**CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

This annual report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") and as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("PSLRA") that are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this annual report are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "plan," "intend," "believe," "may," "will," "should," "can have," "likely" and other words, the negative forms of such words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events. These statements relate to events that involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those listed under "Risk Factors," which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include among others:

● The developments relating to COVID-19 and its variants, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by federal, state and local governmental authorities in the United States, local governmental authorities in our international sites and our clients in response to the pandemic and the effect on our operations, operating budgets, cash flows and liquidity.

<br> ● The effect of cyberattacks on our information technology systems.

<br> ● Our ability to attract new business and retain key clients.

<br> ● Our ability to enter into multi-year contracts with our clients at appropriate rates.

<br> ● The potential for our clients or potential clients to consolidate.

<br> ● Our clients deciding to enter into or further expand their insourcing activities.

<br> ● Our ability to manage portions of our business that have long sales cycles and long implementation cycles that require significant resources and working capital.

<br> ● Our ability to manage our international operations, particularly in the Philippines, Jamaica, Pakistan and Nicaragua.

<br> ● Our ability to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including those regarding privacy, data protection and information security.

<br> ● Our ability to manage the inelasticity of our labor costs relative to short-term movements in client demand.

<br> ● Our ability to realize the anticipated strategic and financial benefits of our relationship with Amazon.

<br> ● Our ability to recruit, engage, motivate, manage and retain our global workforce.

<br> ● Our ability to anticipate, develop and implement information technology solutions that keep pace with evolving industry standards and changing client demands.

<br> ● Our ability to maintain and enhance our reputation and brand.

------

We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, or cautionary statements, are disclosed under "Risk Factors" and "Operating and Financial Review and Prospects" in this annual report. All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements as well as other cautionary statements that are made from time to time in our other SEC filings and public communications. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this annual report in the context of these risks and uncertainties.

We caution you that the important factors referenced above may not contain all of the factors that are important to you. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will realize the results or developments we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences or affect us or our operations in the way we expect. The forward-looking statements included in this annual report are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

D. Risk Factors

*We are subject to certain risks and uncertainties described below. These risks and uncertainties are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known or are currently deemed immaterial may also impair our business and financial results.*

**Risks Related to Our Business**

***The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted our business and results of operations. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 and its variants on our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by federal, state and local governmental authorities in the United States, governmental authorities in our international sites and our clients in response to the pandemic.***

The global outbreak of COVID-19, including the emergence of variants and mutations of the original COVID-19 virus (the "Pandemic") continues to rapidly evolve and has had a widespread and detrimental effect on the

------

global economy and has adversely impacted our business and results of operations. We have experienced travel bans, states of emergency, quarantines, lockdowns, "shelter in place" orders, business restrictions and shutdowns in most countries where we operate. While we are unable to accurately predict the full future impact that the Pandemic may have on our results from operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties, including the duration and severity of the Pandemic and its containment measures, our compliance with these measures has impacted our day-to-day operations and disrupted our business.

The extent to which the Pandemic continues to adversely impact our business and results of operations will depend on numerous evolving factors that are difficult to predict and outside of our control, including: the duration and scope of the Pandemic; actions taken by governments and other parties, such as our clients, in response to the Pandemic; the impact of the Pandemic on economic activity in various regions and local economic actions taken in response; the continued effect of the Pandemic on our clients and client demand for our services and solutions; the continued ability of our clients to pay for our services and solutions on time or at all; our ability to sell and provide our services and solutions to clients and prospects; and the ability of our employees to successfully work remotely without suffering productivity issues due to, among other things, their own illness or the illness of family members, distractions at home, including family issues or virtual school learning for their children; and/or continued ability to have access to reliable and stable internet connections with sufficient bandwidth. The Pandemic has also led to, and may continue to lead to, increased costs, as we incur additional costs to ensure the continuity of our operations and support our remote work model. We expect to incur additional costs to monitor and improve the operational efficiency of our remote work model, implement new information technology solutions and security measures to safeguard against information security risks and protect the health and safety of our employees as they return to the office.

Our continuous efforts to mitigate the negative effects of the Pandemic on our business may not be as effective in the future, and we may be affected by a protracted economic downturn. Even after the Pandemic has subsided, we may experience negative effects as a result of the Pandemic's global economic impact. Further, as this Pandemic is unprecedented and continuously evolving, it may also affect our operating and financial results in a manner that is not presently known to us or in a manner that we currently do not consider will present significant risks to us or our operations. Addressing the significant personal and business challenges presented by the Pandemic, including various business continuity measures and the need to enable work-at-home arrangements for many of our employees, has demanded significant management time and attention and strained other corporate resources, and is expected to continue to do so.

For more information, see "Item 5A. Operating Results - Key Factors Affecting Our Performance."

***We were the target of a cybersecurity attack that impacted a portion of our information technology systems.***

In August 2020, we detected a ransomware attack that briefly impacted a portion of our information technology systems. Immediately upon becoming aware of the attack, we implemented containment measures to prohibit access by the threat actor to our extended network which also prevented its access to our client's networks and systems. Normal IT operations continued, leveraging our redundant infrastructure, and immediately restoring the impacted systems from online backup systems. At no time did the attack impact our business operations, but the unauthorized access included the exfiltration of non-production data files from a file server in our backup data center. In conjunction with our containment activities, we launched an investigation, notified our insurance broker and carrier, and engaged an incident response team and cybersecurity forensics firm. We worked with industry-leading cybersecurity firms who have implemented a series of additional containment and remediation measures to address the incident and reinforce the security of our information technology systems.

In March 2022, a class action lawsuit was filed against us in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia alleging the plaintiffs' personal information was exposed as a result of the ransomware incident. In July 2022, the parties agreed to a preliminary settlement, which is subject to the Court approval. This incident has not had a material financial impact on our business, however we may incur losses associated with claims by third parties, as well as fines, penalties and other sanctions imposed by regulators relating to or arising from

------

the incident, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations in future periods.

While we continue to harden our cyber security infrastructure to address the constantly evolving threat landscape, we cannot provide assurance that our security frameworks and measures will be successful in preventing or promptly detecting and remediating future cyberattacks or a breach or compromise of security. Further, the incident or future incidents may have a negative impact on our reputation and cause customers, suppliers and other third parties with whom we maintain relationships to lose confidence in us. We are unable to definitively determine the impact to these relationships and whether we will need to engage in any activities to rebuild them.

For more information, please refer to "Item 3D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Unauthorized or improper disclosure of personal information or breach of privacy, whether inadvertent or as the result of a cyber-attack or improperly by our employees, could result in liability and harm our reputation which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects" and "Item 3D. Risk Factors— Risks Related to Our Business—Our business is subject to a variety of U.S. and international laws and regulations, including those regarding privacy, data protection and information security, and our customers may be subject to regulations related to the handling and transfer of certain types of sensitive and confidential information. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations would harm our business, results of operations and financial condition."

***Our business is dependent on key clients, and the loss of a key client could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.***

We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from a few key clients. Our top three clients accounted for 27% of our revenue, and our top client accounted for 12% of our revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. The loss of business with, or the failure to retain a significant amount of business with, any of our key clients could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our ability to collect revenue could be impacted by the financial condition of our clients.

***We enter into multi-year contracts with our clients. Our failure to price these contracts correctly may negatively affect our profitability.***

The pricing of our solutions is usually included in statements of work entered into with our clients, many of which are for terms of two to five years. In certain cases, we have committed to pricing over this period with limited to no sharing of risks regarding inflation and currency exchange rates. In addition, we are obligated under some of our contracts to deliver productivity benefits to our clients, such as reduction in handle time or speed to answer. If we fail to accurately estimate future wage inflation rates, unhedged currency exchange rates or our costs, or if we fail to accurately estimate the productivity benefits we can achieve under a contract, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

***The terms of our client contracts may limit our profitability or enable our clients to reduce or terminate their use of our solutions.***

Most of our client contracts do not have minimum volume requirements, and the profitability of each client contract or work order may fluctuate, sometimes significantly, throughout various stages of the program. Certain contracts have performance-related bonus (penalty) provisions that require the client to pay us a bonus (require us to issue the client a credit) based upon our meeting (failing to meet) agreed-upon service levels and performance metrics. In addition, certain of our client contracts may subject us to potential liability and / or rebate payments in certain circumstances. Moreover, although our objective is to sign multi-year agreements, our contracts generally allow the client to terminate the contract for convenience or reduce their use of our solutions. There can be no assurance that our clients will not terminate their contracts before their scheduled expiration dates, that the volume of services for these programs will not be reduced, that we will be able to avoid penalties or earn performance bonuses for our solutions, or that we will be able to terminate unprofitable

------

contracts without incurring significant liabilities. For these reasons, there can be no assurance that our client contracts will be profitable for us or that we will be able to achieve or maintain any particular level of profitability through our client contracts.

***The consolidation of our clients or potential clients may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.***

Consolidation of the potential users of our solutions, particularly those in the telecommunications, technology and cable industries, may decrease the number of clients who contract our solutions. Any significant reduction in or elimination of the use of the solutions we provide as a result of consolidation would result in reduced revenue to us and could harm our business. Such consolidation may encourage clients to apply increasing pressure on us to lower the prices we charge for our solutions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

***If our clients decide to enter into or further expand insourcing activities in the future, or if current trends toward outsourcing services and/or outsourcing activities are reversed, it may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.***

Our current agreements with our clients do not prevent our clients from insourcing services that are currently outsourced to us, and none of our clients have entered into any non-compete agreements with us. Our current clients may seek to insource services similar to those we provide. Any decision by our clients to enter into or further expand insourcing activities in the future could cause us to lose a significant volume of business and may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Moreover, the trend towards outsourcing business processes may not continue and could be reversed by factors beyond our control, including negative perceptions attached to outsourcing activities or government regulations against outsourcing activities. Current or prospective clients may elect to perform such services in-house that may be associated with using an offshore provider. Political opposition to outsourcing services and / or outsourcing activities may also arise in certain countries if there is a perception that such actions have a negative effect on domestic employment opportunities.

In addition, our business may be adversely affected by potential new laws and regulations prohibiting or limiting outsourcing of certain core business activities of our clients in key jurisdictions in which we conduct our business, such as in the United States. The introduction of such laws and regulations or the change in interpretation of existing laws and regulations could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

***Natural events, health epidemics (including the outbreak of COVID-19), wars, widespread civil unrest, terrorist attacks and other acts of violence involving any of the countries in which we or our clients have operations could adversely affect our operations and client confidence.***

Natural events (such as floods and earthquakes), health epidemics (including the outbreak of COVID-19), wars, widespread civil unrest, terrorist attacks and other acts of violence could result in significant worker absenteeism, increased attrition rates, lower asset utilization rates, voluntary or mandatory closure of our facilities, our inability to meet dynamic employee health and safety requirements, our inability to meet contractual service levels for our clients, our inability to procure essential supplies, travel restrictions on our employees, and other disruptions to our business. In addition, these events could adversely affect global economies, financial markets and our clients' levels of business activity. Any of these events, their consequences or the costs related to mitigation or remediation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

------

***Portions of our business have long sales cycles and long implementation cycles, which require significant resources and working capital.***

Many of our client contracts are entered into after long sales cycles, which require a significant investment of capital, resources and time by both our clients and us. Before committing to use our solutions, potential clients require us to expend substantial time and resources educating them as to the value of our solutions and assessing the feasibility of integrating our systems and processes with theirs. As a result, our selling cycle, which may extend up to two years, is subject to many risks and delays over which we have little or no control, including our clients' decisions to choose alternatives to our solutions (such as other providers or in-house resources) and the timing of our clients' budget cycles and approval processes.

In addition, implementing our solutions involves a significant commitment of resources over an extended period of time from both our clients and us. Our clients may also experience delays in obtaining internal approvals or may face delays associated with technology or system implementations, thereby further delaying the implementation process.

If we fail to close sales with potential clients to whom we have devoted significant time and resources, or if our current and future clients are not willing or able to invest the time and resources necessary to implement our solutions, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could suffer.

***Our business relies heavily on technology, telephone and computer systems as well as third-party telecommunications providers, which subjects us to various uncertainties.***

We rely heavily on sophisticated and specialized communications and computer technology coupled with third-party telecommunications and bandwidth providers to provide high-quality and reliable real-time solutions on behalf of our clients through our delivery centers. In our Customer Acquisition solution, the majority of our sales are conducted via sales queues in our contact centers. In both our Customer Acquisition solution and our Customer Engagement solution, we are typically required to record and maintain recordings of telephonic interactions with customers. We rely on telephone, call recording, customer relationship management and other systems and technology in our contact center operations. Our operations, therefore, depend on the proper functioning of our equipment and systems, including telephone, hardware and software. Third-party suppliers provide most of our systems, hardware and software, while our development teams build some in-house. We also rely on the telecommunications and data services provided by local communication companies in the countries in which we operate as well as domestic and international long distance service providers. Despite our efforts for adequate backup and redundancy mechanisms, any disruptions in the delivery of our services due to the failure of our systems, hardware or software, whether provided and maintained by third parties or in-house teams, or due to interruptions in our telecommunications or data services that adversely affect the quality or reliability (or perceived quality or reliability) of our solutions or render us unable to handle increased volumes of customer interaction during periods of high demand, may result in reduction in revenue, loss of clients, or unexpected investment in new systems or technology to ensure that we can continue to provide high-quality and reliable solutions to our clients. The occurrence of any such interruption or unplanned investment could materially adversely affect our business, financial positions, operating results and prospects.

In addition, in some areas of our business, we depend upon the quality and reliability of the services and products of our clients which we help sell to their end customers. If the solutions we provide to our clients experience technical difficulties or quality issues, we may have a harder time selling services and products to end customers which could have an adverse impact on our business and operating results.

We further anticipate that it will be necessary to continue to invest in our technology and communications infrastructure to ensure reliability and maintain our competitiveness. This is likely to result in significant ongoing capital expenditures for maintenance as well as growth as we continue to grow our business. There can be no assurance that any of our information systems will be adequate to meet our future needs or that we will be able to incorporate new technology to enhance and develop our existing solutions. Moreover, investments in technology, including future investments in upgrades and enhancements to hardware or software, may not

------

necessarily maintain our competitiveness. Our future success will also depend in part on our ability to anticipate and develop information technology solutions that keep pace with evolving industry standards and changing client demands.

***Our business is heavily dependent upon our international operations, particularly in the Philippines, Jamaica, Pakistan and Nicaragua and any disruption to those operations would adversely affect us.***

Outside of the United States, a substantial portion of our operations are conducted in the Philippines, Jamaica, Pakistan and Nicaragua. The Philippines has experienced political instability and acts of natural disaster, such as typhoons and flooding, and continues to be at risk of similar and other events that may disrupt our operations. Our operations in Jamaica, which commenced in 2016 and have been growing quickly, are also subject to political instability, natural disasters, crime and similar other risks. Pakistan has experienced, and continues to experience, political and social unrest and acts of terrorism. We also conduct operations in Nicaragua, Senegal, Honduras and the United Kingdom which are subject to various risks germane to those locations.

Our international operations, particularly in the Philippines, Jamaica, Pakistan and Nicaragua, and our ability to maintain our offshore facilities in those jurisdictions is an essential component of our business model, as the labor costs in certain of those jurisdictions are substantially lower than the cost of comparable labor in the United States and other developed countries, which allows us to competitively price our solutions. Our competitive advantage will be greatly diminished and may disappear altogether as a result of a number of factors, including:

<br> ● political unrest;

<br> ● social unrest;

<br> ● terrorism or war;

<br> ● health epidemics (including the outbreak of COVID-19);

<br> ● failure of power grids in certain of the countries in which we operate, which are subject to frequent outages;

<br> ● currency fluctuations;

<br> ● changes to the laws of the jurisdictions in which we operate; or

<br> ● increases in the cost of labor and supplies in the jurisdictions in which we operate.

Our international operations may also be affected by trade restrictions, such as tariffs or other trade controls. If we are unable to continue to leverage the skills and experience of our international workforce, we may be unable to provide our solutions at an attractive price and our business could be materially and negatively impacted.

***The inelasticity of our labor costs relative to short-term movements in client demand could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.***

Our business depends on maintaining large numbers of agents to service our clients' business needs, and we tend not to terminate agents on short notice to respond to temporary declines in demand in excess of agreed levels, as rehiring and retraining agents at a later date would force us to incur additional expenses, and any termination of our employees would also involve the incurrence of significant additional costs in the form of severance payments to comply with labor regulations in the various jurisdictions in which we operate our business, all of which would have an adverse impact on our operating profit margins. Additionally, the hiring and training of our agents in response to increased demand takes time and results in additional short-term expenses. These factors constrain our ability to adjust our labor costs for short-term movements in demand, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***The anticipated strategic and financial benefits of our relationship with Amazon may not be realized.***

On November 13, 2017, we issued to Amazon.com NV Investment Holdings LLC, a subsidiary of

------

Amazon.com, Inc. ("Amazon"), a 10-year warrant to acquire approximately 10.0% of our equity on a fully diluted and as-converted basis as of the date of issuance of the warrant. We issued this warrant to Amazon with the expectation that the warrant would result in various benefits including, among others, growth in revenues and improved cash flows. Achieving the anticipated benefits from the warrant is subject to a number of challenges and uncertainties. If we are unable to achieve our objectives or if we experience delays, the expected benefits may be only partially realized or not at all, or may take longer to realize than expected, which could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.

For more information, see our audited consolidated financial statements included at the end of this annual report.

**The success of our business depends on our senior management and key employees.**

Our success depends on the continued service and performance of our senior management and other key personnel. In each of the industries in which we participate, there is competition for experienced senior management and personnel with industry-specific expertise. We may not be able to retain our key personnel or recruit skilled personnel with appropriate qualifications and experience. The loss of key members of our personnel, particularly to competitors, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

***We may fail to attract, hire, train and retain sufficient numbers of agents and other employees in a timely fashion at our facilities to support our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.***

Our business relies on large numbers of trained agents and other employees at our facilities, and our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain agents and other employees. The outsourcing industry experiences high employee turnover. In addition, we compete for employees not only with other companies in our industry, but also with companies in other industries. Increased competition for these employees, in our industry or otherwise, particularly in tight labor markets, could have an adverse effect on our business. Additionally, a significant increase in the turnover rate among trained employees could increase our costs and decrease our operating profit margins.

In addition, our ability to maintain and renew existing client engagements, obtain new business and increase our margins will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain employees with skills that enable us to keep pace with growing demands for outsourcing, evolving industry standards, new technology applications and changing client preferences. Our failure to attract, train and retain personnel with the experience and skills necessary to fulfill the needs of our existing and future clients or to assimilate new employees successfully into our operations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

***If we are not successful in converting visitors to our customer acquisition websites into purchasers or subscribers, our business and operating results may be harmed.***

The growth of our customer acquisition business depends in part upon growth in the number of our customers or subscribers we are able to acquire for our clients. The rate at which we convert consumers into customers or subscribers using our customer acquisition websites is a significant factor in the growth of our customer acquisition business. A number of factors could influence this conversion rate for any given period, some of which are outside of our control. These factors include:

<br> ● the quality of the consumer experience on our customer acquisition websites and with our delivery center;

<br> ● the variety and affordability of the products and services that we offer on behalf of our clients and carrier partners;

<br> ● system failures or interruptions in the operation of our customer acquisition websites; and

<br> ● changes in the mix of consumers who are referred to us through our direct marketing partners, online

------

advertising subscriber acquisition channels and other marketing channels.

Even if the rate at which we convert visitors to customers or subscribers declines, the marketing and lead generation costs that have already been incurred are unlikely to decline correspondingly. Therefore, such a decline in conversion rate of consumers visiting our customer acquisition websites is likely to result in reduced revenue and a further reduced margin, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

***We depend upon internet search engines to attract a significant portion of the consumers who visit our customer acquisition websites, and if we are unable to advertise on search engines on a cost-effective basis, our business and operating results would be harmed.***

We maintain a number of different customer acquisition websites to market our clients' offerings to consumers in their target customer segments. Such client service offerings include cable, internet and paid television services. We derive a significant portion of our customer acquisition website traffic from consumers who search products or services using Internet search engines, such as Google, MSN and Yahoo!. A critical factor in attracting consumers to our customer acquisition websites is whether our clients' offerings are prominently displayed in response to an internet search relating to specific products or services that we market. Search engines typically provide two types of search results, unpaid (natural) listings and paid advertisements. We rely on both unpaid listings and paid advertisements to attract consumers to our customer acquisition websites.

Unpaid search result listings are determined and displayed in accordance with a set of formulas or algorithms developed by the particular internet search engine. The algorithms determine the order of the listing of results in response to the consumer's internet search. From time to time, search engines revise these algorithms. In some instances, these modifications have caused our customer acquisition websites to be listed less prominently in unpaid search results, which has resulted in decreased traffic to these websites. Our customer acquisition websites may also become listed less prominently in unpaid search results for other reasons, such as search engine technical difficulties, search engine technical changes and changes we decide to make to our websites. In addition, search engines have deemed the practices of some companies to be inconsistent with search engine guidelines and decided not to list their websites in search result listings at all. If we are listed less prominently in search result listings for any reason, the traffic to our customer acquisition websites would likely decline, which would harm our operating results. If we decide to attempt to replace this traffic, we may be required to increase our marketing expenditures, which also would harm our operating results and financial condition.

We also purchase paid advertisements on search engines in order to attract users to our customer acquisition websites. We typically pay a search engine for prominent placement of our name and website when certain specific terms are searched on the search engine, regardless of the unpaid search result listings. In some circumstances, the prominence of the placement of our name and website is determined by a combination of factors, including the amount we are willing to pay and algorithms designed to determine the relevance of our paid advertisement to a particular search term. We bid against our competitors and others for the display of these paid search engine advertisements. If there is increased competition for the display of paid advertisements in response to search terms related to our business, our advertising expenses could rise significantly or we could reduce or discontinue our paid search advertisements, either of which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

In addition to marketing through internet search engines, we frequently enter into contractual marketing relationships with other online and offline businesses that promote us to their customers. These marketing partners include financial and online service companies, affiliate programs and online advertisers and content providers.

Many factors influence the success of our relationship with our marketing partners, including:

<br> ● the continued positive market presence, reputation and growth of the marketing partner;

------

<br> ● the effectiveness of the marketing partner in marketing our websites and services;

<br> ● the interest of the marketing partner's customers in the products and services that we offer on our customer acquisition websites;

<br> ● the contractual terms we negotiate with the marketing partner, including the marketing fee we agree to pay a marketing partner;

● the percentage of the marketing partner's customers that purchase products or services through our customer acquisition websites;

<br> ● the ability of a marketing partner to maintain efficient and uninterrupted operation of its website; and

<br> ● our ability to work with the marketing partner to implement website changes, launch marketing campaigns and pursue other initiatives necessary to maintain positive consumer experiences and acceptable traffic volumes.

If we are unable to maintain successful relationships with our existing marketing partners or fail to establish successful relationships with new marketing partners, our business, operating results and financial condition will be harmed.

***Our business depends in part on our capacity to invest in technology as it develops, and substantial increases in the costs of technology and telecommunications services or our inability to attract and retain the necessary technologists could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.***

The use of technology in our industry has and will continue to expand and change rapidly. Our business depends, in part, upon our ability to develop and implement solutions that anticipate and keep pace with continuing changes in technology, industry standards and client preferences. We may incur significant expenses in an effort to keep pace with customer preferences for technology or to gain a competitive advantage through technological expertise or new technologies.

If we do not recognize the importance of a particular new technology to our business in a timely manner, are not committed to investing in and developing or adopting such new technology and applying these technologies to our business, or are unable to attract and retain the technologists necessary to develop and implement such technologies, our current solutions may be less attractive to existing and new clients, and we may lose market share to competitors who have recognized these trends and invested in such technology. There can be no assurance that we will have sufficient capacity or capital to meet these challenges. Any such failure to recognize the importance of such technology, a decision not to invest and develop or adopt such technology that keeps pace with evolving industry standards and changing client demands, or an inability to attract and retain the technologists necessary to develop and implement such technology could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

***Increases in employee expenses as well as changes to labor laws could reduce our profit margin.***

We may not be successful in our attempt to control costs associated with salaries and benefits as we continue to add capacity in locations where we consider wage levels of skilled personnel to be satisfactory. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, payroll and related costs and share-based payments accounted for $344.0 million, or 69.7%, of our revenue. Employee benefits expenses in each of the countries in which we operate are a function of the country's economic growth, level of employment and overall competition for qualified employees in the country. In most of the geographies in which we operate, we have experienced increasing labor costs due to increased demand and greater competition for qualified employees in fiscal year 2022. We may need to increase employee compensation more than in previous periods to remain competitive in attracting the quantity and quality of employees that our business requires, which may reduce our profit margins and have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In addition, wage increases or other expenses related to the termination of our employees may reduce our profit margins and have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. If we expand our operations into new jurisdictions, we may be subject to increased operating costs,

------

including higher employee compensation expenses in these new jurisdictions relative to our current operating costs, which could have a negative effect on our profit margin.

