NOTICE OF MEETING_MELBOURNE_254750_1_060601 Page 5 RESOLUTION 2 – ISSUE OF SHARES TO RAISE UP TO $2,500,000 The Company has entered into an agreement with TSA Communications Solutions Pty Ltd (ACN 059 909 894) (TSA) to purchase certain business assets of TSA (the Business). 2.1. Supporting Information The Company has entered into an agreement to acquire the Business for a purchase consideration of $3.5 million. The purchase consideration is to be satisfied by a combination of a cash payment of $2.5 million and the issue of shares to the value of $1 million. $1.5 million of the cash component is payable on the Completion Date and, subject to adjustments, the cash balance of $1 million is payable in two equal instalments 6 months and 12 months following Completion. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the Completion Date shall be 30 June 2006. TSA was established in 1993 and has grown to be, currently, the largest NEC Channel Partner in Queensland. The business services the same market segments as those presently serviced by Tele-IP’s Victorian presence and will provide excellent synergies in terms of national customer servicing and resource utilisation. The acquisition of the Business complements Tele-IP’s existing voice and data IP network services business. The Business, which has a present turnover of approximately $5.62M (unaudited), has a staff of 26 and was established in 1993. The Business is a major channel partner for NEC Business Solutions Ltd and provides the following services to its large base of more than 1500 customers: • The sale, installation, maintenance and servicing of NEC Business Telephony Solutions including, Voice over IP, Unified Messaging, IP Telephony, wireless telephone systems • Data network design, Supply, programming and installation under its Hewlett Packard Procurve Networking Specialist Accreditation • Project management • Facilities Management • Provisioning of all Telstra Services • Specialists in Call Centre, Business Process Improvement applications • Telecommunications Billing consultancy. Tele-IP has identified the opportunity to merge the Business with its existing network services business and its Beam satellite communications division, to develop a totally integrated and considerably expanded operation. This is the first phase in developing a national company that will expand the proposed benefits of the Victorian integration across the whole of Australia. The Business has existing national contracts in place, and the combined enterprise will have a large NOTICE OF MEETING_MELBOURNE_254750_1_060601 Page 6 potential for growth with the opportunity for expansion in account development and profitability going forward. Major synergies are expected to be exploited with the integration of the Business into Tele-IP including staff efficiency, co-location, cross-selling, the benefits of high volume channels and the capacity to bid for larger integration projects. Each business currently operates from separate premises and manages similar processes, with different computer systems and like administrative overheads. It is expected that a number of these, and other areas, will be rationalised following the integration the Business into Tele-IP. As voice and data convergence is increasingly adopted by the market, the merged entity will be well positioned selling convergent products, intelligent PBX-based solutions using wireless and Voice over IP products. This also opens up the opportunity to offer managed services, supporting all communications technologies to customers with 3 – 5 year contracts, including maintenance, billing analysis, leasing and insurance products with potential for a substantial annuity revenue stream. Completion of the Agreement with TSA is conditional upon: • the Company completing a capital raising of up to $2,500,000 (Resolution 2 of this Notice of Meeting); and • shareholders approve the issue of shares in the Company with a nominal value of $1,000,000 to TSA Communication Solutions Pty Ltd as part payment of the consideration for the Business (Resolution 3 of this Notice of Meeting). The Company may exercise its discretion to vary or waive any of the conditions to completion if the Company is otherwise able to proceed to complete the acquisition of the Business. Accordingly, Resolution 2 seeks approval to issue shares in the Company to raise $2,500,000. 2.2.
