Section 611 (item 13) of the Corporations Act provides that the prohibition in section 606(1) of the Corporations Act (which prohibits the acquisition of relevant interests in securities exceeding 20%) does not apply to acquisitions that result from an issue to an underwriter or sub-underwriter, subject to the effect of the acquisition on that person’s voting power in the company having been disclosed in the disclosure document. If no rights are taken up by shareholders , and CPS Capital is required to subscribe for all the new shares offered, then CPS Capital may hold up to 33.33% of the issued capital of the company .

8. RISK FACTORS

8.1. Introduction

8.1.1. The new shares offered under this offer document are considered highly speculative. An investment in the company is not risk free and the directors strongly recommend potential investors to consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this offer document and to consult their professional advisors before deciding whether to apply for shares pursuant to this offer document .

8.1.2. There are specific risks which relate directly to the company’s business. In addition, there are other general risks, many of which are largely beyond the control of the company and the directors . The risks identified in this section , or other risk factors, may have a material impact on the financial performance of the company and the market price of the shares .

  • 8.1.3. The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the company is exposed.

8.2. Risks specific to the company

8.2.1. Limited operating track record

Thred is a recently established company and has a limited operational track record. Execution of the company's business plan may take longer to achieve than planned and the costs of doing so may be higher than budgeted. As the company is at an early stage of development, there are significant uncertainties associated with forecasting future revenues, timelines associated with future revenues and expenses. The offer must therefore be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development.

8.2.2. Commercialisation risk

Since the company's reinstatement to trading on ASX on 17 June 2016, the company's activities have involved deploying resources to develop its software applications (including applying funds towards research and development, wages and procurement of services). The company has not reached commercial viability. Given the company’s limited trading history and the fact that its business is unproven, it is difficult to make an evaluation of the company’s business or its prospects. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the company’s business initiatives will be successfully commercialised.

20

8.2.3. Intellectual property

Whilst the company will seek to protect innovative features and processes that it creates during the development of its apps, the company’s intellectual property rights are currently unregistered and therefore do not attract the benefit of formal patent protection. Further, there is no current intention to apply for formal patent protection, however the company will continue to review the need for and likelihood of grant of formal patent protection.

There is a risk that products which compete with the company or provide functionality that is similar to the company could be developed before the company is able to secure patent protection for the company , which could materially affect the company’s growth and revenue prospects. There is also the risk that a patent application in relation to the company may not be successful, in which case the company will need to take greater measures to protect its business from competitors in the market offering similar or competing products and to ensure the company does not infringe the registered intellectual property rights of any other person.

8.2.4. Country risk

The company’s operations are primarily conducted in Australia, but may extend to operations in the United States and elsewhere. Accordingly, the company may be exposed to a range of multi-jurisdictional risks such as risks relating to labour practices, environmental matters, difficulty in enforcing contracts (including the requirement to resolve certain disputes by arbitration in foreign jurisdictions), changes to or uncertainty in the relevant legal and regulatory regime (including in relation to taxation and foreign investment and practices of government and regulatory authorities) and other issues in foreign jurisdictions in which the company operates.

8.2.5. Foreign currency and exchange rate

The company is seeking to raise funds under the offer in Australian dollars. Whilst in the short term, it is anticipated that this will have a limited impact on the company's costs of doing business, in the medium to longer term it is likely that the majority of the company's revenue will be in US dollars or other currencies. As such, the company may be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates relative to the Australian dollar. The company will appropriately monitor and assess such risks and may from time to time implement measures, such as foreign exchange currency hedging, to assist in managing these risks. However, the implementation of such measures may not eliminate all such risks and the measures themselves may expose the company to related risks.

8.2.6. Privacy

The company will be launched globally and as such will be subject to privacy laws that may differ in each specific jurisdiction in which the company operates. If a breach of privacy occurs, it may expose the company to litigation or regulatory enquiry.

21

8.2.7. Potential changes in APIs

Platforms, apps and systems change aspects of their application programming interfaces ( API ) regularly and for many different reasons. If the company is unable to respond to a change in an API in an appropriate manner, Thred users (or segments thereof) may experience reduced cross-platform functionality relating to interaction with that platform, app or system.

