares will be issued. Assuming an Interest Conversion Price of $0.08 per Share, an additional 10,274 Interest Shares would be issued for each day that conversion is delayed.
Accordingly, this Resolution seeks Shareholder approval for the purpose of section 611 Item 7 and all other purposes to enable the Company to issue the Thorney Conversion Shares to the Thorney Investment Group in accordance with the terms of the Thorney Converting Notes.
3.5 Specific Information required by section 611 Item 7 of the Corporations Act and ASIC Regulatory Guide 74
The following information is required to be provided to Shareholders under the Corporations Act and ASIC Regulatory Guide 74 in respect of obtaining approval for Item 7 of section 611 of the Corporations Act. Shareholders are also referred to the Independent Expert’s Report prepared by RSM annexed to this Explanatory Statement.
(a) Identity of the Acquirer and its Associates
It is proposed that the Thorney Investment Group will be issued Shares in accordance with the terms of the Thorney Notes, as set out in Sections 1.4 and 3.1 of this Explanatory Memorandum.
Other than as set out in this Notice, no associates of the Thorney Investment Group currently have or will have a relevant interest in the Company.
(b) Relevant Interest and Voting Power
The relevant interests of the Thorney Investment Group in Shares (both current, and following the issue of the Thorney Conversion Shares), together with the resulting voting power of the Thorney Investment Group, are set out in the tables in Section 3.1 above. Further details on the voting power of the Thorney Investment Group are set out in the Independent Expert’s Report prepared by RSM.
From the table set out in Section 3.1 above, based on the assumptions set out therein, it can be seen that the maximum relevant interest that the Thorney Investment Group will hold after the issue of the Thorney Conversion Shares is 62,985,129 Shares, and the maximum voting power that the Thorney Investment
12
Group will hold is 54.99%. This represents a maximum increase in voting power of 25.50% (being the difference between 29.49% and 54.99%).
(c) Reasons for the proposed issue of securities
As set out in Section 1.2 of this Explanatory Statement, the reason for the issue of the Thorney Notes was to raise $3,000,000 to enable the Company to continue the Company’s international expansion, develop a new app ecosystem, design and develop new hardware and for working capital and general corporate expenses.
The purpose for the issue of the Thorney Conversion Shares is to satisfy the Company’s obligations in respect of the Thorney Notes.

| Shares | Warrants | Incentive Rights | Converting Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current | 73,112,682 | 2 | 1,233,960 | 5,000,000 |

3.7 Disadvantages of the Issue
The Directors are of the view that the following non-exhaustive list of disadvantages may be relevant to a Shareholder’s decision on how to vote on this Resolution:
-
(a) the issue of the Thorney Conversion Shares will increase the voting power of the Thorney Investment Group from 29.49% to a maximum of 54.99%, reducing the voting power of non-associated Shareholders in aggregate from 70.51% to a minimum of 45.01%; and
-
(b) there is no guarantee that the Company’s Shares will not fall in value as a result of the issue of the Thorney Conversion Shares.
14
3.8 Independent Expert’s Report
The Independent Expert's Report prepared by RSM Corporate Australia Pty Ltd (a copy of which is attached as Annexure A to this Explanatory Statement) assesses whether the transactions contemplated by this Resolution are fair and reasonable to the nonassociated Shareholders of the Company.
The Independent Expert’s Report concludes that the transactions contemplated by this Resolution are not fair but reasonable to the non-associated Shareholders of the Company.
The Independent Expert notes that the key advantages of the proposal raised in this Resolution to the Company and existing Shareholders are as follows:
-
(a) Ability to pursue growth strategies;
-
(b) Interest rate savings;
-
(c) Going Concern;
-
(d) Preservation of Placement Capacity; and

(a) Existing Shareholders’ interest in the Company will be diluted as a result of the issue of Shares to the Thorney Investment Group; and
-
(b) The Proposed Transaction is not fair;
-
(c) The Thorney Notes are converting into shares in the Company at a discount to our assessed Fair Value of a Spacetalk Share prior to the Proposed Transaction on a control basis
-
(d) Potential impairment of ability to raise further equity capital; and
-
(e) Potential share price pressure.
Shareholders are urged to carefully read the Independent Expert’s Report to understand the scope of the report, the methodology of the valuation and the sources of information and assumptions made.
3.9 ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of Shares as approval is being obtained for the purposes of Item 7 of section 611 of the Corporations Act, which is an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 Accordingly, the issue of the Thorney Conversion Shares will not be included in the use of the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
3.10 Pro forma balance sheet
A pro forma balance sheet of the Company following completion of the issue of the Thorney Conversion Shares is set out in Schedule 1.
4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE PAM NOTES
4.1 Background

This Resolution therefore seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the PAM Notes.
4.2 Listing Rule 7.1
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 3.2 above.
The proposed issue falls within Exception 17 of Listing Rule 7.2. It therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.
15
Further, the issue of Shares to PAM on conversion of the PAM Notes, both on conversion of the Principal Amount and on conversion of interest, will fall within Exception 9 of Listing Rule 7.2. As such, no further Shareholder approval will be required in connection with the PAM Notes.
4.3 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the PAM Notes. If the Company is unable to proceed with the issue of the PAM Notes, the $1,000,000 reduction of secured debt held by PAM will not take effect and the Company will be in default under the Thorney Notes as the Company agreed to procure that at least $1,000,000 of its current liabilities be converted into Shares and/or Converting Notes and failure to do so would be considered an Event of Default.

Under the terms of the September Notes, the September Noteholders will be issued such number of Shares at the Conversion Price as will have a value equal to the value of the Principal Amount and interest accrued on the September Notes (September Conversion Shares).

Assuming the September Notes convert on 30 October 2025 at a Conversion Price of $0.11 per Share, the number of Shares to be issued will be 18,400,996 September Conversion Shares, being 18,181,818 Shares on conversion of the Principal Amount and 219,178 Shares on conversion of interest. In the event conversion occurs on the 30 October 2025 at $0.08 per Share (being the lowest floor price), a total of 25,301,370 Shares would be issued, being 25,000,000 Shares on conversion of the Principal Amount and 301,370 Shares on conversion of interest. |

The Non-Associated Shareholders Spacetalk Limited Level 2, 104 Frome Street Adelaide SA 5000
Dear Non-Associated Shareholders,
Independent Expert’s Report
Introduction
This Independent Expert’s Report (the “Report” or “IER” ) has been prepared to accompany the Notice of General Meeting and Explanatory Statement ( “Notice” or “NoM” ) to be provided to shareholders for a General Meeting of Spacetalk Limited ( “Spacetalk” or the “Company” ) to be held on or around 5 November 2025, at which shareholder approval will be sought for (among other things) the issue of ordinary shares in Spacetalk ( “Shares” ) to TIGA Trading Pty Ltd ( “TIGA” ) and Thorney Technologies Ltd ( “TEK” ), members of the Thorney Investment Group ( “TIG” or “Thorney” ) as payment of the accrued interest on the Thorney Notes (defined below) and upon conversion of the Thorney Notes (the “Proposed Transaction” ).
A more detailed discussion of the Proposed Transaction is set out in Section 1 of this report.
Purpose of the report
On 11 July 2025, Spacetalk announced to the Australian Securities Exchange ( “ASX” ) that it had secured $3.0m in funding from its largest shareholder, Thorney (being $2.0m from TIGA and $1.0m from TEK) in the form of unsecured converting notes (“ Thorney Notes ”).
The Thorney Notes have a face value of $1.00 and accrue interest at 10% per annum (the “Accrued Interest” ). The Accrued Interest is to be repaid through the issue of Shares on a quarterly basis (the “Interest Shares” ), subject to prior shareholder approval, at a conversion price of the greater of:
-
$0.08 per Share; or
-
the volume weighted average price ( “VWAP” ) per Share during the relevant quarter.
The face value of the Thorney Notes is subject to mandatory conversion into Shares (the “Thorney Notes Shares” ) at the maturity date of 31 July 2026 (“ Conversion Date ”), provided that Thorney may elect to convert the Thorney Notes early, subject to prior shareholder approval, at a conversion price of the lower of:
-
$0.14 per share; or
-
the issue price of Shares under a capital raising of at least $1,500,000,
subject to a floor price of $0.08 (“ Conversion Price ”). As a result of the conditional placement announced to the ASX on 15 September 2025 ( “September Placement ”), the Conversion Price is $0.11 at the date of this Report.
Thorney is a substantial shareholder in Spacetalk, and, together with its associates, holds a relevant interest in 21,560,471 Shares, representing a 29.49% voting power in the Company. As the conversion of the Thorney Notes will cause Thorney’s voting power in the Company to increase from a starting point above 20%, shareholder approval for the Proposed Transaction is being sought for the purpose of item 7 of Section 611 ( “s611(7)” ) of the Corporations Act of 2001 ( “Act” ).
The Directors of the Company have requested that RSM Corporate Australia Pty Ltd ( “RSM” ), being independent and qualified for the purpose, express an opinion as to whether the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable to Spacetalk shareholders not associated with the Proposed Transaction ( “Non-Associated Shareholders” ).
Spacetalk Limited | Independent Expert’s Report | Page 4
Accordingly, we have prepared this Report for the purpose of stating, in our opinion, whether or not the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable to Non-Associated Shareholders and to set out the reasons for that opinion.
The request for approval of the Proposed Transaction is included as Resolution 2 in the Notice. Resolution 2 as extracted from the Notice is included below for reference.
Resolution 2 – Approval of issue of Shares on conversion of Thorney Notes
To consider and, if thought fit, to pass, with or without amendment, the following resolution as an ordinary resolution:
“That, for the purposes of section 611 (Item 7) of the Corporations Act and for all other purposes, approval is given for the Company to issue up to:
-
(a) that number of Principal Shares as is calculated by dividing the Principal Amount of the Thorney Notes by the Conversion Price; and
-
(b) that number of Interest Shares as is calculated by dividing the interest accrued on the Thorney Notes by the Interest Conversion Price,
to members of the Thorney Investment Group, which will result in an increase to the Thorney Investment Group’s voting power in the Company beyond 20% on the terms and conditions set out in the Explanatory Statement.”
The Notice includes certain other resolutions to be voted on by shareholders in the General Meeting. When considering the fairness and reasonableness of the Proposed Transaction, we have only considered the impact of Resolution 2, noting it is not subject to the approval of any other resolution.
Our assessment of the Proposed Transaction was based on a valuation date of 18 September 2025. Subsequent to this date, two announcements were made to the ASX which impacted the outstanding share capital and other equity instruments of the Company (22 September 2025 and 29 September 2025, respectively). We have considered the impact of these announcements on our fairness assessment, and note that the dilutionary impact of the 22 September 2025 announcement has already been considered in our report, while the dilutionary impact of the 29 September 2025 announcement is considered immaterial to our concluded valuation range and do not affect our fairness conclusion.
This Report represents general financial product advice only and has been prepared without taking into consideration the circumstances of individual Spacetalk shareholders. The ultimate decision whether to accept the Proposed Transaction should be based on each shareholders’ assessment of their circumstances, including their risk profile, liquidity preference, tax position, and expectations as to value and future market conditions. If in doubt about the Proposed Transaction or matters dealt with in this Report, Shareholders should seek independent professional advice.
Summary of opinion
In our opinion, and for the reasons set out in Section 7 and Section 8 of this report, the Proposed Transaction is not fair but reasonable for Non-Associated Shareholders.
We have formed this opinion for the reasons set out below.
Approach
In assessing whether the Proposed Transaction is “fair and reasonable” to Non-Associated Shareholders, we have considered Australian Securities and Investment Commission ( “ASIC” ) Regulatory Guide 111 – Content of expert reports ( “RG 111” ), which provides specific guidance as to how an expert is to appraise transactions
Where an issue of shares by a company otherwise prohibited under section 606 of the Corporations Act 2001 is approved under s611(7), and the effect on the company shareholding is comparable to a takeover bid, such as the Proposed Transaction, RG 111 states that the transaction should be analysed as if it was a takeover bid.
RG 111 provides ASIC’s views on how an expert can help security holders make informed decisions about transactions. Specifically, it gives guidance to experts on how to evaluate whether or not a proposed transaction is fair and reasonable.
Therefore, consistent with the guidance set out in RG 111, we have considered whether the Proposed Transaction is “fair” to NonAssociated Shareholders by assessing and comparing:
-
the Fair Value of a Share on a controlling basis prior to the Proposed Transaction; with
-
the Fair Value of a Share on a non-controlling basis immediately post the Proposed Transaction.
Our assessment of the Fair Value of a Share has been prepared on the following basis:
- “the value that should be agreed in a hypothetical transaction between a knowledgeable, willing but not anxious buyer and a knowledgeable, willing but not anxious seller, acting at arm’s length”.
==> picture [168 x 82] intentionally omitted <==
Spacetalk Limited | Independent Expert’s Report | Page 5
In accordance with RG 111, we have considered whether the Proposed Transaction is "reasonable" to Non-Associated Shareholders by undertaking an analysis of the other factors relating to the Proposed Transaction which are likely to be relevant to Non-Associated Shareholders, in their decision as to whether or not to accept the Proposed Transaction.
Further information on the approach we have employed in assessing whether the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable to Non-Associated Shareholders is set out in Sections 7 and 8 of this report.
Fairness opinion
In assessing whether we consider the Proposed Transaction to be fair to Non-Associated Shareholders, we have valued a Share prior to the Proposed Transaction on a controlling basis and compared it to value of a Share immediately following the Proposed Transaction on a non-controlling basis, to determine whether a Non-Associated Shareholder would be better or worse off should the Proposed Transaction be approved.
Our assessment is set out in the table below.
Table 1 Valuation Summary
| Low | High |
Preferred |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Fair Value of a Share prior to the Proposed Transaction (control basis) | $0.20 | $0.26 | $0.23 |
| Fair Value of a Share immediately following the Proposed Transaction (non- controlling basis, on conversion) |
$0.12 | $0.18 | $0.15 |
Source: RSM analysis
The above comparison is presented graphically below.

