Information. This Presentation does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, securities in the United States or to any person to whom such an offer or sale would be unlawful. This Presentation may not be distributed or released in the United
unless the securities are registered under the U.S. Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable United States securities laws. The pro forma financial information included in this Presentation does not purport to be in compliance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X of the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Investors should also be aware that certain financial data included in this Presentation are "non-GAAP financial measures" under Regulation G of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The disclosure of such non-GAAP financial measures in the manner included in this presentation would not be permissible in a registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act. Tlou believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to users in measuring the financial performance and conditions of Tlou. These non-GAAP financial measures do not have a standardised meaning prescribed by Australian Accounting Standards and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other entities, nor should they be construed as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards. Investors are cautioned, therefore, not to place undue reliance on any non-GAAP financial measures and ratios included in this Presentation.
