Examples of how the dilution may impact individual Shareholders is set out in the table below:

% at Entitlements Holdings if Holding as at Record under the Offer not % post Holder Record date Date Offer taken Up Offer Shareholder 1 10,000,000 8.28% 5,714,286 10,000,000 5.27% Shareholder 2 5,000,000 4.14% 2,857,143 5,000,000 2.64% Shareholder 3 1,500,000 1.24% 875,143 1,500,000 0.79% Shareholder 4 400,000 0.33% 228,571 400,000 0.21% Shareholder 5 50,000 0.04% 28,571 50,000 0.03%

Securities issued pursuant to the Shortfall Offer will be issued on a progressive basis.

6. RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES ATTACHING TO SECURITIES

6.1 Shares

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

Full details of the rights and liabilities attaching to 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

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

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 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 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 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 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

2940-15/2201412_24 16

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.

Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Company may, by resolution of the Directors, implement a dividend reinvestment plan on such terms and conditions as the Directors think fit and which provides for any dividend which the Directors may declare from time to time payable on Shares which are participating Shares in the dividend reinvestment plan, less any amount which the Company shall either pursuant to the Constitution or any law be entitled or obliged to retain, be applied by the Company to the payment of the subscription price of Shares.

(d) Winding-up

If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution, divide among the Shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the property of the Company, and may for that purpose set such value as he considers fair upon any property to be so divided, and may determine how the division is to be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders.

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, but so that no Shareholder is compelled to accept any shares or other securities in respect of which there is any liability.

(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.

(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 Shareholders vary or abrogate the rights attaching to shares.

2940-15/2201412_24 17

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 with 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 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.

6.2 New Options

Within 15 Business Days after the Exercise Date, the Company will:

(i) issue the number of Shares required under these terms and conditions in respect of the number of New Options specified in the Notice of Exercise and for which cleared funds have been received by the Company;

(ii) if required, give ASX a notice that complies with section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act, or, if the Company is unable to issue such a notice, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors; and

(iii) if admitted to the official list of ASX at the time, apply for official quotation on ASX of Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the New Options.

If a notice delivered under (g)(i) for any reason is not effective to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors, the Company must, no later than 20 Business Days after becoming aware of such notice being ineffective, lodge with ASIC a prospectus prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act and do all such things necessary to satisfy section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act to ensure that an offer for sale of the Shares does not require disclosure to investors.

(h) Shares issued on exercise

Shares issued on exercise of the New Options rank equally with the then issued shares of the Company.

(j) Participation in new issues

There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the New Options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to Shareholders during the currency of the New Options without exercising the New Options.

(k) Change in exercise price

A New Option does not confer the right to a change in Exercise Price or a change in the number of underlying securities over which the New Option can be exercised.

(l) Quoted

The Company will apply for quotation of the New Options on ASX.

2940-15/2201412_24 19

(m) Transferability

2940-15/2201412_24 20

7. RISK FACTORS

7.1 Introduction

The Securities offered under this Prospectus are considered highly speculative. An investment in the Company is not risk free and the Directors strongly recommend potential investors to consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus and to consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

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

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

7.2 Company specific

(a) Potential for significant dilution

Upon implementation of the Offer, assuming all Entitlements are accepted and no Options are exercised or Performance Shares converted prior to the Record Date the number of Shares in the Company will increase from 120,733,792 currently on issue to 189,724,531. This means that each Share will represent a significantly lower proportion of the ownership of the Company.

It is not possible to predict what the value of the Company or a Share will be following the completion of the Offer being implemented and the Directors do not make any representation as to such matters.

The last trading price of Shares on ASX prior to the prospectus being lodged of $0.064 is not a reliable indicator as to the potential trading price of Shares after implementation of the Offer.

(b) Additional requirements for capital

The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company’s ability to generate income from its operations, the Company may require further financing in addition to amounts raised under the Offer. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its real estate growth activities as the case may be. There is however no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms favourable to the Company.

