LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Dear Shareholder
On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to present this Prospectus for Vysarn Limited's ( Company or Vysarn ) Entitlement Offer to Shareholders.
The Entitlement Offer is a non-renounceable pro rata entitlement offer of new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company on the basis of 3 New Shares for every 10 Shares held on the Record Date at $0.045 per New Share to raise up to approximately $4,018,386 (before costs) ( Entitlement Offer ). The offer price of $0.045 per New Share represents a discount of 18.2% to the Company’s last closing price on ASX of $0.055 on 15 May 2020 being the last trading day prior to the Company’s announcement of the Entitlement Offer on 18 May 2020 and 11.8% to the Company’s last closing price on ASX of $0.051 on 27 May 2020 being the last trading day prior to the date of this Prospectus.
Since relisting on ASX in September last year, the Company (through its wholly owned subsidiary Pentium Hydro Pty Ltd ( Pentium )) has been able to establish itself as a fully operational service provider in the borefield construction industry, and as detailed in the Company’s announcements, its recent operating and financial performance has been in line with management’s expectations and forecasts. The Board is mindful however, that the global economic outlook faces uncertainty due to the current COVID-19 pandemic which is impacting domestic and global markets. As such, the Board considers it prudent to take pre-emptive action and raise funds under the Entitlement Offer to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet. Funds raised will give the Company optionality to either execute its organic and acquisitive growth strategies, to pay down debt and/or provide additional cash reserves should the core business see a contraction in work in the short to medium term.
The Board strongly encourages you to participate in the Entitlements Offer, and considers that the key investment highlights of the Company include:
-
a) Rig Utilisation : 8 of Pentium’s 10 drill rigs are now under contract. The business continues to field multiple enquiries regarding rig availability to provide borefield construction services in the resources sector, and is in ongoing discussions with existing and potential clients to ensure continued utilisation of its rigs. In addition, as announced by the Company on 27 May 2020 and in line with its organic growth strategy, Pentium has entered into an asset sale agreement to acquire 2 additional Dual Rotary rigs. These rigs will supplement Pentium’s existing fleet and enable it to broaden its service offering.
-
b) Operating and Financial Performance : As detailed in the Company’s announcements, during the second half of the 2019/2020 financial year, the Company has enjoyed material growth in revenue, particularly in the latter months. This is expected to improve further leading up to the end of the financial year with the month of June expected to provide the Company with its strongest monthly earnings performance to date. The Board expects that subject to maintaining a utilisation rate of 8 rigs, that the month of June will provide management with its first visibility of achievable average monthly maintainable EBITDA leading into the new financial year.
-
c) Strong Board and Management Team : Your Company is led by an experienced and proven Board, which was further strengthened this year with the appointment of Mr James Clement as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer. James is a high calibre professional with a proven track record, and we are delighted to have been able to attract an applicant of his standing.
P a g e | 7
- d) Growth Strategy : Completion of the Entitlement Offer will further strengthen the Company’s ability to execute its organic and acquisitive growth strategy, at the same time providing the Company with optionality to pay down debt and/or provide additional cash reserves should economic conditions deteriorate.
Demonstrating our strong support for the Company and belief in its growth strategy, I am pleased to confirm that James, Sheldon and I all intend to take up our respective entitlements in full and, in the event there is a Shortfall under the Entitlement Offer, subject to Shareholder approval, we intend to participate in the Shortfall Offer.
As with any investment, there are risks associated with investing in the share market generally and the Company specifically. You should read this Prospectus in its entirety before deciding to invest and in particular, consider the risks detailed in Section 5.
On behalf of the Board, I strongly encourage you to participate in the Entitlement Offer and thank you for your continued support.
Yours faithfully

| Company? | Company are detailed in Section 5. | ||
| • | COVID-19 Risk:The global economic outlook | ||
| is facing uncertainty due to the current | |||
| COVID-19 pandemic which is impacting both | |||
| domestic and global capital markets. As noted | |||
| in the Company’s 18 May 2020 ASX |
|||
| announcement, the Company has to date | |||
| been able to mtigate any COVID-19 associated | |||
| downturn in revenue or cost increases. | |||
| However, as the situation with respect to | |||
| COVID-19 continues to develop (and the | |||
| economy and the government’s response to | |||
| the pandemic evolves), there can be no | |||
| assurance that the Companywill be able to |

Further Summary information
Topic Summary continue to mitigate any adverse effects of COVID-19 on the business. Further, the Company is ultimately exposed to the Australian resources sector, and a downturn in this sector (as a result of COVID-19 and/or other factors) could lead to reduced demand for the Company’s services, which could have an adverse effect on the operating and financial performance of the Company. A prolonged economic contraction as a result of COVID-19 and/or other factors could impact on the Company’s ability to continue to meet its ongoing financial obligations (including debt). • Contractual Risk: As with any contract, there is a risk that the business could be disrupted in situations where there is a disagreement or dispute in relation to a term of the contract. Should such a disagreement or dispute occur, this may have an adverse impact on the Company’s operations and performance generally. It is not possible for the Company to predict or protect itself against all such risks.
