Business Strategy
In addition to implementing board and management enhancements, the Company’s Strategic Review

chain
4. Optimise the Company Structure
1.
2.
3.
In alignment with our Investor Presentation released on the ASX platform on April 15, 2024, the
Company is actively reviewing its non-core activities. Our aim is to diversify or divest these activities
when they do not align with our vision, redirecting resources to areas that offer to deliver shareholder
value.
Our renewed strategy, leveraging insights gained from our experiences in data centres and managed
IT services, is already yielding positive results. Under the Board leadership, these learnings are being
applied to unique opportunities in the artificial intelligence and cybersecurity sectors. The Company
is continuously looking for opportunities to develop its AI capabilities through internal development,
collaboration and acquisitions.
To enable and enhance this strategic shift, it is essential to optimise the Company’s structure and
rationalise the costs base including reducing debt, removing unproductive expenses and realigning
performance of senior management.
The Board is confident that focussing on AI and Cyber Security will have a positive impact on the
Company's future.
Corporate Advisor
Sandton Capital Advisory, a boutique corporate advisory firm, has been appointed to advise and assist
the Board on the Strategic Review outcomes including execution of the key findings, and will be paid
a fee of $7,500 per month over a 12 month term. Sandton Capital Advisory brings a wealth of
experience in technology ventures including in AI and semiconductors establishing a network of
resources, facilities, technology and access to AI and technology specialists.
Mr Shane Wee said: “We are excited to work with Sandton and leverage their deep industry
knowledge and proven track record of creating value and driving business growth.”