(c) Debt financing

The Company currently has existing debt facilities totalling approximately $12.6 million provided by Macquarie Bank Limited (Macquarie) which

2940-15/2201412_24 21

holds first ranking registered security over all present and future assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Existing terms under the current Macquarie facilities remain unchanged until 30 September 2019, at which time any extension under existing terms may be negotiated with Macquarie and subject to its credit approval processes.

The Company is currently in discussions with multiple lenders including Macquarie in the negotiation for either the extension or refinancing of its existing facilities.

In the event of any change or refinancing of the existing facilities, the terms and facility limits will be subject to variation and may include new covenants and/or amendments to fees or pricing which may be more financially onerous for the Company.

(d) Conversion of debt

The Company notes that, as set out in the Notice of General Meeting, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the issue of Shares and Options to related and unrelated parties for the conversion of debt of approximately $6,300,000. If Shareholder approval is not obtained for the proposed Security issues, the Company will need to renegotiate repayment of this debt with the creditors.

(e) Reliance on key personnel

The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on their senior management and key personnel. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these employees cease their employment or if one or more of the directors of the Company leaves the Board.

(f) Lenders’ willingness to employ third-party distribution channels

The Company’s mortgage business and the mortgage broking industry generally, is reliant on lenders’ willingness to employ third-party distribution channels as a means of marketing their loan products. Depending on the relative cost of other distribution methods in the future, lenders may also decide to decrease their reliance on (or not to use) third-party channels, develop competing distribution channels or reduce current upfront or trail commission terms, any of which would have a significant adverse effect on the industry generally and on the Company. The Company is also reliant on receiving access to competitive products from the Finsure Lending Panel (a suite of lending institutions in Australia) to enable brokers to attract customers in an increasingly competitive mortgage market. There can be no assurance that Finsure Lending Panel will continue to be able to access competitive products.

(g) Supplier risk

The Company sources a number of products and services from outsourced suppliers. Examples include mortgage aggregator services through Finsure. Any material changes in trading terms and/or supply from outsourced suppliers may impact the Company’s ability to provide

2940-15/2201412_24 22

the current suite of products and services to its customers at the current pricing and gross margin on mortgage lines.

(h) Technology risk

The Company’s real estate business “The Agency” is built around technology that gives the Company’s sales representatives the ability to work from any location with a few large regional offices for support. Any interruption to the daily service, operation and maintenance of this technology plus failure or delay continuing to develop new functionality to the technology may have a material impact on the Company’s current and future revenues. The Company also relies on a number of management information systems to enable the efficient running of the business. Whilst standard back-up, storage and recovery procedures are implemented, including offsite storage of back-up data, any event that causes harm or destroys the original and back-up data may have a material impact on the Company’s ability to maintain continuous operations for the period of time required to remedy the cause of business interruption.

(i) Security risk

The Company relies upon the security of its management information systems, payment systems, website and client database. Any breaches of security including cyberattacks to the website or database that may cause damage, loss of operation or access to customer records by unauthorised parties could cause material impact or interruption to the Company’s continuous operation and therefore financial results. Damage, loss or misuse of client records may cause a loss of confidence in the Company by its clients as well as reputational damage.

(j) Customer service

Ausnet relies upon both the continuous operation of its website as well as the ability to provide an acceptable level of customer assistance and service via its own staff and/or outsource providers. Any event that causes customer service to fall to inadequate or unacceptable levels may cause reputational damage and consequently a reduction in the Company’s ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers. Any loss of existing or new customers will impact the Company’s revenues.

(k) Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights

Should the Company be accused of infringing a third-party’s intellectual property rights or trademarks and commence legal proceedings against the Company, the Company may incur significant costs in defending such proceedings, regardless of the outcome. Defending legal proceedings can often be defocusing for management and possibly other staff, which may divert their attention from the optimal management of the Company and results. Should a third-party obtain injunctive or other relief, it may prevent the Company from further use of the related intellectual property or trademark. Should such litigation be successful, the Company may also be caused to pay damages to the third-party and incur additional cost in the future to use or replace the functionality of the related intellectual property or trademark.