Furthermore, many of the countries in which we operate have labor protection laws, which may include statutorily mandated minimum annual wage increases, legislation that imposes financial obligations on employers and laws governing the employment of workers. These labor laws in one or more of the key jurisdictions in which we operate, particularly in the United States, Pakistan, the Philippines, Jamaica or Nicaragua, may be modified in the future in a way that is detrimental to our business. If these labor laws become more stringent, or if there are increases in statutory minimum wages or higher labor costs in these jurisdictions, it may become more difficult for us to discharge employees or cost effectively downsize our operations as our level of activity fluctuates, both of which would likely reduce our profit margins and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

***We may face difficulties as we expand our operations into countries in which we have no prior operating experience.***

We may expand our global operations in order to maintain an appropriate cost structure and meet our clients' needs. This may involve expanding into countries other than those in which we currently operate and where we have less familiarity with local procedures. It may involve expanding into less developed countries, which may have less political, social or economic stability and less developed infrastructure and legal systems. As we expand our business into new countries, we may encounter economic, regulatory, personnel, technological and other difficulties that increase our expenses or delay our ability to start up our operations or become profitable in such countries. This may affect our relationships with our clients and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

***Our profitability will suffer if we are not able to maintain asset utilization levels, price appropriately and control our costs.***

Our profitability is largely a function of the efficiency with which we utilize our assets, particularly our people and facilities, and the pricing that we are able to obtain for our solutions. Our utilization rates are affected by a number of factors, including our ability to transition employees from completed projects to new assignments, hire and assimilate new employees, forecast demand for our solutions and thereby maintain an appropriate headcount in each of our locations and geographies, manage attrition, accommodate our clients' requests to shift the mix of delivery locations during the pendency of a contract, and manage resources for training, professional development and other typically non-billable activities. The prices we are able to charge for our solutions are affected by a number of factors, including our clients' perceptions of our ability to add value through our solutions, competition, introduction of new services or products by us or our competitors, our ability to accurately estimate, attain and sustain revenues from client engagements, margins and cash flows over increasingly longer contract periods and general economic and political conditions. Therefore, if we are unable to price appropriately or manage our asset utilization levels, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our profitability is also a function of our ability to control our costs and improve our efficiency. As we increase the number of our employees and grow our business, we may not be able to manage the significantly larger and more geographically diverse workforce and our profitability may suffer.

***The inability or unwillingness of clients that represent a large portion of our accounts receivable balance to pay such balances in a timely fashion could adversely affect our business.***

We often carry significant accounts receivable balances from a limited number of clients that generate a large portion of our revenues. A client may become unable or unwilling to pay its balance in a timely fashion due to a general economic slowdown, economic weakness in its industry or the financial insolvency of its business. While we closely monitor our accounts receivable balances, a client's financial inability or unwillingness, for any

------

reason, to pay a large accounts receivable balance would adversely impact our financial condition and cash flow and could adversely impact our ability to draw upon our receivables-backed lines of credit.

***If we are unable to fund our working capital requirements and new investments, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected.***

Our business is characterized by high working capital requirements and the need to make new investments in operating sites and employee resources to meet the requirements of our clients. Similar to our competitors in this industry, we incur significant start-up costs related to investments in infrastructure to provide our solutions and the hiring and training of employees, such expenses historically being incurred before revenues are generated.

We are exposed to adverse changes in our clients' payment policies. If our key clients implement policies which extend the payment terms of our invoices, our working capital levels could be adversely affected and our financing costs may increase. If we are unable to fund our working capital requirements, access financing at competitive rates or make investments to meet the expanding business of our existing and potential new clients, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected.

***Our operating results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to various factors including seasonality.***

Our operating results may vary significantly from one quarter to the next and our business may be impacted by factors such as client loss, the timing of new contracts and of new product or service offerings, termination of existing contracts, variations in the volume of business from clients resulting from changes in our clients' operations, the business decisions of our clients regarding the use of our solutions, start-up costs, delays or difficulties in expanding our operating facilities and infrastructure, delays or difficulties in recruiting, changes to our revenue mix or to our pricing structure or that of our competitors, inaccurate estimates of resources and time required to complete ongoing projects, currency fluctuation and seasonal changes in the operations of our clients. The financial benefit of gaining a new client may not be recognized at the intended time due to delays in the implementation of our solutions or negatively impacted due to an increase in the start-up costs.

Based on our experience, the BPO industry experiences increased volumes during the fourth calendar quarter of the year. These seasonal effects also cause differences in revenues and income among the various quarters of any financial year, which means that the individual quarters of a year should not be directly compared with each other or used to predict annual financial results.

The sales cycle for our solutions, which may extend up to two years, and the internal budget and approval processes of our prospective clients, make it difficult to predict the timing of new client engagements.

***Damage or disruptions to our technology systems and facilities either through events beyond or within our control could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.***

Our key technology systems and facilities may be damaged in natural disasters such as earthquakes or fires or subject to damage or compromise from human error, technical disruptions, power failure, computer glitches, cyberattacks, security incidents and breaches, viruses or other malware, telecommunications failures, adverse weather conditions and other unforeseen events, all of which are beyond our control or through bad service or poor performance which are within our control. Such events may cause disruptions to information systems, electrical power and telephone service for sustained periods. Any significant failure, damage or destruction of our equipment or systems, or any major disruptions to basic infrastructure such as power and telecommunications systems in the locations in which we operate, could impede our ability to provide solutions to our clients and thus adversely affect their businesses, have a negative impact on our reputation and may cause us to incur substantial additional expenses to repair or replace damaged equipment or facilities.

------

While we maintain property, cyber, and business interruption insurance, our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to guarantee costs of repairing the damage caused by such disruptive events and such events may not be covered under our policies. Prolonged disruption of our solutions, even if due to events beyond our control, could also entitle our clients to terminate their contracts with us or result in other brand and reputational damages, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

**We face substantial competition in our business.**

The market in which we compete, which is comprised of the customer acquisition, customer engagement and customer experience management market segments, is highly fragmented and continuously evolving. We face competition from a variety of companies, including some of our own clients, which operate in distinct segments of the customer lifecycle journey. These segments are very competitive, and we expect competition to remain intense from a number of sources in the future. We believe that the most significant competitive factors in the markets in which we operate are service quality, value-added service offerings, industry experience, advanced technological capabilities, global coverage, reliability, scalability, security and price. The trend toward near- and offshore outsourcing, international expansion by foreign and domestic competitors and continued technological changes may result in new and different competitors entering our markets. These competitors may include entrants from the communications, software and data networking industries or entrants in geographical locations with lower costs than those in which we operate.

Some of our existing and future competitors have or will have greater financial, human and other resources, longer operating histories, greater technological expertise and more established relationships in the industries that we currently serve or may serve in the future. In addition, some of our competitors may enter into strategic or commercial relationships among themselves or with larger, more established companies in order to increase their ability to address customer needs and reduce operating costs or enter into similar arrangements with potential clients. Further, trends of consolidation in our certain industries and among competitors may result in new competitors with greater scale, a broader footprint, better technologies and price efficiencies attractive to our clients. Increased competition, our inability to compete successfully, pricing pressures or loss of market share could result in reduced operating profit margins and diminished financial performance which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

***Unfavorable economic conditions, especially in the United States and in the telecommunications, technology and cable industries from which we generate a significant percentage of our revenue, could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.***

Our results of operations may vary based on the impact of changes in the global economy on our clients. While it is often difficult to predict the impact of general economic conditions on our business, unfavorable economic conditions, such as those that occurred during the global financial crisis and economic downturn that began in 2008, could adversely affect the demand for some of our clients' products and services and, in turn, could cause a decline in the demand for our solutions. Additionally, several of our clients, particularly in the telecommunications and technology industries, have experienced substantial price competition. As a result, we face increasing price pressure from such clients, which, if continued, could negatively affect our operating and financial performance.

Our business and future growth depend largely on continued demand for our solutions from clients based in the United States. We derived 96.6% of our revenue from customers based in the United States during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. In addition, a substantial portion of our clients are concentrated in the telecommunications, technology, and cable industries. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, 18.1% of our revenue was derived from clients in the telecommunications industry, 13.8% of our revenue was derived from clients in the technology industry, 4.1% of our revenue was derived from clients in the cable industry and 19.4% of our revenue was derived from clients in the retail and e-commerce industry. For these reasons, among others, the occurrence or persistence of unfavorable economic conditions could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

------

***If our solutions do not comply with the quality standards required by our clients under our agreements, our clients may assert claims for reduced payments to us or substantial damages against us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.***

Many of our client contracts contain service level and performance requirements, including requirements relating to the quality of our solutions. Failure to meet service requirements or real or perceived errors made by our employees in the course of delivering our solutions could result in a reduction of revenue, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

In addition, in connection with our service contracts, certain representations are made, including representations relating to the quality and experience of our personnel. A failure or inability to meet these requirements or a breach of such representations could result in a claim for damages against us and seriously damage our reputation and affect our ability to attract new business.

***Our business prospects will suffer if we are unable to continue to anticipate our clients' needs by adapting to market and technology trends.***

Our success depends, in part, upon our ability to anticipate our clients' needs by adapting to market and technology trends. We may need to invest significant resources in research and development to maintain and improve our solutions and respond to our clients' changing needs. However, we may not be able to modify our current solutions or develop, introduce and integrate new solutions in a timely manner or on a cost-effective basis. If we are unable to further refine and enhance our solutions or to anticipate innovation opportunities and keep pace with evolving technologies, our solutions could become uncompetitive or obsolete and as a result our clients may terminate their relationship with us or choose to divert their business elsewhere, and our revenue may decline as a result. In addition, we may experience technical problems and additional costs as we introduce new solutions, deploy future iterations of our solutions and integrate new solutions with existing client systems and workflows. If any of these or related problems were to arise, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected.

In addition, we plan to expand across client industries and enter into new industry verticals such as travel and hospitality. If we are unable to successfully adapt our solutions to these industry verticals, our potential growth opportunities could be compromised.

***If we fail to adequately protect our intellectual property and proprietary information in the United States and abroad, our competitive position could be impaired and we may lose valuable assets, experience reduced revenues and incur costly litigation to protect our rights.***

We believe that our success is dependent, in part, upon protecting our intellectual property and proprietary information. We rely on a combination of intellectual property registrations, trade secrets and contractual restrictions to establish and protect our intellectual property. However, the steps we take to protect our intellectual property may provide only limited protection and may not now or in the future provide us with a competitive advantage. We may not be able to protect our intellectual property if we are unable to enforce our rights or if we do not detect unauthorized use of our intellectual property. Any of our intellectual property rights may be challenged by others or invalidated through administrative process or litigation. Furthermore, legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights are uncertain. Despite our precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy our technology and use information that we regard as proprietary to create products and services that compete with our solutions. In addition, the laws of some countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States.

We enter into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees and consultants and enter into confidentiality agreements with our directors, advisory board members and with the parties with whom we have strategic relationships and business alliances, as well as our clients. No assurance can be given that

------

these agreements will be effective in controlling access to and the distribution of our proprietary information. Further, these agreements may not prevent potential competitors from independently developing technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to ours, in which case we would not be able to assert trade secret rights.

We may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect our intellectual property rights. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights and to protect our trade secrets. Such litigation could be costly, time consuming and distracting to management and could result in the impairment or loss of portions of our intellectual property. Furthermore, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims and countersuits attacking the eligibility, validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights. Our inability to protect our proprietary technology against unauthorized copying or use, as well as any costly litigation, could make it more expensive for us to do business and adversely affect our operating results by delaying further sales or the implementation of our technologies, impairing the functionality of our platform and solutions, delaying introductions of new features or applications or injuring our reputation.

***Others could claim that we infringe on their intellectual property rights or violate contractual protections, which may result in substantial costs, diversion of resources and management attention and harm to our reputation.***

We or our clients may be subject to claims that our technology infringes upon the intellectual property rights of others. Any such infringement claims may result in substantial costs, divert management attention and other resources, harm our reputation and prevent us from offering our solutions. A successful infringement claim against us could materially and adversely affect our business, resulting in our substituting inferior or costlier technologies into our platform and solutions, monetary damages, reasonable royalties or an injunction against providing some or all of our solutions.

In our contracts, we agree to indemnify our clients for expenses and liabilities resulting from claimed infringement by our solutions, in some cases excluding third-party components, of the intellectual property rights of others. In some instances, the amount of these indemnity obligations may be greater than the revenues we receive from the client under the applicable contract. In addition, we may develop work product in connection with specific projects for our clients. While our contracts with our clients provide that we retain the ownership rights to our pre-existing proprietary intellectual property, in some cases we assign to clients intellectual property rights in and to some aspects of documentation or other work product developed specifically for these clients in connection with these projects, which may limit or prevent our ability to resell or reuse this intellectual property.

**Our global operations expose us to numerous legal and regulatory requirements.**

We provide solutions to our clients' customers in 43 countries and three continents around the world. We are subject to numerous, and sometimes conflicting, legal regimes on matters as diverse as anticorruption, content requirements, trade restrictions, tariffs, taxation, sanctions, immigration, internal and disclosure control obligations, securities regulation, anti-competition, data security, privacy and labor relations. For example, our operations in the United States are subject to U.S. laws on these diverse matters and our operations outside of the United States may also be subject to U.S. laws on these diverse matters. U.S. laws may be different in several respects from the laws of Pakistan, the Philippines, Jamaica and Nicaragua, where we have significant operations, and jurisdictions where we may seek to expand. We also have and may seek to expand operations in emerging market jurisdictions where legal systems may be less developed or familiar to us. In addition, there can be no assurance that the laws or administrative practices relating to taxation (including the current position as to income and withholding taxes), foreign exchange, export controls, economic sanctions or otherwise in the jurisdictions where we have operations will not change. Compliance with diverse legal requirements is costly, time-consuming and requires significant resources. Violations of one or more of these regulations in the conduct of our business could result in significant fines, criminal sanctions against us or our officers, prohibitions on doing business and damage to our reputation. Violations of these regulations in connection with the

------

performance of our obligations to our clients also could result in liability for significant monetary damages, fines or criminal prosecution, unfavorable publicity and other reputational damage, restrictions on our ability to process information and allegations by our clients that we have not performed our contractual obligations. Due to the varying degrees of development of the legal systems of the countries in which we operate, local laws might be insufficient to protect our rights.

We are subject to economic sanctions, export control, anti-corruption, anti-bribery, and similar laws. Non-compliance with such laws can subject us to criminal or civil liability and harm our business, revenues, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to U.S. export controls and economic sanctions laws and regulations, including the U.S. Export Administration Regulations administered by the U.S. Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security and the economic and trade sanctions regulations administered by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Controls. Exports, re-exports and transfers of our software and services must be made in compliance with these laws and regulations, which could impair our ability to compete in international markets and subject us to liability if we are not in compliance with applicable laws. Specifically, the provision of our services and our international activities are subject to various economic and trade sanctions administered by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control, which include prohibitions on the sale or supply of certain products and services to U.S. embargoed or sanctioned countries, governments, persons and entities. The Office of Foreign Assets Control rules also prohibit U.S. persons from facilitating a foreign person's engagement in or with such countries, governments, persons and entities.

Although we take precautions to prevent our services from being provided or deployed in violation of such laws, our services could be provided inadvertently in violation of such laws despite the precautions we take, including usage by our customers in violation of our terms of service. We also cannot assure you that our employees and agents will not take actions in violation of our policies and applicable law, for which we may be ultimately held responsible. If we fail to comply with these laws, we and our employees could be subject to civil or criminal penalties, including the possible loss of export privileges, monetary penalties, and, in extreme cases, imprisonment of responsible employees for knowing and willful violations of these laws. We may also be adversely affected through penalties, reputational harm, loss of access to certain markets, or otherwise.

In addition, various countries regulate the import and export of certain encryption and other technology, including import and export permitting and licensing requirements, and have enacted laws that could limit our ability to distribute our products or could limit our users' ability to access our products in those countries. Changes in our products, or future changes in export and import regulations may prevent our users with international operations from utilizing our products globally or, in some cases, prevent the export or import of our products to certain countries, governments, or persons altogether. Any change in export or import regulations, economic sanctions, or related legislation, or change in the countries, governments, persons, or technologies targeted by such regulations, could result in decreased use of our products by, or in our decreased ability to export or sell products to, existing or potential users with international operations. Any decreased use of our platform or limitation on our ability to export or sell our products would likely adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial results.

In many parts of the world, including countries in which we operate or seek to expand, practices in the local business community may not conform to international business standards and could violate anticorruption laws or regulations, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act 2010 and the Bermuda Bribery Act of 2016. Our employees, subcontractors, agents and other third parties with which we associate could take actions that violate our policies or procedures designed to promote legal and regulatory compliance or applicable anticorruption laws or regulations. As we continue our international business, we may also engage with distributors and third-party intermediaries to market our solutions and to obtain necessary permits, licenses, and other regulatory approvals. In addition, we or our third-party intermediaries may have direct or indirect interactions with officials and employees of government agencies or state-owned or affiliated entities. We can be held liable for the corrupt or other illegal activities of these third-party intermediaries, our employees, representatives, contractors, partners and agents, even if we do not explicitly authorize such activities.

------

Violations of these laws or regulations by us, our employees or any of these third parties could subject us to criminal or civil enforcement actions (whether or not we participated or knew about the actions leading to the violations) including fines or penalties, disgorgement of profits and suspension or disqualification from work, including U.S. federal contracting, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, including our results of operations and our reputation.

We cannot predict whether any material suits, claims, or investigations may arise in the future. Regardless of the outcome of any future actions, claims, or investigations, we may incur substantial defense costs and such actions may cause a diversion of management time and attention. Also, it is possible that we may be required to pay substantial damages or settlement costs which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

***Our client base includes many entities in highly regulated industries, potentially increasing our legal risk and compliance costs and requiring implementation of additional security measures.***

Many of our clients are engaged in highly regulated industries that have an array of sector-specific regulatory obligations, including privacy and security requirements. Specifically, our focus on the telecommunications, technology and cable industries means that we may process or come into possession of data that must be treated with special care. In additional to government regulations, our client contracts contain requirements related to the retention of records.

In the United States, telecommunications providers are subject to rules on the use and sharing of Customer Proprietary Network Information ("CPNI"). The Telecommunications Act of 1996 limits the uses to which such information may be put, and the parties with whom it may be shared, absent customer permission. It also requires that CPNI be adequately safeguarded. Compliance with these obligations has been a topic of increased interest for the U.S. Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") which has undertaken high-profile CPNI enforcement actions in recent years. The FCC also is in the process of applying such rules to broadband service providers, which could affect how we may provide our solutions to this sector of the telecommunications industry. We instruct our clients not to provide any CPNI to us, but this information may inadvertently be provided to us by our clients as part of their customer information.

In the United States, two federal agencies, the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") and the FCC, and various states have enacted laws including, at the federal level, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, that restrict the placing of certain telephone calls and texts to residential and wireless telephone subscribers by means of automatic telephone dialing systems, prerecorded or artificial voice messages and fax machines. Internationally, we are also subject to similar laws imposing limitations on marketing calls to wireline and wireless numbers and compliance with do not call rules. These laws require companies to institute processes and safeguards to comply with these restrictions. Some of these laws can be enforced by the FTC, FCC, state attorney generals, foreign regulators or private party litigants. In these types of actions, the plaintiff may seek damages, statutory penalties, costs and/or attorneys' fees.

These and other sector-specific obligations could increase our legal risk and impose additional compliance costs on our solutions. If we fail to comply with these obligations, we could suffer a range of consequences, including contract breach claims from our clients, third party claims and litigation, regulatory fines and other penalties, or reputational harm, all of which may have a material adverse impact on our business.

***Our business is subject to a variety of U.S. and international laws and regulations, including those regarding privacy, data protection and information security, and our customers may be subject to regulations related to the handling and transfer of certain types of personal and confidential information. Any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations would harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.***

We and our customers may be subject to privacy- and data protection-related laws and regulations that impose obligations in connection with the collection, use, storage, transfer, dissemination, security, and/or other

------

processing ("Processing") of personal information (such personal information collectively with all information defined or described by applicable law as "personal data," "personally identifiable information," "PII" or any similar term, is referred to as personal information), data, financial data, health data or other similar data. Existing U.S. federal, state and foreign privacy- and data protection-related laws and regulations are evolving and subject to potentially differing interpretations and conflicting requirements, and various legislative and regulatory bodies may expand current or enact new laws and regulations regarding privacy- and data protection-related matters. New laws, amendments to or re-interpretations of existing laws and regulations, rules of self-regulatory bodies, industry standards and contractual obligations may impact our business and practices, and we may be required to expend significant resources to adapt to these changes or stop offering our products in certain countries. These developments could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In the United States, the privacy and data protection rules and regulations to which we may be subject include those promulgated under the authority of the FTC, state regulators, and regulator enforcement positions and expectations. At the state level, all states have implemented security breach notification laws. Several states, including California, Connecticut, Maryland, Utah, and Virginia have enacted laws creating new individual privacy rights for consumers (as that word is broadly defined in the law) and placing increased privacy and security obligations on entities handling personal information of consumers (which, depending on the law may include employee data and business contact information) or households. The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the only such law currently in effect, requires covered companies to provide new disclosures to California consumers and provide such consumers ways to opt-out of certain sales of personal information. The CCPA provides for civil penalties for violations and allows for a new cause of action for data breaches. Additionally, a new privacy law, the California Privacy Rights Act, or the CPRA, was approved by California voters in the November 2020 election. The CPRA, which will take effect in most material respects in January 2023, modifies the CCPA significantly, potentially resulting in further uncertainty and requiring us to incur additional costs and expenses in an effort to comply. Other U.S. states, including Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, and Utah, have enacted similar—but not identical—laws. As our business is directed exclusively to business consumers, we may not be directly subject to all such consumer-directed privacy laws. Nonetheless, we must evaluate whether and to what extent we are required to comply with any such law; to the extent that we are subject to these or other privacy laws, we may be required to implement additional processes or procedures or change the way in which we do business, ultimately increasing costs and limiting our ability to collect, use, and share data subject to those laws.

Similarly, many foreign countries and governmental bodies, including the EU member states and the United Kingdom, have laws and regulations concerning the Processing of personal information obtained from their residents and individuals located in the EU or UK or by businesses operating within their jurisdiction, which are often more restrictive than those in the United States. Laws and regulations in these jurisdictions apply broadly to the Processing of personal information that identifies, may be used to identify, or merely relates to an individual; this includes names, email addresses and, in some jurisdictions, IP addresses and other online or device identifiers. In particular, on April 27, 2016, the European Union adopted the General Data Protection Regulation 2016 / 679 ("EU-GDPR") that took effect on May 25, 2018. The EU-GDPR repeals and replaces the EU Data Protection Directive 95 / 46 / EC, and it is directly applicable across EU member states. The EU-GDPR applies to any company established in the EU as well as to those outside the EU if they process Personally Identifiable Information, as defined under the EU-GDPR, related to the provision of goods or services to individuals in the EU or the monitoring of individuals' behavior (for example, through online tracking) in the EU. The EU-GDPR enhances data protection obligations for businesses and provides direct legal obligations and potential liabilities for service providers processing Personally Identifiable Information on behalf of customers, including with respect to cooperation with European data protection authorities, implementation of security measures and keeping records of personal information processing activities. Moreover, the EU-GDPR requirements apply not only to third-party transactions, such as with our customers and service providers, but also to transfers of EU personal information between us and our subsidiaries, including employee information. Noncompliance with the EU-GDPR can trigger steep fines of up to €20 million or 4% of global annual revenues, whichever is higher. Following the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the EU, the United Kingdom now falls under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (the UK-GDPR), which is tailored by the Data Protection

------

Act of 2018, as amended. The UK-GDPR was drafted almost word for word from the EU-GDPR law text and revised to accommodate United Kingdom law rather than EU law.

