Proposed sale of business and assets

Thank you for your continuing support of TY.

In the aftermath of COVID, the Company raised a convertible note in May 2022 to fund the business to enter the US market. The intention was to demonstrate traction in the US growing season to support a Series B capital raise in late 2023.  

The planned raise did not prove possible and at the time the Company informed shareholders that the capital markets were very challenging, a situation made worse in the US with the collapse of Silicon Valley and First Republic Banks.

Investors remain risk averse and valuations are constrained. Investors are prioritising profitable companies rather than potential growth companies. The Yield which has material ongoing investment requirements to further develop its platform technology and operates in an industry where adoption has proved slow for a variety of reasons.

TY revenue growth has been adversely affected by the difficult weather conditions faced by the industry in Australia and New Zealand over the last couple of years and slower than expected traction in the US. La Nina caused widescale flooding across eastern Australia in 2022 which negatively affected specialty crop producers. In response to this, the Company made a decision to focus on the NZ market whilst Australia recovered, only to then have the entire Hawkes Bay area wiped out by a cyclone. The impact on growers and the community has been devastating. This resulted in key contracts under negotiation being put on hold while the industry focused on recovery.

As a result, the business has experienced difficulties  in achieving sales targets. In specialty crops the impact of inflation has also both depressed demand for their produce as well as driven up input costs.

In 2023 TY Board consulted major shareholders having failed in its attempts to raise capital. At the time the best option to enable the company to continue was to accept a further convertible note from YAM. Since that time the Company has made progress with its technology and has built a presence in the US market but revenue has not materialised at the expected rate.

The Board has been in active discussions with large Shareholders to determine at path forward in the current difficult circumstances. In addition, the Board sought advice from firms specialising in capital raising in both Australia and US on alternative options to finance the business, none of which proved successful.

Following discussions, the Board received an offer from YAM to acquire the assets of TY. Whilst the Board’s preferred approach was to sell the company and potentially enable shareholders to continue to maintain an interest in the business, YAM’s strategy is to acquire the assets and include TY technology in its global agriculture platform.

The Board commissioned Leadenhall to undertake an independent valuation of the business and Leadenhall valued the business between $17 – $30 million with a recommended range of $25 – $30 million.  The YAMoffer values the Company’s assets at $27M which is the higher end of the range and matches the cap in the 2023 Convertible Notes.

The Board retained Grant Thornton to conduct an analysis of the financial alternatives available and the conclusion was that the YAM offer was the best outcome for shareholders, creditors, employees and customers, compared to the alternative of placing the company into voluntary administration.

After due considerations by the Board of the options available to the Company, on 30th  April 2024 the Company signed a conditional Asset Purchase Agreement (Asset Purchase Agreement or APA) with entities associated with YAM (Purchasers), under which the Company agreed to sell to the Purchasers the business and assets of the Company (other than certain excluded assets which will be retained by the Company (Excluded Assets)), subject to certain conditions being satisfied (including obtaining the requisite shareholder approval) (Proposed Transaction).

A summary of the key terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement is set out in Attachment 1.

The purchase price payable by the Purchasers for the business and assets under the Proposed Transaction is A$27,000,000 (Purchase Price), which will be satisfied as follows:

* each of YAM (YAM Noteholders), accept the transfer of such business and assets to the Purchasers in satisfaction of YAM rights to receive a redemption payment under their convertible notes (this will be approximately A$23,975,509 as at 30 June 2024) (YAM Redemption Amount); and
 

* the remaining amount of the Purchase Price less the YAM Redemption Amount will be paid in cash to the Company at Completion.

Under the Proposed Transaction, on completion of the Asset Purchase Agreement (Completion) the Company will pay the other holders of Notes (i..e excluding the YAM Noteholders) (Minority Noteholders) a redemption payment equal to the principal plus interest on those Notes up to the proposed Completion date. The Company will then use the Excluded Assets, to cover certain remaining liabilities of the Company which are not assumed by the Purchasers as part of the Proposed Transaction (Excluded Liabilities). To the extent that the Excluded Assets are insufficient to cover the Excluded Liabilities and other post-Completion liabilities of the Company, the Purchasers have agreed to cover such liabilities up to an amount of A$1,000,000.

It is contemplated that shortly after Completion, the Company will be wound up by way of a members’ voluntary liquidation. We expect a small distribution to shareholders in accordance with the preference waterfall. This likely means only A3 shareholders will receive any return.

