NOT FOR RELEASE OR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES
Dear Shareholder
Opportunity to participate in the Company's Share Purchase Plan
On behalf of the board of directors (Board) of Rocketboots Limited ACN 165 522 887 (ASX code: ROC) (Company or Rocketboots), I am pleased to offer Eligible Shareholders (as defined below) the opportunity to participate in the Company's share purchase plan (SPP or Share Purchase Plan).
As announced on 5 April 2024, the Company has completed a placement to sophisticated investors by the issue of approximately 3,555,000 new fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company at an issue price of $0.10 per share to raise approximately $355,500 before costs (Placement). The Company also wishes to offer our shareholders the opportunity under the SPP to participate at the same offer price as under the Placement.
The Share Purchase Plan gives Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to subscribe for up to $30,000 worth of new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (New Shares), in parcel sizes of $2,500; $5,000; $10,000, $20,000 or a maximum of $30,000, subject to the Company's allocation policy, without incurring any brokerage or transaction costs. The SPP has a maximum raise of $650,000 (Maximum Raise).
The Company is proposing to use the funds raised under the Placement and SPP towards the Company's general working capital requirements and specifically for the operational costs of previously announced customer trials in the UK, USA, Australia and New Zealand. Further details of these proposed uses are included in Section 2 of this Offer Booklet.
Issue Price
Eligible Shareholders may subscribe for up to $30,000 worth of New Shares under the SPP at an issue price per New Share of $0.10 per Share (Issue Price).
The Issue Price of $0.10 represents a:
- 9.1% discount to the last traded closing price of the Company's existing shares (Shares) on ASX on 4 April 2024, being the last closing price of Shares prior to the date the SPP was announced (i.e. closing price of $0.11); and
- 9.1% discount to the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of Shares calculated over the last 5 days in which trades in Shares were recorded on ASX preceding the date the SPP was announced (i.e. VWAP of $0.11).
The Issue Price for New Shares under the SPP is also the same price per Share that investors will pay for their Shares under the Placement.
Participation
Participation in the SPP is optional and open to Eligible Shareholders, including Eligible Shareholders who are custodians on behalf of "participating beneficiaries" (refer to section 13 of this Offer Booklet) on the terms and subject to the conditions of the SPP.
Other key terms and conditions
The Company will consider applications for New Shares under the SPP in order of receipt of applications ie. first in first considered. As such, Eligible Shareholders are encouraged to submit their applications early. The Company reserves the right to scale back or refuse applications under the SPP at its absolute discretion. Any such determination by the Board will be final.
If the Company scales back applications, you may be allocated less New Shares than you applied for. However, the excess application money which was not applied by the Company to purchase New Shares will be refunded to you (without interest). As detailed in the Terms and Conditions, the Company may take into account a number of factors in determining an applicant's final allocation of New Shares, including but not limited to the date on which applications are received.
Where the Company raises less than the $650,000 Maximum Raise, the Company also reserves the right to place the shortfall using the Company's existing capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1.
All New Shares issued under the SPP will rank equally with the Company's existing Shares from the SPP Issue Date (defined below).
The right to participate in the SPP is not transferable.

The SPP opens on Wednesday 10 April 2024 and, unless closed earlier or withdrawn by the Company, is expected to close at 5:00pm (AEST) on Wednesday 1 May 2024.
New Shares are expected to be issued on Wednesday 8 May 2024 and commence trading on ASX on a normal settlement basis on Thursday 9 May 2024.

1. What is the SPP?
The SPP gives Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to subscribe for up to $30,000 worth of New Shares at the Issue Price without incurring brokerage or other transaction costs.
New Shares issued under the SPP will rank equally with all other fully paid ordinary shares on issue in the capital of the Company from the SPP Issue Date.
The offer under the SPP will be made on the same terms and conditions to each Eligible Shareholder. To avoid doubt, all Eligible Shareholders will receive the same offer, irrespective of the number of Shares which they hold on the Record Date.