In addition to the EU-GDPR, the EU also is considering another draft data protection regulation. The proposed regulation, known as the Regulation on Privacy and Electronic Communications ("ePrivacy Regulation") would replace the current ePrivacy Directive. Originally planned to be adopted and implemented at the same time as the EU-GDPR, the ePrivacy Regulation has been delayed but could be enacted sometime in the relatively near future. While the new regulation contains protections for those using communications services (for example, protections against online tracking technologies), the potential timing of its enactment significantly later than the EU-GDPR means that additional time and effort may need to be spent addressing differences between the ePrivacy Regulation and the EU-GDPR. New rules related to the ePrivacy Regulation are likely to include enhanced consent requirements in order to use communications content and communications metadata, as well as obligations and restrictions on the processing of data from an end-user's terminal equipment, which may negatively impact our product offerings and our relationships with our customers. Preparing for and complying with the EU-GDPR and the ePrivacy Regulation (if and when it becomes effective) has required and will continue to require us to incur substantial operational costs and may require us to change our business practices. Despite our efforts to bring practices into compliance with the EU-GDPR and before the effective date of the ePrivacy Regulation, we may not be successful either due to internal or external factors such as resource allocation limitations or varying regulatory interpretation of these laws' requirements. Non-compliance could result in proceedings against us by governmental entities, customers, data subjects, consumer associations or others.

We also are—or would be—subject to data protection and information security laws in other jurisdictions in which we operate, including in the Philippines and Pakistan. Laws in these and other countries are continuing to evolve. With respect to all the foregoing, any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with applicable U.S., EU or other foreign privacy or data security laws, policies, industry standards or legal obligations, or any security incident that results in the unauthorized Processing of personal information or other customer data may result in governmental investigations, inquiries, enforcement actions and prosecutions, private litigation, fines and penalties or adverse publicity.

We expect that there will continue to be new proposed laws, regulations and industry standards concerning privacy, data protection and information security in the U.S., the EU and other jurisdictions, and we cannot yet determine the impact such future laws, regulations and standards may have on our business. Because global laws, regulations, industry standards and other legal obligations concerning privacy, data security, and information security have continued to develop and evolve rapidly, it is possible that we or our business may not be, or may not have been, compliant with each such applicable law, regulation, industry standard or other legal obligation.

Any such new laws, regulations, other legal obligations or industry standards, or any changed interpretation of existing laws, regulations or other standards may require us to incur additional costs and restrict our business operations. If our privacy, data security, or information security measures fail to comply with current or future laws, regulations, policies, legal obligations or industry standards, we may be subject to litigation, regulatory investigations, fines or other liabilities, as well as negative publicity and a potential loss of business.

***Unauthorized or improper disclosure of personal information, breach of privacy, whether inadvertent or as the result of a cyber-attack or improperly by our employees, could result in liability and harm our reputation which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.***

Our business depends significantly upon technology infrastructure, telephone systems, data and other equipment and systems. Internal or external attacks on any of those could disrupt the normal operations of our facilities and impede our ability to provide critical solutions to our clients, thereby subjecting us to liability under our contracts. In addition, our business involves the use, storage, and transmission of information about our employees, our clients, and customers of our clients in connection with our solutions such as personal

------

information of the customers of our clients. While we take measures to protect the security of, and against unauthorized access to, our systems, as well as the privacy of personal information and proprietary information, it is possible that our security controls over our systems, as well as other security practices we follow, may not prevent the improper access to or disclosure of personal information or proprietary information. Such disclosure could harm our reputation and subject us to significant liability under our contracts and laws that protect personal information, resulting in increased costs or loss of revenue. Further, data privacy is subject to frequently changing rules and regulations, which sometimes conflict among the various jurisdictions and countries in which we provide solutions. Our failure to adhere to or successfully implement processes in response to changing regulatory requirements in this area or any other kind of improper access to private personal information could result in legal liability or impairment to our reputation in the marketplace, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

As previously noted, we experienced a security incident that impacted a portion of our systems, and, threat actors, may, in the future, attempt to penetrate our systems or those of our vendors or fraudulently induce our personnel or the personnel of our vendors to disclose information in order to gain access to our systems or data or seek to gain a fraudulent payment (such as through a phishing/wire fraud scheme). The number and complexity of these threats continue to increase over time. If a material breach of our information technology systems or those of our vendors occurs, the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures could be harmed and our reputation and credibility could be damaged, resulting in increased costs and potential losses to the Company. For more information, see "Item 3D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—We were the target of a cybersecurity attack that impacted a portion of our information technology systems."

Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover losses associated with security incidents, and in any case, such insurance may not cover all of the types of costs, expenses and losses we could incur to address a security incident. As a result, we may be required to expend significant additional resources to protect against the threat of these issues or to alleviate problems caused by the same. In addition, we could be subject to regulatory actions and/or claims made by individuals and groups in private litigation related to data collection and use practices and other data privacy laws and regulations, including claims for misuse or inappropriate disclosure of data, as well as unfair or deceptive practices. Although we develop and maintain systems and controls designed to prevent these events from occurring, and we have a process to identify and mitigate threats, the development and maintenance of these systems, controls and processes is costly and requires ongoing monitoring and updating as technologies change and efforts to overcome security measures become increasingly sophisticated. Moreover, despite our efforts, the possibility of these events occurring cannot be eliminated entirely and there can be no assurance that any measures we take will prevent cyberattacks or security incidents that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.

***Our existing debt may affect our flexibility in operating and developing our business and our ability to satisfy our obligations.***

As of June 30, 2022, we had total indebtedness of $104.7 million, including $89.7 million in lease liabilities. Our level of indebtedness may have significant negative effects on our future operations, including:

<br> ● impairing our ability to obtain additional financing in the future (or to obtain such financing on acceptable terms) for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other important needs;

● requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, which could impair our liquidity and reduce the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other important needs;

<br> ● increasing the possibility of an event of default under the financial and operating covenants contained in our debt instruments; and

● limiting our ability to adjust to rapidly changing conditions in the industry, reducing our ability to withstand competitive pressures and making us more vulnerable to a downturn in general economic conditions or business than our competitors with relatively lower levels of debt.

------

If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our debt, we may be required to refinance all or a portion of our existing debt or obtain additional financing. We cannot assure you that any such refinancing would be possible or that any additional financing could be obtained. Our inability to obtain such refinancing or financing may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

In addition, several of our financing arrangements contain a number of covenants and restrictions including limits on our ability and our subsidiaries' ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends and make certain investments. Complying with these covenants may cause us to take actions that make it more difficult to successfully execute our business strategy and we may face competition from companies not subject to such restrictions. Moreover, our failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default or refusal by our creditors to renew certain of our loans which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operation and prospects. In the past, we have not been in compliance with certain applicable debt covenants in our financing arrangements.

***If we experience challenges with respect to labor relations, our overall operating costs and profitability could be adversely affected, and our reputation could be harmed.***

If we fail to maintain good relations with our employees, we could suffer a strike or other significant work stoppage or other form of industrial action, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and harm our reputation.

***Fluctuations against the U.S. dollar in the local currencies in the countries in which we operate could have a material effect on our results of operations.***

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, 3.4% of our revenue was generated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. A portion of our costs and expenses that were incurred outside of the United States were paid for in foreign currencies, mostly the local currencies of the Philippines, Jamaica, and Pakistan. During the year ended June 30, 2022, out of our total payroll and related costs, 25.2% were incurred in the Philippines Peso, 14.9% were incurred in the Jamaican Dollar and 9.8% were incurred in Pakistani Rupee. Because our financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and revenues are primarily generated in U.S. dollars whereas some portion of the cost is incurred in foreign currencies, any significant unhedged fluctuations in the currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the currencies of countries in which we incur costs in local currencies will affect our results of operations and financial statements. This may also affect the comparability of our financial results from period to period, as we convert our subsidiaries' statements of financial position into U.S. dollars from local currencies at the period-end exchange rate, and income and cash flow statements at average exchange rates for the year. See "Item 5A. Operating Results —Factors Affecting Our Operating Profit Margins" for more information.

In addition to our exposure to the Philippine Peso, Jamaican Dollar and Pakistani Rupee, we also have exposures to the Nicaraguan Cordoba, Great British Pound, Canadian Dollar, CFA Franc (XOF), Euro, and Honduran Lempira. Of these, the Nicaraguan Cordoba is the most significant after the Philippine Peso, Jamaican Dollar and Pakistani Rupee.

As we increase our revenues from non-U.S. locations or expand our solution delivery or back office footprint to other international locations, this effect may be magnified. We engage in hedging strategies in an effort to reduce the adverse impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, which may not be successful. See "Item 5A. Operating Results —Factors Affecting Our Operating Profit Margins" for more information.

***The estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth included in this annual report may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the market in which we compete achieves the forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all.***

Market opportunity estimates and growth forecasts are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on

------

assumptions and estimates that may not prove to be accurate. The estimates and forecasts in this annual report relating to the size and expected growth of the market for our portfolio of integrated solutions may prove to be inaccurate. Any expansion in our market depends on a number of factors, including the cost, performance and perceived value associated with our solutions and those of our competitors. Even if the markets in which we currently compete meet the size estimates and growth forecasted in this annual report, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all. Our growth is subject to many factors, including our success in implementing our business strategy, which is subject to many risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, the forecasts of market growth included in this annual report should not be taken as indicative of our future growth.

***We have entered into certain related-party transactions and may continue to rely on related parties for certain key development and support activities.***

We have entered into, and may continue to enter into, transactions with affiliates of TRGI for corporate and operational services. See "Item 7B. Related Party Transactions." Such transactions may not have been entered into on an arm's-length basis, and we may have achieved more favorable terms because such transactions were entered into with our related parties. We rely on, and will continue to rely on, our related parties to maintain these services. If the pricing for these services changes, or if our related parties cease to provide these services, including by terminating agreements with us, we may be unable to obtain replacements for these services on the same terms without disruption to our business. This could have a material effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

***We may acquire other companies in pursuit of growth, which may divert our management's attention, result in dilution to our shareholders and consume resources that are necessary to sustain our business.***

We may decide to acquire complementary businesses in the future. Negotiating these transactions can be time-consuming, difficult and expensive, and our ability to complete these transactions may be subject to conditions or approvals that are beyond our control, including anti-takeover and antitrust laws in various jurisdictions. Consequently, these transactions, even if undertaken and announced, may not close.

An acquisition, investment or new business relationship may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. In particular, we may encounter difficulties assimilating or integrating the businesses, technologies, services, products, personnel or operations of acquired companies, particularly if the key personnel of the acquired company choose not to work for us, the acquired company's technology is not easily compatible with ours or we have difficulty retaining the customers of any acquired business due to changes in management or otherwise. Mergers or acquisitions may also disrupt our business, divert our resources and require significant management attention that would otherwise be available for the development of our business. Moreover, the anticipated benefits of any merger, acquisition, investment or similar partnership may not be realized or we may be exposed to unknown liabilities, including litigation against the companies we may acquire. For one or more of those transactions, we may:

<br> ● issue additional equity securities that would dilute our shareholders;

<br> ● use cash that we may need in the future to operate our business;

<br> ● incur debt on terms unfavorable to us or that we are unable to repay or that may place burdensome restrictions on our operations or cash flows;

<br> ● incur large charges or substantial liabilities; or

<br> ● become subject to adverse tax consequences, or substantial depreciation or amortization, deferred compensation or other acquisition related accounting charges.

Any of these risks could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

------

***Our facilities operate on leasehold property, and our inability to renew our leases on commercially acceptable terms or at all may adversely affect our results of operations.***

Our facilities operate on leasehold property. Our leases are subject to renewal, and we may be unable to renew such leases on commercially acceptable terms or at all. Our inability to renew our leases, or a renewal of our leases with a rental rate higher than the prevailing rate under the applicable lease prior to expiration, may have an adverse impact on our operations, including disrupting our operations or increasing our cost of operations. In addition, in the event of non-renewal of our leases, we may be unable to locate suitable replacement properties for our facilities or we may experience delays in relocation that could lead to a disruption in our operations. Any disruption in our operations could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operation.

***If our goodwill or amortizable intangible assets become impaired, we could be required to record a significant charge to earnings.***

We had goodwill and other intangible assets totaling $14.9 million as of June 30, 2022. We review our goodwill and amortizable intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. We assess whether there has been an impairment in the value of goodwill at least annually. In the year ended June 30, 2022, we did not recognize any impairment of goodwill or intangible assets. Factors that may be considered a change in circumstances indicating that the carrying value of our goodwill or amortizable intangible assets may not be recoverable include declines in stock price, market capitalization or cash flows and slower growth rates in our industry. We could be required to record a significant charge to earnings in our financial statements during the period in which any impairment of our goodwill or amortizable intangible assets were determined, negatively impacting our results of operations. For more information, please refer to our audited consolidated financial statements included at the end of this annual report.

***Our ability to use our U.S. net operating loss carry forwards may be subject to limitation.***

As of June 30, 2022, for income tax purposes, we had estimated U.S. federal net operating loss carry forwards of $18.9 million and U.S. state net operating loss carry forwards of $32.2 million, which will begin to expire in 2029. As of that same date, we had U.S. federal tax credits carry forward for income tax purposes of $2.5 million, which will begin to expire in 2039. Our Canadian subsidiary had net operating loss carry forwards of $2.2 million, which will begin to expire in 2028. As of that same date, our European and UK subsidiaries had net operating loss carry forwards of $6.5 million, which can be carried forward indefinitely. Our Luxembourg subsidiary had net operating loss carry forwards of $1.1 million which will begin to expire in 2037. Our subsidiary in Senegal has net operating loss carry forwards of $1.8 million which will begin to expire in 2023. The timing and manner in which we may utilize net operating losses may be limited by tax rules regarding changes in ownership and a lack of future taxable income which could adversely affect our ability to utilize our net operating losses before they expire. In general, net operating losses in one country cannot be used to offset income in any other country and net operating losses in one state cannot be used to offset income in any other state. Accordingly, we may be subject to tax in certain jurisdictions even if we have unused net operating losses in other jurisdictions. Furthermore, each jurisdiction in which we operate may have its own limitations on our ability to utilize net operating losses or tax credit carryovers generated in that jurisdiction. These limitations may increase our U.S. federal, state or foreign income tax liability.

**Risks Related to Being Incorporated in Bermuda**

***Tax matters, new legislation and actions by taxing authorities may have an adverse effect on our operations, effective tax rate and financial condition.***

We may not be able to predict our future tax liabilities due to the international nature of our operations, as we are subject to the complex and varying tax laws and rules of several foreign jurisdictions. Our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected if tax contingencies are resolved adversely or if

------

we become subject to increased levels of taxation.

We are also subject to income taxes in the United States and numerous other foreign jurisdictions. Our tax expense and cash tax liability in the future could be adversely affected by numerous factors, including, but not limited to, changes in tax laws, regulations, accounting principles or interpretations and the potential adverse outcome of tax examinations and pending tax-related litigation. Changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, which may result from a decline in our profitability or changes in tax rates or legislation, could have a material adverse effect on our tax expense. The governments of foreign jurisdictions from which we deliver solutions may assert that certain of our clients have a "permanent establishment" in such foreign jurisdictions by reason of the activities we perform on their behalf, particularly those clients that exercise control over or have substantial dependency on our solutions. Such an assertion could affect the size and scope of the solutions requested by such clients in the future.

Transfer pricing regulations, to which we are subject, require that any transaction among us and our subsidiaries be on arm's-length terms. If the applicable tax authorities were to determine that the transactions among us and our subsidiaries do not meet arm's-length criteria, we may incur increased tax liability, including accrued interest and penalties. Such increase on our tax expenses would reduce our profitability and cash flows.

On December 5, 2017, following an assessment of the tax policies of various countries by the Code of Conduct Group for Business Taxation of the European Union, the Council of the European Union (the "Council") approved and published Council conclusions containing a list of "non-cooperative jurisdictions" for tax purposes. In response to the Council's findings, on December 31, 2018, the Bermuda government enacted the Economic Substance Act 2018, and related regulations, as subsequently amended (the "Substance Act"), with effect from July 1, 2019 for existing Bermuda entities, requiring certain entities in Bermuda engaged in "relevant activities" to maintain a substantial economic presence in Bermuda and to satisfy economic substance requirements. The list of "relevant activities" includes holding entities, and the legislation requires Bermuda companies engaging in a "relevant activity" to be locally managed and directed, to carry on core income generating activities in Bermuda, to maintain adequate physical presence in Bermuda, and to have an adequate level of local full time qualified employees and incur adequate operating expenditure in Bermuda. Under the Substance Act, any entity that must satisfy economic substance requirements but fails to do so could face automatic disclosure to competent authorities in the European Union of the information filed by the entity with the Bermuda Registrar of Companies in connection with the economic substance requirements and may also face financial penalties, restriction or regulation of its business activities or may be struck as a registered entity in Bermuda. As a result of implementing the Substance Act, Bermuda does not currently appear on the Council's list of "non-cooperative jurisdictions" for tax purposes, however, as of February 24, 2022, the Council has temporarily added Bermuda to the list of cooperative jurisdictions that have committed to implement good tax governance principles (Annex II, also known as the "Grey List"). Bermuda expects to be removed from the Grey List in October 2022 and return to being "White Listed," as it has fully complied with the additional requirements of the Council. Although we believe we comply with the requirements of the Substance Act, we are not able to predict how the Bermuda authorities will interpret and enforce the Substance Act or the potential impact of compliance or noncompliance on our results of operations and financial condition.

Moreover, the current U.S. administration and certain members of the U.S. Congress have stated that one of their top legislative priorities is significant reform of the Internal Revenue Code. On August 16, 2022, the United States enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which introduces a fifteen percent corporate minimum tax and a one percent excise tax on stock repurchases. We continue to evaluate the Inflation Reduction Act and its requirements, as well as its application to our business.

Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential impact to them of the Inflation Reduction Act and any subsequent legislative changes and administrative guidance to them.

Furthermore, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is leading an initiative under its base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) project aimed at imposing a global minimum tax rate, with the intention of implementing the proposed "Pillar One" by mid-2023. We do not know when, or if, the OECD's

------

proposals will be adopted; however, such proposals may have implications for international companies based in Bermuda. At this stage it is difficult to predict whether and to what extent any legislative changes that are adopted to implement the OECD's proposals will impact us.

***We may become subject to taxes in Bermuda after 2035, which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and shareholders' investments.***

The Bermuda Minister of Finance, under the Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act 1966 of Bermuda, as amended, has given us assurances that if any legislation is enacted in Bermuda that would impose tax computed on profits or income, or computed on any capital asset, gain or appreciation, or any tax in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax, then the imposition of any such tax will not be applicable to us or any of our operations, shares, debentures or other obligations until March 31, 2035, except insofar as such tax applies to persons ordinarily residing in Bermuda or to any taxes payable by us in respect of real property owned or leased by us in Bermuda. See "Item 10E. Taxation." Given the limited duration of the Bermuda Minister of Finance's assurance, we cannot assure shareholders that we will not be subject to any Bermuda tax after March 31, 2035.

***We are a foreign private issuer and, as a result, we are not subject to U.S. proxy rules and are subject to Exchange Act reporting obligations that, to some extent, are more lenient and less frequent than those of a U.S. domestic public company.***

We report under the Exchange Act as a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status. Because we qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act and although we are subject to Bermuda laws and regulations with regard to such matters and intend to furnish quarterly financial information to the SEC, we are exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including:

<br> ● the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act;

<br> ● the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and

<br> ● the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information, or current reports on Form 8-K, upon the occurrence of specified significant events.

In addition, foreign private issuers are not required to file their annual report on Form 20-F until 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, while U.S. domestic issuers that are accelerated filers are required to file their annual report on Form 10-K within 75 days after the end of each fiscal year. Foreign private issuers are also exempt from Regulation Fair Disclosure, aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures of material information. As a result of the above, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are not foreign private issuers.

***As a foreign private issuer and a controlled company, we are not subject to certain Nasdaq corporate governance rules applicable to U.S. listed companies.***

As a foreign private issuer, we rely on a provision in the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards that allows us to follow Bermuda law with regard to certain aspects of corporate governance. This allows us to follow certain corporate governance practices that differ in significant respects from the corporate governance requirements applicable to U.S. companies listed on the Nasdaq Global Market.

For example, we are exempt from Nasdaq regulations that require a listed U.S. company to:

<br> ● have a majority of the board of directors consist of independent directors;

<br> ● require non-management directors to meet on a regular basis without management present;

------

<br> ● adopt a code of conduct and promptly disclose any waivers of the code for directors or executive officers that should address certain specified items;

<br> ● have an independent compensation committee;

<br> ● have an independent nominating committee;

<br> ● solicit proxies and provide proxy statements for all shareholder meetings;

<br> ● review related-party transactions; and

<br> ● seek shareholder approval for the implementation and modification of certain equity compensation plans and issuances of common shares.

As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to follow home country practice in lieu of the above requirements. In accordance with our Nasdaq Global Market listing, our audit committee is required to comply with the provisions of Section 301 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act, both of which are also applicable to U.S. companies listed on the Nasdaq Global Market. Because we are a foreign private issuer, however, our audit committee is not subject to additional Nasdaq corporate governance requirements applicable to listed U.S. companies, including the requirements to have a minimum of three members and to affirmatively determine that all members are "independent," using more stringent criteria than those applicable to us as a foreign private issuer. These reduced compliance requirements may make our common shares less attractive to some investors, which could adversely affect their market price.

In the event we no longer qualify as a foreign private issuer, we intend to rely on the "controlled company" exemption under Nasdaq corporate governance rules. A "controlled company" under Nasdaq corporate governance rules is defined as a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company. Currently, our principal shareholder, TRGI, holds the right to appoint a majority of our board of directors pursuant to our bye-laws, making us a "controlled company" within the meaning of Nasdaq corporate governance rules. As a controlled company, we are eligible to, and, in the event we no longer qualify as a foreign private issuer, we intend to elect not to comply with certain of corporate governance standards.

***We may lose our foreign private issuer status which would then require us to comply with the Exchange Act's domestic reporting regime and cause us to incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses.***

We are a foreign private issuer and therefore we are not required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. In order to maintain our current status as a foreign private issuer, either:

<br> ● a majority of our common shares must be either directly or indirectly owned of record by non-residents of the United States; or

● a majority of our "executive officers" or directors may not be U.S. citizens or residents, more than 50% of our assets cannot be located in the United States, and our business must be administered principally outside the United States.

A majority of our executives, assets and business are located in and managed from the United States. As a result, if a majority of our common shares become either directly or indirectly owned of record by United States residents, we will lose our foreign private issuer status. If we lost this status, we would be required to comply with the Exchange Act reporting and other requirements applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, which are more detailed and extensive than the requirements for foreign private issuers.

We may also be required to make changes in our corporate governance practices in accordance with various SEC and Nasdaq rules. The regulatory and compliance costs to us under U.S. securities laws if we are required to comply with the reporting requirements applicable to a U.S. domestic issuer may be significantly higher than the cost we would incur as a foreign private issuer. As a result, we expect that a loss of foreign private issuer status would increase our legal and financial compliance costs and would make some activities more time

------

consuming and costly. We also expect that if we were required to comply with the rules and regulations applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, it would make it more difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These rules and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors.

***Bermuda law differs from the laws in effect in the United States and may afford less protection to holders of our common shares.***

When the affairs of a company are being conducted in a manner that is oppressive or prejudicial to the interests of some shareholders, one or more shareholders may apply to the Supreme Court of Bermuda, which may make such order as it sees fit, including an order regulating the conduct of the company's affairs in the future or ordering the purchase of the shares of any shareholders by other shareholders or by the company. In addition, under our bye-laws and as permitted by Bermuda law, each shareholder has waived any claim or right of action against our directors or officers for any action taken by directors or officers in the performance of their duties, except for actions involving fraud or dishonesty. In addition, the rights of holders of our common shares and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under Bermuda law are not as clearly established as under statutes or judicial precedent in existence in jurisdictions in the United States, particularly the State of Delaware. Therefore, holders of our common shares may have more difficulty protecting their interests than would

------

shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction within the United States.

***Any U.S. or other foreign judgments you may obtain against us may be difficult to enforce against us in Bermuda.***

We are incorporated in Bermuda and a significant portion of our assets is located outside the United States. In addition, certain of our directors are non-residents of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for U.S. investors to serve process within the United States upon us or our directors and executive officers, or to enforce a judgment against us for civil liabilities in U.S. courts.

In addition, you should not assume that courts in the countries in which we are incorporated or where our assets are located would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against us based upon the civil liability provisions of applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws or would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against us based on those laws.

