Treat this as an evidence pack for editorial review, not a final judgement.\n\n## Source Coverage\n\n| Source type | Count |\n|---|---:|\n| other-pdfs | 5 |\n| pages | 32 |\n\n## Executive Readout\n\n### Purpose\n\n- While individual directors may have individually held or expressed a view that the price offered by Credit Corp was not sufficiently compelling for the Board to recommend to Humm shareholders, this view had not been discussed let alone 'determined' by the full Board at the time of the announcement.\n”\nWhen the Humm directors were asked by the Panel on 7 March 2026 what consideration was given, when finalising the 17 December Announcement, to the fact that Credit Corp was aware that $0.77 was not enough to obtain a board recommendation, Ms Fleming submitted that “\nI was not of the view, and have never been of the view, that $0.77 was not, would not, or may not be sufficient to obtain a board recommendation…If anything, my view was that a takeover could be an excellent outcome for shareholders if an acceptable price could be agreed following due diligence and negotiation.\n  Source: `pages/media-releases-index__07.html (http://www.takeovers.gov.au/media-releases/tp26-021)`\n- The main proposed changes\nproposing? are to:\n• adjust the tone of GN 4 including, for example, by including a\npurpose statement (see paragraph 2)\n• remove the reference to costs orders being the “exception not\nthe rule”\n• expand the list of circumstances where costs may be awarded\nagainst a party to include, for example, where parties\nunnecessarily elongate proceedings by failing to answer\nquestions directly or failing to produce documents or other\nmaterials when first requested, act in an unnecessarily hostile\nmanner or defend circumstances that are clearly unacceptable\n• change the examples of circumstances in which the Panel may\naccept undertakings to pay costs\n• update the Panel’s approach to the quantum of costs orders\n• clarify that the Panel will expect certain provisions (which under\nthe existing guidance are taken to be implied into undertakings)\n  Source: `other-pdfs/consultation-paper-gn4-20251215.pdf (http://www.takeovers.gov.au/sites/takeovers.gov.au/files/2025-12/consultation-paper-gn4-20251215.pdf)`\n- In particular, Ms Fleming submitted that\n“I was not of the view, and have never been of the view, that $0.77 was not, would not, or may not be sufficient to obtain a board recommendation…If anything, my view was that a takeover could be an excellent outcome for shareholders if an acceptable price could be agreed following due diligence and negotiation.”\nMr Hines submitted that\n“[f]rom the outset my personal view was that a bid from Credit Corp was credible and worthy of full consideration.”\nWhile divestment orders are usually (but not exclusively) made in relation to contraventions of the takeovers prohibition, the Panel considers that the divestment order is an appropriate remedy here in light of the seriousness of the unacceptable circumstances surrounding the December Acquisitions as set out in the Panel’s Declaration (see\nTP26/011\n  Source: `pages/media-releases-index__11.html (http://www.takeovers.gov.au/media-releases/tp26-017)`\n- [pages 1,2,3]\n[Page 1]\nCONSULTATION PAPER\nGuidance Note 4 –

(http://www.takeovers.gov.au/media-releases/tp26-006)`\n- The Panel considered that the Rights Issue is not structured in a way that mitigates the effect on the control of Identitii, including because:\nthe offer price did not encourage shareholder participation in the Rights Issue\nthe Rights Issue ran over the end-of-year period from December 2025 to January 2026\ndirectors had very broad discretion over who was to receive shortfall shares\nthe offer document did not make clear whether applicants for shortfall would have priority over the Underwriter in the issuance of shortfall shares

unlikely to attract significant shareholder take up\nthe Offer is non‑renounceable\nIdentitii has not complied with the conditions of Item 10 of section 611 of the Corporations Act in relation to its foreign shareholders\nIdentitii pursued the Offer in preference to other non‑dilutive sources of capital that were available to it\nIdentitii did not provide any meaningful response to the applicant’s

context of the TAG Proposal (which was announced to ASX on 25 June 2025), showing that the bottom end of the control value range was a value which was above the $0.72 and $0.77 per share later offered

