Market volatility – positioning for future opportunities
Trump tariffs
• Trade negotiations are driving volatility in
markets and share prices in the immediate term
• Current policy uncertainty significantly affects
business decision making
• Consequential earnings downgrades seem
likely, though hard to quantify currently
• Ultimate tariff levels likely higher than previous,
weighing on economic growth and increasing
inflation
• Uncertain environment persists – what changes
next?

We operate what is called The Traditional LIC Model
Internally managed – no external funds management business charging separate portfolio fees
Diversified portfolios that are tax aware with lower portfolio turnover and with lower volatility of returns
Independent Board of Directors
Costs and tax paid have less of an impact on returns – our performance quoted after fees and tax paid
Incentives strongly aligned with shareholder interests, benefit of scale flows to shareholders
Sensitivity to income requirements of shareholders – and franking credit and profit reserves

A Closer Look at our Investment Approach
Attributes of a high-quality company that we seek:
• Unique assets that are hard to replicate or have an
Industry leadership position (or developing one)
• Sustainability of competitive advantage
• Not unduly burdened by external risk factors
• Conservative balance sheets (low debt)
• Consistency of earnings
• Run by effective, passionate management with
ownership alignment
Why this matters:
• The presence of these factors drives a competitive
advantage
• Which leads to high return on capital
• And allows for reinvestment opportunities
to drive growth
• Which allows for market share capture – and
further enhancement of leadership position
• Which combines to deliver long term shareholder
value creation
We seek to buy these companies when we identify long term value and reduce
or exit when they no longer meet these characteristics.

Rationale for raising additional capital
22
•Market volatility – we have seen greater opportunities arise in early 2025, positioning for more
•Replenishing capital – since our first special dividend in 2013, $81 mil paid out in cash dividends
and Capital Gains Tax, net of capital raised through DRPs and SPPs
•Investment flexibility – tax effective portfolio repositioning as selected stock weightings can be
reduced without selling down holdings
•Mirrabooka shareholders have consistently expressed interest in supporting further capital raising
•Significant franking credit reserves to support dividend capacity on additional shares
•Scale – absence of FUM linked fees means shareholders benefit from reduced MER