• Recently Established Business : The Company relisted on ASX following completion of the Acquisition in September 2019. The Company has established itself as a fully operational business with 8 of its 10 rigs under contract, but remains a relatively new entrant into the market. The Company’s ability to continue to generate revenue will depend on the Company being able to retain its existing clients as well as attract new business, and there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to do so.
• Demand Risk : The Company’s business depends on, among other things, the level of activity in the industries it services, in particular the resources, construction and utilities industries. The level of activity in these industries will depend on a number of factors outside of the Company’s control. A decline in the level of activity in these industries could impact on the demand for the services to be offered by the Company, which could affect its performance. In addition, the Company is currently pushing to complete robust safety management systems and ISO accreditations in safety, quality, and environment which it considers will provide opportunities for Pentium to qualify as preferred contractors for Tier 1 clients and
P a g e | 12
| Topic | Summary | Summary | Further information |
|---|---|---|---|
| therefore provide expanded opportunities for | |||
| future deployment of its fleet. There is no | |||
| guarantee that the Company will be able to | |||
| obtain such accreditations, or that such | |||
| accreditations will qualify Pentium as |
|||
| preferred contractors for clients, which in turn | |||
| could have an adverse effect on the |
|||
| performance of the Company. | |||
| • | Future Capital Requirements:The Company’s | ||
| growth through its borefield construction | |||
| business and water management services | |||
| solutions will require substantial expenditure. | |||
| The future capital requirements of the | |||
| Company will depend on many factors. While | |||
| the Company believes its available cash and | |||
| the net proceeds of the Entitlement Offer | |||
| should be adequate to fund its business | |||
| development activities and other Company | |||
| objectives in the short term, there can be no | |||
| guarantees that it will be sufficient to | |||
| successfully achieve all the objectives of the | |||
| Company’s overall business strategy. The | |||
| Company may require additional funding for | |||
| working capital and/or to fund its growth | |||
| strategy, and there can be no assurance that | |||
| it will be able to obtain such funding. Any | |||
| additional equity financing may be dilutive to | |||
| existing Shareholders and any further debt | |||
| financing if available, may involve restrictive | |||
| covenants, which limit the Company’s |
|||
| operations and business strategy. The |
|||
| Company’s failure to raise capital if and when | |||
| needed could delay or suspend the Company’s | |||
| business strategy and could have a material | |||
| adverse effect on the Company’s activities. |
• Operational Risks and Asset Conditions and Maintenance: The Company’s business depends significantly on its assets, and the ability of the assets to perform the services offered by the Company. The Company has put in place adequate procedures to ensure the assets are properly maintained and in good working condition, however, there is the risk that assets may be faulty or break down or not perform to the levels expected by the Company, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operating and financial performance. In addition, as announced by the Company on 27 May 2020, Pentium has entered into an agreement to acquire 2 additional Dual Rotary rigs. Pentium will take ownership of the rigs and have responsibility for transporting the rigs to Western Australia.
P a g e | 13
| Topic | Summary | Summary | Further information |
|---|---|---|---|
| There is a risk that the rigs could be damaged | |||
| or lost during transit. Further, whilst | |||
| Pentium’s personnel have inspected the rigs | |||
| and are satisfied of their condition, there | |||
| remains a risk that the rigs could be faulty, | |||
| break down or not perform to the levels | |||
| excepted by the Company. In addition to | |||
| equipment failures, the Company may be | |||
| exposed to information technology system | |||
| failures, external services failure, industrial | |||
| action or disputes and natural disasters. The | |||
| Company takes steps to mitigate these | |||
| operations risks and to insure against them | |||
| but cannot completely guard itself against | |||
| these risks. Any disruption to the Company’s | |||
| intended operations could have an adverse | |||
| impact on its performance. | |||
| • | General Economic Risks: General economic | ||
| conditions, movements in interest and |
|||
| inflation rates and currency exchange rates | |||
| may have an adverse effect on the Company’s | |||
| activities, as well as on its ability to fund | |||
| those activities. Further, share market | |||
| conditions may affect the value of New | |||
| Shares regardless of the Company’s operating | |||
| performance. Share market conditions are | |||
| affected by many factors including 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. | |||
| What is the effect | The | Entitlement Offer will result in the issue of up | Section 3.1 |
| of the Entitlement | to approximately 89,297,474 New Shares which |

2. Details of the Entitlement Offer
2.1 Entitlement Offer
The Entitlement Offer is a non-renounceable pro rata entitlement offer of 3 New Shares for 10 Shares held by Eligible Shareholders on the Record Date at an issue price of $0.045 per share to raise approximately $4,018,386 million (before costs) ( Entitlement Offer ).
