Letter from the Chairman
9 December 2015
Dear Shareholder,
On behalf of the Board of Pulse, I am pleased to invite you to participate in the Entitlement Offer which provides Eligible Shareholders with the opportunity to subscribe for 2 New Shares for every 5 Shares held at the Record Date, being, 7:00pm (Sydney time) on Thursday, 10 December 2015, at the Offer Price of $0.47 per New Share.
Pulse is seeking to raise $31 million under the Entitlement Offer (before costs), through the issue of up to approximately 65.8 million New Shares.
In conjunction with the Entitlement Offer, Pulse successfully completed an Institutional Placement on Tuesday, 8 December 2015 under which Pulse raised $11.5 million (before costs) through an offer of approximately 24.5 million New Shares at the same price as the Offer Price to existing and new Institutional Investors.
The aggregate amount Pulse is seeking to raise under the Entitlement Offer and Institutional Placement is $42.5 million (before costs).
Use of funds
Net proceeds of the Entitlement Offer and from the Institutional Placement will be used for the purpose of funding the acquisitions by Pulse of:
• the Boulcott Hospital in Wellington, New Zealand; and
• five day surgeries and an acute hospital across New South Wales, Victoria, and Western Australia.
Some of the proceeds of the Entitlement Offer will also be used to reduce the Company’s net debt.
If the Acquisitions do not complete for any reason, net proceeds of the Entitlement Offer and Institutional Placement will be used for the purpose of increasing working capital and paying down existing debt before being ultimately used to pursue other growth opportunities.
The Acquisitions
Boulcott Hospital is located in Hutt Valley, approximately 20 minutes north of Wellington CBD. Boulcott Hospital has three operating theatres, 29 inpatient beds, a nine bed day-surgery suite and an endoscopy unit.
The Australian facilities, which predominantly specialise in endoscopy, general surgery, orthopaedics and ophthalmology, are:
• Healthwoods Specialist Centre (NSW);
• Westminster Day Surgery (WA);
• Hobson Healthcare Altona (VIC);
• Hobson Healthcare Werribee (VIC);
• Hobson Healthcare Sydenham (VIC; and
• Waikiki Private Hospital (WA).
The acquisition of Boulcott Hospital provides a solid platform for growth into the attractive New Zealand market, and opens an additional growth pipeline for the Company. The acquisition of the Australian day surgery facilities further enhances Pulse’s capability as a day surgery operator, as well providing a best in class beachhead in specialist endoscopy provision.

The Entitlement Offer
Under the Entitlement Offer, Eligible Shareholders will be entitled to acquire 2 New Shares for every 5 Shares held at the Record Date at $0.47 per New Share. New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer, will rank equally with existing Shares on issue.
The Offer Price per New Share represents a discount of approximately:
• 6.5% to the 30 day volume weighted average price of Pulse shares on the ASX to 2 December 2015 of $0.503;
• 3.1% to the last closing price of Pulse shares on the ASX on 2 December 2015 of $0.485; and
• 2.0% to the theoretical ex-rights price.
The Entitlement Offer is being fully underwritten by Petra Capital Pty Limited under the Underwriting Agreement, described in section 4.1 of this Retail Offer Booklet.
The Entitlement Offer comprises an institutional component (Institutional Entitlement Offer) and a retail component (Retail Entitlement Offer). The Institutional Entitlement Offer was completed on Tuesday, 8 December 2015 and, together with the associated Institutional Shortfall Bookbuild and underwriting of the Institutional Entitlement Offer, raised approximately $19.05 million (before costs).
Each of the Directors who holds Shares, or controls an entity which holds Shares, intends that the full Entitlements applicable to those Shares will be taken up under the Entitlement Offer.
Pulse is seeking to raise approximately $11.89 million (before costs) under the Retail Entitlement Offer. The Offer Price under Retail Entitlement Offer is the same as the Offer Price under the Institutional Entitlement Offer. This Retail Offer Booklet relates to the Retail Entitlement Offer.
Eligible Retail Shareholders who take up their full Entitlements and wish to take up more than their pro-rata allocation of New Shares can apply for Additional New Shares at the same offer price as the Entitlement Offer pursuant to the Top Up Facility described in section 1.7 of this Retail Offer Booklet. New Shares will be allocated under the Top Up Facility in accordance with the allocation policy determined by the Board and the Underwriter, which is described in section 1.7.
The Retail Entitlement Offer closes at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on Thursday, 24 December 2015, unless extended. To participate you need to ensure that either your completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form and Application Money, or your Application Money submitted by BPAY
®, is received before this time in accordance with the instructions set out on
the Entitlement and Acceptance Form and section 2.2 of this Retail Offer Booklet.
Entitlements are non-renounceable and therefore will not be tradeable on the ASX or otherwise transferable. Eligible Retail Shareholders who do not take up some or all of their Entitlements will not receive any value in respect of those Entitlements.
This Retail Offer Booklet contains details of the Entitlement Offer, instructions on how to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer and information on risk factors relevant to an investment in Pulse. Please read this Retail Offer Booklet in full and consult your stockbroker, accountant or other professional adviser before making a decision in relation to the Retail Entitlement Offer.
For more information on recent developments of the Company, please refer to the Company’s public announcements that are released to the ASX, which are available from the ASX’s website (at www.asx.com.au) and the Company’s website (at www.pulsehealth.net.au).
On behalf of the Directors, I thank you for your support of the Company to date and commend the Retail Entitlement Offer to you.
Yours sincerely
Stuart James Chairman

