Risk factors
Before investing in TradeWindow, you should be aware that an investment
in TradeWindow has a number of risks, some of which are specific to
TradeWindow and some of which relate to listed securities generally, and
many of which are beyond the control of TradeWindow. Additionally, some
risks may be unknown and other risks, currently believed to be immaterial,
could turn out to be material. This section identifies some of the key risks
that TradeWindow has identified in connection with the Offer. Further detail
in respect of those risks can be found in TradeWindow's November 2021
Listing Profile. Whilst the section below aims to highlight some of the key
risks, it is not exhaustive.
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and heightened geopolitical tensions,
extra caution should be taken when assessing the risks associated with an
investment in TradeWindow. These ever-evolving situations pose
challenges for global financial markets and the economy as a whole.
Capital markets continue to see equity securities suffer from spikes in
volatility and significant price decline, particularly in relation to technology
stocks like TradeWindow. It is not currently clear when these negative
impacts will begin to abate. TradeWindow will continue to respond to the
challenges facing it, but there is no certainty as to the severity or likelihood
of such unforeseen impacts arising nor whether any mitigating action can
be taken or will be effective.
Before deciding whether to invest in TradeWindow shares, you must make
your own assessment of the risks associated with the investment in
TradeWindow and consider whether such an investment is suitable for you,
having regard to publicly available information (including this presentation)
your personal circumstances, and following consultation with your
financial adviser or other professional advisers.
Capital Raise FY2322
Risk factors
Information technology and cybersecurity risk
TradeWindow's core business operations involves the processing and the
cloud hosting and storage, of customers’ information. Any failures of, or
malicious attacks on, TradeWindow's business systems, a breach of
TradeWindow's cybersecurity measures or any other compromise to the
security of data (including personal information / data) held by
TradeWindow may result in material disruption to TradeWindow's business
operations and reputation. If such event occurs, TradeWindow could
potentially be at risk of financial penalties, civil litigation, regulatory
investigations and enforcement action, all of which could have an adverse
effect on the reputation and financial performance of TradeWindow.
Real or perceived errors, bugs or failures
TradeWindow’s solutions are used to run mission-critical processes for
customers. With constant updating of software, there is a risk that
undetected errors, defects, failures, or bugs may occur, or are perceived to
occur, in TradeWindow’s solution that make it unsuitable for the designed
purpose. Should such errors, defects or bugs be, or are perceived to be,
present this could significantly disrupt TradeWindow's business operations
and cause TradeWindow to incur material brand or reputational damage.
Key person risk
TradeWindow’s continued success is dependent upon its ability to attract
and retain skilled and qualified personnel, in particular, members of the
senior leadership team, software engineers, customer success, and sales
teams with extensive domain expertise. The loss of any key personnel, as
well as high staff turnover, could cause disruption to TradeWindow's
business operations and technology capabilities, causing a delay in the
development, launch and commercialisation of new software features or
applications. Competition to attract such skilled professionals and
personnel is intense and there is no assurance that TradeWindow will be
successful in retaining or attracting skilled professionals, and the lack of
availability of such skills may materially and adversely affect operations,
performance and reputation of TradeWindow.
Capital Raise FY2323
Risk factors
Supply chain disruptions
TradeWindow serves customers working on the front-line of global trade
with a significant portion of its revenue being made up of transaction fees
from these customers. Accordingly, disruptions to their supply chains
including, but not limited to, the availability of shipping containers, the
frequency of port calls and ship capacity, the frequency of flights and
aircraft capacity, bio-security incursions, port industrial action, and/or port
infrastructure issues could adversely affect the volume of shipments
processed through TradeWindow’s solutions and therefore materially
affect operating and financial performance and prospects. Additionally,
frequent and/or prolonged disruptions to the supply chain may lead to
offshore customers seeking alternative suppliers either closer to, or within
their home market, no longer requiring TradeWindow's business.
Economic shock
TradeWindow's operating and financial performance is influenced by a
variety of general economic and business conditions in New Zealand and
globally. TradeWindow products operating within global supply chains and
will therefore be affected by any rapid and unexpected changes to
macroeconomic variables including, but not limited to, interest rates,
commodity prices, household consumption, labour markets, trade barriers
and sanctions, pandemics, war, and terrorism. To the extent an economic
shock was sufficiently pronounced or continued for an extended period of
time, TradeWindow's operating revenues and cash position may be
materially adversely impacted.
Inability to protect intellectual property
TradeWindow is a software business with a large proportion of its assets,
and value attributed in its intellectual property. In New Zealand,
TradeWindow ensures adequate protection of its intellectual property
through registration on the intellectual property register (as well as
entering into appropriate arrangements with employees, licensees and
other third parties who have access to its intellectual property rights).
However there remains a risk that TradeWindow may be unable to
adequately protect its Intellectual Property in international jurisdictions or
its intellectual property may be obtained, misused, misappropriated or
disclosed to third parties. In such instances this may adversely effect
TradeWindow's competitive position in the market and value of its
business.
