LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear AIR Shareholders,

On behalf of the Directors of Tamawood Limited ( Tamawood ), I am pleased to present you with this compelling opportunity to become a shareholder in Tamawood.

Tamawood is offering to acquire all your shares in AIR by way of an off-market takeover offer under which you will receive, subject to the terms and conditions of the takeover offer, one (1) Tamawood Share for every five (5) AIR Shares you own ( Takeover Offer ).

The AIR Independent Director, in the absence of a Superior Proposal, recommends that AIR Shareholders accept the Takeover Offer. As at the date of this Bidder’s Statement, Tamawood’s offer is the only offer that has been made for AIR Shares.

The Takeover Offer provides AIR Shareholders with, among other reasons, the following key benefits:

  • The opportunity to be part of a strong home building company that is more integrated with respect to:

  • supply of kitchen appliances, sanitary-ware, bathroom products, solar hot water and photovoltaic systems used in homes ( AstiVita Products );

  • control over the selection of AstiVita Products that are best suited to the needs of Tamawood customers

  • efficiency in the ordering and handling of AstiVita Products for use in Tamawood built homes;

  • handling of product warranties, maintenance and service for AstiVita Products.

  • Tamawood can leverage its stronger financial position to negotiate larger purchasing volumes. Having the ability to increase inventory levels will help to reduce the impact of supply chain delays.

  • AIR is currently unlikely to pay dividends for the next 5 years meaning that AIR Shareholders will not be able to realise the value in AIR’s franking credit reserves. The New Tamawood Group is expected to pay regular dividends and will be able to utilise AIR’s accumulated tax losses of $16.8m and franking credits of $1.497m, to the advantage of all shareholders of the New Tamawood Group.

The members of the AIR Board and other key AIR Shareholders which together own approximately 87.46% of all AIR Shares on issue as at the date of this Bidder’s Statement, have advised AIR that, in the absence of a Superior Proposal, they intend to accept and/or procure the acceptance of the Takeover Offer in respect of all of the AIR Shares that they control.[1]

The Conditions of the Takeover Offer are explained further in Section 9 of Annexure A and include obtaining the necessary approvals from Tamawood Shareholders required as a result of the Takeover Offer.

We encourage you to read this Bidder’s Statement carefully, including the risk factors set out in Section 8 before accepting the Takeover Offer.

To accept the Takeover Offer, you must follow the instructions on the Acceptance Form enclosed with this Bidder’s Statement.

1 For further information on the intentions of certain AIR Shareholders, please see Section 9.1.

BZV\KTM\82950719\1

The Takeover Offer is open for your acceptance until 5.00 pm (AEST) on 19 May 2022, unless extended or withdrawn.

If you have any questions about the Takeover Offer, please contact your professional financial advisor.

Yours faithfully

Nominee who will sell those Tamawood Shares and remit the
sale proceeds (less any transaction costs) to you by cheque
in Australian dollars.
Section 8 of
Annexure A
What is the value
of the Takeover
Offer?
The implied value of the Offer as at the date of this Bidder’s
Statement is $0.63 per AIR Share.