2. How much will be raised under the SPP and how will the funds be used?
The Company is seeking to raise up to approximately $650,000 million (before costs) under the SPP. The Company is proposing to use the funds raised under the SPP, together with funds raised under the Placement (of approximately $355,500), towards:

|---|---|
| Offer costs and working capital | $155,500 |
| Operational costs of customer trials being conducted in the UK, US,Australia and New Zealand | $850,000 |
3. Am I eligible to participate in the SPP?
You will be considered an "Eligible Shareholder" (and therefore you will be eligible to participate in the SPP) if you were a registered holder of Shares at 7:00pm (AEDT) on 4 April 2024 (Record Date) with a registered address either in Australia or New Zealand (provided that any such Shareholder is not acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States). The Board has determined that it is not practical for holders of Shares with registered addresses outside of Australia or New Zealand to participate in the SPP.
Shareholders who hold Shares on behalf of persons who reside outside of Australia or New Zealand or who are "US persons" as defined in Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (as amended) (Securities Act) or who act for the account or benefit of a US Person are not entitled to participate in the SPP. The New Shares to be issued under the SPP have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act (or any other act). Accordingly, shareholders who are located in the United States or who are acting for the account or benefit of, US Persons are not Eligible Shareholders and are therefore not entitled to participate in the SPP.
4. Do I have to participate?
No. Participation in the SPP is entirely voluntary. If you do not wish to participate in the SPP, do nothing.
5. How much can I invest and how many New Shares will be issued to me?
Under the SPP, you may apply for a parcel of New Shares from a minimum of $2,500 up to a maximum of $30,000 in parcels as follows:
| Number of New Shares | Application Monies (at $0.10 per New Share) |
|---|---|
| 25,000 | $2,500 |
| 50,000 | $5,000 |
| 100,000 | $10,000 |
| 200,000 | $20,000 |
| 300,000 | $30,000 |
The $30,000 limit applies irrespective of the number of Shares you hold on the Record Date. The number of New Shares to be issued to an applicant has been calculated by dividing the dollar value provided by the applicant by the Issue Price (subject to any scale back implemented at the discretion of the Company). No fractions of New Shares will be issued by the Company. Any fraction of a New Share will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares. Applications may be refused or scaled back by the Company as described in section 14 and 16.
6. Can I transfer my right to purchase New Shares?
No. The offer under the SPP is non-renounceable. This means that you cannot transfer your right to acquire New Shares under the SPP to anyone else.
7. Will New Shares issued under the SPP rank equally with my existing Shares?
Yes. New Shares issued under the SPP will rank equally with existing Shares and will carry the same voting rights, dividend rights and other entitlements as at the SPP Issue Date.
8. What is the Issue Price of the Shares?
Eligible Shareholders may subscribe for New Shares under the SPP at an issue price per New Share of $0.10 per Share. The Issue Price of $0.10 represents a:
- 9.1% discount to the last traded closing price of the Company's existing shares (Shares) on ASX on 4 April 2024, being the last closing price of Shares prior to the date the SPP was announced (i.e. closing price of $0.11); and
- 9.1% discount to the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of Shares calculated over the last 5 days in which trades in Shares were recorded on ASX preceding the date the SPP was announced (i.e. VWAP of $0.11).
An investment in Shares is a highly speculative investment, and the market price of Shares might rise or fall between the date of this SPP offer and the date the New Shares are issued to you (i.e. on the SPP Issue Date). This means that the price you pay for a New Share may be greater or less than the value or market price of Shares at the time those New Shares are issued.
The current Share price can be obtained from ASX at www.asx.com.au.
Your application for New Shares, once made, is irrevocable and may not be withdrawn even if the market price of Shares falls below the Issue Price. The offer to acquire New Shares under the SPP is not a recommendation. Before you decide whether to participate in the SPP, the Company recommends that you seek independent financial advice from your broker, accountant or other professional adviser without delay.
