3 Risk factors

3.1 Introduction

This section identifies the areas the Directors regard as the major risks associated with an investment in the Company. Investors should be aware that an investment in the Company involves many risks, which may be higher than the risks associated with an investment in other companies. Intending investors should read the whole of this Prospectus in order to fully appreciate such matters and the manner in which the Company intends to operate before any decision is made in relation to Offer Securities.

There are numerous widespread risks associated with investing in any form of business and with investing in the share market generally. There is also a range of specific risks associated with the Company's business. These risk factors are largely beyond the control of the Company and its Directors because of the nature of the business of the Company. The following summary, which is not exhaustive, represents some of the major risk factors which potential investors need to be aware of.

3.2 Risks specific to the Offer

Funding risk

The Offer is not underwritten. If the Company does not raise the Minimum Subscription, it may not be able to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, notwithstanding the Minimum Subscription, there is a risk that funds raised will be less than anticipated and further funding will be required to continue the Company’s planned activities. The Company’s ability to operate its business and effectively implement its business plan within the timeframe that it is aiming to achieve, will depend in part on its ability to raise further substantial funds by way of debt and equity. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company.

Existing funds (including the funds raised under the Offer) will not be sufficient for expenditure required for certain aspects of the Company’s business plan, including for progression of its resources projects through all development requirements through to a final investment decision, and where approved, into construction.

Any additional equity financing may dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or will be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company.

Dilution

If you are issued SBC Options but do not exercise them, because either you sell those SBC Options off-market, or because you allow those SBC Options to expire without being exercised, and other Optionholders exercise their Options, your shareholding in the Company will be diluted.

3.3 Risks specific to the Company

Additional requirements for capital

Further funding will be required to implement the strategic plans of the Company for progression of its resources projects and technology interests, and also to provide for the working capital costs of the Company, including in the near term. Any additional equity

Tivan Limited – Prospectus

page | 17

financing will dilute existing shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on further financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may result in delay and/or indefinite postponement of exploration, development or production on the Company’s projects or even loss of a property interest. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company.

Given that the Company is a mineral exploration entity and not yet earning steady revenue, it is reliant on debt and equity funding to maintain its financial position. There is a risk that the Company will be unable to raise such funds when needed or on reasonable terms. Unless the Company is able to continue to raise funds as required, that failure could delay or suspend the Company’s business activities and could have a material adverse effect on the solvency of the Company.

Risk of non-fulfilment of conditions precedent

The Convertible Securities Agreement is subject to a number of conditions precedent, as summarised at section 1.11 above. There is a risk that the conditions precedent will not be satisfied and that the subscription under the Convertible Securities Agreement will not proceed.

Risk of non-receipt of future tranches of funding

The Convertible Securities Agreement provides for an initial tranche of $2.8 million in funding (before costs and allowable deductions), with the possibility to provide a further $8.4 million (to a total of $11.2 million), if agreed between the Company and the Investor. There is no obligation for the Investor to provide additional tranches of funding under the Convertible Securities Agreement unless and until agreed with the Company.

There is a risk that no such agreement will ultimately be reached, and therefore, that the Company may not receive any further funding under the Convertible Securities Agreement.

Breach and contingency risks

The terms and conditions of the Convertible Securities Agreement are summarised at section 4.7 above.

The Convertible Securities Agreement contains provisions addressing the consequences of a breach of its terms, and alternative repayment and conversion mechanisms in the event of a specified events or contingencies. If the Company breaches the Convertible Securities Agreement, it may be required to pay interest to the Investor at the default interest rate thereunder. There is a risk that the Company may breach the Convertible Securities Agreement, which would give rise to significant cash, acceleration, and default rights to the Investor.

Alternatively, if the Company's Share price drops such that an issue of Shares under the Convertible Securities Agreement is to take place at a price lower than the Nominal Floor Price (as defined therein), the Company would be liable to account to the Investor either in cash or by the issue of additional Shares. Further, the Investor may choose to accelerate redemption of the SBC Convertible Securities under the Convertible Securities Agreement at its sole discretion.

Exploration and development risks

The business of mineral project exploration, development and production, by its nature, contains elements of significant risk with no guarantee of success. The Company’s flagship

Tivan Limited – Prospectus

page | 18

asset, the Speewah Project, is still at the stage of development planning and there is no guarantee of progressing into development and production.