**Risks Related to Our Common Shares**

**The market price of our common shares may be volatile.**

The stock market in general, and the market for equities of newly public companies in particular, have been highly volatile. As a result, the market price of our common shares is likely to be similarly volatile, and investors in our common shares may experience a decrease, which could be substantial, in the value of their common shares, including decreases unrelated to our operating performance or prospects, or a complete loss of their investment. The price of our common shares could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to a number of factors, including those listed elsewhere in this "Risk Factors" section and others such as:

<br> ● variations in our operating performance and the performance of our competitors;

<br> ● actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly or annual operating results;

<br> ● changes in our revenues or earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts;

<br> ● publication of research reports by securities analysts about us or our competitors in our industry;

<br> ● failure of securities analysts to initiate or maintain coverage of us, changes in ratings and financial estimates and the publication of other news by any securities analysts who follow our company, or our failure to meet these estimates or the expectations of investors;

<br> ● our failure or the failure of our competitors to meet analysts' projections or guidance that we or our competitors may give to the market;

<br> ● additions or departures of key personnel;

<br> ● strategic decisions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions, divestitures, spin-offs, joint ventures, strategic investments or changes in business strategy;

<br> ● announcement of technological innovations by us or our competitors;

<br> ● the passage of legislation, changes in interpretations of laws or other regulatory events or developments affecting us;

<br> ● speculation in the press or investment community;

<br> ● changes in accounting principles;

<br> ● terrorist acts, acts of war or periods of widespread civil unrest;

<br> ● health pandemics (including COVID-19);

<br> ● changes in general market and economic conditions;

<br> ● changes or trends in our industry;

<br> ● investors' perception of our prospects; and

<br> ● adverse resolution of any new or pending litigation against us.

In the past, securities class action litigation has often been initiated against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management's

------

attention and resources and could also require us to make substantial payments to satisfy judgments or to settle or defend litigation.

***If securities or industry analysts do not publish research about our business, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research, the price and trading volume of our common shares could decline.***

The market for our common shares can depend on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. There can be no assurance that analysts will continue to cover us or provide favorable coverage. In addition, if one or more analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our share price or trading volume to decline. Moreover, if one or more analysts downgrade our common shares or change their opinion of our common shares, our share price would likely decline.

***Our future earnings and earnings per share, as reported under IFRS as issued by the IASB, could be adversely impacted by the Amazon Warrant and if Amazon exercises its right to acquire our common shares pursuant to the Amazon Warrant, it will dilute the ownership interests of our then-existing shareholders and could adversely affect the market price of our common shares.***

The Amazon Warrant increases the number of diluted shares reported, which has an effect on our fully diluted earnings per share. Further, the Amazon Warrant is presented as a liability in our audited consolidated balance sheet and is subject to fair value measurement adjustments during the periods that it is outstanding. Accordingly, future fluctuations in the fair value of the Amazon Warrant could adversely impact our results of operations. If Amazon exercises its right to acquire our common shares pursuant to the Amazon Warrant, it will dilute the ownership interests of our then-existing shareholders and reduce our earnings per share. In addition, any sales in the public market of any common shares issuable upon the exercise of the Amazon Warrant by Amazon could adversely affect the market price of our common shares.

For more information, see our audited consolidated financial statements included at the end of this annual report.

***We may not pay any dividends. Accordingly, investors may only realize future gains on their investments if the price of their common shares increases, which may never occur.***

We have never declared or paid any dividends, other than (i) a dividend declared by one of our subsidiaries during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, the remaining $1.6 million of which was paid during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, and (ii) on July 21, 2020, our board of directors approved a one-time dividend of $4.0 million to our shareholders reflecting a portion of the cash generation from the business during fiscal year 2020. We currently do not plan to declare dividends on our common shares in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business. The payment of dividends, if any, would be at the discretion of our board of directors and would depend on our results of operations, capital requirements, financial condition, prospects, contractual arrangements, any limitations on payment of dividends present in our current and future debt agreements and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. Accordingly, if our board of directors deems it appropriate not to pay any dividends, our investors may only realize future gains on their investments if the price of their common shares increases, which may never occur.

***We are an emerging growth company, and the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies may make our common shares less attractive to investors.***

We are an emerging growth company ("EGC"), as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the "JOBS Act"), and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not EGCs including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act"), reduced financial disclosure obligations, reduced disclosure obligations regarding

------

executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We may take advantage of these provisions until we are no longer an EGC. We would cease to be an EGC upon the earliest to occur of: the last day of the fiscal year in which we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenue; the date we qualify as a "large accelerated filer," with at least $700 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates; the issuance, in any three-year period, by us of more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; and the last day of the fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering. If we take advantage of any of these reduced reporting requirements in future filings, the information that we provide our security holders may be different than you might get from other public companies in which you hold equity interests. We cannot predict if investors will find our common shares less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common shares and our share price may be more volatile.

***If we are unable to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, our results of operations and the price of our common shares could be adversely affected.***

During the audit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the execution and review of complex accounting matters. Due to a failure in procedures with respect to the execution, review, supervision and monitoring of complex accounting matters, a number of adjustments were identified and made to the consolidated financial statements during the course of our audit.

Although this material weakness was determined by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to be remediated as of June 30, 2021, we cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, and actions we may take in the future, will prevent potential future material weaknesses. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm has not performed an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act because no such evaluation has been required to date. Once we no longer qualify as an EGC, the independent registered public accounting firm that audits our financial statements will also be required to audit our internal control over financial reporting. Any delays or difficulty in satisfying these requirements could adversely affect our future results of operations and the price of our shares. Moreover, it may cost us more than we expect to comply with these control- and procedure-related requirements. Failure to comply with Section 404 or to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations could potentially result in a loss in investor confidence in our reported financial information and subject us to sanctions or investigations by regulatory authorities.

If we are unable to successfully remediate any future material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, or identify any additional material weaknesses, the accuracy and timing of our financial reporting may be adversely affected, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting, and our share price may decline as a result.

***We incur increased costs and demands upon management as a result of complying with the laws and regulations affecting public companies, which could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.***

As a public company, we incur significantly greater legal, accounting and other expenses than we incurred as a private company. We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ("Dodd-Frank Act"), and Nasdaq rules and regulations. These requirements have increased and will continue to increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs and have made and will continue to make some activities more time consuming and costly.

------

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting annually and the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures quarterly. In particular, Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act ("Section 404") requires us to perform system and process evaluation and testing of our internal control over financial reporting to allow management to report on, and our independent registered public accounting firm potentially to attest to, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. As an EGC, we avail ourselves of the exemption from the requirement that our independent registered public accounting firm attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404. However, we may no longer avail ourselves of this exemption when we cease to be an EGC. When our independent registered public accounting firm is required to undertake an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, the cost of our compliance with Section 404 will correspondingly increase. Our compliance with applicable provisions of Section 404 will require that we incur substantial accounting expense and expend significant management time on compliance-related issues as we implement additional corporate governance practices and comply with reporting requirements. Moreover, if we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 applicable to us in a timely manner, or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm identify deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, the market price of our shares could decline and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.

Furthermore, investor perceptions of our company may suffer if deficiencies are found, and this could cause a decline in the market price of our common shares. Irrespective of compliance with Section 404, any failure of our internal control over financial reporting could have a material adverse effect on our stated operating results and harm our reputation. If we are unable to implement these requirements effectively or efficiently, it could harm our operations, financial reporting, or financial results and could result in an adverse opinion on our internal control from our independent registered public accounting firm.

After we are no longer an EGC, or sooner if we choose not to take advantage of certain exemptions set forth in the JOBS Act, we expect to incur significant expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404. In that regard, we will need to hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge.

***Certain U.S. holders of our common shares may suffer adverse U.S. tax consequences if we are characterized as a passive foreign investment company.***

Based on our gross income and the average value of our gross assets, and our current share price, as well as the nature of our business, we do not expect to be classified as a "passive foreign investment company," or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the current tax year or in tax years in the foreseeable future. A corporation organized outside the United States generally will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes in any taxable year in which at least 75% of its gross income is passive income or, on average, at least 50% of the gross value of its assets is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. Passive income for this purpose generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents and gains from commodities and securities transactions. Our status in any taxable year will depend on our assets and activities in each year, and because this is a factual determination made annually after the end of each taxable year, there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. The market value of our assets may be determined in large part by reference to the market price of our common shares, which is likely to fluctuate. If we were to be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. holder held our common shares, however, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could apply to the U.S. holder.

***Our executive officers, directors and principal shareholders have the ability to control all matters submitted to shareholders for approval.***

Our executive officers, directors and shareholders owning more than 5% of our outstanding common shares, which we refer to as our principal shareholders, beneficially own shares representing approximately 74% of our outstanding common shares. As a result, if some or all of these shareholders were to choose to act together, they would be able to control all matters submitted to our shareholders for approval, as well as our management and affairs. For example, these persons, if they choose to act together, would control the election of directors and approval of any merger, amalgamation, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentration of voting power could delay or prevent an acquisition of our company on terms that other shareholders may desire.

***Our largest shareholder, The Resource Group International Limited, and its major shareholder, TRG Pakistan Limited, have substantial control over us and could limit your ability to influence the outcome of key transactions, including any change of control.***

As of September 1, 2022, our largest shareholder, TRGI, beneficially owns, in the aggregate, approximately 30% of our outstanding common shares. As of June 30, 2022, TRG Pakistan Limited ("TRGP"), a publicly traded Pakistan corporation listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, beneficially owned 45% of TRGI's outstanding voting securities (with an ability to vote up to 69% of TRGI's total voting securities with the consent of the chief executive officer of TRGI). In addition, while TRGI has voting and dispositive control over its ibex shares, TRGP holds the economic interest in those shares. The members of the boards of directors of TRGP and TRGI have some overlap, and TRGP has the exclusive right to appoint three out of the seven directors at TRGI, with the remaining directors appointed jointly with or solely by other shareholders of TRGI. John Leone serves as a director of each of TRGP and TRGI and also serves as TRGI's chairman. Mohammed Khaishgi serves as a director and the chief executive officer of TRGI. Hasnain Aslam serves as a director and the chief executive officer of TRGP and also serves as a director and the chief investment officer of TRGI.

Additionally, pursuant to a stockholder's agreement, dated September 15, 2017, between TRGI and us (the "TRGI Stockholder's Agreement"), we will not take or commit to take, or cause or permit any of our subsidiaries to take, certain enumerated actions without TRGI's consent, to be withheld or given in TRGI's sole discretion. The TRGI Stockholder's Agreement will remain in effect until the date that TRGI ceases to hold 10% or more of all shares issued by us, as measured on an as-converted basis. As a result, we expect that TRGP and TRGI will be able to exert significant influence over our business. TRGP and TRGI may have interests that differ from your interests and may cause TRGI's shares in our company to be voted in a way with which you disagree and that may be adverse to your interests. The concentration of ownership of our share capital may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change of control of our company and its subsidiaries, as well as certain M&A activity and securities offerings, and could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common shares as part of a sale of our company and may adversely affect the market price of our common shares. In addition, because of the terms of our bye-laws providing rights to TRGI, as the first-in-time shareholder of 25% or more of the nominal value of our voting shares, to appoint a majority of our directors, even if we no longer qualify as a foreign private issuer, we may be able to take advantage of many of the same exemptions from the Nasdaq corporate governance rules for as long as we continue to qualify as a "controlled company" within the meaning of the Nasdaq corporate governance standards. See "As a foreign private issuer, we are not subject to certain Nasdaq corporate governance rules applicable to U.S. listed companies." Our bye-laws provide that any shareholder holding 50% or more of the nominal value of our voting shares will have the right to appoint five directors to our board of directors. If there is no such 50% holder, then any shareholder holding 25% or more of the nominal value of our voting shares (first in time as compared to any other 25% shareholder) will have the right to appoint five directors to our board of directors.

------

***A significant portion of our total outstanding shares may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of our common shares to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.***

Sales of a substantial number of our common shares in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our common shares. As of September 1, 2022, we have 18,247,999 outstanding common shares. Certain of our security holders have rights, subject to some conditions, to require us to file registration statements covering common shares that it holds or to include their shares in registration statements that we may file for ourselves or for other shareholders.

***Anti-takeover provisions in our bye-laws could make an acquisition of us, which may be beneficial to our shareholders, more difficult and may prevent attempts by our shareholders to replace or remove our current management.***

Provisions in our bye-laws may delay or prevent an acquisition of us or a change in our management. In addition, by making it more difficult for shareholders to replace members of our board of directors, these provisions also may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our shareholders to replace or remove our current management because our board of directors is responsible for appointing the members of our management team. These provisions include:

<br> ● the ability of our board of directors to determine the rights, preferences and privileges of our preferred shares and to issue the preferred shares without shareholder approval; and

● the ability of major shareholders (i.e., shareholders holding 50% or more; in the absence of such a holder, 25% or more) to appoint directors to the Board.

These provisions could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if the third party's offer may be considered beneficial by many shareholders. As a result, shareholders may be limited in their ability to obtain a premium for their shares.

**We have the ability to issue preferred shares without shareholder approval.**

Our common shares may be subordinate to classes of preferred shares issued in the future in the payment of dividends and other distributions made with respect to the common shares, including distributions upon liquidation or dissolution. Our board of directors is authorized to issue preferred shares without first obtaining shareholder approval. If we issue preferred shares, it will create additional securities that may have dividend or liquidation preferences senior to the common shares. If we issue convertible preferred shares, a subsequent conversion may dilute the current common shareholders' interest.

**ITEM 4. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY**

A. History and development of the company

**Company History**

We were incorporated by TRGI in 2017 for the purpose of delivering solutions to help the world's preeminent brands more effectively engage with their customers as a leading global customer experience ("CX") company. Prior to June 30, 2017, our business was conducted through various wholly- or majority-owned portfolio companies of TRGI, which we refer to as the Continuing Business Entities. The predecessor companies for our Customer Engagement and Customer Expansion solutions were established in 1996 and acquired by TRGI in 2004. The predecessor company for our Customer Experience solution was established in 1984 and acquired by TRGI in 2004. The predecessor company for our Customer Acquisition business was founded as a subsidiary of TRGI in 2008. On June 30, 2017, TRGI completed a series of transactions constituting the

------

Reorganization Transaction, and the Continuing Business Entities became our wholly owned direct and indirect subsidiaries.

In August 2020, we closed our initial public offering and our common shares were listed on Nasdaq.

We are an exempted company with limited liability under the laws of Bermuda, incorporated on February 28, 2017 under the name Forward March Limited. We changed our name to IBEX Limited on September 11, 2019. We maintain a registered office located at Crawford House, 50 Cedar Avenue, Hamilton HM11 Bermuda, and the telephone number for this office is (441) 295-6500. We maintain a website at http://www.ibex.co. Our website and the information accessible through it are not incorporated into this annual report.

The SEC maintains an internet site at http://www.sec.gov that contains reports, information statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.

**Emerging Growth Company**

The JOBS Act was enacted in April 2012 with the intention of encouraging capital formation in the United States and reducing the regulatory burden on newly public companies that qualify as EGCs. We are an EGC within the meaning of the JOBS Act. As an EGC, we are not required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor's attestation report on our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation-related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the chief executive officer's compensation to median employee compensation. We may take advantage of these exemptions until we are no longer an EGC.

We will remain an EGC until the earliest to occur of:

● the last day of the fiscal year in which we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenues;

● the date on which we become a "large accelerated filer" (the fiscal year-end on which at least $700 million of equity securities are held by non-affiliates as of the last day of our then-most recently completed second fiscal quarter);

● the date on which we have issued, in any three-year period, more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; and

<br> ● the last day of the fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering.

For more information see "Item 3D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Common Shares. The reduced disclosure requirements applicable to EGCs may make our common shares less attractive to investors due to certain risks related to our status as an EGC."

**Controlled Company Status**

A "controlled company" under Nasdaq corporate governance rules is defined as a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of the directors is held by an individual, group or another company. We qualify as a "controlled company" under Nasdaq rules because TRGI holds the right to appoint a majority of our board of directors pursuant to a provision in our bye-laws. We intend to rely upon the "controlled company" exception relating to the board of directors and committee independence requirements under the Nasdaq listing rules. Pursuant to this exception, we will be exempt from the rules that would otherwise require that our board of directors consist of a majority of independent directors and that our compensation committee and nominating and governance committee be composed entirely of independent directors. The "controlled company" exception does not modify the independence requirements for the audit committee, and we intend

------

to comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act and Nasdaq, which require that our audit committee have a majority of independent directors, and exclusively independent directors within one year following the effective date of our registration statement. For more information, see "Item 3D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Being Incorporated in Bermuda—As a foreign private issuer and a controlled company, we are not subject to certain Nasdaq corporate governance rules applicable to U.S. listed companies."

**Recent Developments**

***New and Expanded Facilities***

During fiscal year 2022, we opened new customer experience centers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Tegucigalpa, Honduras, and expanded facilities in our offshore and nearshore regions, which added over 3,400 seats. See "Item 5B. Liquidity and Capital Resources" for more information.

***Stock repurchase program***

In December 2021, we announced that our board of directors had authorized the repurchase of up to $20 million of the Company's common stock. During the year, we repurchased an aggregate of 227,889 shares of our common stock at an average price of $14.92 per share. See "Item 16E. Purchases of Equity Securities By the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers" for more information.

B. Business overview

**Industry Overview**

The race to transform Customer Experience (CX) business models in a rapidly evolving digital world is a critical driver of success for many companies. While the need to adapt has been a priority for companies for the past several years, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated this movement, forcing businesses to rethink how they engage and retain their customers, whose habits and lifestyles have dramatically changed. This makes CX a key factor in today's hyper-competitive economy and often the top priority for a company's executive leadership.

The concept of digital transformation begins with customer engagement. The use of digital channels increased, while the ability to leverage digital and traditional channels in an integrated fashion in order to meet ever-evolving, fluid customer needs which we refer to as "integrated omni-channel" has become critical. This brings about a need for a new type of partner, one with expertise and capabilities that can help a company analyze its CX and then deliver on creating great experiences.

We believe that having a unique and deeply engaged front line of expert customer engagement professionals to deliver exceptional CX across all delivery channels is critical for companies to successfully implement these strategies. The past labor arbitrage-only approach is obsolete and the demand for fast and flexible service is required for success in the future.

Technology and deep customer relationships are at the forefront of the leading digital-first companies. This has radically altered the market in which we operate as it has put CX front and center on our clients' list of priorities. In our experience, clients continue to look to a different breed of outsourcing partners to provide CX services for them. In particular, clients are seeking disruptive technology providers and partners to elevate their customer experiences and become their CX partners of choice.

As a result of these trends, there is a target market for CX providers of clients that are experiencing rapid growth across all markets and verticals. These companies are impacting our daily lives in many ways - how we shop, how and where we dine, how we watch our favorite shows, movies and series and how we invest our personal assets.

------

We, as a company, seek to accelerate our clients' growth through our delivery of end-to-end customer engagement solutions. Our business model centers around a customer-centric approach, where every decision made, every solution developed, and every area of investment has the customer top of mind.

We understand our role, which is to improve CX in an omni-channel world and be our clients' trusted provider in delivering a highly differentiated customer experience.

**<u>Business Overview</u>**

***We are a leading provider of customer support services that helps drive extraordinary customer experiences for many of the world's most recognized brands.***

*We* combine our strong heritage of delivering world-class CX operations delivery with best-in-class services and solutions that span omnichannel customer engagement and support, digital marketing and customer experience management to help our clients measure customer sentiment and deliver a superior CX to their end-customers.

Leveraging our proprietary Wave X purpose-built technology platform, company culture and operational excellence, we help more than 130 clients create innovative and differentiated customer experiences to increase loyalty, enhance brand awareness and drive revenue in an era of rapid change and digital transformation.

We have transformed our business from a traditional business process outsourcer (BPO) of commoditized call center support to a technology-led provider and partner of choice for high-growth brands that are digitally transforming themselves. These brands span across e-commerce, retail, FinTech, HealthTech, streaming content, ride sharing and hospitality.

In fiscal year 2016, we pivoted our strategy to place a high priority on delivering great customer experiences across the customer lifecycle and to focus on clients who view CX as a competitive differentiator. Companies are looking for enhanced solutions beyond pure labor arbitrage. They require partners that can enhance their brand and customer loyalty. Key attributes include tech-led solutions, a highly connected culture and superior level of employee engagement, elevated branding, and a fast and effective path to operational proficiency. We call this BPO 2.0, and ibex is at the forefront of delivering these differentiated solutions at scale across our geographies.

Today, our business is experiencing significant growth with clients that require best-in-class performance and differentiated value propositions.

***We are well-positioned for strong, sustainable, long-term growth.***

Our revenues have increased organically at a compounded annual growth rate ("CAGR") of 10.2%, growing from $227.4 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 (excluding any impact due to IFRS 15) to $493.6 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. This growth rate is significantly greater than that of our constituent markets, especially the BPO industry, which according to IDC, is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.6% between 2020 and 2024.

In fiscal year 2022, we won 23 additional new customers across our Blue Chip and emerging New Economy client segments, bolstering our presence as a leading provider of customer engagement BPO and technology solutions in these spaces.

------

![](ny20007283x1ex99-1_image02.jpg)

Since the start of fiscal year 2016, we have attracted more than 75 new clients, which together represented approximately $342 million of revenue during in fiscal year 2022. This resulted in a 78% revenue CAGR from fiscal year 2016 to fiscal year 2022, and 49% revenue growth from fiscal year 2021 to fiscal year 2022. These clients represented 69% of our revenues in fiscal year 2022 and we expect them to continue to grow rapidly. Additionally, approximately 70% of these clients partner with us to provide them with integrated omni-channel solutions which we believe make our relationships with them stronger and more defensible. The remaining clients are mature brands that are equally committed to delivering amazing experience through voice channels.

We are extremely proud of the diversification we have achieved in our business. As we completed fiscal year 2015 and enacted our new strategy in fiscal year 2016 and beyond, our top five clients represented 75% of our business and our top 10 represented 82% of total business. Our 25<sup>th</sup> largest client spent less than $1 million dollars with us annually.

As we completed fiscal year 2022, these numbers vastly improved. During fiscal year 2022, our top five clients represented 39% of our business, and our top 10 clients represented 57% of total business. Our 25<sup>th</sup> largest client spent almost five times the amount it did in fiscal year 2015.

------

The following table demonstrates how impactful our strategy shift has been:

![](ny20007283x1ex99-1_image03.jpg)

***Our growth strategy is predicated on four growth pillars. Together, they serve as the catalyst for delivering business solutions that help our clients as they tackle their toughest business challenges, while providing differentiated and real-time experiences for their end-customers.***

The foundation of our success is based on four primary growth pillars: (1) the ability to harness **innovative technology** that creates increased efficiencies for our business and our clients' business (2) our strong track record of delivering **best-in-class operations** (3) a **high-performing company culture** that breeds expertise and real-world knowledge amongst a very talented employee base and (4) a **customer-devoted mentality** that breeds loyalty and long-term relationships. This loyalty is evidenced by the extended relationships we have with our customers.

***Our broad portfolio of CX services and technology solutions give our clients a competitive advantage, while also providing them with the ability to deliver a relevant and differentiating experience for their customers.***

We partner with companies ranging from large Fortune 100 companies to young, emerging brands to drive their customer engagement in ways that will revolutionize the way consumers connect and invest in their brands of choice harnessing the power of technology.

Wave X is the hub of technology development and innovation at ibex. The Wave X platform powers enhanced agent interactions, exceptional client CX, and overall better performance.

Wave X is a differentiated suite of digital and technology solutions across the agent lifecycle to ensure our agents are best equipped to delight customers across all phases of the customer lifecycle, and multiple channels, customized to a client's specific need. This capability allows us to provide innovative, automated and customizable solutions to our clients more efficiently versus a pure labor arbitrage-based delivery model. We believe these technologies will enable us to outperform our competition.

------

***Our strategy places our clients at the heart of everything we do and is built on providing world-class operations and CX delivery capabilities that enable differentiating and relevant customer engagement.***

Our global delivery model is built on onshore, nearshore and offshore customer experience delivery centers, which includes a unique ability to support work-at-home capabilities in any region.

In the last three fiscal years, we have experienced nearly 125% growth in nearshore/offshore capacity while shrinking our domestic capacity by more than 20%. As of June 30, 2022, 77% of our capacity resides in our high-growth offshore and nearshore markets.

***Nearly 90% of our capacity today resides in our high margin regions.***

We operate state-of-the-art CX delivery centers in labor markets that we believe are underpenetrated. This helps us maintain our competitive advantage, retain our position in those labor markets as an employer of choice, and deliver a highly scalable and cost-effective solution to our clients. These delivery centers enable us to create a differentiated connection to our clients' brands and customers.

In addition, with a broad network of 34 contact centers spread across multiple geographies, we provide much needed geographic diversity for our clients. In particular, significant investments made in nearshore sites, such as Jamaica, Honduras, and Nicaragua, enable us to offer untapped talent pools for high-quality service, operations with a close proximity to our professionals' homes, competitive price points, and an existing brand affinity. Moving forward, we are laser focused on growing our brand and market presence worldwide.