The offer price under the Institutional Shortfall Bookbuild was $0.47 per New Share, being the same as the Offer Price under the Entitlement Offer.

1.4 Your Entitlements under the Retail Entitlement Offer
Your Entitlement to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer is shown on the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form and has been calculated based on 2 New Shares for every 5 Shares you held at the Record Date.
Fractional Entitlements have been rounded up to the nearest whole number.
If you have more than one holding of Shares, you will be sent separate personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Forms and will receive a separate Entitlement for each holding.
1.5 Closing Date
Pulse will accept applications under the Retail Entitlement Offer from the date of this Retail Offer Booklet until 7:00pm (Sydney time) on Thursday, 24 December 2015 (or such other date as the Directors in their absolute discretion determine, in consultation with the Underwriter, subject to the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules).
1.6 Eligibility to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer
Eligible Retail Shareholders are those Shareholders who at the Record Date for the Retail Entitlement Offer:
• have a registered address listed on Pulse’s share register in Australia or New Zealand;
• were not invited to participate (other than a nominee, in respect of underlying holdings) under the Institutional Entitlement Offer and are not being treated as an Ineligible Institutional Shareholder under the Institutional Entitlement Offer;
• are not in the United States and are not a US person or acting for the account of or benefit of a person in the United States or a US Person; and
• are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Retail Entitlement Offer, without the use of a prospectus, disclosure document or other lodgement, filing, registration or qualification.
The Entitlement Offer is not being extended to Shareholders who do not meet the above criteria unless Pulse otherwise determines.
1.7 Top Up Facility
Eligible Retail Shareholders who take up their Entitlement in full, may also subscribe for Additional New Shares in excess of their Entitlements under the Top Up Facility, at an offer price of $0.47 per New Share (being the same as the Offer Price per New Share under the Entitlement Offer).
Eligible Retail Shareholders can apply for any number of Additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility, provided that the issue of those New Shares will not result in a breach of the ASX Listing Rules or any applicable law. Additional New Shares will only be available under the Top Up Facility where there is a Retail Entitlement Shortfall (that is there is a shortfall between the number of New Shares applied for under the Retail Entitlement Offer and the number of New Shares offered to Eligible Retail Shareholders under the Retail Entitlement Offer).
Eligible Retail Shareholders who wish to apply for Additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility must do so at the same time as they apply for New Shares under the Retail Entitlement Offer. For information on how to apply for Additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility, please refer to the “Take up all of your Entitlement and apply for Additional New Shares” section in section 2.1 (Option 2) of this Retail Offer Booklet.
Additional New Shares will be issued under the Top Up Facility at the same time as New Shares are issued under the Retail Entitlement Offer.
If applications under the Top Up Facility exceed the Retail Entitlement Shortfall, those applications will be scaled back in proportion to each Applicant’s Shareholding as at the Record Date. The Directors retain the discretion to allocate Additional New Shares in a different manner, at their absolute discretion. No Additional New Shares will be issued to an Eligible Retail Shareholder if it will result in them increasing their voting power in Pulse above 20%. The Directors’ decision on the number of Additional New Shares allocated to Eligible Retail Shareholders will be final.
If scaling back occurs, Application Monies in relation to Additional New Shares applied for but not issued will be refunded as soon as possible following the Closing Date, without interest.
There is no guarantee that Eligible Retail Shareholders will receive any or all of the Additional New Shares which they apply for under the Top Up Facility.