Ultimate and continuous success of activities is dependent on many factors such as:

  • the discovery and/or acquisition of economically recoverable reserves;

  • access to adequate capital for project development;

  • design and construction of efficient development and production infrastructure within capital expenditure budgets;

  • development of technically and commercially viable process flowsheets and mineral processing technology for the Company’s projects;

  • securing and maintaining title to interests;

  • obtaining regulatory consents and approvals necessary for the conduct of mineral resource exploration, development and production; and

  • access to competent operational management and prudent financial administration, including the availability and reliability of appropriately skilled and experienced employees, contractors and consultants.

There is no assurance that any exploration on current or future interests will result in the discovery of an economic deposit of minerals. In particular, the Company may not produce sufficient quantities or qualities of minerals to be profitable or commercially viable and may result in a total loss of the investments by the Company.

Whether or not income will result from projects undergoing exploration and development programs depends on successful exploration and establishment of production facilities.

Drilling activities carry risk and as such, activities may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled as a result of weather conditions, mechanical difficulties, shortages or delays in the delivery of drill rigs or other equipment.

Industry operating risks include fire, explosions, industrial disputes, unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment, mechanical failure or breakdown, environmental hazards such as accidental spills or leakage of liquids, gas leaks, ruptures, discharges of toxic gases or geological uncertainty. The occurrence of any of these risks could result in legal proceedings against the Company and substantial losses to the Company due to injury or loss of life, damage to or destruction of property, natural resources or equipment, pollution or other environmental damage, clean-up responsibilities, regulatory investigation, and penalties or suspension of operations. Damage occurring to third parties as a result of such risks may give rise to claims against the Company.

In addition, the Company will be subject to multi-jurisdictional compliance with governmental regulations in relation to licence conditions, the environment and operational conduct.

These factors affect the Company’s ability to establish mining and processing operations, continue with its projects, earn income from its operations and will affect the Company’s share price.

There is a risk that work will be delayed or hindered due to cost overruns, weather events, labour difficulties, or force majeure events, meaning that the pre-feasibility studies may not be delivered in the timeframe anticipated or at all. If the pre-feasibility studies are delivered, there is a risk that their conclusion projects may not be able to be exploited profitably or at

Tivan Limited – Prospectus

page | 19

all. This may have a negative effect on the value of the Company’s projects and of the Company’s securities, including the Offer Securities.

Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimates may be inaccurate

The Company has disclosed Mineral Resource and/or Ore Reserve estimates in its public disclosures based on a number of assumptions that have been made in accordance with the JORC Code. This includes disclosure of Mineral Resources for the Speewah Project.

Such estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. Estimates that were valid when made may change significantly when new information becomes available.

In addition, such estimates are necessarily imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. Should the Company encounter mineralisation or formations different from those predicted by past drilling, sampling and similar examinations, Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimates may have to be adjusted and mining plans may have to be altered in a way which could adversely affect the Company’s operations.

Production costs

All production costs, particularly labour, fuel and power, are a key risk and have the potential to adversely affect the feasibility of the Company’s projects and, when projects are in production, the Company’s profitability. If the Company’s mining projects and processing operations are subject to cost over-runs and/or higher than anticipated operating costs, this would adversely affect the feasibility of the Company’s projects, the Company’s profitability when projects are in operations, the value of the Company’s projects and in turn, the value of the Company’s securities including the Offer Securities.

Metallurgical and geotechnical risks

The economic viability of mineral recovery depends on a number of factors such as the development of an economic process route for production of concentrates and final products. Further, changes in mineralogy throughout an ore body may result in inconsistent metal recovery that may affect the viability and profitability of the Company’s projects.

The Company’s resources are subject to geotechnical risk which may adversely impact future mining operations. These risks may increase the costs of production where impacting directly on the mining of ore, or restrict the mining rate achievable.

Operational risks

Should the Company progress its projects through development and into operations, the Company’s performance will then be dependent on the effective operation of its mines, processing plants and supporting non-process infrastructure which could be affected by operational risks outside of the control of management. These risks include poor operating performance of plant and equipment, inclement weather (including lighting strikes and heavy rainfall), industrial accidents, mechanical and structural failures of processing facilities and inadequate maintenance of processing facilities and capital equipment. The Company’s operations may also be affected by force majeure, engineering difficulties and other unforeseen events.