$0.00 $0.05 $0.10 $0.15 $0.20 $0.25 $0.30 $0.35
----- End of picture text -----
Source: RSM analysis
The table and chart above indicate that the Fair Value of a Share (on a non-controlling basis) immediately after the Proposed Transaction is less than the Fair Value of a Share (on a controlling basis) prior to the Proposed Transaction.
In accordance with the guidance set out in ASIC RG 111, and in the absence of any other relevant information, for the purposes of s611(7) of the Act, we consider the Proposed Transaction to be not fair to the Non-Associated Shareholders of Spacetalk.
Reasonableness opinion
RG 111 establishes that an offer is reasonable if it is fair. It might also be reasonable if, despite not being fair, there are sufficient reasons for security holders to accept the offer in the absence of a higher bid before the offer closes.
As such, we have also considered the following factors in relation to the reasonableness aspect of the Proposed Transaction:
-
the future prospects of the Company if the Proposed Transaction does not proceed;
-
the trading of Spacetalk’s Shares following the announcement of the Proposed Transaction;
==> picture [168 x 82] intentionally omitted <==
Spacetalk Limited | Independent Expert’s Report | Page 6
-
the potential advantages and disadvantages of the Proposed Transaction for the Non-Associated Shareholders, including the specific terms of the Proposed Transaction; and
-
the existence of alternative proposals;
Future Prospects of Spacetalk if the Proposed Transaction Does Not Proceed
If the Proposed Transaction does not proceed as a result of it not being approved by the Non-Associated Shareholders, the Company will have the opportunity to continue to seek shareholder approval for the issue of Interest Shares and Thorney Notes Shares until July 2026. If shareholder approval is not obtained for:
-
the issue of Interest Shares at any interest payment date, the Company’s obligation to issue Shares for that quarter will be deferred until such time as the Company has obtained requisite shareholder approvals, provided that if shareholder approval has not been obtained on the Conversion Date the full value of any accrued but unpaid interest shall be payable in cash on the Redemption Date.
-
the issue of Thorney Notes Shares at the Conversion Date, the Company will be required to redeem the Thorney Notes (principal and any accrued but unpaid interest) in cash on the Redemption Date.
Response of the market to the announcement of the Proposed Transaction
The Company’s VWAP of $0.142 post the announcement of the Proposed Transaction was lower than the 30-day VWAP prior to the announcement of the Proposed Transaction of $0.168.
Notwithstanding the relatively low liquidity of the Company's shares, we consider that the market has reacted slightly unfavourably to the announcement of the Proposed Transaction.
Advantages and disadvantages of approving the Proposed Transaction
In assessing whether Non-Associated Shareholders are likely to be better off if the Proposed Transaction is approved than if it does not, we have also considered various advantages and disadvantages that are likely to accrue to Non-Associated Shareholders.
The key advantages of the Proposed Transaction are outlined below.
Table 2 Advantages of the Proposed Transaction
| Advantage | Details |
|---|---|
| The funds raised from the issue of the Thorney Notes have been, and will continue to be, applied | |
| towards the Company’s international expansion, the development of a new app ecosystem, the design | |
| Ability to pursue growth strategies | and development of new hardware and for general working capital and corporate expenses. If the Proposed Transaction is approved and the Thorney Notes (principal and any accrued but unpaid |
| interest) convert to Shares, Spacetalk will not have an obligation to repay the Thorney Notes in cash, | |
| allowing the Company to pursue the above growth strategies without the need to raise additional capital. | |
| We consider the interest rate of 10% per annum accruing on the Thorney Notes, with interest payable | |
| quarterly through the issuance of ordinary shares, to be below a commercial market rate at which | |
| Interest rate savings | Spacetalk could obtain borrowings on the same terms, with no conversion features. |
| Refer toAppendix Efor our assessment of market rate of interest. | |
| If the Proposed Transaction is approved, the material uncertainty related to going concern will be | |
| Going Concern | alleviated in the short term, especially if market conditions deteriorate between the date of this Report and 30 June 2026. |
| Approval under s611(7) of the Act exempts the issue from ASX Listing Rule 7.1, preserving the | |
| Preservation of Placement Capacity | Company’s ability to issue up to 25% of its capital over a 12-month period (subject to certain conditions) in future placements without further Non-Associated Shareholder approval. |
| Avoidance of issuing direct equity | Avoiding direct equity issuance through the Thorney Notes and Thorney Options in the Proposed |
| Transaction allows the Company to raise funds without immediately setting a valuation which may be | |
| unrepresentative of its future earnings. As the Company approaches profitability, its valuation is likely to | |
| improve, making delayed equity conversion more favourable. |

| As the Fair Value of a Share (on a non-controlling basis) immediately after the Proposed Transaction is | |

| With a shareholding exceeding 25%, Thorney will be able to unilaterally block schemes of arrangement | |
| and special resolutions. This will reduce Non-Associated Shareholders’ ability to influence decisions | |
| such as the composition of the Board, the strategic direction of the Company and the acquisition and | |
| disposal of assets. The issue of the Thorney Conversion Shares and Interest Shares will increase the | |
| voting power of the Thorney Investment Group from 29.49% to a maximum of 54.99%, or 32.97% on a | |
| fully diluted basis, reducing the voting power of Non-Associated Shareholders in aggregate from 70.51% | |
| to a minimum of 45.01%, or 67.03% on a fully diluted basis. | |
| Further, per Section 611 of the Corporations Act, acquisitions that are exempt of the Corporations Act | |
| include an acquisition by a person if: | |
| Dilutionary impact | (a) “Throughout the 6 months before the acquisition that person, or any other person, has had voting power in the company of at least 19%; and |
| (b) As a result of the acquisition, none of the persons referred to in paragraph (a) would have | |
| voting power in the company more than 3 percentage points higher than they had 6 months | |
| before the acquisition.” | |
| Under this ruling, Thorney would be able to increase its stake in the Company up to 3% every 6 months | |
| without requiring shareholder approval or launching a formal takeover bid. | |
| In the event that Thorney were to incrementally increase its holding to over 50%, it would gain the ability | |
| to appoint or remove board members, influence the strategic direction, and ultimately assume control of | |
| the Company. | |
| Potential impairment of ability to raise further equity capital |
To the extent needed by Spacetalk in the future, the existence of a single Shareholder holding up to 54.99% of the issued equity of the Company, or 32.97% on a fully diluted basis, could make raising further equity more difficult. |
| The conversion of the Thorney Notes and issue of Shares as payment of the Accrued Interest is | |
| Potential share price pressure | expected to have a dilutionary impact (as discussed above), reducing existing shareholders’ ownership and earnings per share. Anticipating this impact, investors may sell their holdings in advance, which can |
| lead to downwardpressure on the shareprice. |

Alternative proposals to the Proposed Transaction
We are unaware of any alternative proposal at the current time that will provide the Non-Associated Shareholders of Spacetalk a greater benefit than the Proposed Transaction.
Conclusion on Reasonableness
In our opinion, the position of the Non-Associated Shareholders if the Proposed Transaction is approved is more advantageous than the position if it is not approved. Therefore, in the absence of any other relevant information and/or a superior offer, we consider that the Proposed Transaction is reasonable for the Non-Associated Shareholders of Spacetalk.
An individual shareholder’s opinion in relation to the Proposed Transaction may be influenced by his or her individual circumstances. If in doubt, shareholders should consult an independent advisor.