withdrawn or extended in accordance with the Corporations

Page 9

How do I accept
the Takeover
Offer?
To accept the Takeover Offer, you should follow the
instructions set out in this Bidder’s Statement and in the
enclosed Acceptance Form.
See your
Acceptance
Form enclosed
with this
Bidder’s
Statement and
Section 4 of
Annexure A.
Can I accept the
Takeover Offer for
part of my
holding?
No, you must accept the Takeover Offer for all of Your AIR
Shares.
Section 4(a) of
Annexure A
If I accept the
Takeover Offer
can I withdraw my
acceptance?
You cannot withdraw or revoke your acceptance unless a
withdrawal right arises under the Corporations Act. A
withdrawal right will arise if, after you have accepted the
Takeover Offer, Tamawood varies the Takeover Offer in a
way that postpones for more than 1 month the time that
Tamawood has to meet its obligations under the Takeover
Offer (for example, if Tamawood extends the Offer Period for
more than 1 month while the Takeover Offer remains subject
to any of the Conditions).
Section 6(a) of
Annexure A
What happens if I
do not accept the
Takeover Offer?
If you do not accept the Takeover Offer and Tamawood
acquires a Relevant Interest in at least 90% of AIR Shares
and the other conditions of the Takeover Offer are satisfied or
waived, Tamawood intends to proceed to compulsorily
acquire the outstanding AIR Shares. You will be invited to
claim the Takeover Offer Consideration. Therefore, accepting
the Takeover Offer will result in you receiving your Takeover
Offer Consideration sooner if you accept the Takeover Offer,
rather than having your AIR Shares compulsorily acquired.
Section 6
If the Takeover Offer becomes, or is declared, unconditional
but Tamawood does not become entitled to compulsorily
acquire your AIR Shares under the Corporations Act, unless
you sell your AIR Shares, you will remain a shareholder in
AIR. In order for the Takeover Offer to become unconditional
without Tamawood being entitled to compulsorily acquire Your
Shares, AIR consent will be required.
In these circumstances, depending on the number of AIR
Shares acquired by Tamawood, you may be a minority AIR
Shareholder in what will be a less liquid stock as AIR will not
be listed on the ASX.

BZV\KTM\82950719\1

Page 10

What happens if
Tamawood
improves the
Takeover Offer
Consideration?
If Tamawood improves the Takeover Offer Consideration, all
the AIR Shareholders who accept the Takeover Offer
(whether or not they have accepted the Takeover Offer before
or after such improvement) will be entitled to the benefit of the
improved Takeover Offer Consideration, should the Takeover
Offer become or be declared unconditional.
This is a
requirement of,
and governed
by, the
Corporations
Act.
Are there
conditions to the
Takeover Offer?
The Takeover Offer is subject to the Conditions set out in
Section 9 of Annexure A.
As at the date of this Bidder’s Statement, Tamawood is not
aware of any act, omission, event of fact that would result in
any of the Conditions to the Offer being not satisfied.
Section 9 of
Annexure A sets
out the
Conditions in
full.
What if the
Conditions are not
satisfied or
waived?
If the Takeover Offer closes and the Conditions are not
satisfied or waived (except in relation to the Minimum
Acceptance Condition which cannot be waived without the
consent of AIR), the Takeover Offer will lapse, and your
acceptance will be void. In other words, you will continue to
hold your AIR Shares (unless you otherwise sell them).
Tamawood will announce whether the Conditions have been
satisfied or waived during the Offer Period in accordance with
its obligations under the Corporations Act.
Section 10 of
Annexure A
Will my new
Tamawood Shares
be listed on ASX?
Within 10 days of the date of this Bidder’s Statement,
Tamawood will apply to ASX for Official Quotation of the new
Tamawood Shares to be issued as Takeover Offer
Consideration. Quotation of the new Tamawood Shares
depends on ASX exercising its discretion to admit them to
quotation on ASX.

Section 7

2. Why you should accept the Offer

Tamawood believes you should ACCEPT the Takeover Offer for the following reasons:

  • The AIR business would no longer be profitable if Tamawood went elsewhere for the supply of its household items, some 90% plus of AIR’s business.

  • The opportunity to be part of a strong home building company that is more integrated with respect to:

  • supply of kitchen appliances, sanitary-ware, bathroom products, solar hot water and photovoltaic systems used in homes ( AstiVita Products );

  • control over the selection of AstiVita Products that are best suited to the needs of Tamawood customers

  • efficiency in the ordering and handling of AstiVita Products for use in Tamawood built homes;

  • handling of product warranties, maintenance and service for AstiVita Products.

  • Tamawood can leverage its stronger financial position to negotiate larger purchasing volumes. Having the ability to increase inventory levels will help to reduce the impact of supply chain delays.

  • AIR is currently unlikely to pay dividends for the next 5 years meaning that AIR Shareholders will not be able to realise the value in AIR’s franking credit reserves. The New Tamawood Group is expected to pay regular dividends and will be able to utilise AIR’s accumulated unutilised tax losses of $16.8m (as at 30 June 2021) and franking credits of $1.497m, to the advantage of all shareholders of the New Tamawood Group.

