​

2. Background to the 120RLC Product

​

The 120RLC Product is part of a suite of PayLater Products Elepay offers to Australian Property Owners who anticipate that a
monetization event will occur in the foreseeable future (primarily, the sale of real property but may also include the refinance
with a third-party lender).

An “Australian Property Owner” includes:

• any person or entity who is a registered proprietor to real property held in Australia (Owner);

• any person or entity who is an appointed representative of an Owner (e.g. appointed attorney or executor of a deceased estate); or

• any person or entity who has the express consent of the Owner to acquire the 120RLC Product relating to the Owner’s
  property (for example, Elepay may require the registered proprietor to sign a Deed of Consent).

​

The primary objective of the 120RLC Product is to allow these property owners the opportunity to better manage their cash
flow by allowing them to defer any upfront costs relating to their property until the occurrence of the monetization event.

To offer the 120RLC Product, we have partnered up with a number of styling companies, pre-listing companies, renovation
companies and real estate agents to allow property owners to defer payment of expenses relating to:

• home renovation and improvement;

• property styling (to sell) and interior design;

• other property-related works or expense,

       (Sale Costs).