1. Summary of the Proposed Transaction
1.1 Overview
On 11 July 2025, Spacetalk announced to the ASX that it had secured $3.0m in funding from its largest shareholder, Thorney, in the form of the Thorney Notes.
The Thorney Notes have a face value of $1.00 and accrue interest at 10% per annum. The Accrued Interest is to be repaid through the issue of the Interest Shares on a quarterly basis, subject to prior shareholder approval, at a conversion price of the greater of:
-
$0.08 per Share; or
-
the VWAP per Share during the relevant quarter.
The face value of the Thorney Notes is subject to mandatory conversion into the Thorney Notes Shares at the Conversion Date, provided that Thorney may elect to convert the Thorney Notes early, subject to prior shareholder approval, at a conversion price of the lower of:
-
$0.14 per share; or
-
the issue price of Shares under a capital raising of at least $1,500,000,
subject to a floor price of $0.08. As a result of the September Placement, the Conversion Price is $0.11 at the date of this Report.
Thorney is a substantial shareholder in Spacetalk, and, together with its associates, holds a relevant interest in 21,560,471 Shares, representing a 29.49% voting power in the Company. As the conversion of the Thorney Notes will cause Thorney’s voting power in the Company to increase from a starting point above 20%, shareholder approval for the Proposed Transaction is being sought for the purpose of s611(7) of the Act.
1.2 Key terms of the Thorney Notes
We have set out below the detailed terms of the Thorney Notes.
Table 4 Key terms of the Thorney Notes
| Term | Details |
|---|---|
| Face Value | $1.00 per Thorney Note (“Face Value”). |
| Issue Date | 14 July 2025 |
| Conversion Date | 31 July 2026, provided that the holder may elect to convert the Thorney Notes early, subject to prior |
| shareholder approval having been received for the issue or conversion of the Thorney Notes. | |
| Security | Unsecured |
| Conversion Price | The Principal Amount of each Thorney Note will convert into Shares at a conversion price equal to |
| the lesser of: | |
| (a) $0.14; or | |
| (b) the issue price of Shares under any equity raises prior to the Conversion Date under which the | |
| Company raises at least $1,500,000 (“Capital Raising”), | |
| (“Conversion Price”), subject to the Floor Price (defined below). | |
| Floor Price | $0.08 |
| Securities attaching to capital raises | If options or other equity securities are issued as attaching securities under a capital raising that |
| results in a change to the Conversion Price, upon conversion of the Thorney Notes, each Noteholder | |
| will also receive attaching securities on the same ratio and with the same terms as are issued under | |
| the Capital Raising. The Company will liaise with ASX and seek shareholder approval, if necessary, | |
| to the extent that any capital raising may result in an issue of converting securities on conversion of | |
| the Thorney Notes, prior to completing any such Capital Raising. | |
| Interest | Interest shall accrue at the rate of 10% per annum from date of issue of the Thorney Notes, until the |
| Thorney Notes are either redeemed or converted. | |
| Interest will be payable through an issue of Interest Shares on the date that is 5 business days | |
| following the end of each calendar quarter (“Interest Payment Date”) at an issue price per Share | |
| equal to the greater of $0.08 or the VWAP for the relevant calendar quarter (“Interest Conversion | |
| Price”). | |
| If shareholder approval is not obtained for the issue of Shares to Thorney on conversion of Accrued | |
| Interest, Accrued Interest will be satisfied through a cash payment. |
==> picture [168 x 82] intentionally omitted <==
Spacetalk Limited | Independent Expert’s Report | Page 11
| Term | Details |
|---|---|
| Redemption | The Company will be required to redeem the Thorney Notes for their Face Value (plus any unpaid |
| Accrued Interest) within 10 business days of a demand by Thorney on the occurrence of an Event of | |
| Default (as defined below) which has not been remedied within the prescribed time (“Redemption | |
| Date”). | |
| EarlyRedemption | The Company may redeem the whole or part of the Thorney Notes for their Face Value (plus any |
| accrued but unpaid interest) on any day prior to the Conversion Date or Redemption Date, on giving | |
| not less than 14 days prior written notice to the Noteholder (“Prepayment Notice”). | |
| If a Prepayment Notice is issued, the Noteholder may elect to convert the Thorney Notes (subject to | |
| shareholder approval, to the extent not already obtained) and in the event shareholder approval is | |
| not forthcoming the Company must redeem the Thorney Notes within 5 business days following the | |
| shareholder meeting. | |
| Conversion | Upon conversion, the number of Shares to be issued will be calculated by dividing the Face Value of |
| the Thorney Notes by the Conversion Price and dividing any accrued but unpaid interest by the | |
| applicable Interest Conversion Price, with any fractional Shares rounded down to the nearest whole | |
| number. | |
| A Noteholder cannot be issued Shares on conversion if it would result in the Noteholder (or their | |
| associates) holding a relevant interest in 19.99% or more of the Company's Shares, unless an | |
| exemption under section 611 of the Corporations Act applies, including for the avoidance of doubt | |
| Shareholder approval under item 7 of section 611 of the Corporations Act. | |
| Subsequent Capital Raising | If, at any time prior to the Conversion Date, the Company issues notes convertible into Shares to |
| any other investor on terms more favourable than those contained in the Thorney Notes | |
| agreements, the Company shall promptly notify Thorney of such issuance and Thorney shall have | |
| 10 business days to elect to have the terms of the Thorney Note agreements amended to match the | |
| more favourable terms offered to such other investor, with such changes as are required to ensure | |
| that all requisite shareholder and regulatory approvals are incorporated. | |
| Conversion of Existing Liabilities | The Company must, on or before the Conversion Date, procure that at least $1,000,000 of liabilities |
| existing as at the date of the Thorney Notes agreements with Thorney are converted into Shares | |
| and/or Thorney Notes and failure to do so shall be considered an Event of Default (as defined | |
| below). | |
| Reconstruction | In the event the Company undertakes a reconstruction of its issued capital, the number of Shares |
| issued on conversion shall be adjusted accordingly to ensure the parties’ rights and liabilities are not | |
| affected. | |
| Event of Default | It is an event of default, whether or not it is within the control of the Company, where: |
| (a) Failure to pay or convert: the Company fails to pay or repay any amount due by it under the | |
| Thorney Notes agreement and the Company does not remedy the failure within 7 days, after | |
| receipt by the Company of a notice from Thorney specifying the failure; | |
| (b) Remediable failure: the Company fails to perform or observe any material undertaking, | |
| obligation or agreement expressed in the Thorney Notes agreement and the Company does not | |
| remedy such failure within 14 days, after receipt by the Company of a notice from Thorney | |
| specifying the failure; | |
| (c) Non-remediable failure: the Company fails to perform or observe any other material | |
| undertaking, obligation or agreement expressed or implied in the Thorney Notes agreement | |
| and that failure is not remediable; or | |
| (d) Insolvency event: an insolvency event occurs in respect of the Company | |
| (together, the“Events of Default”). |

1.3 Rationale for the Proposed Transaction
The capital raised from the conversion of the Thorney Notes will enable Spacetalk to continue its international expansion, develop a new app ecosystem, design and develop new hardware and for working capital and general corporate expenses .

1.4 Impact of Proposed Transaction on Spacetalk’s Capital Structure
Completion of the Proposed Transaction would result in the dilution of Non-Associated Shareholders’ interests from 70.51% to 45.01%, or 67.03% on a fully diluted basis.
Table 5 Capital Structure Pre and Post the Proposed Transaction
| No. of | % | |
|---|---|---|
| Ordinary Shares | Ownership | |
| Capital structure prior to the Proposed Transaction | ||
| Non-Associated Shareholders | 51,552,211 | 70.51% |
| Thorney | 21,560,471 | 29.49% |
| Total ordinary shares prior to the Proposed Transaction | 73,112,682 | 100.0% |
| Capital structure following issuance of the Thorney Notes Shares and Interest Shares | ||
| Non-Associated Shareholders | 51,552,211 | 45.01% |
| Thorney | 62,985,129 | 54.99% |
| Capital structure following issuance of the Thorney Notes Shares and Interest Shares | 114,537,340 | 100.0% |
| Capital structure following issuance of the Thorney Notes Shares and Interest Shares, | ||
| the exercise of the Listed Options, PRs, and Warrants, and the passing of Resolutions 1, | ||
| 3, 4, and 5 of the NoM | ||
| Non-Associated Shareholders | 128,047,735 | 67.03% |
| Thorney | 62,985,129 | 32.97% |

| the exercise of the Listed Options, PRs, and Warrants, and the passing of Resolutions 1, | 191,032,864 |
100.0% |
| 3, 4, and 5 of the NoM (fully diluted) | ||
| Source: RSM analysis, 18 September 2025 | ||
| Note: the fully diluted shareholding considers the Shares to be issued on the exercise of the Listed Options and Warrants, and the portion of | PRs vested at the | |
| date of this Report, as well as the subsequent conversions and/or placements of Shares after approval of Resolutions 1, 3, 4, and 5 of the NoM. The above table | ||
| does not include the impact of the two announcements made to the ASX on 22 September 2025 and 29 September 2025. |
We note that the impact of Proposed Transaction on Spacetalk’s capital structure is subject to change based on the following:
-
Changes to the deemed conversion price of the Thorney Notes Shares, which can be influenced by subsequent capital raisings and the terms of any future options issued;
-
Changes to the deemed conversion price of the Interest Shares, which can be influenced by the VWAP of Spacetalk in future quarters; and
-
Changes to the Company’s capital structure leading up to the Conversion Date.
Our assessment of the Proposed Transaction is based primarily on the conversion of the Thorney Notes and Accrued Interest into Shares at the current terms.
In calculating Thorney’s fully diluted shareholding, we have assumed the issuance of a total of 41,424,658 Shares in the form of Thorney Notes Shares and Interest Shares, calculated using the Floor Price of $0.08 to illustrate the greatest potential number of Shares to be issued to Thorney on conversion.
Based on the above, Thorney’s voting interest in Spacetalk will increase from 29.49% to 54.99%, or 32.97% on a fully diluted basis, which includes the impact of the issuance of Shares upon exercise of the Listed Options, PRs, and Warrants, and the passing of Resolutions 1, 3, 4, and 5 of the Notice.

2. Scope of the Report
2.1 Purpose of this Report
Section 606 of the Act prohibits a person from acquiring a relevant interest in the issued voting shares of a public company if the acquisition results in that person’s voting interest in the company increasing from a starting point that is below 20% to an interest that is above 20%. Completion of the Proposed Transaction will result in TIG increasing their interest in Spacetalk from 29.49% to approximately 54.99%, or 32.97% on a fully diluted basis.
Under s611(7) of the Act, the prohibition contained in Section 606 does not apply if the acquisition has been approved by the NonAssociated Shareholders of the company.
Accordingly, the Company is seeking approval from the Non-Associated Shareholders for Resolution 1 under s611(7) of the Act.
S611(7) of the Act states that shareholders must be given all information that is material to the decision on how to vote at the meeting. RG 111 advises the requirement to commission an Independent Expert’s Report in such circumstances and provides guidance on the content.
2.2 Regulatory guidance
In assessing whether the Proposed Transaction is “fair” and “reasonable”, we have given regard to the views expressed by the ASIC in RG 111.
RG 111 provides ASIC’s views on how an expert can help security holders make informed decisions about transactions. Specifically, it gives guidance to experts on how to evaluate whether or not a proposed transaction is fair and reasonable.
RG 111 states that the expert’s report should focus on:
-
the issues facing the security holders for whom the report is being prepared; and
-
the substance of the transaction rather than the legal mechanism used to achieve it.
RG 111 applied the “fair and reasonable” test as two distinct criteria in the circumstance of a takeover offer, stating:
-
a takeover offer is considered “fair” if the value of the offer price or consideration is equal to or greater than the value of the securities that are the subject of the offer; and
-
a takeover is considered “reasonable” if it is fair, or where the offer is “not fair” it may still be “reasonable” if the expert believes that there are sufficient reasons for security holders to accept the offer.
2.3 Adopted basis of evaluation
Consistent with the guidelines in RG 111 as summarised above, we have considered whether the Proposed Transaction is “fair” to Non-Associated Shareholders by assessing and comparing:
-
the Fair Value of a Share on a controlling basis prior to the Proposed Transaction; with
-
the Fair Value of a Share on a non-controlling basis immediately post the Proposed Transaction.
Our assessment of the Fair Value of a Share in Spacetalk has been prepared on the following basis:
“the value that should be agreed in a hypothetical transaction between a knowledgeable, willing but not anxious buyer and a knowledgeable, willing but not anxious seller, acting at arm’s length”.
In accordance with RG 111, we have considered whether the Proposed Transaction is "reasonable" to Non-Associated Shareholders by undertaking an analysis of the other factors relating to the Proposed Transaction which are likely to be relevant to Non-Associated Shareholders in their decision as to whether or not to accept the Proposed Transaction.
We have also considered whether the Proposed Transaction is “reasonable” by undertaking an analysis of the following factors:
-
the future prospects of the Company if the Proposed Transaction does not proceed;
-
the trading of Spacetalk’s Shares following the announcement of the Proposed Transaction;
-
the potential advantages and disadvantages of the Proposed Transaction for the Non-Associated Shareholders, including the specific terms of the Proposed Transaction; and
-
the existence of alternative proposals;
Our assessment of the Proposed Transaction is based on economic, market and other conditions prevailing at the date of this Report.

