KEY RISKS

Acquisition and Equity Raising Risks

Due diligence risk

Uniti has performed certain due diligence on the Velocity assets owned by Telstra that are the subject of the Acquisition. There is a risk that due diligence conducted has not identified issues that would have been material to the decision to enter into the Acquisition. A material adverse issue which was not identified prior to completion of the Acquisition could have an adverse impact on the financial performance or operations of Uniti. As is usual in the conduct of acquisitions, the due diligence process undertaken by Uniti identified a number of risks associated with the Acquisition, which Uniti has had to evaluate and manage. The mechanisms used by Uniti to manage these risks included in certain circumstances the acceptance of the risk as tolerable on commercial grounds such as materiality. There is a risk that the approach taken by Uniti may be insufficient to mitigate the risk, or that the materiality of these risks may have been underestimated, and hence they may have a material adverse impact on Uniti's earnings and financial position.

Counterparty and contractual risk

Pursuant to the Acquisition agreements, Uniti has agreed to acquire certain assets owned by Telstra relating to the Velocity network owned and operated by Telstra (via a "Business Sale and Assets Agreement") and to provide Telstra with exclusive use of the acquired assets for a licencing fee until 1 July 2022 (via a "Licence Agreement").

The ability of Uniti to achieve its stated objectives will depend on the performance by the parties of their obligations under the Acquisition agreements, in particular the Licence Agreement, as well as other agreements. If any party defaults in the performance of their obligations, it may be necessary for Uniti to approach a court to seek a legal remedy, which can be costly, as well as manage the commercial impact of stepping to operate the assets.

==> picture [281 x 126] intentionally omitted <==

Equity underwriting risk

Uniti has entered into an underwriting agreement under which the Lead Manager has agreed to fully underwrite the Placement, subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement. Prior to settlement of the Placement, there are certain events which, if they were to occur, may affect the Lead Manager's obligation to underwrite the Placement. If certain conditions are not satisfied or certain events occur under the underwriting agreement, the Lead Manager may terminate the agreement which may require Uniti to search for alternative financing. The ability of the Lead Manager to terminate the underwriting agreement in respect of some events (including breach of the underwriting agreement by Uniti, market disruption or regulatory action) will depend (amongst other things) on whether the event has or is likely to have a material adverse effect on the success, settlement or marketing of the Placement, or could reasonably be expected to give rise to a contravention by, or liability for, the Lead Manager under applicable law. If the underwriting agreement is terminated for any reason, then Uniti may not receive the full amount of the proceeds expected under the Placement, its financial position might change and it might need to take other steps to raise capital or to fund the Acquisition.

Debt finance

Uniti's financiers have agreed to provide $50 million of debt funding to Uniti through an increase to an existing facility. Prior to drawdown of funds under that financing, there are certain events which, if they were to occur or not occur as the case may be, may affect the financiers' obligation to provide the debt financing. If certain conditions are not satisfied or certain events occur, the financiers' may terminate the obligation to provide funding which may require Uniti to search for alternative funding sources for the Acquisition, which may include additional equity funding. If the arrangements with the financiers is terminated for any reason, then Uniti may not receive the full amount of the proceeds expected from its debt funding, its financial position might change and it might need to take other steps to raise capital or to fund the Acquisition.

KEY RISKS (CONT’D)

Risks related to an investment in Uniti

Competition

Uniti’s CBE business unit operates in suburban and metropolitan markets where customers have the choice of a number of alternative suppliers of broadband internet and data connectivity. Examples of alternative suppliers include the resellers of NBN Co and the mobile operators currently delivering 4G cellular services and beginning to deliver 5G cellular services in these markets. Uniti’s ability to attract and retain customers will be affected by alternative service and price offerings by competitors in the markets in which the Uniti operates. For example, Uniti would be adversely impacted if NBN Co reduced its wholesale prices for retailers and those price reductions flowed through to retail prices

Uniti’s W&I business unit operates in a growing market of private fibre construction and operation. There is a relatively low barrier to entry for new players to this market, and it could see other players come in. NBN is the main operator in this area with the largest market share.

Delays in construction

Uniti’s W&I business unit has contracts in place for the delivery of network infrastructure in new developments. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the property market, there may be a delay in construction of those new developments and in the signing of new developer agreements and/or delay in the construction of dwellings under these new agreements, resulting in delays in the realisation of revenue from these contracts.

Reliance on key management personnel

Uniti’s performance depends significantly on its key management personnel managing and growing its business.