Under this Prospectus, Eligible Shareholders, being Shareholders on the Record Date with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand, are eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer.
As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company has on issue:
| Class | Number | |
|---|---|---|
| Shares | 297,658,246 | |
| Options | 20,000,000 | |
| Performance Rights | 10,000,000 |
Please refer to Section 3.1 for further details. The holders of existing options will not be entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer without first exercising their options.
Where the determination of the Entitlement of any Shareholder results in a fraction of a New Share, such fraction will be rounded up to the nearest whole New Share.
All of the New Shares will rank equally with the Shares on issue at the date of this Prospectus. Refer to Section 6.7 for a summary of the rights attaching to New Shares.
2.2 Purpose of the Entitlement Offer and Funding Allocation
Completion of the Entitlement Offer (assuming Eligible Shareholders subscribe for their Entitlement in full) will result in an increase in cash of $4,018,386 (before associated costs, assuming no options or performance rights are converted prior to the Record Date).
The Board and management are mindful that the global economic outlook is facing uncertainty due to the current COVID-19 pandemic which is impacting global capital markets. As such, the main purpose of the Entitlement Offer is to raise funds to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet, with funds raised to provide optionality for the Company to either execute its organic and acquisitive growth strategies, pay down debt or to provide additional cash reserves. In addition, funds raised will also be used to partially fund the Company’s acquisition of 2 additional drill rigs as announced by the Company on 27 May 2020.
P a g e | 17
The Company intends to apply the funds raised from the Entitlement Offer as follows:
| Description | ($) |
|---|---|
| Partially fund acquisition of 2 additional drill rigs as announced on 27 May 2020 |
1,000,000 |
| Provide optionality for the Company to either execute | |
| growth strategies, pay down debt or to provide | 2,955,250 |
| additional cash reserves | |
| Cost of the Offer | 63,136 |
| Total | $4,018,386 |
The above table is a statement of the Board's current intentions as at the date of this Prospectus. However, Shareholders should note that, as with any budget, the allocation of funds set out in the above table may change depending on a number of factors, including the outcome of operational and development activities, regulatory developments, market and general economic conditions and environmental factors. In light of this, the Board reserves the right to alter the way the funds are applied.
2.3
No rights trading
The rights to New Shares under the Entitlement Offer are non-renounceable. Accordingly, there will be no trading of rights on ASX and you may not dispose of your rights to subscribe for New Shares under the Entitlement Offer to any other party. If you do not take up your Entitlement to New Shares under the Entitlement Offer by the Entitlement Offer Closing Date, your Entitlement will lapse.
2.4 Minimum Subscription
There is no minimum subscription for the Entitlement Offer.
2.5 Underwriting
The Entitlement Offer is not underwritten.
2.6
Opening and Closing Dates
The Company will accept Entitlement and Acceptance Forms in respect of the Entitlement Offer from Applicants from the Opening Date until 5.00pm (WST) on the Closing Date or such other date as the Directors in their absolute discretion shall determine, subject to the Listing Rules.
Please note that payments made by BPAY[®] or EFT must be received no later than 5.00pm (WST) on the Closing Date. It is the responsibility of all Applicants to
P a g e | 18
ensure that their BPAY[®] or EFT payments are received by the Company on or before the Closing Date.
The Company reserves the right, subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, to extend the Closing Date of the Entitlement Offer without prior notice. If the Closing Date is varied, subsequent dates may also be varied accordingly.
2.7
Shortfall Offer
Any New Shares that are not applied for under the Entitlement Offer will form the Shortfall Shares. The offer to issue Shortfall Shares is a separate offer under this Prospectus ( Shortfall Offer ).
Under this Prospectus, the Company offers to issue the Shortfall Shares to Eligible Shareholders at the same price of $0.045 per New Share as that offered under the Entitlement Offer. The Shortfall Shares will have the same rights as the New Shares as detailed in Section 6.7.
Eligible Shareholders may apply for Shortfall Shares in accordance with the instructions detailed in Section 4.
An Application for Shortfall Shares accompanied by payment of Application Monies does not guarantee the allotment of any Shortfall Shares. The Shortfall Shares will be allocated to Eligible Shareholders following the Closing Date and these Shortfall Shares will be issued in accordance with the Shortfall allocation policy detailed in Section 2.8. The Shortfall Shares will be allocated and issued within three months after the Closing Date.
In relation to the Shortfall Offer, the Company reserves the right to issue to an Applicant a lesser number of Shortfall Shares than the number applied for, reject an Application or not proceed with the issuing of the Shortfall Shares or part thereof. If the number of Shortfall Shares issued is less than the number applied for, surplus Application Monies will be refunded in full. Interest will not be paid on Application Monies refunded.