conflict issues.\n”\nHumm submitted\n4\nthat:\n“\nFrom the time that the Credit Corp Proposal was received, the Humm Board did not consider the proposal to be compelling, including for the following key reasons:\nThe $0.72 and $0.77 per share offered by Credit Corp for the Takeover Offer and the Scheme respectively was below the Board's view of the underlying value of Humm's shares, as su |

read\n” was consistent with its earlier submission (see paragraph 16) that “\nfrom the time that the Credit Corp Proposal was received, the Humm Board did not consider the proposal to be compelling, including because the $0.72 and $0.77 per share offered by Credit Corp was below the Board's view of the underlying value of Humm's shares, as supported by an expert valuation issued |

offered by Credit Corp was not sufficiently compelling for the Board to recommend to Humm shareholders, this view had not been discussed let alone 'determined' by the full Board at the time of the announcement.\n”\nWhen the Humm directors were asked by the Panel on 7 March 2026 what consideration was given, when finalising the 17 December Announcement, to the f | `pages/media-releases-index__07.html (http://www.takeovers.gov.au/media-releases/tp26-021)` |\n| $0.77 | That document was signed by all the Humm directors and stated among other things the following:\nThat\n“…the proposal from The Abercrombie Group Pty Ltd (“TAG”) was not at a level that the Independent Board Committee (“IBC”) would have supported…”\nand “\n[u]ltimately TAG did not put forward a revised proposal that the IBC believed was compelling and should be put to shareholders\n”.\n“The humm Board, through its advisers, communicated to Credit Corp t | `pages/media-releases-index__07.html (http://www.takeovers.gov.au/media-releases/tp26-021)` |\n| $0.58 , $0.72 , $0.77 | The Panel considers that Humm’s shareholders would have construed the 17 December Announcement as meaning that the Humm board was open to potentially recommending a transaction at the offer prices of the Credit Corp Proposal, particularly in the context of the recent TAG Proposal at $0.58 per share which was significantly below the value of the Credit Corp Proposal at $0.72 and $0.77 per share. | `pages/media-releases-index__07.html (http://www.takeovers.gov.au/media-releases/tp26-021)` |\n| $0.77 | The Panel considers that either:\n(a)\nThe Panel considers that although\nthe Humm board had\nnot as\nat 17 December 2025\nalready

(http://www.takeovers.gov.au/media-releases/tp26-021)` |\n| $0.77 | Given the absence of a similar reference in the 17 December Announcement, this statement in the 14 January Circular gave the impression that the communication to Credit Corp occurred after 17 December 2025 and before 14 January 2026 when in fact Credit Corp was informed on 28 November 2025 that $0.77 per share would not get a Humm board recommendation. | `pages/media-releases-index__07.html (http://www.takeovers.gov.au/media-releases/tp26-021)` |\n| $0 | The December Acquisitions were contrary to an efficient, competitive and informed market, with Mr Abercrombie and his Associated Entities acquiring approximately 3% in Humm where the 17 December Announcement was misleading and in the following surrounding circumstances:\nwhen the Credit Corp Proposal was received, Mr Abercrombie informed the Humm board on the same day that “\nthere will be no IBC”\nMr Abercrombie took the lead as the primary point o |

its advisers, communicated to Credit Corp that while the $0.77 offer was not viewed as compelling, there was a willingness to engage and provide due diligence in order to ascertain whether there was a path to a transaction that could deliver appropriate certainty and value for all shareholders\n.” – see paragraph 43\n5\nIn a submission to the Panel dated 19 F | `pages/media-releases-index__07.html

self-executing and does not explain how the two-tier Offer price structure is implemented in accordance with [the provision relating to extensions and other variations of takeover offers, namely]

