The examples provided are based on a hypothetical and limited scenario.\nWe have designed the template as a guidance tool (not a prescribed form) and use of the template is optional. It is not a compliance tool or a mechanism to protect your company against liability.\nInstructions\nYou may use this template as a starting point to draft your company’s CSF offer document; however, you should remove all ASIC instructions, example text and headers/footers.\nThis template contains instructions about the minimum information that must be included in a CSF offer document under the Corporations Regulations, including the mandatory headings for the four key sections and the order of the sections. Information within each section is not required to follow a prescribed order and you may use cross-references to information within the document, where information would otherwise be duplicated. We have provided cross-references to where more detailed guidance can be found in Section D of RG 261.\nThe information in your company’s CSF offer document should be tailored to the circumstances of your company and we recognise that the presentation, style, content and length of a CSF offer document will vary depending on certain matters, including the complexity of your company.\nWhen drafting your company’s CSF offer document you should:\navoid making the document too long – focus on information that is required by law, is material to an investor’s decision or may be useful for investors to know\nuse plain language to assist investors in understanding the information\nwhere appropriate, use tables, charts and other visual tools to present information in a way that is easy for investors to read.\nWe encourage you to present and format your company’s CSF offer document in a way that enhances the readability, accessibility and digital compatibility of the document for retail investors.\nNew Co Limited\nCrowd-sourced funding offer document\ndated [day] [month] [year]\nOffer of fully-paid ordinary shares in New Co Limited at $1 per share to raise a maximum of $1,000,000\nThis crowd-sourced funding (CSF) offer document relates to the Offer of fully-paid ordinary shares in New Co Limited.
