On behalf of the directors of WHL ( Directors ), I am pleased to enclose offers to acquire all of your Quantify Ordinary Shares and all of your Quantify Ordinary Options in Quantify Technology Ltd (ACN 160 392 898) ( Quantify ).

By accepting WHL’s offers you will receive, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable offers:

  • (a) 1.0189 WHL Shares and 0.4891 WHL Performance Shares for every 1 Quantify Ordinary Share you own ( Share Takeover Offer ); and

  • (b) 1.0238 WHL Bid Options for every 1 Quantify Ordinary Option you own ( Option Takeover Offer ),

(the Share Takeover Offer and Option Takeover Offer together being referred to as, the Takeover Offers ).

These terms and conditions of the Takeover Offers are explained further in Annexure A.

The Share Takeover Offer values each Quantify Ordinary Share at between[2] :

  • (a) $0.0611 (if the WHL Performance Shares do not vest and have a nil value); and

  • (b) $0.0905 (if the WHL Performance Shares vest and assuming Shares have a value of $0.06).

The actual value will depend on the price of Shares at the time a WHL Performance Share vests.

In addition to this attractive value, you will enjoy ASX trading liquidity and you may also be entitled to full or partial Australian capital gains tax rollover relief.

You will also continue to benefit from the expertise of the Quantify Board and management team, with Mr Mark Lapins (current Managing Director of Quantify) and Mr Aidan Montague (current Chairman of Quantify) who along with Mr Alex Paior, will form the new Board of WHL post completion of the Takeover Offers.

The Quantify Board, in the absence of a superior proposal and in the absence of a variation or waiver of an Essential Bid Condition, unanimously recommends that Quantify Ordinary Shareholders and Quantify Ordinary Optionholders accept the Takeover Offers.

The Directors believe you should ACCEPT the Takeover Offers for the following reasons:

2 WHL agreed to offer $15,000,000 worth of Shares (at a deemed issue price of $0.06 per Share post Consolidation, being the proposed issue price under the Capital Raising) to Quantify Ordinary Shareholders, with the remaining $7,000,000 in value to be contingently provided through the issue of Performance Shares that only vest and convert into Shares on the satisfaction of agreed milestones. See Section 2.1 for further details.

5

  1. You will receive attractive value for Your Quantify Ordinary Shares;

  2. You will gain ASX share trading liquidity;

  3. You will become a shareholder or optionholder in a better capitalised company with improved access to capital;

  4. The Board unanimously recommends that you accept the Takeover Offers in the absence of a superior proposal;

  5. Quantify Ordinary Shareholders representing 65.8% of Quantify Ordinary Shares on issue, and Quantify Ordinary Optionholders representing 49.8% of Quantify’s Ordinary Options on issue intend to accept the Takeover Offers in the absence of a superior proposal and in the absence of a variation or waiver of an Essential Bid Condition; and

  6. You may be eligible for full or partial capital gains tax rollover relief.

The conditions of the Share Takeover Offer are explained further in Section 1.8 of Annexure A and include obtaining the necessary approvals from WHL Shareholders required as a result of the Share Takeover Offer.

The Option Takeover Offer is conditional on the Share Takeover Offer becoming unconditional (see Section 2.8 of Annexure A).

In conjunction with the Takeover Offers, WHL will seek to raise at least $3.5 million and up to $5 million at an issue price of $0.06 per WHL Share (on a post-Consolidation basis) under a full form Prospectus ( Prospectus Offer ).

We encourage you to read this Bidder’s Statement carefully, including the risk factors set out in Section 8 before accepting the Takeover Offers.

PART C – OVERVIEW OF RISKS

No. Question Answer Further information
**1. ** Are there risks if
I accept the
Takeover
Offers?

WHL
Shares

WHL
Performance Shares (pursuant to

WHL will acquire Quantify. There

2. WHY YOU SHOULD ACCEPT THE OFFER

WHL believes you should ACCEPT the Takeover Offers for the following reasons:

1. You will receive attractive value for Your Quantify Ordinary Shares 2. You will gain ASX share trading liquidity

3. You will become a shareholder or optionholder in a better capitalised company with improved access to capital

4. The Board unanimously recommends that you accept the Takeover Offers in the absence of a superior proposal

5. Quantify Ordinary Shareholders representing 65.8% of Quantify Ordinary Shares on issue, and Quantify Ordinary Optionholders representing 49.8% of Quantify’s Ordinary Options on issue intend to accept the Takeover Offers in the absence of a superior proposal and in the absence of a variation or waiver of an Essential Bid Condition

6. You may be eligible for full or partial capital gains tax rollover relief

The above is only a headline summary of some of the reasons why you should accept the Takeover Offers. Each of the reasons is explained below.

If you wish to accept a Takeover Offer, you must return the applicable signed Acceptance Form by 5:00 pm (WST) on 31 January 2017 (unless the relevant Takeover Offer is extended).

2.1 You will receive attractive value for Your Quantify Ordinary Shares

Under the Share Takeover Offer you will receive 1.0189 WHL Shares and 0.4891 WHL Performance Shares for every 1 Quantify Ordinary Share, which values Your Quantify Ordinary Shares at:

  • (a) $0.0905 each, based on a deemed issue price of $0.06 (postConsolidation), the equivalent of the price offered to investors under the Prospectus Offer;

  • (b) $0.125 each, based on the closing price for WHL Shares on 9 September 2016 of $0.001 (being $0.083 on a post-Consolidation basis), the last trading day for WHL Shares on the ASX prior to the date of the announcement of the Takeover Offers; and

  • (c) $0.125 each, based on the 30 day VWAP for WHL Shares to and including 9 September 2016 of $0.001 (being the 30 day period up to and including the last trading day for WHL Shares on the ASX prior to the date of this Bidder’s Statement). This is equivalent to a price per WHL Share of $0.083 on a post-Consolidation basis.

The implied value of the Share Takeover Offer set out above assumes that the WHL Performance Shares are given an equivalent value to the WHL Shares. The actual value attributable to the WHL Performance Shares will depend upon the price of Shares at the time a WHL Performance Share vests. In the event that none of the Milestones for conversion of the WHL Performance Shares are met, the WHL Performance Shares will not convert into WHL Shares and the value applicable to the WHL Performance Shares will not be realised. A summary of the terms and conditions of the WHL Performance Shares is set out in Section 3.20.

On the assumption that the WHL Performance Shares do not vest and have a nil

22

value, the Share Takeover Offer values each Quantify Ordinary Share at between $0.0611 and $0.0846, as follows:

  • (a) $0.0611 each, based on a deemed issue price of $0.06 (postConsolidation), the equivalent of the price offered to investors under the Prospectus Offer;

  • (b) $0.0846 each, based on the closing price for WHL Shares on 9 September 2016 of $0.001 (being $0.083 on a post-Consolidation basis), the last trading day for WHL Shares on the ASX prior to the date of the announcement of the Takeover Offers; and

  • (c) $0.0846 each, based on the 30 day VWAP for WHL Shares to and including 9 September 2016 of $0.001 (being the 30 day period up to and including the last trading day for WHL Shares on the ASX prior to the date of this Bidder’s Statement). This is equivalent to a price per WHL Share of $0.083 on a post-Consolidation basis).

The implied value of the Share Takeover Offer will change as a consequence of changes in the market price of WHL Shares from time to time. The following table may assist Quantify Ordinary Shareholders to determine the implied value of the Share Takeover Offer at different WHL Share price levels. The table is not an indication of prices at which WHL Shares may trade – WHL Shares may trade within this range or at higher or lower levels. The prices in the table are the same pre and post the Consolidation of the WHL Shares and assumes that the WHL Performance Shares have an equivalent value to the WHL Shares.

Price of a WHL Share ($) Price of a WHL Share ($) Implied offer price for a
Quantify Ordinary Share
($)
Pre-Consolidation Post-Consolidation
$0.001 $0.083 $0.125
$0.005 $0.415 $0.626
$0.010 $0.830 $1.252
$0.015 $1.245 $1.877
$0.020 $1.660 $2.503
$0.025 $2.075 $3.129
$0.030 $2.490 $3.755

The Company has adopted a value of $0.06 per WHL Share (on a postConsolidation basis and on completion of the Takeover Offers) on the basis that this is the price that WHL Shares are being offered to investors under the Prospectus Offer.

If investors do not agree with this valuation and do not subscribe under the Prospectus Offer, WHL may not be able to raise at least $3.5 million under the Prospectus in which case the Prospectus Offer Condition to the Share Takeover Offer will not be satisfied. In those circumstances, the current intention of the WHL Directors is to not proceed with the Takeover Offers. However, WHL Directors reserve the right, with Quantify’s consent, to waive the Prospectus Offer Condition and proceed with the Takeover Offers.

Assuming WHL Shares and WHL Performance Shares each have an implied value of $0.06 each, this equates to a total consideration of $22,200,000 for the acquisition of Quantify. In the event that none of the Milestones are achieved and

23

the WHL Performance Shares do not convert into WHL Performance Shares, the implied total consideration is $15,000,000.

Quantify Ordinary Shareholders should be aware that:

  • (a) the WHL Performance Shares will not be tradeable and will not be quoted. There will be no market for WHL Performance Shares and it will not be possible to sell, transfer or otherwise deal with WHL Performance Shares; and

  • (b) the WHL Performance Shares will carry no dividend or distribution rights, and do not entitle the holder to vote at a meeting of WHL Shareholders (until and unless converted to WHL Shares if a milestone is fulfilled).

2.2 You will gain ASX share trading liquidity

Since WHL is ASX listed and WHL is offering to issue WHL Shares and WHL Performance Shares as consideration for Your Quantify Ordinary Shares and WHL Bid Options in consideration for Your Quantify Ordinary Options, you will, if you accept a Takeover Offer, subject to ASX granting quotation, gain the ability to trade the WHL Shares (and WHL Shares issued upon conversion of the WHL Performance Shares) and/or WHL Bid Options that you receive as Offer Consideration on ASX should a Takeover Offer be successful (subject to any trading restrictions that may apply to your WHL Shares and/or WHL Bid Options).

Gaining share trading liquidity on ASX has been a key objective of the Quantify Board for several years and the Share Takeover Offer provides you the opportunity to realise this objective and associated benefits.

2.3 You will become a shareholder in a better capitalised company with improved access to capital

By accepting the Share Takeover Offer and the Share Takeover Offer becoming unconditional, you will become a shareholder of a company with an enhanced balance sheet and improved access to capital for funding growth given its ASX listing. Refer to Section 5.11 for the pro forma capital structure of the Merged Group upon completion of the Takeover Offers.

2.4 Quantify Board unanimously recommends that you accept the Takeover Offers in the absence of a superior proposal

The Quantify Board, in the absence of a superior proposal and in the absence of a variation or waiver of an Essential Bid Condition, unanimously recommends that Quantify Ordinary Shareholders and Quantify Ordinary Optionholders accept the Takeover Offers. This unanimous recommendation is contained in the Target’s Statement.

The members of the Quantify Board have also indicated that they intend, in the absence of a superior proposal and in the absence of a variation or waiver of an Essential Bid Condition, to accept and/or procure the acceptance of the Takeover Offers in respect to all of the Quantify Ordinary Shares and Quantify Ordinary Options that they control.

24

2.5 Quantify Ordinary Shareholders, representing 65.8% of Quantify Ordinary Shares on issue, and Quantify Ordinary Optionholders representing 49.8% of Quantify’s Ordinary Options on issue intend to accept the Takeover Offers in the absence of a superior proposal

As announced to ASX on 12 September 2016, Quantify Ordinary Shareholders, representing 65.8% of Quantify Ordinary Shares on issue, and Quantify Ordinary Optionholders representing 49.8% of Quantify’s Ordinary Options on issue have made statements of intention to accept the applicable Takeover Offer in respect of their Quantify Ordinary Shares and Quantify Ordinary Options, respectively, in the absence of a Superior Proposal and in the absences of any variation or waiver of an Essential Bid Condition.

Assuming that these Quantify Ordinary Shareholders follow through with their stated intentions, the 90% Minimum Acceptance Condition to the Share Takeover Offer will be near satisfaction. The WHL Board therefore encourages you to accept the Takeover Offers.

