LETTER FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR

Dear Shareholder,

Ovato Limited (Ovato or Company) is proposing to offer new ordinary shares to existing Shareholders with a registered address in Australia and New Zealand by way of a pro rata entitlement offer with a back-end bookbuild (Entitlement Offer) to raise approximately A$40 million, which is partially underwritten up to A$35 million.

Eligible Shareholders will be invited to take up all or part of their Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer at the Offer Price. Eligible Shareholders may also apply for additional Shares in excess of their Entitlements at the Offer Price via the Top Up Facility.

Wilsons Corporate Finance Limited (ABN 65 057 547 323) and Aitken Murray Capital Partners Pty Ltd (ABN 39 169 972 436) (Underwriters) have agreed to partially underwrite the Entitlement Offer and act as joint lead managers, and, in turn, the Hannan Family (as defined in Section 5.4 below) and Are Media Pty Limited (each a Sub-Underwriters) will sub-underwrite the Entitlement Offer.

The directors of Ovato are pleased to invite you to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

Details of the Entitlement Offer

Under the Entitlement Offer, Eligible Shareholders are invited to participate in the Entitlement Offer to acquire 10.93 New Shares for every 1 existing Ovato ordinary share (Shares) held on the record date, being 7:00 pm (Sydney time) on Friday, 4 December 2020 (Record Date).

The Offer Price of $0.005 represents a discount of:

  • 61.5% to the one-month VWAP2 of Ovato's shares traded on ASX based on the closing price of Ovato's shares as at Monday, 30 November 2020; and
  • 61.5% to the closing price of Ovato's shares as at Wednesday, 11 November 2020 (being the day before the announcement of the proposed Ovato restructure to ASX).

Eligible Shareholders may also apply for additional new shares in excess of their Entitlement (Additional New Shares) under the top up offer (Top Up Facility) (refer to Section 3.5(ii) of this Entitlement Offer Booklet). The allocation of the Additional New Shares will be at the discretion of Ovato. If the Eligible Shareholders fail to subscribe for all of the New Shares under the Entitlement Offer, Ovato may offer an equivalent number of Shares (to the balance of New Shares not taken up) to sophisticated and/or professional investors (under section 708 of the Corporations Act) under a bookbuild (Bookbuild).

Following discussions with ASX in relation to the Entitlement Offer, on 4 December 2020 Ovato requested a voluntary suspension of trading of Ovato Shares on the ASX. It is expected that the voluntary suspension will continue until 29 December 2020, being the date that New Shares are expected to commence trading on a normal settlement basis.

The Entitlement Offer is expected to raise up to an estimated $40 million. New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer will rank equally with existing Shares.

How To Apply?

Accompanying this Entitlement Offer Booklet is your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form which contains details about your Entitlement.

The Entitlement Offer closes at 5.00 pm (Sydney time) on Thursday, 17 December 2020. To participate, you should ensure that you have completed your application by paying the relevant monies by BPAY® before this time in the manner described in this Entitlement Offer Booklet.

2 VWAP means the volume weighted average price.

6

Further information about how to apply for New Shares is set out in Section 3.

If you do not wish to take up any of your Entitlement, you do not have to take any action.

Participation by the Hannan Family and Board Members

The Hannan Family (as defined in Section 5.4 below) (who, as at 30 November 2020, have a relevant interest in Ovato of 53.8%), have agreed to sub-underwrite the Entitlement Offer, up to an amount of A$25 million.

Due to the sub-underwriting services to be provided by the Hannan Family, the Entitlement Offer may have an effect on the control of Ovato. In the event no Shareholders take up their Entitlements and the Hannan Family subscribes for all of the New Shares and Additional New Shares allocated to them under the Entitlement Offer and sub-underwriting arrangements with the Underwriters, then the Hannan Family's relevant interest may increase by approximately 21.5% to approximately 75.3%. See Section 5.4 for further information on the potential control impacts of the Entitlement Offer on Ovato.

All Ovato directors who hold shares in Ovato and the CEO intend to participate in the Entitlement Offer and fully (except for Dhun Karai who will partly) take up their entitlements. Being both a director and a Hannan Family member, Michael Hannan will be participating in the Entitlement Offer through his sub-underwriter role.

Further Information

Further information on the Entitlement Offer is detailed in this Entitlement Offer Booklet.

You should carefully read this Entitlement Offer Booklet in its entirety and consult your stockbroker, accountant or other professional adviser before making your investment decision. In particular, you should read and consider the Key Risks section of the Ovato Investor Presentation included in Section 4.2 of this Entitlement Offer Booklet, which contains a summary of some of the key risks associated with an investment in Ovato.

If you have any questions in respect of the Entitlement Offer, please call Ovato's share registry manager, Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited, on 1300 556 161 (within Australia) or +61 3 9415 4000 (outside Australia).

Yours sincerely,

9

You should read this Entitlement Offer Booklet carefully before making any decisions in relation to your Entitlement.

The Entitlement Offer is partly underwritten by the Underwriters. Further details on the Entitlement Offer are set out below.

  1. The Entitlement Offer
    Under the Entitlement Offer, Eligible Shareholders are invited to apply for 10.93 New Shares for every 1 existing Share held as at the Record Date at the Offer Price of $0.005 per New Share.
    The Entitlement Offer opens at 9.00 am (Sydney time) 8 December 2020 and is scheduled to close at 5.00 pm (Sydney time) on 17 December 2020. Following the close of the Entitlement Offer, the Bookbuild will be conducted by the Underwriters.
  2. Your Entitlement
    Your Entitlement is set out on the accompanying personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and has been calculated as 10.93 New Shares for every 1 existing Share you held as at the Record Date (rounded up, if necessary, to the nearest whole number of New Shares).
    If you have more than one registered holding of Shares, you will be sent more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and you will have a separate Entitlement for each separate holding.
    Eligible Shareholders who do not wish to take up their Entitlement will not be able to trade their Entitlement. All Entitlements that are not taken up by Eligible Shareholders under the Entitlement Offer will form part of the Bookbuild.
    New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer will be fully paid and rank equally in all respects with existing Shares.
    See Sections 5.1 and 5.13 for information on restrictions on participation.
  3. Consider the Entitlement Offer carefully in light of your particular investment objectives and circumstances

The Entitlement Offer is being made pursuant to provisions of the Corporations Act which allow entitlement offers to be made without a prospectus. This Entitlement Offer Booklet does not contain all of the information which may be required in order to make an informed decision regarding an application for New Shares offered under the Entitlement Offer. As a result, it is important for you to read carefully and understand the information on Ovato and the Entitlement Offer made publicly available, prior to deciding whether to take up all or part of your Entitlement or do nothing in respect of your Entitlement. In particular, please refer to this Entitlement Offer Booklet and other announcements by Ovato made available at www.asx.com.au (including announcements which may be made by Ovato after publication of this Entitlement Offer Booklet).

Please consult with your stockbroker, accountant or other professional adviser if you have any queries or are uncertain about any aspect of the Entitlement Offer. You should also refer to the Key Risks section of the Ovato Investor Presentation included in Section 4.2 of this Entitlement Offer Booklet.

3.5 Options available to you

If you are an Eligible Shareholder, you may take any of the following actions. Each of these options may have a materially different outcome on any value you receive in respect of your Entitlement.

10

You may:

  1. take up all or part of your Entitlement;
  2. take up all of your Entitlement and apply for Additional New Shares (see Section 3.5(a)); or
  3. do nothing and let your Entitlement lapse.
  1. If you wish to take up all or part of your Entitlement or if you wish to take up all of your Entitlement and participate in the Top Up Facility

If you wish to take up all or part of your Entitlement, please pay your Application Monies via BPAY® by following the instructions set out on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Payment is due by no later than 5.00 pm (Sydney time) on 17 December 2020. Amounts received by Ovato in excess of the Offer Price multiplied by your Entitlement will be treated as an application to apply for as many Additional New Shares as your Application Monies will pay for in full. The Top Up Facility is not capped but no Eligible Shareholder may receive any Additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility which would result in the relevant Shareholder having voting power in Ovato in excess of 20%.

If you take up and pay for all or part of your Entitlement before the close of the Entitlement Offer, it is expected that you will be issued New Shares on 24 December 2020. Ovato's decision on the number of New Shares to be issued to you will be final.