8.2.8. Competitor risks

The mobile app market and specifically the messaging and social app markets are highly competitive. The company faces competition from wide range of app publishers from established well known publishers to start-ups looking to break into the market. The company cannot control or influence its competitors' actions and activities. The actions by competitors may impact the adoption, revenue and/or profitability of the company 's financial condition. A key risk for the company in a competitive environment such as this is that it may not achieve the user adoption or adequate engagement from users over existing or future competitors. Although the company will look to overcome these challenges through consistent product iteration and testing, it is nonetheless vulnerable to unforeseen innovations, discoverability challenges and/or market saturation.

8.2.9. Key employee risks

The company is reliant on the expertise and talent of its personnel. The loss of key personnel could potentially have an adverse impact on the operations of the organisation. In addition, there is risk that development staff who have been involved in the development of Thred or the company’s products could be lost and in turn their knowledge of the product and business could be lost as well.

8.2.10. Technology

The company will seek to remain abreast of key technological innovations affecting the social media and messaging markets. However, the rapid growth of both of these markets creates an environment where unforeseen changes can happen quickly, making it difficult for the company to adapt its offering quickly enough to cope with these changes. There is a risk that the company will be unable to acquire new users or retain existing users should the company 's apps become less desirable in comparison with the competition in the marketplace.

8.2.11. Reduced likelihood of a takeover offer A large number of the company's issued shares are held by a small number of shareholders . This may discourage any potential bidder from making a takeover bid in the future as those shareholders will have significant control over the company . 8.2.12. Security

22

The company could suffer unauthorised infiltration by hackers disrupting service to users, stealing user data or otherwise affecting the company's operations. Such actions could compromise user data or otherwise damage goodwill, resulting in changes in user behaviour and overall dissatisfaction.

8.2.13. Third party reliance

To some extent, the company relies on third parties for key aspects of its operations. This is a risk of third parties restricting access to their APls or no longer being capable of providing the services that they currently offer. The company 's strategy is to spread reliance on third parties across a number of parties. In addition, the board anticipates that as adoption of the company 's apps grows, reliance on third parties will decrease.

8.2.14. Market

The mobile app industry and specifically the messaging apps and social networks apps industries are still relatively undeveloped in spite of the number of apps with large user bases. As such, the revenue models vary greatly and the market size and potential is still uncertain. In this market with diverse but relatively new revenue streams, it will be the company’s responsibility to develop effective solutions prompting users to engage with and/or execute transactions from or within its apps. There is also a risk that competitors could launch substantially similar apps as the company and as such the speed to get to market is of high importance. The company will seek to mitigate this risk through its development processes and user testing processes.

8.2.15. Financial risks

The company's capital requirements are influenced by numerous factors. Depending on the rate of user growth, the ability to generate revenue and other factors, the company may require financing in addition to the amounts raised under the offer . Any additional equity financing may dilute shareholdings and debt financing, if available, may place restrictions on operating and financing activities. If the company cannot acquire additional financing, then it may be forced to alter its plan of operations.

8.2.16.

Volatility in the market price of new shares

There is no assurance that the market price for new shares will not decline below the price at which they were subscribed for.

23

8.3. General risks

8.3.1. Market conditions

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:

  • (a) general economic outlook;

  • (b) introduction of tax reform or other new legislation;

  • (c) interest rates and inflation rates;

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

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

  • (f) terrorism or other hostilities.

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

8.3.2. Economic and government risk

The future viability of the company is also dependent on a number of other factors affecting performance of all industries and not just the technology industry including, but not limited to, the following:

  • (a) general economic conditions in jurisdictions in which the company operates;

  • (b) changes in government policies, taxation and other laws in jurisdictions in which the company operates;

  • (c) the strength of the equity markets in Australia and throughout the world, and in particular investor sentiment towards the technology sector;

  • (d) movement in, or outlook on, interest rates and inflation rates in jurisdictions in which the company operates; and

  • (e) natural disasters, social upheaval or war in jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

8.4. Speculative investment

  • 8.4.1. 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

24

performance of the company and the value of the new shares offered under this offer document .

8.4.2. Therefore, the new shares to be issued pursuant to this offer document carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those shares . Potential investors should consider that the investment in the company is highly speculative and should consult their professional advisors before deciding whether to apply for new shares pursuant to this offer document .

25