***We deploy a customer-centric, employee driven culture which enables our workforce to do their best work on behalf of our clients.***

We believe that we have one of the best cultures in the industry. As a testament to our culture, a meaningful portion of our workforce is made up of family, friends and colleagues who were referred to us by our employees. Our culture is distinctive – built by and for the individuals that represent our clients' brands with each and every contact. Our commitment to those individuals exceeds anything in our industry, as evidenced by our unprecedented employee Net Promoter Score (ENPS) of 71.

At the foundation of our culture are three primary principals:

1. **Be the best employer in the markets we serve** – We provide our employees with immediate opportunities for growth. Day one begins with a view of what is possible at ibex including leadership development and job advancement and our commitment to enriching our employees' lives. We enable our employees to craft a path for their future early in their tenure with ibex.

2. **Employee first culture** – Our employees are the lifeblood of our organization. From the tools they use every day to interact with our customers to the services we provide to improve their lives, we put our workforce first in all that we do. Our ability to recruit, engage, motivate and retain is evidenced in the top quadrant performance we deliver to our clients. We are committed to supporting a diverse and inclusive workforce through the entire organization.

3. **Highly immersive engagement** –Our culture can be seen and felt from the minute you enter one of our centers. From our modern, highly customized and branded sites to our unique celebrations for our frontline talent around the globe, our employee engagement is a key driver of the high agent retention we see across our delivery centers.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, we invested millions of dollars in employee health, safety and wellness programs to help identify, slow and stop the spread of the Pandemic in our facilities. These investments included transportation for our employees to and from our facilities, high-grade disinfection of our CX delivery centers, appropriate social distancing measures, technology investment to contract trace and curb spread, and

------

company-paid vaccinations. We believe this investment in our employees underscores our commitment to our workforce and builds loyalty to our clients and our personnel.

Our ongoing development and interest in our people and our culture is what fuels our growth. Our employees are extremely loyal to ibex and are proud to be part of ibex. The investment in our people does not end with our physical locations but transcends into the lives of our workforce.

Our people are at the center of our long-term success and growth-strategy, and we will continue to nurture, enhance, and expand our diversity and values-driven culture. Combining the passion, energy and talents of our global employee base and harnessing that into an industry leading company is at the heart of what we do. The result is performance at the highest levels for our clients that delivers an exceptional CX while accelerating growth and diversification for our business.

***We utilize a differentiated value proposition to support our clients and drive value.***

We place the customer at the core of our business strategy and deliver world-class CX capabilities, operational delivery excellence, efficiency, and reliability to enhance our clients' success.

We have generated a high level of client satisfaction and loyalty that had fueled our new customer growth and client retention*.*** Our ability to build deep and trusted relationships with our clients is an integral part of our culture.

Additionally, we closely monitor customer satisfaction via net promoter score ("NPS") which is tracked through our annual Client Satisfaction Survey. Our most recent survey scored a NPS of 68 which indicates strong, mutually-beneficial relationships with clients built on the value they place in ibex services and solutions along with the level of service consistently being delivered.

**<u>Our Strategic Approach</u>**

Our approach focuses on high growth clients that are experiencing increased demand for their products and services. In addition, we serve companies that are transforming their CX to a digital-first model. These target clients are looking for partners that can deliver an amazing experience to their customers, while enhancing their brand and customer loyalty, at scale.

The services we provide for these clients are digital and traditional omni-channel capabilities. Our digital services have significantly less agent attrition than traditional BPO programs. Agent attrition is a key cost and performance component where low attrition drives higher margins and better performance for ibex and our clients.

Often these digital services are provided in our high-margin Philippines and Nearshore regions. Our model of winning high-growth, digitally-focused clients has contributed to the growth of our highest margin services in our highest margin regions.

**<u>Our Competitive Strengths and Differentiators</u>**

As evidenced by the quality and quantity of our new customer wins, growth and market share with these clients and our track record of amazing customer retention with no customer losses, has clearly established ourselves as a CX leader in today's digital economy. We do this through leveraging our key competitive strengths:

● *Differentiated as a Nimble, Disruptive Provider* - Companies continue to seek disruptive partners that are fast and flexible. We believe that we have a distinct organizational culture that embraces technological disruption and is characterized by innovation, speed and structural nimbleness. Our innovative and

------

entrepreneurial culture is a key differentiator and gives us a competitive advantage in delivering high-quality solutions to clients around the globe.

● *Wave X Technology Solutions to drive performance and innovation –* ibex Wave X is the hub of our technology development and innovation effort to drive value-added solutions for improved agent interactions, client CX, and overall performance. Wave X is a platform that spans the customer and agent lifecycle leveraging artificial intelligence into each stage of the customer lifecycle, from customer acquisition, to engagement, to surveys and analytics. Our proprietary technology, combined with our Wave Zero launch process enables us to accelerate "Speed to Green" for our clients and outperform our competition.

● *Best Brand and employer in the markets we operate –* Our goal is to be the best employer which helps create a virtuous cycle of the ability to attract and retain the best leadership and front-line agents. This in turn creates great performance that drives growth and expansion and expanded career opportunities for our personnel. The result is not only being recognized by the Great Places to Work award and Great Places to Work for Women awards, but also by scoring at industry leading scores for employee Net Promoter in markets like Jamaica, Nicaragua and Bohol, Philippines where we are now the largest BPO provider.

● *Broad set of full lifecycle Digital Services* –The services we provide for our clients include three key services – Digital & Omni-Channel Customer Experience (ibex Connect), Digital Marketing and E-Commerce (ibex Digital) and Digital CX surveys and analytics (ibex CX). This contrasts to many of our traditional competitors that are focused solely on contact center services only.

● *World-Class Global Delivery with significant growth in Nearshore & Offshore regions* – Our global delivery model is built on onshore, nearshore and offshore delivery centers, and includes our ability to also support work-at-home capabilities. We seek to operate state-of-the-art 'highly-branded' sites in labor markets that are underpenetrated in order to maintain our competitive advantage, retain our position in those labor markets as an employer of choice and deliver a highly scalable and cost-effective solution to our clients.

Our CX delivery centers enable us to create a differentiated connection to our clients' brands and their customers. In addition, with a broad growing network of 34 CX delivery centers spread across multiple geographies, we provide much needed geographic diversity for our clients. In particular, significant investments made in nearshore sites, such as Jamaica, Honduras, and Nicaragua, enable us to offer untapped talent pools for high-quality service, proximity to home operations, competitive price points, and an existing brand affinity. In the last three fiscal years, we have experienced nearly 125% growth in nearshore/offshore capacity while shrinking our domestic capacity by more than 20%. As of June 30, 2022, 77% of our capacity resides in our high growth offshore and nearshore markets.

● *Great Operational performance that leads to high Client Satisfaction and Retention* – Our ability to build deep and trusted relationships with our clients is core to who we are. Since the end of our fiscal year 2018, we have successfully retained 95% of our top 20 clients, which represented approximately 95% of our revenue in fiscal year 2018.

**<u>Our Growth Strategy</u>**

Our goal is to grow our position as a key strategic partner to leading digital-first clients that require outsourced customer engagement solutions, especially as they look to deliver amazing customer experiences to digitally native customers.

Since 2016 we have transformed our business from a traditional BPO providing commoditized call center support to a leading tech-led provider and partner of choice for the digital economy. Revenues from new clients won since fiscal year 2016 are approximately $342 million and have increased at a 78% CAGR and an increase of 49% from fiscal year 2021 to fiscal year 2022. Most of this growth is delivered out of our highly profitable nearshore and offshore regions. As of June 30, 2022, these regions represented 77% of our total seats.

------

Our growth model is designed to deploy a "land and expand" approach where we win a client, outperform and subsequently enhance the partnership scope with these clients. The breadth of our capabilities, our ability to deliver a superior experience to our clients and our global delivery capabilities have allowed us to successfully land new clients and then expand our wallet share with them over time.

Our Wave Zero launch model has become a competitive advantage for ibex in our land and expand approach. The result is a faster path to delivering results in the early stages of production resulting in a great position to expand quickly. This is evidenced by the revenues in year two and three of our client relationships increasing 2.0x to 3.5x of year one revenues.

The following table illustrates the success we have had with our new customer engine and our land and expand strategy since fiscal year 2016, as well as the acceleration of our new customer sales engine.

![](ny20007283x1ex99-1_image04.jpg)

Moving forward, our strategy for continued growth is based on the following key components:

● *Continue Winning Digital-First Blue Chip Clients – We* have been able to win marquee blue-chip brands that are looking to transform their customer engagement strategy through a more innovative and outcome-oriented focus. For these customers, our value proposition is primarily focused on acting as a partner to drive digital transformation in their existing operations. The imperative of digital engagement with a new type of consumer is even more urgent as these companies increasingly face-off against emerging, new economy companies. We have increasingly gained share in these relationships, often displacing existing incumbent providers.

● *Continue Winning the Leaders of the New Economy* – Our New Economy initiative combines our customer engagement, customer acquisition and CX capabilities into an integrated solution set that is focused on the needs of high-growth emerging technology markets. Our success in our New Economy vertical can be traced to its inception in 2016, when we began servicing a new client in the emerging technology space. We launched our New Economy initiative to help similar clients attain and support their high-growth

------

objectives. New Economy customers are serviced out of our Philippines and nearshore regions, often with more digital support versus traditional voice support, producing generally higher margins.

● *Invest into and Grow our Strategic FinTech and HealthTech Verticals –We* have identified the FinTech and HealthTech industries as high-growth verticals with rapidly expanding digital CX needs. Within our FinTech practice, we intend to build on recent wins we have had with leading digital trading apps and crypto currency wallets. In HealthTech, we see significant opportunity to provide enhanced patient experience, revenue cycle management as well as medical coding and billing services.

● *Expand Service & Lines of Business with Current Clients* – The breadth of our solutions over the full customer lifecycle creates the ability to cross-sell each solution throughout our client base. Our client base has many large, global brands that have multiple lines of business across multiple geographies. Our typical model is to launch in one center with one service such as customer engagement. Our goal is then to "expand" with additional services or new geographies where we operate for our clients. We believe that the success of our initial launches has enabled our client teams to broaden our scope of engagement with these clients to include additional solutions within our suite of offerings.

● *Pursue strategic acquisitions* – Our acquisition strategy targets situations in which it is optimal to acquire versus build. It will primarily be focused on adding additional omni-channel capabilities, providing access to new geographies and acquiring technologies that further differentiate our solutions.

By offering technology-enabled customer interactions solutions and focusing on our strategies for growth, we believe we are well positioned to compete effectively in the customer engagement marketplace, continue to increase market share and capitalize on market growth.

------

Our vertical industry expertise in retail, e-commerce, emerging technology, HealthTech, FinTech and other high-growth areas allows us to adapt our services and solutions for clients, further embedding us into their customer engagement lifecycle while delivering impactful business results.

Our services cover three areas: Digital & Omni-Channel Customer Experience (ibex Connect), Digital Marketing and E-Commerce (ibex Digital) and Digital CX surveys and analytics (ibex CX):

***ibex Connect***

Our Connect business lies at the core of our offerings and generates the majority of the company's revenue. This business unit delivers differentiated customer service (assisting our clients' customers with information about our clients' and their products or services), technical support (providing specialized teams to provide information, assistance and technical guidance to our clients' customers on a specific product or service), revenue generation (upselling and cross selling) and other value-added outsourced back office services (finance and accounting, marketing support, sales operations, and human resources administration) to our clients. We deploy these capabilities through a true omni-channel CX model, which integrates voice, email, chat, SMS, social media and other communication applications.

***ibex Digital***

Our ibex Digital suite of solutions works with consumer-facing businesses to help them build, grow and scale technology-driven customer acquisition solutions, while helping drive digital transformation. We offer digital marketing, e-commerce technology, and platform solutions for some of the largest and fastest growing brands, helping them build new customer acquisition channels, increase acquired customers, and often do both at a reduced cost.

***ibex CX***

Our CX business measures, monitors and manages our clients' wholistic customer experiences. By offering a 360-degree CX approach, our clients harness the power of the data and customer feedback to differentiate themselves within today's "customer expectation economy." We enable our clients to improve retention of their customers, identify and manage service issues in real time, predict future behavior and outcomes, derive impact analysis scenarios and assign "action plans" throughout the enterprise.

**<u>Our Technology</u>**

***The foundation for ibex service offerings is our WaveX technology platform, a differentiating set of proprietary purpose-built solutions across the customer and agent lifecycle that drive performance, speed to green and customer satisfaction.***

Our technology helps clients drive insights and manage interactions across their entire customer journey.

We have invested significant resources into building and deploying proprietary technology, focusing on next-generation software deployed across the full customer lifecycle journey, driving revenue growth, productivity improvements, experience enhancement and competitive differentiation.

**<u>Our Flexible Operating Delivery Model</u>**

Companies seeking CX partners base their decisions in large part on the ability to provide a flexible, turnkey delivery model that offers a mix of onshore, nearshore, offshore and remote working capabilities. In the face of recent global events, companies need providers with the ability to shift their delivery rapidly between various location models.

***Our global delivery model operates onshore, nearshore and offshore CX delivery centers, coupled with the ability to support work-at-home capabilities.***

------

We operate state-of-the-art CX delivery centers in labor markets that are underpenetrated. This gives us a competitive advantage, retains our position in those labor markets as an employer of choice and delivers a highly scalable and cost-effective solution to our clients.

Our CX delivery centers enable us to create an environment where our customer service employees are highly immersed in our clients' brands, further promoting our customer-obsessed culture.

With a broad and growing global network of 34 CX delivery centers, we provide geographic diversity for our clients. Our significant investments in nearshore sites such as Jamaica, Honduras, and Nicaragua enable us to offer untapped talent pools capable of delivering superior CX at competitive price points, and in many cases, an existing brand affinity.

![](ny20007283x1ex99-1_image05.jpg)

We have become the largest BPO employer in Jamaica and Nicaragua with over 6,200 and 2,700 employees, respectively. In addition, we've become the largest provider and first mover in Bohol, Philippines, where we have over 1,900 employees. In fact, we are rated the number one digital CX outsourcer in each of those countries. We are also the largest BPO employer in Pakistan, which is a truly disruptive market for the industry.

We operate in the following geographies for our service offerings:

*Customer Engagement*

We operate 34 CX delivery centers located in the United States, the Philippines, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Honduras, Senegal and the United Kingdom. As of June 30, 2022, we have approximately 24,000 agents across these centers.

*Customer Acquisition*

We operate four acquisition-focused Centers of Excellence, one in Jamaica, one in the Philippines, and two in Pakistan, which are focused on customer acquisition on behalf of our clients. As of June 30, 2022, the number of agents dedicated to customer acquisition was more than 230.

------

*Customer Experience Technology Solutions*

We deliver our CX technology solutions to our clients primarily through a cloud-based delivery model. Our Analytics solution is an add-on solution, which includes technology such as omni-channel speech analytics utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) along with business analysts who provide various insights.

***Our footprint is a strategic advantage, blending our site strategies for our clients between the Philippines, nearshore markets (Jamaica, Nicaragua and Honduras), and in a disruptive market like Pakistan.***

This provides our clients with a balance of quality, cost and BCP (Business Continuity Plan) having their business placed with us across multiple regions. Of our largest 25 clients, we service 21 across multiple regions creating great market diversification and BCP. We also believe that providing services for our clients across multiple regions is a proxy for a partner oriented trusted relationship and is consistent with our "land and expand" client strategy.

**<u>Key Market Opportunities</u>**

The estimated total current addressable market for ibex is well over $100 billion, and is comprised of the following areas of opportunity:

● **Customer Engagement** - The largest portion of ibex's addressable market is the customer care segment within the BPO industry, which makes up the largest portion of the company's revenue. Grand View Research estimates that the global business process outsourcing industry was valued at $245.9 billion in 2021 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 9.1% from 2022 to 2030. According to International Data Corporation ("IDC"), a leading information technology research firm, the customer care segment is the largest horizontal market in the BPO industry, with approximately $77 billion of revenues in 2020 and expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.6% to $88.6 billion in revenues by 2024. IDC forecasts customer care BPO spend in the United States to grow to $51.6 billion by 2024.

● **Customer Acquisition** - ibex Digital is enabled primarily by digital marketing which is one of the fastest growing segments of the media advertising industry. According to Statista.com, a leading market research company, it is projected that digital advertising expenditures in the United States will increase by more than 100 percent between 2019 and 2024. In that five year period, United States digital ad spend will grow from $132.46 to $278.53 billion. A significant portion of this fast-growing market consists of outsourced customer acquisition specialists, who have primarily adopted a pay-for-performance business model in which advertisers only compensate marketers once a target consumer has taken a particular action, such as filling out an information form or completing a purchase of a product or service.

● **CX Experience Management and Analytics** - With unprecedented access to technology, data and choices, consumers have elevated expectations about being heard, as well as how companies act and respond in real time. As consumers gravitate toward digital channels (websites, mobile and social media), enterprises are seeking more technologically advanced solutions to collect data in real time and harness insights yielded by advanced analytics performed on those data to provide customized customer experiences. Markets and Markets, a leading B2B market research firm, forecasts that the global customer experience management market will grow at a 12.3% CAGR, from $9.5 billion in 2021 to $16.9 billion in 2026. Similarly, Market Research Future estimates that the global market for customer experience analytics will increase to $36.2 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 16.4%.

**<u>Key Market Trends</u>**

Several trends are driving growth and transformation in the outsourced customer interactions market. Historically, the industry was premised on labor arbitrage and cost. Offshoring of work to markets like India and the Philippines was driven primarily by the cost advantages those markets provided.

------

***The outsourced industry is undergoing a paradigm shift with blue chip clients pivoting toward technology-enabled marketplaces supporting an increasingly digitally native consumer base. This represents a key area for ibex to continue to capture market share.***

Companies are reacting to this shifting landscape with a relentless focus on CX. They view their customer contact center providers as essential partners and an extension of their brand rather than a cost center to manage customer interaction. As a result, they are often moving away from their incumbent legacy providers looking for differentiation and simply better customer support. They are not just looking for labor to manage contacts, but rather they are looking for great customer experiences.

In addition to clients in mature industries, emerging industries in the technology and consumer services sectors are changing the mix of solutions, channels and delivery locations. We believe that participants that offer a flexible, technology-oriented, and integrated solution will be best positioned to address the following key industry trends:

● *A Dramatic Prioritization of CX – As* brands recognize that digital feedback mechanisms, such as social media, can rapidly impact brand perception in a positive or negative manner, the importance of delivering an exceptional customer experience has become a top priority for companies.

● *Consumer Centricity & Customer Lifetime Value (LTV)* – Customer expectations and behaviors are changing dramatically. Enabled by immediate feedback channels, consumers expect that enterprises will meet their needs and preferences instantaneously in return for brand loyalty and greater share of customer spend. Accordingly, enterprises and brands are more focused on understanding their consumers' needs and developing business models that hinge on maximizing customer lifetime value. In turn, they are demanding outsourced customer engagement partners that can deliver customer-centric solutions in an omni-channel manner that maximizes customer retention.

● *Outsourcing Across the Operational Value Chain* – Enterprises are more frequently relying on outsourced providers to address their needs across the entire customer lifecycle. Many companies, especially in the HealthTech, FinTech and utilities space, are beginning to increasingly rely on the expertise of external providers to deliver cost savings, ensure compliance, drive performance enhancements, and offer technology suites that serve to improve overall CX while allowing the brand to focus on their core products and competencies. Mature companies seek to digitally transform their current operations to meet the demands of the digital economy and diversify their capabilities. Companies in emerging sectors outsource due to their limited experience and/or resources to manage increasing volumes of customer interactions, and in order to drive new customer demand, scale operations, optimize costs, protect their brand investment, and accelerate profitability.

● *Rise of Omni-Channel to Drive Consumer Centricity* – Customer expectations and behaviors are changing dramatically with the evolution of technology such as smart phones, tablets and social media. This has accelerated the speed of consumer interaction with brands. Consumers expect the brands to meet their needs and preferences instantaneously in return for brand loyalty and a greater share of customer spend. To address this trend, brands are focused on providing a seamless experience via integration of all contact channels (chat, email, SMS, voice, etc.) to deliver customer-centric solutions in an omni-channel manner that maximize customer lifetime value.

● *Seeking Integrated End-to-End Partners* – We believe clients are increasingly looking to utilize outsourcing partners who can provide unified solutions for a variety of touchpoints along the customer interaction value chain, from digital marketing to customer sales and support to CX and surveys. Providers with integrated offerings will command a larger share of wallet from their clients, drive a great degree of insight and performance; this ultimately drives a longer term, mutually beneficial partnership.

<br> ● *Bestshore Flexible Delivery Model* – Clients are increasingly choosing providers based on their ability to provide a flexible, turnkey delivery model that can offer a mix of onshore, nearshore, offshore, and remote

------

working capabilities. However, in today's industry, clients are looking for the best provider in the market that they are considering, as opposed to one provider across all geographies. With recent global events, clients have indicated a heightened importance on the ability of providers to shift their delivery rapidly between various location models.

● *Data Protection & Security* – With the rise of the digital economy has come a rise in both the concern toward, and vulnerability of, consumer data. Both mature and new economy brands are placing a higher degree of focus on the technology that underpins the data security and fraud systems deployed by their partners; having an advanced and secure system architecture along with data center redundancy and advanced security technologies are becoming increasingly important, understanding that any security breach can result in a devastating impact to a client's brand and a consumer's loyalty.

● *Data and Analytics* – Enterprises are increasingly demanding that their providers of customer interaction solutions integrate data analysis and insight into their core service offerings, to drive continuous performance and superior outcomes. These business intelligence tools can yield actionable insights across every customer touchpoint enabling clients to address customer issues in real time. We expect that investments in automation, digitization and machine learning will become key drivers in the industry as clients seek to adopt more technology-rich ways of servicing their customers.

<br> ● *Artificial Intelligence to Enhance Service Delivery* – With the increasing applicability of AI in enhancing business processes, the customer care industry is starting to integrate AI into its range of solutions.

● *Integrated Technology Solutions for Mature Sectors –* Fortune 500 companies that historically utilized traditional live-agent, voice-based services are now integrating new technology-enabled solutions that include multi-channel delivery, self-serve options and automation. Such solutions allow them to achieve greater operational flexibility and innovate their service offerings.

● *Solutions Catered to High-Growth Sectors* – The challenges that new economy "disruptors" consist of managing high growth within their customer base, while simultaneously maintaining a high-quality customer experience. In contrast to mature business models, new economy companies have generally not focused on developing large-scale insourced customer operations; therefore, they rely on external partners that can deliver customer service, engagement and support while maintaining the quality of their brands. Most of these companies source their customer interaction needs from lower-cost locations outside their home markets.

**Our Clients**

As of June 30, 2022, we had over 130 clients. Our clients fit primarily within two categories. The first category is made up of mostly Fortune 500 brands, across a broad range of industries, such as telecommunications, cable, financial services, and healthcare, which have large customer bases and rely on outsourced providers to maximize customer retention and improve customer expansion. We refer to these clients as "blue chip" companies. Increasingly, clients in this category look to us as a nimble provider offering differentiated services as they face challenges in the wake of digital disruption. We apply our execution expertise and end-to-end CLX technology suite to enable these clients to adapt in a changing environment that requires a different type of customer experience for digital-native consumers. The second category of clients we serve are digitally-driven "disruptors." We refer to these clients as the "New Economy" companies. They tend to be faster-growing brands in high-growth industry verticals, such as (but not limited to) technology, e-commerce and consumer services. Our New Economy business is designed to meet these needs for new economy verticals and high-growth requirements, with a focus on launch, speed-to-performance and scale. While many of these New Economy

------

clients are smaller, fast growing companies, there are several Fortune 500 companies within that group, such as Amazon and one of the leading ride-sharing companies in the United States. The success of our New Economy initiative with high-growth technology, e-commerce and consumer services clients is a key driver in the increase of our revenue from non-voice channels, and, as a result, has a positive effect on our profitability. While most other client verticals operate under economics typical of the outsourced customer care industry, the success of our New Economy business vertical is a result of differentiating factors such as its growth trajectory, its contribution to profitability and the greater propensity for these clients to leverage digital forms of service delivery. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, we derived approximately 37% of our consolidated revenue from our New Economy clients.

Our contracts with clients generally take the form of a master services agreement, which is a framework agreement that is then supplemented by one or more statements of work. Our master services agreements specify the general terms applicable to the services we provide. Our statements of work specify the specific services to be provided and associated performance metrics and pricing.

We are focused on building deep relationships at multiple levels within our clients' businesses. Coupled with our ability to consistently perform at or above expectations, this has enabled us to expand the number of high value CLX solutions we provide for our clients. This approach, over time, has led to higher client retention rates.