If you apply for Additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility and if your application is successful (in whole or in part), your Additional New Shares will be issued to you at the same time that other New Shares are issued under the Entitlement Offer. Additional New Shares will only be allocated to Eligible Shareholders if available. If you apply for Additional New Shares, there is no guarantee that you will be allocated any Additional New Shares. The Directors may apply any scale back and reserve their right to allot and issue Additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility at their discretion. Ovato will not issue Additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility, where to do so would be likely to result in a breach of its constitution, the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules.

Ovato also reserves the right (in its absolute discretion) to reduce the number of New Shares issued to Eligible Shareholders, or persons claiming to be Eligible Shareholders, if Ovato believes their claims to be overstated or if they or their nominees fail to provide information to substantiate their claims to Ovato's satisfaction.

Refund amounts, if any, will be paid in Australian dollars. You will be paid any refund amount (without interest) by cheque made payable to the applicant sent by ordinary post to your address as recorded on the share register.

See Section 5.2 for further information about the Top Up Facility and the allocation policy adopted by Ovato for Additional New Shares subscribed for pursuant to the Top Up Facility.

  1. If you take no action

If you take no action you will not be allocated New Shares and your Entitlement will lapse. Your Entitlement (or the proportion of your Entitlement) not taken up will lapse, and you may not receive any payment or value for those Entitlements you do not take up. To the extent that the Entitlements are sold for value, net of expenses, under the Bookbuild, you will receive value for your lapsed Entitlements. There can be no certainty you will receive value for your lapsed Entitlements.

11

Any New Shares that you would have otherwise been entitled to under the Entitlement Offer (or New Shares that relate to the portion of your Entitlement that has not been taken up) may be issued (subject to demand for them) under the Bookbuild, or otherwise will be subscribed for by the Sub-Underwriters. Eligible Shareholders who do not wish to take up their Entitlement will not be able to trade their Entitlement.

Eligible Shareholders who do not participate fully in the Entitlement Offer will have their percentage holding in Ovato reduced.

  1. Ineligible Shareholders

  2. Ineligible Shareholders are Shareholders as at the Record Date who are not Eligible Shareholders.
  3. Payment

  4. Payment must be made using BPAY®.
    Cash or any other form of payments will not be accepted. Receipts for payment will not be issued.
    Ovato will treat you as applying for as many New Shares as your payment will pay for in full up to your Entitlement, with amounts in excess of the Offer Price multiplied by your Entitlement being treated as an application to apply for as many Additional New Shares as your Application Monies will pay for in full.
    Any Application Monies received for more than your final allocation of New Shares will be refunded as soon as practicable after the close of the Entitlement Offer. No interest will be paid to applicants on any Application Monies received or refunded.
  5. Payment by BPAY®

    • For payment by BPAY®, please follow the instructions on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. You can only make payment via BPAY® if you are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY® transactions.
      When paying by BPAY®, please make sure you use the specific Biller Code and your unique Customer Reference Number (CRN) on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. If you have multiple holdings and consequently receive more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, when taking up your Entitlement in respect of one of those holdings only use the CRN specific to that holding. If you do not use the correct CRN specific to that holding, your application will not be recognised as valid.
      Please note that by paying by BPAY®:
    • you do not need to submit your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to make the declarations, representations and warranties set out in that Entitlement and Acceptance Form and in Section 3.9 of this Entitlement Offer Booklet;
    • if you do not pay for your full Entitlement, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of such whole number of New Shares which is covered in full by your Application Monies; and
    • if you pay for more than your full Entitlement, the excess of the Offer Price multiplied by your Entitlement will be treated as an application to apply for as many Additional New Shares as your Application Monies will pay for in full.

12

It is your responsibility to ensure that your BPAY® payment is received by the Share Registry by no later than 5.00 pm (Sydney time) on 17 December 2020. You should be aware that your financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regard to electronic payment, and you should therefore take this into consideration in the timing of when you make payment.

3.9 Representations by acceptance

  2. acknowledge that you have read and understand this Entitlement Offer Booklet and your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form in their entirety;
  3. agree to be bound by the terms of the Entitlement Offer, the provisions of this Entitlement Offer Booklet and Ovato's constitution;

4. ASX ANNOUNCEMENTS

4.1 Offer launch announcement dated 1 December 2020

1 December 2020

Ovato Limited announces Entitlement Offer to raise approximately $40.0m with up to $35.0m conditionally underwritten

Ovato Limited (ASX: OVT) (Ovato or the Company) is pleased to advise that it has launched a conditional and partially underwritten pro rata renounceable entitlement offer to existing shareholders, offering 10.93 new fully paid ordinary shares in Ovato for every 1 share held at the record date (New Shares) at $0.005 (0.5 cents) per New Share (Offer Price) to raise gross proceeds of up to approximately $40.0 million (Entitlement Offer). The Entitlement Offer forms one element of the proposed Company restructure that was announced to the ASX on Thursday, 12 November 2020 (Restructure).

The funds from the Entitlement Offer, together with approximately $17.0m from a new secured debt facility, will be applied by Ovato towards the exit of onerous leases, operational initiatives, cash backing of remaining bank guarantees, headcount rationalisation, repayment on overdraft facility, payment of transaction fees and the availability of new balance sheet working capital liquidity.

These uses of capital will significantly strengthen the Company's balance sheet by reducing leverage and providing additional financial flexibility.

Based on the Company's 30 October 2020 balance sheet, post the Entitlement Offer (and assuming a $40m final amount raised), the Company's pro-forma net debt excluding specific onerous lease liabilities will be $37.8m, and $44.6m including specific onerous lease liabilities. These amounts may be further reduced if debt for equity conversions occur relating to certain liabilities, with such conversions being subject to a shareholder vote expected to occur in Q1 2021.

Restructure

As previously announced to ASX, Ovato is currently working towards a proposed restructure of the broader Ovato group, part of which comprises the Entitlement Offer.

The Restructure also involves Creditors' and Members' Schemes of Arrangement (Schemes). The final court date in relation to these Schemes is scheduled for Friday, 18 December 2020. The underwriting and completion of the Entitlement Offer is conditional upon a number of factors, including the successful court approval of the Schemes on that date.

Entitlement Offer overview

The Entitlement Offer seeks to raise $40.0m of which a minimum of $32.2m and up to $35.0m has been conditionally and partially underwritten by Wilsons Corporate Finance Limited (ACN 057 547 323) (Wilsons) and Aitken Murray Capital Partners Pty Limited (ACN 169 972 436) (AMCPS) (together the Joint Lead Managers), who are acting as Joint Lead Managers and Underwriters to the Entitlement Offer.

Ovato Limited - ABN 39 050 148 644

16

Conditional sub-underwriting of the Entitlement Offer is being provided by:

  • $25.0m from Michael Hannan, James Hannan, Sayman Pty Ltd in its capacity as trustee of the Lindsay Hannan Family Trust, Adrian O'Connor and Richard O'Connor (together the Hannan Family); and
  • up to $10.0m from Are Media Pty Limited (Are Media), subject to Are Media obtaining approval under the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975 (Cth) (FIRB Approval)1,
    (together the Sub-Underwriters).

The Hannan Family (including Lindsay Hannan) currently has a relevant interest of 53.8% in the Company. If the Hannan Family is fully allocated $25.0m worth of New Shares and the final amount raised under the Entitlement Offer is $40.0m, the Hannan Family's relevant interest in the Company would increase to 61.8%. If the Hannan Family is fully allocated $25.0m worth of New Shares and the final amount raised under the Entitlement Offer is a reduced minimum of $32.2m, the Hannan Family's relevant interest in the Company would increase to 75.3%. This would provide the Hannan Family with the ability to pass matters requiring shareholder approval by special resolution.

However, as a component of the Restructure, Ovato is in negotiations with the holders of secured, but subordinated, notes (Notes) to provide for the conversion of the Notes into equity in the form of Ovato ordinary shares. Similarly, Ovato is in negotiations with landlords to agree a compromise in respect of liabilities under certain leases (Leases). In connection with the Notes and the Leases, Ovato is proposing to undertake a further dilutionary share issue for the purposes of converting, from debt to equity, certain amounts owed under the Notes and certain reduced lease liabilities, subject in each case to Ovato obtaining shareholder approval for the purposes of item 7 of section 611 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act). In addition, as certain entities related to the Hannan Family are the holders of Notes as well as being landlords to the property of the relevant lease liabilities, the Hannan Family will not be able to participate in the votes to approve the debt for equity conversions pursuant to which the Hannan Family will be issued shares. While exact details regarding the number and percentage of shares to be issued will be provided in the notice of meeting for the purposes of shareholder approval to be sought under item 7, section 611 of the Corporation Act, this would have the effect of reducing the Hannan Family's voting power in Ovato below 75% and would likely result in the Hannan Family's voting power in Ovato falling back to approximately its 53% voting power.