Compliance\nRelease number\nTP26/022\nFriday, 24 April 2026\nDocument download\nDocument\nTP26/022\nDownload\nOn 26 February 2026, the Panel accepted an undertaking from Humm Group Limited (\nHumm\n) on the issues of insider participation and management of conflicts of interest in relation to an application submitted on 26 January 2026 by Akat Investments Pty Ltd in relation to the affairs of Humm (\nUndertaking\n) (see\nTP26/009\n).\n  Source: `pages/media-releases-index__06.html (http://www.takeovers.gov.au/media-releases/tp26-022)`\n- On 13 April 2026, Humm submitted (among other things), in response to the Panel’s letter dated 8 April 2026, that “\nCampell Howe has run an efficient, professional and independent process resulting in the identification of two highly experienced, highly regarded and highly credentialled independent non‑executive directors whom Humm considers are suitably qualified and experienced to chair the IBC and be appointed as directors\n.”\nOn 15 April 2026, the Panel requested, and received, confirmation from each of the two new directors of Humm that:\nthey can be characterised as independent directors of Humm having regard to the ASX’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations and\nthey are wholly independent of Mr Abercrombie (and any other director) and free of any relationships that may, or may be perceived to, compromise their judgment when participating in IBC decisions.\n  Source: `pages/media-releases-index__06.html (http://www.takeovers.gov.au/media-releases/tp26-022)`\n- On 25 June 2025, Humm announced that after the close of the market on 23 June 2025, it had received a non‑binding indicative offer from The Abercrombie Group Pty Ltd (\nTAG\n), the family office of Mr Abercrombie, to acquire all of the shares on issue in Humm (that are not currently held by TAG and its associates) by way of a scheme of arrangement, at a cash price of $0.58 per share compared to a closing price on 23 June 2025 of $0.43 (\nTAG Proposal\n).\n  Source: `pages/media-releases-index__07.html (http://www.takeovers.gov.au/media-releases/tp26-021)`\n- To be clear this has nothing to do with the past and there are no conflict issues.\n”\nHumm submitted\n4\nthat:\n“\nFrom the time that the Credit Corp Proposal was received, the Humm Board did not consider the proposal to be compelling, including for the following key reasons:\nThe $0.72 and $0.77 per share offered by Credit Corp for the Takeover Offer and the Scheme respectively was below the Board's view of the underlying value of Humm's shares, as supported by an Expert Valuation issued to the IBC in the context of the TAG Proposal and prior to the receipt of the Credit Corp Proposal.\n…\n”\nHumm also submitted\n5\nthat\n  Source: `pages/media-releases-index__07.html (http://www.takeovers.gov.au/media-releases/tp26-021)`\n- Accordingly, in order for the Board to be comfortable with providing diligence they needed confidence that there is a path for Credit Corp to materially improve the value.\n” In a file note dated 28 November 2025 that was sent to the Chief Executive Officer of Credit Corp, Macquarie Capital similarly relayed: “\nTwo issues of clarification from the H / Flagstaff side:… Value:… 77c will not get a board recommendation / ‘non‑starter’ – based on knowledge of register, will not get shareholders over the line\n”.\n  Source: `pages/media-releases-index__07.html (http://www.takeovers.gov.au/media-releases/tp26-021)`\n- While individual directors may have individually held or expressed a view that the price offered by Credit Corp was not sufficiently compelling for the Board to recommend to Humm shareholders, this view had not been discussed let alone 'determined' by the full Board at the time of the announcement.\n”\nWhen the Humm directors were asked by the Panel on 7 March 2026 what consideration was given, when finalising the 17 December Announcement, to the fact that Credit Corp was aware that $0.77 was not enough to obtain a board recommendation, Ms Fleming submitted that “\nI was not of the view, and have never been of the view, that $0.77 was not, would not, or may not be sufficient to obtain a board recommendation…If anything, my view was that a takeover could be an excellent outcome for shareholders if an acceptable price could be agreed following due diligence and negotiation.\n  Source: `pages/media-releases-index__07.html (http://www.takeovers.gov.au/media-releases/tp26-021)`\n- On 16 February 2026, Humm submitted that “\n[t]o be clear, Humm has no intention of forming an IBC to consider the Credit Corp Proposal for the simple reason that there would be no basis to do so.\n” On 26 February 2026, Humm gave an undertaking to the Panel to, among other things:\nestablish an independent board committee and\n“If a non‑disclosure agreement with Credit Corp Group Limited (\nNDA\n) is not executed by 5 March 2026, Humm will explain the status of the NDA and the efforts it has taken to finalise the NDA in an ASX announcement in a form approved by the Panel (\nNDA Announcement\n) and will issue an NDA Announcement every five ASX trading days thereafter until such time as the NDA has been executed”\n.\n  Source: `pages/media-releases-index__07.html (http://www.takeovers.gov.au/media-releases/tp26-021)`\n- Given the absence of a similar reference in the 17 December Announcement, this statement in the 14 January Circular gave the impression that the communication to Credit Corp occurred after 17 December 2025 and before 14 January 2026 when in fact Credit Corp was informed on 28 November 2025 that $0.77 per share would not get a Humm board recommendation.\n  Source: `pages/media-releases-index__07.html (http://www.takeovers.gov.au/media-releases/tp26-021)`\n- The December Acquisitions were contrary to an efficient, competitive and informed market, with Mr Abercrombie and his Associated Entities acquiring approximately 3% in Humm where the 17 December Announcement was misleading and in the following surrounding circumstances:\nwhen the Credit Corp Proposal was received, Mr Abercrombie informed the Humm board on the same day that “\nthere will be no IBC”\nMr Abercrombie took the lead as the primary point of contact in relation to the Credit Corp Proposal and chaired the board meetings of:\n21 November 2025, where the Humm board decided there would be no independent board committee and\n16 December 2025, where the Humm board settled the 17 December Announcement\nMr Abercrombie had informed Credit Corp that the Credit Corp Proposal was\n“of no interest to him”\n, Mr Abercrombie’s Associated Entities were unlikely sellers at $0.\n  Source: `pages/media-releases-index__07.html (http://www.takeovers.gov.au/media-releases/tp26-021)`\n- The statement in Humm’s circular released on the ASX on 14 January 2026 that\n“[t]he humm Board, through its advisers, communicated to Credit Corp that while the $0.77 offer was not viewed as compelling…”\nwas misleading and contrary to an efficient, competitive and informed market, because (among other things) in the absence of a similar reference in the 17 December 2025 announcement, this statement gave the impression that the communication to Credit Corp occurred after 17 December 2025 and before