Having considered the current circumstances of the Company and the lack of other viable options in a difficult economic environment, the Directors are of the opinion that the Proposed Transaction is in the best interests of the Company as a whole as:

(a)  it would allow the business of the Company to continue to be operated under the ownership of the Purchasers;

(b)  under the APA, one of the Purchasers will agree to make offers of employment to substantially all of the employees of the Company;

(c)  as part of the Proposed Transaction, YAM will agree that the transfer of the business and assets to the Purchasers will be in full satisfaction of YAM rights to receive redemption payments that they would otherwise be entitled to upon Completion occurring, and YAM would waive any other right of payment under the Note Deed Polls;

(d)  the purchase price for the sale of the business and assets to the Purchasers have been negotiated on arm’s length terms and based on an independent valuation and the valuation cap;

(e)  the purchase price would include a payment of approximately $3 million by the Purchasers to the Company at Completion of the APA with an expected small distribution to shareholders;

(f)  following Completion, the Company would be able to be wound up in an orderly manner.

Following below is a summary of the key terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

Shareholder Approval Provided

Under the Shareholders Deed (clause 6.3.1), the Company must not effect, or authorise or approve, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's and its subsidiaries’ assets or intellectual property, taken as a whole, by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (except to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company), without the written approval of the holders of a minimum of 65% of the Series A3 Preference Shares on issue.

The assets proposed to be sold by the Company to YAM under the Asset Purchase Agreement comprise substantially all of the Company’s assets and intellectual property, taken as a whole.

Accordingly, the Company sought and received the approval of the holders of a minimum of 65% of the Series A3 Preference Shares on issue to the Proposed Transaction for the purpose of clause 6.3.1 of the Shareholders Deed. There is no other approval required from other shareholders for the Proposed Transaction.

Next steps

TY and YAM are working through the various conditions precedent to close the deal. We expect that will happen no later than the 30th June 2024. Once the assets are transferred TY will be wound up via a Members Voluntary Liquidation. You will be notified once Completion of the Proposed Transaction has occurred, and your approval (as required by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)) for the Members Voluntary Liquidation will be sought at that time.

(Names changed, you can never be too sure)