Insurance coverage risk

Exploration, development and operation of mineral projects involve numerous risks, including unexpected or unusual geological operating conditions, rock bursts, cave-ins,

Tivan Limited – Prospectus

page | 20

ground or slope failures, fires, floods, earthquakes and other environmental occurrences, and political and social instability that could result in damage to or destruction of mineral properties or producing facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in mining caused by industrial accidents or labour disputes, changes in regulatory environment, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

It is not always possible to obtain insurance against all such risks and the Company may decide not to insure against certain risks because of high premiums or other reasons. Moreover, insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards as a result of exploration and development is not generally available to the Company or to other companies in the industry on acceptable terms. Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate any further profitability and result in increasing costs and a decline in the value of the securities of the Company.

Commodity price risk and exchange rate risk

In the future, the Company's revenue is expected to come from sale of mineral products. Therefore, its earnings will be closely related to the price and arrangements it enters into for the sale of its products. Mineral product prices inherently fluctuate and are affected by factors including the relationship between global supply and demand for minerals, forward selling by producers, the cost of production and general global economic conditions.

Commodity prices are also affected by the outlook for inflation, interest rates, currency exchange rates and supply and demand issues. These factors may have an adverse effect on the Company's exploration, development and production activities as well as its ability to fund those activities.

In particular, the Company’s profitability ultimately will depend upon the world market prices of commodities potentially including fluorspar, vanadium, titanium dioxide and iron products. If the market prices for such products fall below the Company’s production costs and remain at such levels for any sustained period of time, it may not be economically feasible to commence or continue production. This would materially and adversely affect production, profitability and the Company’s financial position. The Company may experience losses and may determine to discontinue operations or development of a project or mining at one or more of its properties. If the prices of fluorspar, vanadium, titanium dioxide and iron products drop significantly, the economic prospects of the projects in which the Company has an interest could be significantly reduced or rendered uneconomic. There is no assurance that, even if commercial quantities of fluorspar, vanadium, titanium dioxide and iron products are produced, a profitable market will exist for them.

A decline in the market prices of fluorspar, vanadium, titanium dioxide and iron products may also require the Company to write down its mineral reserves and resources which would have a material and adverse effect on its earnings and profitability. Should any significant write-down in reserves and resources be required, material write-down of the Company’s investment in the affected mining properties and increased amortisation, reclamation and closure expenses may be required.

Furthermore, international prices of various commodities are typically denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company are and will be taken into account in Australian currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as determined in international markets.

Tivan Limited – Prospectus

page | 21

Political risks

Changes, if any, in mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitude in the jurisdictions in which the Company has projects may adversely affect the Company's exploration and development plans, future operations or profitability. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by governmental regulations with respect to, but not limited to: restrictions on production; price controls; export controls; currency remittance; income taxes; foreign investment; maintenance of claims; environmental legislation; land use; land claims of local people; water use; mine safety; and government and local participation. Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices relating to mineral tenure and development could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of entitlements. The occurrence of these various factors adds uncertainties which cannot be accurately predicted and could have an adverse effect on the Company's operations or profitability.

Access to land

The Company will experience delays and cost overruns in the event it is unable to access the land required for exploration, development and operation of its resources projects. This may be as a result of weather, environmental restraints, native title, harvesting, landholder’s activities or other factors.

The Company’s exploration activities are also dependent upon the grant, or as the case may be, the maintenance or renewal of appropriate licences, concessions, leases, permits and regulatory consents which may be withdrawn or made subject to limitations. The maintenance, renewal and granting of tenements often depends on the Company being successful in obtaining required statutory approvals. There is no assurance that the Company will be granted all the mining tenements for which it has applied or that licences, concessions, leases, permits or consents will be renewed as and when required or that new conditions will not be imposed in connection therewith. To the extent such approvals, consents or renewals are not obtained, the Company may be curtailed or prohibited from continuing with its exploration activities or proceeding with any future exploration or development.

Environmental regulation risk

The Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulations in Australia. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company’s operations.

Government approvals and permits are required in connection with the Company’s operations. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained, the Company may be delayed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of its mineral properties.

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions (including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed) and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions.

Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing the Company’s operations and activities, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse

Tivan Limited – Prospectus

page | 22

impact on the Company and cause increases in capital expenditures or require abandonment or delays in the development of new properties.

Environmental liabilities risk

The Company’s activities are subject to potential risks and liabilities associated with the potential pollution of the environment and the necessary disposal of mining waste products resulting from mineral exploration and production. Insurance against environmental risk (including potential liability for pollution or other hazards as a result of the disposal of waste products occurring from exploration and production) is not generally available to the Company (or to other companies in the minerals industry) at a reasonable price. To the extent that the Company becomes subject to environmental liabilities, the satisfaction of any such liabilities would reduce funds otherwise available to the Company and could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Laws and regulations intended to ensure the protection of the environment are constantly changing, and are generally becoming more restrictive.