**Sales and Marketing**

Our sales and marketing teams work closely together to drive awareness and adoption of our CLX platform, accelerate customer acquisition and expand the relationship with our existing customers. We focus on developing long-term relationships with large strategic clients that have needs across the entire CLX lifecycle and employ a "land and expand" strategy to grow these relationships. Under this strategy, we seek to build the client's trust through flawless execution on the initial assignment (which is typically for a single solution or geography) and then expand the scope of our engagement with the client into multiple geographies and business lines, which allows us to offer additional CLX solutions. In this manner, the "land and expand" strategy provides opportunities for us to substantially increase our revenues within our existing client base over time.

Our sales and marketing activities are focused on our key market verticals: telecommunications and cable, technology, retail, emerging and high-growth technology, healthcare, financial services and utilities. We have market heads of our key verticals, including a market head over our New Economy business vertical. We believe our vertical market focus allows us to provide deep domain expertise and positions us as the best partner to help solve our clients' unique needs. An essential part of our sales strategy is to focus on ways we can innovate on behalf of our clients, which includes digitization strategies and usage of data, technology, analytics and insights. We are well positioned with the top brands in each of the industry verticals in which we operate and can leverage domain knowledge and strong client references to generate business with other companies in the same industry vertical.

New Logos

Our new logo organization is made up of teams focused on our key market verticals. Each team is focused solely on penetrating and closing business with the top 40 clients in each vertical. In addition, they will often partner with our client services executives who have an intimate understanding of the client's business and needs, to actively identify and target additional cross-sell opportunities across the entire CLX lifecycle.

New Economy

The New Economy team is focused on penetrating a broader reach of unicorn and potential unicorn clients in the emerging technology and consumer services sector. Through our New Economy offering, we combine Customer Engagement, Customer Acquisition and Customer Experience into an integrated solution set that is focused on the high-growth technology, e-commerce and consumer services markets for new economy clients.

------

The sales process for a new client can be short or lengthy depending on the client. Generally, the sales process for our New Economy target clients is 30-60 days, while selling to larger blue-chip clients can range as long as 18 months.

Client Services Organization

Our client services organization is dedicated to maintaining and expanding our relationships with our existing clients and is made up of teams that are organized either around a single large client or around groups of clients that collectively provide scale to warrant the investment of client services overhead. A majority of the senior leadership of the client services organization is located in the United States and is supported by local team members located closer to the actual service delivery, sometimes in other countries / regions. The members of our client services organization typically have deep operational experience as well as strong relationship-building and selling skills. Often our client services team for an account has a team member located close to the client's premises in the United States as well as a member that is located close to where the delivery takes place, which is now increasingly in offshore and nearshore locations. Most of the new opportunities created within the embedded base of existing clients are led by the senior leadership of the client services organization and follow the same general sales process as the new logo organization.

As part of our highly engaged, or "leaned in" corporate culture, our client relationships are set up at multiple levels and layers, all the way from our chief executive officer through the business heads of our organization. The multi-layered nature of these relationships allows us to develop even stronger client engagements.

Marketing Efforts

Our marketing efforts are focused on generating awareness of our offerings, establishing and promoting our brand, reaching and serving the CLX needs of key decision makers in our target verticals, and cultivating a community of successful and vocal customers. We focus our marketing effort on demonstrating to our prospects our thought leadership in the CLX market, addressing the challenges facing enterprises across the full CLX lifecycle, and engaging business leaders who are seeking to leverage data, technology, analytics, and insights to drive competitive differentiation. We take a targeted approach and work with enterprises across our target verticals: telecommunications, technology, cable / broadband, high-growth technology, healthcare and financial services. We engage with key decision makers outside of RFP cycles in the following key offices: Chief Digital Officer, Chief Information Officer, Chief Experience Officer, Chief Customer Officer and the Chief Marketing Officer.

We also use various social media platforms such as LinkedIn and Facebook to promote our brand externally to target clients and internally to our employees and prospective employees, with the latter being a key component of our success in achieving award winning agent engagement.

**Competition**

The BPO markets in which we compete are highly fragmented. We believe this creates significant opportunity for a broad and differentiated provider like us. Although we do not believe any single competitor currently offers a directly comparable end-to-end CLX solution, we believe our integrated platform faces competition from a variety of companies which operate in distinct segments of the customer lifecycle journey. Based on our industry knowledge, traditional BPO companies are seeking to respond to these dynamics by taking steps to evolve into fully-fledged end-to-end customer lifecycle experience platforms, including through acquisitions. However, such initiatives have been limited due to the scarcity of actionable at-scale assets.

We also face competition from in-house customer service departments, which seek to develop, deploy and service applications that offer functionality similar to our solutions. These in-house customer service departments continue to constitute the largest segment of customer lifecycle management expenditures.

We believe that the most significant competitive factor in the sale of outsourced customer engagement services

------

is the ability of providers to act as partners to and extensions of clients' brands, in an effort to deliver improved customers experience and increased overall customer LTV. Other important factors include maintaining high and consistent levels of service quality, tailored value-added service offerings, supported by advanced technological capabilities, industry and domain expertise, an understanding of the digital marketplace and modern consumer, sufficient diversified global delivery coverage, reliability, scalability, security and competitive pricing.

**Intellectual Property**

The success of our business depends, in part, on our proprietary technology and intellectual property. We rely on a combination of intellectual property laws and contractual arrangements to protect our intellectual property.

We have registered or are registering various trademarks and service marks in the U.S. and/or other countries, including: Clearview (U.S. Reg. No. 5230123), IBEX Global (U.S. Reg. Nos. 4596647, 4424863, and 4588731), and IBEX (U.S. Reg. No. 6062663). The duration of trademark and service mark registrations varies from country to country but may generally be renewed indefinitely as long as the marks are in use and their registrations are properly maintained. We also have common law rights to certain trademarks and service marks.

We also have and maintain certain trade secrets arising out of the authorship or creation of proprietary computer programs, systems and business practices. Confidentiality is maintained primarily through contractual clauses, and in the case of computer programs, system access controls, tracking and authorization processes.

**Privacy, Data Protection, and Cybersecurity Overview**

We use, collect, store, transmit, transfer, and process customer data in the ordinary course of business. As our products are designed to assist business customers with customer support services, in the ordinary course of business, when providing its services, only a portion of the customer data that we use, collect, store, transmit, transfer and process constitutes personal data, personally identifiable information, personal information, or similar term (collectively herein "personal information"). In the course of providing our services, we obtain personal information in the form of business contact information of our customers, suppliers, customers, prospects, and other persons. We also obtain personal information from employees, contractors, applicants, whether current, former, or prospective and, as applicable, family members or designees. We also may obtain personal information about our customers' end users. Certain personal information that we collect and/or process from any of these persons, including from our customers about their end users, may include information that is considered "special" or "sensitive" data under applicable law.

We are required to comply with local, state, federal, and foreign laws and regulations pertaining to the collection, storage, transmission, transferring, processing, and security of personal information. Regulators around the globe, and in countries in which we operate, have promulgated and are continuing to adopt laws, implementing regulations, and guidance pertaining to the collection, storage, transmission, transferring, processing, and security of personal information. The applicability of these laws, regulations, and guidance is continually evolving, sometimes uncertain, and in some circumstances, conflicting between and among jurisdictions. Although certain of these laws are not applicable to business contact information or employee data, these laws still remain pertinent to our operations. Further, regulators are continuing to propose and adopt new laws designed to safeguard personal information and to provide additional rights to data subjects. We anticipate that the volume and scope of such laws will increase, and, as a result, our costs and efforts to comply with such laws will increase. It may be costly to implement security or other measures designed to comply with these laws. Any actual or perceived failure to safeguard personal information or other information in our possession or control, appropriately destroy or redact such data, or otherwise comply with these regulations may subject us to litigation, regulatory investigations, or enforcement actions, thus causing damage to our reputation and adversely affect our ability to attract or retain customers.

------

**Regulation**

We are subject to a number of U.S. federal and state and foreign laws and regulations that involve matters central to our business. These laws and regulations may involve privacy, data protection, intellectual property, competition, consumer protection, export taxation and other subjects. Many of the laws and regulations to which we are subject are still evolving and being tested in courts and could be interpreted in ways that could harm our business. In addition, the terms of our service contracts typically require that we comply with applicable laws and regulations. In some of our service contracts, we are contractually required to comply even if such laws and regulations apply to our clients, but not to us, and sometimes our clients require us to take specific steps intended to make it easier for our clients to comply with requirements that are applicable to them. If we fail to comply with any applicable laws and regulations, we may be restricted in our ability to provide services and may also be the subject of civil or criminal actions involving penalties, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our operations. Our clients generally have the right to terminate our contracts for cause in the event of regulatory failures, subject to notice periods. See "Item 3D. Risk Factors" for more information.

*Certain Bermuda Law Considerations*

As a Bermuda company, we are also subject to regulation in Bermuda. Among other things, we must comply with the provisions of the Companies Act regulating the declaration and payment of dividends and the making of distributions from contributed surplus.

We are classified as a non-resident of Bermuda for exchange control purposes by the Bermuda Monetary Authority, ("BMA") . Pursuant to our non-resident status, we may engage in transactions in currencies other than Bermuda dollars. There are no restrictions on our ability to transfer funds in and out of Bermuda or to pay dividends to United States residents that are holders of our common shares.

Under Bermuda law, "exempted" companies are companies formed for the purpose of conducting business outside Bermuda. As an exempted company, we may not, without a license granted by the Minister of Economic Development, participate in certain business transactions, including transactions involving Bermuda landholding rights and the carrying on of business of any kind, for which we are not licensed in Bermuda.

On December 31, 2018, the Bermuda government enacted the Substance Act, with effect from July 1, 2019 for existing Bermuda entities, requiring certain entities in Bermuda engaged in "relevant activities" to maintain a substantial economic presence in Bermuda and to satisfy economic substance requirements. The list of "relevant activities" includes holding entities, and the legislation requires Bermuda companies engaging in a "relevant activity" to be locally managed and directed, to carry on core income generating activities in Bermuda, to maintain adequate physical presence in Bermuda, and to have an adequate level of local full time qualified employees and incur adequate operating expenditure in Bermuda. Under the Substance Act, any entity that must satisfy economic substance requirements but fails to do so could face automatic disclosure to competent authorities in the European Union of the information filed by the entity with the Bermuda Registrar of Companies in connection with the economic substance requirements and may also face financial penalties, restriction or regulation of its business activities or may be struck as a registered entity in Bermuda. The guidance as to how Bermuda authorities will interpret and enforce the Substance Act is pending, and we therefore cannot predict the potential impact of compliance or noncompliance on our results of operations and financial condition.

See "Item 3D. Risk Factors - Risks Related to Being Incorporated in Bermuda" for more information.

**A. Operating Results**

**Overview**

We are a leading provider of customer support services that helps drive extraordinary customer experiences for the world's most recognized brands. We combine our strong heritage of delivering world-class CX operations delivery with best-in-class services and solutions that span omnichannel customer engagement and support, digital marketing and customer experience management to help our clients measure customer sentiment and deliver a superior CX to their end-customers. Leveraging our proprietary Wave X purpose-built technology

------

platform, company culture and operational excellence, we help over 130 clients create innovative and differentiated customer experiences to help increase loyalty, enhance brand awareness and drive revenue in an era of rapid change and digital transformation.

**Key Factors Affecting Our Performance**

We believe that the following factors have affected our results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2022.

*COVID-19*

Now more than two years into the Pandemic, client demand for our services has remained strong and we were successful at growing our revenue despite the challenges presented by COVID-19. The high level of client demand and our ability to continue to sell our services at an accelerating pace reflects the robust nature of our client base and our revenue pipeline.

During fiscal year 2020, we incurred $6.1 million (net of client reimbursements), including $4.8 million for temporary housing, meals and transportation for over 1,600 employees in the Philippines during lockdowns that shut down public transportation. In fiscal year 2021, we invested approximately $13 million in employee health, safety and wellness to help identify, slow and stop the spread of the virus in our facilities. Those investments included transportation for our employees to and from our facilities, high-grade disinfection of our CX delivery centers, appropriate social distancing measures, technology investment to contract trace and curb spread, and company-paid vaccinations. In fiscal year 2022, as social distancing restrictions have subsided and business has begun to return to normal in most of the geographies in which we operate, we have seen our expenses related to the Pandemic decrease to $3.4 million. We continue to incur costs related to employee health and wellness, such as additional cleaning costs in our facilities, which we now consider to be part of our ongoing operating costs. In many cases, we were successful in protecting our margins by negotiating price increases from our clients to cover these additional costs.

We believe that the Pandemic continues to present risks and opportunities for our business. Any weakening of the economy, including but not limited to the Pandemic, rising global inflation and rising interest rates, could have an impact on consumer demand for goods and services, thus impacting demand from consumer-facing businesses for customer support. On the other hand, our client base has a heavy preponderance of companies that either provide online services, are enablers of the online economy, or are inflation resistant (such as healthcare providers), and are likely to see continued demand for their services despite these global economic uncertainties.

For additional details on the effect of COVID-19 on our performance, see "Item 3D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted our business and results of operations. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 and its variants on our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by federal, state and local governmental authorities in the United States, governmental authorities in our international sites and our clients in response to the Pandemic."

*Client Concentration*

We have actively pursued and been successful at diversifying our client base. In fiscal year 2020, approximately 44% of our consolidated revenue was generated by our three largest clients, which were heavily concentrated in the telecom and cable industries. In fiscal year 2022, our largest client accounted for 12%, and our three largest clients accounted for 27%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue. Two of our top three clients were acquired following fiscal year 2016.

------

A number of factors that have impacted our revenues during the three years ended June 30, 2022 are discussed below:

*New Client Wins*

As a result of our land and expand strategy, we have been successful in winning an increasing number of new client engagements, and subsequently increasing our revenues with these clients year over year. Historically, our in-year new client wins have generated 2.0x to 3.5x revenue in the second and third years of the engagement.

*Outsourcing Strategy*

We believe clients are increasingly looking to utilize outsourcing partners who can provide unified solutions for a variety of touchpoints along the customer interaction value chain, from digital marketing to customer sales and support to CX and surveys. Providers with integrated offerings will command a larger share of wallet from their clients, drive a great degree of insight and performance; this ultimately drives a longer term, mutually beneficial partnership. The client selection process typically considers scale, quality of the facilities, and strength of leadership and brand of the provider in the selected market. Clients will usually reward higher-performing vendors with a greater share of their spend on customer interaction solutions. Changes in geographic strategy, where a client is looking to move business from onshore to offshore or nearshore, or balance their workload between nearshore and offshore, often create opportunities for outsourced customer interaction providers. Our geographic growth with clients is a key part of our overall growth.

*Provider Performance*

Generally, our clients will re-allocate spend and market share in favor of outsourcing providers who consistently perform better and add more value than their competitors. Such re-allocation of spend can either take place on a short-term basis as higher performing providers are shielded by the client against demand volatility, or on a longer term basis as the client shifts more and more of its overall outsourcing spend and volume to higher performing providers. In addition to our growth due to new client wins, our revenues have increased with our existing clients as a result of performance-based market share gains.

*Client's Underlying Business Performance*

Demand for customer interaction services reflects a client's underlying business performance and priorities. Growth in a client's business often results in increased demand for our customer engagement solutions. Conversely, a decline in a client's business generally results in a decrease in demand for our customer engagement solutions, coupled with an increase in demand for our customer acquisition and expansion solutions. The correlation between business performance and demand for outsourced customer interaction solutions can therefore be complex, and depends upon several factors such as vendor consolidation, growth investment focus and overall business environment, which can result in short term revenue volatility for providers.

*Product Cycles*

Many of our clients regularly upgrade their product or service mix, which impacts their demand for CLX service. For example, one of our largest clients has, in recent years, followed a product release cycle which results in demand spikes that can vary in volume depending on product complexity and customer demand.

*Pricing*

Our revenues are dependent upon both volumes and unit pricing for our various CLX services. Client pricing is often expressed in terms of a base price as well as, in limited cases, with bonuses and occasionally penalties depending upon our achievement of certain client objectives. In fiscal year 2022, as a result of tightening in the

------

global labor market and corresponding labor inflation, as well as additional facilities expenses now being incurred due to the Pandemic, we have pursued and been successful at negotiating price increases or cost of living adjustments with many of our clients.

Within our customer engagement solution, pricing for services delivered from onshore locations is higher than pricing for services delivered from offshore locations, largely driven by higher wage levels in onshore locations. Accordingly, a shift in service delivery location from onshore to offshore locations results in a decline in absolute revenues; however, margins tend to increase, in percentage and often in absolute terms, as compared to onshore service delivery.

**Factors Affecting our Operating Profit Margins**

A number of factors that have affected our operating profit margins during the three fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 are discussed below:

*Capacity Utilization*

As a significant portion of our customer interaction services are performed by customer-facing agents located in delivery facilities, our margins are impacted by the level of capacity utilization in those facilities. We incur substantial fixed expenses in operating such facilities. The greater the volume of interactions handled, the higher the utilization level of workstations within those facilities and the revenues generated to cover those fixed costs, thus the greater the percentage operating margin.

As our geographic delivery location mix has continued to shift toward offshore and nearshore locations, we have continued to invest in additional facilities in Jamaica, Nicaragua, the Philippines and Honduras, and expect this capacity to be absorbed quickly as we continue to see high demand for these regions.

*Labor Costs*

When compensation levels of our employees increase, we may not be able to pass on such increased costs to our clients or do so on a timely basis, which tends to depress our operating profit margins if we cannot generate sufficient offsetting productivity gains. We have continued to see increasing wage pressure in all of our geographies, in part brought on by the current global inflation and labor shortage, which is increasing competition for contact center agents from other sectors of the economy. Over time, we have offset these wage increases with higher agent quality and increased productivity, leading to financial improvements. Furthermore, our overall labor cost as a percentage of revenue is impacted by the aforementioned shift in delivery location from onshore delivery centers to nearshore and offshore centers.

*Attrition Among Customer Facing Agents*

The outsourcing industry is generally characterized by high employee turnover. Such turnover has a significant impact upon profitability as recruiting and training expenses are incurred to replace departing agents. Attrition in the United States, though high as compared to other regions, has decreased slightly in fiscal year 2022 mainly driven by the deployment of the work at home model. Conversely, our Customer Acquisition solution and our offshore and nearshore operations have historically experienced lower levels of turnover relative to the United States. Other considerations such as company culture, work conditions and general employee morale are key factors that impact employee turnover.

*Delivery Location*

We generate significantly greater profit margins from our work carried out by agents located in offshore and nearshore geographies compared to our work carried out from locations in the United States. As a result, our operating margins are significantly influenced by the proportion of our work delivered from these higher margin locations. Over time we have expanded and further diversified our delivery network by adding facilities in these

------

locations offering a significant relative cost advantage. Our percentage of workstations in nearshore and offshore centers increased to 76.8% from 73.9% as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

*Inelasticity of Labor Costs Relative to Short-Term Variations in Client Demand*

As our business depends on maintaining large numbers of agents to service our clients' business needs, we tend not to terminate agents on short notice in response to temporary declines in demand in excess of agreed levels, as rehiring and retraining agents at a later date would force us to incur additional expenses. Furthermore, any termination of our employees also generally involves the incurrence of significant additional costs in the form of severance payments or early notice periods to comply with labor regulations in the various jurisdictions in which we operate our business, all of which would have an adverse impact on our operating profit margins. Similarly, we do tend to delay increases in overall headcount upon increases in short-term demand, preferring to increase agent utilization and compensating agents for the increased workload. Accordingly, these factors constrain our ability to adjust our labor costs for short-term declines in demand, but also allow us to realize significant margin accretion upon short term increases in demand that can be handled by our existing workforce. These factors are especially relevant in situations where we are paid by clients based upon actual work performed, rather than upon the number of agents made available to perform client work.

*Increases in Expenses Related to Sourcing or Generating Leads*

A key element of our customer acquisition solution is the generation or purchase of leads or projects. We either generate our leads ourselves, often through digital means, or purchase our leads from external sources. Any increase in the cost of sourcing or generating leads or changes in the rate of conversion of those leads could impact our profit margins. We occasionally experience some volatility in our internal lead generation costs, either due to competitive keyword bidding by other digital marketing agencies, or due to bidding restrictions imposed by our clients.

*Increased Up-Front Costs Driven by Increased Demand*

Aside from short-term increases in demand for which we tend to delay increases in headcount, an increase in demand for customer interaction services typically results in an up-front increase in employee compensation expenses, due to the in-advance need to hire and train additional employees, predominantly delivery center agents, to service client campaigns. As these expenses for hiring and training our employees are typically incurred in a period before the revenues associated with the increase in demand are recognized, it has the effect of causing an initial decrease in our operating profit margins prior to the full impact of the profitability from the additional demand.

*COVID-19*

In fiscal year 2022, we incurred approximately $3.4 million of additional costs for employee health, safety and wellness to help identify, slow and stop the spread of the virus in our facilities. As long as the Pandemic persists, we expect to continue incurring these costs to maintain healthy workplaces and employees.

*Net Effect of Currency Exchange Rate Fluctuations*

While substantially all of our revenues are generated in U.S. dollars, a significant portion of our operating expenses are incurred outside of the United States and paid for in respective foreign currencies, principally the local currencies of the Philippines, Jamaica and Pakistan. During the three fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, out of our total employee benefits expenses, 25.2% were incurred in the Philippine Pesos, 14.9% were incurred in the Jamaican Dollar and 9.8% were incurred in Pakistani Rupee. As a result, our operations are subject to the effects of changes in exchange rates against the U.S. dollar. See "Item 3D. Risk Factors" and Note 22.1.2 to our audited consolidated financial statements included at the end of this annual report.

------

*Seasonality*

Our business performance is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Within our customer engagement solution, some of our retail-facing clients undergo an increase in activity during the calendar year-end holiday period. These seasonal effects cause differences in revenues and expenses among the various quarters of any financial year, which means that the individual quarters should not be directly compared with each other or be used to predict annual financial results. This intra-year seasonal fluctuation is common in the BPO industry, with increased volumes during the fourth calendar quarter of the year.

Within our customer acquisition solution, our revenues may increase during the summer period when households tend to move and activate telecommunications services in their new homes, as well as during the final quarter of the calendar year when the year-end holiday season begins.

**Key Operational Metrics**

We regularly prepare and review the following key operating indicators to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends in our business, prepare financial projections, allocate resources and make strategic decisions:

***Workstations***

The number of workstations at all of our delivery centers is a key volume metric for our business. It is defined as the number of physical workstations at a delivery center location used for production (excluding, for example, workstations in training rooms or those used by supervisors). A single workstation will typically be used for multiple shifts, and therefore there will typically be more delivery center agents than utilized workstations.

***Work at home***

The number of work at home seats is also a key volume metric for our business. It is defined as the number of production agents working at home (excluding, for example, management and corporate employees). Since the Pandemic started, we have enabled work at home seats, which have expanded significantly and this capability has become a key part of our delivery model.

***Capacity Utilization***

Capacity Utilization is an efficiency metric used within our business. We define Capacity Utilization as the number of on-site workstations in use plus the number of work at home seats divided by the number of on-site workstations, for the period under consideration, across all facilities in the region. In fiscal year 2020, during the height of the Pandemic, we saw capacity utilization over 100% in the nearshore region due primarily to a higher work at home employee population and / or higher on-site workstation seat turns. During fiscal year 2022, capacity utilization decreased to 69% from 77% in the prior year as we continued to invest primarily in nearshore expansion, while experiencing lower utilization rates due to pandemic related restrictions, which have now been lifted in all regions. This will free up approximately 10,000 seats which we can deploy for our robust revenue backlog in the coming year.

------

The following table displays our capacity utilization by region for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

(1) Rest of world includes workstations in Pakistan, Senegal and the United Kingdom.

***Workstation Seat Turns***

A single workstation has the potential to be used for multiple shifts. We define Workstation Seat Turn as the average number of shifts that a workstation is used. On average, our "voice only" business operates at approximately 1.3 onsite Workstation Seat Turns while our "digital and omni-channel" business attains more than 1.6 onsite Workstation Seat Turns, resulting in a higher profitability from the digital workstation. As our integrated omni-channel business has increased, so has our overall Workstation Seat Turns.

Throughout fiscal year 2022, our Workstation Seat Turns were negatively impacted by the safety protocols that were necessary as a result of the Pandemic. For more information, please see "Risk Factors—The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted our business and results of operations. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 and its variants on our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by federal, state and local governmental authorities in the United States, governmental authorities in our international sites and our clients in response to the pandemic."

