    Big Un Limited (ASX:BIG, or ‘the Company’) herewith provides an update to the market. As
    the Company continues to grow it remains committed to prioritising best practice corporate
    governance together with full transparency and disclosure to its shareholders.
    Mr Massie confirms that he has disclosed his interests in the Company. Further, Mr Massie
    has confirmed that Gajah Investments Pty Ltd is not a
    related party to Mr Massie, is not controlled by Mr Massie and Mr Massie does not have any
    beneficial interest in BIG shares held by it. Further, Mr Massie transferred ownership, control
    and beneficial entitlement in Coddington Nominees Pty Ltd Account> to Gajah Investments Pty Ltd prior to becoming a director of the company. Further,
    the company secretary and share registry were notified of the ownership changes prior to Mr
    Massie becoming a director. Therefore, Mr Massie has not controlled these accounts since
    becoming a director and does not have any beneficial interest in shares held by them.
    FC Capital and Finstro
    The board confirm the purchase of a total of 3,030,303 BIG shares by FC Capital was
    negotiated in November 2016 at a premium price of $0.20 when the Company’s share price
    was $0.16. The Company’s directors remain confident that the purchase of and payment for
    stock made by FC Capital remains commercial, at arm’s length and satisfies corporate
    governance requirements. These are the only shares issued to FC Capital, and no further
    securities will be issued pursuant to this agreement. Financing arrangements with FC Capital
    remain in place for BIG customers.
    The Company has and continues to use the Finstro financing arrangement to help accelerate
    its market share growth. However, the company is not dependent on the arrangement for
    achieving future growth on a sustainable basis.
    Further information about the Finstro arrangements will be provided in the investor roadshows
    taking place this coming week.
    Share Issues
    In relation to the Company’s historical issuing of shares for services, Mr Hugh Massie stated,
    “The issue of script in return for services has been carefully considered and taken to ensure
    the best outcome for all shareholders. When BIG embarked on its growth strategy post listing,
    the strategy of the board was to use script as a method of payment for strategic suppliers.
    Examples include technology suppliers, strategic and corporate advisors. It is the view of the
    board that this strategy has bought better alignment with BIG in the long term.”
    Corporate Governance
    The board has been reviewing candidates to be appointed as non-executive directors and will
    make further announcements on this in the future.