2.8
Shortfall Allocation Policy
To align the interests of senior management with that of Shareholders, the Board has devised a Shortfall allocation policy that will give certain senior management of the Company (which, subject to Shareholder approval includes Managing Director Mr James Clement and Executive Director Mr Sheldon Burt) ( Management Shortfall Applicants ) priority to be allocated Shortfall Shares up to a specified amount, but also ensures that Eligible Shareholders who subscribe for their entitlement in full and wish to subscribe for Shortfall Shares, an allocation which is reflective of their existing shareholding in the Company.
If there is a Shortfall under the Entitlement Offer, the Company will allocate Shortfall Shares according to the following priority:
-
(a) the Management Shortfall Applicants will have priority to subscribe for 18.75% of the Shortfall, up to a maximum of 5 million Shortfall Shares (being a subscription amount of $225,000);
-
(b) the remaining Shortfall (being 81.25% of the Shortfall or the entire Shortfall less 5 million Shortfall Shares already allocated under limb (a)) will be allocated to all Eligible Shareholders (excluding the Management
P a g e | 19
Shortfall Applicants) who have applied for Shortfall Shares, with each Eligible Shareholder being allocated the lesser of:
-
(i) the number of Shortfall Shares they have applied for; and
-
(ii) the number of Shortfall Shares calculated by multiplying the number of Entitlement Offer Shares the Eligible Shareholder is entitled to and has subscribed for, divided by the total number of Shares taken up by Eligible Shareholders under the Entitlement Offer, multiplied by the available Shortfall;
-
(c) if following the allocation in paragraphs (a) and (b) there remains unallocated Shortfall Shares, the Management Shortfall Applicants will have priority to subscribe for 18.75% of the remaining Shortfall, after which the balance will be allocated to Eligible Shareholders in accordance with the policy set out paragraph (b). The Directors will apply this allocation process until there are either no unallocated Shortfall Shares or all Eligible Shareholders who have applied for Shortfall Shares have been allocated the full amount they have applied for.
The allocation of Shortfall Shares will be done in a manner to ensure that:
-
(a) none of Messrs Hutchinson, Clement and Burt will be allocated Shortfall Shares in excess of what is approved by Shareholders at the General Meeting; and
-
(b) no person will have a relevant interest of more than 19.99% of all Shares in the Company following completion of the Entitlement Offer (including the issue of Shortfall Shares).
2.9
Shareholder Meeting
The Company intends to hold a general meeting of Shareholders on 29 June 2020 to seek approval for Messrs Peter Hutchinson, James Clement and Sheldon Burt to participate in the Shortfall Offer ( General Meeting ). Any participation by these Directors in the Shortfall Offer will be subject to the allocation policy detailed in Section 2.8. A notice of meeting will be despatched to Shareholders on or around 29 May 2020 ( Notice of Meeting ).
2.10
Risks of the Entitlement Offer
As with any securities investment, there are risks associated with investing in the Company. Having regard to the risks applicable to the Company and its business detailed in Section 5, Eligible Shareholders should be aware that an investment in the New Shares offered under this Prospectus should be considered highly speculative and there exists a risk that you may, in the future, lose some or all of the value of your investment.
Before deciding to invest in the Company, investors should read this Prospectus in its entirety, in particular the specific risks associated with an investment in the Company (detailed in Section 5), and should consider all factors in light of their personal circumstances and seek appropriate professional advice.
P a g e | 20
2.11 Application Forms and BPAY[®] or EFT Payments
A personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form will be issued to the Eligible Shareholders together with a copy of this Prospectus. The Entitlement and Acceptance Form will enable Eligible Shareholders who take up their Entitlement in full to apply for Shortfall Shares which may be available under the Shortfall Offer.
Acceptance of a completed Application Form, or alternatively, a BPAY® or EFT payment, by the Company creates a legally binding contract between the Applicant and the Company for the number of New Shares (including any Shortfall Shares) accepted by the Company. The Application Forms do not need to be signed to be a binding acceptance of Shares. In the event an Eligible Shareholder who applies for Shortfall Shares is not allocated any Shortfall Shares or is allocated less than the amount applied for, the excess Application Monies will be refunded to the Applicant.
Full details on how to apply for New Shares under the Entitlement Offer and Shortfall Offer are provided in Section 4.
If an Application Form is not completed correctly it may still be treated as valid. The Directors' decision as to whether to treat the acceptance as valid and how to construe, amend or complete the Application Form is final.
2.12
Issue and Dispatch
All New Shares under the Entitlement Offer are expected to be issued on or before the dates specified in the Indicative Timetable.
It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine their allocation prior to trading in New Shares. Applicants who sell New Shares before they receive their holding statements will do so at their own risk.
