Letter from the Chairman
9 July 2024
Dear Shareholder
This Prospectus relates to the redeemable, unsecured convertible notes (Convertible Notes) to be issued to Mercer Street Global Opportunity Fund II LP (Mercer) pursuant to a convertible securities agreement between TOY and Mercer dated 15 March 2024 (Convertible Securities Agreement).
Under the Convertible Securities Agreement, Mercer has agreed to advance to the Company an amount to be agreed in writing by the Company and Mercer of between $500,000 and not more than $3,500,000 (Subsequent Investment Amount). In consideration of this advance, the Company has agreed to issue to Mercer the Convertible Notes with an aggregate face value equal to 110% of the relevant Subsequent Investment Amount.
Mercer proposes to invest a further $785,000. Accordingly, the Company will issue up to 863,500 Convertible Notes with a face value of $1, being an aggregate face value of $863,500, to Mercer in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Securities Agreement.
Given the suspension of the Company's Shares in July 2023, this Prospectus has been prepared primarily for the purpose of the Offer being made in accordance with 713 of the Corporations Act to ensure that there are no trading restrictions on any subsequent sale of any shares issued on conversion of the Convertible Notes.
The Offer is only available to Mercer. An Application Form will be provided to Mercer only.
I encourage you to read this Prospectus in its entirety before making an investment decision.
Yours faithfully
Kelly Humphreys
Non-Executive Director