------

**Components of Results of Operations**

***Revenue***

A substantial majority of revenues in our contact center solution are based upon a price per unit of time or customer interaction. In such case, we either charge (1) a base rate per unit of time (i.e., per hour worked or per minute interacting with customers) that an agent is engaged in servicing the client's customers or (2) an overall rate per customer interaction (i.e., price per call handled). Base rates could be adjusted up or down depending upon our performance against metrics agreed upon with each client.

A substantial majority of digital services revenues is generated under a fee-per-customer arrangement in which clients pay a fixed commission for each customer that we successfully acquire on their behalf. In some cases, we also receive a commission payment upon the annual renewal of that acquired customer. We also receive incentive payments upon the achievement of certain volume thresholds.

***Operating Expenses***

*Payroll and Related Costs*

Payroll and related costs consist of salaries, incentive compensation and employee benefits for all employees. The majority of this category relates to personnel engaged in client-facing service delivery, including delivery center agents, supervisors and other operations personnel of a client-facing nature. These costs will generally increase in proportion to our revenue. The remaining expenses in this category relate to salaries, incentive compensation and employee benefits for full-time employees in our accounting, finance, human resources, legal, strategy, sales, marketing, client services, administrative and executive management functions. While these costs also generally increase in relation to our revenue, they do so at a lower rate and are semi-fixed in nature.

*Share-based Payments*

Share-based payments consist primarily of costs related to the issuance of equity awards under our various equity compensation plans. For further details, see "Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments."

*Reseller Commission and Lead Expenses*

Reseller commission and lead expenses consist of the costs of generating or purchasing leads, which are expenses directly associated with acquiring new customers. These costs will generally increase in proportion to revenues from our digital solution and are therefore variable costs. Within this solution, we either generate our own leads or purchase leads from third parties, and then use our telephone-based sales agents to convert these leads into actual sales for our clients. We are then paid by our clients upon validation and confirmation of that sale. When we generate our own leads, we often do so pursuant to an online search that results in an interested visitor on our web properties, in which case we pay the search engine provider. When we purchase leads from outside providers, we do so from companies that originate leads for a variety of marketing purposes and sell them to companies such as us. All our expenses associated either with the internal generation of leads or the purchase of leads from third party providers are classified as lead expenses.

*Depreciation and Amortization*

Depreciation and amortization relates to the depreciation of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, and amortization of our software licenses and other definite lived intangibles.

------

*Other Operating Costs*

Other operating costs (recurring and non-recurring) including rent and utilities, telecommunication, repairs and maintenance, travel, housing, meals, local transportation, insurance, legal and professional, as well as other miscellaneous expenses. These costs will generally increase in relation to our revenue, although at a lower rate than variable expenses. This category also includes certain other expenses such as goodwill and intangibles impairment, foreign exchange gain or loss and allowance for expected credit losses.

***Finance Expenses***

Finance costs consist principally of interest paid on right-of-use leases and borrowings, and bank fees.

***Income Tax (Expense) / Benefit***

Income tax (expense) / benefit consists of the corporate income tax to be paid on our corporate profit, including deferred tax.

**<u>Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021</u>**

***Revenue***

Our revenue was $493.6 million in fiscal year 2022, an increase of $49.9 million, or 11.2%, compared to the prior year. Since our shift to the digital-first marketplace in fiscal year 2016, the clients we have won now make up more than $342 million, or 69%, of our current revenues. We partner with approximately 70% of these clients to provide integrated omni-channel solutions which we believe make our relationships with them stronger and more defensible. Our global operational excellence and client-first focus has yielded a 49% annual revenue growth rate over fiscal year 2021 for these clients. We won 23 new clients during the year, primarily in the Retail and E-Commerce, FinTech and HealthTech verticals. New clients launched in fiscal year 2022 contributed approximately $49 million of revenue in the year, and on average, clients won in the current year typically contribute approximately 2.0 to 3.5 times more revenue over the next two years. Our client concentration continues to improve. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, our top five clients represented 39% of overall revenue, down from 50% in the prior year. By vertical market, Retail and E-Commerce increased to 19.4% of

------

annual revenue, compared to 18.0% in the prior year. FinTech and HealthTech, where we made strategic investments in early fiscal year 2020, increased significantly to 26.0% of annual revenue in the current year, compared to 14.6% in fiscal year 2021. Conversely, telecommunications decreased to 18.1% of annual revenue, compared to 29.3% in the prior year.

***Operating Expenses***

We incurred costs related to COVID-19 of approximately $3.4 million ($1.6 million non-recurring, as defined below) and $13 million ($8.3 million non-recurring, as defined below), in fiscal years 2022 and 2021, respectively, for employee health, safety and wellness to help identify, slow and stop the spread of the virus in our facilities, including local transportation for our employees to and from our facilities, rapid testing, company-paid vaccinations, high-grade disinfection of our CX delivery centers, and appropriate social distancing measures. Non-recurring costs are defined as those that are expected to end once the Pandemic operating restrictions are lifted by local governments.

Total operating expenses were $463.8 million in fiscal year 2022, an increase of $33.9 million, or 7.9%, compared to last year. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to an increase in payroll and related costs by $45.3 million and an increase in depreciation and amortization of $6.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in the fair value adjustment related to the Amazon warrant of $12.0 million, a decrease in share-based payments of $2.7 million, a decrease in other operating expenses by $1.9 million, and a decrease in reseller commissions and lead expenses by $0.8 million.

Payroll and related costs were $342.1 million in fiscal year 2022, an increase of $45.3 million, or 15.3%, compared to the prior year. As a percent of revenue, payroll costs increased to 69.3% compared to 66.9% in the prior year. This percentage increase was primarily driven by upfront costs associated with ramping new clients during the year.

Share-based payment expense were $1.9 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $2.7 million, compared to the prior year. The decrease was primarily related to higher share based payment expense in the prior year due to the initial public offering.

Reseller commissions and lead expenses were $12.9 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 6.1%, compared to the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to lower year over year revenue associated with this expense.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $6.0 million (including a decrease in right-of-use depreciation of $0.2 million), or 21.2%, to $34.2 million in the current year compared to the prior year. The increase in depreciation and amortization was related to the expansion of existing and opening of new delivery centers primarily in the nearshore region. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation and amortization expense has increased slightly, to 6.9% in the current year compared to 6.4% in the prior year, as we have expanded capacity to meet the growing demand in our revenue pipeline.

The decrease in the fair value adjustment related to the Amazon warrant was directly related to the decrease in the Company's stock price compared to the prior year.

The $1.9 million decrease in other operating costs was primarily attributable to a $7.8 million decrease in non-recurring costs primarily due to lower local transportation expenses related to COVID-19, a $1.1 million reversal of bad debt expense on collected receivables that had been previously reserved, offset by $4.2 million in additional facilities expenses related to new delivery centers, $1.8 million related to additional investments in technology, and $0.9 million in additional travel primarily due to the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions.

***Income from operations***

Income from operations was $29.8 million compared to $13.8 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.

------

The increase was primarily due to lower non-recurring costs related to COVID-19, a positive impact from the fair value adjustment related to the Amazon warrant, and a decrease in share-based payments expense, offset by higher depreciation and amortization related to our capacity expansion over the last two years.

***Finance Expenses***

Finance expenses were $8.8 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $0.2 million compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to a decrease in interest on borrowings partially offset by higher interest on lease liabilities.

***Income Tax Benefit / (Expense)***

Income tax benefit was $2.0 million in fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $3.9 million compared to the $1.9 million income tax expense in the prior year, primarily due to a tax restructuring that allowed the Company to recognize approximately $4.0 million in tax benefits from previously unrecognized net operating losses.

***Net income for the year***

As a result of the factors described above, net income for the year was $23.0 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $20.1 million, compared to $2.8 million in the prior year.

***Comparison of the Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020***

A comparison of fiscal years 2021 and 2020 can be found in "Item 5.A—Operating Results" in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, which was filed with the SEC on October 14, 2021.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

We present non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that they and other similar measures are widely used by certain investors, securities analysts and other interested parties as supplemental measures of performance and liquidity. We also use these measures internally to establish forecasts, budgets and operational goals to manage and monitor our business, as well as evaluate our underlying historical performance, as we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a more accurate depiction of our performance of the business by encompassing only relevant and manageable events, enabling us to evaluate and plan more effectively for the future. The non- GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies, have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under IFRS as issued by the IASB. Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios are not measurements of our performance, financial condition or liquidity under IFRS as issued by the IASB and should not be considered as alternatives to operating profit or net income / (loss) or as alternatives to cash flow from operating, investing or financing activities for the period, or any other performance measures, derived in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB or any other generally accepted accounting principles.

***Adjusted net income and pro forma adjusted earnings per share***

We define "adjusted net income" as net income before the effect of the following items: non-recurring expenses (including severance expense, litigation and settlement expenses, costs related to COVID-19, and listing costs, as applicable), amortization of warrant asset, foreign currency translation gains or losses, fair value measurement of share warrants, share-based payments, gain or loss on disposal of fixed assets and/or lease terminations, and impairment of intangibles, as applicable, net of the tax impact of such adjustments.

------

We use adjusted net income and pro forma adjusted earnings per share internally to establish forecasts, budgets and operational goals to manage and monitor our business, as well as evaluate our underlying historical performance. We believe that adjusted net income and pro forma adjusted earnings per share are meaningful indicators of performance as it reflects what we believe is closer to the actual results of our business performance by removing items that we believe are not reflective of our underlying business. We also believe that adjusted net income and pro forma adjusted earnings per share may be widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties as a supplemental measure of performance.

Adjusted net income and pro forma adjusted earnings per share may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under IFRS as issued by the IASB. Because of these limitations, you should consider adjusted net income and pro forma adjusted earnings per share in conjunction with other IFRS-based financial performance measures, including net income from operations, net income, and our other IFRS financial results.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Represents the dilutive impact of:

<br> (i) an incremental 3,199,609 weighted average shares outstanding for the year ended June 30, 2021, as a result of our initial public offering completed on August 7, 2020,

<br> (ii) an incremental 1,785,565 shares outstanding due to the conversion of preferred shares to common shares in connection with our initial public offering on August 7, 2020 and

<br> (iii) incremental weighted average shares outstanding resulting from vesting of awards under share-based compensation plans and vesting of the Amazon warrant, using the treasury stock method (as applicable) during the periods presented.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, we are providing "pro forma adjusted earnings per share – diluted" to illustrate the impact on the
 calculation of adjusted earnings per share of taking into account the dilutive impact of the shares issued in our initial public offering on August 7, 2020, the dilutive impact of the preferred share conversion on August 7, 2020, and the
 dilutive impact related to vesting of awards under share-based compensation plans and the Amazon warrant on the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding – diluted, resulting in pro forma adjusted weighted average shares outstanding
 – diluted. We have used 18,384,921 shares, the pro forma adjusted weighted average shares outstanding – diluted for year ended June 30, 2021, to calculate pro forma adjusted earnings per share– diluted for the year ended June 30, 2020. We
 believe that pro forma adjusted earnings per share – diluted presented for June 30, 2020, is useful information for investors because it enhances comparability between the pre- and post-IPO periods. This non-GAAP measure may not be comparable
 to other similarly titled measures of other companies, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under IFRS as issued by the IASB.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) See Note 20 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in elsewhere in this annual report for additional information regarding
 the calculation of basic and diluted earnings / (loss) per share attributable to equity holders of the parent and weighted average shares outstanding – basic and diluted. For the periods noted, the amount represents net income divided by the
 weighted average shares outstanding – diluted for the period presented.

***Adjusted EBITDA***

We define "EBITDA" as net income before the effect of the following items: finance expenses (including finance expense related to right-of-use lease liabilities), income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization (including depreciation on right-of-use assets). We define "Adjusted EBITDA" as EBITDA before the effect of the following items: non-recurring expenses (including severance expense, litigation and settlement expenses, costs related to COVID-19, and listing costs), amortization of warrant asset, foreign currency translation gains or losses, fair value measurement of share warrants, share-based payments, gain or loss on disposal of fixed assets and/or lease terminations, and impairment of intangibles, as applicable.

We use Adjusted EBITDA internally to establish forecasts, budgets and operational goals to manage and monitor our business, as well as evaluate our underlying historical performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful indicator of the health of our business as it reflects our ability to generate cash that can be used to fund capital expenditures and growth. Adjusted EBITDA also disregards non-cash or non-recurring charges that we believe are not reflective of our long-term performance. We also believe that Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties as a supplemental measure of performance and liquidity.

Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under IFRS as issued by the IASB. Some of these limitations are as follows:

● although depreciation and amortization expense is a non-cash charge, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;

● Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for our discretionary use, as it does not reflect: (i) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (ii) debt service requirements; (iii) tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; and (iv) other cash costs that may recur in the future;

<br> ● other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA for similarly titled measures differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these and other limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with other IFRS-based financial performance measures, including cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, net income and our other IFRS financial results.

***Adjusted EBITDA Margin***

We calculate "Adjusted EBITDA margin" as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 13.5% for the year ended June 30, 2022 compared to 14.9% in the prior year, and decreased compared to the prior year primarily due to costs associated with ramping new business, particularly in the first and fourth quarters.

Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 14.9% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 compared to 13.6% in the prior year, and increased primarily due to strong revenue growth driven from digital-first clients, expanding margins due to expansion in nearshore and offshore regions, along with increasing onshore margins, and an increase in operating leverage, partially offset by higher recurring expenses related to COVID-19 and incremental ongoing costs related to our recent listing as a public company.

**Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments**

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods then-ended. Accounting estimates require the use of significant management assumptions and judgments as to future events, and the effect of those events cannot be predicted with certainty. The accounting estimates will change as new events occur, more experience is acquired and more information is obtained. We evaluate and update our assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis and use outside experts to assist in that evaluation when we deem necessary. Our significant accounting policies, which may be affected by our estimates and assumptions, are discussed further in Note 2.5 to our audited consolidated financial statements (critical accounting estimates and judgments) included at the end of this annual report.

------

In the process of applying our accounting policies, we have made the following estimates and judgments which are significant to the audited consolidated financial statements:

***Critical Accounting Estimates***

*Impairment of intangibles*

Goodwill: The calculation for considering the impairment of the carrying amount of goodwill requires a comparison of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated, to the value of goodwill and the associated assets in the consolidated statement of financial position. The calculation of recoverable amount requires an estimate of the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash generating unit. Judgment is applied in selection of a suitable discount rate and terminal value. The key assumptions made in relation to the impairment of goodwill are set out in Note 4 to our audited consolidated financial statements included at the end of this annual report.

Indefinite Lived Intangibles (patent and trademarks): The indefinite lived intangibles are tested for impairment by comparing their carrying amount to the estimates of their fair value based on estimates of discounted cash flow method. In those instances where the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell), the asset is written down accordingly. For more information see Note 5 to our audited consolidated financial statements included at the end of this annual report.

*Impairment of financial assets*

We apply the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses using a lifetime expected credit loss provision for trade receivables and contract assets. To measure expected credit losses on a collective basis, trade receivables and contract assets are grouped based on similar credit risk and aging. The contract assets have similar risk characteristics to the trade receivables for similar types of contracts. For more information see Note 22 to our audited consolidated financial statements included at the end of this annual report.

*Depreciation and amortization*

Estimation of useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets: We estimate the useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets based on the period over which the assets are expected to be available for use. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed periodically and are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits on the use of the assets. For more information see Note 5 and 6 to our audited consolidated financial statements included at the end of this annual report.

*Market value of common shares / fair market value of warrants*

The Company was listed on a public marketplace (NASDAQ) as of June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2022, the Company used the Black-Scholes valuation model to calculate the fair value of the share options/awards on the grant date and to calculate the fair value of warrants. The calculation of fair value includes the price per share, expected term, expected volatility, expected dividends and the risk-free interest rate.

As we were not listed on a public marketplace as of June 30, 2020, the calculation of the market value of our common shares was subject to a greater degree of estimation in determining the basis for any share awards that we may issue.

For purposes of determining the historical share-based compensation expense, we used the Monte Carlo simulation to calculate the fair value of the restricted stock awards (the "RSAs") on the grant date as we were not listed on a public marketplace. The determination of the grant date fair value of the RSAs using a pricing model is affected by estimates and assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables.

------

These variables include the estimated fair value of the common shares, the expected price volatility of the common shares over the expected term of the RSAs and exercise and cancellation behaviors, each of which are estimated as follows:

<br> ● Fair value of our common shares. As our common shares were not publicly traded as of June 30, 2020, we estimated the fair value of the common shares, as discussed in "Valuations of Common Shares" below.

● Volatility. Since there was no trading history for our common shares as of June 30, 2020, the expected price volatility for the common shares was estimated using the average historical volatility of the shares of our industry peers as of the grant date of our RSAs over a period of history commensurate with the expected life of the awards. To the extent that volatility of the share price increases in the future, the estimates of the fair value of the awards to be granted in the future could increase, thereby increasing share-based payment expense in future periods. When making the selection of the industry peers to be used in measuring implied volatility of the RSAs, we considered the similarity of their products and business lines, as well as their stage of development, size and financial leverage. We intend to continue to consistently apply this process using the same or similar public companies until a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of our own share price becomes available, or unless circumstances change such that the identified companies are no longer similar to us, in which case, more suitable companies whose share prices are publicly available would be utilized in the calculation.

● Expected life of the RSAs. We calculated the weighted-average expected life of the RSAs to be four years based on management's best estimates regarding the effect of vesting schedules. RSAs granted may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution.

<u>Valuations of Common Shares</u>

Given the absence of an active market for our common shares as of June 30, 2020, we were required to estimate the fair value of our common shares at the time of each grant. We considered objective and subjective factors in determining the estimated fair value of our common shares on each RSA grant date. Factors considered by us included the following:

<br> ● third-party valuations of our common shares;

<br> ● the lack of marketability of our common shares;

<br> ● our historical and projected operating and financial performance;

<br> ● our introduction of new services;

<br> ● our stage of development;

<br> ● the global economic outlook and its expected impact on the business;

<br> ● the market performance of comparable companies; and

<br> ● the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event for the common shares underlying the awards, such as our initial public offering or sale, given prevailing market conditions.

We determined valuations of our common shares for purposes of granting awards through a two-step valuation process described below. We first estimated the value of our equity. We utilized the income and market approaches to estimate our equity value. Then, our equity value was allocated across our various equity securities to arrive at a value for the common shares. The income approach, which relies on a discounted cash flow ("DCF") analysis, measures the value of a company as the present value of its future economic benefits by applying an appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate to expected cash flows, based on forecasts of revenue and costs.

------

We used two forms of the market approach to determine a fair market value for its equity: (i) the guideline public company method (the "GPCM"), and (ii) the merger and acquisition method (the "MAM").

The GPCM involves the review of pricing and performance information for public companies deemed generally similar to a subject company and subject to similar industry dynamics. The MAM consists of a review of transactions involving similar companies over the last five years. The valuation conclusion was based on the income approach (using DCF analysis), GPCM, and MAM. We assigned more weight to the DCF as it better reflected our operations and placed less weight to the GPCM and MAM. More specifically, less weight was assigned to the MAM as compared to the GPCM given the limited number of transactions involving comparable companies, which made the MAM less meaningful relative to the GPCM.

For each valuation report, we first prepared a financial forecast to be used in the computation of the enterprise value using the income approach. The financial forecasts took into account our past experience and future expectations. Second, the risks associated with achieving these forecasts were assessed in selecting the appropriate discount rate. There is inherent uncertainty in these estimates. Third, we allocated the resulting equity value among the securities that comprise our capital structure. The aggregate value of the common shares was then divided by the number of common shares outstanding to arrive at the per share value.

Since the fair value of our common shares has been determined partially by using the DCF analysis, the valuations have been heavily dependent on our estimates of revenue, costs and related cash flows. These estimates are highly subjective and may change frequently based on both new operating data as well as various macroeconomic conditions that impact our business. Each of the valuations was prepared using data that was consistent with our then-current operating plans that we were using to manage our business.

In addition, the DCF calculations are sensitive to highly subjective assumptions that we were required to make relating to its financial forecasts and the selection of an appropriate discount rate, which was based on our estimated cost of equity.

Our discount rate was determined based on the stage of development at each valuation date and was quantified based on a risk-free discount rate for government debt, capital markets risk, our sector and size.

We granted 2,373,374 restricted share awards at a fair value of $0.61 per restricted common share in December 2018. The fair value of the restricted common shares was based on a Monte Carlo simulation, which can be considered a form of the probability weighted expected return method ("PWERM"), using an equity value as determined via the income approach (present value of discounted cash flows) and the market approaches (guideline public company method and mergers and acquisition method).

On December 22, 2018, the preference shares were entitled to an aggregate of $149.2 million in participating and non-participating preference. This amount was significantly higher than our fair value as determined by the Board of Directors as of November 30, 2018 on the basis of the independent valuation referred to in the previous paragraph. Because the common shares are not entitled to any distribution until the applicable preferences are satisfied, the fair value of the common shares was significantly lower than the fair value of the preference shares on November 30, 2018.

<u>Fair market value of warrants</u>

The Company accounts for the warrants to purchase its common shares in accordance with the provisions of IAS 32 - Financial Instruments: Presentation and IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments. The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net-cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company) or (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement).

The Company assessed the classification of the warrant as of the date it was issued and determined that such

------

instruments met the criteria for liability classification. The warrant is reported on the consolidated statement of financial position as a liability at fair value using the Black-Scholes valuation method. The initial value was recorded on the consolidated statements of financial position with the common shares underlying the warrant which have vested recorded as contra revenue and the remainder recorded to long term assets.

The total fair value of the warrant liability is determined at the end of each reporting period by multiplying the fair value of a warrant by the total number of warrants that are expected to vest under the arrangement based on the satisfaction of the specified revenue milestones provided in the warrant. The total number of warrants that are expected to vest is based upon the cumulative revenues that are expected, as determined at the end of each reporting period, to be earned from Amazon during a period of 7.5 years ending on June 30, 2024.

<br> ● The share price.

<br> ● The strike price.

<br> ● Volatility determined based on historical prices of our shares.

<br> ● The duration, which has been estimated as the difference between the valuation date of the warrant plans and final exercise date.

<br> ● The risk-free interest rate.

Given the absence of an active market for the common shares as of June 30, 2020, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of its common shares at the time of each grant.

The Company considers a variety of factors in estimating the fair value of its common shares on each measurement date, including:

<br> ● the Company's historical and projected operating and financial performance;

<br> ● the Company's introduction of new products and services;

<br> ● the Company's completion of strategic acquisitions;

<br> ● the Company's stage of development;

<br> ● the global economic outlook and its expected impact on the Company's business; and

<br> ● the market performance of comparable companies.

The asset will be amortized on a systematic basis over the life of the arrangement as revenue is recognized for the transfer of the related goods or services. The Company will review the asset on a reporting period basis to determine whether an impairment is required. In the event that an impairment is needed, the Company will reduce the asset and offset to revenues.

Additionally, the Company will also require the calculation of the fair market value of the warrants associated with the Amazon transaction. For factors used in determining the fair value of the warrants refer to Note 28 to our audited consolidated financial statements included at the end of this annual report.

*Legal provisions*

We review outstanding legal cases following developments in the legal proceedings and at each reporting date, in order to assess the need for provisions and disclosures in the audited consolidated financial statements. Among the factors considered in making decisions on provisions are the nature of litigation, claim or assessment, the legal process and potential level of damages in the jurisdiction in which the litigation, claim or assessment has been brought, the progress of the case (including the progress after the date of the audited consolidated financial statements but before those statements are issued), the opinions or views of legal advisers, experience on similar cases and any decision of our management as to how it will respond to the litigation, claim or assessment. Refer to Note 16 to our audited consolidated financial statements included at the end of this annual report.

------

***Judgments***

*Leases*

In some cases, judgment may be required in determining whether a contract contains a lease. This assessment involves the exercise of judgment about whether it depends on specific lease, whether we obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the use of that asset and whether we have the right to direct the use of that asset. In addition, determining the lease term, we consider all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain (in accordance with lease contracts) to be extended (or not terminated). The lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If the implicit rate cannot be readily determined, we use an incremental borrowing rate specific to the country, term and currency of the contract.

*Staff retirement plans*

The net defined benefit pension scheme assets or liabilities are recognized in our consolidated statement of financial position. The determination of the position requires assumptions to be made regarding future salary increases, mortality, discount rates and inflation. The key assumptions made in relation to the pension plans are set out in Note 14.1 to our audited consolidated financial statements included at the end of this annual report.

*Share-based payments expense*

The share-based payments expense is recognized in our consolidated statement of profit or loss and comprehensive income (loss). The key assumptions made in relation to the share-based payments are set out in Note 19 to our audited consolidated financial statements included at the end of this annual report.