  • The AIR Independent Director recommends that you accept the Takeover Offer.

  • There is strong support from major AIR Shareholders

  • There is no Superior Proposal.

  • You may be eligible for capital gains tax rollover relief

BZV\KTM\82950719\1

Page 14

The above is only a headline summary of some of the reasons why you should accept the Takeover Offer. Each of the reasons is explained below.

If you wish to accept this Takeover Offer, you must return the signed Acceptance Form by 5.00pm (AEST) on 19 May 2022.

Tamawood believes you should ACCEPT the Takeover Offer for the following reasons:

2.1 Tamawood secures long term supply of key household items including appliances, plumbing/bathroom products, solar systems and hot water systems.

Currently Tamawood represents over 90% of AIR’s business. If Tamawood seeks alternative suppliers other than AIR’s products then AIR would have no business and significantly reduce profitability and impact AIR’s ongoing business. If Tamawood acquires ownership of AIR then there is more commercial alignment between the two companies thereby mitigating this risk for AIR Shareholders. By accepting the Takeover Offer and becoming a Tamawood Shareholder, AIR Shareholders will retain an indirect interest in AIR’s business.

2.2 Tamawood can leverage its stronger financial position to negotiate better supply terms and improve warehouse stock levels

Tamawood has a stronger financial position compared to AIR which it expects to be able to leverage in respect of negotiating pricing for larger orders for AIR Products on better commercial terms. This in turn, if successful, will further reduce supply chain delays over the next 12 months.

2.3 Tamawood obtain franking credits and tax losses

Tamawood will be able to access $1.497 million in franking credits of AIR, which will benefit Tamawood’s ability to continue to pay fully franked dividends to all shareholders of the New Tamawood Group, which includes AIR Shareholders who accept the Takeover Offer. In addition, Tamawood will be able to utilise AIR’s tax losses of $16.8m (as at 30 June 2021), thus reducing Tamawood’s tax expense over the next 5 years. This will also indirectly benefit AIR Shareholders who accept the Takeover Offer and become shareholders of the New Tamawood Group

2.4 The AIR Shareholders will be able to access Tamawood fully franked dividends.

Tamawood has a track record as a profitable residential house builder, paying consistent fully franked dividends. Tamawood has continually delivered profits and returns to its Shareholders in the form of fully franked dividends and share market value since its listing of 50 cents in August 2000. AIR has not paid any dividends since 2011 and is unlikely to pay fully franked dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, AIR is unable to derive value from its franking credit reserves. As part of the New Tamawood Group, these franking credits will be

BZV\KTM\82950719\1

Page 15

accessible by Tamawood when it pays dividends, extending its ability to pay these dividends as full franked.

2.5 AIR Independent Directors recommends that you accept the Takeover Offer

The AIR Independent Director recommends that AIR Shareholders accept the Offer, in the absence of a Superior Proposal. All the AIR Directors, representing 70.19% of all AIR Shares, intend to accept, or procure the acceptance of, the Offer.

2.6

Strong support from major AIR Shareholders

Lev Mizikovsky, representing 67.94% of all AIR Shares on issue, has provided Tamawood with a written statement confirming his intentions to accept the Offer and procure that his associated entities accept the offer, subject to no Superior Proposal emerging. The following letters of confirmation of intentions to accept the Offer have been provided:

AIR Shareholder Shares Held Percentages
Lev Mizikovsky and his
associated entities
16,878,075 67.94%
Odalreach Pty Ltd 3,333,334 13.42%
Joseph Mizikovsky 988,715 3.98%
Stoddart Building Products
Pty Ltd
220,394 0.89%
Totals 21,420,518 86.23%

The commitment by the above AIR Shareholders supports the view of the Directors as to the merits of the Offer. These commitments also improve the prospects of the Offer being consummated in a timely manner.