Capital Raise FY2324
Risk factors
Operating in a competitive market
TradeWindow completes globally across multiple segments of the
intensely competitive and constantly evolving TradeTech industry and
competes against a number of software vendors and service providers
and, in particular, global providers of freight forwarding, and digital trade
software. It is expected that competition in the TradeTech industry will
continue to increase from existing and potentially new competitors.
Increased competition could adversely impact TradeWindow’s ability to
attract and retain customers, the price at which it offers products and
services, reduce TradeWindow's market share, and subsequently adversely
impact on TradeWindow’s operating and financial performance.
Strategic acquisition risk
TradeWindow has acquired five businesses (three of which were acquired
in FY22), and will continue to seek strategic acquisition opportunities, in
order to build customer base and technological capabilities.
TradeWindow's revenue growth to date has been driven in substantial part
as a result of acquisitions it has made. TradeWindow's ability to continue
to achieve revenue growth through acquisition is dependent on identifying
appropriate acquisition targets, negotiating appropriate terms, and
sourcing adequate capital to fund acquisitions. While TradeWindow
undertakes comprehensive due diligence on all potential acquisitions there
remains a risk that TradeWindow undertakes a non-performing acquisition,
which would have an adverse effect on TradeWindow's growth prospects
and financial performance.
Early-stage business
TradeWindow is an early-stage software business operating in a nascent
market and is therefore a higher risk investment than a more established
business. TradeWindow has employed, a growth strategy where spending
exceeds revenues, a situation commonly referred to as "cash burn".
TradeWindow’s performance and commercialisation of products at scale
depends on the widespread adoption of digital trade solutions by
mainstream exporters, importers, freight forwarders and customs brokers.
There is a risk that adoption of digital trade solutions and therefore
demand for TradeWindow products is slower than anticipated, which
would mean lower revenues and the need for TradeWindow to raise
additional capital or seek other financial support.
Capital Raise FY2325
Risk factors
Compliance with laws and regulations
TradeWindow has offices, employees, and customers in eight countries,
therefore it is impacted by, and subject to, a wide variety of laws and
regulations across multiple jurisdictions. While TradeWindow’s policies
and procedures are designed to comply with laws and regulations of a
particular subject matter generally, there remains some risk that those
controls are not sufficient to prevent it from contravening the laws and
regulations of all jurisdictions in which it does business. Should
TradeWindow breach any relevant laws or regulations, it may be subject to
potential enforcement action and monetary fines from authorities.
Liquidity risk
TradeWindow's operations are reliant on maintaining access to liquidity. In
addition to maintaining a cash position, TradeWindow relies on three
principal sources of liquidity: investor funding, grants and lending. As a
growth company, TradeWindow depends on periodic access to investor
funding to finance its day-to-day operations. There is a risk that investor
funding could become unavailable, or more costly to obtain, including as a
result of an adverse change in TradeWindow's business performance or
outlook, a downturn in equity markets or the economic environment more
generally, or adverse changes in the regulatory environment within which
TradeWindow operates. If TradeWindow is unable to maintain adequate
access to funding, there is a risk that it could default on payment
obligations, threatening TradeWindow's financial position and potentially
resulting in insolvency.

MEDIA RELEASE
TradeWindow announces capital raising of up to $10m to
fund growth
Auckland, NZ – 12 July 2022
Trade Window Holdings Ltd (TradeWindow) today announced its intention to
raise up to approximately $9 million via a private placement of shares to select
institutional and other select investors (Placement) along with an approximately
$1 million Share Purchase Plan (SPP).
TradeWindow Chair Alasdair MacLeod said: "The opportunity for TradeWindow is
significant as global trade undergoes game-changing transformation at an
increasing pace. TradeWindow is well positioned to build on its strong track record
and recent acquisitions to take advantage of growth opportunities in key markets.
This first capital raising as an NZX listed company will enable TradeWindow to
continue to execute its growth strategy and capitalise on both organic and
acquisition opportunities."
The proceeds will be used to drive organic growth in New Zealand and Australia,
build the global trade platform and accelerate global expansion opportunities
through acquisitions. The proceeds will also partially fund the acquisition of Rfider
1
.
Equity raising details
The Placement will be conducted over the course of today and tomorrow, with
new shares issued at a fixed price of $0.70 per share, representing a 30.7% discount
to the closing price of $1.01 on Monday, 11 July 2022.
The SPP will allow all eligible shareholders with a registered address in New Zealand
on the record date to apply for up to $15,000 of new shares in TradeWindow. The
issue price of the new shares under the SPP will be the lower of the Placement price
and a 2.5% discount to the volume weighted average price of TradeWindow shares
traded on the NZX during the five trading days up to, and including, the end of the
SPP offer period. The SPP offer opens on Thursday, 14 July 2022.
The Offer enables all existing shareholders to participate through either the
Placement or the SPP (except where restricted due to legal constraints), and should
scaling be required, it will be by reference to existing shareholdings on the record
date.
The new shares issued under the Offer will rank equally with existing TradeWindow
shares on issue.