2940-15/2201412_24 23

(l) IT systems

The Company’s ability to manage service and pay its client database is dependent on its information technology systems (including its customer relationship management software) and relationships with service providers. Interruptions, failure or delay in the provision of services could severely impact the business operations of the Company as damaging the Company’s reputation. Any issues with Ausnet’s information technology systems may also impact on the Company’s operational capabilities and financial performance.

(m) Dependency on Licences for financial services businesses

The Company’s mortgage broking and financial services businesses are dependent on relevant government licences and can be revoked if certain conditions are breached. If theses licences were revoked, this would have an adverse effect on revenue for these business units.

(n) Reliance on external software providers

The Company’s mortgage business is reliant on software provided by Finsure to facilitate their business including its customer relationship management software). There is a risk that a transfer to a new aggregator, and with it, new software systems, could cause some disruption to the business.

7.3 Industry specific

(a) Competition risks

The Company operates in a highly competitive market. Therefore, it faces the risk that increasing levels of competition, including competition from business models using new technology platforms, could result in, among other things, the Company foregoing a greater proportion of its profit margin to retain volumes of mortgages written, reduced upfront commissions and trail commissions and changes to the structure of upfront commissions and trail commissions by lenders (such as the replacement of trail commissions with up-front commissions). This may result in reduced revenue, reduced operating margins and a loss of market share, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating and financial performance and position and future prospects.

(b) Importance of licences for the Company’s core business activities

The Company currently holds an Australian credit licence (ACL) to engage in mortgage broking activities, in order to conduct its business. This licence enables the Company to engage and facilitate mortgage activities. Compliance with the obligations of the licences is the responsibility of the licensee. If the Company does not comply with the conditions of their licences or meet regulatory requirements, it could be subject to penalties, more onerous licence conditions and the imposition of licence restrictions for the loss of that licence. If the Company is unable to retain its licence or has restrictions imposed on this licence, it may not be able to continue to operate its business, or aspects of its business, in its current form. This would have a material adverse impact on the financial performance and position of the business.

2940-15/2201412_24 24

(c) Regulatory risks

In Australia, the mortgage broking industry is primarily regulated by ASIC and the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009 (Cth) (NCCP Act). The industry is also subject to a variety of other laws including privacy, financial transaction reporting and money laundering. If the Company does not meet regulatory requirements, such as various responsible lending obligations under the NCCP Act, it may suffer penalties or the ability to maintain its current ACL. Therefore, the Company’s operating activities may be affected, which is likely to have a material impact on the Company’s business and financial performance. These penalties may include (but are not limited to): fines, compensation, and cancellation or suspension of authority to carry on business. In addition, the regulatory framework governing the mortgage broking industry is subject to change. This could have an impact on the mortgage broking industry or on the Company’s operations. Depending on the nature of any such changes, they may adversely impact the operations or future financial performance of the Company. The repercussions of the Banking Royal commission are still unknown from a regulatory perspective as well as the effect it may have on the availability of credit. A tightening of the availability of credit may cause an adverse effect on the real estate market.

(d) Conduct of mortgage brokers and credit representatives

The Company’s mortgage business faces a number of risks arising from the conduct of mortgage brokers. It is noted that under the NCCP Act, the Company is liable to customers for any loss or damage they suffer as a result of a mortgage broker’s conduct. This applies to conduct that relates to credit activity on which the customer could reasonably be expected to rely and in fact relied in good faith. Where the Company is responsible for the conduct of its credit representative, the customer has the same remedies against the Company as it has against the credit representative. This means that customers can take action against the Company in respect of a mortgage broker’s conduct.

7.4 General risks

(a) Interest Rates

Australian consumers and residential borrowers currently enjoy historically low interest rates which have contributed to the growth of the Company’s loan book. In the event interest rates significantly increase, potential borrowers’ willingness and ability to borrow may be greatly reduced and the volume of loans settled could significantly decrease, affecting the Company’s loan book and the associated financial performance of the Company.

(b) Funding Risks

If the Company incurs unexpected costs or is unable to generate sufficient operating income, further funding may be required. The Company may require additional funding to carry out the full scope of its plans.