1.8 Effects on control
The potential effect the Entitlement Offer will have on the control of Pulse, and the consequences of that effect, will depend on a number of factors, including investor demand and existing shareholdings. Given the structure of the Entitlement Offer as a pro-rata issue, the ratio and terms of the Entitlement Offer, the current level of holdings of substantial holders (based on substantial holding notices that have been given to the Company and lodged with ASX on or prior to the date of this Retail Offer Booklet) the Entitlement Offer not expected to have any material effect or consequence on the control of Pulse. Viburnum is currently Pulse’s largest shareholder holding 29.93% of the total number of Shares on issue in Pulse. Viburnum holds its 29.93% interest in the Company as trustee and manager for the VF Strategic Equities Fund. Wyllie Funds Management Pty Ltd ACN 125 989 693, Wyllie Group Pty Ltd ACN 008 763 120 and Mrs Rhonda Wyllie each have a relevant interest in the Shares held by Viburnum. In addition, Mr Craig Coleman, a non-executive director of the Company, is the Executive Chairman of Viburnum.
Viburnum was not invited to participate in the Institutional Placement and has confirmed to the Company that it does not intend to take up its Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer. However, Viburnum is willing to support Pulse in its desire to raise the maximum amount under the Entitlement Offer to ensure that it can secure the Acquisitions and, accordingly, has agreed to provide a sub-underwriting commitment to the Underwriter up to a commitment limit of $9.3 million. The Underwriter has agreed to pay Viburnum a sub-underwriting fee of 1% of the Offer Price for each New Share that Viburnum is called to subscribe for under its sub-underwriting commitment.
If the Underwriter calls upon Viburnum’s sub-underwriting commitment up to its commitment limit of $9.3 million, Viburnum’s voting power in Pulse would reduce from 29.93% to approximately 27.05%. If the Underwriter does not make any call on Viburnum’s sub-underwriting commitment, Viburnum’s voting power in Pulse would reduce from 29.93% to approximately 19.32%.
Eligible Retail Shareholders who do not take up their rights for New Shares under the Retail Entitlement Offer will have their percentage shareholding in Pulse diluted to the extent they do not take up their Entitlement in full. Each Ineligible Shareholders’ percentage shareholding in Pulse will be diluted by the Entitlement Offer.
1.9 Underwriting
The Entitlement Offer is being fully underwritten by Petra Capital Pty Limited. Any New Shares not taken up under the Institutional Entitlement Offer and associated Institutional Shortfall Bookbuild, the Retail Entitlement Offer, the Top Up Facility, or which would have been taken up by Ineligible Retail Shareholders had they been entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer, will be taken up by the Underwriter, or by sub-underwriters, subject to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement summarised in section 4.1.
1.10 Non-renounceable
The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable. Eligible Retail Shareholders are not able sell or transfer their Entitlements. Any Entitlements not taken up by Eligible Retail Shareholders will lapse and the corresponding New Shares, to the extent not taken up under the Top Up Facility, will be taken up by the Underwriter or by sub-underwriters, subject to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement summarised in section 4.1.
1.11 Ineligible Shareholders
All Shareholders who do not satisfy the criteria to be Eligible Retail Shareholders or Eligible Institutional Shareholders, are Ineligible Shareholders. Ineligible Shareholders are not entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer, unless Pulse otherwise determines.
The restrictions upon eligibility to participate in the Entitlement Offer arise because Pulse has determined, pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1(a) and section 9A(3)(a) of the Corporations Act, that it would be unreasonable to extend the Entitlement Offer to Ineligible Shareholders. This decision has been made after taking into account the relatively small number of Shareholders in the jurisdictions in which the Ineligible Shareholders are located, the relatively small number and value of New Shares to which those Shareholders would otherwise be entitled and the potential costs of complying with legal and regulatory requirements in the jurisdictions in which the Ineligible Shareholders are located in relation to the Entitlement Offer.
Pulse, in its absolute discretion, may extend the Entitlement Offer to any Shareholder if it is satisfied that the Entitlement Offer may be made to the Shareholder in compliance with all applicable laws. Pulse, in its absolute discretion, reserves the right to determine whether a Shareholder is an Eligible Retail Shareholder, Eligible Institutional Shareholder or an Ineligible Shareholder. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Pulse disclaims all liability in respect of such determination.
New Shares that would have been offered under the Entitlement Offer to Ineligible Institutional Shareholders, had they been entitled to participate in the Institutional Entitlement Offer (Ineligible Institutional Shares), were, in accordance with section 615(b) of the Corporations Act, issued to the Underwriter in its capacity as appointed nominee for the Entitlement Offer under section 615 of the Corporations Act. The Underwriter then offered the Ineligible Institutional Shares for sale under the Institutional Shortfall Bookbuild and, to the extent not sold under the Institutional Shortfall Bookbuild, retain those shares or transferred them to a sub-underwriter, subject to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement.