2.6 You may be eligible for capital gains tax rollover relief

Quantify Ordinary Shareholders may have access to full or partial scrip for scrip rollover relief in relation to the exchange of their Quantify Ordinary Shares for WHL Shares and WHL Performance Shares, in which case you will not incur capital gains tax (CGT) as a result of accepting the Share Takeover Offer.

Should the Share Takeover Offer be successful and result in WHL becoming the holder of 80% or more of the voting shares in Quantify as at the close of the Offer Period, Quantify Ordinary Shareholders who would otherwise make a capital gain from the disposal of their Quantify Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Share Takeover Offer may be able to choose to obtain full or partial scrip for scrip rollover relief.

If scrip for scrip rollover relief is available and is chosen by Quantify Ordinary Shareholders who would otherwise have made a capital gain on the disposal of their Quantify Ordinary Shares under the Share Takeover Offer, all of the capital gain from the disposal may be disregarded.

However, Quantify Ordinary Shareholders may be subject to capital gains tax as a result of a later taxable event (such as a disposal) happening to the WHL Shares received as consideration under the Share Takeover Offer.

Capital gains tax scrip-for-scrip rollover relief may also be available to Quantify Ordinary Optionholders who would otherwise make a capital gain from the disposal of their Quantify Ordinary Options pursuant to the Option Takeover Offer.

Please refer to Section 7 for more information.

Substantial Holder WHL Shares (post-
Consolidation)
%
Lapins Holdings Pty Ltd A/C> 120,412,334 29.6%

Notes:

  1. The above table has been drafted on the basis of a number of assumptions that may or may not eventuate. As such the actual Shareholdings of the parties on completion of the Consolidation, Takeover Offers and Prospectus Offer may vary.

  2. This table has been prepared on the basis that $3,500,000 is raised under the Prospectus Offer.

  3. This number includes the 8,333,333 WHL Shares which may be issued to Cuda, an entity controlled by Mark Lapins and an associate of Lapins Holdings Pty Ltd <Lapins Family A/C.

  4. This number does not include WHL Performance Shares or WHL Founder Performance Shares that could convert into WHL Shares if the required milestones are met. Lapins Holdings Pty

31

Ltd could increase its shareholding to 34.2% if all WHL Performance Shares, WHL Founder Performance Shares and Performance Rights convert to WHL Shares, and all WHL Bid Options are exercised, assuming that the minimum subscription of $3,500,000 is raised under the Prospectus Offer.

3.10 Mark Lapins Shareholding and Benefits

The table below set out the Quantify securities held by Mark Lapins and his associates, and the number of Securities WHL is proposing to issue in consideration for the acquisition of those securities.

WHL has also agreed, subject to necessary Shareholder approval, to grant Mr Mark Lapins 6,250,000 Performance Rights on the Effective Date under the Performance Rights Plan.

Under the MIA, subject to the production of documentary evidence to the satisfaction of WHL acting reasonably and any necessary shareholder or regulatory approvals, including ASX approval (which has been sought) WHL has agreed to reimburse Cuda Development Corporation Pty Ltd ( Cuda ), a company associated with Mark Lapins, the amount of $500,000 in past expenditure incurred in developing Quantify’s intellectual property as follows:

  • (a) $166,666 on WHL being reinstated to official quotation on ASX;

  • (b) $166,667 on the date that is 6 months after the date that WHL is reinstated to official quotation on ASX; and

  • (c) $166,667 on the date that is 12 months after the date that WHL is reinstated to official quotation on ASX.

If, and to the extent, the ASX does not approve WHL paying Cuda (or its nominee) cash for reimbursement of the $500,000, shortfall will be satisfied by the issue of Shares on completion of the Merger, subject to WHL Shareholder approval being obtained at the Meeting. If the ASX approves the payment of $500,000 in cash before the Meeting, Shareholder approval for the issue of WHL Shares to Cuda will not be sought at the Meeting.

Mark Lapins and his associates do not hold any of the Company’s securities as at the date of this Bidder’s Statement.

If the Merger is successfully completed, and all securities envisaged under the Notice of Meeting are issued (assuming no Shares are issued to Cuda for the reimbursement of past expenditure), Mr Mark Lapins and his associates will hold

32

between 26.5% - 28.2% of WHL’s Shares (based on the maximum subscription/minimum subscription under the Capital Raising).

WHL does not require Shareholder approval for this Shareholding to be acquired as the Shares will be issued as consideration under the Share Takeover Offer and so fall within the exception in Section 611 item 4 of the Corporations Act.

If 8,333,333 Shares are issued to Cuda (or its nominee), Mr Mark Lapins and his associates (which includes Cuda) will hold between 27.9% - 29.6% of WHL’s Shares (based on the maximum subscription/minimum subscription under the Capital Raising). If any of these Shares are issued, they will be issued to Cuda immediately before the completion of the Share Takeover Offer and so will not result in any breach of the takeover provisions of the Corporations Act.

The Company is not seeking Shareholder approval at the Meeting for any increase in Shareholding by Mark Lapins and his associates that may result from the exercise or conversion of the WHL Performance Shares, WHL Founder Performance Shares, Bid Options or Performance Rights that are intended to be issued to him and his associates. As such, these can only be converted into Shares to the extent an exception under the Corporations Act applies at the time of conversion (eg the 3% creep exception).

Under their terms, conversion of the WHL Performance Shares, WHL Founder Performance Shares, and Performance Rights will be deferred to the extent conversion would cause the holder to breach the takeover provisions of the Corporations Act.

If all of the WHL Performance Shares, WHL Founder Performance Shares, Bid Options and Performance Rights that may be issued to Mr Mark Lapins and his associates are converted into Shares (resulting in them holding a total of 207,249,002 Shares assuming no Shares are issued to Cuda for reimbursement of past expenditure, or if 8,333,333 Shares are issued to Cuda, a total of 215,582,335 Shares), and no other Shares are issued (other than all other WHL Performance Shares, Bid Options and Performance Rights are converted into Shares, and the Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Quantify Convertible Loans):

  • (a) the number of Shares on issue would increase to between 621,867,067 and 646,867,067 (based on the maximum subscription/minimum subscription under the Capital Raising and assuming no Shares are issued to Cuda). If 8,333,333 Shares are issued to Cuda, the total number on issue would increase to between 630,200,400 and 655,200,400); and

  • (b) the relevant interest in the Company of Mark Lapins and his associates would increase to between approximately 32% - 33.3% (based on the maximum subscription/minimum subscription under the Capital Raising and assuming no Shares are issued to Cuda). If 8,333,333 Shares are issued to Cuda, their relevant interest would increase to between approximately 32.9% - 34.2%.

3.11 Changes to Capital

3.12.4 Management Commentary on Historical Results

  • (a) ( Expenditure ): Historical results as outlined in Section 3.12.3 included:

  • (i) Non-recurring financing costs of $1,134,866 (2016), $1,540,856 (2015) and $298,113 (2014);

  • (ii) Exploration expenditure and write offs of $3,691,547 (2016), $221,785 (2015) and $285,190 (2014). As described in (b) below, no further expenditure will be incurred on the Company’s oil and gas interests; and

  • (iii) WHL incurred employee benefit costs of $645,430 (2016), $1,115,081 (2015) and $1,804,449 (2014). WHL currently has no employees and the only employee benefit costs relate to non-executive director fees of $126,000 per annum.

(b)

( Assets ):

The net assets of the WHL have decreased to $1,862,237 at 30 June 2016, mainly attributable to the write-off of all exploration expenses relating to continued operations of $3,691,525 and from discontinued operations of $23,885,029.

  • (i) VIC/P67 (La Bella) Permit (WHL: 100%)

The Commonwealth-Victoria Offshore Petroleum Joint Authority approved an above-commitment variation of the Permit Year 3 work program and a 12 month suspension of the Permit Year 3 work program commitments, with a corresponding 12 month extension of the permit term. As a result, Permit Year 3 will end on 3 August 2016 and the permit term will end on 3 August 2019.

The Company has lodged a further 12 month Suspension and Extension Application for year 3 expenditure with the National Offshore Petroleum Titles Administrator. The application remains under consideration. Due to the uncertainty around retention of the permit WHL made full impairment of the carrying value of this asset, totalling $3,691,525.

WHL has subsequently entered into a conditional Sale and Purchase Deed for the disposal of the Company’s interest in the permit. Refer Section 3.3.

  • (ii) Seychelles – Discontinued operation

On 14 January 2016, in accordance with the provisions of the farmout agreement between Ophir Seychelles (Areas 1, 2 and 3) Limited ( Ophir ), PetroQuest International Incorporated and WHL Energy Limited dated 4 March 2014 ( FOA ), Ophir elected to exercise its exit option thereunder.

In reference to the Deed of Novation, Amendment and Restatement Agreement dated 14 April 2014 between the Government of the Republic of Seychelles (the Government ), PetroSeychelles Limited ( PetroSeychelles ), Petroquest International Incorporated ( PQI ) and Ophir (the Petroleum Agreement ) relating to Blocks 5B/1, 5B/2 and 5B/3 (the Blocks ), Ophir, in accordance

with the terms of the Petroleum Agreement, has elected to exercise its exit option thereunder.

Under the terms of the Petroleum Agreement, the Blocks revert back to the Seychelles Government. PetroSeychelles have formally notified PQI that the Petroleum Agreement dated 14 April 2014 relating to Blocks 5B/1, 5B/2 and 5B/3 is terminated. The associated expenditure has been written off in full, resulting in a loss from discontinued operations of $23,885,029.

(c)

( Liabilities ):

Borrowings totalling $3,680,000 as at 30 June 2014 have been extinguished and the Company now has no encumbrances. Of total borrowings outlined in Section 3.12.2 $2,000,000 was satisfied by the conversion into 2,000,000,000 ordinary fully paid shares in the capital of WHL.

(d) ( Forecast Information ):

WHL’s future financial performance is dependent on a range of factors, many of which are beyond WHL’s control. Accordingly, WHL’s Directors have concluded that forecast financial information would be misleading to provide, as a reasonable basis does not exist for providing forecasts that would be sufficiently meaningful and reliable as required by applicable Australian law, policy and market practice.

Further information is available on WHL’s financial performance from its financial reports. Copies of these reports are available from WHL’s website www.whlenergy.com.

(e) ( Material changes in WHL’s financial net asset position since last published accounts ):

There have been no material changes to WHL’s financial net position other than $200,000 advanced to Quantify pursuant to the convertible loan agreement summarised in Section 9.6.7.

3.13 Corporate Governance

The WHL Board seeks, where appropriate, to provide accountability levels that meet or exceed the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Principles and Recommendations (third edition).

Details on WHL’s corporate governance procedures, policies and practices can be obtained from WHL’s website www.whlenergy.com or from the Prospectus.

3.14 Quantify Board Recommendation

The Quantify Board has welcomed the Takeover Offers and has indicated that, in the absence of a superior proposal and in the absence of a variation or waiver of an Essential Bid Condition, they intend to accept and/or procure the acceptance of the Offer in respect of all of the Quantify Ordinary Shares and Quantify Ordinary Options that they control and will unanimously recommend that Quantify Ordinary Shareholders and Quantify Ordinary Optionholders accept the Takeover Offers.

3.15 Change in Nature and Scale of Company

The completion of the Takeover Offers will result in the Company undergoing a significant change in nature and scale of its activities as contemplated by ASX Listing Rule 11.1, from an oil and gas exploration company to a company engaged in the business of development of Internet of Things technology and consumer products.

Following such a change in nature and scale, the Company’s Shares will only be re-admitted to trading on the ASX if the Company first complies with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 11.1.

To comply with ASX Listing Rule 11.1, the Company must (amongst other things):

  • (a) obtain WHL Shareholder approval for the change in nature and scale resulting from completion of the Takeover Offers;

  • (b) re-comply with the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules as if it were applying for admission to the Official List; and

  • (c) issue a full form prospectus and raise the minimum subscription under that prospectus.