It is intended that the Shortfall Shares will be issued on the same day as New Shares under the Entitlement Offer, and at the latest they will be issued within three months after the Closing Date.
2.13
Application Monies held on trust
All Application Monies will be held on trust in a bank account maintained solely for the purpose of depositing Application Monies received pursuant to this Prospectus until the New Shares are issued. All Application Monies will be returned (without interest) if the New Shares are not issued.
2.14
ASX quotation
Application will be made to ASX no later than seven days after the date of this Prospectus for Official Quotation of the New Shares offered under this Prospectus. If ASX does not grant Official Quotation of the New Shares within three months after the date of this Prospectus (or such period as the ASX allows), no New Shares will be issued or allotted under the Entitlement Offer and the Company will repay, as soon as practicable, without interest, all Application Monies received pursuant to this Prospectus.
ASX takes no responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus. The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Shares.
P a g e | 21
2.15 Withdrawal
The Directors may at any time decide to withdraw this Prospectus and the Entitlement Offer, in which case, the Company will return all Application Monies (without interest) in accordance with the Corporations Act.
2.16 CHESS
The Company participates in the Clearing House Electronic Subregister System, known as CHESS. ASX Settlement, a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX, operates CHESS in accordance with the Listing Rules and Securities Clearing House Business Rules.
Under CHESS, Applicants will not receive a certificate but will receive a statement of their holding of Shares.
If you are broker sponsored, ASX Settlement will send you a CHESS statement.
The CHESS statement will set out the number of Shares issued under this Prospectus, provide details of your holder identification number, the participant identification number of the sponsor and the terms and conditions applicable to the Shares.
If you are registered on the Issuer Sponsored subregister, your statement will be dispatched by the Share Registry and will contain the number of Shares issued to you under this Prospectus and your security holder reference number.
A CHESS statement or Issuer Sponsored statement will routinely be sent to Shareholders at the end of any calendar month during which the balance of their shareholding changes. Shareholders may request a statement at any other time, however, a charge may be made for additional statements.
2.17
Ineligible Shareholders
The Entitlement Offer is not being extended to Shareholders whose registered address is outside Australia or New Zealand ( Ineligible Shareholders ). The Company is of the view that it is unreasonable to make the Entitlement Offer to Shareholders outside of Australia or New Zealand, having regard to:
-
(a) the number of those Shareholders;
-
(b) the number and value of Shares to be offered to those persons; and
-
(c) the cost of complying with overseas legal requirements.
This Prospectus and accompanying Application Forms do not, nor are they intended to, constitute an offer in any place in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make the Entitlement Offer.
The Company is not required to make offers under this Prospectus to Shareholders other than in Australia or New Zealand. Where this Prospectus has been dispatched to Shareholders domiciled outside Australia or New Zealand and where this country's securities code or legislation prohibits or restricts in any way the making of the Entitlement Offer and Shortfall Offer, this Prospectus is provided for information purposes only.
P a g e | 22
Shareholders resident in Australia or New Zealand holding Shares on behalf of persons who are resident overseas are responsible for ensuring that taking up Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer does not breach regulations in the relevant overseas jurisdiction. Return of a duly completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation that there has been no breach of those regulations.
2.18
Taxation Implications
The Directors do not consider it appropriate to give Applicants advice regarding the taxation consequences of subscribing for New Shares.
The Company, its advisers and its officers do not accept any responsibility or liability for any such taxation consequences to Applicants. Applicants should consult their own professional tax adviser to obtain advice in relation to the taxation laws, regulations and implications applicable to their personal circumstances.

P a g e | 33
5. Risks
The New Shares offered under this Prospectus are considered highly speculative. The proposed future activities of the Company are subject to a number of risks and other factors that may affect its future performance. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate controls. However, many of the risks are outside the control of the Directors and management of the Company and cannot be mitigated.
The risks described in this Section 5 are not an exhaustive list of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. It should be considered in conjunction with other information in this Prospectus. The risks described in, and others not specifically referred to, in this Section 5 may in the future materially affect the financial performance and position of the Company and the value of New Shares offered under this Prospectus. The New Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital or the market value of those securities. The risks described in this Section 5 also necessarily include forward looking statements. Actual events may be materially different to those described and may therefore affect the Company in a different way.
Investors should be aware that the performance of the Company may be affected and the value of its Shares may rise or fall over any given period. None of the Directors or any person associated with the Company guarantees the Company's performance, the performance of the Shares or the market price at which the Shares will trade. The Directors strongly recommend that potential investors consider the risks detailed in this Section 5, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus, and consult their professional advisers, before they decide whether to apply for New Shares.
5.1 Risks specific to the Company and the Entitlement Offer
The current and future operations of the Company may be affected by a range of factors, including:
(a) COVID-19 Risk
The global economic outlook is facing uncertainty due to the current COVID-19 pandemic which is impacting global capital markets.