in the context of the TAG Proposal (which was announced to ASX on 25 June 2025), showing that the bottom end of the control value range was a value which was above the $0.72 and $0.77 per share later offered by Credit Corp (see paragraph 14 below).\n  Source: `pages/media-releases-index__07.html (http://www.takeovers.gov.au/media-releases/tp26-021)`\n- 13\nOn 15 December 2025, Humm received a notice under section 203D of the\nCorporations Act 2001\n(Cth) (\nAct\n) from Mr Jeremy Raper and Sandhurst Trustees Limited as custodian for Collins St Value Fund (\nConvening Shareholders\n) stating an intention to move resolutions at a general meeting to remove Messrs Abercrombie, Hines and Darbyshire as directors of Humm, along with any other director appointed on or after 15 December 2025 (\nSection 203D Notice\n).\n  Source: `pages/media-releases-index__07.html (http://www.takeovers.gov.au/media-releases/tp26-021)`\n- Humm further submitted\n15\nthat the 17 December Announcement “\nproperly read\n” was consistent with its earlier submission (see paragraph 16) that “\nfrom the time that the Credit Corp Proposal was received, the Humm Board did not consider the proposal to be compelling, including because the $0.72 and $0.77 per share offered by Credit Corp was below the Board's view of the underlying value of Humm's shares, as supported by an expert valuation issued to the IBC in the context of the TAG Proposal and prior to the receipt of the Credit Corp Proposal.\n”\nHowever, 9 days later Humm submitted\n16\nthat “\nno determination had been made by the Board to reject or not recommend the Credit Corp Proposal at the price of $0.77.\n  Source: `pages/media-releases-index__07.html (http://www.takeovers.gov.au/media-releases/tp26-021)`\n- While individual