To ensure the Share Takeover Offer only proceeds if the Company’s Shares can be re-admitted to trading on the ASX following completion of the Takeover Offers, the conditions of the Share Takeover Offer include that the Company:

  • (a) obtains WHL Shareholder approval for the change in nature and scale of the Company’s activities and the Consolidation of the Company’s Shares; and

  • (b) raises no less than $3.5 million pursuant to the Prospectus Offer.

The Company has scheduled the WHL Shareholder Meeting for 30 November 2016 to obtain, amongst other things, shareholder approvals for all of the Essential WHL Shareholder Resolutions, being in summary:

  • (a) as the Company is currently an oil and gas exploration company, the Merger with Quantify, if successfully completed, will represent a significant change in the nature and scale of the Company’s operations to the development of Internet of Things technology and consumer products, for which Shareholder approval is required under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2;

  • (b) the Company will need to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules and, to achieve this, must:

  • (i) undertake a consolidation of the Securities on issue on a 1:83 basis ( Consolidation ); and

  • (ii) undertake the Capital Raising by issuing a maximum of 83,333,333 Shares (to raise up to $5 million) at an issue price of $0.06 per Share (on a post Consolidation basis);

  • (c) the creation of a new class of shares, being the WHL Performance Shares, which are being offered as consideration pursuant to the Share Takeover Offer;

41

  • (d) the creation of a new class of shares, being the WHL Founder Performance Shares;

  • (e) the issue of 30,000,000 WHL Founder Performance Shares (on a post Consolidation basis) to the Major Shareholder on completion of the Merger, which are being offered as consideration for the transfer of Quantify Performance Shares from the Major Shareholder to WHL;

  • (f) the adoption of an employee incentive option plan to allow the issue of up to 6,910,543 EOP Options (on a post Consolidation basis) to Quantify EOP Optionholders (or their nominees) on completion of the Merger in consideration for the transfer of up to 6,750,000 Quantify EOP Options to the Company;

  • (g) the adoption of an employee incentive share plan to allow Shares issued to Quantify employees under the Share Takeover Offer in consideration for the acquisition of their Quantify ESS Shares to be subject to materially the same terms and conditions as apply to their Quantify ESS Shares;

  • (h) the issue of up to 11,826,787 Shares (on a post Consolidation basis) to the Quantify Class C Shareholders, which are being offered as consideration for the transfer of their Quantify Shares (Class C) to WHL;

  • (i) the change of the Company’s name to Quantify Technology Holdings Limited on completion of the Merger;

  • (j) the appointment of three directors nominated by Quantify to the Board on completion of the Merger;

  • (k) the issue of up to 10,833,333 Shares (on a post Consolidation basis) to the Quantify Convertible Loan holders on conversion of the Quantify Convertible Loans on completion of the Merger;

  • (l) the adoption of an employee incentive performance rights plan ( Performance Rights Plan ); and

  • (m) the issue of 6,250,000 Performance Rights to Proposed Director Mark Lapins (or his nominee) and 6,250,000 Performance Rights to Proposed Director Aidan Montague (or his nominee) (on a post Consolidation basis) under the Performance Rights Plan,

(the Essential Resolutions ).

All of the resolutions to be considered at the WHL Shareholder Meeting are conditional upon the passing of each of the Essential WHL Shareholder Resolutions, with the exception of Resolutions 1 to 4 of the WHL Shareholder Meeting, which relate to the business required to be considered at WHL’s annual general meeting. If any of the Essential WHL Shareholder Resolutions are not approved, except as previously noted, all of the resolutions to be considered at the WHL Shareholder Meeting will fail and the Takeover Offers (as well as the Prospectus Offer) will not be completed. Further details of the proposed resolutions are contained in the Notice of Meeting issued by WHL on 31 October 2016.

Trading in WHL’s Securities has been suspended following the date of WHL’s announcement of the Merger and will continue to be suspended until WHL satisfies the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 11.1.3.

42

The Company intends to lodge a prospectus for the Prospectus Offer on or about 23 November 2016.

3.16 Capital Raising Shares and Options issue at less than $0.20

The Company has applied to ASX for a waiver from:

  • (a) ASX Listing Rule 2.1 condition 2 to the extent necessary for the issue price of the Shares issued under the Capital Raising not to be at least 20 cents; and

  • (b) ASX Listing Rule 1.1 condition 11 to the extent necessary for the exercise price of the WHL Bid Options, the EOP Options, the Advisor Options and the Broker Options not to be at least 20 cents.

3.17 Admission of Offer Consideration

As set out in Section 3.15, because the Takeover Offers will result in a significant change in nature and scale of WHL’s activities (if successful), WHL’s Shares have been suspended from trading on the ASX following the date of WHL’s announcement of the Merger and will remain suspended until WHL re-complies with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules and receives ASX approval to be readmitted to the ASX.

WHL will lodge an application for admission to Official Quotation of all WHL Shares and WHL Bid Options issued as the Offer Consideration on ASX. Quotation will not be automatic and will depend upon ASX exercising its discretion.

WHL will not apply for quotation of the WHL Performance Shares. However, WHL will apply for the quotation of any WHL Shares issued upon conversion of the WHL Performance Shares.

Upon completion of the Takeover Offers and Prospectus Offer, WHL considers that it will be in a position to satisfy the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules, resulting in its Shares and certain Options (including the WHL Shares and WHL Bid Options issued as Offer Consideration) being re-admitted to trading on the ASX.

As WHL is listed on ASX, WHL’s actions and activities are subject to the ASX Listing Rules.

3.18 Conditions to the Takeover Offers

The defeating conditions to the Takeover Offers are set out in Section 1.8 (with respect to the Share Takeover Offer) and Section 2.8 (with respect to the Option Takeover Offer) of Annexure A to this Bidder’s Statement. In respect of the Conditions, WHL’s intentions as at the date of this Bidder’s Statement are as follows:

  • (a) it does not intend to waive the WHL Shareholder Approval Condition, Minimum Acceptance Condition, Prospectus Offer Condition or Readmission Condition; and

  • (b) it has not formed an opinion as to whether it will waive the remainder of the Conditions.

In order for WHL to waive the WHL Shareholder Approval Condition, Minimum Acceptance Condition, Prospectus Offer Condition or, if applicable, the

43

Readmission Condition, WHL will require the prior written consent of Quantify (provided that WHL may waive the Minimum Acceptance Condition without Quantify’s consent in the event that WHL has received at least 80% acceptances under the Offer).

3.19 Rights and Liabilities of WHL Shares

The WHL Shares offered to Quantify Ordinary Shareholders under the Share Takeover Offer are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of WHL, and from the date of their issue will rank equally with all then existing WHL Shares and will have the same rights and liabilities attaching to them.

The rights and liabilities attaching to WHL Shares are governed by the Constitution of WHL, the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules, ASX Settlement Operating Rules and the general law of Australia.

Under Section 140(1) of the Corporations Act, the Constitution of WHL has effect as a contract between WHL and each member and between a member of WHL and each other member. Accordingly, if you accept the Share Takeover Offer, you will have agreed to accept the WHL Shares to which you are entitled pursuant to your acceptance of the Share Takeover Offer, and as a result, will become liable to comply with the Constitution.

The following is a summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to WHL Shares being offered pursuant to this Bidder’s Statement. This summary is not exhaustive and does not constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of WHL Shareholders. To obtain such a statement, persons should seek independent legal advice.

Further details of the rights and liabilities attaching to WHL Shares are set out in the Constitution, a copy of which is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.

(a) General meetings

WHL Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company.

WHL Shareholders may requisition meetings in accordance with section 249D of the Corporations Act and the Constitution of the Company.

(b) Voting rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, at general meetings of shareholders or classes of shareholders:

  • (i) each Shareholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative;

  • (ii) on a show of hands, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder has one vote; and

  • (iii) on a poll, every person present who is a Shareholder or a proxy, attorney or representative of a Shareholder shall, in respect of each fully paid Share held by him, or in respect of which he is

44

appointed a proxy, attorney or representative, have one vote for each Share held, but in respect of partly paid shares shall have such number of votes as bears the same proportion to the total of such Shares registered in the Shareholder’s name as the amount paid (not credited) bears to the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited).

(c) Dividend rights

Subject to the rights of any preference WHL Shareholders and to the rights of the holders of any shares created or raised under any special arrangement as to dividend, the Directors may from time to time declare a dividend to be paid to the WHL Shareholders entitled to the dividend which shall be payable on all Shares according to the proportion that the amount paid (not credited) is of the total amounts paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) in respect of such Shares.

The Directors may from time to time pay to the WHL Shareholders any interim dividends as they may determine. No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company. The Directors may set aside out of the profits of the Company any amounts that they may determine as reserves, to be applied at the discretion of the Directors, for any purpose for which the profits of the Company may be properly applied.

If and to the extent authorised by resolution of the Company in general meeting, the Directors may establish a plan under which WHL Shareholders may elect to reinvest cash dividends paid by the Company by subscribing for Shares.

(d) Winding-up

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, divide among the WHL Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose determine how the division is to be carried out as between the WHL Shareholders or different classes of WHL Shareholders, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability..

The liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, vest the whole or any part of any such property in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator thinks fit.

(e) Shareholder liability

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

(f) Transfer of shares

Generally, shares in the Company are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia and the transfer not being in breach of the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules.

45

(g) Future increase in capital

The issue of any new Shares is under the control of the Directors of the Company. Subject to restrictions on the issue or grant of Securities contained in the ASX Listing Rules, the Constitution and the Corporations Act (and without affecting any special right previously conferred on the holder of an existing share or class of shares), the Directors may issue Shares as they shall, in their absolute discretion, determine.

(h) Variation of rights

Under section 246B of the Corporations Act, the Company may, with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a meeting of WHL Shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to shares.

If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not the Company is being wound up, may be varied or abrogated by special resolution of the Company and either the consent in writing of the holders of three quarters of the issued shares of that class, or if authorised by a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

(i) Alteration of constitution

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least three quarters of WHL Shareholders present and voting at the general meeting. In addition, at least 28 days written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution must be given.

3.20 WHL Performance Shares

The WHL Performance Shares offered to Quantify Ordinary Shareholders under the Share Takeover Offer will be issued at the same time as the WHL Shares. The term and conditions of the WHL Performance Shares are set out below:

Rights attaching to the WHL Performance Shares

Holders have the right to attend general meetings of Shareholders of the Company.

  • (b) ( No voting rights ) The WHL Performance Shares do not entitle the Holder to vote on any resolutions proposed at a general meeting of Shareholders of the Company, subject to any voting rights under the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules where such rights cannot be excluded by these terms.

  • (c) ( No dividend rights ) The WHL Performance Shares do not entitle the Holder to any dividends.

  • (d) ( No rights to return of capital ) The WHL Performance Shares do not entitle the Holder to a return of capital, whether in a winding up, upon a reduction of capital or otherwise.

46

  • (e) ( Rights on winding up ) Upon the winding up of the Company, the WHL Performance Shares may not participate in the surplus profits or assets of the Company.

  • (f) ( Transfer of WHL Performance Shares ) The WHL Performance Shares are not transferable.

  • (g) ( Reorganisation of capital ) In the event that issued capital of the Company is reconstructed, all rights of a Holder will be changed to the extent necessary to comply with the ASX Listing Rules at the time of reorganisation.

  • (h) ( No quotation ) The WHL Performance Shares will not be quoted on ASX. However if the Company is listed on the ASX, at the time of conversion of the WHL Performance Shares into Shares in accordance with these terms, the Company will within seven (7) days after the later of conversion and any escrow period ending, apply for the official quotation of the Shares arising from the conversion on ASX.

  • (i) ( Participation in entitlements and bonus issues ) Holders of WHL Performance Shares will not be entitled (in their capacity as a Holder of a Performance Share) to participate in new issues of capital offered to holders of the Shares such as bonus issues and entitlement issues.

  • (j) ( No other rights ) The WHL Performance Shares give the Holders no rights other than those expressly provided by these terms and those provided at law where such rights at law cannot be excluded by these terms.