As noted in the Company’s 18 May 2020 ASX announcement, the Company hasn’t been immune to the economic disruption caused by the pandemic. However, management has to date been able to successfully navigate the restrictions imposed by the state and federal governments particularly on the movements of staff to remote locations. As such, the Company been able to navigate any COVID-19 associated downturn in revenue or cost increases to date. However, as the situation with respect to COVID-19 continues to develop (and the economy and the government’s response to the pandemic evolves), there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to mitigate any adverse effects of COVID-19 on the business.
P a g e | 34
Further, the Company is ultimately exposed to the Australian resources sector. A downturn in the resources sector (as a result of COVID-19 and/or other factors) could lead to reduced demand for the Company’s services, which could have an adverse effect on the operating and financial performance of the Company. A prolonged economic contraction as a result of COVID-19 and/or other factors could impact on the Company’s ability to continue to meet its ongoing financial obligations (including debt).
(b)
Contractual Risk
As with any contract, there is a risk that the business could be disrupted in situations where there is a disagreement or dispute in relation to a term of the contract. Should such a disagreement or dispute occur, this may have an adverse impact on the Company’s operations and performance generally. It is not possible for the Company to predict or protect itself against all such risks.
(c)
Recently Established Business
The Company relisted on ASX following completion of the Acquisition in September 2019. As detailed in the Company’s announcements, the Company has established itself as a fully operational business with 8 of its 10 rigs under contract, but remains a relatively new entrant into the market.
The Company’s ability to continue to generate revenue will depend on the Company being able to retain its existing clients as well as attract new business. There is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in attracting and retaining clients. Any new clients will be subject to the parties entering into commercial agreements which will be subject to negotiations, and there is no guarantee that any agreements will be entered into
(d)
Demand Risk
The Company’s business depends on, among other things, the level of activity in the industries it services, in particular the resources, construction and utilities industries. The level of activity in these industries will depend on a number of factors outside of the Company’s control. A decline in the level of activity in these industries could impact on the demand for the services to be offered by the Company, which could affect its performance.
In addition, the Company is currently pushing to complete robust safety management systems and ISO accreditations in safety, quality, and environment which it considers will provide opportunities for Pentium to qualify as preferred contractors for Tier 1 clients and therefore provide expanded opportunities for future deployment of its fleet. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain such accreditations, or that such accreditations will qualify Pentium as preferred contractors for clients, which in turn could have an adverse effect on the performance of the Company.
P a g e | 35
(e) Future Capital Requirements
The Company’s growth through its borefield construction business and water management services solutions will require substantial expenditure. The future capital requirements of the Company will depend on many factors including its business development activities. While the Company believes its available cash and the net proceeds of the Entitlement Offer should be adequate to fund its business development activities and other Company objectives in the short term, there can be no guarantees that it will be sufficient to successfully achieve all the objectives of the Company’s overall business strategy. The Company may require additional funding for working capital and/or to fund its growth strategy. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional resources on terms acceptable to the Company or if at all. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to the Company’s existing Shareholders and any further debt financing if available, may involve restrictive covenants, which limit the Company’s operations and business strategy. The Company’s failure to raise capital if and when needed could delay or suspend the Company’s business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s activities.
(f) Climate Risk
The Company is exposed to a number of natural events such as cyclones, seasonal rainfalls, flash flooding and fire which are beyond its control. Whilst intense and prolonged wet weather events generally play a part in groundwater replenishment, the same events may cause operational delays. Any natural events could affect the Company’s productivity and ability to engage in contract drilling for customers, which in turn could have an adverse effect on the financial performance of the Company.
(g) Operational Risks and Asset Conditions and Maintenance
The Company’s business depends significantly on its assets, and the ability of the assets to perform the services to be offered by the Company. The Company has put in place adequate procedures to ensure the assets are properly maintained and in good working condition including through regular maintenance. The Company has also implemented a maintenance strategy underpinned by both preventative and planned measures. However, there is the risk that assets may be faulty or break down or not perform to the levels expected by the Company, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operating and financial performance.
In addition, as announced by the Company on 27 May 2020, Pentium has entered into an agreement to acquire 2 Dual Rotary rigs. Pentium will take ownership of the rigs and have responsibility for transporting the rigs to Western Australia. There is a risk that the rigs could be damaged or lost during transit. Further, whilst Pentium’s personnel have inspected the rigs and are satisfied of their condition, there remains a risk that the rigs could be faulty, break down or not perform to the levels excepted by the Company, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s growth strategy and operating and financial performance.
P a g e | 36
In addition to equipment failures, the Company may be exposed to information technology system failures, external services failure, industrial action or disputes and natural disasters. The Company takes steps to mitigate these operations risks and to insure against them but cannot completely guard itself against these risks. Any disruption to the Company’s intended operations could have an adverse impact on its performance.