We note that the above split is largely consistent with FY24, where the split of revenue between Devices, MVNO, Apps, Schools, and Seniors was 47%, 26%, 16%, 10%, and 0.3%, respectively.
-
Cost of sales increased at a CAGR of 22.2% from $6.6m in FY22 to $9.9m in FY25.
-
Gross margin remained stable in the Historical Period, at an average of 50%.
Expenses
- Total operating expenses decreased at a CAGR of 8.1% from $15.2m in FY23 to $13.2m in FY25. This was due primarily to a large impairment expense incurred in FY23, as well as decreases in costs related to debt restructuring.
EBITDA
- Spacetalk generated significant EBITDA losses over the Historical Period, ranging from an EBITDA loss of $8.4m in FY23 to an EBITDA loss of $2.6m in FY25. The reduction in losses at an EBITDA level was driven by the decrease in operating expenses.

4. Valuation Approach
4.1 Valuation methodologies
RG 111 proposes that it is generally appropriate for an expert to consider using the following valuation methodologies:
-
the discounted cash flow ( “DCF” ) method and the estimated realisable value of any surplus and non-operating assets and liabilities;
-
the application of earnings multiples to the estimated future maintainable earnings added to the estimated realisable value of any surplus assets surplus and non-operating assets and liabilities;
-
the amount which would be available for distribution on an orderly realisation of assets;
-
the quoted price for listed securities; and
-
any recent genuine offers received.
We consider that the valuation methodologies proposed by RG 111 can be split into three valuation methodology categories, as follows.
Market based methods
Market based methods estimate the fair value by considering the market value of a company’s securities or the market value of comparable companies. Market based methods include;
-
the quoted price for listed securities ( “QMP” ); and
-
industry specific methods.
The recent quoted price for listed securities method provides evidence of the fair value of a company’s securities where they are publicly traded in an informed and liquid market.
Industry specific methods usually involve the use of industry rules of thumb to estimate the fair value of a company and its securities. Generally, rules of thumb provide less persuasive evidence of the fair value of a company than other market-based valuation methods because they may not account for company specific risks and factors.
Income based methods
Income based methods estimate value by calculating the present value of a company’s estimated future stream of earnings or cash flows. Income based methods include:
-
discounted cash flow;
-
capitalisation of future maintainable earnings ( “CFME” ).
The DCF technique has a strong theoretical basis, valuing a business on the net present value of its future cash flows. It requires an analysis of future cash flows, the capital structure and costs of capital and an assessment of the residual value or the terminal value of the company’s cash flows at the end of the forecast period. This method of valuation is appropriate when valuing companies where future cash flow projections can be made with a reasonable degree of confidence.
CFME is generally considered a short form DCF, where an estimation of the Future Maintainable Earnings ( “FME” ) of the business, rather than a stream of cash flows is capitalised based on an appropriate capitalisation multiple. Multiples are derived from the analysis of transactions involving comparable target companies and the trading multiples of comparable listed companies. This methodology is commonly applied where earnings are stable and a FME stream can be established with a degree of confidence. Capitalisation multiples can be applied to either estimates of future maintainable operating cash flows, EBITDA, EBIT or net profit after tax ( “NPAT” ). The earnings from any surplus and non-operating assets and liabilities are excluded from the estimate of FME and the value of such assets and liabilities is separately added/subtracted to the value of the business in order to derive the total value of the company. The appropriate multiple to be applied is usually derived from an analysis of stock market trading multiples of comparable companies (which do not include a control premium) and the implied multiples paid in comparable transactions (which include a control premium).
Where a business is at an early stage of development with a history of volatile earnings performance consisting largely of losses, it is common for the capitalisation of future maintainable revenue ( “CFMR” ) to be used, assuming the business has generated historical revenue or is expected to generate revenue in the near future. Where the CFMR is applied, the capitalisation multiples used are based on observed revenue multiples. Similar to the capitalisation of maintainable earnings methodology, non-trading surplus assets and net debt are adjusted for to derive the total value of the company. The appropriate multiple to be applied is usually derived from an analysis of stock market trading multiples of comparable companies (which do not include a control premium) and the implied multiples paid in comparable transactions (which may include a control premium).
==> picture [168 x 82] intentionally omitted <==
Spacetalk Limited | Independent Expert’s Report | Page 25
Asset based methods
Asset based methodologies estimate the fair value of a company’s securities based on the realisable value of its identifiable net assets. Asset based methods include:
-
orderly realisation of assets method;
-
liquidation of assets method; and
-
net assets on a going concern basis.
The value achievable in an orderly realisation of assets is estimated by determining the net realisable value of the assets of a company which would be distributed to security holders after payment of all liabilities, including realisation costs and taxation charges that arise, assuming the company is wound up in an orderly manner. This technique is particularly appropriate for businesses with relatively high asset values compared to earnings and cash flows.
The liquidation of assets method is similar to the orderly realisation of assets method except the liquidation method assumes that the assets are sold in a shorter time frame. The liquidation of assets method will result in a value that is lower than the orderly realisation of assets method and is appropriate for companies in financial distress or where a company is not valued on a going concern basis.
The net assets on a going concern method estimates the market values of the net assets of a company but unlike the orderly realisation of assets method it does not take into account realisation costs. Asset based methods are appropriate when companies are not profitable, a significant proportion of the company’s assets are liquid, or for asset holding companies.
4.2 Selection of valuation methodologies
Valuation of a Share prior to the Proposed Transaction (control basis)
The valuation methodologies we have adopted for assessing the Fair Value of a Share prior to the Proposed Transaction have been selected having regard to the following:
-
The CFME methodology is not considered appropriate in the circumstances as Spacetalk has reported negative earnings at an EBITDA level (and below) throughout the Historical Period. Accordingly, we do not have reasonable grounds on which to base the FME or the Company.
-
We consider the CFMR methodology to be an appropriate methodology to adopt in assessing the Fair Value of the Company, as:
-
EV/Revenue multiples are commonly utilised to value businesses with a high level of recurring revenue from long-term customers where an earnings based approach (such as the CFME) is not applicable;
-
Spacetalk has exhibited consistent revenue growth in the Historical Period, reflecting the growth in the scale and reach of the Company, even though it is loss-making; and
-
EV/Revenue multiples allow for comparison with peer companies which may also be loss-making.
-
RG 111 states that an expert should not include prospective financial information (including forecasts and projections) or any other statements or assumptions about future matters (together, “forward-looking information” ) in its report unless there are reasonable grounds for the forward-looking information. In our opinion, forward-looking information is inherently uncertain, and is only applied both where the use of historical financial information, such as current FME and multiples applied in the CFME approach, do not accurately reflect the value of a business, and there are reasonable grounds to rely on the forward-looking information. In this instance, Spacetalk’s recent historical financial performance (at a revenue level) and the observed trading multiples are considered adequate in estimating the Fair Value of the Company, and accordingly budgets or long-term forecasts prepared by Spacetalk’s Management have not been relied on.
-
Spacetalk’s securities are listed on the ASX, which provides an indication of the market value where an observable market for the securities exists.
-
Due to the nature of its operations Spacetalk is not an asset intensive business. Accordingly, an asset-based approach will not capture the future earnings potential of the business and will likely understate its value.
Having regard to the above, we consider it reasonable to utilise the CFMR methodology as our primary valuation methodology. We have then utilised the QMP as our secondary valuation methodology, given the listed status of Spacetalk.
CFMR methodology
In valuing an ordinary share of Spacetalk prior to the Proposed Transaction we have utilised the CFMR methodology having regard to the following:
-
The Company’s FY25 revenue; and
-
The trailing EV/Revenue multiples of comparable companies.
==> picture [168 x 82] intentionally omitted <==
Spacetalk Limited | Independent Expert’s Report | Page 26
QMP methodology
Prices at which a company’s shares have been traded on the ASX can, in the absence of low liquidity or unusual circumstances, provide an objective measure of the value of the company, excluding a premium of control.
As a secondary methodology, we have considered the quoted market price by considering the historical VWAP of Spacetalk Shares and the volatility of the share price prior to the announcement of the Proposed Transaction.
In accordance with RG 111, we have assessed the value of Shares on the basis of a 100% controlling interest.
In considering the Proposed Transaction, we have only given regard to the impact of the relevant resolution (Resolution 2) on the fairness and reasonableness, noting that it is not subject to the approval of any other resolution included in the NoM.
Valuation of a Spacetalk Share immediately following the Proposed Transaction (non-controlling basis)
Because the Thorney Notes are subject to compulsory conversion at the maturity date, with an option to convert early, and with Accrued Interest being payable through the issue of Interest Shares, we have assessed the Fair Value of a Share post the Proposed Transaction under a single scenario, assuming the interest on the Thorney Notes is paid each quarter through the issue of Interest Shares, and the conversion of the face value of the Thorney Notes to Thorney Notes Shares at the Conversion Date, representing the most dilutive scenario under the terms of the Thorney Notes.
In assessing the value of a Share post the Proposed Transaction, we have considered the Fair Value of a Share prior to the Proposed Transaction, adjusted by:
-
The cash received from the issuance of the Thorney Notes (net of transaction costs);
-
The potential dilutionary impact of the options created by the Non-Associated Shareholder approval of the Proposed Transaction, consisting of both the dilutionary impact of:
-
The payment of the quarterly interest through the issuance of Shares; and
-
The conversion of the Thorney Notes into Shares at the maturity date.
Because Spacetalk has no obligation to pay cash under the terms of the Thorney Notes (except in certain circumstances, such as default), the Thorney Notes is an equity instrument. Accordingly, the potential dilutionary impact of the Thorney Notes is based on its characteristics as an equity instrument, and as a result our assessment does not include a debt component.