2.7

No Superior Proposal has emerged

No Superior Proposals have emerged at the date of this Bidder’s Statement. If the Takeover Offer does not complete, and no alternative proposal emerges, AIR will continue as a listed entity.

2.8

You may be eligible for capital gains tax rollover relief

AIR Shareholders may have access to scrip for scrip rollover relief, in which case you will not incur capital gains tax ( CGT ) as a result of accepting the Takeover Offer.

Should the Takeover Offer be successful and result in Tamawood becoming the holder of 80% or more of the voting shares in AIR as at the close of the Offer Period, AIR Shareholders who would otherwise make a capital gain from the disposal of their AIR Shares pursuant to the Takeover Offer may be able to choose to obtain full scrip for scrip rollover relief.

If scrip for scrip rollover relief is available and is chosen by AIR Shareholders who would otherwise have made a capital gain on the disposal of their AIR Shares under the Takeover Offer, all of the capital gain from the disposal may be disregarded.

BZV\KTM\82950719\1

Page 16

However, AIR Shareholders may be subject to capital gains tax as a result of a later taxable event (such as a disposal) happening to the Tamawood Shares received as consideration under the Takeover Offer.

5.7 Basis for preparation of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of the International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ).

In preparing the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position in accordance with IFRS, the following historical information was used:

  • (a) the audited consolidated financial report of Tamawood as of and for the year ended 31 December 2021; and

  • (b) the audited consolidated financial report of AIR for the year ended 31 December 2021.

  • (i) the business of AIR will otherwise be continued in substantially the same manner as it is presently being conducted;

  • (ii) no major changes will be made to the business of AIR;

  • (iii) there will not be any redeployment of the fixed assets of AIR; and

  • (iv) the present three employees of AIR will continue to be employed by AIR.

The current intentions of Tamawood may change in light of material facts and circumstances at the relevant time.

  • (b) Intentions Upon Acquisition of 90% or More of AIR

If, as a result of the Takeover Offer, Tamawood becomes entitled to compulsorily acquire outstanding AIR Shares in accordance with Part 6A.1 of the Corporations Act, it intends to proceed with the compulsory acquisition of those AIR Shares.

Tamawood then intends to undertake the steps outlined in 6.2(a) above and seek to remove AIR from the Official List of the ASX.

  • (c) Intentions Upon Gaining Control (more than 50%) but Less Than 90% of AIR

Tamawood reserves its right, with AIR’s consent and subject to the status of the other Conditions, to declare the Takeover Offer free from the Minimum Acceptance Condition (or any other Condition) to the Takeover Offer. Tamawood has however decided at this stage it will not free the Takeover Offer from the 90% minimum acceptance Condition but reserves its rights in respect of the other Conditions.

If, Tamawood does declare the Takeover Offer unconditional and, following the close of the Takeover Offer, AIR becomes a controlled entity but not a wholly owned subsidiary of Tamawood, Tamawood presently intends, subject to the following, and to the extent possible, and to the extent appropriate, to implement the objectives and goals mentioned in 6.2(a).

6.3

Limitations on Intentions

The extent to which Tamawood will be able to implement these intentions will be subject to:

  • (a) the law and the ASX Listing Rules, in particular in relation to related party transactions and conflicts of interests; and

  • (b) the legal obligation of the directors of AIR to act for proper purposes and in the best interests of AIR Shareholders as a whole.

7.

Australian Tax Considerations

7.1

Overview

The following is a general summary of the Australian income tax, GST and duty considerations for AIR Shareholders who accept the Offer by Tamawood. Under the Offer, each AIR Shareholder will receive one (1) Tamawood Share for every five (5) AIR Shares held.

BZV\KTM\82950719\1

Page 30

This summary does not provide an exhaustive consideration of all possible Australian income tax, GST and duty implications that could apply to AIR Shareholders that accept the Offer. Furthermore, this summary does not consider any tax implications in jurisdictions outside of Australia.

