Explanatory Statement

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to assist Shareholders of Uscom Limited ( Uscom or the Company ) to understand the business to be put to Shareholders at the General Meeting ( Meeting or AGM ) of the Company to be held at 3pm (Sydney time) on 7 November 2025.

The Resolution is an ordinary resolution requiring a simple majority of votes cast by Shareholders present and entitled to vote on the resolution.

1. Background

As announced on 30 September 2025, Uscom has entered into an agreement ( Agreement ), subject to shareholder approval, to sell the whole of its businesses and assets to a Singapore based VCC investment company, AXO Medtech VCC ( AXO ).

The purpose of this meeting is to consider, and if appropriate, approve the asset sale to AXO. Completion is to occur within 14 days after Uscom obtains the approval of its shareholders in a general meeting.

2. Rationale for the transaction

Uscom has incurred losses and had negative cash flow for a number of years. The Company has had difficulty in being able to raise sufficient cash in the Australian market as an ASX-listed company to develop its global operations. Not raising sufficient cash has prevented Uscom from being able to develop the key elements of its business so as to become profitable, including building inventory and developing and enhancing its products.

Due to its operations being largely based in China and Singapore, the sale of the Uscom assets and business to a Singapore based investment fund is, in the opinion of the directors, the strategy that will most likely allow the Uscom business to raise the capital to enable it to transform into a profitable business.

AXO has advised Uscom that, upon acquisition of USC SNG, its intention is to:

  • carry on the current Uscom businesses;

  • continue to operate all current subsidiaries;

  • retain all current employees; and

  • raise additional capital for the Uscom business in order to substantially develop the global operations more quickly than if it remained owned by Uscom Limited.

3. Terms of the agreement

Uscom has agreed to sell all of the shares in its 100% subsidiary, Uscom Sng Pte. Ltd ( UCM SNG ). UCM SNG either directly or through its subsidiaries, owns all of the Uscom IP and owns all of the assets used in the worldwide Uscom business. At the date of this Notice, UCM SNG has approximately 60 full time employees located in Singapore, Australia, China and Hungary.

The consideration for the sale of the UCM SNG shares is $2.591 million, to be settled on completion by transferring to UCM SNG the liability of Uscom totalling $1.591 million owed to Prof Phillips (Uscom chairman and substantial shareholder) and $1 million to Jetan Pty Limited ( UCM shareholder).

Immediately prior to settlement, all intercompany accounts between UCM, UCM SNG and other subsidiaries will be settled so that immediately after settlement, Uscom will have cash assets of approximately $200,000, a small amount of trade assets and liabilities and no other business assets.

A summary of the material terms of the Agreement follows:

  • Uscom will sell all of the shares in its 100% subsidiary, UCM SNG to AXO.

  • The consideration to be received by Uscom is $2.591 million payable by way of the transfer of liability from UCM to UCM SNG of the loans totalling $2.591 outstanding from Uscom to Prof Phillips and Jetan Pty Limited.

  • The conditions precedent includes the obtaining of all regulatory approvals and the issue of participation shares by AXO to fund the operations of UCM SNG and its subsidiaries.

  • The other conditions in the agreement are customary for a transaction of this nature.

5. ASX takes no responsibility

Please note that ASX takes no responsibility for the contents of this Notice of Meeting.

6. ASX Listing Rule 11.2

ASX Listing Rule 11.2 provides that where a company proposes to make a significant change in the nature or scale of its activities which involves the disposal of its main undertaking, it must first obtain the prior approval of its shareholders. The notice of meeting must include a voting exclusion statement and the agreement to dispose of the undertaking must be conditional upon receipt of the shareholder approval.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the potential disposal of UCM SNG under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 11.2. Even if Shareholder approval is obtained, there is no certainty that UCM SNG will be disposed of as the Agreement is subject to other conditions precedent.

The information required by ASX Guidance Note 12, “Significant Changes to Activities”, to be provided to Shareholders in relation to the Resolution, is contained within this Explanatory Statement and the Notice of General Meeting.

Shareholders should be aware that following the proposed disposal of the Company’s main undertaking, ASX may require the Company to seek shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 11.1.2 and/or recomply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules pursuant to Listing Rule 11.1.3 with respect to any future transaction the Company may enter into.