5. Valuation of a Spacetalk Share prior to the Proposed Transaction
As stated in Section 4 of the Report, we have assessed the Fair Value of Spacetalk on a 100% controlling interest basis prior to the Proposed Transaction utilising the CFMR methodology as our primary valuation methodology, and the QMP as a secondary valuation methodology.
5.1 Capitalisation of future maintainable revenue methodology
The table below sets out our assessment of the Fair Value of a Share on a 100% controlling interest basis, prior to the Proposed Transaction, using the CFMR methodology.
Table 15 Valuation summary – CFMR
| $'000 | Low | High | Preferred |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maintainable revenue | 19,500 | 19,700 | 19,600 |
| Assessed multiple | 1.15x | 1.35x | 1.25x |
| Enterprise value (controlling basis) | 22,425 | 26,595 | 24,500 |
| Less: Net debt | (6,611) | (6,611) | (6,611) |

| Value per share (control) | $0.20 | $0.26 | $0.23 |
Source: S&P Capital IQ and RSM analysis
After adjusting for the dilutionary impact of the Listed Options, Performance Rights and Warrants as at the Report Date (or as close as practically possible), our assessed value per Share ranges between $0.20 and $0.26, with a preferred value of $0.23.
Refer to Appendix D for the assessment of the dilutionary impact of the Listed Options, Performance Rights and Warrants of the Company.
Key assumptions
The CFMR methodology estimates the value of the equity of a company by capitalising the future maintainable revenue of the business at an appropriate multiple, which reflects the underlying risk profile and growth prospects of the business, applying a premium for control where necessary, adding any surplus or non-operating assets (or deducting any excess or non-operating liabilities) and deducting net debt (or adding net cash). Accordingly, valuing Spacetalk using the CFMR methodology requires the determination of the following variables:
-
future maintainable revenue (“ FRM ”);
-
an appropriate capitalisation multiple;
-
an appropriate premium for control;
-
the current level of net cash or net debt;
-
the dilutionary impact of Listed Options, Performance Rights and Warrants; and
-
the value of surplus assets and excess liabilities.
Our considerations with regard to each of these factors are presented below.
Assessment of future maintainable revenue
In assessing the FMR of Spacetalk we have considered and reviewed the following:
-
Spacetalk audited financial performance for FY23, FY24 and FY25;
-
Spacetalk’s YTD 25 unaudited management accounts;
-
changes in the nature of Spacetalk’s operations and financial performance;
-
any abnormal or non-recurring revenue items;
-
the market conditions and outlook of the Computer and Computer Periphery Wholesaling, and MVNO industries; and
-
our discussions with Spacetalk’s Management.
We have adopted a FMR of between $19.5m and $19.7m, based on Spacetalk’s FY25 normalised revenue of $19.6m. As Spacetalk’s revenue has trended upwards during the Historical Period, we consider FY25 to be the most relevant indicator of future maintainable revenue. We have not identified any normalisations to the reported FY25 revenue.
Spacetalk Limited | Independent Expert’s Report | Page 28
Assessment of capitalisation multiple
The assessment of an appropriate revenue multiple to be applied in the assessment of the Fair Value of Spacetalk requires consideration of a number of factors including:
-
stability and continuity of revenue;
-
size and lifecycle of the business;
-
capital structure and leverage of the Company;
-
expected growth prospects of the Company;
-
expected growth prospect of the broader industry;
-
trading multiples attributed by the market to other industry participants; and
-
multiples paid by the market in recent acquisitions of industry participants.
The table below summarises the last twelve months (“ LTM ”) revenue multiples of publicly listed comparable companies, including Spacetalk. A description of each company is set out in Appendix F of the Report.
Given Spacetalk’s unique business model, as evidenced by its historical revenue split which consists primarily of device sales and MVNO revenue (as discussed in Section 3 ), we have been unable to identify companies with operations directly comparable to that of the Company. Accordingly, we have considered companies with exposure to at least one of these two core business areas, being companies with operations in the MVNO industry (particularly those without owned infrastructure) and technology hardware wholesale industry (particularly distributors) in assessing an appropriate capitalisation multiple.

We note the following in relation to the comparable companies and trading multiples considered above:
-
To ensure consistency in the treatment and categorisation of net debt items between our assessment of the Fair Value of the Company and the observed multiples of the comparable companies, we have manually calculated the EV and EV/Revenue multiples of the comparable companies. We have included in the net debt of the companies:
-
Borrowings/other debt items (Total Debt in the tables above);
-
Contract liabilities (unearned or deferred revenue); and
-
Current and non-current lease liabilities;
-
The average market capitalisation of selected MVNO companies is $3.5 billion, whereas for companies in the technology hardware distributor sector, the average was $1.3 billion;
-
The mean and median LTM EV/Revenue multiples for the MVNO companies were 1.74x and 1.59x, respectively, whilst comparable companies in the technology hardware distribution sector recorded lower multiples of 0.85x and 0.81x respectively; and
-
The share prices of the listed companies above represent the market value of a non-controlling interest. As such, any revenue multiples derived from the remaining comparable companies’ share prices do not include a premium for control (i.e. are representative of a non-controlling shareholding).
We have set out below further specific commentary and analysis relating to each of our assessed comparable companies.
Table 17 Comparable companies’ commentary and analysis
| Comparable company | Commentary and analysis |
|---|---|
| TPG's revenue increased at a CAGR of 1.47% between Sep '22 to Sep '25. TPG’s share price has experienced | |
| minor fluctuations over the same period. EV/Revenue multiples have also remained consistent over this period, | |
| TPG Telecom Limited | ending at 2.77x in Sep '25. We have included TPG in our analysis as a comparable company to Spacetalk, given |
| its strong presence in Australia through both mobile virtual network operations and internet service provider | |
| (“ISP”) activities, which we consider similar to Spacetalk’s MVNO operations. | |
| Aussie Broadband's revenue has increased at a CAGR of 29.48% between Sep '22 to Sep '25. This reflects a | |
| positive trend in share performance over the period, accompanied by an increase in EV/Revenue multiples which | |
| Aussie Broadband Limited | reached 1.59x in Sep '25. We consider Aussie Broadband a comparable company to Spacetalk due to its focus |
| on ISP services in Australia. While not involved with MVNO operations, we consider ISP services to be similar in | |
| nature to that of MVNO and as such have included Aussie Broadband. | |
| Pentanet's revenue increased at a CAGR of 10.66% between Sep '22 to Sep '25. Pentanet’s share price declined | |
| significantly during this period, primarily due to a capital raising conducted at a 17.0% discount to the last traded | |
| price of $0.1001– a $4.5m placement of 54.2m new ordinary shares at $0.083 per share. As a result, Pentanet’s | |
| Pentanet Limited | EV/Revenue multiple has seen a consistent decline throughout this period, reaching 0.86x in Sep '25. We |
| consider Pentanet a comparable company to Spacetalk due to its focus on ISP services in Australia. Similar to | |
| Aussie Broadband, while not involved with MVNO operations, we consider ISP services to be similar in nature to | |
| that of MVNO and as such have included Pentanet. | |
| Dicker Data's revenue has seen a slight decrease at a CAGR of 2.81% between Sep '22 to Sep '25. Dicker | |
| Data’s share price decreased over the same period, resulting in the EV/Revenue multiples remaining relatively | |
| Dicker Data Limited | flat, standing at 0.89x in Sep '25. Dicker Data’s core business model is business-to-business hardware |
| distribution, with the primary revenue source being the resale of tech products (e.g. networking gear, computers, | |
| etc.), which we consider comparable to Spacetalk’s device sales operations. | |
| Ambertech's revenue increased at a CAGR of 9.55% between Sep '22 to Sep '25. Despite the increase in | |
| revenue Ambertech’s share price decreased substantially over this period. Ambertech’s share price fell from | |
| $0.32 on 24 May 2024, to $0.23 on 28 May 2024, mainly due to the company’s announcement of a profit warning | |
| Ambertech Limited | on 27 May 2024. The announcement projected a decrease in earnings from $3.8m in FY23 to $3.0m in FY24, leading to negative market sentiment. As a result, EV/Revenue multiples have also decreased over the period, |
| ending at 0.34x in Sep '25. We consider Ambertech a comparable company to Spacetalk on the basis of | |
| similarities in operations and product offerings, with their revenue mainly coming the sale and distribution of | |
| technology and audio-visual hardware, as well as other offering of related services. | |
| GoPro's revenue decreased at a CAGR of 11.62% between Sep '22 to Sep '25, while its share price experienced | |
| a substantial decrease over the same period. EV/Revenue multiples exhibited volatility over this period from a | |
| GoPro, Inc. | high of 0.75x in 2 February 2023, to a low of 0.12x in 22 April 2025, before reaching 0.74x in Sep '25. We consider GoPro a comparable company to Spacetalk on the basis of similarities in operations and business |
| model. While GoPro does manufacture their own equipment, their main revenue source is aligned with Spacetalk | |
| (i.e. hardware sales and distribution). | |
| Sonos' revenue decreased at a CAGR of 4.02% between Sep '22 to Sep '25, while its share price also reflected a | |
| consistent decrease over the stated period. EV/Revenue multiples increased over the period from reaching 1.41x | |
| Sonos, Inc. | in Sep '25. We consider Sonos a comparable company to Spacetalk on the basis of similarities in operations and business model. Similar to Spacetalk, Sonos generates revenue primarily through the sale and distribution of |
| technology hardware on a business-to-consumer basis. While Sonos also manufactures its own equipment, the | |
| core revenue model aligns closelywith Spacetalk’s focus on consumer hardware. |

Spacetalk Limited | Independent Expert’s Report | Page 30
Based on our analysis, we have selected a comparable listed company EV/Revenue multiple range of 1.15x to 1.25x, which we have adjusted for control, size and other business specific risks of Spacetalk as set out below.
Premium for control
Obtaining control of an entity usually provides the acquirer with a number of advantages including the following:
-
access to potential synergies
-
control over decision making and strategic direction;
-
access to underlying cash flows; and
-
control over dividend policies.
In the case of publicly traded securities, given the advantages control of an entity provides an acquirer, they are usually expected to pay a premium to the quoted market price to achieve control, which is often referred to as a control premium. Earnings multiples for listed companies do not reflect the market value of a controlling interest in the company as they are derived from market prices which usually represent the buying and selling of non-controlling portfolio holdings (small parcels of shares).
RSM has conducted a study on 605 takeovers and schemes of arrangement involving companies listed on ASX over the 15.5 years ended 31 December 2020 ( “RSM Control Premium Study” ). In determining the control premium, RSM compared the offer price to the closing trading price of the target company 20, 5 and 2 trading days pre the date of the announcement of the offer. Where the consideration included shares in the acquiring company, RSM used the closing share price of the acquiring company on the day prior to the date of the offer.
The table below sets out a summary of average control premiums relevant to the Proposed Transaction, as per the RSM Control Premium Study, of which all are disclosed at the equity level.
Table 18 RSM Control Premium Study
| Number of transactions |
20 days pre | 5 days pre | 2 days pre |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Average control premium – all industries | 605 | 34.7% | 29.2% | 27.1% |
| Average – Telecommunication, IT and Software | 64 | 44.1% | 31.8% | 34.8% |
| Average control premium (market capitalisation $0 to $25m) | 119 | 50.8% | 40.1% | 40.6% |
Source: RSM Control Premium Study 2021
As the Proposed Transaction represents a control transaction, in assessing the value of 100% of Spacetalk and a share in Spacetalk on a controlling interest basis, we consider a premium for control ranging between 30.0% and 40.0%, with a midpoint of 35.0%, applied at an equity level, to be appropriate in assessing the value of 100% of Spacetalk and a Share on a controlling basis. Noting that a control premium applied at an enterprise value level will generally be lower (as a percentage) than the control premium calculated at the equity level due to the impact of gearing, we have had regard to the gearing levels of the comparable companies utilised in assessing the control premium to be applied to the capitalisation multiple (which are observed at an enterprise value level). Based on our analysis, we consider a control premium of 20.0% to 30.0% to be appropriate at an enterprise value level.
Discount for size and business specific risk
In calculating the appropriate capitalisation multiple for Spacetalk, we have considered the following:
-
The relative comparability of size between Spacetalk and the peer companies, with the market capitalisation of Spacetalk ($10.6m) being significantly lower relative to the median market capitalisation of the peer group of $1.6bn for MVNO comparable companies and $1.2bn for technology hardware distributors. Although Spacetalk is listed on the ASX and has a diversified geographical footprint, smaller businesses like Spacetalk inherently carry greater risk relative to larger industry participants as it has less diversified revenue streams, lack economies of scale and have relatively less efficient processes and systems;
-
The faster historic revenue growth trends of the Company in comparison to the peer group, with Spacetalk LTM revenue growth of 9.64% from 15 September 2022 to 15 September 2025, versus an average of the peer group of 4.51%. Spacetalk’s higher revenue growth in comparison to the peer group results in a premium applied to the discount, to offset other risk factors; and
-
Spacetalk reported total comprehensive losses over the Historical Period and has not been generating positive cash flows, indicating increased risk in comparison to the peer group, of which three out of seven reported positive net income, and two out of seven reported positive cash flow, in FY25.
On the basis of the above, we have assessed an appropriate discount for size and other business specific risk factors applicable to Spacetalk to be 17.5%. We discuss the research that we have referenced in determining an appropriate size and business specific risk factor below.
==> picture [168 x 82] intentionally omitted <==
Spacetalk Limited | Independent Expert’s Report | Page 31
-
The discount for size represents the discount an investor will demand for investing in a small business relative to market peers. A number of studies have been undertaken attempting to establish the existence of and measure the size discount or size premium (applied in the calculation of the cost of capital, in particular in the US. The most notable US study is the Valuation Handbook published by Kroll (formerly known as Duff & Phelps), which contains calculations of the size premium for each decile of market capitalisation of US companies.
-
Several Australian studies have also been undertaken demonstrating the existence of the size premium, including the most recent study by Macquarie University as set out in their Business Valuation paper entitled The Size Premium: Australian Evidence, which found evidence supporting the existence of a size premium. The application of size premiums in Australia is however somewhat subjective and largely based on professional judgement.
We have applied a discount for business specific risks based on our professional judgement, having considered the factors mentioned above, of 17.5%.
On the basis of the above, we have assessed a controlling multiple range for Spacetalk of 1.15x to 1.35x with a midpoint of 1.25x as set out in the table below.