Only AIR Shareholders that are individuals, complying superannuation funds and corporate shareholders, trusts that hold their shares on capital account have been considered in this summary. In particular, this summary is not intended to cover AIR Shareholders who:

  • (a) are exempt from Australian income tax;

  • (b) hold their AIR shares on revenue account or as trading stock;

  • (c) are partnerships or persons that are partners of such partnerships;

  • (d) acquired their AIR shares under an employee share scheme or similar employee incentive plan; or

  • (e) are subject to the taxation of financial arrangements rules in Division 230 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 in relation to gains and losses on their AIR shares.

This summary does not constitute tax advice and is intended only as a general guide to the Australian tax implications of accepting the Offer based upon Australian taxation law and administrative practice in effect as at the date of this Bidder’s Statement. It does not consider any specific facts or circumstances that may apply to AIR Shareholders. As the tax consequences of accepting the Offer depend on each AIR Shareholder’s individual circumstances, all AIR shareholders are advised to seek independent professional advice regarding the Australian and foreign tax consequences of accepting the Offer according to their own particular circumstances.

7.2 Australian Tax Resident Shareholders

This Section applies to AIR Shareholders that accept the Offer and are residents of Australia for Australian income tax purposes that hold their AIR shares on capital account.

  • (a) Capital Gains Tax (CGT) Event

By accepting the Offer, AIR Shareholders will dispose of their AIR Shares to Tamawood in exchange for the Consideration Shares, comprising Tamawood Shares. The disposal of the AIR Shares to Tamawood will give rise to a CGT event. The time of the CGT event should be the date the AIR Shares are disposed of, which will be the date that AIR Shareholders enter into a contract with Tamawood.

If an AIR Shareholder does not accept the Offer and their AIR Shares are compulsorily acquired in accordance with Part 7A.1 of the Corporations Act, the date of disposal for CGT purposes will be the date when Tamawood becomes the owner of the AIR Shares.

In the absence of CGT roll-over relief, the following tax consequences are expected to arise for AIR Shareholders:

  • (i) a capital gain will be realised to the extent the capital proceeds received by AIR Shareholders from the disposal of their AIR Shares exceed the cost base of those AIR Shares; or

  • (ii) A capital loss will be realised to the extent the capital proceeds received by AIR Shareholders from the disposal of their AIR shares are less than the reduced cost base of those shares.

BZV\KTM\82950719\1

Page 31

Capital losses can be offset against capital gains derived in the same income year or in later income years. Specific loss recoupment rules apply to companies to limit their availability in future years in certain circumstances. AIR Shareholders should seek their own tax advice in relation to the operation of these rules.

  • (b) CGT Scrip for Scrip Roll-over Relief

AIR Shareholders who make a capital gain from the disposal of their AIR Shares may be eligible to choose CGT scrip for scrip roll-over relief (provided certain conditions are met). CGT scrip for scrip roll-over relief enables AIR shareholders to disregard the capital gain they make from the disposal of their AIR Shares under the Offer.

Broadly, for roll-over relief to be available, Tamawood must become the owner of 80% or more of the AIR Shares under the Offer and AIR Shareholders must make a capital gain on the disposal of their AIR Shares. In addition, both AIR shareholders and Tamawood must elect to utilise this rollover and AIR shareholders must inform Tamawood, in writing, of their respective cost bases. If a capital loss arises, no CGT scrip for scrip rollover relief is available.

AIR Shareholders do not need to inform the ATO, or document their choice to claim CGT scrip for scrip roll-over relief in any particular way, other than to complete their income tax return in a manner consistent with their choice.

  • (c) Consequences of Choosing CGT Scrip for Scrip Roll-over Relief

If an AIR Shareholder chooses to obtain CGT scrip for scrip roll-over relief, the capital gain arising on the disposal of their AIR Shares under the Offer should be disregarded.

Further, the first element of the cost base for the Tamawood Shares received is determined by attributing to them, on a reasonable basis, the existing cost base of the AIR shares exchanged under the Offer. The first element of the reduced cost base is determined similarly.

Finally, for the purposes of determining future eligibility for the CGT Discount, the acquisition date of the Tamawood Shares is taken to be the date when the AIR Shareholder originally acquired their AIR Shares.