Conversion of the WHL Performance Shares – performance hurdles

Each WHL Performance Share in the relevant Tranche will convert into one (1) Share in the Company upon achievement of the following performance hurdles ( Milestones ):

  • (a) Tranche A : one-quarter of the WHL Performance Shares initially issued to a Holder will be convertible into Shares upon:

  • (i) certification by a recognised and accredited Australian testing facility (such as TUV Rheinland Australia) of Quantify’s retrofittable wall switch and power outlet known as the "Retrofit Switch" which is, as a minimum, able to switch 220-230V AC Power where such certification is:

    • (A) for installation in an applicable Australian Standards based wall box powered by the wiring in place; and

    • (B) to CISPR15 Standards; and

  • (ii) Quantify receiving Committed Orders for $3 million within 18 months of the Quotation Date;

  • (b) Tranche B: one-quarter of the WHL Performance Shares initially issued to a Holder will be convertible into Shares upon:

  • (i) certification by a recognised and accredited Australian testing facility, (such as TUV Rheinland Australia) for the wireless communication module installed in Quantify’s retrofittable wall switch and power outlet known as the "Wireless Card", which

47

wireless module is capable of providing wireless communication based on the 802.11 wireless standard or the 802.15 Zigbee Standard, where such certification is to AS/NZS4268 Standards, and

  • (ii) Quantify receiving Committed Orders for $5 million (in total) within 30 months of the Quotation Date;

  • (c) Tranche C: one-quarter of the WHL Performance Shares initially issued to a Holder will be convertible into Shares upon Quantify receiving Committed Orders for $10 million (in total) within 42 months of the Quotation Date, at which time the resulting Shares will be placed in voluntary escrow with release from escrow pro rata for every $1 million of revenue received in respect of the first $5 million of Committed Orders received; and

  • (d) Tranche D: one-quarter of the WHL Performance Shares initially issued to a Holder will be convertible into Shares upon Quantify receiving Committed Orders for $15 million (in total) within 54 months of the Quotation Date at which time the resulting Shares must be placed in voluntary escrow with release from escrow pro rata for every $1 million of revenue received in respect of the first $10 million of Committed Orders received.

Conversion – other matters

  • (a) ( Redemption ) WHL Performance Shares in a particular tranche will be redeemed for 0.00001 cents per WHL Performance Share if the performance hurdle for that tranche is not met, or not met by any relevant date for satisfaction of that performance hurdle. WHL Performance Shares will not be redeemed if a failure to meet the relevant performance hurdle was only due to a shortfall of Committed Orders, and the level of Committed Orders in respect of Tranche D was subsequently satisfied by the time specified in Tranche D. If the performance hurdle regarding Committed Orders is satisfied in respect of Tranche D, all earlier WHL Performance Shares which failed to convert because of a shortfall of Committed Orders will be convertible into Shares (subject in the case of Tranche C to escrow requirements), regardless as to whether the earlier performance hurdle regarding Committed Orders was satisfied. Failure to satisfy the performance hurdle in respect of one tranche of WHL Performance Shares does not prejudice subsequent conversion of other tranches.

  • (b) ( Cancellation ) The Company and the Holder will take such steps as are necessary to cancel any Shares that are still the subject of voluntary escrow 6 years after the Quotation Date.

  • (c) ( Takeover Provisions ) If the conversion of WHL Performance Shares would result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1) of the Corporations Act, then the conversion of each WHL Performance Share that would cause the contravention shall be deferred until such time or times thereafter that the conversion would not result in a contravention of section 606(1).

  • (d) ( Notice by Performance Shareholders ) Holders of WHL Performance Shares must give notification to the Company in writing if they consider that the conversion of WHL Performance Shares may result in the contravention of section 606(1), failing which the Company shall assume

48

that the conversion of WHL Performance Shares will not result in any person being in contravention of section 606(1).

  • (e) ( After conversion ) The Shares issued on conversion of the WHL Performance Shares will, as and from 5.00 pm (WST) on the date of allotment, rank equally with and confer rights identical with all other Shares then on issue and application will be made by the Company to ASX for official quotation of the Shares issued upon conversion.

  • (f) ( Conversion procedure ) The Company will issue the Holder with a new holding statement for the Shares as soon as practicable following the conversion of the WHL Performance Shares into the Shares.

  • (g) ( Ranking of Shares ) The Shares into which the WHL Performance Shares will convert will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares on issue at the date of conversion.

3.21 Terms and Conditions of WHL Bid Options

  • (g) Within 10 Business Days of receipt of the Exercise Notice accompanied by the Exercise Price, the Company will allot the number of Shares required under these terms and conditions in respect of the number of WHL Bid Options specified in the Exercise Notice.

49

  • (h) The WHL Bid Options are transferable subject to any restriction or escrow arrangements imposed by ASX or under applicable Australian securities laws.

  • (i) All Shares allotted upon the exercise of WHL Bid Options will upon allotment rank pari passu in all respects with other Shares.

4.1 Disclaimer

This overview of Quantify and all financial information concerning Quantify contained in this Bidder’s Statement has been prepared by the Company using information provided to the Company by Quantify, as well as publicly available information.

The information in this Bidder’s Statement concerning Quantify has not been independently verified. The Company does not, subject to any applicable laws, make any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of this information. The information on Quantify is not considered to be comprehensive.

Quantify Ordinary Shareholders and Quantify Ordinary Optionholders should not rely on the information contained in the Bidder’s Statement as a true and correct summary of Quantify or the Quantify Business.

4.2 Overview of Quantify

Quantify was incorporated on 17 September 2012 as an Australian proprietary limited company.

In February 2015, Quantify acquired certain intellectual property rights from Mr Mark Lapins (the current Managing Director of Quantify) and Cuda, a company associated with Mark Lapins, and commenced its current business.

In the four years prior to Quantify acquiring this intellectual property, Mark Lapins, Lapins Holdings and Cuda incurred expenses developing the hardware and software that has resulted in the Q Device, and associated intellectual property, as detailed in Section 3.10. During this period these development efforts did not constitute carrying on a business.

Quantify currently owns various intellectual property as summarised in Annexure

C ( Quantify Intellectual Property ).

Quantify is a first mover in the Internet of Things ( IoT ) market, with a focus on intelligent building technology. It is primarily a developer of hardware and software devices that enable the monitoring and management of the next generation of internet enabled devices (such as lighting, power, heating and cooling systems) installed in buildings (the Quantify Business ).

Quantify’s patented flagship product, the Q Device, provides real-time evaluation of environmental and risk factors for building occupants, as well as proactively managing services and utilities to ensure the highest levels of efficiency are achieved – for example, maximum energy efficiency - to create truly intelligent buildings.

Quantify’s products are designed to be retrofittable, cost effective, simple, scalable, extensible, autonomous and secure, and aim to allow IoT solutions to become part of the fabric of buildings - redefining the industry standard with a view to making Quantify’s solution the platform of choice.

Quantify converted to an unlisted Australian public company on 25 May 2016.

4.3 Quantify Board of Directors

As at the date of this Bidder’s Statement, the directors of Quantify are:

  • (a) Mr Mark Lapins – Managing Director;

  • (b) Mr Aidan Montague – Executive Chairman; and

  • (c) Mr Alex Paior– Executive Director (operations).

Messrs Mark Lapins and Aiden Montague will each become a director of WHL on successful completion of the Takeover Offers. Further details in respect of the Proposed Directors are set out in Section 3.5.

4.4 Overview of the Quantify Business

(a) The Q Device

The Q Device consists of hardware and software that provide a modular hardware architecture for Internet Protocol (IP) network connected AC end points. This creates an innovative and intelligent IoT solution addressing a growing global requirement for energy consumption, management and a distribution platform for advanced IoT applications.

It is able to efficiently monitor, manipulate and manage the power network of a building to enable seamless, effective and efficient power network monitoring, usage analysis, policy management and power manipulation on an electrical device/ power outlet level basis. Its connected IoT architecture allows the creation, distribution, application and enforcement of AC power policy from a central management platform.

The Q Device replaces light switches/dimmers and power outlets with intelligent devices to provide consumers with the power to control and manage power consumption in a building, at a device and circuit level. Power management is the first feature set of the Q Device and empowers users to potentially make savings in power and money by managing power consumption and limiting power wastage.

The technology incorporates “over the air” firmware update and upgrade capabilities, so that AC modules should not require replacement subsequent to their installation for the foreseeable future while consumers continue to rely on AC power. The end-user application is planned to be run from users’ Android or iOS devices such as smart phones and tablets for the domestic consumer market and from onpremises control devices for enterprise installations.

Each of the Q Devices within a building are able to communicate with each other via a range of wireless communications protocols and have the capability to communicate consumption data with a secure cloud database. Diverse wireless communication protocols allow flexibility and consumer choice.

Quantify’s platform development model aims to avoid dependence on any one operating system or device and is designed to be modular and replaceable, so that where technology changes are required or mandated, the Quantify platform can be rapidly adapted.

The three modules of the Q Device are:

  • (i) the user replaceable fascia, which allows upgrades and additional features - available in any size, shape, colour, form and function including distribution of IoT sensing applications, audio, video and other technologies over time;

  • (ii) the user replaceable feature card, which is the primary wireless communication device connection and allows local application processing power and other features such as additional memory or processing capabilities as required to support local autonomous device functionality; and

  • (iii) the fixed AC module (to be installed in the wall by a licensed electrician where required by local laws), which controls, manages and reports on AC power usage on a per channel (device/circuit) basis.

The Q Device shown on the left below will be used in place of traditional light switches. The Q Device on the right will be used in place of traditional general power outlets.

(b) Competitive Advantages

Quantify believes that its Q Device has a number of advantages over competitor products:

  • (i) It is easily and inexpensively retrofittable : It can be installed in almost any building without additional network cabling or changes to the existing power cable plant and can be retrofitted onto the two most common devices found in almost every room in almost every household worldwide: light switches and power outlets. Existing solutions are very expensive to retrofit, requiring large costs in rewiring, network cabling and infrastructure changes.

  • (ii) Modular design : The modular design means that, subsequent to the initial installation by an electrician, all upgrades of form, features and functions are relatively inexpensive feature card and fascia upgrades that can be completed by the user. This also addresses the major issue facing technology companies - mitigating technological obsolescence. Quantify is confident that the AC module will not need to be changed in the foreseeable future while populations are dependent on AC power.

  • (iii) Patented, modern technology : Quantify has patents in Australia and Singapore and has patent applications pending in another 23 countries and an application with the European Patent Office under the European Patent Convention which, if successful, provides protection in up to an additional 38 countries. By comparison, competitors predominantly use outdated technology bundled together with newer technologies in an inefficient and expensive manner to deliver only limited functionality and energy savings. Competitors in this space almost always introduce a single point of failure in their solutions which renders the installation ineffective if this single device fails. Furthermore, most solutions don’t have the capacity to scale economically for large scale installations.

(c) Business Model

Quantify is currently increasing its sales and marketing efforts with a view to deriving revenue from the following revenue streams:

  • (i) the sale of products both direct to consumers and through channel partners, commencing with the Q Device;

  • (ii) ongoing subscription revenue from consumers for use of the Quantify’s advanced features available in its planned advanced application and future retirement living platform, which will leverage the existing Q Device technology with additional sensors and features in the fascia and more advanced software;

  • (iii) training and certification program revenues;

55

  • (iv) ongoing fascia and feature card replacement/ upgrades by existing users; and

  • (v) potential sale and/or interpretation of big data[3]

(d)

Commercialisation Strategy

Quantify has a staged commercialisation strategy targeting four distinct markets, which the company aims to target in the following priority. Each of the markets are natural progressions of the Q devices development:

  • (i) energy management : the company’s first feature set offering potential savings to consumers in the form of power savings and delivering the required wall mounted autonomous computer power required for future product and solution delivery;

  • (ii) behavioural and environmental sensor networks : this builds on the energy management platform by adding sensors and features with improved software analytics via interchangeable components, key to Quantify’s modular design;

  • (iii) retirement living market : this uses the additional sensors, features and improved software with further developed algorithms and functionality to aid retirees living at home and in facilities by providing risk assessment, lifestyle reporting and other assistive living functionality; and

  • (iv) the Truly Intelligent Buildings market : this uses additional and ongoing upgrades of user features and functions to deliver a flexible, upgradable, autonomously intelligent building.

(e)

Commercialisation Status

The user interchangeable fascias and user interchangeable feature card for the Q Device have been tooled and are ready for mass production, subject to final compliance and certification.

