Relevantly, section 708A(11)(b) provides that a sale offer does not need disclosure to investors if:

  • (i) the relevant securities are in a class of securities of the company that are already quoted on the ASX;

  • (ii) a prospectus is lodged with ASIC either:

  • (A) on or after the day on which the relevant securities were issued; or

  • (B) before the day on which the relevant securities are issued and offers of securities that have been made under the prospectus are still open for acceptance on the day on which the relevant securities were issued; and

(iii) the prospectus is for an offer of securities issued by the company that are in the same class of securities as the relevant securities.

(c)

Cleansing Offer period

The Cleansing Offer will open on the Opening Date and close on the Cleansing Offer Closing Date.

ASX quotation

The Company will apply to ASX within 7 days after the date of this Prospectus for quotation of the Shares offered under this Prospectus. If the Shares offered under this Prospectus are not admitted to quotation within 3 months after the date of this

All interest earned on Application Monies (including those which do not result in the issue of Shares) will be retained by the Company.

4. Risk factors

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

The Directors consider that the matters summarised in this Section 4, which is not exhaustive, represent some of the major risk factors which Shareholders need to be aware of in evaluating the Company’s business and risks associated with an investment in the Company. Shareholders should carefully consider the following factors in addition to the other information presented in this Prospectus.

4.1 Specific risks

(a) Trading history

There can be no certainty that HomeStay will achieve or sustain profitability or achieve or sustain positive cash flow from its operating activities. HomeStay’s profitability may be impacted by, among other things, the success of its business strategies (such as the conversion of its current pipeline, go-to-market initiatives and/or pilot programs into ongoing commercial relationships/sales channels, further development of the Intelligent Home Platform, and sales and marketing), its ability to provide a high-quality product and level of service to customers, economic conditions in the markets in which it operates, competition factors, and any regulatory developments. Accordingly, the extent of future profits (if any) and the time required to achieve sustained profitability are uncertain and cannot be reliably predicted.

(b) Counterparty risk

Counterparty risk is the risk that a counterparty to any agreement (particularly material agreements such as those with Automation Australia Pty Ltd trading as Essence APAC ( Essence APAC ) and Enrich Living Pty Ltd) will not be able to meet its obligations under a contract, may not honour those obligations, or may choose to terminate the contract (validly or otherwise). The strategies of the Company rely on the successful performance of contracts with external parties. There is a risk that these counterparties may not meet their responsibilities, including as a result of insolvency, or financial distress or liquidation of the counterparty, which may expose the Company to the risk of loss. In the case of default or any of the abovementioned scenarios, the Company could also become subject to adverse market movements while replacement transactions are executed. To mitigate counterparty risk, the Company uses best endeavours to conduct relevant due diligence investigations on each party that it contracts with and scales up its due diligence investigations relative to the materiality of the applicable agreement. Counterparty risk also applies to counterparties to agreements between the Company’s suppliers and partners, and their suppliers and service providers. For example, the ability of Essence APAC to comply with its obligations under the heads of agreement with the Company ( Heads of Agreement ) is dependent on a licence arrangement between Essence APAC and a third party licensor. There is therefore also a risk that that third party licensor may not be able to meet its obligations or may not honour its obligations under that arrangement with Essence APAC, which would in turn cause Essence APAC to not be able to meet its obligations to the Company under the Heads of Agreement.

(c) Risks associated with updates to the Intelligent Home Platform

12

The industry in which HomeStay is involved is subject to increasing domestic and global competition which is fast-paced and fast-changing. While HomeStay will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, HomeStay will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of any competitors, whose activities or actions may positively, or negatively affect the operating and financial performance of HomeStay’s business. For instance, new technologies could overtake any advancements made by HomeStay’s suite of Intelligent Home products. In that case, HomeStay’s revenues and profitability could be adversely affected.

The cost and time for a competitor to develop a competing technology may not be significant (particularly for a larger competitor with access to funding and resources). This may result in a heightened risk of competition to HomeStay. If a person or entity successfully develops and commercialises a competing product, this may have a materially adverse effect on the value and prospects of HomeStay.

(d) Third Party Relationship Risk

The Company is dependent in part upon its relationships and alliances with industry participants, hardware providers and service providers. Some of the Company’s partners do, or may in the future, assist the Company in the development of its products through testing, research and development, contract manufacturing, supplier or teaming arrangements or the provision of services. If any of the Company’s existing relationships with partners were impaired or terminated, or if the Company was unable to implement additional partnering arrangements it may require from time to time, the Company could experience significant delays in the development or rollout of products or the provision of services and would incur additional costs or reputational damage. In the event of such parties failing to meet their obligations to the Company on time or at all, the Company may be adversely affected.

(e) Research and Development and Technical Risk

HomeStay’s products and services are the subject of continuous research and development and necessarily need to be substantially developed further in order to gain and maintain competitive and technological advantage, and in order to meaningfully improve the products’ and services’ usability, scalability and accuracy. There are no guarantees that HomeStay will be able to undertake such research and development successfully. Failure to successfully undertake such research and development, anticipate technical problems, or estimate research and development costs or timeframes accurately will adversely affect HomeStay’s results and viability.

(f) Technology Risk

HomeStay’s market involves rapidly evolving products and technological change. To succeed, HomeStay will need to research, develop, design, test, market and support (i) substantial enhancements to its existing products and (ii) new products, on a timely and cost-effective basis. HomeStay cannot guarantee that it will be able to engage in research and development at the requisite levels. HomeStay cannot assure investors that it will successfully identify new technological opportunities and continue to have the needed financial resources to develop new products in a timely or cost-effective manner. At the same time, products and technologies developed by others may render the Company’s products and systems obsolete or noncompetitive.

(g) Data security risk

13

HomeStay provides a number of its services online through the applicable Intelligent Home Platform which includes native mobile applications. Hacking or exploitation of some unidentified vulnerability in its website or application (third-party, licenced, or otherwise) could lead to a loss, theft or corruption of data. HomeStay will collect sensitive data relating to user information, demographics, etc., which could be attractive to hacking or exploitation.

This could render a platform unavailable for a period of time, whilst data is restored. It could also lead to unauthorised disclosure of users’ data with associated reputational damage, claims by users and regulatory scrutiny and fines. Although HomeStay has strategies and protections in place to mitigate security breaches and to protect data, these strategies might not be successful. In that event, disruption to the Intelligent Home Platform and unauthorised disclosure of user data could negatively impact upon HomeStay’s reputation, revenues and profitability.

(h)

Commercialisation risk

There is a risk that HomeStay will not be able to successfully commercialise or sell its products (whether these be products that are developed in-house, or comprise of third-party or white label products) or will be unable to attract sufficient customers to be sufficiently profitable to fund future operations.

HomeStay’s ability to generate revenue depends on the sales it makes across its product offerings. As with any business, there is a risk that the marketing strategies may not be effective in generating the increased customer scale that HomeStay is targeting.

The price point of some of HomeStay’s existing or proposed products may be too high compared to other solutions or may not be able to stay at the same or at competitive prices for an extended period. This may lead to difficulties in market acceptance and, if reductions in price are necessary to achieve market penetration, the potential for profit margins will be reduced.

(i)

Intellectual property risk

The architecture, functionality and design of certain HomeStay offerings (Care@Home, Carers Companion, MyDay, and business integration tools) are unique from its competitors. Its code base and algorithms, documentation and process flow, form part of its proprietary trade secret. However, at this current stage, HomeStay has not identified any component of the abovementioned offerings that is patentable. Rather, HomeStay’s intellectual property is protected through contractual obligations imposed on those persons who have been involved (and have the know-how) in the development of HomeStay’s technology.

The value of HomeStay is, to an extent, dependent on HomeStay’s ability to protect its other intellectual property rights through these contractual arrangements and going forward, completing such registrations as are appropriate and other relevant measures. If HomeStay fails to protect its intellectual property rights adequately, competitors may gain access to its technology which would in turn harm its business.

The commercial value of HomeStay’s intellectual property assets is not dependent on any relevant legal protections. These legal mechanisms, however, do not guarantee that the intellectual property will be protected or that HomeStay’s competitive position will be maintained. No assurance can be given that employees or third parties will not breach confidentiality agreements, infringe or misappropriate HomeStay’s intellectual property or commercially sensitive information, or that

competitors will not be able to produce non-infringing competitive products. Competition in retaining and sustaining protection of technologies and the complex nature of technologies can lead to expensive and lengthy disputes for which there can be no guaranteed outcome. There can be no assurance that any intellectual property which HomeStay (or entities it deals with) may have an interest in now or in the future will afford HomeStay commercially significant protection of technologies, or that any of the projects that may arise from technologies will have commercial applications.

It is possible that third parties may assert intellectual property infringement, unfair competition or like claims against HomeStay under copyright, trade secret, patent, or other laws. While HomeStay is not aware of any claims of this nature in relation to any of the intellectual property rights in which it has or will acquire an interest, such claims, if made, may harm, directly or indirectly, HomeStay’s business. If HomeStay is forced to defend claims of intellectual property infringement, whether they are with or without merit or are determined in HomeStay’s favour, the costs of such litigation may be potentially significant and may divert management's attention from normal commercial operations.

(j)

Reliance on third party technology risk

HomeStay intends to grow the Intelligent Home and the Intelligent Home Platform in a way in which it can be utilised by a number of operating systems, internet platforms and other hardware devices. While HomeStay will therefore depend on its products being able to operate on a range of systems, platforms and devices, it is unable to control third party developers of such systems. Any changes to external platforms, systems or devices that give preference to competing products or adversely impact on the functionality of HomeStay’s products may render consumers less likely to use HomeStay’s products, which may have a detrimental impact on HomeStay’s financial performance. Likewise, HomeStay’s products are predicated on consumers being able to access the internet and cellular networks. If third party providers raise the cost of these networks or restrict the ability of consumers to access these networks via HomeStay’s products, this is likely to detrimentally affect HomeStay’s financial performance.

The Intelligent Home incorporates licensed technology from third party platform providers on standard terms and conditions, such as payment gateways, chatbots and project management platforms. Should such licences be terminated or cease to operate, HomeStay will be required to seek alternative platforms or arrangements. There is a risk that such platforms may not be available to HomeStay on equivalent terms, or at all, which may require additional expenditure to continue to operate the Intelligent Home and may have an adverse effect on HomeStay’s ongoing operations.

(k) Contract Risk

The operations of HomeStay will require the involvement of a number of third parties, including suppliers, contractors and customers. With respect to these third parties, and despite applying best practice in terms of pre-contracting due diligence, HomeStay is unable to completely avoid the risk of:

  • (A) financial failure or default by a participant in any joint venture to which HomeStay may become a party;

15

  • (B) insolvency, default on performance or delivery, or any managerial failure by any of the operators and contractors used by HomeStay in its activities; or

  • (C) insolvency, default on performance or delivery, or any managerial failure by any other service providers used by HomeStay or operators for any activity.

Financial failure, insolvency, default on performance or delivery, or any managerial failure by such third parties may have a material impact on HomeStay’s operations and performance. Whilst best practice pre-contracting due diligence is undertaken for all third parties engaged by HomeStay, it is not possible for HomeStay to predict or protect itself completely against all such contract risks.

(l)

Regulatory risk

While there is presently no obligation for HomeStay to obtain any licenses or other regulatory approvals to undertake its business, the introduction of new legislation or amendments to existing legislation by governments, developments in existing common law, or the respective interpretation of the legal requirements in any of the legal jurisdictions which govern HomeStay’s operations or contractual obligations, could impact adversely on the assets, operations and, ultimately, the financial performance of HomeStay and its shares. In addition, there is a commercial risk that legal action may be taken against HomeStay in relation to commercial matters.

(m)

Foreign exchange risk

HomeStay may operate in a variety of jurisdictions, including Singapore and Australia, and as such, expects to generate revenue and incur costs and expenses in more than one currency. Accordingly, the depreciation of the Australian dollar and/or the appreciation of the foreign currency relative to the Australian dollar could result in a translation loss on consolidation which is taken directly to shareholder equity.

Any depreciation of the foreign currency relative to the Australian currency may result in lower than anticipated revenue. HomeStay will be affected on an ongoing basis by foreign exchange risks between the Australian dollar and the other foreign currencies and will have to monitor this risk.

(n)

Competition risk

The industry in which HomeStay will be involved is subject to domestic and global competition. While similar offerings to those provided by HomeStay may exist internationally, HomeStay is not aware of any direct competitors operating in the jurisdictions targeted by HomeStay. Although HomeStay will undertake reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, HomeStay will have no influence or control over the activities or actions of its competitors, which activities or actions may, positively or negatively, affect the operating and financial performance of HomeStay.

(o)

Product liability risk

HomeStay may be exposed to liability claims if its products or services are provided in fault and/or cause harm to its customers. As a result, HomeStay may have to expend significant financial and managerial resources to defend against such claims. If a successful claim is made against HomeStay, HomeStay may be fined or sanctioned, and its reputation and brand may be negatively impacted, which could

16

materially and adversely affect its reputation, business prospects, financial condition and results of operation.

(p) Insurance risk

HomeStay faces various risks in conducting its business and may lack adequate insurance coverage or may not have the relevant insurance coverage. HomeStay believes it has reasonably adequate coverage for third-party liability insurance, product liability insurance and business interruption insurance. However, HomeStay’s insurance coverage may not be adequate. If HomeStay incurs substantial losses or liabilities and its insurance coverage is unavailable or inadequate to cover such losses or liabilities, HomeStay’s financial position and financial performance may be adversely affected.

(q) Risks associated with failure to deal with growth

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

(r)

Credit risks

HomeStay will be exposed to credit risks relating to delayed or non-payments from its customers. A failure by HomeStay to adequately assess and manage credit risk may result in credit losses potentially resulting in a material adverse effect on HomeStay’s business, operating and financial performance, including decreased operating cash flows.

(s)

Dependence on the Internet

The successful continuation of the Intelligent Home and the Intelligent Home Platform will depend to some extent on the continued acceptance of the internet as a communications and commerce platform for individuals, devices and enterprises. The internet could become less viable as a business tool due to delays in the development or adoption of new standards and protocols to handle increased demands of internet activity, security, reliability, cost, ease-of-use, accessibility and quality-of-service.

The performance of the internet and its acceptance as a business tool have been harmed by “viruses,” “worms” and similar malicious programs, and the internet has experienced a variety of outages and other delays as a result of damage to portions of its infrastructure. If for any reason the internet does not remain a widespread communications medium and commercial platform, the demand for the Company’s products would be significantly reduced, which would harm its business.

(t)

Sales and Marketing Success

There is no guarantee that sales and marketing campaigns undertaken by the Company will be successful. If they are not, the Company may encounter difficulty in creating market awareness of the Intelligent Home Platform, which would likely have an adverse impact on its revenues.

(u)

Privacy Concerns

Regulations in various jurisdictions limit tracking and collection of personal identification and information. If HomeStay breaches such regulations, its business, reputation, financial position and financial performance may be detrimentally

17

affected. External events may also cause regulators to amend regulations in respect of the collection and use of user information. Any amended regulations may introduce controls which make the operation of certain types of tracking technologies unusable, which could damage HomeStay’s financial position and financial performance by adding costs by the requirement to develop and implement new technologies.

(v)

Reliance on Key Management Personnel

The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of HomeStay depends substantially on its senior management and directors. HomeStay’s future depends, in part, on the continued contributions of its executive management team and other key management and technical personnel, the loss of whose services would be difficult to replace. There can be no assurance that there will be no detrimental impact on the performance of HomeStay or its growth potential if one or more of these employees cease their employment and suitable replacements are not identified and engaged in a timely manner.

If contracts with key management personnel are terminated or breached, or if the relevant personnel were no longer to continue in their current roles, HomeStay would need to engage alternative staff, and HomeStay’s operations and business may be adversely affected. HomeStay may not be able to hire and retain such personnel at compensation levels consistent with its existing compensation and salary structure, and the inability to continue to attract appropriately qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on its business.

(w) Litigation

HomeStay may in the ordinary course of business become involved in litigation and disputes, for example with its contractors or clients. Any such litigation or dispute could involve significant economic costs and damage to relationships with contractors, clients or other stakeholders. Any such outcomes may have an adverse impact on HomeStay’s business, market reputation and financial condition and financial performance. The Company is not currently engaged in any litigation.

(x)

Future Funding Needs

Further funding may be required by HomeStay in the event costs exceed estimates or revenues do not meet estimates, to support its ongoing operations and implement its strategies. For example, funding may be needed to develop new and existing products or acquire complementary businesses and technologies. Accordingly, HomeStay may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. There can be no assurance that such funding will be available on satisfactory terms or at all at the relevant time. Any inability to obtain sufficient financing for HomeStay’s activities and future projects may result in the delay or cancellation of certain activities or projects, which would likely adversely affect the potential growth of HomeStay.

4.2 General risks

(a) Economic and financial market risks

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

18

Further, share market conditions may affect the value of the Securities regardless of the Company’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

  • (D) general economic outlook;

  • (E) interest rates and inflation rates;

  • (F) currency fluctuations;

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

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

  • (I) terrorism or other hostilities.

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

(b) Force majeure

The Company, now or in the future, may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company including labour unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, extreme weather conditions, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions.

(c) Acquisitions

As part of its business strategy, the Company may make acquisitions of, or significant investments in, companies, products, technologies and/or products that are complementary to the Company’s business. Any such future transactions are accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making acquisitions of companies, products and technologies, such as integrating cultures and systems of operation, relocation of operations, short term strain on working capital requirements, achieving the sales and margins anticipated and retaining key staff and user and supplier relationships.

(d) Trading price of Shares

The Company’s operating results, economic and financial prospects and other factors will affect the trading price of the Shares. In addition, the price of Shares is subject to varied and often unpredictable influences on the market for equities, including, but not limited to, general economic conditions including the performance of the Australian dollar on world markets, inflation rates, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, variations in the general market for listed stocks in general, changes to government policy, legislation or regulation, industrial disputes, general operational and business risks and hedging or arbitrage trading activity that may develop involving the Shares.

In particular, the share prices for many companies have been and may in the future be highly volatile, which in many cases may reflect a diverse range of non-company specific influences such as global hostilities and tensions relating to certain unstable regions of the world, acts of terrorism and the general state of the global economy. No assurances can be made that the Company’s market performance will not be adversely affected by any such market fluctuations or factors..

19

4.3 Other risks

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as an exhaustive list of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the securities offered under this Prospectus. Therefore, the Securities to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those securities.

Investors should consider that an investment in the Company is highly speculative and should consult their professional adviser before deciding whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

20

5. Additional information

5.1 Continuous disclosure

As the Company is admitted to the official list of ASX, the Company is a “disclosing entity” for the purposes of the Corporations Act. As such, it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose to the market any information it has which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company’s securities.

Price sensitive information is publicly released through ASX before it is disclosed to Shareholders and market participants. Distribution of other information to Shareholders and market participants is also managed through disclosure to ASX. In addition, the Company posts information on its website after the ASX confirms an announcement has been made, with the aim of making the information readily accessible to the widest audience.

Investors are encouraged to check and monitor any further announcements made by the Company to ASX prior to securities being issued under the Offer. To do so, please refer to the Company’s ASX announcements platform via www.asx.com.au.

By virtue of section 713 of the Corporations Act, the Company is entitled to issue a “transaction-specific” prospectus in respect of the Offers.

In general terms, a “transaction-specific prospectus” is only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of securities on the Company and the rights and liabilities attaching to the securities. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, financial position and performance, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.

As a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act, the Company states that:

  • (a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;

  • (b) copies of documents lodged with ASIC in relation to the Company may be obtained from, or inspected at, an office of ASIC; and

  • (c) it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the latest Closing Date:

  • (i) the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2018;

  • (ii) any half-year financial report of the Company lodged with ASIC after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to above and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC; and

  • (iii) all continuous disclosure notices given by the Company after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to above and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with ASIC (see below).

There is no information which has been excluded from a continuous disclosure notice in accordance with the Listing Rules that investors or their professional advisers:

  • (a) would reasonably require for the purpose of making an informed assessment of:

(i) the assets and liabilities, financial position and performance, profits and losses and prospects of the Company; and

21

(ii) the rights and liabilities attaching to the securities the subject of this Prospectus; and

  • (b) would reasonably expect to find in this Prospectus.

This Prospectus contains information specific to the Offer. If investors require further information in relation to the Company, they are recommended to take advantage of the opportunity to inspect or obtain copies of the documents referred to above.

The following announcements have been lodged with ASX in respect of the Company since the Company lodged its annual financial report for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 on 29 March 2019.

5.3 Rights and liabilities attaching to Shares

The following is a general description of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares. This summary is not exhaustive. Full details of provisions relating to rights attaching to the Shares are contained in the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules and the Company’s Constitution. A copy of the Company’s Constitution was released to ASX on 14 January 2020.

24

(a) General meetings

Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.

Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution.

(b) Voting rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares, at general meetings of Shareholders or classes of Shareholders:

  • (i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;

  • (ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and

  • (iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for the Share, but in respect of partly paid Shares shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such Shares registered in the Shareholder’s name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).

(c) Dividend rights

Subject to the rights of any preference Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the Shareholders entitled to the dividend which shall be payable on all Shares according to the proportion that the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Shares.

The Directors may from time to time pay to the Shareholders any interim dividends as they may determine. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of the Company any amounts that they may determine as reserves, to be applied at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the profits of the Company may be properly applied.

Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company may, by resolution of the Directors, implement a dividend reinvestment plan on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit and which provides for any dividend which the Directors may declare from time to time payable on Shares which are participating Shares in the dividend reinvestment plan, less any amount which the Company shall either pursuant to the Constitution or any law be entitled or obliged to retain, be applied by the Company to the payment of the subscription price of Shares.

(d) Winding-up

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, divide among the shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as he

25

considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.

The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution of the Company, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any Shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.

(e) Shareholder liability

As the Shares under the Prospectus are fully paid shares, they are not subject to any calls for money by the Directors and will therefore not become liable for forfeiture.

(f) Transfer of Shares

Generally, Shares are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules.

(g) Variation of rights

Pursuant to section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of Shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to Shares.

If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of Shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of three-quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

(h) Alteration of Constitution

The Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. In addition, at least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

  • (iii) if admitted to the official list of ASX at the time, apply for official quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options.

If a notice delivered under 5.5(g)(ii) for any reason is not effective to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors, the Company must, no later than 20 Business Days after becoming aware of such notice being ineffective, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors.