The Unemployment Rate Trap: Why NZD/CAD Traders Keep Falling for It (And How You Can Profit Instead) Picture this: You’re sipping your morning coffee, chart open, feeling confident. The New Zealand unemployment rate just dropped like your Wi-Fi connection during a webinar, and you instinctively hit “Buy NZD/CAD.” Fast forward a few hours—the market moves against you like a stubborn cat refusing to leave your laptop. What happened? You fell into the classic unemployment rate trap. But don’t worry; we’re about to dissect this like a trading ninja and uncover how the pros are turning this data release into profit gold. Why the NZD/CAD Pair Moves Differently (It’s Not What You Think) Sure, economic theory tells you lower unemployment is bullish for a currency. But NZD/CAD? This pair dances to its own rhythm—and sometimes it’s breakdancing while everyone else is waltzing. Hidden Reality #1: The “Good News” Fakeout When New Zealand’s unemployment rate improves, retail traders often pile into NZD, expecting a smooth rally. But institutions? They’ve already priced it in—or worse, they’re fading your optimism faster than you can say “stop-loss.” Insider Tip: When unemployment data is better than expected, the smart money often sells into the spike. Why? Because they know retail traders chase news, creating liquidity for their exits. Hidden Reality #2: Canadian Jobs Data Is Sneakier Than You Realize Canada’s labor data can quietly sabotage your NZD/CAD setup. Imagine this: NZ unemployment hits a 5-year low, you buy NZD/CAD, but Canada drops a surprise employment surge a day later. Boom—your “bullish setup” is now a bearish regret. Ninja Move: Always check Canada’s employment calendar before trading NZD/CAD unemployment. You’re trading two economies, not one. The Underrated Power of Labor Force Participation Rate You know what’s sexier than the unemployment rate? Participation rate. Yeah, I said it. A falling unemployment rate sometimes masks a shrinking labor force. Translation? It’s not bullish—it’s just people giving up on jobs. If participation is falling alongside lower unemployment, NZD strength may be an illusion. Elite Hack: Track the labor force participation rate alongside unemployment. If both drop, institutions often short NZD rallies, anticipating weaker future growth. The Real Magic: Wage Growth vs. Job Numbers Here’s what the elite traders are REALLY watching: wage growth. A 4.0% unemployment rate means little if wages are stagnant. But a modest 5.0% unemployment rate with rising wages? Now you’ve got fuel for NZD strength. Game-Changing Insight: If wage growth exceeds expectations, that’s your real bullish signal on NZD/CAD—even if unemployment seems “meh.” The Institutional Playbook: Front-Running the Herd Ever notice NZD/CAD sometimes moves HOURS before unemployment data? Institutions often position ahead of retail traders by analyzing proprietary surveys and business sentiment data. Little-Known Weapon: NZIER Quarterly Survey of Business Opinion (QSBO) is a goldmine. It often hints at labor market strength weeks before official data drops. Institutions track it religiously; so should you. How to Profit: A Step-by-Step Blueprint - Analyze Labor Quality, Not Just Quantity: Before NZD/CAD unemployment data, check wage growth and participation rate. - Front-Run with QSBO: Track New Zealand’s QSBO for hints on labor trends before the market. - Canadian Labor Hedge: Always assess upcoming CAD employment data. Use it to hedge or adjust your NZD/CAD bias. - Fade Retail Euphoria: If NZ unemployment beats expectations but participation falls, consider shorting NZD/CAD after the initial spike. - Wage Growth Breakout: Strong wage data with stable or improving participation? That’s your NZD/CAD breakout signal—go long with conviction. Expert Voices: What the Pros Say - Kathy Lien, Managing Director at BK Asset Management: “Wage growth is the real catalyst. Traders obsessed with headline unemployment miss the underlying drivers of currency strength.” (Source). - Marc Chandler, Chief Market Strategist at Bannockburn Global Forex: “Smart money often sells into retail enthusiasm post-data releases. Staying one step ahead requires focusing on wage dynamics and forward-looking indicators.” (Source). Underground Pattern: The “Double Surprise” Setup This is an institutional favorite. When both NZ and CAD jobs data surprise in opposite directions, the move on NZD/CAD can be explosive. Example: In July 2023, New Zealand’s jobless rate beat expectations, but Canada shocked with a blowout employment gain. NZD/CAD spiked initially, then reversed violently within hours—savvy traders bagged both moves. Pro Move: Set alerts for both data releases. If one surprises up and the other down, pounce with a momentum strategy. Final Thought: Don’t Be a Data Victim—Be a Data Hunter Retail traders react. Pros anticipate. Which side will you choose? Key Takeaways: - Unemployment rate data can mislead; participation rate and wage growth reveal the truth. - Institutions often sell into retail optimism on good data. - NZIER QSBO survey hints at labor trends pre-data release. - Dual country risk: Always check Canadian employment calendar alongside NZ data. - Double Surprise setup: Explosive moves when NZ and CAD data diverge sharply.

Why Rural Sales Training in NZ Is Essential for Your Business Growth

Struggling with Rural Sales in New Zealand? You’re Not Alone.

Selling to farmers and rural businesses is nothing like selling in the city. The rural market is built on trust, long-term relationships, and a deep understanding of the industry. If your sales team is struggling to connect with rural clients, failing to close deals, or facing stiff competition, you’re not alone. Many sales professionals in agribusiness face these challenges. The good news? Rural sales training in NZ can help turn things around.

What Is Rural Sales Training, and Why Does It Matter?

Rural sales training goes beyond basic sales techniques. It’s about understanding the unique mindset of farmers, contractors, and agribusiness owners. These customers don’t just want a sales pitch—they need someone who understands their daily struggles, business challenges, and long-term goals.

Without the right approach, even the best products and services can get overlooked. A strong training program teaches sales professionals how to:

Speak the language of rural clients

Build trust and long-term relationships

Address customer pain points effectively

Close deals without being pushy

With the right skills, your team can stop chasing customers and start having meaningful conversations that lead to sales.

Which Rural Sales Training Providers in New Zealand Are Worth Considering?

If you’re looking for rural sales training providers in New Zealand, here are some options:

Rural Sales Success – Offers specialized training, including the Rural Sales Manager Mastery Programme, focusing on sales leadership, team motivation, and productivity.

Agrarian – Provides sales coaching and rural CRM solutions to help businesses improve their sales strategies.

Rural Coach – Focuses on leadership, communication, and team culture within rural sales teams.