Are Media does not currently have a relevant interest in the Company. If Are Media's final share allocation under the Entitlement Offer is reduced due to FIRB Approval not having been obtained at the time the Entitlement Offer closes (in which case Are Media will be allocated a maximum of 19.99% of the diluted Ovato share capital post the Entitlement Offer), the relevant number of unallocated New Shares will be placed to Are Media at the Offer Price in approximately Q1 2021, when it is expected that the limitation will not be breached (and subject to any required shareholder vote or other regulatory requirements).

If Are Media is fully allocated $10.0m worth of New Shares and the final amount raised under the Entitlement Offer is $40.0m, Are Media would have a relevant interest of 22.9% in the Company. If Are Media is fully allocated $10.0m worth of New Shares and the final amount raised under the Entitlement Offer is $35.0m, Are Media would have a relevant interest of 25.9% in the Company.

Should certain conditions to the underwriting and sub-underwriting not be satisfied, the underwriters or sub-underwriters will be able to terminate their underwriting or sub-underwriting

1 If FIRB Approval is not obtained, Are Media Pty Limited's sub-underwritten amount will be a minimum of $7.2m and the total underwritten amount by the Joint Lead Managers in the Entitlement Offer will be a minimum of $32.2m.

(as applicable) of the Entitlement Offer. In this circumstance the Entitlement Offer may be withdrawn.2

Each of the Directors who hold Shares in Ovato and the CEO intend to participate in the Entitlement Offer and fully (except for Dhun Karai, who will partly) take up their entitlements. Being both a Director and a Hannan Family member, Michael Hannan will be participating in the Entitlement Offer through his sub-underwriter role.

New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer will rank equally with existing fully paid ordinary shares in Ovato.

Under the Entitlement Offer, eligible Ovato shareholders may subscribe for 10.93 New Shares for every 1 Ovato share held at the record date of 7:00pm (Sydney time) on Friday, 4 December 2020 (Record Date) at the Offer Price per new share (Entitlement).

The Offer Price represents a 61.5% discount to the one-month volume weighted average price (VWAP) of Ovato shares to Monday, 30 November 2020, and a discount of 61.5% to the closing price of Ovato shares on Wednesday, 11 November 2020, being the day before the ASX announcement of the Restructure

The Entitlement Offer will be open from Tuesday, 8 December 2020 to Thursday, 17 December 2020. Entitlements not taken up by existing eligible shareholders, and entitlements of ineligible shareholders (together the Shortfall Shares), will be offered to eligible existing shareholders by way of a top-up facility (Top-UpFacility), allowing eligible existing shareholders to apply for further New Shares in excess of their Entitlements. Shortfall Shares will also be offered to new and existing institutional investors by way of a shortfall bookbuild (Shortfall Bookbuild) which will be conducted by the Joint Lead Managers on or around Friday, 18 December 2020. The price for Shortfall Shares will be determined under the Shortfall Bookbuild and will be the highest price, which must not be lower than the Offer Price, that will allow for all of the Shortfall Shares to be sold under the Shortfall Bookbuild (Bookbuild Price).

If the Bookbuild Price equals the Offer Price, existing eligible shareholders who applied for additional shares under the Top-Up Facility will be given priority on allocation of Shortfall Shares. To the extent that the Bookbuild Price exceeds the Offer Price, the net proceeds of the sale of the Shortfall Shares will be distributed to those ineligible existing shareholders and those eligible existing shareholders who did not take up all or some of the entitlements, on a pro rata basis.

In the event that there are Shortfall Shares remaining after shares have been allocated under the Shortfall Bookbuild, the Sub-Underwriters will acquire the remaining shares as sub-underwriters, each up to a maximum of their sub-underwritten value.

Ovato expects to announce the outcome of the Entitlement Offer to ASX prior to market open on Monday, 21 December 2020.

E Q U I T Y C A P I TA L R A I S I N G O V E R V I E W

Company

Ovato is a leading, integrated print, distribution and marketing company. The Company's vision is to create a smarter and sustainable business providing integrated

marketing services that turn audiences into customers

restructure

A restructure of the Company has been proposed to reset the business with the aim of improving its financial and operational outlook

Ovato is undertaking a 10.93 for 1 pro rata entitlement offer ('Entitlement Offer') at $0.005 per share ('Offer Price') to raise approximately $40.0m

Entitlement offer

Entitlements not taken up and entitlements that would have been offered to ineligible shareholders, will be sold in a bookbuild that is expected to be conducted by

the Underwriters on Friday, 18 December 2020 ('Bookbuild')

Up to $35.0m (and at least $32.2m) of the total Entitlement Offer size of $40.0m has been underwritten by Wilsons Corporate Finance Limited (ACN 057 547 323)

('Wilsons') and Aitken Murray Capital Partners Pty Limited (ACN 169 972 436) ('AMCPS') (together the 'Underwriters')

Major shareholder, the Hannan family (comprising of Sayman Pty Ltd as trustee for the Lindsay Hannan Family Trust, Michael Hannan, James Hannan, Adrian

O'Connor and Richard O'Connor, collectively the 'Hannan Family'), has agreed to sub-underwrite $25.0m of the Entitlement Offer (under the Entitlement Offer the

Partial

Hannan Family will have entitlements to New Shares valued at $21.5m)

underwriting

Are Media Pty Ltd ('Are Media') has agreed to sub-underwrite up to $10.0m of the Entitlement Offer. The extent of Are Media's sub-underwriting is subject to FIRB

approval. If Are Media's final share allocation as sub-underwriter is reduced due to FIRB approval not having been obtained at the time the Entitlement Offer settles

(in which case Are Media will be allocated a maximum of 19.99% of the diluted Ovato share capital post the Entitlement Offer and the underwritten amount will be

$32.2m instead of $35.0m), the relevant number of unallocated shares will be placed to Are Media in approximately Q1 2021, when it is expected that the limitation

will not be breached, and subject to any required shareholder vote or other regulatory requirements

Underwriting

Shareholders should note that the Underwriting Agreement (and underlying Sub-Underwriting Agreements) are subject to a number of conditions (together the

'Underwriting Conditions')

conditionality

Shareholders should review this presentation for details on Underwriting Conditions, as well as the key risks of the Entitlement Offer outlined in the Appendix

The proceeds from the Entitlement Offer, together with approximately $17.0m from a new (replacement) debt facility, will be applied towards the exit of onerous

leases, cash backing of remaining bank guarantees, operational initiatives, headcount rationalisation, repayment on overdraft facility, the payment of transaction fees

and the availability of new balance sheet working capital liquidity

Use of proceeds

These uses of capital will significantly strengthen the Company's balance sheet by reducing leverage and providing additional financial flexibility

Based on the Company's 31 October 2020 balance sheet, post the Entitlement Offer (and assuming a $40.0m final amount raised) and based on current

assumptions regarding future outcomes of negotiations with financiers / creditors, landlords and other stakeholders regarding the Company's restructure, the

Company's net debt excluding specific onerous lease liabilities will be $37.8m, and $44.6m including specific onerous lease liabilities

As noted above, major shareholder, the Hannan Family, is sub-underwriting $25.0m of the Entitlement Offer

Major shareholder

If the entire $25.0m is taken up by the Hannan Family, this will result in their shareholding increasing from 53.8% to between 61.8% and 75.3%, dependent on the

and Director

final amount raised between $40.0m and $32.2m (and pre reduction resulting from proposed debt to equity conversions in Q1 2021)

In addition, each of the Directors who hold Shares in Ovato and the CEO intend to participate in the Entitlement Offer and fully (except for Dhun Karai, who will partly)

participation

take up their entitlements. Being both a Director and a Hannan Family member, Michael Hannan will be participating in the Entitlement Offer through his sub-

underwriter role

28

K E Y U N D E R W R I T I N G C O N D I T I O N S

The Underwriters' obligations in respect of the Offer are subject to all Underwriting Conditions being either satisfied or waived, including that the Schemes are approved by the Court

It is expected that the final satisfaction or waiver of the Underwriting Conditions (other than Court approval of the Schemes) will be known by the close of the Entitlement Offer on 17 December 2020.