9. How do I apply for New Shares under the SPP?

No brokerage or other transaction costs are payable by participants in the SPP. These costs will be paid by the Company.

It is expected that New Shares will be issued on Wednesday 8 May 2024 and expect to be quoted on ASX on Thursday 9 May 2024 .
You should receive your updated holding statement shortly after the Issue Date.
12. I have several holdings. Can I purchase a separate parcel of New Shares for each holding?
If you receive more than one offer to participate in the SPP (for example, because you hold more than one shareholding under separate share accounts), the maximum you may invest under the SPP in all capacities is an aggregate of $30,000 across all offers. If you are a custodian however, see section 13 below.
If two or more persons are registered on the Company's register as jointly holding Shares, they are taken to be a single registered holder of Shares for the purposes of determining whether they are an Eligible Shareholder.
13. What do I do if I am a custodian?
If you are a custodian holding Shares as at the Record Date on behalf of one or more persons who reside in Australia or New Zealand (each, a participating beneficiary), you may apply for up to a maximum of $30,000 worth of New Shares for each participating beneficiary.
You must submit a Custodian Certificate that contains further certifications and details as required by the ASIC SPP Instrument before your SPP Application Form will be accepted. Applications by custodians that are not accompanied by a Custodian Certificate will be rejected.
By applying as a custodian on behalf of participating beneficiaries to purchase New Shares, you certify (amongst other things) that each participating beneficiary has not exceeded the $30,000 limit as required by the ASIC SPP Instrument.
To request a Custodian Certificate or to obtain further information about the custodian application process, please call the SPP Offer Information Line on +61 417 141 577 (between 9.00am to 5.00pm (AEST) Monday to Friday).
Custodians must not participate in the SPP on behalf of, and must not distribute this SPP Offer Booklet or any documents relating to the SPP to, any US Person. A custodian will be ineligible to participate in the SPP if their participation would be in breach of the ASIC SPP Instrument. Custodians should request a "Custodian Certificate" from the Company when making an application on behalf of a participating beneficiary.
If you hold Shares as a trustee or nominee for another person, but are not a custodian, you cannot participate for beneficiaries in the manner described in this section 13.
For the purposes of the SPP, a custodian is a "custodian" as that term is defined in the ASIC SPP Instrument.
14. Allocation policy
The Company aims to raise a maximum of up to approximately $650,000 million under the SPP (being the Maximum Raise). The Company will consider applications for New Shares under the SPP in order of receipt of applications ie. first in first considered. As such, Eligible Shareholders are encouraged to submit their applications early.
The Company reserves the right to scale back or refuse applications under the SPP, at its absolute discretion. Any determination by the Board will be final. The maximum aggregate number of Shares that will be issued under the SPP will not exceed 30% of the Company's issued fully paid ordinary shares.
If the Company decides to scale back applications, you may be allocated less New Shares than you applied for. However, the excess application money which is not applied by the Company to purchase New Shares will be refunded to you either by direct credit (if the Company has your bank account details) or by cheque as soon as practicable and without interest. When determining any scale back or rejection of applications, the Company may take into account a number of factors, including the size of the applicant's shareholding, the extent to which Eligible Shareholders have sold or purchased additional Shares after the Record Date, whether the applicant has multiple registered holdings and the date on which an application was made.
15. Changes and Termination
The Company may, in its discretion, change, suspend or terminate the SPP or the Terms and Conditions at any time, whether because of a change of law, ASIC requirements, ASX requirements or policy or any other circumstance relevant to the SPP or the Company. If the Company terminates the SPP, it will notify ASX and refund any application moneys received (without interest). Without limiting any other provision of these Terms and Conditions, the Board may vary the timetable for the SPP, including the Closing Date.
