OVERVIEW

  • The TEK pre-tax NTA as at 28 February 2025 was 24.6 cps compared to 25.6 cps as at 31 January 2024.

  • Within the listed investment portfolio, some of the recent positive movers were negative contributors during the period, including Calix Limited, Credit Clear Limited, Mesoblast Limited and Brainchip Holdings Limited. This negative performance was slightly offset by positive contributions from Spacetalk Limited, Cluey Limited, and Envirosuite Limited.

  • Envirosuite Limited received a non-binding, conditional and indicative proposal, announced by the company on 25 February 2025, to acquire 100% of the securities for cash consideration of $0.10 per share. This indicative proposal represents a 120% premium to the volume-weighted average price of Envirosuite’s shares for the one month prior to the announcement.

  • This proposal represents an example of the inherent value embedded within the TEK investment portfolio. TEK will continue to monitor the process closely.

  • During the month TEK purchased 3,253,892 shares under its on-market share buyback at an average price of 13.5 cps. The current on-market share buyback expires on 23 October 2025 however, TEK has paused the buyback program in March, pending a further assessment of the market volatility and emerging opportunities. Independently, the Chairman has indicated an intention to buy TEK shares on-market.

  • TEK released its Appendix 4D and 2025 Half Year Accounts on 25 February 2025.

CHAIRMAN’S COMMENTS

“During the February reporting period, the value of TEK’s portfolio was slightly down.

The current negative sentiment being witnessed in global markets is being driven by uncertainty around the potential effects of the geopolitical environment as well as the other global trade and economic policy measures. TEK is watching closely and assessing the portfolio for where opportunities may arise.

TEK is assessing the half year reports for all its portfolio companies, meeting with management and being active in conversations where change may be required.

With TEK having paused the buyback in March, I have indicated an intention to buy TEK shares on-market via Thorney Investment Group.