A disposal by a listed entity of its main undertaking can also raise issues under Listing Rule 12.1 and 12.2, which oblige a listed entity to satisfy ASX on an ongoing basis that the level of its operations is sufficient and its financial condition adequate, to warrant its continued quotation of shares.

In accordance with Listing Rule 11.12, the Company provides full disclosure and details of the proposed disposal and the impacts of the disposal (whether approved or not approved) and seek Shareholder approval of the disposal of the Company’s interest in UCM SNG.

If the Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the disposal of UCM SNG and should the Agreement complete, the Company will dispose of its main undertaking and its main asset will

  • 3 -

be cash of $200,000. Shareholders should be aware that even if shareholder approval is obtained for the purposes of Resolution 1, there is no guarantee that completion will occur as the Agreement is subject to other conditions precedent.

If the Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the disposal of UCM SNG and the Company will continue to operate the business currently owned by UCM SNG.

7. Financial effect on the Company of the disposal of UCM SNG

The pro forma statement of the financial position and pro forma profit or loss statement of the Company showing the financial effect of the disposal of UCM SNG is set out in Schedule 1.

8. Intention of the Company following disposal of UCM SNG

After completion of the disposal of UCM SNG, the major asset of the Company will be the cash remaining after settlement of all intercompany accounts (see section 3 above). This cash will be used to meet the continuing expenses of UCM which will include share registry fees, audit fees and ASX fees.

The Board will consider whether the Company should be wound up, with any surplus cash remaining after the payment of creditors being distributed to Shareholders. Alternatively, it may consider embarking on a new business venture once a suitable business has been identified and acquired.

After settlement of the Agreement, UCM will seek reinstatement to quotation which will be subject to compliance with the ASX Listing Rules and consultation with the ASX. If reinstated, the ASX may continue quoting the Company’s shares for a period of up to 6 months from the date of the Agreement to dispose of its main undertaking in order to allow the Company time to complete the disposal of UCM SNG and to commence the legal process for its winding up or to identify and make an announcement in relation to the acquisition of a new business.

If the Company does not commence winding up or make an announcement in relation to the acquisition of a new business within that six-month period, the ASX will generally end the quotation of the Company’s shares.

9. Advantages of the disposal of UCM SNG

The Directors believe that the following non-exhaustive list of advantages may be relevant to a Shareholder’s decision on how to vote on the Resolution:

  • a) The disposal may provide an opportunity to raise capital to be used to source new business opportunities.

  • b) The disposal may allow the Company to return capital to Shareholders.

  • c) The disposal will stem the losses that the Company has incurred for the past five years and in the future as the Company may continue to incur further losses given its inability to raise capital to grow the business (see section 2 above).

  • d) The disposal will allow Shareholders to avoid a substantial dilution as the Company will need to raise additional working capital for the business, to cover past and future losses and to meet capital expenditure required for the continued development of the Company’s products. To raise the amount required will be difficult and very dilutive for Shareholders given market conditions and the current share price.

10. Disadvantages of the disposal of UCM SNG

The Directors believe that the following non-exhaustive list of disadvantages may be relevant to a Shareholder’s decision on how to vote on the Resolution:

  • a) The Company will not be able to derive any future potential benefit from the operation of UCM SNG.

  • b) The disposal involves the Company selling its major asset which may not be consistent with the investment objectives of all Shareholders.

  • c) Subject to the Company’s further consultation in respect of any further asset acquisitions, there may be significant re-compliance costs associated with the acquisition of new assets if ASX determined that such acquisitions require full re-compliance with chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.

11. Indicative timetable

Event Date
Agreement signed 30 September 2025
Notice of General Meeting sent to shareholders 10 October 2025

Settlement 25 November 2025

12. Implications if the disposal of the interest does not proceed

In the event that the Resolution is not passed and/or for any other reason the Company does not dispose of UCM SNG, it will continue to operate the business of UCM SNG.

13. Board recommendation

The Directors do not have any material interest in the outcome of the Resolution, other than as Shareholders of the Company.

At a meeting of the Directors of Uscom, three Directors approved the proposal to put the Resolution to the Shareholders. One director, Mr Meng, voted against the proposal.