With respect to the two mechanical formats of AC module:

  • (i) the format that replaces traditional light switches has been tooled and is ready for mass production, subject to final compliance and certification; and

  • (ii) the format that replaces traditional general power outlets is undergoing pre-production testing and is expected to be released to production first quarter calendar 2017.

Quantify is currently manufacturing small runs of the Q Device for testing, demonstration and pilot installations from its production tooling, with

hardware currently undergoing embedded software and hardware testing.

The Q Device is currently undergoing assessment by a contracted specialist electronic engineering firm against the Australian certifications required for sale.

Quantify aims to have the AC modules certified to the AS/NZS CISPR15 standard, which is the Australian and New Zealand standard for “Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics of electrical lighting and similar equipment”, in the first quarter of calendar year 2017.

Quantify has entered discussions with a tier 1, large volume overseas manufacturer, with a view to manufacturing Quantify’s Q Device in high volumes once Quantify has built a sufficient sales pipeline to warrant such high-volume manufacture.

While Quantify’s Q Device is expected to be completed in the first quarter calendar 2017, with Quantify able to deliver product in the near term for sale, Quantify’s strategy is to build sales pipeline to enable high-volume, cost efficient manufacture to maximise profitability (ie the starting point is to sell to customers who will order large volumes of product).

Quantify is in the process of aggressively accelerating its sales effort to build a sales pipeline focusing on the sale of its products and software into new construction, iconic commercial and enterprise projects with delivery of the Q Device to these projects aiming for the second half of 2017.

Quantify is also in discussions with parties looking to form strategic partnerships with systems integrators and channels to the Australian domestic consumer market. Research and development ( R&D ) work is ongoing and will continue in line with the company’s commercialisation strategy. Further planned complementary products in the Quantify product range, with the potential to generate additional revenue, are currently undergoing R&D. Ongoing R&D is important and potentially valuable to the company, and, owing to the modular, upgradable design of the Q Device, future evolutions of the product are more easily achievable than if the company were producing single function, point solutions.

5. MERGED GROUP

5.1 Approach

This Section 5 provides an overview of the Company and its subsidiaries following the acquisition by the Company of all, or a portion of the Quantify Ordinary Shares on issue ( Merged Group ), in the various scenarios following the Takeover Offers and the effect of the Takeover Offers on the Company and Quantify.

5.2 Disclaimer Regarding Quantify and the Merged Group Information

In preparing the information relating to Quantify and the Merged Group contained in this Bidder’s Statement, the Company has relied on publicly available information relating to Quantify and this has not been independently verified by the Company or its Directors. Risks may exist in relation to Quantify (which may affect the Merged Group) of which the Company is unaware. If any material risks are known to the directors of Quantify, they must be disclosed in the Target’s Statement to be issued by Quantify.

Accordingly, subject to any applicable laws, the Company makes no representations or warranties (express or implied) as to the accuracy and completeness of such information.

Quantify Ordinary Shareholders and Quantify Ordinary Optionholders should not rely on the information contained in the Bidder’s Statement as a true and correct summary of Quantify or the Quantify Business. The WHL Board recommends that Quantify Ordinary Shareholders and Quantify Ordinary Optionholders refer to the Target’s Statement for information on Quantify and its business operations.

5.3 Profile of the Merged Group

If the Takeover Offers are successful, Quantify Ordinary Shareholders will each receive 1.0189 WHL Shares and 0.4891 WHL Performance Shares for every 1 Quantify Ordinary Share held by them while Quantify Ordinary Optionholders will each receive 1.0238 WHL Bid Options for every 1 Quantify Ordinary Option held by them.

After the Takeover Offers, if WHL becomes entitled to compulsorily acquire outstanding Quantify Securities in accordance with Part 6A.1 of the Corporations Act, it intends to proceed with the compulsory acquisition of those securities and all of WHL’s security holders (including Quantify Securityholders who have received WHL securities pursuant to the Takeover Offers) will be security holders in the Merged Group.

5.4 Effect of Completion of the Takeover Offers

Following the Takeover Offers being successful, WHL will shift its focus from its oil and gas exploration to commercialising the Quantify Business.

The Merged Group will consider how its existing oil and gas interests will be dealt with at a future time to be determined by the new Board, with the Merged Group’s preference likely to be to divest to third parties.

The Merged Group will also consider whether WHL’s existing subsidiaries will be wound up or retained after completion of the Takeover Offers.

The Merged Group will have a stronger financial position as detailed in Section 5.11.

62

5.6 Effect of the Takeover Offers on the Company’s Capital Structure

The effect of the Takeover Offers on the Company’s capital structure is set out in Section 3.11.

5.7 Adoption of employee incentive plans

If the Takeover Offers are successful, WHL plans to adopt and implement a number of employee incentive plans on terms that mirror (where possible) the existing Quantify employee incentive plans.

These plans include an employee option plan with terms and conditions summarised in Schedule 4 of the Notice of Meeting ( WHL EOP ) and an employee share plan with terms and conditions summarised in Schedule 5 of the Notice of Meeting ( WHL ESS ).

WHL also intends to adopt a performance rights plan with terms and conditions summarised in Schedule 6 of the Notice of Meeting.

5.8 Corporate Structure of the Merged Group

If the Takeover Offers are successful and the Company acquires all Quantify Ordinary Shares and Quantify Ordinary Options on issue, the corporate structure of the Merged Group will be as shown in the following diagram:

==> picture [365 x 129] intentionally omitted <==

5.9 Basis for preparation of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position has been prepared in connection with the proposed acquisition of Quantify by WHL ( Proposed Transaction ). The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and gives effect to the Proposed Transaction pursuant to the assumptions described in Section 5.12. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016 gives effect to the Proposed Transaction as if it had occurred as at 30 June 2016.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position is not necessarily indicative of the financial position that would have been achieved if the transaction had been completed on the dates or for the periods presented, nor do they purport to project the results of operations or the financial position of the consolidated entities for any future period or as of any future date. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position does not reflect any special items such as integration costs or operating synergies that may be incurred or achieved as a result of the acquisition.

63

The pro forma adjustments and allocations of the purchase price for the proposed acquisition of Quantify is based on a preliminary determination that the Proposed Transaction represents a reverse acquisition whereby Quantify is the acquirer and WHL is the acquiree for financial accounting and reporting purposes. The acquisition accounting will be completed after the transaction is complete.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of the International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ).

In preparing the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position in accordance with IFRS, the following historical information was used:

  • (a) the unaudited consolidated management accounts of WHL as at and for the 3 months ended 30 September 2016; and

  • (b) the unaudited consolidated management accounts at Quantify as of and for the 3 months ended 30 September 2016.

In preparing the pro forma consolidated statement of financial position no alignment has been made between the accounting policies of Quantify and WHL.

5.10 Acquisition of Quantify by WHL

As announced to the market on 12 September 2016, the Company entered into the MIA with Quantify with a view to acquiring 100% of the share capital of Quantify by way of an off market takeover bid.

Under the Share Takeover Offer, accepting Quantify Ordinary Shareholders will receive 1.0189 WHL Shares and 0.4891 WHL Performance Shares for every 1 Quantify Ordinary Share held, implying a theoretical value of $0.06 per Quantify Ordinary Share based on the offer price under the Prospectus Offer of $0.06 per WHL Share. The implied theoretical value will be the same, pre and postConsolidation of the WHL securities.

Under the Option Takeover Offer, accepting Quantify Ordinary Optionholders will receive 1.0238 WHL Bid Options for every 1 Quantify Ordinary Option held.

For the purpose of determining the reverse acquisition accounting, we have assumed 250,000,000 WHL Shares will be issued to Quantify Ordinary Shareholders. The purchase consideration for the proposed reverse acquisition of Quantify will be measured as the fair value of the notional number of shares Quantify would have to issue if Quantify was to provide WHL’s shareholders with the same ownership interest they will hold as a result of the Takeover Offer.

The amount by which the deemed notional consideration exceeds the fair value of the assets and liabilities of WHL will be recognised as a ‘listing fee’ in the statement of comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements of the Merged Group post completion of the Takeover Offer. The acquisition of Quantify, if completed, will be accounted for as a reverse asset acquisition with Quantify as the accounting acquirer of WHL.

5.13 Outlook for the Merged Group

This Bidder’s Statement does not include any financial forecasts or projections for revenue or profit in relation to the Company, Quantify or the Merged Group.

The Company has given careful consideration as to whether there is a reasonable basis to produce reliable and meaningful forecast financial information for the Merged Group. However, the WHL Directors have concluded that as at the date of this Bidder's Statement, it would be misleading to provide forecast financial information for the Merged Group.

68

6. INTENTIONS OF WHL

6.1 Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Bidder’s Statement includes forward-looking statements that have been based on the Company’s current expectations and predictions about future events including the Company’s intentions (which include those set out in this Section 6). These forward-looking statements are, however, subject to inherent risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results, performance or achievements of WHL, Quantify and the Merged Group to differ materially from the expectations and predictions, express or implied, in such forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things, those risks identified in this Bidder’s Statement (including those set out in Section 8).

None of WHL, its officers, the persons named in this Bidder’s Statement with their consent or the persons involved in the preparation of this Bidder’s Statement makes any representation or warranty (express or implied) as to the accuracy or likelihood of any forward looking statements. You are cautioned not to place reliance on these statements in the event that the outcome is not achieved. These statements reflect views and opinions as at the date of this Bidder’s Statement.

6.2 WHL’s Intentions Regarding Quantify

(a) Overview

Subject to the below, it is the present intention of WHL, on the basis of the information concerning Quantify which is known to WHL and the existing circumstances affecting the business of Quantify, that:

  • (i) the business of Quantify will otherwise be continued in substantially the same manner as it is presently being conducted;

  • (ii) no other major changes will be made to the business of Quantify; (iii) there will not be any redeployment of the fixed assets of Quantify; and

  • (iv) the present employees of Quantify will otherwise continue to be employed by Quantify.

The current intentions of WHL may change in light of material facts and circumstances at the relevant time.

(b) Intentions Upon Acquisition of 90% or More of Quantify

If as a result of the Share Takeover Offer, WHL becomes entitled to compulsorily acquire outstanding Quantify Ordinary Shares in accordance with Part 6A.1 of the Corporations Act, it intends to proceed with the compulsory acquisition of those Quantify Ordinary Shares.

The Company then intends to undertake the steps outlined in 6.2(a) above.

WHL reserves its right, with Quantify’s consent (if required), to declare the Share Takeover Offer free from the Minimum Acceptance Condition (or any other Condition) to the Share Takeover Offer.

69

(c) Intentions Upon Gaining Control (more than 50%) but Less Than 90% of Quantify

Under the MIA, WHL has the right to waive the Minimum Acceptance Condition (without Quantify’s consent) in the event that it has received acceptance in respect of 80% of the Quantify Ordinary Shares on issue.

WHL reserves its right, with Quantify’s consent, to declare the Share Takeover Offer free from the Minimum Acceptance Condition (or any other Condition) to the Share Takeover Offer. However, WHL has not decided at this stage whether it will free the Share Takeover Offer from the 90% minimum acceptance Condition (or any other Condition).

In the event that WHL acquires at least 80% of the voting shares in Quantify, full or partial CGT rollover relief may be available to certain Australian domiciled accepting Quantify Ordinary Shareholders and Quantify Ordinary Optionholders. The effect of the rollover relief is that part or all of the Quantify Ordinary Shareholder's and Quantify Ordinary Optionholder’s total capital gain will be deferred until the WHL Shares or WHL Bid Options are disposed of.

If, WHL does declare the Takeover Offers unconditional and following the close of the Takeover Offers, Quantify becomes a controlled entity but not a wholly owned subsidiary of WHL, WHL presently intends, subject to the following, and to the extent possible, and appropriate, to implement the objectives and goals mentioned in 6.2(a).

The extent to which WHL will be able to implement these intentions will be subject to:

  • (i) the law and the ASX Listing Rules, in particular in relation to related party transactions and conflicts of interest; and

  • (ii) the legal obligation of the directors of Quantify to act for proper purposes and in the best interests of Quantify Ordinary Shareholders as a whole.