Multiple Cross Checks
As a cross check of our assessed revenue multiple based on the observed multiples of publicly listed comparable companies, we have also considered the revenue multiples implied by transactions involving companies operating in the MVNO and technology hardware distribution industries both locally and in developed economies internationally.
Our research did not identify a statistically relevant sample size of transactions over the past three years which involved targets comparable to Spacetalk.
Valuation of Spacetalk – Enterprise Value
We have assessed the Enterprise Value of Spacetalk to be in the range of $22.4m to $26.6m, with a preferred value of $24.5m, as detailed in the table below.

Spacetalk’s net debt consists of:
-
Borrowings associated with the Company’s Loan Agreement with Pure;
-
Lease liabilities added back which relate to lease obligations associated with right-of-use assets; and
-
Contract liabilities which relate to the Company’s unearned revenue.
Refer to Section 3 for our detailed analysis of the Company’s balance sheet and the above net debt items.
Treatment of excluded assets / liabilities
Based on our analysis of the Spacetalk balance sheet as at 31 July 2025, we do not consider Spacetalk to have any surplus assets or liabilities that require adjustments.
Share capital
As at the date of the Report, Spacetalk had a total of 73,112,682 ordinary shares on issue.
Listed Options, PRs, and Warrants
As at the date of the Report, there were various Listed Options, PRs, and Warrants on issue. Refer to Section 3 for our detailed breakdown of the Spacetalk’s Listed Options, PRs, and Warrants.
On the basis that the recipients of the Listed Options and PRs are effectively “earning” the benefit of the Listed Options and PRs over time, we have only included within our valuation of Spacetalk, the dilutionary impact of the proportion of Listed Options and PRs which service vesting conditions have passed as at the date of the Report. We consider that the remaining Listed Options and PRs, and their potential dilutionary impact, is representative of future services that Spacetalk will receive, being part of the future remuneration of the option recipients which, therefore, should not be reflected within our valuation of Spacetalk prior to the Scheme.
We have included the dilutionary impact of all 11,000,000 Warrants.
Refer to Appendix D for our detailed assessment of the potential dilutionary impact of the Listed Options, PRs, and Warrants prior to the Proposed Transaction.

5.2 Quoted price of listed securities methodology
In order to provide a comparison and cross check to our valuation of a Share derived using the CFMR methodology, we have considered the recent quoted market price for Spacetalk Shares on the ASX prior to the announcement of the Proposed Transaction.
RG 111.69 indicates that for the QMP methodology to represent a reliable indicator of Fair Value, there needs to be an active and liquid market for the securities.
The following characteristics may be considered to be representative of a liquid and active market:
-
regular trading in the company’s securities;
-
approximately 1% of a company’s securities traded on a weekly basis;
-
the bid/ask spread of a company’s shares must not be so great that a single majority trade can significantly affect the market capitalisation of the company; and
-
there are no significant but unexplained movements in share price.
The Proposed Transaction was announced on 11 July 2025. The following chart sets out the daily closing share prices and volumes in Spacetalk Shares traded in the year prior to the announcement of the Proposed Transaction, i.e. the twelve months to 10 July 2025.

To provide further analysis of the quoted market prices for Spacetalk’s Shares, we have considered the VWAP over a number of trading day periods ending 10 July 2025. An analysis of the volume in trading in Spacetalk’s Shares for the 1, 5, 10, 30, 60, 90, and 180-day trading periods is set out in the table below:

We note the following:
-
The VWAP has ranged from a low of $0.153 in the 10-trading day period, to a high of $0.213 in the 365-trading day period before the announcement of the Proposed Transaction.
-
The bid/ask spread is often used to measure efficiency. For the 180-day period, the closing bid/ask spread of Spacetalk averaged 1% of the midpoint price. On the basis that, over a comparable period, all stock trading on the ASX had an effective average bid-ask spread of 0.1832%[2] , we consider the bid/ask spread of Spacetalk to be comparatively wide.
-
Notwithstanding the level of liquidity, Spacetalk complies with full disclosure regime required by the ASX. As a result, the market is fully informed about the performance of Spacetalk.
-
In the absence of other proposed share-related transactions, the trading share price represents the value in which minority Shareholders could realise if they wanted to exit their investment.
Our assessment of the value of a Spacetalk Share based on the quoted market price pre-announcement of the Proposed Transaction, and therefore on the basis of a minority interest, with specific reference to the 60- and 90-trading day periods, is between $0.172 and $0.180.
Control premium
The quoted market price of listed securities methodology applied represents the value of a portfolio interest (non-controlling shareholding). Accordingly, we adjusted Spacetalk’s non-controlling value per the QMP method with a control premium range of 30% to 40%, as discussed in Section 5.1 above, to determine a controlling interest value per share.
The table below sets out our assessment of the value of a Spacetalk Share on a controlling interest basis, utilising the quoted price of listed securities methodology to be in the range of $0.22 to $0.25 with a preferred value of $0.24.

5.3 Valuation summary of a Spacetalk Share prior to the Proposed Transaction
A summary of our assessed values of a Spacetalk share on a controlling interest basis prior to the Proposed Transaction, derived under the two valuation methodologies, is set out in the table below.
Table 25 Spacetalk valuation summary
| Low | High | Preferred | |
|---|---|---|---|
| CFMR (diluted) - primary methodology | $0.20 | $0.26 | $0.23 |
| Quoted price of listed securities - secondary methodology | $0.22 | $0.25 | $0.24 |
| Source: RSM analysis |
We have determined the Fair Value of a Spacetalk Share on a controlling interest basis to be in the range of $0.20 to $0.24, derived using the CFMR methodology, which we have applied as our primary methodology. The recent quoted market prices of Spacetalk provides a cross check to our primary methodology, and we consider the valuation ranged derived under the QMP methodology to be comparable to that derived under the primary methodology.
Therefore, in our opinion, we consider the Fair Value of a Spacetalk Share (on a control basis) to be between $0.20 and $0.26, with a preferred value of $0.23.

6. Valuation summary of a Spacetalk Share immediately following the Proposed Transaction
We have assessed the Fair Value of a Share in Spacetalk immediately following the Proposed Transaction (on a non-controlling basis) assuming full conversion of the Thorney Notes. Refer to Section 4 for our detailed valuation approach and methodology.
A summary of our assessed values of a Share, on a non-controlling basis, immediately following the Proposed Transaction, is set out in the table below.

Potential dilutionary impact of the Listed Options, PRs, and Warrants
As discussed in Section 4 , we have included the potential dilutionary impact of the Listed Options, PRs, and Warrants in our assessment of the Fair Value of a Spacetalk Share immediately following the Proposed Transaction. Further detail of our assessment of the potential dilutionary impact of the Listed Options, PRs, and Warrants is set out in Appendix D .
Potential dilutionary impact of the options created by the Non-Associated Shareholder approval
As discussed in Section 4 , we have included the potential dilutionary impact of the option created by the Non-Associated Shareholder approval for the issuance of the Thorney Notes Shares and Interest Shares in our assessment of the Fair Value of a Spacetalk Share immediately following the Proposed Transaction. Further details of our assessment of the potential dilutionary impact of the option created by the Non-Associated Shareholder approval is set out in Appendix D .
We consider that the Fair Value of a Spacetalk Share immediately following the Proposed Transaction, on a control basis, is between $0.17 and $0.23.
Discount for lack of control
A discount for a minority interest (non-controlling interest) is the inverse of a premium for control. In selecting a minority discount, we have given consideration to our control premium applied in Section 5 , where we established a range for a control premium of between 30.0% and 40.0%. The resulting corresponding minority discount range based on said control premiums is between 23.1% and 28.6%.
We therefore consider that the Fair Value of a Share immediately following the Proposed Transaction, on a non-controlling basis, is between $0.12 and $0.18, with a preferred value of $0.15.
3 DLOC is calculated as 1 − [1/(1+control premium], using the range of control premiums of 30.0% to 40.0% (refer to Section 5 )

7. Is the Proposed Transaction Fair to the Non-Associated Shareholders?
In assessing whether we consider the Proposed Transaction to be fair to Non-Associated Shareholders, we have valued a Share prior to the Proposed Transaction on a controlling basis and compared it to value of a Spacetalk Share immediately following the Proposed Transaction on a non-controlling basis, to determine whether a Non-Associated Shareholder would be better or worse off should the Proposed Transaction be approved.
Our assessment is set out in the table below.

|---|---|---|---|
| Fair Value of a Spacetalk Share prior to the Proposed Transaction (control basis) |

The table and chart above indicate that the Fair Value of a Spacetalk Share, immediately after the Proposed Transaction is less than the Fair Value of a Spacetalk Share (on a controlling basis) prior to the Proposed Transaction.
Subsequently, in accordance with the guidance set out in ASIC RG 111, and in the absence of any other relevant information, for the purposes of Section 611, Item 7 of the Act, we consider the Proposed Transaction to be not fair to the Shareholders of Spacetalk.
==> picture [168 x 82] intentionally omitted <==
Spacetalk Limited | Independent Expert’s Report | Page 39
8. Is the Proposed Transaction Reasonable to Non-Associated Shareholders?
RG111 establishes that an offer is reasonable if it is fair. If a Proposed Transaction is not fair it may still be reasonable after considering the specific circumstances applicable to the Proposed Transaction. In our assessment of the reasonableness of the Proposed Transaction, we have given consideration to:
-
the future prospects of the Company if the Proposed Transaction does not proceed;
-
the trading of Spacetalk’s Shares following the announcement of the Proposed Transaction;
-
the potential advantages and disadvantages of the Proposed Transaction for the Non-Associated Shareholders, including the specific terms of the Proposed Transaction; and
-
the existence of alternative proposals.
8.1 Future Prospects of Spacetalk if the Proposed Transaction Does Not Proceed
If the Proposed Transaction does not proceed as a result of it not being approved by the Non-Associated Shareholders, the Company will have the opportunity to continue to seek shareholder approval for the issue of Interest Shares and Thorney Notes Shares until July 2026. If shareholder approval is not obtained for:
-
the issue of Interest Shares at any interest payment date, the Company’s obligation to issue Shares for that quarter will be deferred until such time as the Company has obtained requisite shareholder approvals, provided that if shareholder approval has not been obtained on the Conversion Date the full value of any accrued but unpaid interest shall be payable in cash on the Redemption Date.
-
the issue of Thorney Notes Shares at the Conversion Date, the Company will be required to redeem the Thorney Notes (principal and any accrued but unpaid interest) in cash on the Redemption Date.