Land rehabilitation requirements

Although variable, depending on location and the governing authority, land rehabilitation requirements are generally imposed on mineral exploration companies, as well as companies with mining operations, in order to minimise long term effects of land disturbance. Rehabilitation may include requirements to control dispersion of potentially deleterious effluents and to reasonably re-establish pre-disturbance land forms and vegetation. In order to carry out rehabilitation obligations imposed on the Company in connection with its mineral exploration, the Company must allocate financial resources that might otherwise be spent on further exploration and/or development programs.

Climate change risk

Mining of mineral resources is relatively resource intensive and is dependent on the consumption of fossil fuels. The need to seek various environmental approvals and to comply with various regulations and government policies designed to mitigate climate change may adversely affect the Company’s cost of operations and could impact the financial performance of the Company.

Climate change may cause certain physical and environmental risks that cannot be predicted by the Company, including events such as increased severity of weather patterns and incidence of extreme weather events and longer-term physical risks such as shifting climate patterns. Climate change or prolonged periods of adverse weather and climatic conditions (including rising sea levels, floods, hail, drought, water scarcity, temperature extremes, frosts, earthquakes and pestilences) may have an adverse effect on the Company's ability to access the Company’s projects. All these risks associated with climate change may significantly change the industry and markets in which the Company operates.

Nature-related risk

The Company, as a participant in the mining sector, faces exposure to physical and transitional nature-related risks flowing from the deterioration of the natural environment.

Litigation risk

The Company is subject to litigation risks. All industries, including the minerals exploration industry, are subject to legal claims, with and without merit. Defence and settlement costs of legal claims can be substantial, even with respect to claims that have no merit.

Tivan Limited – Prospectus

page | 23

Due to the inherent uncertainty of the litigation process, the resolution of any particular legal proceeding to which the Company is or may become subject could have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or the Company’s activities.

Native Title

The High Court of Australia, the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) and State legislation recognise Aboriginal heritage and land rights. The risks include the following:

  • (a) the Company may have to seek permits or licences to access land the subject of an Aboriginal heritage or land right claim. There is no guarantee that any such permit or licence will be granted;

  • (b) the Company may have to comply with restrictions or conditions on accessing land the subject of an Aboriginal heritage or land right claim. This may result in the Company facing unplanned expenditure or delays. Failure to comply with any conditions on the permits may result in the Company losing its title to its tenements or forfeiting its permits;

  • (c) the Company may have to pay compensation in order to settle native title claims. It is not possible to quantify the amount of compensation which may have to be paid at this stage; and

  • (d) in the event the Company discovers evidence of Aboriginal heritage on land accessed by the Company, the Company must comply with regulations prohibiting the disturbance of physical evidence of prehistoric or historical significance without statutory permission and legislation prohibiting or restricting access to Aboriginal cultural heritage or native title land. Accordingly, delays or additional costs in the exploration or production of the Company’s business may be experienced. Further, the disturbance of any such land or objects may expose the Company to additional fines or other penalties.

Reliance on key personnel

The Company’s prospects depend in part on the ability of its executive officers, senior management and key consultants to operate effectively, both independently and as a group. The loss of the services of one or more of such key management personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company’s ability to manage its exploration and project and technology development activities, and hence its success, will depend in large part on the efforts of these individuals. Investors must be willing to rely to a significant extent on management’s discretion and judgement, as well as the expertise and competence of outside contractors.

Joint venture parties, contractors and agents

The Directors are unable to predict the risk of:

  • financial failure or default by a participant in any joint venture to which the Company is or may become a party;

  • insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the contractors used by the Company in any of its activities; or

  • insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the other service providers used by the Company for any activities.

Cyber security risk

The Company is dependent on the performance, reliability and availability of the Company’s and third party technology platforms, data suites and communication systems.

Tivan Limited – Prospectus

page | 24

Any damage or interruption to those systems (such as computer viruses, cyber-attacks or other events) could lead to corruption, theft or loss of data which could have an adverse effect on financial performance. If the Company was a victim of one of these events which resulted in confidential information being improperly released or disclosed, the Company could also suffer serious harm to its reputation, relationships and financial position.

Liquidity risk

There can be no guarantee that there will continue to be an active market for the SBC Shares or that the price of the SBC Shares will increase. There may be relatively few buyers or sellers of the SBC Shares on the ASX at any given time. This may affect the volatility of the market price of the Company’s securities. It may also affect the prevailing market price at which holders are able to sell their securities in the Company.