2.2 How to apply
If you wish to take up all or part of your Entitlement, or apply for Additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility, you have two options, which are described below.
Cash payments will not be accepted. Receipts for Application Money will not be issued.
Option 1 – Acceptance and payment by cheque, bank draft or money order
You should complete your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form in accordance with the instructions on the form and return it accompanied by a cheque, bank draft or money order in Australian currency drawn on an Australian branch of an Australian bank for the Offer Price multiplied by the number of New Shares that you are applying for (including any Additional New Shares which you are applying for under the Top Up Facility). All cheques must be made payable to ‘Pulse Health Limited’ and crossed ‘Not Negotiable’.
Completed Entitlement and Acceptance Forms and accompanying cheques, bank drafts or money orders must be returned to the following address and received no later than the Closing Date (7:00pm, (Sydney time) on Thursday, 24 December 2015, unless extended).
By mail: Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited GPO Box 505 Melbourne VIC 3001 Australia
A reply paid envelope is enclosed for your convenience. If mailed in Australia, no postage stamp is required.
If the amount of your cheque, bank draft or money order (or the amount which clears in time for allocation) is insufficient to pay for the full number of New Shares you have applied for (including any Additional New Shares), you will be taken to have applied for such lower number of New Shares as your cleared Application Money will pay for (and to have specified that number of New Shares on your Entitlement and Acceptance Form). Alternatively your application may not be accepted, in which case any Application Money will be refunded to you (without interest).
Please note that if you have more than one holding of Shares, you will be sent more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and you will have separate Entitlements for each separate holding. A separate Entitlement and Acceptance Form and payment of Application Money must be completed for each separate Entitlement you hold.
Option 2 - Acceptance and payment by BPAY®
For payment by BPAY®, you must follow the instructions on the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form (which includes
the Biller Code and your unique Reference Number). You can only make a payment via BPAY® if you are the holder of an
account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY® transactions.
Please note that should you choose to pay by BPAY®:
• you do not need to submit the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to have made the declarations on that Entitlement and Acceptance Form;
• if you do not pay for your full Entitlement, you are deemed to have taken up your Entitlement in respect of the whole number of New Shares which is covered in full by your Application Money; and
• if you pay an amount in excess of the amount representing your full Entitlement, you will be deemed to have applied for the number of Additional New Shares under the Top Up Facility which that excess amount represents.
You must ensure that you use the specific Biller Code and unique Reference Number on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Your application may not be accepted if you choose to pay by BPAY
® and you do not use the correct Biller
Code and/or unique Reference Number on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. If you receive more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, please only use the Reference Number specific to the Entitlement on that form.
It is your responsibility to ensure that your BPAY® payment is received by the Share Registry by no later than the Closing Date
(7:00pm, (Sydney time) on Thursday, 24 December 2015, unless extended). You should be aware that your financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regards to electronic payment and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment, in order to ensure your payment is received by the Closing Date.

