About Pivotal Systems Corporation (ASX: PVS)

Notice to U.S. persons: restriction on purchasing CDIs

Pivotal Systems is incorporated in the State of Delaware and its securities have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 or the laws of any state or other jurisdiction in the United States. Trading of Pivotal Systems' CHESS Depositary Interests ("CDIs") on the Australian Securities Exchange is not subject to the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act in reliance on Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act and a related 'no action' letter issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to the ASX in 2000. As a result, the CDIs are "restricted securities" (as defined in Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act) and may not be sold or otherwise transferred except in transactions exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act. For instance, U.S. persons who are qualified institutional buyers ("QIBs", as defined in Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act) may purchase CDIs in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A. To enforce the transfer restrictions, the CDIs bear a FOR Financial Product designation on the ASX. This designation restricts CDIs from being purchased by U.S. persons except those who are QIBs. In addition, hedging transactions with regard to the CDIs may only be conducted in compliance with the U.S. Securities Act.

Important notice

Not for distribution or release in the United States

This Retail Offer Booklet is dated 10 February 2022 and relates to the Retail Entitlement Offer which is part of the Entitlement Offer by the Company to raise approximately A$14.8 million.

This Retail Offer Booklet has been issued by the Company. The Retail Entitlement Offer is made pursuant to section 708AA of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act) (as notionally modified by ASIC Corporations (Non- Traditional Rights Issues) Instrument 2016/84, ASIC Corporations (Disregarding Technical Relief) Instrument 2016/73 and ASIC Class Order 14/827). This Retail Offer Booklet is not a prospectus or product disclosure statement under the Corporations Act and has not been lodged with ASIC. This Retail Offer Booklet does not contain all of the information which would be required to be disclosed in a prospectus or product disclosure statement. As a result, it is important for you to read and understand the publicly available information on the Company and the Entitlement Offer prior to deciding whether to accept your Entitlement and/or apply for Additional CDIs including the Company's announcements on ASX.

Neither the Lead Manager nor its related bodies corporate or affiliates, nor any of their respective directors, officers, partners, employees, representatives, contractors, consultants, agents or advisers (together, the Lead Manager Parties) has authorised, permitted or caused the issue or lodgement, submission, despatch or provision of this Retail Offer Booklet and there is no statement in this Retail Offer Booklet which is based on any statement made by the Lead Manager or by any Lead Manager Party. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Lead Manager Party expressly disclaims all duties and liabilities (including for fault, negligence and negligent misstatement) in respect of, and makes no representations or warranties regarding, and takes no responsibility for, any part of this Retail Offer Booklet or any action taken by you on the basis of the information in this Retail Offer Booklet, and makes no representation or warranty as to the fairness, currency, accuracy, reliability or completeness of this Retail Offer Booklet.

Delaware law, Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaw

As a foreign Company registered in Australia, and incorporated in Delaware, United States, the Company is not subject to Chapters 6, 6A, 6B and 6C of the Corporations Act dealing with the acquisition of shares (including substantial shareholdings and takeovers). Under the provisions of Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL), Shares are freely transferable subject to restrictions imposed by US federal or state securities laws, by the Company's certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or by an agreement signed with the holders of the shares at issue. The Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws do not impose any specific restrictions on transfer. However, provisions of the DGCL, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and the Company's Bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire the Company by means of a tender offer (takeover), a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and Directors of the Company. These provisions could discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and takeover bids that the Board may consider inadequate and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of the Company to first negotiate with the Board. The Company believes that the benefits of increased protection of its ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure

the Company outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover or acquisition proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