How Do You Choose the Right Training Program?

Not all training programs are created equal. When choosing a provider, ask yourself:

Do they understand rural New Zealand? A training program tailored for urban sales won’t cut it.

Are their strategies practical? Sales teams need real-world techniques, not just theories.

Do they offer ongoing support? Sales success isn’t built in a day—it requires continuous learning.

How Can Rural Sales Training Benefit Your Team?

Many businesses don’t invest in sales training because they assume their team will learn through experience. But this often leads to frustration, lost opportunities, and wasted time. Investing in the right training can:

Boost sales conversions by improving communication skills

Help teams confidently handle objections and customer concerns

Strengthen client relationships, leading to repeat business

Reduce the stress and frustration of unsuccessful sales efforts

Is Online Rural Sales Training Available in NZ?

Yes! If travel is a challenge, many providers offer online training options. Rural Sales Success, for example, provides flexible online modules so sales professionals can learn at their own pace while applying the skills in real-life situations.

How Can You Measure the Success of Rural Sales Training?

To know if training is making a difference, track these key factors:

Sales growth before and after training

Improved customer engagement and trust

Higher deal closure rates

Positive feedback from clients and team members

What’s the Cost of Rural Sales Training in New Zealand?

Costs can vary based on the provider, duration, and level of customization. Some programs offer one-off training, while others provide long-term coaching and mentorship. It’s best to reach out to providers directly for pricing and funding options.

Ready to Improve Your Rural Sales Strategy?

If your team is struggling to connect with rural clients, investing in rural sales training NZ could be the game-changer you need. With the right training, your sales professionals can build trust, close more deals, and stay ahead of the competition.

Don’t let missed opportunities hold your business back. Find the right rural sales training provider in New Zealand today!

Freight Logistics in NZ

Freight Logistics in NZ: A Backbone of the Economy

Freight Logistics in NZ sector plays a critical role in connecting businesses, industries, and consumers across the country and internationally. With a unique geographical layout and a thriving export market, the logistics industry is essential for keeping the wheels of the economy turning.

The Structure of NZ’s Freight Logistics Sector

The logistics industry in New Zealand encompasses road, rail, sea, and air transport networks. Each mode of transport is uniquely suited to meet the diverse needs of the economy:

Road Freight:

Road transport is the backbone of the domestic freight sector. It facilitates the movement of goods between cities, towns, and rural areas. Trucks handle over 90% of the nation’s freight by volume, making it vital for industries such as agriculture, retail, and construction.

Rail Freight:

Rail plays a key role in moving bulk goods like timber, coal, and dairy products. KiwiRail, New Zealand’s primary rail operator, provides a sustainable and cost-effective alternative for long-distance and high-volume transport.

Sea Freight:

As an island nation, sea freight is crucial for New Zealand’s export and import economy. Ports such as Auckland, Tauranga, and Lyttelton serve as international trade hubs, handling large volumes of goods ranging from agricultural produce to manufactured products.

Air Freight:

Although air freight handles a smaller volume, it is essential for transporting high-value or time-sensitive goods, such as perishable food items, electronics, and pharmaceuticals.

Challenges in Freight Logistics

New Zealand’s logistics sector faces several challenges, including:

Geographical Constraints: The country’s remote location and rugged terrain can make transportation expensive and time-consuming.

Sustainability: Reducing the carbon footprint of freight operations is a growing priority, with a shift towards greener practices.

Infrastructure Development: Ensuring efficient and modern infrastructure, such as roads, ports, and railways, is vital to keeping pace with demand.

Technology Integration: Adopting innovative technologies like automation, IoT, and data analytics can enhance efficiency and reduce costs.

Opportunities for Growth

Despite these challenges, there are numerous opportunities to strengthen the sector:

Increased Investment in Infrastructure: Ongoing government projects aim to improve transport networks, ensuring smoother freight operations.

Technology Adoption: Advancements in logistics software and tracking systems are revolutionizing supply chain management.

Focus on Sustainability: Transitioning to electric and hybrid freight vehicles and optimizing routes can reduce environmental impact.

Conclusion

Freight Logistics in NZ is an indispensable component of the nation’s economy. By addressing challenges and embracing innovation, the industry can continue to grow and support the country’s domestic and international trade. As the backbone of connectivity, freight logistics ensures that goods reach their destinations efficiently and sustainably, contributing to a brighter economic future for New Zealand.