Having regard to this and in particular the possible requirements of minority shareholder approval, it is possible that WHL may not be able to implement some of these intentions.

(d) Intentions if WHL does not Acquire Effective Control of Quantify (50% or less)

WHL reserves its right, with Quantify’s consent, to declare the Share Takeover Offer free from the Minimum Acceptance Condition (or any other Condition) to the Share Takeover Offer. However, WHL has not decided at this stage whether it will free the Share Takeover Offer from the 90% minimum acceptance Condition (or any other Condition).

If WHL does declare the Takeover Offers unconditional, WHL presently intends, subject to the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, to implement, as far as possible given its position as a non-controlling shareholder of Quantify, the objectives and goals outlined in 6.2(a) above.

7. AUSTRALIAN TAX CONSIDERATIONS

7.1 Overview

The following summary is a general description of the Australian income tax and CGT consequences for Quantify Ordinary Shareholders and Quantify Ordinary Optionholders who accept a Takeover Offer and dispose of their Quantify Ordinary Shares and/or Quantify Ordinary Options to WHL in accordance with a Takeover Offer. Quantify Ordinary Shareholders and Quantify Ordinary Optionholders should not rely on the below summary as tax advice applicable to their circumstances and should seek independent taxation advice regarding the tax consequences of disposing of Quantify Ordinary Shares and/or Quantify Ordinary Options given the particular circumstances which apply to them.

The summary is based on taxation law and practice in effect at the date of this Bidder’s Statement. It is not intended to be an authoritative or comprehensive analysis of the taxation laws of Australia, nor does it consider any specific facts or circumstances that may apply to particular Quantify Ordinary Shareholders or Quantify Ordinary Optionholders. Further, it does not deal with the taxation consequences of disposing of Quantify Ordinary Shares or Quantify Ordinary Options which may have been issued under an employee share/option scheme, which may be subject to specific tax provisions.

The Australian tax consequences for Quantify Ordinary Shareholders and Quantify Ordinary Optionholders of disposing of their Quantify Ordinary Shares and/or Quantify Ordinary Options will depend on a number of factors including:

  • (a) whether they are an Australian resident or non-resident for tax purposes;

  • (b) whether they hold their Quantify Ordinary Shares and/or Quantify Ordinary Options on capital, revenue account or as trading stock;

  • (c) when they acquired their Quantify Ordinary Shares and/or Quantify Ordinary Options;

  • (d) whether they are an individual, a company or a trustee of a complying superannuation entity; and

  • (e) whether scrip for scrip rollover relief is available – see Section 7.3 below.

Given the complexity of the taxation legislation, the WHL Board reiterates that Quantify Ordinary Shareholders and Quantify Ordinary Optionholders should seek independent taxation advice regarding the tax consequences of accepting a Takeover Offer.

7.2 Taxation Consequences for Quantify Ordinary Shareholders

  • (a) Resident shareholders holding Quantify Ordinary Shares as trading stock

  • Quantify Ordinary Shareholders who hold their Quantify Ordinary Shares as trading stock (e.g. as a share trader) will be required to include the value of the consideration from the disposal of their Quantify Ordinary Shares in their assessable income.

71

(b) Resident shareholders holding Quantify Ordinary Shares on Revenue Account

The Australian tax consequences for Quantify Ordinary Shareholders who hold their Quantify Ordinary Shares on revenue account and who accept the Share Takeover Offer will be able to include the amount received (the market value of the WHL Shares) over the cost of acquisition of the Quantify Ordinary Shares as ordinary assessable income. Where the market value of WHL Shares is less than the cost of Quantify Ordinary Shares the loss may be claimed as a tax deduction.

(c) Non-resident Quantify Ordinary Shareholders holding Quantify Ordinary Shares as trading stock or on revenue account

Quantify Ordinary Shareholders who are non-residents of Australia and whose Quantify Ordinary Shares were acquired as trading stock or otherwise on revenue account, should seek their own professional advice. The Australian tax treatment will depend on the source of any gain and whether a double taxation agreement exists between their country of residence and Australia.

(d) Quantify Ordinary Shareholders holding Quantify Ordinary Shares on Capital Account

In broad terms, the Australian tax consequences for Quantify Ordinary Shareholders who hold their Quantify Ordinary Shares on capital account and who accept the Share Takeover Offer will depend on whether or not 'scrip for scrip' capital gains tax rollover relief is available and, if available, is elected. The following discussion considers the general Australian tax consequences for Quantify Ordinary Shareholders where:

  • (i) rollover relief is not available or is not elected; and

  • (ii) rollover relief is available and is elected.

7.3 Acceptance of a Takeover Offer where Rollover Relief is Available and is Elected

Australian-resident Quantify Ordinary Shareholders may be entitled to 'scrip for scrip' CGT rollover relief in respect of the consideration referable to WHL Shares where the exchange of the shares would otherwise realise an assessable capital gain. Broadly speaking, rollover relief is available to Quantify Ordinary Shareholders who exchange shares in one company for shares in another company where the transaction is made pursuant to a takeover bid and provided certain qualifying conditions are satisfied.

In broad terms, these qualifying conditions include the requirement that WHL must make an offer to all shareholders in Quantify to acquire their voting shares on substantially the same terms and WHL must become the owner of at least 80% of the voting shares in Quantify on issue as at the close of the Offer Period as a consequence of the Share Takeover Offer.

If the qualifying conditions are satisfied and a Quantify Ordinary Shareholder elects for rollover relief to apply, the rollover relief is available.

The effect of the rollover relief is that the Quantify Ordinary Shareholder's total capital gain will be deferred until the WHL Shares are disposed of.

72

The CGT cost base of the new WHL Shares acquired in the exchange is determined by reasonably attributing to it the CGT cost base of the Quantify Ordinary Shares for which a rollover was obtained. Further, the Quantify Ordinary Shareholders will be taken to acquire their WHL Shares at the time they originally acquired their Quantify Ordinary Shares (for the purpose of determining any entitlement to a discount on an otherwise assessable capital gain in relation to a subsequent dealing in their new WHL Shares).

As discussed above, rollover relief will only be available if the qualifying conditions are satisfied and Quantify Ordinary Shareholders elect to apply for it. Further, rollover relief is not available if Quantify Ordinary Shareholders realise a capital loss on the disposal of their Quantify Ordinary Shares.

Scrip for scrip rollover relief does not apply automatically and must be elected. The election to utilise scrip for scrip rollover relief is evidenced by the manner in which the tax return for the relevant income year is prepared although it may be prudent to keep a written record of that election with your tax records.

Given the complexity of the provisions governing rollover relief and the various qualifying conditions that need to be satisfied, Quantify Ordinary Shareholders should seek independent taxation advice regarding their particular circumstances.

Non-resident Quantify Ordinary Shareholders may only obtain rollover relief in very limited circumstances. It is imperative that non-residents seek independent tax advice to confirm their Australian tax position.

7.4 Acceptance of the Share Takeover Offer where Rollover Relief is Not Available or is Not Elected

Acceptance of the Share Takeover Offer is likely to involve a disposal by a Quantify Ordinary Shareholder of its Quantify Ordinary Shares for CGT purposes.

An Australian-resident Quantify Ordinary Shareholder may make a capital gain or capital loss, depending on whether the capital proceeds from the exchange are more than the cost base of its Quantify Ordinary Shares, or whether those capital proceeds are less than the cost base of those Quantify Ordinary Shares.

Quantify Ordinary Shareholders who are not resident in Australia for tax purposes will generally be subject to Australian CGT on the disposal of Quantify Ordinary Shares if:

  • (a) together with their Associates, they directly or indirectly own at least 10% or more (by value) of the shares in Quantify:

  • (i) at the time of the sale; or

  • (ii) throughout a 12 month period beginning no earlier than 24 months before the time of the sale and ending no later than the time of the sale; and

  • (b) if more than 50% of the value of Quantify’s assets is attributable to Australian real property,

subject to the terms of any applicable double taxation agreement. It is imperative that non-residents independently confirm their Australian tax position.

73

The capital proceeds that a Quantify Ordinary Shareholder will be taken to have received in respect of the disposal of their Quantify Ordinary Shares will generally be the market value of WHL Shares on the date of implementation of the Takeover Offers.

The cost base of Quantify Ordinary Shares will generally be the cost at which they were acquired including any incidental costs of acquisition.

Where the amount of capital proceeds received by a Quantify Ordinary Shareholder in respect of the disposal of their Quantify Ordinary Shares is greater than the cost base of those Quantify Ordinary Shares, then the Quantify Ordinary Shareholder should realise a capital gain for Australian CGT purposes.

Where the amount of capital proceeds received by a Quantify Ordinary Shareholder in respect of the disposal of its Quantify Ordinary Shares is less than the reduced cost base of those Quantify Ordinary Shares, then the Quantify Ordinary Shareholder should realise a capital loss for Australian CGT purposes. Where it is expected that a capital gain will result, if a Quantify Ordinary Shareholder does not elect for rollover relief, or that relief is not available, then partial tax relief may be available in the form of the CGT discount.

Specifically, where Quantify Ordinary Shares have been held for at least 12 months before their disposal, a Quantify Ordinary Shareholder who is an individual, a complying superannuation entity or the trustee of a trust should be able to reduce the capital gain arising from the disposal of Quantify Ordinary Shares by the CGT discount (see below).

The CGT discount will be available if the relevant Quantify Ordinary Shares have been held for at least 12 months.

Subject to the Quantify Ordinary Shareholder having any capital losses or net capital losses from previous income years, where the CGT discount is available, eligible Quantify Ordinary Shareholders which are individuals or trustees of trusts will reduce the capital gain arising on the disposal of Quantify Ordinary Shares by one-half. For individuals, this reduced gain should be assessed at the Quantify Ordinary Shareholder's marginal tax rate. Trustees should seek specific advice regarding the tax consequences of distributions attributable to discounted capital gains.

Subject to the Quantify Ordinary Shareholder having any capital losses or net capital losses from previous income years, where Quantify Ordinary Shares are held by a complying superannuation entity and the CGT discount is available, the discount will reduce the nominal capital gain on the disposal of the shares by onethird.

The CGT discount is generally applied after taking into account any capital losses or net capital losses from previous income years. Quantify Ordinary Shareholders having any capital losses or net capital losses from previous income years should seek independent advice in relation to the potential availability of the CGT discount.

7.5 Quantify Ordinary Shareholders who are Companies will Not be Entitled to the CGT Discount

Companies are not entitled to the CGT discount. The capital gain or capital loss will be calculated with reference to the capital proceeds less the cost base or reduced cost base of the company’s Quantify Ordinary Shares. Where a company realises a capital gain, it may be eligible to reduce that gain with

74

capital losses from previous income years. We recommend that companies seek advice from their professional tax advisor in relation to the availability and deductibility of capital losses.

7.6 Taxation consequences for Quantify Ordinary Optionholders

The Australian taxation consequences to Quantify Ordinary Optionholders are generally similar to those of Quantify Ordinary Shareholders.

Rollover relief may apply to Quantify Ordinary Optionholders where the options in Quantify are replaced by options in WHL. To qualify for rollover relief the transaction must to be pursuant to the take-over bid and satisfy certain conditions. The effect of the rollover relief is that the Quantify Ordinary Optionholders defer any capital gain until such time as the WHL Bid Options are disposed of.

Given the complexity of the taxation legislation, Quantify Ordinary Optionholders should seek independent taxation advice regarding the tax consequences of disposing of Quantify Ordinary Options given the particular circumstances which apply to them.

7.7 GST

GST should not apply to the disposal of Quantify Ordinary Shares or Quantify Ordinary Options under the Takeover Offers, the issue of WHL Shares or WHL Bid Options under the Takeover Offers, or any subsequent disposal of WHL Shares or WHL Bid Options.

Quantify Ordinary Shareholders and Quantify Ordinary Optionholders who are registered for GST purposes may not be entitled to full input tax credits for any GST incurred on costs associated with acquiring or disposing of securities in WHL or Quantify. Quantify Ordinary Shareholders and Quantify Ordinary Optionholders should seek their own tax advice in this respect.

