Unlockd

Administrators’ key actions since appointment

12

  • Communicated with key stakeholders, including partners, suppliers, employees

and shareholders

  • Restructured the workforce to reduce operating costs
  • Undertaken preliminary investigations into the financial position of the Group
  • Appointed an adviser to lead the sale / recapitalisation campaign, advertised the

Group’s business for sale and commenced other sale preparation

  • Held discussions with the Group’s legal advisers in the google litigation on the

status of those proceedings and taken steps to preserve the Group’s legal rights

  • Made preliminary approaches to potential litigation funders in relation to the

google litigation

  • Obtained a 12 week extension to the convening period
  • Sought Court approval, subject to certain conditions, for Unlockd Limited to loan

monies to Unlockd Operations for the purpose of paying operating costs to support the sale / recapitalisation strategy

slide-13
SLIDE 13

Unlockd

Application for approval to loan monies to Unlockd Operations

13

  • The Companies have not entered into a deed of cross guarantee pursuant to ASIC

Corporations (Wholly-owned Companies) Instrument 2016/785

  • Unlockd Operations has immediate funding requirements including payroll,

consultant costs, web hosting charges and rent. Unlockd Operations has insufficient cash to fund these obligations

  • The Unlockd Operations expenses are being incurred for the benefit of all Unlockd

entities due to the integrated nature of the Australian business

  • As Unlockd Operations does not have sufficient funds to meet these expenses the

Administrators sought an order from the Court to enable money to be loaned from Unlockd Limited to Unlockd Operations

  • The Administrators are of the view that loaning these funds between entities is in

the best interest of Unlockd Limited creditors because they are likely to maximise and preserve the value of Unlockd Limited’s assets

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Unlockd

Strategy going forward

  • Continue to trade the business while pursuing a sale / recapitalisation of all or

part of the business or its assets:  Advertisement featured in newspapers on 15 June 2018  Non-binding expressions of interest are due by COB on 22 June 2018

  • Investigate the reasons for the failure of the business and prepare a report to

creditors (to be tabled at the second creditors’ meeting) providing creditors with the Administrators’ recommendation on the options available

Liquidation vs Deed of Company Arrangement

  • A DOCA is a binding arrangement

between a company and its creditors

  • One option to effect a sale is through a

DOCA Deed of Company Arrangement (“DOCA”)

  • At the second meeting, creditors may vote

for the liquidation of the companies

  • Voidable transactions can be pursued in

liquidation

  • Employees may access the Fair Work

Entitlements Guarantee Scheme (“FEG”) if necessary Liquidation

  • In our report to creditors, we will either recommend a DOCA or liquidation
  • The Administrators are preparing for either outcome