2.3 Refunds
Any Application Money received in excess of your final allocation of New Shares (including any Additional New Shares issued to you under the Top Up Facility) will be refunded as soon as possible after allotment. If the Entitlement Offer is withdrawn, Application Money will be refunded as soon as possible. Refund payments will be by cheque made payable to the registered holder and will be sent to the address last recorded on Pulse’s register of Shareholders. No interest will be paid to applicants on any Application Money which is refunded and any interest earned on Application Money will belong to Pulse.
2.4 Effect of applying

Overview
Australian day hospitals play a major role in health care delivery with
over 300 facilities providing surgical, diagnostic and medical care
Australian day hospitals have increased 39% by number over the last
decade, led by technological advancements, improvements in
anaesthesia and increased consumer expectations
Industry
Demand
The specialised nature of day hospitals has led to better outcomes for
patients by reduced length of stay, reduced costs, reduced risk of
infection and increased efficiency and high level of competency due to
specialisation
Approximately 50% of all acute surgical procedures are now performed
in day hospitals, and within some specialties this is nearly 90%
The number of separations undertaken in day hospitals has grown by
6.3% over the period from 2007 to 2014, a relatively stronger growth
rate than the broader hospital industry
Financial
Context
Australian day hospital revenue of $991m in FY14 reflects 11.2%
compound annual growth since FY04, and comprises 8.8% of the
estimated $11.2bn total private hospital revenue
Australia day hospital revenue per hospital has grown from $1.5m to
$3.0m over the period from 2004 to 2014 reflecting 7.6% compound
annual growth

Fragmented
and
Growing
Market
The Australian day hospital market is highly fragmented providing
significant opportunity for industry consolidation
Less than 20% of Australian day hospitals are owned by the top 10 day
surgery groups
Despite recent growth, private day hospitals market share of the
Australian hospital market remains relatively small (by hospital
separations) providing scope for continued market share gains
Opportunity
Pulse has identified approximately 100 day hospital facilities that meet
its acquisition criteria
A large number of the 300 Australian day hospitals specialise in
dialysis, oncology, fertility, and other specialties outside of Pulse’s
current core focus
Execution
Strong post transaction balance sheet of 1.6x net debt / FY17 EBITDA,
expected to support organic and acquisitive growth opportunities
For illustrative purposes, Pulse would have the ability to draw $15.4m of
additional debt for growth and maintain a 2.5x net debt / FY17 EBITDA
ratio
Opportunity to leverage Pulse’s shared services platform to extract cost
synergies and scale benefits

centres in the US, expected to support Pulse’s entry into the endoscopy
market
Opportunity to leverage Pulse’s shared services platform to extract cost
synergies and scale benefits

Number of Colonoscopy Procedures
17December 2015 |
Overview
Endoscopy units use tube mounted cameras to perform examinations
of the upper gastrointestinal tract (gastroscopy) or bowel (colonoscopy)
Procedures is used to detect cancers and polyps, diagnose and monitor
other gastrointestinal diseases e.g. gastric ulcers and diverticulitis
Structural
Drivers
Early bowel cancer detection via colonoscopy materially enhances the
probability of a positive outcome for patients
Developments in technology and clinical practice driving significant
growth in the demand for endoscopy services
Industry
Demand
Patients require ongoing surveillance and repeat procedures at
intervals of between two and five years, depending on findings,
symptoms and age
The Medicare Benefits Scheme reported 335,488 colonoscopy
procedures in FY15, which represents a CAGR of 4.2% since FY05 and
373,349 gastroscopy procedures representing a CAGR of 5.1% over
the same period
Open
Access
Open access model of care enables GPs to refer patients directly to
endoscopy units for an endoscopy, streamlining the diagnostic process
for patients
Endoscopy unit provides reports to GPs and patients and manages a
recall system, improving the management of the process for both
parties and providing repeat business
Consequently open access provides patients and GPs with a greater
visibility over patients and is increasingly popular

Pulse expects that forecast underlying FY16 EBITDA will be at least
$10.2m, excluding ramp-up costs associated with the Gold Coast

Sheet
Impact
(Pro- Forma)
The Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet comprise Pulse stand-
alone audited FY15 Balance Sheet and unaudited adjustments for the
acquisition of the Australian and New Zealand facilities and the
proposed equity raise
The Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet assumes an acquisition
date of 30 June 2015
Net debt / pro forma FY17 EBITDA of 1.6x providing financial capacity
for acquisition pipeline2
For illustrative purposes, Pulse would have the ability to draw $15.4m of
additional debt for growth and maintain a 2.5x net debt / pro forma
FY17 EBITDA ratio
The Pro Forma Balance Sheet includes a $10.8m provision for future
earn-outs
Notes: 1. There is a $800k debtor who has entered into a repayment plan with Pulse for non-payment. If the plan is not adhered to, Pulse may recognise a doubtful debt.
2. If the acquisitions do not proceed the funds raised will initially be used to repay debt, which will result in a net cash position of $19.5m (representing a 1.7x net cash / underlying FY17 EBITDA), before ultimately
being used to pursue Pulse’s growth strategy.
3. Assumes an exchange rate of 0.93 AUD/NZD.