3.4 General Risks

Economic risks

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

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

  • general economic outlook;

  • interest rates and inflation rates;

  • currency fluctuations;

  • changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;

  • the demand for, and supply of, capital; and

  • terrorism or other hostilities.

Securities price fluctuation

The market price of a publicly traded stock is affected by many variables not directly related to the success of the Company. In recent years, the securities markets have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies has experienced wide fluctuations which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. There can be no assurance that such fluctuations will not affect the price of the Company’s securities.

Share market risk

The market price of the Company’s Shares and Options could fluctuate significantly. The market price of the Company’s Shares and Options may fluctuate based on a number of factors including the Company’s operating performance and the performance of competitors and other similar companies, the public’s reaction to the Company’s press releases, other public announcements and the Company’s filings with the various securities regulatory authorities, changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by research analysts who track the Company’s securities or the shares of other companies in the resource sector, changes in general economic conditions, the number of the Company’s

Tivan Limited – Prospectus

page | 25

securities publicly traded and the arrival or departure of key personnel, acquisitions, strategic alliances or joint ventures involving the Company or its competitors.

In addition, the market price of the Company’s Shares and Options are affected by many variables not directly related to the Company’s success and are therefore not within the Company’s control, including other developments that affect the market for all resource sector shares, the breadth of the public market for the Company’s Shares and Options, and the attractiveness of alternative investments.

3.5 Speculative nature of investment

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive 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 Offer Securities offered under this Prospectus and the Shares in the Company.

4 Additional information

4.1 Continuous disclosure obligations

The Company is a "disclosing entity" (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) and is subject to the regime of continuous disclosure and periodic reporting requirements. Specifically, as a listed company, the Company is subject to the Listing Rules which require continuous disclosure to the market of any information possessed by the Company which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of its Shares.

The Directors have adopted a policy on compliance with the Listing Rules which sets out the obligations of the Directors, officers and employees to ensure the Company satisfies the continuous disclosure obligations imposed by the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act. The policy provides information as to what a person should do when they become aware of information which could have material effect on the Company’s securities and the consequences of non-compliance.

4.2 Legal framework of this Prospectus

As a "disclosing entity", the Company has issued this Prospectus in accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act applicable to prospectuses for an offer of securities which are quoted enhanced disclosure ( ED ) securities and the securities are in a class of securities that were quoted ED securities at all times in the 3 months before the issue of this Prospectus (or Options over the same).

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

This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.

Having taken such precautions and having made such enquiries as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the requirements of ASX as applicable to disclosing entities from time to time, and which require the Company to notify ASIC of information available to the stock market conducted by ASX, throughout the 3 months before the issue of this Prospectus.

As at the date of this Prospectus, ASIC has not made a determination which would prevent the Company from relying on section 713 of the Corporations Act in issuing the Offer Securities under this Prospectus.

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

Tivan Limited – Prospectus

page | 27

  • (ii) the rights and liabilities attaching to the Offer Securities; and

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

Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.

The ASX maintains files containing publicly disclosed information about all listed companies. The Company's file is available for inspection at ASX in Perth during normal working hours. Copies of all documents announced to the ASX by the Company (including the documents set out in section 4.4) are available at www.tivan.com.au/investors/asxannouncements/.

In addition, copies of documents lodged by, or in relation to, the Company with ASIC may be obtained from, or inspected at, an office of ASIC or the registered office of the Company during normal office hours.

4.3 ASIC Instruments

The Offer is made pursuant to ASIC Corporations (Exposure Period) Instrument 2016/74 which exempts the Company from complying with section 727(3) of the Corporations Act to the extent that that section prohibits the Company from issuing Options in the seven-day period after the date of lodgement of the Prospectus with ASIC.

This Prospectus has been issued to facilitate secondary trading of any Shares issued upon exercise of the SBC Options to be issued under the Offer. Issuing the SBC Options under this Prospectus will enable persons who are issued the SBC Options to on-sell the Share issued on exercise of the SBC Options pursuant to ASIC Corporations (Sale Offers That Do Not Need Exposure) Instrument 2016/80 .