16. Refusal of applications and refunds
The Company reserves the right to reject any application for New Shares or issue a fewer number of New Shares subscribed for under the SPP by any applicant at the Company's complete and unfettered discretion, including if:
- the Company believes that the Terms and Conditions have not been complied with;
- the applicant is not an Eligible Shareholder; or
- the application might otherwise breach applicable law or the ASX Listing Rules.
The Company may at its absolute discretion either refund in full the application money and not issue any New Shares to the applicant, or issue to the applicant the number of New Shares which may be issued based on part of the payment made, and refund the excess to the applicant (without interest).
17. Discretion and Disputes
The Company reserves the right to waive strict compliance with the Terms and Conditions. Any powers or discretions of the Company may be exercised by the directors of the Company or any delegate of them. The Company may determine, in any manner it thinks fit, any difficulties, anomalies or disputes which may arise in connection with or by reason of the operation of the SPP whether generally or in relation to any participant or application.

Annexure: Risk Factors
This annexure outlines some (but not all) of the key risks associated with an investment in Rocketboots. Rocketboots' assets and business are subject to a number of risk factors both specific to its assets / business and of a general nature which may impact on its future performance and forecasts. This is not an exhaustive list of the relevant risks and the risks set out below are not in order of importance. Many of the risks below are outside the control of Rocketboots and its directors. These risks and other risks not specifically referred to below, may in the future materially adversely affect the value of Rocketboots shares and their performance. Accordingly, no assurance or guarantee of future performance or profitability is given by Rocketboots in respect of Rocketboots shares or Rocketboots' business / assets.
Before subscribing for Rocketboots Shares, prospective investors should carefully consider and evaluate Rocketboots, its assets and its business and whether Rocketboots Shares are suitable to acquire having regard to their own investment objectives and financial circumstances and taking into consideration the material risk factors, as set out below. There is no guarantee of the price at which Rocketboots Shares may trade in the future nor any dividends or returns of any nature.
In deciding whether to participate in the SPP, you should also read this Offer Booklet and all ASX announcements by the Company in their entirety and carefully consider the risks outlined in this annexure. Prospective investors should consult their technology, financial, tax and other professional advisers before making an investment decision.
Business risks
Sufficiency of funding: The Company currently has limited financial resources to fund operations. The Company is in the process of securing new contracts, including in overseas markets, in order to become cashflow positive. The ability to raise additional funds will be subject to, among other things, factors beyond the control of the Company and its Directors.
Business strategy execution risk: The Company is reliant on retaining its current pipeline of customers as well as winning contracts and developing relationships with new customers. This includes overseas customers. Onboarding of new customers requires significant initial investment on their behalf, which may discourage them from adopting BeeHive.
Reliance on key personnel: The Company depends to a significant extent on the ability, performance and experience of its key personnel. A loss of key personnel or an inability to recruit suitable replacements can have a material impact on the Company's leadership as well as its ability to onboard new customers. Rocketboots is dependent on key personnel to increase sales and develop its sales pipeline.
Competition: The Company faces risks associated with new entrants to the market, as well as current competitors. These risks include aggressive marketing campaigns, product innovation, price discounting, advances in technology and acquisitions. If any of these risks materialise, it could have a negative impact upon the Company's ability to compete in the market. Additionally, the Company exists in a relatively fast-paced industry and is at risk of new technology becoming available that supersedes BeeHive. This may result in lower competitiveness or discounting required to continue to drive sales.
Regulatory risk: The Company and its products are subject to various laws and regulations, including accounting standards, taxes, cybersecurity and privacy laws. Changes in these laws could negatively affect financial performance. Additionally, laws are specific to each geographic location, and the Company has expanded into both the US and UK markets. There is a risk that the Company is not compliant with new, unfamiliar laws in these locations.
