Taxation
A shareholder's percentage holding in the Company will be diluted by not participating in the placement (which will include all retail shareholders and those institutional
shareholders who do not participate in the placement). Depending on their level of participation, some shareholders may also be diluted by the share purchase plan. It is not
possible to predict what the value of the Company or its shares will be following the completion of the equity raising and the Directors do not make any representation as to
such matters. The historical trading price of the shares on ASX prior to this equity raising is not a reliable indicator as to the potential trading price of shares after completion
of the equity raising.
As with all stock market investments, there are risks associated with an investment in Lake. The trading price of the Company's shares may fluctuate with movements in
equity capital markets in Australia and internationally, and may also be influenced by a number of factors, some of which are specific to Lake and its operations and some of
which may affect listed companies generally. Generally applicable factors that may affect the market price of shares include: general movements in Australian and
international securities markets; investor sentiment; Australian and international economic conditions and outlook; changes in interest rates and the rate of inflation; changes
in government regulation and policies (including in relation to taxation); announcement of new technologies; and geopolitical instability. General economic conditions may
also negatively affect the Company's performance and the performance of the Company's shares. Any protracted slowdown in economic conditions or factors such as
movements in inflation or interest rates, the cost and general availability of credit, and industrial disruption may have a negative impact on the Company's costs and
revenue.
The disposal of any newly acquired shares will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All investors are urged
to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of disposing of any new shares from a taxation viewpoint and generally. To the maximum extent permitted by
law, the Company, its officers and each of their respective advisors accept no liability and responsibility with respect to the taxation consequences of acquiring or disposing
of the new shares under this equity raising.
Force majeure
Data and cyber
security risk
The Company's projects now or in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company, including fires, labour unrest, civil disorder, war,
subversive activities or sabotage, floods, pandemics, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics, or quarantine restrictions.
The integrity, availability and reliability of data within the Company's information technology systems may be subject to intentional or unintentional disruption. Given the level
of increasing sophistication and scope of potential cyber-attacks, these attacks may lead to significant breaches of security which could jeopardise the sensitive information
and financial transactions of the Company. This risk may be escalated as a consequence of COVID-19 and the increase in remote working by our staff and contractors,
notwithstanding Lake's efforts to mitigate this threat.View entire presentation