The final Court hearing of the Schemes is scheduled for Friday, 18 December 2020

The Entitlement Offer is therefore opening and closing before it will be known whether the Underwriting Condition requiring Court approval of the Schemes will be satisfied

If all of the Underwriting Condition are not satisfied or waived in full, the Offer may not complete

Conditions

The key Underwriting Conditions are:

All Schemes receiving court approval (outcome expected to be known on Friday, 18 December 2020)

Underwriting Conditions relating to the restructure of Ovato, including those set out below which must be satisfied or waived by Wednesday, 16 December 2020

a) Ovato undertaking to repay ANZ as the first ranking secured lender to Ovato

b) a compromise and agreement for a conversion of debt to equity with the noteholders of secured, but subordinated, notes issued by Ovato

c) ANZ and Scottish Pacific (current provider of a receivables financing facility to Ovato) consenting to the Schemes

d) a financier lending approximately $17.0m in additional funds to Ovato

e) a compromise or arrangement of the debt owing to Commerzbank (an equipment finance lender to Ovato)

f) various landlords to Ovato agreeing to compromises to their respective leases

If all Underwriting Conditions are either satisfied or waived, and the Underwriting Agreement is not terminated, the Entitlement Offer is expected to complete on

Settlement of

Wednesday, 23 December 2020

Entitlement Offer

If all Underwriting Conditions are not satisfied or waived, and the Underwriting Agreement is terminated, Ovato may withdraw the Entitlement Offer in which

circumstance application monies will be returned to subscribing shareholders

Eligible shareholders who take up their entitlement in full may also apply for additional New Shares at the Offer Price in excess of their entitlement under the Top Up

Top Up Facility

Facility

The number of any additional New Shares will be limited to the number of New Shares for which valid applications are not received before the Entitlement Offer

closes and the number of New Shares which would have been offered to ineligible shareholders, had they been eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer

The Underwriters have been appointed as broker to the Entitlement offer to undertake a back-end bookbuild to sell entitlements not taken up and entitlements that

would have been offered to ineligible shareholders

The Underwriters will invite applications for shortfall securities, at a price which is not less than the Offer Price, from institutional and/or sophisticated investors

Shortfall Bookbuild If the bookbuild does not realise any value for the entitlements, eligible shareholders who applied for additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility will be given priority for allocation of shortfall securities

  • Any New Shares not placed through the Bookbuild will, subject to the Underwriting and Sub-Underwriting Agreements, be acquired by the Sub-Underwriters
  • The amount realised for Entitlements sold in the Bookbuild (if any) will be distributed to renouncing or ineligible shareholders

R E S T R U C T U R E C O S T S A V I N G S F R O M H E A D C O U N T A N D P R O P E R T Y

Redundancy and onerous lease costs have historically consumed significant OVT cashflows. As part of the proposed restructure, headcount will be rationalised and OVT has already commenced operation of a new EBA that significantly reduces go-forward redundancy costs and provides operational flexibility. A number of onerous property leases are also being negotiated to be settled and exited.

29

Redundancy terms for 'blue collar' (non - NES) Australian workers

  • A new enterprise bargaining agreement ('EBA') relating to the majority of the Company's blue collar workers commenced on 13 November 2020
  • A key outcome of the new EBA is a reduction of required redundancy costs, which has hindered labour downsizing initiatives in the past and consumed substantial Company cashflow. The new EBA allows Ovato to respond in a more cost effective way to future fluctuations in staffing requirements
  • Under the new EBA, all future redundancy costs will reduce by more than 50% compared to the previous EBA and greater flexibility has been obtained relating to the use of casual labour and the changing of shift structures to manage seasonal volumes in the industry

Headcount rationalisation cost savings

  • As a result of the planned closure of heat-set printing operations at the Clayton site, headcount rationalisation will take place impacting employees working at the site (primarily across the Print Australia operations) and the heat-set production at the site is expected to cease before Christmas 2020
  • A total of approximately 300 staff will be impacted due to the closure of the Clayton site and broader rationalisation including off-site head office and support function employees
  • The employee expense cost that is expected to be saved as a result is approximately $25.0m per annum

Restructuring of property leases

  • As part of the proposed restructure, Ovato plans to exit a number of leases/sites which will significantly reduce annual lease costs and onerous lease liabilities
  • The leases being exited or renegotiated are either linked to sites that are already mostly subleased (but at less than Ovato's head lease cost) and that are no longer required by the Company or relate to the Clayton site with its heat-set printing operations ceasing and production being moved to Warwick Farm
  • The restructuring of property leases will lead to a reduction in recurring rental payments. Closure of heat-set printing operations at Clayton will result in a reduction of Ovato's production capacity allowing for a re-alignment of market supply with demand and provide for more stable pricing
  • Negotiations with landlords remain ongoing, but current indications are that Ovato may secure net lease savings1 of c. $6.8m p.a., and a reduction of c. $26.0m in related property balance sheet liabilities

Note 1: Net lease savings refers to the cost of the lease to Ovato after subtracting the income from sub leases and the proportion of the premises/lease required for go-forward Retail Distribution operations.

( I N C L U D I N G W R I T E O F F S , D E F E R R A L S , E Q U I T Y C O N V E R S I O N S )

As part of the restructure, compromises are required with various Company financiers / creditors. Compromises may include debt write offs, deferrals and conversion into equity (at the same price per share as the Entitlement Offer). Negotiations are ongoing. Any final conversion to equity would also remain subject to a shareholder vote in approximately Q1 2021.

Comments to proposed write of fs and debt to equity conversions

  1. Negotiations are ongoing. Final proposed compromise will be voted on by noteholders in advance of the settlement of the Entitlement Offer. A Noteholder compromise is an Underwriting Condition.
  2. Current proposed compromises include convertibility into equity of written down notes liability and the written down Lidcombe lease liability (at the Offer Price). Final equity conversion will remain subject to the approval of OVT shareholders post the settlement of the Entitlement Offer. If the Entitlement Offer completes, an extraordinary general meeting ('EGM') is expected to occur in approximately Q1 2021 for shareholders to vote. If shareholders do not approve conversion into equity, the remaining value of the notes (at the written down value) and the remaining value of the Lidcombe lease liability (at the written down value) will remain on the Company's balance sheet. If shareholders approve the conversion into equity, there will be a further issue of ordinary shares in Ovato. The exact number of such shares will be further described in the notice of meeting for the EGM. It is currently contemplated that a representative of Noteholders may be provided with an OVT board seat when the debt to equity conversion occurs.
  3. Negotiations are ongoing. A compromise with various landlords (including Lidcombe landlord) is an Underwriting Condition.
  4. To involve a compromise or arrangement of the debt owing to Commerzbank. A compromise with Commerzbank is an Underwriting Condition.

The Underwriting and Sub-Underwriting Agreements include conditions related to the outcome of negotiations with different Company stakeholders including financiers / creditors, landlords and potential providers of debt capital. If these conditions are not satisfied or waived by the Underwriter and Sub- Underwriters and the Underwriting Agreement is terminated, Ovato may withdraw the Entitlement Offer in which case the Entitlement Offer will not complete.

Ovato believe the key initiatives being implemented as part of the restructure will 'reset' Ovato's operations and balance sheet to improve the ongoing stability and financial performance of the Company.

32

Key initiatives

Consolidate production capacity and improve operating efficiencies

Reduce cost base and provide flexibility to downsize further

Return the business to material positive cash flow

De-lever balance sheet to sustainable level

Status and 'Reset' Ovato

  • Downward trend in industry volumes has been accelerated by COVID19 and customer uncertainty particularly in retail space, with oversupply now prevalent in the market, leading to reduced pricing on any new and existing print work
  • Planned closure of Ovato's Clayton print facility expected to result in a material reduction in excess print capacity; improvement in operating efficiencies by reducing fleet size; and a significant reduction in costs through headcount rationalisation and removal of premises rent and ancillary costs
  • Ovato has previously operated under an outdated EBA that limited workforce flexibility
  • A new EBA came into effect on 13 November that provides new casual workforce and shift structure flexibility and lower redundancy cost requirements
  • There are currently 'above market' and/or onerous legacy leasing agreements secured by material bank guarantees
  • The Company is currently negotiating with landlords to exit or renegotiate certain leases
  • EBITDA (pre AASB16) fell from c. $30.8m in FY19 to c. $9.2m in FY20 (including c. $12.2m of JobKeeper)
  • Net cashflow (including onerous leases and significant items) in FY19 was negative $12.4m and negative $27.8m in FY20
  • Despite materially lower print volumes and the phasing out of JobKeeper, EBITDA is expected to improve and return to positive as the lower and more flexible cost base from the closure of Clayton and new EBA improve profitability
  • Historically worsening financial performance coupled with growing 'below the line' cost items has led to a deterioration in net debt levels (up to $72.9m) and leverage (up to 7.9x FY20A EBITDA)
  • Trade working capital position fell from $45.3m in June 2019 to $13.4m at June 2020 due to strong inventory management in conjunction with payments to trade creditors being pushed out to improve liquidity
  • The recapitalisation is targeted to: materially reduce debt (through repayment and negotiated settlement of interest bearing liabilities), improve the working capital position through certain debt forgiveness from creditors, and provide additional liquidity to stabilise the balance sheet

Transition to digital

  • Positive EBITDA contribution from Marketing Services
    with Management targeting continued growth for the business
  • Company currently lacks the capital backing and IP/systems to aggressively grow in the attractive Marketing Services segment, but post restructure will have an improved ability to do so

Note 1: Approximately $34.3m additional liquidity to be received from the capital raising (assuming $40.0m is the final amount of equity raised and a new $17.0m senior secured facility is fully drawn) which includes $7.0m to repay overdraft (assumed fully drawn) and $27.3m additional liquidity post other cash costs of c. $22.7m. Pro-forma cash above is calculated on the basis the October-20 overdraft drawings are fully repaid and the remaining liquidity is allocated to cash. Subject to the timing of repayment of trade creditor balances required as part of the Schemes, the payment of which has not been included in the indicative pro-forma (post conversion) cash balance above, and the seasonal build of working capital towards Christmas

Note 2: In December 2020 net debt is subject to change for working capital movements and timing of repayment of trade creditor balances included in the proposed Schemes

Note 3: It is assumed that a compromise or arrangement is reached with Commerzbank regarding the $23.5m of equipment finance.

Note 4: Corporate bond is written down to $15.0m as part of the Scheme. It is expected that the remaining $15.0m will be converted to equity after a shareholder EGM (to occur in Q1 2021)

Note 5: Onerous leases refers to those leases expected to be exited as part of the restructure. The new $17.0m senior secured facility is fully drawn upon scheme implementation to fund the settlement of onerous leases. Onerous leases are exited as part of the scheme via landlord settlements. Per latest discussions, it is assumed that lease liabilities of c. $26.0m, supported by bank guarantees of c. $9.9m, are removed as part of these landlord settlements. The current Lidcombe lease liability will be discounted and then remain on-foot until the shareholder EGM (expected to occur in Q1 2021) where the lease liability is expected to be converted to equity.

Relevant Business Units:

Marketing services

At the forefront of a successful retailing campaign is idea generation leading to customer engagement. Ovato has long, established relationships with its blue chip customer base.

Developments in data and technology create an opportunity to grow the breadth of Ovato's marketing products and increase the perception of the value the Company brings to these customers.

The recent development of APS software is expected to allow OVT to compete against established players

Print ser vices

Relevant Business Units:

Print AU | Print NZ | Books

Ovato's core print and distribution business remains the foundation of retail marketing - the catalogue is the fundamental driver of sales in store for key clients.

Ovato's focus is on Tier 1 retailers with consistent demand for print and integrated marketing solutions for whom Ovato's unique footprint is critical in achieving the customer "time to market" deadlines.

Distribution channel to end market

Relevant Business Units:

Retail distribution | Residential distribution

Ovato is the largest distributor of printed products into retailers and one of only two distributing printed catalogues direct to home.

Distribution completes the service from idea generation to print and into the consumer's home.

Management expect to extract significant synergies from the recent NSW site consolidation at Warwick Farm and the proposed closure of Clayton. OVT's new EBA will also allow additional go-forward cost savings to be achieved.

Ongoing strategic initiatives continue to identify further efficiencies to offset the impact of declining revenues in the Print division including:

  • joint ventures with other participants;
  • simplification of inventory SKUs;
  • consolidation of suppliers.

P R I N T S E R V I C E S - S T R E N G T H E N T H E C O R E

The strategic direction for the historical core of the Ovato business, Print services, is to develop a more financially flexible and market-driven division in order to protect longer term profitability. The restructure will be a key catalyst for this, delivering a step change in the manufacturing footprint, a resulting reduction in headcount and a more flexible workforce through a new Enterprise Agreement that has already commenced.

45

Enhanced flexibility for stable earnings and cash flows

  • Pending closure of Clayton and rationalisation of approximately 300 blue collar and support staff across the Group
  • New Enterprise Agreement has commenced with significantly reduced redundancy scales and greater flexibility to use casual labour and change shift structures allows for continued reduced labour costs
  • Stable, long-term relationships with Australia and New Zealand's major retailers supports evolution of catalogue product with higher margin input for Ovato
  • Current growth areas of Packaging with capabilities now being expanded into NSW
  • Recovery in Book due to print-on-demand books in Victoria and onshoring of re-print volumes
  • Recent investment in new state-of-the-art 80 page press at super site in NSW supports further capacity reduction in outer years

Market dynamics underpin future profitability

  • Highly concentrated market in catalogue and magazine production in both Australia and New Zealand
  • Reduction in capacity in line with any falls in demand will protect pricing and lead to inflationary increases in selling price over time
  • Opportunity for future sharing of production facilities as demand warrants in different States
  • Opportunity to expand into cold-set printing as newspaper publishers move away from manufacturing to concentrate on content publishing only

R E TA I L A N D R E S I D E N T I A L D I S T R I B U T I O N

Retail Distribution's position as the largest distributor, and its proven ability to use its logistical platform to distribute product other than magazines, has supported historically stable earnings. Residential Distribution has lifted its market share significantly over the recent period.

46

Continued consistent earnings for Retail Distribution

  • Unique position of being the only national distributor of magazines in both Australia and New Zealand
  • Software and logistics systems very difficult to replicate and would require major investment of money and time by anyone else
  • Further untapped growth opportunity with Market Hub business in enhancing product range for newsagency channel in Australia and launching similar business in New Zealand

Major player in Residential Distribution market

  • Market share has increased significantly with the on-boarding of Aldi and Woolworths (onboarding in progress)
  • Relationships with market leading partners allow the Company to leverage behavioural and transaction data to develop and measure audiences
  • Recent investment in data has seen the development of a ROI tool which measures impact of catalogue on sales for retailers, and the development of data visualisation through the proprietary ATLAS platform
  • Ability to handle addressed deliveries, product sampling and local newspaper deliveries through the network
  • Future opportunity for enhanced data-driven localised and targeted delivery of product to letterbox

APPENDIX

K E Y R I S K S

Ovato's operations are subject to a number of risks which may impact on its future performance and forecasts. Before subscribing for shares under the Entitlement Offer (New Shares), eligible shareholders should carefully consider and evaluate Ovato and its business and whether the New Shares are suitable to acquire having regard to their own investment objectives, financial circumstances and needs and taking into consideration the material risk factors.

Ovato is not licensed to provide financial product advice in relation to New Shares or any other financial products. No cooling off period applies to any application for New Shares.

The risks associated with

The future operating performance of Ovato and the value of an investment in the New Shares may be affected by risks relating to Ovato's business. Some

an investment in Ovato

of these risks are specific to Ovato while others relate to economic conditions and the general industry and markets in which Ovato operates.

Where practical, Ovato seeks to implement risk mitigation strategies to minimise its exposure to some of the risks outlined below. However, there can be

no assurance that such strategies will protect Ovato from these risks. Other risks are beyond Ovato's control and cannot be mitigated. The occurrence of

any such risks could adversely affect Ovato's financial position and performance and the value of the New Shares. The risks listed below do not purport to

be exhaustive and there is no assurance that the importance of different risks will not change or other risks will not emerge.

Risks specific to Ovato

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the Australian and global economy and the ability of individuals, businesses, and governments to

operate. Across Australia and the world, travel, trade, business, working arrangements and consumption have been materially impacted by the pandemic.

In addition, events relating to COVID-19 have resulted in significant volatility across financial, commodity and other markets, including in the prices of

securities trading on ASX (including the price of Ovato securities) and on other foreign securities exchanges. As previously disclosed to ASX, COVID-19 has

affected Ovato in several ways, with:

capacity being reduced through the shutdown of equipment at printing sites, with Ovato New Zealand required to cease operations for several weeks

during the New Zealand Government's mandated lockdown period and other facilities being impacted by reduced demand for Ovato products;

staff being asked to reduce their working hours by 40%; and

increasing consumer uncertainty leading to a reduction in activity and demand volumes from Ovato's major customers.

While government restrictions have begun to ease, there continues to be uncertainty as to the further impact of COVID-19. A new wave of infections,

prolonged period of quarantines, travel restrictions, work stoppages, health authority actions, lockdowns and other related measures within Australia or

New Zealand (or overseas) may impact a number of aspects of Ovato's business. Events such as those experienced in Victoria in July to October 2020

and South Australia in November 2020 demonstrate that the easing of restrictions can be reversed quickly and without warning.

54

K E Y R I S K S

COVID-19

In addition, if a COVID-19 related infection occurs at a location in which Ovato operates, this could negatively impact Ovato's ability to operate at that

location and create a risk of broader infection of Ovato's workforce which could negatively impact on Ovato's ability to meet its contractual obligations, and

may adversely impact Ovato's financial and business performance. If the duration of events surrounding COVID-19 is prolonged, Ovato may need to take

additional measures in order to respond appropriately, including by raising additional funding or selling assets/businesses.

Ovato is also exposed to counterparty risk in respect of its customers failing to fulfil their contractual obligations. This risk may be heightened as a result

of COVID-19 and may cause Ovato's financial performance and business to be impacted where its customers experience financial difficulties, reduce or

discontinue operations or default on obligations owed to Ovato.

Continuation of challenges

The printing industry has been affected by challenges over the past decade arising from changes in demand. A shift in consumer preferences away from

in the printing industry

magazines, newspapers and catalogues has changed the advertising landscape with reduced demand causing overcapacity.

Ovato's business segments are primarily in pre-media, printing and distribution of publications including catalogues, magazines, and books. There is a risk

that Ovato's product demand and pricing could continue to be subject to adverse impact from:

reductions in demand volume and the effect of consumer confidence on retail marketing;

pagination reductions and title closures by magazine and newspaper publishers;

competitive market pricing pressure; and

migration of advertising, entertainment and information media from print to digital platforms.

Site consolidation risk

An important requirement to underpin the Company's future operations is for the successful onboarding of Victorian volumes into the New South Wales

production site at Warwick Farm to be achieved. Difficulties may be encountered in connection with this process which could result in the failure of Ovato

to realise some of the anticipated benefits of the Clayton site closure. In particular, there is a risk of Ovato losing some customers due to longer

production times. A failure to achieve the full transfer of volumes may have an adverse impact on the financial performance and position of Ovato and the

value of its shares.

There are also risks associated with achieving the expected operation and financial cost savings. In particular, the one-off implementation cash cost to

close down the Clayton facility and transfer volumes to Warwick Farm is material.

Litigation

As with all businesses, Ovato will be exposed to potential litigation and other claims or disputes in the course of its business, including litigation from

employees, regulators and other third parties. As with any litigation, there are risks involved. An adverse outcome of litigation or the cost of responding to

potential actual litigation may have a materially adverse impact on the financial performance of Ovato.

55

K E Y R I S K S

Schemes - transaction

The Ovato group is currently in the process of progressing several creditor's and member's schemes of arrangement (Schemes), aimed at allowing the

execution risk

Ovato group to consolidate its printing production capacity, improving its operating efficiencies and reducing its cost base, making it more sustainable and

permitting a return to profitability. The Schemes are subject to execution risk and there is no guarantee that the Schemes will be approved and / or

implemented. There is also a risk that the Schemes will not result in the anticipated benefits which are required to allow for the Ovato group to return to

profitability at the level, and in the timeframe, currently contemplated by Ovato following the implementation of the Schemes.

Financial risk management

Ovato is exposed to credit risk, and adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. This could adversely impact Ovato's ability

to achieve its financial performance objectives and reduce its ability to access financing facilities.

Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding through an adequate amount

of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. Ovato manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual

cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. However, if a funding shortfall materialises, Ovato may need to raise

substantial additional short-term or long-term debt or equity or consider asset sales. In addition, Ovato has substantial debt facilities which are subject to

covenant ratios.

These debt facilities have current expiry dates of February 2021, November 2022, and July 2023. Ovato's capacity to secure the requisite level of funding

at the appropriate time will depend on the amount of funding required, the performance and future prospects of its business and a number of other

factors, including interest rates, economic conditions, debt market conditions and equity market conditions prevailing at that time. There is no assurance

that the required funding (either via debt or equity) can be secured at all or on reasonable terms, which may require Ovato to consider asset sales or

alternative sources of funding.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that a financial instrument value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The nature of Ovato's financial

arrangements exposes Ovato to interest rate risk including from the movement and underline interest rates, which impacts on Ovato's cost of funding and

may adversely impact Ovato's financial performance.

Credit risk

Credit risk is managed on a group basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions. For banks and

financial institutions, the customer's individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the directors and

the companies credit insurer.

Regulatory and Legislative

There is a risk of a major change to, or a major breach of, existing regulations or legislation, which could impact Ovato's ability to continue its current

Requirements

business operations or achieve its financial performance objectives. To the extent possible, Ovato mitigates these risks by implementing policies,

procedures and systems to comply with regulatory requirements.

Technology and Cyber Security

There is a risk of outage, disruption, or security breach of IT systems. This could result in significant business disruption or a loss of confidential business

data. Ovato mitigates this risk through IT security and infrastructure solutions. This is supported by IT policies and procedures governing security and

usage of IT systems.

Risks associated with the new shares

Market price of the New Shares The market price of Ovato shares may fluctuate over time as a result of a number of factors including the financial performance and prospects of Ovato, prevailing market conditions, general investor sentiment in those markets, inflation, interest rates, and the liquidity and the volume of the shares been brought or sold at any point in time. It should be noted that there is no guarantee that the New Shares will trade at or above the issue price. It should also be noted that the historical share price performance of shares does not necessarily provide any guidance as to its future share price performance.

Liquidity in market for shares

There can be no guarantee that there will be an active or liquid market shares traded on ASX or that the price of the New Shares (if any) will increase.

There may be relatively few or many potential buyers of the shares on ASX at any time particularly given the Hannan Family's relevant interest of

approximately 53.8% shareholding and that this may increase to 75.3% as a result of the Entitlement Offer. This may increase the volatility of the market

price of the shares and may affect the price at which shareholders are able to sell the shares. Accordingly, there is a risk that the New Shares may trade at

prices below the issue price.

Underwriting risk

Ovato has entered into an underwriting agreement with Wilson Corporate Finance Limited and Aitken Murray Capital Partners Pty Limited who have

entered into sub-underwriting arrangements with the Hannan Family and Are Media Pty Ltd. The Underwriters may terminate their underwriting agreement

and can be released from their obligations if certain conditions are not satisfied or waived or if certain events occur (as set out in the underwriting

agreement). If the Underwriters terminate their underwriting commitments (including as a result of non-satisfaction or waiver of the Underwriting

Conditions), the Entitlement Offer may not raise the full amount proposed to be raised or may be withdrawn by Ovato. Further, as a result of the sub-

underwriting arrangement with the Hannan Family, there is the potential that the Hannan Family may increase their percentage holding in Ovato up to

75.3% following the issue of the New Shares. In the event that the Hannan Family's relevant interest remains over 50% post the Entitlement Offer, the

Hannan Family will have a controlling shareholding and the ability to pass ordinary shareholder resolutions. In the event that the Hannan Family's relevant

interest increases above 75%, the Hannan Family will be able to pass special shareholder resolutions.

Dilution

While entitlements are renounceable there can be no guarantee that there will be an active market for entitlements. Shareholders who do not take up

some or all of their entitlements may not receive any value in respect of their entitlements they do not take up. Shareholders who do not take up all of

their entitlements will have their ownership in Ovato diluted.

Dividends

Ovato has not paid any dividends since FY17. It is uncertain when Ovato may be able to pay dividends and there can be no assurance, that dividends will

be paid in the future.

K E Y R I S K S

General

General risk factors outside the control of Ovato, which may have a significant impact on the future performance of Ovato, include the following:

economic conditions in Australia and internationally which may have a negative impact on capital markets;

change investor sentiment and perceptions in local international stock markets;

changes in interest rates, exchange rates and the rate of inflation;

changes in domestic or international fiscal, monetary, regulatory, taxation and other government policies;

changes in environmental conditions, such as lack of access to water

geopolitical conditions such as actual threats of terrorism, military conflicts or international hostilities;

developments in general conditions and markets in which Ovato operates; and

economic and natural disasters.

5. IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The information contained in this Entitlement Offer Booklet (including the ASX announcements in Section 4) and the enclosed personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form (Information) have been prepared by Ovato.

This Information, other than the ASX announcement in Section 4 which is dated 1 December 2020 and Investor Presentation which is dated 7 December 2020, is dated 8 December 2020. This Information remains subject to change without notice and Ovato is not responsible for updating this Information.

There may be additional announcements made by Ovato after the date of this Entitlement Offer Booklet and throughout the period that the Entitlement Offer is open that may be relevant to your consideration of whether to take up your Entitlement, apply for Additional New Shares or do nothing in respect of your Entitlement, including in respect of information regarding the suspension of trading of Ovato Shares. Therefore, it is prudent that you check whether any further announcements have been made by Ovato (by visiting the ASX website at www.asx.com.au) before submitting your application to take up your Entitlement.

No party other than Ovato has authorised or caused the issue of this Information, or takes any responsibility for, or makes, any statements, representations or undertakings in this Information.

This Information is important and requires your immediate attention.

You should read this Information carefully and in its entirety before deciding how to deal with your Entitlement. In particular, you should consider the risk factors outlined in the Key Risks section of the Ovato Investor Presentation included in Section 4.2 of

this Entitlement Offer Booklet, any of which could affect the operating and financial performance of Ovato or the value of an investment in Ovato.

You should consult your stockbroker, accountant or other professional adviser to evaluate whether or not to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

5.1 Eligible Shareholders

This Information contains an offer of New Shares to Eligible Shareholders in Australia or New Zealand and has been prepared in accordance with section 708AA of the

Corporations Act as notionally modified by ASIC Corporations (Non-Traditional Rights

Issues) Instrument 2016/84.

Eligible Shareholders are those persons who meet the criteria set out in Section 1. Shareholders as at the Record Date who are not Eligible Shareholders are Ineligible Shareholders. Ovato reserves the right to determine whether a Shareholder is an Eligible Shareholder or an Ineligible Shareholder.

By making a payment by BPAY®, you will be taken to have represented and warranted that you satisfy each of the criteria listed above to be an Eligible Shareholder. Nominees, trustees or custodians are therefore advised to seek independent professional advice as to how to proceed.

Ovato has decided that it is unreasonable to make offers under the Entitlement Offer to Shareholders who have registered addresses outside Australia and New Zealand, having regard to the number of such holders in those places and the number and value of the New Shares that they would be offered, and the cost of complying with the relevant legal and regulatory requirements in those places. Ovato may (in its absolute discretion) extend the Entitlement Offer to Shareholders who have registered addresses

61

outside Australia and New Zealand (except the United States) in accordance with applicable law.

  1. Top Up Facility
    Eligible Shareholders who take up their Entitlement in full, may also apply for Additional New Shares in excess of their Entitlement under the Top Up Facility, at the Offer Price of $0.005 per New Share (being the same price as the Offer Price per New Share issued under the Entitlement Offer).
    The Additional New Shares available under the Top Up Facility will be limited to the number of New Shares that could have been offered to Ineligible Shareholders if they had been entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer and the total number of Entitlements which have not been taken up by Eligible Shareholders and have lapsed. The total number of Additional New Shares available will be the amount of lapsed Entitlements of Eligible Shareholders plus the amount of New Shares which could have been offered to Ineligible Shareholders (Bookbuild Shares).
    Eligible Shareholders who wish to apply for Additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility must do so at the same time as they apply for New Shares under the Entitlement Offer. For information on how to apply for Additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility, please refer to Section 3.5(a) of this Entitlement Offer Booklet.
    Ovato's decision as to the number of Additional New Shares to be issued to any Eligible
    Shareholder who also applied for Additional New Shares will be final and will be made at its discretion. The issue of Additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility is subject to compliance with the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules and other applicable laws, and will be subject to availability. Applications for Additional New Shares will be treated as bids for Bookbuild Shares at the Offer Price under the Bookbuild and allocations of Bookbuild Shares will be determined under the Bookbuild.
    There is no guarantee that Eligible Shareholders will receive any or all of the Additional New Shares which they apply for under the Top Up Facility.
  2. Bookbuild
    The Underwriters have been appointed as broker to the Entitlement Offer for the purposes of conducting the Bookbuild. To the extent there are Entitlements not taken up, the Underwriters will invite applications from institutional and/or sophisticated investors for the Entitlements for Bookbuild Shares at an issue price that is not less than the Offer Price.
    The Bookbuild will be conducted to realise value for the Entitlements by determining a price, which must not be less than the Offer Price, that will result in all of the Bookbuild Shares being sold under the Bookbuild. If the Bookbuild does not realise any value for the Entitlements, applications for Additional New Shares will be given preference on allocation of Entitlements for Bookbuild Shares over bids from institutional and/or sophisticated investors.
    If the Bookbuild does not realise any value for the Entitlements, any Entitlements which are available following allocation to Eligible Shareholders in response to applications for Additional New Shares and to institutional and/or sophisticated investors under the Bookbuild will be subscribed for by the Sub-Underwriters, according to the proportions determined under their sub-underwriting agreements up to their sub-underwriting commitment. The Sub-Underwriters will only be allocated Entitlements over Bookbuild Shares to the extent that the Entitlements are not otherwise taken up by Eligible Shareholders or institutional and/or sophisticated investors under the Bookbuild.

62

Decisions regarding the operation of the Bookbuild (including the issue of any Additional New Shares) and any necessary scale-back will be determined by Ovato in agreement with the Underwriters. Ovato will not issue Bookbuild Shares under the Bookbuild, where to do so would be likely to result in a breach of its constitution, the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules. In the event that demand for Entitlements under the Bookbuild exceeds the number of Entitlements that are available at the relevant price, the number of Entitlements allocated to applicants under the Bookbuild will be determined by Ovato in agreement with the Underwriters.

If scale-back occurs, Application Monies in relation to Additional New Shares applied for but not issued will be refunded as soon as possible following the Closing Date, without interest.

There is no guarantee that an applicant for Entitlements will receive the number of Entitlements applied for, or that they will receive any at all. Ovato reserves the right to issue Bookbuild Shares under the Bookbuild at its discretion.

Bookbuild Shares will be issued at the same time as New Shares are issued under the Entitlement Offer.

The amount realised for Entitlements (if any) under the Bookbuild will be paid to the Share Registry to be distributed to those Ineligible Shareholders and Eligible Shareholders who do not take up all or part of their Entitlement. The amount to be distributed by the Share Registry to such shareholders will be paid on a pro rata basis and will be calculated by reference to the value realised for the Bookbuild Shares divided by the total number of lapsed Entitlements plus the number of New Shares which would have been offered to Ineligible Shareholders had they been eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

5.4 Potential effect of Entitlement Offer on control of Ovato

The issue of New Shares and level of take up of Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer may have an effect on the control of Ovato.

The Underwriters have entered into agreements with Are Media Pty Limited (Are Media) and the Hannan Family to sub-underwrite the Entitlement Offer. Pursuant to a voting deed entered into between Lindsay Hannan, Adrian & Richard O'Connor, Michael Hannan, James Hannan and Sayman Pty Ltd in its capacity as trustee of the Lindsay Hannan Family Trust (together, the Hannan Family), the Hannan Family has a relevant interest in 53.8% of the total Shares on issue as at 30 November 2020.

The Hannan Family has agreed with the Underwriters to sub-underwrite any New Shares not subscribed for up to a total amount of A$25 million. A summary of the Sub- Underwriting Agreement is contained in Section 5.14.

The number of New Shares that may be held by the Hannan Family following completion of the Entitlement Offer and the corresponding relevant interest is detailed in the table below. The table below shows that, in the circumstance where no Shareholders take up their Entitlements and the Hannan Family subscribes for all of the New Shares allocated to them under the Entitlement Offer and sub-underwriting arrangements with the Underwriters, then the Hannan Family's relevant interest will increase by approximately 21.5% to approximately 75.3%. Eligible Shareholders should refer to page 32 of the Investor Presentation set out in Section 4.2 for further detail on the potential capital structure of Ovato following completion of the Entitlement Offer

  1. Lindsay Hannan will be sub-underwriting the Entitlement Offer through Sayman Pty Ltd as trustee for the Lindsay Hannan Family Trust.
  2. Based on the Entitlement Offer raising a reduced minimum of $32.2 million as a result of limitations on other sub-underwriting arrangements and the Hannan Family being fully allocated $25 million worth of New Shares.

63

The extent of Are Media's sub-underwriting is subject to approval under the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975 (Cth) (FIRB Approval). If Are Media's final share allocation in the Entitlement Offer is reduced due to FIRB Approval not having been obtained at the time the Entitlement Offer settles (in which case Are Media will be

allocated a maximum of 19.99% of the diluted Ovato share capital post the Entitlement Offer), the underwritten amount will be a minimum of $32.2m instead of $35.0m, and the relevant number of unallocated shares will be placed to Are Media in approximately Q1 2021, when it is expected that the limitation will not be breached, and subject to any required shareholder vote or other regulatory requirements.

Any sub-underwriting obligation of the Hannan Family and therefore any increase in the relevant interest of the Hannan Family as a result of these sub-underwriting arrangements (as noted in the table below), will decrease by a corresponding amount for the amount of Entitlements taken up by Shareholders or new investors.

Accordingly, the Hannan Family currently controls, and is likely, following completion of the Entitlement Offer, to control Ovato and have the ability to pass ordinary shareholder resolutions and to significantly influence the passing of special shareholder resolutions. In addition, if the Hannan Family's relevant interest in Ovato increases to 75.3%, this will provide the Hannan Family with the ability to pass matters requiring shareholder approval by special resolution In this regard it should be noted that based on shareholder participation at the past two annual general meetings, the Hannan Family has cast the majority of votes on all resolutions other than the remuneration report.

64

The Hannan Family has informed the other Directors that on the facts and circumstances presently known, they are supportive of the current direction of Ovato and do not currently intend to propose any major changes to its direction and objectives.

  1. Ranking of New Shares
    New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer will be fully paid and rank equally in all respects with existing Shares. The rights and liabilities attaching to the New Shares are set out in Ovato's constitution, a copy of which is available at www.ovato.com.au/ Investors.
  2. Risks
    The Ovato Investor Presentation included in Section 4.2 of this Entitlement Offer
    Booklet details important factors and risks that could affect the financial and operating performance of Ovato. You should refer to the Key Risks section of the Investor Presentation. You should consider these factors in light of your personal circumstances, including financial and taxation issues, before making a decision in relation to your
    Entitlement.
  3. No Cooling Off Rights
    Cooling off rights do not apply to an investment in New Shares. You cannot withdraw your application once it has been accepted.
  4. Rounding of Entitlements
    Where fractions arise in the calculation of an Entitlement, they will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares.
  5. Notice to Nominees and Custodians
    If Ovato believes you hold Shares as a nominee or custodian, you will have received, or will shortly receive, an email in respect of the Entitlement Offer. Nominees and custodians should consider carefully the contents of that email.
    Persons acting as nominees for other persons must not take up any Entitlements on behalf of, or send any documents related to the Entitlement Offer to, any person in the
    United States or any person that is acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States. Persons in the United States and persons acting for the account or benefit of persons in the United States will not be able to purchase or trade Entitlements on ASX or otherwise, or take up or exercise Entitlements purchased on ASX or otherwise, and may receive no value for any such Entitlements held.
    Ovato is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder or investor is acting as a nominee or custodian or the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of existing Shares or Entitlements. Where any person is acting as a nominee or custodian for a foreign person, that person, in dealing with its beneficiary, will need to assess whether indirect participation in the Entitlement Offer by the beneficiary complies with applicable foreign laws. Ovato is not able to advise on foreign laws. Eligible Shareholders who are nominees, trustees or custodians are therefore advised to seek independent advice as to how to proceed.
  6. Not Investment Advice
    This Entitlement Offer Booklet is not a prospectus under the Corporations Act and has not been lodged with ASIC. It is also not financial product advice and has been prepared without taking into account your investment objectives, financial circumstances or particular needs.

    This Information has been prepared to comply with the requirements of the securities laws of Australia and New Zealand. To the extent that you hold Shares or Entitlements on behalf of another person resident outside Australia or New Zealand, it is your responsibility to ensure that any participation (including for your own account or when you hold Shares or Entitlements beneficially for another person) complies with all applicable foreign laws and that each beneficial owner on whose behalf you are submitting the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form is not in the United
    States and not acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States.
    This Entitlement Offer Booklet does not constitute an offer in any jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer. No action has been taken to register or qualify the Entitlement Offer, the Entitlements or the New Shares, or otherwise permit the public offering of the New Shares, in any jurisdiction other than Australia and New Zealand.
    The distribution of this Information (including an electronic copy) outside Australia and New Zealand may be restricted by law. If you come into possession of this Information, you should observe such restrictions and should seek your own advice on such restrictions.

66

Any non-compliance with these restrictions may contravene applicable securities laws.

(a) New Zealand

The Entitlements and the New Shares are not being offered to retail investors within New Zealand other than to existing shareholders of Ovato with registered addresses in New Zealand to whom the offer of these securities is being made in reliance on the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (New Zealand) and the Financial Markets Conduct (Incidental Offers) Exemption Notice 2016.

This document has been prepared in compliance with Australian law and has not been registered, filed with or approved by any New Zealand regulatory authority. This document is not a product disclosure statement under New Zealand law and is not required to, and may not, contain all the information that a product disclosure statement under New Zealand law is required to contain.

b) United States

The Entitlements and New Shares have not been and will not be registered under the US Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction in the United States. The Entitlements may not be taken up or exercised by persons in the United States or by persons who are acting for the account or benefit of persons in the United States. The New Shares may not be offered, sold or resold to persons in the United States or to persons who are acting for the account or benefit of persons in the United States except in a transaction exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the US Securities Act and applicable US State securities laws. In the Entitlement Offer, the New Shares will be only sold in 'offshore transactions' (as defined in Rule 902(h) under the US Securities Act) in compliance with Regulation S under the US Securities Act. Because of these legal restrictions, you must not distribute, release or send copies of this Entitlement Offer Booklet or any other material relating to the Entitlement Offer to any person in the United States.

5.14 Underwriting/Sub-underwriting of the Entitlement Offer

Ovato has entered into an underwriting agreement dated 1 December 2020 (Underwriting Agreement) with the Underwriters, who have agreed to manage and partly underwrite the Entitlement Offer on the terms and conditions set out in the Underwriting Agreement. The obligations of the Underwriters are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent documented in the Underwriting Agreement including approval by the Supreme Court of New South Wales of the creditors & members schemes of arrangement in respect of Ovato and completion of other aspects of the proposed restructure of the Ovato group (please refer to the Investor Presentation in section 4.2 for further information).

It is expected that the status of the conditions precedent to the Underwriting Agreement (other than court approval of the creditors' and members' schemes of arrangement) will be known by the close of the Entitlement Offer. Ovato will update the market as to the status of those conditions at that time. If those conditions have not been satisfied at that time and the Underwriters have terminated the Underwriting Agreement, Ovato reserves the right to withdraw the Entitlement Offer. If Ovato does withdraw the Entitlement Offer, the Entitlement Offer will not complete and all Application Monies will be returned to those Eligible Shareholders who have taken up their Entitlements.

Furthermore, in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement, as is customary with these types of arrangements (capitalised terms not defined in this Entitlement Offer Booklet are as defined in the Underwriting Agreement):

67

  1. Ovato has (subject to certain limitations) agreed to indemnify the Underwriters, their affiliates and related bodies corporate, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisers against any losses they may incur arising from, in relation to, or in connection with the Offer;