The unexpected loss of any key management personnel, or the inability on the part of Uniti to attract experienced personnel, may adversely affect its future financial performance.

Acquisition strategy may not be successful

Uniti intends to selectively pursue acquisitions to complement its organic growth. However, Uniti may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates at acceptable prices or complete and integrate acquisitions successfully.

Even if successfully executed and integrated, there can be no guarantee of continued successful performance of those acquisitions. To the extent that Uniti’s acquisition strategy is unsuccessful, its financial performance could be adversely impacted.

Network performance

Uniti depends on the performance, reliability and availability of its technology platform, including its online led customer service platform, call centre and communications systems as well as the network it operates as a wholesale provider. In the event that either or any of these platforms or networks are damaged, faulty or subject to weather damage, hacking or malicious interventions, Uniti’s financial performance may be impacted.

==> picture [281 x 126] intentionally omitted <==

Impact of changing technology on Uniti’s competitive position

Uniti relies on the use of third party hardware and software technologies to deliver its products and services. These technologies are required to continually perform to expected standards, without disruption or cessation. If the performance of these technologies deteriorated, there may be an impact on reputation, ability to deliver services and customer growth. Wireless technology changes are rapid, and failure to invest or upgrade to new technologies to remain competitive may lead to a loss of opportunities for Uniti, which may materially affect future business operations and the financial results.

Impact of “Country of origin” issues relating to network equipment on Uniti’s competitive position

Like other fibre operators, Uniti utilises components sourced from international third parties in the construction of its network, and the edge equipment that it utilises to enable delivery of telecommunication bandwidth. Recent changes in the security stance from the government in relation to equipment and components sourced from some countries means that Uniti may need to replace some of the hardware components in its network earlier than anticipated and before the usual replacement / upgrade path to address concerns in market as well as potential new regulatory requirements. This could result in an increase in capital expenditure over a period.

Regulatory risks

Uniti operates in a heavily regulated environment. There is a risk that any changes in law, regulation or government policy affecting the operations of Uniti (which may or may not be enforced retrospectively) will have an impact on Uniti's performance and profitability. This may include changes to the tax system or the Telecommunications infrastructure framework.

Brand and reputation damage

The success of Uniti is largely dependent on its reputation and branding.

Maintaining the strength of the reputation and branding of Uniti is integral to its ability to maintain relationships with existing customers, appeal to new customers, maintain sales growth and attract key employees. Factors which adversely affect Uniti’s reputation may have a negative impact on its competitiveness, growth and profitability.

KEY RISKS (CONT’D)

General market risks

Risks associated with investment in equity capital

There are risks associated with any investment in a company listed on the ASX. The value of shares may rise above or below the current share price or the Offer Price depending on the financial and operating performance of Uniti and external factors over which Uniti and its Board have no control. These external factors include: economic conditions in Australia and overseas which may have a negative impact on equity capital markets; changing investor sentiment in the local and international stock markets; changes in domestic or international fiscal, monetary, regulatory and other government policies and developments and general conditions in the markets in which Uniti proposes to operate and which may impact on the future value and pricing of shares. No assurances can be given that the New Shares will trade at or above the Offer Price. None of Uniti, its Board or any other person guarantees the market performance of the New Shares

Major shareholder risk

Uniti currently has a number of substantial shareholders on its share register. There is a risk that these shareholders, future substantial shareholders, or other large shareholders may sell their shares at a future date. This could cause the price of Uniti shares to decline

Taxation

Future changes in taxation law, including changes in interpretation or application of the law by the courts or taxation authorities, may affect taxation treatment of an investment in Uniti shares or the holding and disposal of those shares. Further, changes in tax law, or changes in the way tax law is expected to be interpreted, in the jurisdictions in which Uniti operates, may impact the future tax liabilities and performance of Uniti. Any changes to the current rates of income tax applying to individuals and trusts will similarly impact on shareholder returns

==> picture [281 x 126] intentionally omitted <==

Liquidity and realisation risk

There may be few or many potential buyers or sellers of Uniti Shares on the ASX at any time. This may affect the volatility of the market price of Uniti's shares. It may also affect the prevailing market price at which shareholders are able to sell their Uniti shares

General economic conditions

Adverse changes in economic conditions such as interest rates, exchange rates, inflation, government policy, national and international economic conditions and employment rates amongst others are outside Uniti’s control and have the potential to have an adverse impact on Uniti and its operations