The 5-day, 10-day and 30-day VWAP of Spacetalk’s shares after the announcement were all lower than the 60-day VWAP prior to the announcement of the Proposed Transaction of $0.172.
Based on the above, we consider that the market has reacted slightly unfavourably to the announcement of the Proposed Transaction.
8.3 Advantages and disadvantages
In assessing whether the Non-Associated Shareholders are likely to be better off if the Proposed Transaction proceeds than if it does not, we have also considered various advantages and disadvantages that are likely to accrue to the Non-Associated Shareholders.
The key advantages and disadvantages of the Proposed Transaction are outlined below.
Advantages
The key advantages of the Proposed Transaction are:
Table 29 Advantages of the Proposed Transaction
| Advantage | Details |
|---|---|
| The funds raised from the issue of the Thorney Notes have been, and will continue to be, applied | |
| towards the Company’s international expansion, the development of a new app ecosystem, the design | |
| Ability to pursue growth strategies | and development of new hardware and for general working capital and corporate expenses. If the Proposed Transaction is approved and the Thorney Notes (principal and any accrued but unpaid |
| interest) convert to Shares, Spacetalk will not have an obligation to repay the Thorney Notes in cash, | |
| allowing the Company to pursue the above growth strategies without the need to raise additional capital. | |
| We consider the interest rate of 10% per annum accruing on the Thorney Notes, with interest payable | |
| quarterly through the issuance of ordinary shares, to be below a commercial market rate at which | |
| Interest rate savings | Spacetalk could obtain borrowings on the same terms, with no conversion features. |
| Refer toAppendix Efor our assessment of market rate of interest. | |
| If the Proposed Transaction is approved, the material uncertainty related to going concern will be | |
| Going Concern | alleviated in the short term, especially if market conditions deteriorate between the date of this Report and 30 June 2026. |
| Approval under s611(7) of the Act exempts the issue from ASX Listing Rule 7.1, preserving the | |
| Preservation of Placement Capacity | Company’s ability to issue up to 25% of its capital over a 12-month period (subject to certain conditions) in future placements without further Non-Associated Shareholder approval. |
| Avoidance of issuing direct equity | Avoiding direct equity issuance through the Thorney Notes and Thorney Options in the Proposed |
| Transaction allows the Company to raise funds without immediately setting a valuation which may be | |
| unrepresentative of its future earnings. As the Company approaches profitability, its valuation is likely to | |
| improve, making delayed equity conversion more favourable. |

Spacetalk Limited | Independent Expert’s Report | Page 41
Disadvantages
The key disadvantages of the Proposed Transaction are:
Table 30 Disadvantages of the Proposed Transaction
| Disadvantage | Details |
|---|---|
| As the Fair Value of a Share (on a non-controlling basis) immediately after the Proposed Transaction is | |
| The Proposed Transaction is not fair | less than the Fair Value of a Share (on a controlling basis) prior to the Proposed Transaction, we |
| consider the Proposed Transaction to be not fair to Non-Associated Shareholders. | |
| The Thorney Notes are converting into | |
| shares in the Company at a discount to | The likely conversion price of the Thorney Notes of $0.11 per Share at the date of this Report is at a |
| our assessed Fair Value of a | 45.7% to 57.6% discount to our assessed Fair Value of a Spacetalk Share prior to the Proposed |
| Spacetalk Share prior to the Proposed | Transaction on a control basis. |
| Transaction on a control basis | |
| With a shareholding exceeding 25%, Thorney will be able to unilaterally block schemes of arrangement | |
| and special resolutions. This will reduce Non-Associated Shareholders’ ability to influence decisions | |
| such as the composition of the Board, the strategic direction of the Company and the acquisition and | |
| disposal of assets. The issue of the Thorney Conversion Shares and Interest Shares will increase the | |
| voting power of the Thorney Investment Group from 29.49% to a maximum of 54.99%, or 32.97% on a | |
| fully diluted basis, reducing the voting power of Non-Associated Shareholders in aggregate from 70.51% | |
| to a minimum of 45.01%, or 67.03% on a fully diluted basis. | |
| Further, per Section 611 of the Corporations Act, acquisitions that are exempt of the Corporations Act | |
| include an acquisition by a person if: | |
| Dilutionary impact | (a) “Throughout the 6 months before the acquisition that person, or any other person, has had voting power in the company of at least 19%; and |
| (b) As a result of the acquisition, none of the persons referred to in paragraph (a) would have | |
| voting power in the company more than 3 percentage points higher than they had 6 months | |
| before the acquisition.” | |
| Under this ruling, Thorney would be able to increase its stake in the Company up to 3% every 6 months | |
| without requiring shareholder approval or launching a formal takeover bid. | |
| In the event that Thorney were to incrementally increase its holding to over 50%, it would gain the ability | |
| to appoint or remove board members, influence the strategic direction, and ultimately assume control of | |
| the Company. | |
| Potential impairment of ability to raise further equity capital |
To the extent needed by Spacetalk in the future, the existence of a single Shareholder holding up to 54.99% of the issued equity of the Company, or 32.97% on a fully diluted basis, could make raising further equity more difficult. |
| The conversion of the Thorney Notes and issue of Shares as payment of the Accrued Interest is | |
| Potential share price pressure | expected to have a dilutionary impact (as discussed above), reducing existing shareholders’ ownership and earnings per share. Anticipating this impact, investors may sell their holdings in advance, which can |
| lead to downwardpressure on the shareprice. |

8.4 Alternative proposals and likelihood of an alternative takeover Proposed Transaction
We are unaware of any alternative proposal at the current time that will provide Non-Associated Shareholders a greater benefit than the Proposed Transaction.
8.5 Conclusion on Reasonableness
We consider that, ignoring our assessment of fairness, the advantages of the Proposed Transaction outweigh the disadvantages.
Therefore, in the absence of any other relevant information and/or a superior offer, we consider that the Proposed Transaction is reasonable for the Non-Associated Shareholders of Beonic.
An individual Shareholder’s decision in relation to the Proposed Transaction may be influenced by their individual circumstances. If in doubt, Shareholders should consult an independent advisor.

D. Assessment of the various potential dilutionary impacts on the Fair Value of a Spacetalk Share
Potential dilutionary impact of the Listed Options, Performance Rights, and Warrants prior to the Proposed Transaction
Spacetalk Long Term Incentive Plan – Prior to the Proposed Transaction
At the date of this Report, Spacetalk has 19,165,688 Listed Options on issue, all of which expired on 22 September 2025, exercisable at $0.35 per Listed Option. As the Listed Options on issue have expired as at the date of this Report and given how deep out of the money they were at date of expiry (exercise price of $0.350 versus share price of $0.145), we have not considered the dilutionary impact of the Listed Options in our assessment of the Fair Value of a Share in Spacetalk.
We have included the dilutionary impacts of the Performance Rights. We note that the PRs are subject to certain non-service vesting conditions, all of which vesting dates have passed. We have only included the PRs which vesting conditions have been met as at the date of this Report.
We have also included the potential dilutionary impact of the Warrants. At the date of this Report, there are 11,000,000 total warrants issued – 2,000,000, with an exercise price of $0.165, expiring 31 December 2026, and 9,000,000 with an exercise price of $0.23, expiring on 31 March 2027.
PRs
We have set out below the key inputs in the valuation of the Performance Rights prior to the Proposed Transaction.
As the PRs convert into Shares at a $nil exercise price, in the absence of any expected dividend yield, the value of the PRs equates to the current stock price of Spacetalk.

Valuation date and Warrant term – We have valued the Warrants as at the date of the Report (or as close as practically possible) and accordingly, have calculated the remaining term of the Warrants in years based on the date of the Report to the expiry date.
Dividend yield – no dividend yield was utilised given no dividend was paid over the last three years.
Exercise price – The Warrants have an exercise price of $0.131 for the 2m Warrants and 9m Warrants, respectively. The exercise price of the Warrants were adjusted to $0.131 following the September Placement in accordance with the terms of the respective Warrant deeds.
Current share price – We have adopted a share price of $0.17, being the preferred share price of a Share, adjusted for a DLOC, which is the inverse of our preferred control premium, as set out in the table below.
| Low | High Preferred |
|---|---|
| $ | $ $ |
| Fair Value of a Spacetalk Share prior to the Proposed Transaction (control basis) 0.20 Discount for lack of control 28.6% |
0.26 0.23 23.1% 25.9% |
| Fair Value of a Spacetalk Share prior to the Proposed Transaction (non-controlling basis) 0.14 |
0.20 0.17 |
| Source: RSM analysis |
Volatility – The volatility of the share price is a measure of the uncertainty about the returns provided by Spacetalk shares. Generally, it is possible to predict future volatility of a stock by reference to its historical volatility. A share with a greater volatility has a greater time component of the total value. Our assumption is predicated on the fact that historical volatility is representative of expected future volatility.
Based on the above and having regard to the liquidity and historical 1- and 2-year volatilities, we have assessed the volatility to be 99%.
Risk free rate – We have determined the risk-free rate based on the yield of a 2 Year Commonwealth bond rate as at 4 September 2025 that cover the period that best match the remaining term of the Warrants.
Early exercise factor – Expected early exercise is factored into the valuation by our application of the binomial model. The model incorporates an exercise factor, which determines the conditions under which an option holder is expected to exercise their options. It is defined as a multiple of the exercise price (e.g., 2.5 would mean that on average option holders tend to exercise their options when the stock price reaches 2.5 times the exercise price).
This is considered more reliable than trying to guess the average time to exercise. For example, trying to estimate an average time after which option holders exercise is likely to be inaccurate as during periods when the market is high option holders are more likely to exercise early as opposed to times when the market is low. Using an exercise multiple, which is based on a robust theory of stock price behaviour/distribution overcomes these problems.
Spacetalk Limited | Independent Expert’s Report | Page 50
We have assumed that the exercise factor for these options is 2.5. There have been a number of historical studies that indicate that option holders early exercise options generally at between 2 to 3 times the exercise price, with the higher multiples generally attributable to more senior employees within the Company.
Summary of the potential dilutionary impact of the Listed Options, PRs, and Warrants prior to the Proposed Transaction
Based on the inputs and assumptions above, our assessed value of the potential dilutionary impact of the Listed Options, PRs, and Warrants prior to the Proposed Transaction is set out in the table below.