  • (d) Consequences if CGT Scrip for Scrip Roll-over Relief is not Available or is not Chosen

If an AIR Shareholder does not qualify for CGT scrip for scrip roll-over relief or does not choose to obtain CGT scrip for scrip roll-over relief, the general CGT treatment outlined above at Section 7.1(a) will apply.

If an AIR Shareholder makes a capital loss from the disposal of their AIR Shares, this loss may be used to offset capital gains in the same or subsequent years of income (subject to satisfying certain conditions). The capital loss cannot be offset against ordinary income or carried back to offset against capital gains arising in earlier income years.

  • (e) Capital Proceeds

The capital proceeds on the disposal of the AIR Shares should be equal to the Consideration Shares received by AIR shareholders.

The capital proceeds will be equal to the market value of the Tamawood Shares received by AIR Shareholders at the time they enter into a contract with Tamawood.

BZV\KTM\82950719\1

Page 32

  • (f) Cost Base and Reduced Cost Base of an AIR Share

The cost base of an AIR share will generally be equal to the cost of acquiring the AIR Share, plus any incidental costs of acquisition and disposal (such as brokerage fees and legal costs). The reduced cost base of an AIR Share is determined in a manner similar to the cost base although some differences in the calculation of the reduced cost base may exist depending on the AIR Shareholder’s particular individual circumstances. The cost base and reduced cost base of each AIR Share will depend on the individual circumstances of each AIR shareholder.

  • (g) CGT Discount

The CGT Discount may apply to AIR Shareholders that are individuals, complying superannuation funds or trusts, who have held, or are taken to have held, their AIR Shares for at least 12 months (not including the date of acquisition or the date of disposal) at the time of the disposal of their AIR shares.

The CGT Discount is:

  • (i) one-half if the AIR Shareholder is an individual or trustee; meaning only 50% of the capital gain will be included in assessable income; and

  • (ii) one-third if the AIR shareholder is a trustee of a complying superannuation entity; meaning only two-thirds of the capital gain will be included in assessable income.

The CGT Discount is not available to AIR Shareholders that are companies.

If an AIR shareholder makes a discount capital gain, any carried forward capital losses will be applied to reduce the undiscounted capital gain before either the one-half or onethird discount is applied. The resulting amount is then included in the AIR shareholder’s net capital gain for the income year and included in assessable income.

The CGT Discount rules relating to trusts are complex. Accordingly, we recommend trustees seek their own independent advice on how the CGT Discount applies to them and the trust’s beneficiaries.

7.3 Foreign Tax Resident Shareholders

This Section applies to AIR Shareholders that accept the Offer and are not residents of Australia for Australian income tax purposes (i.e. foreign tax residents) that hold their AIR Shares on capital account. It does not apply to AIR shareholders who have held their AIR Shares at any time in carrying on a business at or through a permanent establishment in Australia.

  • (a) Indirect Australian Real Property Interests

On the basis that not more than 50% of the market value of AIR’s assets in attributable to Australian real property, the AIR shares would not meet the definition to be classified as indirect Australian real property interests. Therefore, there should be no CGT implications for the foreign resident AIR shareholders on disposal of their AIR shares, including CGT withholding tax.

  • (b) A foreign tax resident AIR Shareholder who was previously an Australian resident and chose to disregard a capital gain or loss on ceasing to be an Australian resident will be subject to the CGT consequences on disposal of their AIR Shares as detailed in Section 7.2.

BZV\KTM\82950719\1

Page 33

7.4 GST

No GST will be payable by AIR Shareholders on the acquisition of their AIR Shares by Tamawood under the Offer, or on the receipt of Tamawood Shares as consideration for acceptance of the Offer. AIR Shareholders who are registered for GST may not be entitled to input taxed credits (or only entitled to reduced input taxed credits) for any GST incurred on costs associated with the disposal of their AIR Shares.

7.5

Duty

No Australian duty should be payable by AIR shareholders on the acquisition of their AIR shares by Tamawood under the Offer, or on the receipt of Tamawood Shares as consideration for acceptance of the Offer.