Trade secrets: RocketBoots relies on its trade secrets. The protective measures that RocketBoots employs may not provide adequate protection for its trade secrets. This could erode the Company's competitive advantage and materially harm its business. The Company cannot be certain that others will not independently develop the same or similar products, services or technologies on their own or gain access to trade secrets or disclose such products, services or technologies, or that the Company will be able to meaningfully protect its trade secrets and unpatented know-how and keep them secret.
Infringement of third party IP: If a third party accuses RocketBoots or the Company of infringing its IP rights or if a third party commences litigation against RocketBoots or the Company for the infringement of patent or other IP rights, the Company may incur significant costs in defending such action, whether or not it ultimately prevails. Costs that the Company incurs in defending third party infringement actions would also include diversion of management's and technical personnel's time. In addition, parties making claims against the Company may be able to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief that could prevent the Company from further developing discoveries or commercialising its technologies, products or services. In the event of a successful claim of infringement against the Company, it may be required to pay damages and obtain one or more licenses from the prevailing third party. If it is not able to obtain these licenses at a reasonable cost, if at all, it could encounter delays in technologies, product and service introductions and loss of substantial resources while it attempts to develop alternative technologies, products or services. Defence of any lawsuit or failure to obtain any of these licenses could prevent the Company or its partners from commercialising available technologies, products or services and could cause it to incur substantial expenditure.
General risks
Share Price Fluctuations: The market price of Rocketboots shares will fluctuate due to various factors, many of which are non-specific to Rocketboots, including recommendations by brokers and analysts, Australian and international general economic conditions, inflation rates, interest rates, changes in government, fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies, global geo-political events and hostilities and acts of terrorism, and investor perceptions. Fluctuations such as these may adversely affect the market price of Rocketboots shares. Neither Rocketboots nor the directors warrant the future performance of Rocketboots or any return on investment in Rocketboots.
Dilution Risk: Eligible shareholders that do not take up all or part of their entitlements will be diluted by not participating to the full extent in the SPP Offer and by the institutional Placement, but and will not be exposed to future increases or decreases in Rocketboots' share price in respect of those shares which would have been issued to them had they taken up all of their SPP entitlements.
Economic Risks: Rocketboots is exposed to economic factors in the ordinary course of business. A number of economic factors / conditions, both domestic and global, affect the performance of financial markets generally, which could affect the price at which Rocketboots Shares trade on ASX. Among other things, adverse changes in macroeconomic conditions, including movements on international and domestic stock markets, interest rates, exchange rates, pandemics, cost and availability of credit, general consumption and consumer spending, input costs, employment rates and industrial disruptions, inflation and inflationary expectations and overall economic conditions, economic cycles, investor sentiment, political events and levels of economic growth, both domestically and internationally, as well as government taxation, fiscal, monetary, regulatory and other policy changes may affect the demand for, and price of, Rocketboots Shares and adversely impact Rocketboots' business, financial position and operating results. Trading prices can be volatile and volatility can be caused by general market risks such as those that have been mentioned. Shares in Rocketboots may trade at or below the price at which they are currently commence trading on ASX including as a result of any of the factors that have been mentioned, and factors such as those mentioned may also affect the income, expenses and liquidity of Rocketboots. Additionally, the stock market can experience price and volume fluctuations that may be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of Rocketboots.
Dividend Guidance: No assurances can be given in relation to the payment of future dividends. Future determinations as to the payment of dividends by Rocketboots will be at the discretion of Rocketboots and will depend upon Rocketboots achieving profits, the then financial conditions of Rocketboots, future capital requirements, covenants in relevant financing agreements, general business and financial conditions and any other factors considered relevant at the time by Rocketboots.
Forward-Looking Statements: There can be no guarantee that the assumptions and contingencies on which any forward-looking statements, opinions and estimates contained in materials published by Rocketboots are based will ultimately prove to be valid or accurate. The forward-looking statements, opinions and estimates depend on various factors, including known and unknown risks, many of which are outside the control of Rocketboots. Actual performance of Rocketboots may materially differ from forecast performance.