New Shares
Issued
$42.5m equity raising comprising a placement and entitlement offer
Placement of 24.5m shares (approx.) to raise $11.5m (approx.) offered to new and existing institutional investors
2 for 5 pro-rata non-renounceable accelerated entitlement offer to raise $31.0m (approx.), resulting in the issue of 65.8m new shares (approx.)
Issue
Effects
Illustratively, the table above assumes that only new institutional investors participate in the Placement and that all existing shareholders take up their
entitlement in full, which will unlikely occur. In particular, Viburnum will not take up its entitlement but will sub-underwrite up to $9.3m, in which case its
interest will be diluted to between 49.3m shares (approx.) (19.32%) and 69.0m shares (approx.) (27.05%)
This scenario results in Placement participants holding 9.6% of Ordinary shares on issue on completion (assuming Viburnum is called upon for its
whole sub-underwriting commitment)
Existing shareholders will hold 90.4% of Ordinary shares on issue
Notes: 1. The number of shares for the substantial shareholder is based on latest release of the change in substantial holding notice..
2. The number of shares for directors is based on latest release of the change in director’s interest notices and/or the 2015 Annual report.

This section discloses some of the key risks attaching to an investment in Pulse. Before investing or increasing your investment in Pulse,
you should consider whether this investment is suitable for you having regard to publicly available information and your personal
circumstances and following consultation with your professional advisors. The risks in this section are not, and should not be considered to
be or relied on as, an exhaustive list of risks relevant to an investment in Pulse. The risks are general in nature and regard has not been
had to the investment objectives, financial situation, tax position or particular needs of any investor.
Risks relation to the acquisitions
▪ (Completion risks) The acquisitions are subject to a number of conditions, including those conditions summarised on pages 15 and 20.
If any of these conditions are not satisfied or waived by their due date for satisfaction, the relevant acquisition agreement may be
terminated. If an acquisition agreement is terminated, the relevant acquisition will not proceed. If either, or both of, the acquisitions do
not proceed, the funds raised under the Capital Raising will be used in the manner described on page 23.
▪ (Financing risk) Pulse will need to secure $9.1m of debt or other funding in addition to the $42.5m in equity to be raised in order to pay
the purchase price for the acquisitions. Pulse may not be able to secure such funding on terms that are acceptable or at all.
▪ (Integration risks) There are risks that integration of the assets the subject of the acquisitions with Pulse’s existing business may take
longer than expected and that the anticipated benefits of that integration may be less than estimated. These risks include inability to
achieve synergy benefits and cost savings, the potential loss of key personnel and the loss of key doctors.
▪ (Termination of contracts) A change in control of the assets the subject of the acquisitions will arise on completion of the Acquisitions.
While the acquisition agreements include conditions precedent requiring the consent of counterparties to material contracts relating to
the relevant assets, it is possible that some contracts, such as leases, licenses and contracts with health funds, may be subject to review
or termination upon this change of control.
▪ (New jurisdiction risk) The acquisition of the Boulcott Hospital in New Zealand will give rise to certain operational and business risks
for Pulse. Relevantly, Pulse does not have any existing business operations in New Zealand and, accordingly, Pulse will be exposed to
the risks and challenges associated with operating a business in a new jurisdiction.