75

8. RISK FACTORS

8.1 Overview

The risk factors included below with respect to the business of Quantify have been prepared by the Company using information provided to WHL by Quantify, as well as publicly available information. The information concerning Quantify has not been independently verified. WHL does not, subject to any applicable laws, make any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of this information. The information on Quantify is not considered to be comprehensive.

The business activities of WHL and the Merged Group are subject to various risks that may impact on the future performance of WHL and the Merged Group. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are outside the control of WHL and the Merged Group and cannot be mitigated.

If the Offer becomes unconditional, Quantify Ordinary Shareholders and Quantify Ordinary Optionholders who accept the Offer will become WHL Shareholders and WHL Optionholders respectively. In those circumstances, Quantify Ordinary Shareholders and Quantify Ordinary Optionholders will:

  • (a) continue to be exposed to the risks associated to the investment in Quantify as a result of their indirect interest in Quantify through WHL;

  • (b) be exposed to the risks which are specific to an investment in WHL; and

  • (c) be exposed to additional risks relating to the Offer and the Merged Group.

The principal risk factors are explained below. These risks however are not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which WHL and the Merged Group are exposed.

Quantify Ordinary Shareholders and Quantify Ordinary Optionholders should read the Bidder’s Statement carefully and consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to accept the Offer. This Section 8 has been prepared without taking into account the individual financial objectives, financial situation and particular needs of Quantify Ordinary Shareholders and Quantify Ordinary Optionholders.

An investment in the Merged Group carries no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital or price at which shares will trade and should be considered speculative.

8.2

Risks Relating to the Offer

(a) Issue of WHL Shares, WHL Performance Shares and WHL Bid Options as consideration

Quantify Ordinary Shareholders and Quantify Ordinary Optionholders are being offered specific quantities of WHL Shares and WHL Performance Shares and/or WHL Bid Options as consideration under the Offer. As a result, the value of the consideration will fluctuate depending upon the market value of WHL Shares or WHL Bid Options at any given time. Accordingly, the market value of the WHL Shares or WHL Bid Options at

76

the time you receive them may vary significantly from their market value on the date of your acceptance of the Offer.

(b) Sale of WHL Shares or WHL Bid Options

Under the Offer, WHL will issue a significant number of new WHL Shares and WHL Bid Options. Some holders of WHL Shares and/or WHL Bid Options may not intend to continue to hold their WHL Shares and/or WHL Bid Options and may wish to sell them. There is a risk that this may adversely impact on the price of and demand for WHL Shares and/or WHL Bid Options.

(c) Acquisition of Less than 90% of Quantify Ordinary Shares

It is possible that WHL could acquire a Relevant Interest of less than 90% of Quantify Ordinary Shares on issue under the Share Takeover Offer, which would prevent WHL compulsorily acquiring all remaining Quantify securities. The existence of a minority interest in Quantify may have an impact on the operations of the Merged Group, although this impact will depend upon the ultimate level of Quantify ownership acquired by WHL.

8.3 Risks relating to the Change in Nature and Scale of Activities

(a) Contractual Risk

In order for WHL to be able to achieve its objectives and complete the Merger, WHL is reliant on Quantify complying with its respective contractual obligations under the MIA. Should one of these parties fail to comply with the terms of the MIA, the Merger may not complete meaning WHL will not acquire an interest in Quantify. Further, if a party defaults in the performance of its contractual obligations it may be necessary for WHL to approach a court to seek a legal remedy. Legal action can be costly and there can be no guarantee that a legal remedy will be ultimately granted on the appropriate terms. There can be no guarantee that the Merger will be completed.

(b) Conditions of the Merger and Re-Quotation of Securities on ASX

The Merger is dependent upon the satisfaction of a number of conditions, which include (but are not limited to) completion of the Capital Raising and Shareholder approval and completion of the Essential Resolutions. As the Merger constitutes a significant change in the nature and scale of WHL’s activities, WHL is also required to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.

Trading in WHL’s Securities has been suspended following the date of WHL’s announcement of the Merger and will continue to be suspended until WHL satisfies the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 11.1.3. There is a risk that WHL may not be able to meet the requirements of the ASX for re-quotation of its Securities on the ASX. Should this occur, the Securities will not be able to be traded on the ASX until such time as those requirements can be met, if at all. Shareholders would then be prevented from trading their Securities should WHL be suspended until such time as it does re-comply with the ASX Listing Rules.

77

(c) Dilution Risk

WHL currently has 5,564,983,246 Shares on issue (on a pre-Consolidation basis). On completion of the Merger, WHL proposes to issue:

  • (i) up to 250,000,000 Shares and 120,000,000 WHL Performance Shares under the Share Takeover Offer;

  • (ii) a minimum of 58,333,333 Shares to raise $3,500,000 as part of the Capital Raising;

  • (iii) 11,826,787 Shares to acquire all Quantify Shares (Class C); and

  • (iv) up to 10,833,333 Shares to Quantify Convertible Loan Holders.

Assuming no exercise of Options and no conversion of WHL Performance Shares or WHL Founder Performance Shares, the existing Shareholders will retain approximately 16.8% of the issued capital of WHL (i.e. they will be diluted by approximately 83.2%), with the holders of Quantify Ordinary Shares holding 62.8% and investors under the Capital Raising holding 14.7% of the issued capital of WHL respectively.

Assuming the maximum subscription of $5 million is raised under the Capital Raising, the existing Shareholders will retain approximately 15.8% of the issued capital of WHL (i.e. they will be diluted by approximately 84.2%), with the holders of Quantify Ordinary Shares holding 59.1% and investors under the Capital Raising holding 19.7% of the issued capital of WHL respectively.

If all the WHL Bid Options and EOP Options are exercised, and all of the WHL Performance Shares and WHL Founder Performance Shares vest and are converted into Shares, a further 218,236,165 Shares will be issued, further diluting existing Shareholders to a holding of 10.88% assuming minimum subscription under the Capital Raising and a holding of 10.46% assuming maximum subscription under the Capital Raising.

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 development of Quantify’s business.

(d) Liquidity Risk

On the Effective Date, WHL proposes to issue up to 250,000,000 Shares and 120,000,000 WHL Performance Shares to the holders of Quantify Ordinary Shares, up to 11,826,787 Shares to Quantify Class C Shareholders and up to 10,833,333 Shares to Quantify Convertible Loan Holders (all issues being on a post-Consolidation basis).

These Shares (and WHL Shares issued upon conversion of WHL Performance Shares) may be subject to escrow restrictions in accordance with Chapter 9 of the ASX Listing Rules. This could result in an increased liquidity risk as a substantial portion of issued capital may not be able to be traded freely for a period of time.

78

8.4 Risks in respect of Quantify’s current operations

(a) Capital and Funding Requirements

Given its initial focus on growing its market share, Quantify has negative operating cashflow and, at present, it does not currently have any revenue. No assurance can be given that Quantify will achieve commercial viability though its existing technology or otherwise. Until Quantify is able to realise value from its technology, it is likely to incur ongoing operating losses. It is intended that the Capital Raising will provide for Quantify’s funding in the immediate term. However, depending on how successfully Quantify times and executes it monetisation and depending on the opportunities that arise for business development, Quantify may require further resources to achieve its aims going forward. Beyond its regular operating expenses, additional funding may also be deemed necessary to take advantage of Merger, promotional or other business opportunities. These funds may come in the form of further investments or loans. While the Directors and Proposed Directors believe that Quantify represents an exciting and attractive investment opportunity, WHL may not be able to secure funding on acceptable terms. Its ability to raise further capital and the terms on which it does so may depend on macro-economic conditions, the performance of Quantify and of the broader Internet of Things technology industry at the time, and the risks associated with the intended use of the funds. If Quantify is unable to access these funds, or is unable to do so on acceptable terms, this could adversely affect WHL’s position.

(b) Development and commercialisation of the Quantify technology

The success of the Merged Group post completion of the Merger will depend upon Quantify’s ability to develop and commercialise the Quantify technology and Quantify Intellectual Property. A failure to successfully develop and commercialise the Quantify technology could lead to a loss of opportunities and adversely impact on the Merged Group’s operating results and financial position. The global marketplace for most products is ever changing due to new technologies, new products, changes in preferences, changes in regulation and other factors influencing market acceptance or market rejection. This market volatility and risk exists despite the best endeavours of market research, promotion and sales and licensing campaigns. There is a risk that, if the Quantify technology is not accepted by the market, Quantify will not be able to commercialise its Internet of Things products, which could adversely impact the Merged Group’s operations.

The market for “Internet of Things” is still relatively new. It is uncertain whether “Internet of Things” devices will achieve wide market acceptance. Quantify’s success will depend to a substantial extent on the willingness of consumers to widely adopt these devices. In part, adoption of Quantify’s Products will depend on the increasing prevalence of “Internet of Things” devices and the profile of the market as a whole. Furthermore, some consumers may be unwilling to use “Internet of Things” devices because they have concerns regarding data privacy and security. If consumers do not perceive the benefits of “Internet of Things” devices or choose not to adopt them, the market may develop more slowly than expected which would adversely affect Quantify’s business, financial condition and operating results.

79

Quantify could experience delays in completing the development and introduction of its Products. Problems in the design or quality of Quantify’s Products may also have an adverse effect on Quantify’s business, financial condition, and operating results. If Product introductions are delayed or not successful, Quantify may not be able to achieve an acceptable return, if any, on its research and development efforts, and Quantify’s business may be adversely affected. Expenditure on research and development may not produce the intended results. Additionally, investments in new technologies, processes and products may not produce returns for the Company above the cost of development of those technologies, products and processes.

(c) Redundancy, Upgradability and Scalability Risk

There is a risk that industry standards might change in relation to standard communication protocols (for example wifi, zigbee protocols becoming obsolete) and that Quantify’s current communication architecture base may become redundant or no longer supported.

Quantify believes that it is well placed to address this risk owing to its modular design. Quantify will ensure that its current technology choices and architecture use industry standard development frameworks and monitors these industry standards.

(d) Intellectual property

Securing rights to intellectual property, and in particular patents, is an integral part of securing potential product value from the development of Quantify’s technology. Competition in retaining and sustaining protection of intellectual property and the complex nature of intellectual property can lead to expensive and lengthy patents disputes for which there can be no guaranteed outcome. The granting of a patent does not guarantee that the rights of others are not infringed nor that competitors will not develop competing intellectual property that circumvents such patents. Quantify’s success depends, in part, on its ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties.

Annexure C of this Bidder’s Statement sets out Quantify’s current patents, patent applications and trade mark rights currently held. As some of these patents have not yet been granted, without the priority date for some of its intellectual property there is a risk of third parties lodging patents in the same field with an earlier priority date, as well as the publication of similar methods to those envisioned in the Quantify patents which would invalidate any future Quantify patent claims.

There is also a risk of third parties claiming involvement in technological developments, and if any disputes arise, they could adversely affect Quantify’s business. Except as disclosed below, Quantify is not aware of any third party interests in relation to the intellectual property rights of the Quantify technology, there has not been any external analysis of patents to determine whether the Quantify technology infringes any existing patents. This provides for the potential risk of claims being made at a later point which may incur costs for Quantify through the need for licensing of further patents. The Merged Group’s prospects may also depend on Quantify’s ability to licence third party proprietary technology necessary for the development of the Quantify technology. Breach of any licence agreements, or infringement of the licensed intellectual property by third

80

parties, may have an adverse impact on Quantify’s ability to develop its technology.

(e) Lack of patent protection

An integral part of Quantify’s business will be its ability to obtain and sustain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing proprietary rights of third parties. The granting of protection, such as a registered patent, does not guarantee that the rights of others are not infringed, that competitors will not develop technology to avoid the patent or that third parties will not claim an interest in the intellectual property with a view to seeking a commercial benefit from Quantify or its partners. In this regard, based on the perceived cost versus benefit of doing so, Quantify has decided not to pursue patent filing in certain jurisdictions. This may allow competitors in such jurisdictions to develop products functionally identical to Quantify Products and Quantify may not be able to seek injunctive or financial relief against those companies by virtue of not having registered interests in those jurisdictions. No guarantee can be given that the patents will give Quantify commercially significant protection of its intellectual property.