(h) Business Strategy Risk
The Company’s growth and financial performance is dependent on its ability to successfully execute its growth strategy, including through the acquisition of complementary or synergistic assets or businesses. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure such assets or businesses nor achieve the level of growth the Company’s strategy aims to achieve. If the Company fails to execute on tis business strategy, its business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
(i)
Technology Risk
The drilling industry (like many other industries) is subject to the risk that advances in technology could partly or completely displace existing assets or services. If new technology is developed that could offer the services to be provided by the Company in a better or more efficient way, it could adversely affect the Company’s ability to service clients and obtain new clients, which could affect its performance.
(j) Environmental
Environmental management and compliance is an important part of the hydrogeological drilling business. The Company is exposed to numerous laws, regulations and guidelines relating to the protection of the environment. The Company has put in place policies and procedures to ensure compliance with environmental laws. Should the Company’s policies, procedures or actions fail to comply with environmental laws the Company may incur environmental liability, regulatory penalties, or have licences suspended, cancelled or subject to additional conditions.
(k) Failure of Systems and Processes
There can be no assurance that internal control systems and procedures of the Company will not result in, or lead to, a future material weakness or loss of accreditations, including a failure of systems to ensure effective control of costs across projects and operations. Whilst the Company ensures that it has systems and policies and processes in place to manage general personnel risk (including ensuring that all employees are aware of those policies and procedures), the Company cannot guarantee that an individual will not engage in conduct contrary to the Company’s internal controls, system, business rules, policies and procedures or the law (including fraudulent activity). Any such action could adversely
P a g e | 37
affect the Company’s ability to deliver projects and have an adverse impact on the Company and its brand.
(l)
Reliance on Key Personnel
The Company is reliant on a number of key personnel and consultants. The loss of one or more of these key contributors could have an adverse impact on the business of the Company. It may be difficult for the Company to attract and retain suitably qualified and experienced people, due to the relatively small size of the Company, compared with other industry participants. Further, the Company’s business is reliant on its ability to attract and retain appropriately skilled staff to be able to operate its assets and support the Company’s operations. The Company may undertake projects in remote locations where there may be an increased risk of labour shortages and/ or the costs of labour may be higher. A failure by the Company to attract and/or retain staff may adversely affect the Company’s performance.
(m)
Competition
The Company is subject to competition from other operators in the resources, construction and infrastructure drilling services industries internationally and domestically. As a recently established business, the Company faces competitors who may have a more established foothold in the industry. The Company considers that it is well placed to compete for tenders, however its success against competitors cannot be guaranteed. A number of factors, including any one or more of the following, could increase the market share of any of those competitors and materially affect the Company’s financial performance and position:
-
(i) acquiring new assets to expand capacity (although lead times for acquiring Dual Rotary rigs can be significant);
-
(ii) acquiring or developing technologies which give them a competitive advantage;
-
(iii) lowering prices;
-
(iv) increasing scale or range of products or services; or
-
(v) undertaking strategic moves to combine or consolidate their business.
(n)
Insurance
The Company insures its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, insurance of all risks associated with hydrogeological drilling is not always available and, where it is available, the cost may be high. The Company has insurance in place considered appropriate for the Company’s needs.
The business of the Company is subject to a number of risks and hazards generally, including adverse environmental conditions, industrial accidents, labour disputes, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, ground or slope failures, cave-ins, changes in
P a g e | 38
the regulatory environment and natural phenomena such as extreme weather conditions, floods and earthquakes. Such occurrences could result in damage to buildings, personal injury or death, environmental damage to properties of the Company or others, delays in drilling, 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 hydrogeological drilling is not generally available to the Company or to other companies in the drilling industry on acceptable terms.
The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company. In addition, there is a risk that an insurer defaults in the payment of a legitimate claim by the Company.
(o) Occupational Health and Safety Risk
The Company is committed to providing a healthy and safe environment for its personnel, contractors and visitors. Exploration and drilling activities have inherent risks and hazards. The Company ensures that it provides appropriate instructions, equipment, preventative measures, first aid information and training to all stakeholders through its occupational, health and safety management systems. However, any occupational health and safety incidents could have an adverse impact on the Company’s operations, performance and reputation.
(p)
Resources Industry and Commodity Pricing Risk
The resources industry is exposed to a number of factors including fluctuations in commodity prices and exchange rates. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company, including supply and demand for, technological advancements, forward selling activities and other macroeconomic factors. Any downturn in the resources industry may have an adverse effect on the operations and financial performance of the Company.