Risks relating to the healthcare industry
Pulse operates in the private healthcare industry which itself is exposed to a number of risk factors.
▪ (Government Policies) The healthcare industry is subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to the conduct of operations,
licensing and accreditation of facilities, and the addition and development of facilities and services, among other things. There are several
government policies and regulations that could have a material adverse impact on the performance of Pulse if changed, including but not
limited to changes to initiatives that promote private health insurance (PHI), changes to regulations relating to PHI funds, changes to
hospital licensing policy, chances to medical negligence legislation, and changes to public hospital policy that may encourage patients to
use public facilities instead of private facilities.
▪ (Private Health Insurance and other funders) A large portion of the revenue received by Pulse and the assets the subject of the
Acquisitions is derived from PHI funds and other funders, many of which have negotiated schedules of fees with Pulse such that the latter
receive preferred rates. Failure to successfully renegotiate such commercial agreements with PHI funds and other funders as they come
up for renewal could have a material adverse impact on the profitability of Pulse.
Additionally, should PHI fund membership decrease as a result of worsening economic conditions, changes in economic incentives,
increased PHI fund premiums, or otherwise, or PHI fund members elect to decrease their coverage, this could materially impact on the
number of patients electing for services in private healthcare facilities such as those operated by Pulse.
▪ (Labour) Pulse relies on Accredited Medical Practitioners (AMPs) as a source of patient referrals to its facilities. There is a risk for all
operators of private healthcare facilities that AMPs may choose to refer their patients to, and perform their services at, facilities other than
those operated by Pulse.
Additionally, Pulse faces competition in attracting and retaining nursing staff, who constitute the majority of people employed by Pulse. In
service areas where there is a relative shortage of available nursing staff, there is a risk that Pulse is unable to properly staff its facilities
to meet demand, which could have a material adverse impact on earnings.
Separately, from time to time Pulse may need to renegotiate enterprise bargaining agreements with its staff, and in such cases there is a
risk that such negotiations could result in a staff strike or other form of service interruption, or increased direct and indirect labour costs of
Pulse, both of which would have an negative impact on earnings.

Risks relating to the healthcare industry – continued
▪ (Litigation and Insurance) Private hospital operators such as Pulse are exposed to the risk of medical indemnity claims and litigation. It
is possible that a current or past patient of Pulse may commence or threaten litigation for medical negligence against Pulse, which could
have a negative impact on the financial performance, financial position, and future prospects of Pulse.
Separately, while Pulse maintains insurance coverage consistent with industry practice, there is no guarantee that such insurance will be
available in the future on commercially reasonable terms or that any cover will be adequate and available to cover all or any future claims.
▪ (Development Projects) Many private healthcare facilities operators such as Pulse will from time to undertake development projects to
expand their current facilities, and to create new facilities. There is a risk that any such developments by Pulse may experience cost
overruns and or delays in construction, or that the business in the new facility does not perform as anticipated, all of which can have a
material negative impact on the earnings of Pulse.
General risks
The following risks have been identified as being key risks specific to investing in Pulse. These risks have the potential tohave a significant
adverse impact on Pulse which may in turn affect the financial position, prospects and price of its listed securities. Some of these risks can
be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, others can be covered by insurance, but some are outside the
control of Pulse and cannot be mitigated or insured against.
▪ (Economic risks)
Economic conditions: The economic condition of both domestic and global markets may affect the performance of Pulse. Factors such
as fluctuations in currencies (including exchange rates), commodity prices, inflation rate, interest rates, supply and demand and industrial
disruption may have an impact on operating costs and therefore future possible revenues and the share market price.

General risks – continued
Future capital requirements: The continued operations of Pulse will be dependent on its ability to obtain financing through debt, equity
financing or capital raising. There is a risk that Pulse may not be able to access capital for future projects or developments due to factors
beyond its control which could have a material adverse impact on Pulse’s business and financial condition.
Business factors: The continuing economic viability of Pulse will be dependent on managing risk factors normally found in conducting a
business, including management of contractual risks, litigation due to breach of agreements or in relation to employees (through personal
injuries, industrial matters or otherwise), strikes, lockouts, loss of services of key management or operational personnel or change in tax
and accounting laws.
There can be no assurance that parties with whom Pulse has entered into commercial arrangements will adhere to the terms of the
contracts and arrangements. There is the potential of material failure by or insolvency of any contractor used by Pulse in any of its
activities. Such being the case, this could cause disruption to the operations of Pulse. Pulse is unable to predict the risk of insolvency or
other managerial failure by any of its contractors or other service providers used by the Company.
All of the mentioned business factors could have a material adverse effect on the results of the operations or the financial condition of
Pulse.
▪ (Share market conditions) Securities listed on a stock market can experience price and volume fluctuations that are often unrelated to
the performance of the company. General factors that may affect the market price of Pulse shares include economic conditions, both
locally and internationally, the global security situation, the possibility of terrorist disturbances and changes in government legislation or
policy.
▪ (Increased competition) Pulse operate in competitive markets. In general, the entry of new competitors in those markets or changes in
the strategy of existing competitors may have an adverse effect on Pulse.