4.4 Information available to investors

The Company will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any investor who so requests during the application period under this Prospectus:

  • (a) the Annual Financial Report for the Company for the year ending 30 June 2023;

  • (b) the Interim Financial Report of the Company for the half-year ending 31 December 2023; and

  • (c) the following documents used to notify ASX of information relating to the Company during the period after lodgement of the Annual Financial Report of the Company for the period ending 30 June 2023 and before the issue of this Prospectus:

4.5 Design and distribution obligations

The product design and distributions obligations under the Corporations Act ( DDO Obligations ) are intended to help consumers obtain appropriate financial products by requiring issuers and distributors to have a consumer-centric product. The DDO Obligations require product issuers to make publicly available a target market determination that explains the target market for certain securities, any distribution conditions and any information related to reviewing and monitoring conduct in relation to the target market determination.

The Company has prepared a TMD in respect of the Offer Securities which is available on the Company’s website at www.tivan.com.au. The Offer Securities are subject to a distribution condition that the Investor will be provided with a copy of this Prospectus and access to the TMD before it receives Offer Securities. The Investor is required self-confirm that it meets the eligibility criteria of the expected target market outlined in the TMD.

4.6 Corporate Governance

The Company has adopted comprehensive systems of control and accountability as the basis for the administration of corporate governance. The Board is committed to administering the policies and procedures with openness and integrity, pursuing the true spirit of corporate governance commensurate with the Company's needs.

Tivan Limited – Prospectus

page | 30

To the extent that they are applicable to the Company, the Board has adopted the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations where the Board has considered the recommendation to be an appropriate benchmark for its corporate governance practices. Where, after due consideration, the Company’s corporate governance practices depart from a recommendation, the Board has disclosed the reasons for the departure in its Corporate Governance Statement for the financial year ended 30 June 2023. A copy of the Corporate Governance Statement for the financial year ended 30 June 2023 and a summary of the Company’s corporate governance policies and procedures are available on the Company’s website at www.tivan.com.au/company/corporate-governance.

4.7 Terms and conditions of Convertible Securities Agreement

A summary of the material terms of the Convertible Securities Agreement is as follows:

  • (a) ( Convertible Securities ) The Investor agrees to subscribe for SBC Convertible Securities on the terms and conditions of the Agreement, and upon conversion, become a member of the Company and be bound by its constitution.

  • (b) ( Purchase Price ): The first tranche of the SBC Convertible Securities have a purchase price (before costs and allowable deductions under the Convertible Securities Agreement) of $2,800,000 (for the initial 3,300,000 SBC Convertible Securities). A subsequent purchase price is to be agreed between the Investor and the Company for the relevant subsequent purchase of SBC Convertible Securities (which must not be less than $500,000).

  • (c) ( Commitment Fee ) The Company is to pay a Commitment Fee equal to 3% of the Face Value of the SBC Convertible Securities to be issued under each tranche. The Commitment Fee can be paid in cash, by directing that the investor set it off against and deduct it from the relevant Purchase Price, or by issuing that number of Shares to the Investor that is determined by dividing the relevant payment of the Commitment Fee by the last sale price of the Shares on ASX prior to the execution date, rounded down to the nearest A$0.01 (being $0.059).

  • (d) ( Options ) The Company is to issue to the Investor 28,000,000 SBC Options, having an exercise price of $0.10 and expiring 31 December 2027.

  • (e) ( Collateral Shares ) In partial consideration of the Investor entering into the Convertible Securities Agreement, the Company is to issue to the investor 20,000,000 SBC Shares, ranking equally with all other Shares on issue.

  • (f) ( Reduction of Placement Share Payment Number ) Upon and subject to the Convertible Securities Agreement terminating or expiring, no Event of Default having occurred, and there being no remaining unconverted SBC Convertible Securities, the Investor is to reduce the value of the Collateral Shares by paying to the Company within 180 days an amount equal to the value of the outstanding Collateral Shares at a Redemption Issue Price per Share being calculated as set out in the Convertible Securities Agreement and being no lower than the Nominal Floor Price ($0.01), provided that if at any time during the 180-day period the Company’s Shares are suspended from trading on ASX for 10 or more continuous Trading Days, or are suspended from trading ASX for 20 or more Trading Days in aggregate, the value of the Collateral Shares is automatically deemed to be reduced to zero.

  • (g) ( Maximum Number ) The aggregate maximum number of new equity securities that the Company may or is required to issue under the Convertible Securities Agreement (determined in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1B) is 190,000,000, excluding securities whose issue has been ratified under Listing Rule 7.4, which were issued

Tivan Limited – Prospectus

page | 31

pursuant to securityholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1, or whose issue falls within an exception under Listing Rule 7.2. Where this provision would prevent an issue of equity securities under the agreement, the Company must use its best endeavours to obtain shareholder approval to the issue of those equity securities prior to the relevant date (and in any event within 60 days of the Company becoming aware of such prevention), so that the issue of the equity securities may proceed as scheduled.

  • (h) ( Security ) The Company is to deliver to the Investor a general security agreement over all of the assets of the Company (other than the shares which the Company holds in Speewah Mining Pty Ltd ACN 100 722 889) in favour of the Investor, on terms acceptable to the Investor and on standard and usual terms for a transaction of this type.

  • (i) ( Minimum Cash Balance ) The Company agrees to maintain, at all times while there is any amount outstanding, a cash balance of no less than $500,000 (unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Investor.

  • (j) ( Cleansing ) For each subsequent purchase after the first purchase, the Company must duly lodge a cleansing statement or cleansing prospectus in respect of the SBC Convertible Securities to be issued).

4.8 Terms and conditions of SBC Convertible Securities

A summary of the material terms and conditions of the SBC Convertible Securities is as follows:

  • (a) ( Face Value ): The SBC Convertible Securities will have a face value of $1.00 each.

  • (b) ( Maturity ): Each SBC Convertible Security will mature on the date which is 18 months after the relevant purchase date. However, the Investor may at any time where the Company raises funds from any source (other than from the Investor) in excess of an aggregate of $5,000,000 require the Company to apply up to 20% of the proceeds of the funds raised that exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate to the redemption of outstanding Convertible SBC Convertible Securities. Otherwise, on the maturity date for each tranche, the Company must redeem the outstanding Convertible SBC Convertible Security by paying the amount outstanding in respect of the relevant Convertible SBC Convertible Securities in cash.

  • (c) ( Monthly Redemption ): On the 30[th] day of each calendar month, the Company must redeem 1/17[th] of the Face Value of the SBC Convertible Securities issued under each tranche, each month until the entire Face Value of the tranche has been redeemed.

  • (i) 93% of the average of 3 daily VWAPs selected by the Investor from among the daily VWAPs during the 20 Trading Days prior to the relevant repayment date; or

  • (ii) $0.10, with a nominal floor price of $0.01;

  • (d) ( Acceleration ) At its discretion, the Investor may elect to require the Company to redeem one or more SBC Convertible Securities within 2 Business Days of receipt of notice to that effect, at the same conversion price mentioned in paragraph 4.8(c). Unless the parties mutually agree, the maximum amount that can be redeemed by

Tivan Limited – Prospectus

page | 32

acceleration in one notice is $750,000, and the maximum amount that can be redeemed by acceleration in aggregate is $1,500,000.

  • (e) ( Interest ): The interest rate for the SBC Convertible Securities will be 0% per annum, unless the Company commits an event of default under the terms of the SBC Convertible Securities, in which case the interest rate will be 1% per calendar month, which interest shall accrue daily and be compounded monthly.

  • (f) ( Events of Default ): The Convertible Securities Agreement prescribes certain Events of Default, including:

  • (i) The Company fails to repay the amount outstanding in respect of any SBC Convertible Securities to the Investor in cash on the maturity date.

  • (ii) The Company breaches or otherwise fails to comply in full with any of its material obligations under any transaction document (and does not cure that breach or failure within 5 Business Days of notice of it by the Investor) or any event of default (however described) occurs under any transaction document.

  • (iii) A group company is, admits that it is, is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be, or is deemed under any applicable Law to be, insolvent or unable to pay its debts as and when they become due.

  • (iv) Any SBC Convertible Securities or Shares are not issued to the Investor within 2 Business Days of required date under the Convertible Securities Agreement.

  • (vii) A stop order, suspension of trading, cessation of quotation, or removal of the Company or its Shares from the ASX Official List is requested by the Company or requested or imposed by any governmental authority, except for a suspension of trading not exceeding 5 Trading Days in a rolling twelve-month period or as agreed by the Investor.

(viii) A material adverse effect occurs.

  • (ix) Any group company grants any security interest over any of its assets, or a security interest comes into existence over any assets of any group company, without the prior written consent of the Investor.

  • (g) ( Cash True-Up ) If an issue of Shares under the Convertible Securities Agreement would be calculated to take place at a price lower than the Nominal Floor Price (being $0.01), then the Company must either:

(i) elect to reduce the Placement Share Payment Number in accordance with the following formula:

R = A/NRIP – A/FP, rounded up to the nearest whole number

Where:

R = the reduction in the Placement Share Payment Number;

A = the relevant Monthly Repayment Amount or Acceleration Amount;

Tivan Limited – Prospectus

page | 33

NRIP = the relevant Natural Redemption Issue Price;

FP = the Nominal Floor Price; or

(ii) elect to make a payment to the Investor of an amount determined in accordance with the following formula:

P = (A/NRIP – A/FP, rounded up to the nearest whole number) x VWAP

Where:

P = the amount the Company must pay to the Investor;

A = the relevant Monthly Repayment Amount or Acceleration Amount;

NRIP = the relevant Natural Redemption Issue Price;

FP = the Nominal Floor Price; and

VWAP = the daily VWAP on the Trading Day immediately prior to the day on which the Nominal Floor Price Issue occurs, in which case the Company must make the payment to the Investor at the time of the Nominal Floor Price Issue.

  • (h) ( Ranking ): The SBC Convertible Securities constitute direct, secured and unconditional obligations of the Company, rank in priority to all unsecured obligations of the Company, other than those mandatorily preferred at law. Shares issued on conversion of the SBC Convertible Securities will rank equally with existing Shares at the time.

  • (k) ( Rights Issues ): If prior to an exercise of an Option on issue, any offer or invitation is made by the Company to at least all the holders of Shares resident in Australia for the subscription for cash with respect to securities of the Company on a pro rata basis, the Exercise Price of the Options will be reduced as specified in the Listing Rules.

  • (l) ( Reconstruction ): If there is a consolidation, subdivision or similar reconstruction of the capital of the Company, then subject to the Listing Rules, the number of Shares to which each Option holder is entitled on exercise of the outstanding Options will be reduced or increased in the same proportion as, and the nature of the Shares will be modified to the same extent that, the capital is consolidated, subdivided or reconstructed, and the Exercise Price of the Options will be adjusted so that the total amount payable on exercise will not alter.

  • (m) ( Participation rights ): The Options do not entitle the holder to participate in the surplus profits or assets of the Company upon winding up.

4.10 Rights and obligations attaching to Shares

The SBC Shares and the Shares obtained through the exercise of the SBC Options or the conversion of the SBC Convertible Securities will rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue at the time.

Full details of the rights attaching to the Company’s Shares are set out in its Constitution, a copy of which can be inspected at the Company’s registered office.

The following is a summary of the principal rights which attach to the Company’s Shares:

(a) Voting

Every holder of Shares present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative at a meeting of Shareholders has one vote on a vote taken by a show of hands, and, on a poll every holder of Shares who is present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative has one vote for every Share held by him or her, and a proportionate vote for every Share, registered in such shareholder's name on the Register.

A poll may be demanded by the chairman of the meeting, by any five Shareholders entitled to vote on the particular resolution present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative, or by any one or more Shareholders who are together entitled to not less than 5% of the total voting rights of, or paid up value of, the Shares of all those Shareholders having the right to vote on the resolution.

(b) Dividends

Dividends are payable out of the Company's profits and are declared by the Directors.

(c) Transfer of Shares

A Shareholder may transfer Shares by a market transfer in accordance with any computerised or electronic system established or recognised by the Listing Rules or the Corporations Act for the purpose of facilitating transfers in Shares or by an instrument in writing in a form approved by ASX or in any other usual form or in any form approved by the Directors.

The Company may refuse to register any transfer of Shares where the Company is permitted or required to do so by the Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. The Company must not otherwise refuse or fail to register a transfer of Shares.

(d) Meetings and notice

Each Shareholder is entitled to receive notice of and to attend general meetings for the Company and to receive all notices, accounts and other documents required to be sent to Shareholders under the Constitution of the Company, the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules.

(e) Liquidation rights

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, 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 or she 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.

Tivan Limited – Prospectus

page | 36

(f) Shareholder liability

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

(g) Alteration to the 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. At least 28 days' written notice, specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

(h) ASX Listing Rules

If the Company is admitted to the Official List, then despite anything in the constitution of the Company, if the Listing Rules prohibit an act being done, the act must not be done. Nothing in the constitution prevents an act being done that the Listing Rules require to be done. If the Listing Rules require an act to be done or not to be done, authority is given for that act to be done or not to be done (as the case may be). If the Listing Rules require the constitution to contain a provision or not to contain a provision the constitution is deemed to contain that provision or not to contain that provision (as the case may be). If a provision of the constitution is or becomes inconsistent with the Listing Rules, the constitution is deemed not to contain that provision to the extent of the inconsistency.