Quantify has notified a third party that it may be developing a product that might fall within the scope of Quantify’s Australian patent (Application number 2013204864), and has invited the party to engage at a commercial level to discuss a beneficial way forward. Quantify may not be able to reach agreement with the party that is potentially in breach and at such stage, will have to evaluate what course of action it should take in relation to the breach.

(f) Trade Marks

Quantify is the applicant of pending trade mark applications. Objections have been raised by the relevant examiner in a case to the wording of the services claimed and, in the case of one of the Quantify trademarks, on the basis of allegedly similar trade marks on the Trade Marks register. There is a risk that this and any other potential future objections may not be able to be overcome, and accordingly a risk that the trade mark application may not be accepted, and subsequently registered. While this may not prevent Quantify from continuing to trade under the relevant brands, it may limit Quantify’s ability to prevent a competing product from being made available by another party using the same or similar branding.

(g) Sales risk

In order to commercialise the Quantify technology, the Merged Group will need to develop a successful sales model for delivery of the Quantify technology to customers. Potential sales models include the reseller strategy and direct sales model. The reseller model provides significant advantages to a smaller business by increasing its reach to the customer. However, risk lies in the ability or motivation of the reseller achieving agreed sales volumes not being under the direct control of the Merged Group. This can only be mitigated through the reseller agreements providing clauses in relation to non-performance of meeting mutually agreed sales targets. The direct sales model has the benefit of the Merged Group retaining control of the sales process. However, the sale of technically complex products requires additional financial resources and specialized sales staff. There is a risk that the Merged Group may lack

81

the financial and technical capacity to implement successful sales channels across borders and to different geographical regions. The inability of the Merged Group to implement a successful sales model will have an adverse impact on the future success and profitability of the Merged Group.

(h) Global Market Risk

Quantify’s future aim is to take the Q Device into global markets, thus Quantify’s continued growth is dependent on it entering new markets. Any expansion into new markets could expose Quantify to a number of risks including different regulatory systems, difficulties managing foreign operations, exchange rate fluctuations, differences in consumer behaviour, potential political and economic instability and potential difficulties in enforcing contracts and intellectual property rights. Any of these factors could materially affect Quantify’s business, financial performance and operations.

(i)

Competition risk

There is significant competition in the Internet of Things industry generally, with companies offering a variety of competitive products and services. Competition in the Internet of Things industry is expected to intensify in the future as new and existing competitors introduce new or enhanced products that are potentially more competitive than Quantify’s products. The Internet of Things industry has a multitude of participants, including many large, broad-based consumer electronic companies that compete in Quantify’s market.

There is no assurance that competitors will not succeed in developing products that are more effective or economic than the products developed by Quantify, or which would render the products obsolete and/or otherwise uncompetitive.

The large number of market participants can complicate customers’ discrimination between competitors, increasing the difficulty of achieving market share and revenue. Quantify may be unable to compete successfully against future competitors where aggressive policies are employed to capture market share. Such competition could result in price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which could materially adversely affect the Merged Group’s future business, operating results and financial position.

There is also the potential for significant consolidation in Quantify’s targeted market, resulting in a fewer number of competitors each having greater financial and other resources. Any such consolidation before the commercialisation of Quantify’s technology could also adversely affect Quantify’s ability to gain market share and commercialise its technology.

(j) Staffing and reliance on key management

Quantify will rely heavily on the experience and knowledge of Mark Lapins and Aidan Montague. In the event that any of these persons or any other key personnel that Quantify subsequently leaves Quantify and Quantify is unable to recruit suitable replacements, such loss could have a materially adverse effect on Quantify.

82

The responsibility of successfully implementing Quantify’s development and commercialisation strategy depends substantially on its senior management and its key personnel. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Merged Group if one or more of these employees cease their employment with Quantify. There is also a risk to the business where there is a turnover of development staff that have knowledge of the technology and business. This loss of knowledge could result in leakage or misappropriation of confidential information. Whilst Quantify aims to mitigate this risk by imposing contractual restraints on use and ownership of Quantify’s confidential information, there could also be increased costs for Quantify in having to replace the implicit knowledge and skills of departing employees.

(k) Dependence on the Internet and telecommunications infrastructure

The success of Quantify and its products will depend to some extent on the availability and stability of telecommunications infrastructure, and in particular the infrastructure over which devices directly communicate with each other and the internet. The utility of both connectivity and the Internet for carrying communications between devices can be adversely impacted upon as a result of the rapidly increasing demands for bandwidth, data security, reliability, cost, accessibility and quality of service. Delays in the development or adoption of new standards and protocols to handle these increased demands may impact on the adoption of Quantify and ultimately the success of Quantify’s business. The performance of the Internet has been harmed by “viruses,” “worms” and similar malicious programs, and the Internet has experienced a variety of outages and other delays as a result of damage to portions of its infrastructure. Importantly, Quantify’s Q device is agnostic of the transmission technology used. A wide range of wireless as well as wireline options can be used and would be dependent upon the application and development resources. This is a decision made by the manufacturer on what best suits the needs of their customers. Note that Quantify’s platform does not rely on access to the internet for basic functionality.

(l) Hacker risk, Technology, disruption, corruption, systems failure

Security concerns and the possibility of data corruption and data manipulation are particular concerns with most wireless technology. Where consumers perceive that Quantify is insecure and open to being hacked then the adoption of Quantify’s technology may be impacted. This may ultimately impact on the success of Quantify’s business. Whilst Quantify have sought as part of the design of their technology to incorporate enterprise grade security aspects, at the present time this security design is still being investigated and no assurance can be given at this time that Quantify’s technology will be immune from the usual range of IoT technology risks. To mitigate any risks associated with this security, Quantify will be implementing changes to the hardware design to include an AES encryption engine.

(m) Third Party Reliance Risk

There is a risk that the technology used by Quantify in the development of its solution may subsequently require payment for upgrade or the payment of royalties to proprietors of that technology. This applies both to hardware components and software platforms comprising Quantify’s IoT Solution.

83

Quantify’s current strategy seeks to avoid the risk of dependence on proprietary third party technology by using technology with standardised open source or royalty free tools and libraries where possible. Quantify is of the view that if the technology it currently uses becomes proprietary in the future, or existing proprietary technology currently in use by Quantify becomes subject to commercial terms that are not acceptable to Quantify, there are existing alternate and often open source technologies which are available. However, the Company cannot guarantee that such alternatives will remain available at all times or at a commercially feasible cost.

Quantify currently uses third party tools and components in the development of its technology and as such faces a risk that those tools and components contain limitations and imperfections such as bugs or errors which may adversely affect the operation of the Quantify solution. This problem can occur with any third party tools or technologies in use by Quantify. Quantify seeks to mitigate this risk by ensuring that it maintains an agile development process involved with patching and updates of both hardware and software where these problems are publicly identified. Additionally, Quantify testing and quality assurance seeks to reduce the potential risks caused by the incorporation of third party component and software library updates.

(n) Relationships with suppliers

Quantify will rely on sourcing chips, sensors and other componentry ( Components ) from various suppliers and any material adverse change in Quantify’s relationships with its suppliers, its terms of trade, or the ability of key suppliers to meet orders could have a negative impact on its operations. Quantify’s business model revolves largely around the supply of hardware and this target revenue stream relies heavily upon the supply of these Components for hardware manufacture. Quantify is in discussions with various Components suppliers to mitigate the risk of availability and other supplier problems.

(o) Regulatory risks

Currently there are few IoT-specific laws and regulations. However in Australia, IoT-based technologies may be impacted by informational privacy laws. Such laws differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. In Australia, the collection, use, storage and disclosure of “personal information” is principally regulated by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) ( Privacy Act ). The Privacy Act does not prohibit IoT-based technologies but it could in certain circumstances impose additional compliance obligations on businesses who use or commercialise those technologies. If Quantify’s technology collects data which falls within the definition of “personal information”, or the data aggregated with other datasets which together could be considered personal information, then the compliance regime under the Privacy Act will apply to Quantify in respect of the collection, use, storage and disclosure of that “personal information”. Quantify will take steps to ensure compliance with any applicable requirements of the Privacy Act. There is the risk that increased regulation may be imposed on IoT-based technologies and therefore Quantify’s business may incur additional regulatory compliance costs, potentially effecting Quantify’s business, financial performance and operations.

84

8.5 General Risks Relating to the Merged Group

(a) Management of growth

There is a risk that management of the Merged Group will not be able to implement the Merged Group’s growth strategy after completion of the Merger. The capacity of the new management to properly implement and manage the strategic direction of the Merged Group may affect the Merged Group’s financial performance.

Since incorporation, Quantify’s business has expanded rapidly as it has retained key management, sales, development and operational staff. Consequently, Quantify’s operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected if it is unable to appropriately manage this recent expansion and the increased scale of the business together with the planned commercialisation of various products.

(b) Risk of High Volume of Sale of Securities in WHL

If the Merger is successfully completed, WHL will have issued a significant number of new Shares to various parties. Some of the Quantify Shareholders and others that receive Shares as a result of the Merger may not intend to continue to hold those Shares and may wish to sell them on ASX (subject to any applicable escrow period). There is a risk that an increase in the amount of people wanting to sell Shares may adversely impact on the market price of Securities.

There can be no assurance that there will be, or continue to be, an active market for Shares or that the price of Shares will increase. As a result, Quantify Shareholders may, upon selling their Shares, receive a market price for their securities that is less than the price at the date of this Bidder’s Statement.

(c) Acquisition of less than 90% of Quantify Ordinary Shares

It is possible that WHL could acquire a relevant interest of less than 90% of all Quantify Ordinary Shares on issue under the Share Takeover Offer (in the event that WHL waives, with the prior written consent of Quantify, the 90% minimum acceptance condition). The existence of third party minority interests in Quantify Ordinary Shares may have an impact on the operations of Quantify as Quantify would not, in those circumstances, be a wholly owned subsidiary of WHL. However, this impact will depend upon the ultimate level of WHL ownership in Quantify.

(d) Trading Price of Shares

WHL’s operating results, economic and financial prospects and other factors will affect the trading price of the Shares. In addition, the price of Shares is subject to varied and often unpredictable influences on the market for equities, including, but not limited to general economic conditions including the performance of the Australian dollar and United States dollar on world markets, inflation rates, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, variations in the general market for listed stocks in general, changes to government policy, legislation or regulation, industrial disputes, general operational and business risks and hedging or arbitrage trading activity that may develop involving the Shares.

85

In particular, the share prices for many companies have been and may in the future be highly volatile, which in many cases may reflect a diverse range of non-company specific influences such as global hostilities and tensions relating to certain unstable regions of the world, acts of terrorism and the general state of the global economy. No assurances can be made that WHL’s market performance will not be adversely affected by any such market fluctuations or factors.

(e) Additional Requirements for Capital

The capital requirements of the Merged Group will depend on numerous factors. Depending on the ability of the Merged Group to generate income from its operations, the Merged Group may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the Capital Raising. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Merged Group is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations.

(f) Market risk

Share market conditions may affect the value of the Merged Group’s quoted Securities regardless of the Merged Group’s operating performance. Share market conditions are affected by many factors such as:

  • (i) general economic outlook;

  • (ii) interest rates and inflation rates;

  • (iii) currency fluctuations;

  • (iv) commodity price fluctuations;

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

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

  • (vii) terrorism and other hostilities.

  • (g) Acquisitions

As part of its business strategy, the Merged Group may make acquisitions of, or significant investments in, companies, products, technologies and/or products that are complementary to Quantify’s business. Any such future transactions are accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in making acquisitions of companies, products and technologies, such as integrating cultures and systems of operation, relocation of operations, short term strain on working capital requirements, achieving the sales and margins anticipated and retaining key staff and customer and supplier relationships.

(h) Litigation Risks

The Merged Group is exposed to possible litigation risks including intellectual property claims, contractual disputes, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, the Merged Group may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in

86

litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Merged Group’s operations, financial performance and financial position. Neither WHL nor Quantify is currently engaged in any litigation.

(i) Investment Speculative

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by WHL, the Merged Group or by investors in WHL. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above may, in the future, materially affect the financial performance of the Merged Group and the value of the Merged Group’s securities.