(q)
Dilution Risk
The Company currently has 297,658,246 Shares on issue. On completion of the Entitlement Offer, the Company will issue New Shares as detailed in this Prospectus. Shareholders who do not take up their entitlement in full may be diluted by the issue of New Shares under the Offers. There is also a risk that the interests of Shareholders will be further diluted as a result of future capital raisings required in order to fund the future development of the Company.
(a) Economic risks
5.2 General risks
P a g e | 39
Changes in the general economic climate in which the Company operates may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. Factors that may contribute to that general economic climate include the level of direct and indirect competition against the Company, include, but are not limited to:
-
(i) general economic conditions;
-
(ii) changes in government policies, taxation and other laws;
-
(iii) the strength of the equity and share markets in Australia and throughout the world;
-
(iv) movement in, or outlook on, exchange rates, interest rates and inflation rates;
-
(v) industrial disputes in Australia and overseas;
-
(vi) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
-
(vii) financial failure or default by an entity with which the Company may become involved in a contractual relationship; and
-
(viii) natural disasters, social upheaval or war.
(b) Litigation risks
The participation by the Company in the hydrogeological drilling industry may expose the Company to possible litigation risks, including native title claims, tenure disputes, environmental claims, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. The Company may also be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation.
Further, the Company has previously been in the business of mineral exploration, followed by aluminium recycling and salt slag processing. As with any operating business, there is a risk that claims could be made against the Company in respect of its previous operations and assets even if the Company is no longer involved in those operations or no longer holds the relevant assets.
Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Company’s operations, financial performance and financial position.
The Company is not presently involved in litigation and the Directors are not aware of any basis on which any litigation against the Company may arise.
(c)
Market conditions
Share market conditions may affect the value of the Company's Shares regardless of the Company's operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:
P a g e | 40
-
(i) general economic outlook;
-
(ii) introduction of tax reform or other new legislation;
-
(iii) interest rates and inflation rates;
-
(iv) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;
-
(v) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and
-
(vi) 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. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return to Shareholders arising from the Acquisitions or otherwise.
(d) Unforeseen expenses
While the Company is not aware of any expenses that may need to be incurred that have not been taken into account, if such expenses were subsequently incurred, the expenditure proposals of the Company may be adversely affected.
(e)
Macro-economic risks
Changes in the general economic outlook in Australia and globally may impact the performance of the Company and its projects. Such changes may include:
-
(i) uncertainty in the Australian economy or increases in the rate of inflation resulting from domestic or international conditions (including movements in domestic interest rates and reduced economic activity);
-
(ii) increases in expenses (including the cost of goods and services used by the Company);
-
(iii) new or increased government taxes, duties or changes in taxation laws; and
-
(iv) fluctuations in equity markets in Australia and internationally.
A prolonged and significant downturn in general economic conditions may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s trading and financial performance.
(f)
Broader general risks
There are also a number of broader general risks which may impact the Company’s performance. These include:
P a g e | 41
-
(i) abnormal stoppages in normal business operations due to factors such as war, political or civil unrest, infrastructure failure or industrial disruption; and
-
(ii) higher than budgeted costs associated with the provision of service offerings.
5.3 Investment Highly Speculative
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 New Shares offered under this Prospectus. Therefore, the New Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those New Shares. Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional adviser before deciding whether to apply for New Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.
P a g e | 42
6. Additional information
6.1 Continuous Disclosure Obligations
The Company is a 'disclosing entity' (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of section 713 of the Corporations Act, and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company's Securities. The New Shares are in the same class as Shares that have been quoted on the official list of the ASX during the three months prior to the issue of this Prospectus.
This Prospectus is a 'transaction specific prospectus' to which the special content rules under section 713 of the Corporations Act apply. That provision allows the issue of a more concise prospectus in relation to an offer of securities, or operation to acquire securities, in a class which has been continuously quoted by ASX in the three months prior to the date of the prospectus. In general terms 'transaction specific prospectuses' are only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of New Shares on the Company and the rights attaching to the New Shares. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, the 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 enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the three months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX.
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 Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act states that:
-
(a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;
-
(b) copies of documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company (not being documents referred to in section 1274(2)(a) of the Corporations Act) may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of the ASIC; and
P a g e | 43
-
(c) it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the closing date of the Entitlement Offer:
-
(i) the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2019 being the most recent annual financial report of the Company lodged with the ASIC before the issue of this Prospectus; and
-
(ii) the half year financial report of the Company for the six months ended 31 December 2019 lodged with ASIC after the lodgement of the annual financial report mentioned in paragraph (i) and before the issue of this Prospectus; and
-
(iii) any documents used to notify ASX of information relating to the Company in the period from lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in paragraph (i) above until the issue of this Prospectus in accordance with the Listing Rules as referred to in section 674(1) of the Corporations Act.
Copies of all documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company can be inspected at the registered office of the Company during normal office hours.
The Company has lodged the following announcements with ASX since the lodgement of its annual report on 31 October 2019:
