ASX ANNOUNCEMENT, 6 December 2018

Capital Raising - Growth Initiatives

Vivid Technology Limited (ASX: VIV) (Vivid Technology or the Company) has successfully received commitments for a placement of fully paid ordinary shares to sophisticated and professional investors eligible under section 708 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), has raised approximately $1.84 million (Placement). Vivid Technology will also offer a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) of fully paid ordinary shares in Vivid Technology to existing eligible shareholders on the same terms as the Placement.

Combined, the Placement and SPP (together, the Equity Raising) are expected to raise up to approximately $2.5 million before costs.

Growth initiatives

The Equity Raising provides Vivid Technology the capability to maintain and capitalise on its current work in hand and forward order book, both nationally and internationally, while ensuring continued momentum across an otherwise seasonally quiet period leading into the first quarter of 2019.

The focus of the business is the conversion of its near term pipeline opportunities from existing customers, as well as executing on a range of other significant opportunities from identified customer sites as a result of the broadening of the Company's product range as detailed in the Company's AGM presentation on 28 November 2018.

To date, the Company currently has in excess $1.5m of un-invoiced orders and has near line of sight of over $5.0m of potential purchase orders from existing and repeat customers, which are anticipated to be received over the next 4 months.

About the Placement

Vivid Technology has successfully received commitments for the placement of new ordinary shares to sophisticated and professional investors at the issue price of 3.0 cents per share to raise approximately $1.84 million. It is expected that approximately 61 million new shares will be issued as part of the Placement.

The shares to be issued under the Placement will rank equally with existing fully paid ordinary shares in the Company and will be issued within the Company's existing placement capacity under the Listing Rules.

The strong commitments to the raise included all the Directors of the Company demonstrating their confidence in the Company's progress against its strategic plan by collectively committing to apply for 6.2 million shares ($0.185 million) in the Placement further increasing their existing holdings. The placement to the Directors is conditional on shareholder approval being received at an extraordinary general meeting of Vivid Technology shareholders (EGM), which is expected to be held in late January 2019. Further details in relation to the proposed EGM will be provided in due course. Shareholder approval is not required for the balance of the Placement.

Accordingly, settlement of the Placement will be carried out in two stages. Completion of the first tranche of approximately 54.8 million shares to raise approximately $1.65 million is expected to occur on Friday, 14

December 2018. Completion of the second tranche of approximately 6.2 million shares to raise approximately $0.185 million (representing the component applied for by the Directors) is expected to occur shortly following receipt of shareholder approval at the EGM (subject to the relevant resolutions being passed).

The placement shares will be issued in accordance with the Company's available 15% placement capacity, with 61 million shares issued pursuant to ASX listing Rule 7.1. The new shares will rank equally with existing Vivid Technology ordinary shares quoted on the ASX.

About the Share Purchase Plan

The SPP offers eligible shareholders the opportunity to acquire up to $15,000 of new fully paid ordinary shares in Vivid Technology without incurring brokerage or other charges.

The record date for determining eligibility to participate in the SPP is 7:00pm (Melbourne time) on 5 December 2018.

The SPP issue price will be 3.0 cents per share, which represents an 8% discount to the volume weighted average price of Vivid Technology shares quoted on the ASX during the five trading days immediately prior to this announcement. If applications under the SPP exceed $0.65 million, the Board of Vivid Technology reserves the right to exercise its discretion to increase the total amount placed under the SPP.

Full details of the SPP including key dates will be announced in the near future. The shares to be issued under the SPP will rank equally with existing fully paid ordinary shares in the Company. The SPP is not subject to shareholder approval.

The trading halt in the Company's shares can now be lifted.

Vivid Technology's Managing Director Samuel Marks said: "We would like to take this opportunity to thank our new and existing shareholders for again supporting the execution of our vision and growth for Vivid Technology. The entire Vivid Technology team is passionate about continuing to build on the solid foundations that have been created and is committed to the ongoing success of becoming a profitable leader in intelligent energy efficient solutions.