8. Risk Factors

8.1

Overview

The business activities of Tamawood and the New Tamawood Group are subject to various risks that may impact on the future performance of Tamawood and the New Tamawood Group. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are outside the control of Tamawood and the New Tamawood Group and cannot be mitigated.

If the Offer becomes unconditional, AIR Shareholders who accept the Offer will become Tamawood Shareholders. In those circumstances, AIR Shareholders will:

  • (a) continue to be exposed to the risks associated to the investment in AIR as a result of their indirect interest in AIR through Tamawood;

  • (b) be exposed to the risks which are specific to an investment in Tamawood; and

  • (c) be exposed to additional risks relating to the Offer and the New Tamawood Group.

The principal risk factors are explained below. These risks are not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which Tamawood and the New Tamawood Group are exposed.

AIR Shareholders should read the Bidder’s Statement carefully and consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to accept the Offer. This Section 8 has been prepared without taking into account the individual financial objectives, financial situation and particular needs of AIR Shareholders.

An investment in the New Tamawood Group carries no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital or price at which shares will trade and should be considered speculative.

By accepting the Offer, AIR Shareholders will be investing in Tamawood.

8.2

Risks Relating to the Offer

  • (a) Transaction Completion risk

Tamawood seeks to acquire 100% of the issued capital of AIR by way of the Takeover Offer. The Takeover Offer is subject to Conditions. If any of the Conditions are not satisfied or waived (except in relation to the Minimum Acceptance Condition which cannot be waived without the consent of AIR), or any of the counterparties do not

BZV\KTM\82950719\1

Page 34

comply with their obligations, Completion of the Takeover Offer may be deferred or not occur.

(b) Transaction Due Diligence Risk

Tamawood and its advisers have performed certain pre-acquisition due diligence on AIR. While Tamawood has obtained certain warranties from AIR under the Bid Implementation Agreement with respect to information provided by AIR, there is a risk that the due diligence conducted has not identified issues that would have been material to the decision by Tamawood to acquire AIR. A material adverse issue which was not identified prior to Tamawood’s acquisition of AIR could have an adverse impact on the financial performance or operations of the relevant businesses and may have a material adverse effect on Tamawood.

  • (c) Issue of Tamawood Shares as consideration

AIR Shareholders are being offered specific quantities of Tamawood Shares as consideration under the Offer. As a result, the value of the consideration will fluctuate depending upon the market value of Tamawood Shares at any given time. Accordingly, the market value of the Tamawood Shares at the time you receive them may vary significantly from their market value on the date of your acceptance of the Offer.

  • (d) Rollover Relief

If Tamawood does not acquire a Relevant Interest in at least 80% of AIR Shares, scripfor-scrip CGT rollover relief will not be available to AIR Shareholders. Refer to Section 7 above for further details.

(e) Sale of Tamawood Shares

Under the Offer, Tamawood will issue a significant number of new Tamawood Shares. Some holders of Tamawood Shares may not intend to continue to hold their Tamawood Shares and may wish to sell them. There is a risk that this may adversely impact on the price of and demand for Tamawood Shares.

  • (f) Acquisition of Less than 90% of AIR Shares

It is possible that Tamawood could acquire a Relevant Interest of less than 90% of AIR Shares on issue under the Offer. The existence of a minority interest in AIR may have an impact on the operations of the New Tamawood Group, although the degree of this impact will depend upon the ultimate level of AIR ownership acquired by Tamawood.

8.3 Specific Risks Relating to the New Tamawood Group

This Section 8.3 sets out risks that are specific to Tamawood, AIR and the New Tamawood Group.

  • (a) Risks in respect of Tamawood’s current operations

  • (i) Supply chain risk

Tamawood and AIR each have a number of contractual arrangements with key suppliers and sub-contractors. Should any of these key suppliers or subcontractors become unable to deliver the required product or service, this may impact Tamawood’s ability to deliver products on time or on budget which may lead to a decline in profitability.

BZV\KTM\82950719\1

Page 35

(ii) Loss of key management personnel

Tamawood’s success largely depends upon key management personnel for the management of Tamawood as well as upon other management and technical personnel for the daily operation of Tamawood. Consequently, there is a possibility that Tamawood will be adversely affected if one or more of the key management personnel cease their employment.

(iii) Tax rules

Tax rules or their interpretation in relation to equity investments may change. In particular, both the level and basis of taxation may change. In addition, an investment in the Shares involves tax considerations that may differ for each Shareholder. Each prospective Shareholder is encouraged to seek professional tax advice in connection with any investment in Tamawood.

Tax law is complex and is subject to regular change. Changes in tax law, including various proposed but as yet not enacted changes in tax law may adversely impact Tamawood’s future financial performance and position.

Resulting changes in tax arrangements may adversely impact Tamawood’s future financial performance and position. In addition, future changes to other laws and regulations or accounting standards, which apply to Tamawood from time to time, could materially adversely affect Tamawood’s future financial performance and position.

  • (iv) Competition risk

Tamawood is suspectable to competition for the provision of homes in the markets in which operates. Although Tamawood will undertake all reasonable due diligence in its business decisions and operations, it 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 Tamawood’s business.

  • (v) Economic Risks

General economic conditions, movements in building material prices, interest and inflation rates may have an adverse effect on Tamawood’s activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.

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

  • (A) general economic outlook;

  • (B) interest rates and inflation rates;

  • (C) currency fluctuations;

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

  • (E) war and other hostilities.

  • (vi) Force Majeure

Tamawood, now or in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of Tamawood including labour unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive

BZV\KTM\82950719\1

Page 36

activities or sabotage, extreme weather conditions, fires, floods, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions.

Tamawood will seek to mitigate these risks to the extent possible. However, Tamawood’s ability to mitigate such risks may be limited to by occurrences outside their control.

8.4 General Risks Relating to the New Tamawood Group

  • (a) Risk of High Volume of Sale of Securities in Tamawood

If the Takeover Offer is successfully completed, Tamawood will have issued a significant number of new Shares to various parties. Some of the AIR Shareholders that receive Tamawood Shares as a result of the Takeover Offer may not intend to continue to hold those Shares and may wish to sell them on ASX. There is a risk that an increase in the amount of people wanting to sell Tamawood shares may adversely impact on the market price of Tamawood’s securities.

There can be no assurance that there will be, or continue to be, an active market for Tamawood shares or that the price of Tamawood shares will increase. As a result, AIR Shareholders may, upon selling their Tamawood Shares, receive a market price for their securities that is less than the price at the date of this Bidder’s Statement.

(b) Trading Price of Tamawood Shares

Tamawood’s operating results, economic and financial prospects and other factors will affect the trading price of the Tamawood Shares. In addition, the price of Tamawood 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 or Australian home builder stocks in particular, 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 Tamawood 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 Tamawood’s market performance will not be adversely affected by any such market fluctuations or factors.

(c) Additional Requirements for Capital

The capital requirements of the New Tamawood Group depend on numerous factors. Depending on the ability of the New Tamawood Group to generate income from its operations, the New Tamawood Group may require further financing. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the New Tamawood Group is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its exploration programmes as the case may be.

An AIR Shareholder is an Ineligible Foreign Shareholder for the purposes of the Takeover Offer if their address as shown in the register of members of AIR is in a jurisdiction other than Australia or its external territories. However, such a person will not be an Ineligible Foreign Shareholder if Tamawood is satisfied, in its sole discretion, that it is not legally or practically constrained from making the Takeover Offer to an AIR Shareholder in the relevant jurisdiction and to issue Tamawood Shares to such an AIR Shareholder on acceptance of the Takeover Offer, and that it is lawful for the AIR Shareholder to accept the Takeover Offer in such circumstances in the relevant jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything else in this Bidder’s Statement, Tamawood is not under any obligation to spend any money, or undertake any action, in order to satisfy itself concerning any of these matters.