The Company’s ability to effectively implement its business and operations plans in the future, to take advantage of opportunities for acquisitions, joint ventures or other business opportunities and to meet 2940-15/2201412_24 25

any unanticipated liabilities or expenses which the Company may incur may depend in part on its ability to raise additional funds. The Company may seek to raise further funds through equity or debt financing or other means. Failure to obtain sufficient financing for the Company’s activities may result in delay and indefinite postponement of the development of key software products or sales and marketing activities. There can be no assurance that additional finance will be available when needed or, if available, the terms of the financing might not be favourable to the Company and might involve substantial dilution to Shareholders.

Loan agreements and other financing rearrangements such as debt facilities, convertible note issue and finance leases (and any related guarantee and security) that may be entered into by the Company may contain covenants, undertakings and other provisions which, if breached, may entitle lenders to accelerate repayment of loans and there is no assurance that the Company would be able to repay such loans in the event of an acceleration. Enforcement of any security granted by the Company or default under a finance lease could also result in the loss of assets.

The Company is exposed to risks associated with its financial instruments (consisting of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to third parties from time to time). This includes the risk that a third- party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations; the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due; and the risk that market prices may vary which will affect the Company’s income.

(c) Economic

General economic conditions, introduction of tax reform, new legislation, movements in interest and inflation rates and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company’s business activities and potential research and development programmes, as well as on their ability to fund those activities. The real estate markets in Western Australia, New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland have been declining and the rate of decline is unknown with both number of transactions reducing and values of properties. The Agency operates in all these markets.

(d) Insurance risks

The Company intends to insure its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances, such insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company effected.

(e) Litigation risks

The Company is exposed to possible litigation risks. Further, the Company may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future which may result in litigation. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Company’s operations, financial performance and financial position. The Company is not currently engaged in any litigation.

2940-15/2201412_24 26

(f) Market conditions

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

(i) general economic outlook;

(ii) introduction of tax reform or other new legislation;

(iii) interest rates and inflation rates;

(iv) changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors;

(v) the demand for, and supply of, capital; and

(vi) terrorism or other hostilities.

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

7.5 Speculative investment

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Securities offered under this Prospectus.

Therefore, the Securities to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Securities.

Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is highly speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

2940-15/2201412_24 27

8. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

8.1 Litigation

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company is not involved in any legal proceedings and the Directors are not aware of any legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company.

8.2 Continuous disclosure obligations

The Company is a “disclosing entity” (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of section 713 of the Corporations Act and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company’s securities.

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

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

Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the 3 months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX.

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

The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act states that:

(a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;

(b) copies of documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company (not being documents referred to in section 1274(2)(a) of the Corporations Act) may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of the ASIC; and

(c) it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the Closing Date:

(i) the annual financial report most recently lodged by the Company with the ASIC; 2940-15/2201412_24 28

(ii) any half-year financial report lodged by the Company with the ASIC after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC; and

(iii) any continuous disclosure documents given by the Company to ASX in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules as referred to in section 674(1) of the Corporations Act after the lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in (i) and before the lodgement of this Prospectus with the ASIC.

8.11 Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System (CHESS) and Issuer Sponsorship

Investors who do not wish to participate through CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company. Because the sub-registers are electronic, ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation.

Electronic registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead, investors will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of Shares issued to them under this Prospectus. The notice will also advise holders of their Holder Identification Number or Security Holder Reference Number and explain, for future reference, the sale and purchase procedures under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.

Further monthly statements will be provided to holders if there have been any changes in their security holding in the Company during the preceding month.

The information may also be used from time to time and disclosed to persons inspecting the register, bidders for your securities in the context of takeovers, regulatory bodies, including the Australian Taxation Office, authorised securities brokers, print service providers, mail houses and the Company’s share registry.

You can access, correct and update the personal information that we hold about you. Please contact the Company or its share registry if you wish to do so at the relevant contact numbers set out in this Prospectus.

Collection, maintenance and disclosure of certain personal information is governed by legislation including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (as amended), the Corporations Act and certain rules such as the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.