Valuation date and option life – We have assessed the dilutionary impact of the Thorney Notes Shares and Interest Shares the options as at the date of the Report (or as close as practically possible) and accordingly, have calculated remaining option life in years based on the date of the Report to the expiry date of the Thorney Notes Shares and each tranche of the Interest Shares.
Exercise price – Because the Company has no obligation to pay cash under the terms of the Converting Note Deed, the Thorney Notes is an equity instrument (i.e. it does not have a debt component). Accordingly, we have assumed an exercise price of $nil in assessing the potential dilutionary impact of the Thorney Notes.
Dividend yield – no dividend yield was utilised given no dividend was paid over the last three years.
Current share price – In this scenario, we have utilised our assessment of the Fair Value of a Share immediately following the Proposed Transaction. We have adopted a share price of $0.15, being the preferred share price of a Spacetalk Share, adjusted for a DLOC as detailed in Section 6 .
Volatility – The volatility of the share price is a measure of the uncertainty about the returns provided by Spacetalk shares. Generally, it is possible to predict future volatility of a stock by reference to its historical volatility. A share with a greater volatility has a greater time component of the total value.
Our assumption is predicated on the fact that historical volatility is representative of expected future volatility.
Our assessed volatility for each quarter is based on the relevant historical volatility in accordance with the appropriate time-period.
Risk free rate – We have determined the risk-free rate based on the zero coupon yield of Commonwealth bond rate for periods which corresponds to remaining option life as at 18 September 2025 that cover the period that best match the life of the options for each group as at the valuation date as set out above.

E. Assessment of market rate of interest
In assessing the Proposed Transaction, we have assessed a commercial market rate of interest that we consider would apply to the Thorney Notes, assuming that the Thorney Notes did not have any conversion features. We have therefore undertaken a benchmarking exercise against the loan terms of comparable companies, and relevant market rates.
We have reviewed the annual financial statements of comparable companies to look at the terms of external borrowings that have been obtained and then considered other factors when comparing to the Thorney Notes, such as:
-
Changes in economic conditions and underlying borrowing rates since the date that the comparable company borrowings were obtained;
-
Underlying security granted on the comparable company borrowings; and
-
Term of the comparable company borrowings.
The table below sets out a summary of the comparable borrowings identified as disclosed together with the terms of borrowings disclosed in the companies’ annual financial statements.
Table 39 Comparable Companies borrowing rates
| Company | FYE | Facility |
Rate |
Term (yrs) |
Security |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aussie Broadband | 30/06/2025 | LTI Options |
4.09% |

As set out above, the selected comparable company interest rates ranged from a low of 4.09% per annum to a high of 5.08% per annum. We note that the comparable companies are materially larger than Spacetalk. As such, the level of credit risk associated with these companies is lower relative to Spacetalk.
We also note that the majority of the comparable borrowings did not have security disclosed. Secured debt carries a lower risk of loss on default, and consequently, generally carries a lower interest rate. We note that the Thorney Notes are unsecured.
As a comparison for unsecured debt, we obtained the current implied yield on Australia Corporate Bonds for companies with a ‘B’ credit rating issued by Standard & Poor’s. As at 10 September 2025, the implied annual yield for a 1-year bond was 14.18%.
Based on the above analysis and particularly taking into account the unsecuritised position of the Thorney Notes, we consider the interest rate of 10.00% per annum applied to the Thorney Notes to be below market rate, and as such, advantageous to Spacetalk.

F. Industry Overview
In evaluating the industry in which Spacetalk operates, we have had regard to the following industries:
-
Computer and Computer Peripheral Wholesaling;
-
Wireless Telecommunications Services; and
-
Software-as-a-Service.
The information below has been extracted from the following IBISWorld company profile reports and industry reports:
-
IBISWorld report F3492 – Computer and Computer Peripheral Wholesaling in Australia (the “Computer and Computer Peripheral Wholesaling” industry), published September 2024;

Computer and Computer Peripheral Wholesaling
General overview
The Computer and Peripheral Wholesaling industry encompasses the distribution of computers, laptops, servers, software and a wide range of accessories including smartwatches and wearable peripherals. Key players within this segment include large multinationals such as Apple Inc., Lenovo Group Limited, Garmin Ltd ( “Garmin” ) and Zepp Health Corp ( “Zepp Health” ) as well as local ASX companies like Dicker Data Ltd ( “Dicker Data” ). The factors leading to the current performance of the Computer and Peripheral Wholesaling Industry include:
-
Changing consumer sentiment with a growing emphasis on health and fitness; and
-
Increased real household discretionary income; and
-
Increased general adoption of smart wearable technology.
The Computer and Computer Peripheral Wholesaling industry is a declining industry in Australia with an expected CAGR growth of 2.5% from $24.6bn in 2024 to $27.9bn in 2029[4] . This is largely driven by delayed hardware replacement purchases, new product releases related to AI technologies, and increased demand from business clients. Historically, revenue has decreased at a CAGR of 0.5% from $25.2bn in 2019 to $24.6bn in 2024, which was largely spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic bringing both economic uncertainty and logistical challenges. Online shopping trends and supply chain disruptions further decreased margins, leading to revenue declines and exits by medium sized wholesalers, despite gains in segments like laptops and gaming consoles.
Competitive dynamics for smart wearables revolve around differentiation through advancing health monitoring, AI-powered functionalities, extended battery life and integration with other devices within an ecosystem. Premium models often include cutting edge technologies such as 5G connectivity and Micro-LED displays whilst more budget friendly options focus on affordability and general features. Battery life remains a major limitation, as the growing demand for continuous sensing increases power consumption, prompting manufacturers to scale back certain features to ensure devices can last a full day. Despite growing development in batteries, this trade off often affects functionality, especially in middle market models. Most smartwatch designers have reported healthy gross margins, typically ranging between 40% and 60%, depending on their product positioning and cost structure. Garmin reported a gross margin of 58.8% in Q2 2025, with its fitness wearables segment reaching 60% gross margin and 33% operating margin, driven by strong demand for advanced models like the Forerunner 970 and Venu X1[2] .
Outlook
The global wearable technology market is expected to increase at an annualised rate of 24.75% over the next 5 years to 2030[3] . This is largely fuelled by the increasing growth prospects of next generation displays in wearable devices. Battery life remains a key constraint, often limiting functionality in mid-range model but despite this, the segment benefits from strong consumer interest and rapid tech evolution, positioning it as a bright spot within the broader wholesaling industry. Looking ahead, the industry is projected to grow in revenue at a modest CAGR of 1.2%, driven by the rollout of 5G networks and increasing reliance on mobile connectivity

for work, entertainment, and Internet of Things (“IoT”) applications. This growth reflects rising consumer demand for faster data speeds, low-latency services, and seamless integration across smart devices and platforms.
Wireless Telecommunications Services
General overview
The wireless telecommunications carrier’s industry provides mobile voice, messaging, and data services through networks of cell towers and wireless infrastructure. In Australia, the wireless telecommunications market is dominated by two main providers; Telstra Group Ltd ( “Telstra” ) and Singapore Telecommunications Limited ( “Optus” ) who together hold over 70% of the market share. These companies compete primarily on network coverage, speed, pricing strategies, and bundled offerings such as streaming services and cloud storage, setting the benchmark for service quality across the industry. However, middle-market players like such as TPG Telecom Ltd ( “TPG” ) and Aussie Broadband Ltd ( “Aussie Broadband” ) play a crucial role by leasing access to these networks and offering competitive retail services. These carriers focus on value-driven plans, flexible bundling, and customer service differentiation, targeting price-sensitive and tech-savvy consumers. In prior years, the industry has decreased in revenue at a CAGR of 3.1% from $26.6bn in 2020 to $22.7bn in 2025 primarily due to COVID-19 which significantly reduced international travel and migration, leading to a decline in demand from foreign consumers[4] . Looking ahead, the industry is projected to grow in revenue at a CAGR of 1.2% from $22.7bn in 2025 to $24.0bn in 2030, driven by the rollout of fifth generation ( ”5G” ) networks and increasing reliance on mobile connectivity for work, entertainment, and IoT applications. This growth reflects rising consumer demand for faster data speeds, low-latency services, and seamless integration across smart devices and platforms.
Australia’s wireless telecommunications market is highly penetrated, with mobile subscriptions exceeding the total population, reflecting widespread access and reliance on mobile services. Usage trends continue to shift toward data heavy applications, driven by streaming entertainment, remote work and the overall increase in usage of smart devices. Telecommunications providers continue to capitalise on this growing trend by offering competitively priced plans with relatively generous data allowances often bundled with home internet or entertainment services. Pricing dynamics remain aggressive, with many middle market providers leveraging wholesale access to major networks to undercut premium carriers while maintaining comparable service quality, fostering a more price sensitive consumer landscape.
The ongoing expansion of 5G networks in Australia is expected to unlock new growth opportunities for telecommunications providers, enabling them to upsell plans that offer significantly faster speeds, reduced latency, and enhanced network capacity. This technological advancement supports richer digital experiences and allows carriers to differentiate their offerings in an increasingly competitive market. With the recent shutdown of third generation ( “3G” ) networks, major providers are expected to accelerate promotion of their 5G services, positioning themselves to boost sales and profitability through enhanced network performance and premium plan offerings. This, however, may deter price-conscious customers from upgrading their devices which in turn may restrain providers from rapidly replacing their services. The rise of the IoT is reshaping both consumer preferences and business operations, driving a shift towards wireless solutions. As households and businesses increasingly adopt internet-connected devices, telecommunications carriers are well positioned to meet rising demand by offering scalable, device-compatible wireless services that support a rapidly expanding digital ecosystem.
Outlook
In the short to medium term, Australia’s wireless telecommunications industry is forecasted to experience a moderate but steady revenue growth at a CAGR of 1.2% through 2025-2030. Industry revenue will continue to climb post COVID-19 driven by the return of overseas customer’s combined with the current populations increasing appetite for continual internet access. Rising real household disposable income may also assist recent cost of living pressures, encouraging greater consumer spending on mobile connectivity. Additionally, ongoing advancements in technologies such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things are anticipated to boost business demand, further supporting industry expansion.
Software-as-a-Service
General overview
The Software-as-a-Service ( “SaaS” ) is a growing market with a revenue increasing at a CAGR of 7.4% from $8.1bn in 2025 to $16.25bn in 2030, driven by the growth of small to medium enterprises ( “SMEs” )[5] . SaaS GPS tracking and family safety apps, such as Life360, Inc. ( “Life360” ) and Spacetalk, are consumer-facing platforms that offer real-time location sharing, emergency alerts, and geofencing features. Positioned within the SaaS model, these apps deliver continuous value through cloud-based services accessible by mobile devices, often bundled with wearable technology for children or seniors. The sector has seen strong growth due to rising parental concerns, increased smartphone penetration, and demand for digital safety tools. Both companies operate on a subscription-based model, supplemented by opportunities to upsell additional products and services. This hybrid approach allows them to generate recurring revenue while also monetising hardware such as Spacetalk’s smartwatches or Life360’s Tile Trackers.
Outlook
The outlook for these apps remains positive, driven by expanding global markets and integration with AI and IoT technologies. As privacy and data security become more central to consumer trust, platforms that balance safety with transparency, such as Life360 which has faced scrutiny over data sharing, will need to adapt to maintain growth and user loyalty.