*Provision for taxation*

We are subject to income tax in several jurisdictions and significant judgment is required in determining the provision for current and deferred income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. As a result, we recognize tax liabilities based on estimates of whether additional taxes and interest will be due. Although we believe that our tax positions are supportable, these tax positions could still be challenged by the tax authorities upon review. We believe that our accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open audit years based on our assessment of many factors, including past experience and interpretations of tax law. Management evaluates the recoverability of deferred income tax assets by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including reversal of taxable temporary differences, forecasted operating earnings and available tax planning strategies, which heavily rely on estimates. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of complex judgments about future events. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will impact current and deferred income tax expense in the period in which such determination is made.

The key assumptions made in relation to tax provisioning are set out in Note 18 to our audited consolidated financial statements included at the end of this annual report.

**B. Liquidity and Capital Resources**

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, and borrowings under credit facilities, described in more detail below in "Financing Arrangements." We use these resources to finance our operations, expand current delivery centers and open new delivery centers, invest in upgrades of technology, service offerings, and for other strategic initiatives, such as acquiring or investing in complementary businesses or intellectual property rights. Our future liquidity requirements will depend on many factors,

------

including our growth rate and the timing and extent of spending to engage in the activities mentioned above. We believe that our existing cash balance together with cash generated from our operations, and availability under our existing revolving credit facilities and other financing arrangements will be sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements for at least the next twelve months.

As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the unused availability under our revolving credit facilities and lines of credit was $50.5 million and $33.6 million, respectively.

***Cash Flows***

The following discussion highlights our cash flow activities during the last three fiscal years.

***Cash and cash equivalents***

As of June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $48.8 million, including $7.2 million located outside of the United States, and $4.2 million that is subject to certain local regulations on repatriation. As of June 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $57.8 million, including $6.9 million located outside of the United States, and $3.0 million that is subject to certain local regulations on repatriation. Our cash position as of June 30, 2022 decreased primarily due to the net paydown of $11.1 million on our revolving line of credit.

***Cash Flows from Operating Activities***

Net cash inflow from operating activities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 was $50.1 million compared to $25.9 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. The increase in net cash inflow from operating activities was primarily driven by stronger operating results (including lower non-recurring expenses), improved working capital, and lower cash taxes paid in fiscal year 2022.

Net cash inflow from operating activities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 was $25.9 million compared to $51.7 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. The change in net cash inflow from operating activities was primarily driven by an improvement in operating results offset by an increase in trade receivables related to a large client reverting to standard payment terms, timing of cash payments for trade payables and an increase in cash taxes paid in fiscal year 2021.

Net cash inflow from operating activities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 was $51.7 million compared with net cash inflow of $2.2 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. The increase in net cash inflow from operating activities was primarily attributable to the increase in net income before taxation of $10.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2020 and to the accelerated collection of receivables related to a large client.

***Cash Flows from Investing Activities***

During the year ended June 30, 2022, we had net expenditures of $24.9 million on investing activities, primarily related to the purchase of property and equipment of $24.6 million and purchase of intangible assets of $1.3

------

million, as we continued to invest heavily in nearshore and offshore capacity expansion, offset by a dividend received from the joint venture of $1.0 million.

During the year ended June 30, 2021, we expended $20.2 million on investing activities, primarily related to the purchase of property and equipment of $19.4 million and purchase of intangible assets of $1.5 million. A significant portion of our investing activities was related to the expansion of two existing delivery centers in Nicaragua and the Philippines and the opening of four new delivery centers in Jamaica, Nicaragua, and the Philippines.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, we expended $4.8 million on investing activities, primarily related to the purchase of property and equipment of $4.3 million and purchase of intangible assets of $1.0 million. A significant portion of our investing activities was related to the opening of one new delivery center located in the Nicaragua and two new delivery centers located in the Philippines.

***Cash Flows from Financing Activities***

During the year ended June 30, 2022, we expended $33.3 million on financing activities, primarily related to a $11.1 million net decrease in our line of credit, repayment of borrowings of $6.8 million, net payments of $12.0 million on lease obligations, and $3.4 million in share buybacks.

Net cash inflow from financing activities of $30.4 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 was primarily related to net proceeds of $63.1 million from our IPO, payments of $1.1 million in listing costs, a $0.8 million net increase in our line of credit, net repayment of borrowings of $9.4 million and related party loans of $1.6 million, the payment of $17.5 million on lease obligations (including $5.5 million prepayments on high interest leases), and a dividend distribution of $4.0 million to our principal shareholder.

Net cash outflow from financing activities of $33.9 million cash during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 primarily reflected proceeds from line of credit of $127.6 million, repayments of line of credit $142.1 million, proceeds from borrowings of $1.0 million, repayment of borrowings of $8.0 million, and the payment of $12.2 million on lease obligations. This was also partially offset by the dividend distribution of $0.1 million.

Our cash resources could also be affected by various risks and uncertainties. For additional information, please see the section entitled "Risk Factors."

***Free cash flow***

We define "free cash flow" as net cash provided by operating activities less cash capital expenditures. While we believe that free cash flow provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our liquidity position in the same manner as our management, our use of free cash flow has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under IFRS. Further, other companies, including companies in our industry, may adjust their cash flows differently, which may reduce the value of free cash flow as a comparative measure. The following table presents a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS, for each of the periods indicated.

| **Free cash flow**<sup>(1)</sup>** | $**24210** | $**5074** | $**46454** |

Excluded from free cash flow from are the principal portion of right-of-use lease payments of $13.3 million, $10.8 million, and $9.1 million for the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. We believe it is useful to consider these payments when analyzing free cash flow as these amounts directly relate to revenue generating assets used in operations.

Free cash flow between fiscal years 2022 and 2021 increased to $24.2 million from $5.1 million in the prior year, due to an increase in net cash provided by operating activities paritally offset by an increase in capital expenditures over the prior year as we continued to invest primarily in nearshore capacity expansion.

Free cash flow between fiscal years 2021 and 2020 decreased to $5.1 million from $46.5 million in the prior year, driven by a decrease in net cash provided by operating activities primarily due to an increase in our trade receivables balance as one of our larger clients reverted to standard payment terms towards the end of fiscal year 2021, as well as an increase in cash capital expenditures of $15.6 million, including new capacity with social distancing requirements

***Dividend to TRGI***

On July 21, 2020, our board of directors approved a one-time dividend of $4.0 million to our shareholders reflecting a portion of the cash generation from the business during fiscal year 2020. The dividend was paid on July 24, 2020 to TRGI, the holder of our Series A preferred share (outstanding prior to its automatic conversion into common shares in connection with our initial public offering), which was entitled to a dividend preference that expired upon conversion of the Series A preferred share to common shares upon the completion of our initial public offering.

***Financing Arrangements***

We are party to a number of financing arrangements with banks, financial institutions and lessors that serve to meet our liquidity requirements. These arrangements include credit facilities, lines of credit, receivables financing arrangements, term loans, right-of-use leases, and financing leases. The following is a summary of our principal financing arrangements. For more information, refer to Note 13 to our audited consolidated financial statements included at the end of this annual report.

------

***Net debt***

We define "net debt" as total debt (borrowings and leases) less cash and cash equivalents. We believe that net debt provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our ability to pay off debt. Our use of net debt has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under IFRS. Further, other companies, including companies in our industry, may adjust their debt differently, which may reduce the value of net debt as a comparative measure.

Net debt is calculated below:

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| *US$ in thousands, unaudited* | **June 30,<br> 2022** | **June 30,<br> 2021** |
| *<u>Borrowings</u>* |  |  |
| Current | $14689 | $26716 |
| Non-current | 338 | 1801 |
|  | $15027 | $28517 |

| Cash and cash equivalents | 48831 | 57842 |
| **Net debt** | $**55905** | $**54674** |

---

The increase in net debt is primarily due to higher lease obligations on new sites in offshore and nearshore locations offset by our strong operating cash flow.

**B. Compensation**

Our directors and executive officers earned an aggregate amount of approximately $5.9 million for services provided in fiscal year 2022, including approximately $3.1 million of salary, $1.8 million of commissions and bonuses, $0.8 million of share-based payments, and $0.2 million of pension, retirement and similar benefit plans.

The equity ownership of our executive officers and directors is described below under the heading "Item 7A. Major Shareholders."

In addition, our board of directors adopted an equity benefit plan, as amended from time to time, as described under "IBEX Limited 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan" pursuant to which a total of 1,987,326.13 common shares are authorized for issuance (as further described below) . In fiscal year 2022, we granted certain executive officers a total of 568,344 restricted stock units. We have also granted other non-executive employees a total of 178,800 options at exercise prices between $13.25 and $20.11 and 72,500 restricted stock awards. For more information on share based compensation plans see footnote 19.

**Restricted Share Plan**

On December 21, 2018, our board of directors and shareholders approved and adopted the 2018 Restricted Share Plan (the "2018 RSA Plan"). As of June 30, 2022, awards covering an aggregate of 1,841,660 common shares had been made, of which 1,789,315 common shares have vested.

The following description of the 2018 RSA Plan is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the 2018 RSA Plan, which has been previously filed with the SEC as an exhibit.

***Purpose***

The 2018 RSA Plan enabled us to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to our employees, consultants and directors, and to promote the success of our business.

***Types of Awards***

The 2018 RSA Plan provides for awards of Class B common shares. Upon the consummation of our initial public offering, all Class B common shares automatically converted into common shares.

------

***Eligibility***

Selected employees, consultants or directors of our company or our affiliates were eligible to receive non-statutory restricted stock awards under the 2018 RSA Plan, but only employees of our company were eligible to receive incentive stock awards.

***Administration***

The 2018 RSA Plan is administered by our board of directors, a committee (or subcommittee) appointed by our board of directors, or any combination, as determined by our board of directors. Subject to the provisions of the 2018 RSA Plan and, in the case of a committee (or subcommittee), the specific duties delegated by our board of directors to such committee (or subcommittee), the administrator has the authority to, among other things, determine the per share fair market value of our common shares, select the individuals to whom awards may be granted; determine the number of shares covered by each award, approve the form(s) of agreement(s) and other related documents used under the 2018 RSA Plan, determine the terms and conditions of awards, amend outstanding awards, establish the terms of and implement an option exchange program, and construe and interpret the terms of the 2018 RSA Plan and any agreements related to awards granted under the 2018 RSA Plan. Our board of directors may also delegate authority to one of more of our officers to make awards under the 2018 RSA Plan.

***Available Shares***

Subject to adjustment, a maximum of 2,559,323 common shares could be awarded under the 2018 RSA Plan (after giving effect to the automatic conversion of the Class B common shares into common shares upon our initial public offering). Shares issued under the Plan may consist in whole or in part of authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares.

This limit may be adjusted to reflect certain changes in our capitalization, such as share splits, reverse share splits, share dividends, recapitalizations, rights offerings, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, spin-offs, split-ups and similar transactions.

If any award of Class B common shares under the 2018 RSA Plan ("Restricted Shares") expires or is forfeited in whole or in part, the unused Class B Common Shares covered by such Restricted Share award shall again be available for the grant under the 2020 LTIP. Additionally, any Class B Common Shares delivered to the Company by a Participant to either used to purchase additional Restricted Shares or to satisfy the applicable tax withholding obligations with respect to Restricted Shares (including shares retained from the Restricted Share award creating the tax obligation) shall be added back to the number of shares available for the future grant under the 2020 LTIP.

***Restricted Shares***

The board of directors may grant awards entitling recipients to acquire Restricted Shares, subject to the right of the Company to repurchase all or part of such Restricted Shares at their issue price or other stated or formula price (or to require forfeiture of such shares if issued at no cost) from the recipient in the event that conditions specified by the board of directors in the applicable Restricted Share award are not satisfied prior to the end of the applicable restriction period or periods established by the Board for such Restricted Share award.

The board of directors shall determine the terms and conditions of a Restricted Share award, including the conditions for vesting and repurchase (or forfeiture) and the issue price, if any.

------

***Stockholder Rights***

Except as otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, and with respect to an award of Restricted Shares, a participant will have no rights as a shareholder with respect to common shares covered by any award until the participant becomes the record holder of such common shares.

***Amendment and Termination***

Our board of directors may, at any time, amend or terminate the 2018 RSA Plan but no amendment or termination may be made that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any participant under any outstanding award, without his or her consent.

***Transferability***

Subject to certain limited exceptions, awards of Restricted Shares under the 2018 RSA Plan may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution.

***Effective Date; Term***

The 2018 RSA Plan became effective on December 21, 2018 and expires on December 31, 2028 unless terminated earlier by the board of directors. As of May 20, 2020, the 2020 LTIP was approved and no further awards will be made under the 2018 RSA Plan.

**Phantom Stock Options**

*Phantom Stock Plans*

In February 2018, IBEX Global ROHQ, IBEX Global Solutions (Philippines) Inc., and in March 2018, IBEX Global Jamaica Limited, each adopted a phantom stock plan ("Phantom Stock Plan"), which provide for grants of "phantom stock options" to certain of their executive officers and employees. Each phantom stock option provides the participant with a contractual right to receive an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of a vested common share of IBEX Limited at the time of exercise and the exercise price of the option per share.

On February 1, 2021, we terminated the Phantom Stock Plan for IBEX Global ROHQ. All IBEX Global ROHQ plan participants and phantom stock options were transferred to the IBEX Global Solutions (Philippines) Inc. Phantom Stock Plan. The IBEX Global Solutions (Philippines) Inc. and IBEX Global Jamaica Limited Phantom Stock Plans were amended and restated as of February 16, 2021. The maximum number of phantom stock options available for issuance under the IBEX Global Solutions (Philippines) Inc. and IBEX Global Jamaica Limited plans are 400,000 and 200,000 respectively. These Phantom Stock Plans shall continue until the earlier of June 30, 2025 or termination by the Ibex Limited board of Directors pursuant to the terms of the plan. As of June 30, 2022, an aggregate amount of 124,353 phantom stock options are exercisable and an aggregate amount of 187,673 phantom stock options are outstanding under those plans.

**IBEX Limited 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan**

On May 20, 2020 ("Effective Date"), our board of directors and shareholders approved and adopted the 2020 LTIP. Effective as of January 14, 2022, the LTIP was amended and restated to provide for an increase of an additional 700,000 shares available under the LTIP. As of June 30, 2022, awards covering an aggregate of 1,462,393 common shares in the form of shares or share options had been made, of which 578,127 are exercisable.

------

The following description of the 2020 LTIP, as amended, is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Ibex Limited Amended 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as filed with the SEC on March 2, 2022, as an exhibit to Form S-8.

***Purpose***

We believe that the 2020 LTIP will enable us to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to our employees, consultants and directors, and to promote the success of our business.

The 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan is designed to:

<br> ● promote the long-term financial interests and growth of our Company and its subsidiaries by attracting and retaining directors and employees, which include management as well as other personnel;

<br> ● motivate management by means of growth-related incentives to achieve long-range goals; and

<br> ● further the alignment of the interests of participants and those of our shareholders, through opportunities for increased stock or share-based ownership in our Company.

***Types of Awards***

The 2020 LTIP provides for awards of Class B common shares. Upon the consummation of our initial public offering, all Class B common shares automatically converted into common shares.

***Eligibility***

All of our officers, non-employee directors, employees and consultants are eligible to participate in the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan.

***Participation by Non-Employee Directors***

Although our non-employee directors, including our independent directors, are not involved in the day-to-day running of our operations, they play an invaluable role in furthering our business interests by contributing their experience and expertise. In particular, a number of our independent directors have substantial experience and expertise in financial and technology sectors and play an important role in helping us shape our business strategy. It is crucial for us to be able to attract, retain and incentivize such individuals.

It may not always be possible to quantify the services and contributions of our non-employee directors to our Company, and accordingly, it may not always be possible to compensate them fully or appropriately by increasing their directors' fees or other cash payments. To that end, participation by non-employee directors in the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan will provide our Company with a further avenue with which to acknowledge and reward their services and contributions to our Company. In addition, we believe that opportunities for increased shares or share-based ownership in our Company will further the alignment of the interests of our non-employee directors with the interests of our shareholders.

***Administration***

The 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan will be administered by the "Administrator," as defined below.

For the purposes of the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan, "Administrator" means our Compensation Committee, or such other committee(s) of director(s) duly appointed by our Board or our Compensation Committee to administer the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan or delegated limited authority to perform administrative actions under the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan, and having such powers as shall be specified by our Board or our Compensation Committee, provided, however, that at any time our Board may serve as the Administrator in

------

lieu of or in addition to our Compensation Committee or such other committee(s) of director(s) to whom administrative authority has been delegated. As of May 20, 2020, the Administrator is the Compensation Committee.

The Administrator has the authority, in its sole and absolute discretion, to grant Awards under the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan to eligible individuals, and to take all other actions necessary or desirable to carry out the purpose and intent of the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan. Further, the Administrator has the authority, in its sole and absolute discretion, subject to the terms and conditions of the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan, to, among other things:

<br> (a) determine the eligible individuals to whom, and the time or times at which, Awards shall be granted;

<br> (b) determine the type of Awards to be granted to any eligible individual;

<br> (c) determine the number of shares to be covered by or used for reference purposes for each Award or the value to be transferred pursuant to any Award; and

(d) determine the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to each Award and any shares acquired pursuant thereto, including, without limitation, (i) the purchase price of any shares, (ii) the method of payment for shares purchased pursuant to any Award, (iii) the method for satisfying any tax withholding obligation arising in connection with any Award, including by the withholding or delivery of shares, (iv) the timing, terms and conditions of the exercisability, vesting or payout of any Award or any shares acquired pursuant thereto, (v) the performance goals applicable to any Award and the extent to which such performance goals have been attained, (vi) the time of the expiration of an Award, (vii) any such modification, amendment or substitution that results in repricing of the Award which may be made without prior stockholder approval, (viii) the effect of a participant's Termination of Service, as defined in the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan, on any of the foregoing and (ix) all other terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to any Award or shares acquired pursuant thereto as the Administrator considers to be appropriate and not inconsistent with the terms of the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan.

***Available Shares***

Subject to adjustment, a maximum 1,987,326 common shares may be awarded under the 2020 LTIP. Shares issued under the Plan may consist in whole or in part of authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares.

This limit may be adjusted to reflect certain changes in our capitalization, such as share splits, reverse share splits, share dividends, recapitalizations, rights offerings, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, spin-offs, split-ups and similar transactions.

Subject to adjustment as provided in the provision of the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan pertaining to the occurrence of certain corporate transactions, the maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to share options granted under the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan that are intended to qualify as "incentive stock options" as that term is defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") is 3,500,000.

If any award of Class B common shares under the 2020 LTIP ("Restricted Shares") or 2018 RSA Plan expires or is forfeited in whole or in part, the unused Class B Common Shares covered by such awards shall again be available for the grant under the 2020 LTIP. Additionally, any Class B Common Shares delivered to the Company by a Participant to purchase additional Restricted Shares or to satisfy the applicable tax withholding obligations with respect to any Awards (including shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation) shall be added back to the number of shares available for the future grant of Awards under the 2020 LTIP.

------

***Maximum Entitlements Under the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan***

The Administrator may establish compensation for directors who are not employees of our Company or any of our Affiliates, as defined in the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan, or the Non-Employee Directors, from time to time, provided that the sum of any cash compensation and the grant date fair value of Awards granted under the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan to a non-employee director as compensation for services as a non-employee director during any calendar year may not exceed $250,000 for an annual grant, provided however that in a non-employee's director first year of service, compensation for services may not exceed $500,000. The Administrator may make exceptions to this limit for individual non-employee directors in extraordinary circumstances, as the Administrator may determine in its discretion, provided that the non-employee director receiving such additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award such compensation or in other compensation decisions involving non-employee director.

***Awards***

Awards may be granted individually or in tandem with other types of Awards, concurrently with or with respect to outstanding Awards. All Awards are subject to the terms and conditions provided in the Award Agreement, which shall be delivered to the Participant receiving such Award upon, or as promptly as is reasonably practicable following, the grant of such Award. Unless otherwise specified by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, or otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, an Award shall not be effective unless the Award Agreement is signed or otherwise accepted by IBEX and the Participant receiving the Award (including by electronic delivery and/or electronic signature). Participants are not required to pay for the application or acceptance of Awards.

*Share Options.* The board may grant awards entitling recipients to acquire share options ("Share Options"). A Share Option means a right to purchase a specified number of Common Shares from IBEX at a specified price during a specified period of time. The exercise price per share subject to a Share Option granted under the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan shall not be less than the fair market value of one share on the date of grant of the Share Option, except as provided under applicable law or with respect to Share Options that are granted in substitution of similar types of awards of a company acquired by our Company or with which our Company combines (whether in connection with a corporate transaction, such as a merger, combination, consolidation or acquisition of property or stock, or otherwise) to preserve the intrinsic value of such awards. The Administrator may from time to time grant to eligible individuals Awards of Incentive Share Options or Nonqualified Options; *provided, however,* that Awards of Incentive Share Options shall be limited to employees of IBEX or of any current or hereafter existing "parent corporation" or "subsidiary corporation," as defined in Sections 424(e) and 424(f) of the Code, respectively, of IBEX, and any other eligible individuals who are eligible to receive Incentive Share Options under the provisions of Section 422 of the Code. No Share Option shall be an Incentive Share Option unless so designated by the Administrator at the time of grant or in the applicable Award Agreement. Share Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Administrator; *provided, however,* that Awards of Share Options may not have a term in excess of ten years' duration unless required otherwise by applicable law. Except as provided in the applicable award agreement or otherwise determined by the Administrator, to the extent Share Options are not vested and exercisable, a participant's Share Options shall be forfeited upon his Termination of Service.

*Share Appreciation Rights.* The board may also grant awards of share appreciation rights. A share appreciation right entitles the Participant to receive, subject to the provisions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, a payment having an aggregate value equal to the product of (i) the excess of (A) the fair market value on the exercise date of one share of Common Share over (B) the base price per share specified in the applicable Award Agreement, times (ii) the number of shares specified by the share appreciation right, or portion thereof, which is exercised. The base price per share specified in the applicable Award Agreement shall not be less than the lower of the fair market value on the date of grant or the exercise price of any tandem share option to which the share appreciation right is related, or with respect to share appreciation rights that are granted in substitution of similar types of awards of a company acquired by the Company or a Subsidiary or with which the Company or a Subsidiary combines (whether in connection with a corporate transaction, such

------

as a merger, combination, consolidation or acquisition of property or share, or otherwise) such base price as is necessary to preserve the intrinsic value of such awards.

Share appreciation rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that share appreciation rights granted under the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan may not have a term in excess of ten years unless otherwise required by applicable law.

Except as provided in the applicable award agreement or otherwise determined by the Administrator, to the extent share appreciation rights are not vested and exercisable, a participant's share appreciation rights shall be forfeited upon his Termination of Service.

*Share Awards.* The Administrator may from time to time grant to Eligible Individuals Awards of unrestricted Common Share or Restricted Share (collectively, "*Share Awards*") on such terms and conditions, such as performance based on certain performance criteria, and for such consideration, including no consideration or such minimum consideration as the Administrator shall determine, subject to the limitations set forth in the 2020 LTIP. Share Awards shall be evidenced in such manner as the Administrator may deem appropriate, including via book-entry registration.

The board shall determine the terms and conditions of a Share Award, including the conditions for vesting and repurchase (or forfeiture) and the issue price, if any.

***Share Units***

The Administrator may, from time to time, grant to eligible individuals Awards of unrestricted share units or Restricted Share Units. For the purposes of the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan, "Restricted Share Unit" means a right granted to a participant to receive shares or cash at the end of a specified deferral period, which right may be conditioned on the satisfaction of certain requirements, including the satisfaction of certain performance goals.

Restricted Share Units shall be subject to such vesting, risk of forfeiture and/or payment provisions as the Administrator may impose at the date of grant. The Restriction Period to which such vesting and/or risk of forfeiture applies may lapse under such circumstances, including without limitation upon the attainment of performance goals, in such installments, or otherwise, as the Administrator may determine.

Until shares are issued to the participant in settlement of share units, the participant shall not have any rights of a shareholder with respect to the share units or the shares issuable thereunder. The Administrator may grant the participant the right to dividend equivalents on share units, on a current, reinvested and/or restricted basis, subject to such terms as the Administrator may determine; provided, however, that dividend equivalents declared payable on share units granted as a Performance Award shall rather than be paid on a current basis, be accrued and made subject to forfeiture at least until achievement of the applicable performance goal relating to such share units.

***Performance Shares and Performance Units***

An award of Performance Shares, as that term is used in the 2020 LTIP, refers to shares of our common stock or stock units that are expressed in terms of our common stock, the issuance, vesting, lapse of restrictions or payment of which is contingent on performance as measured against predetermined objectives over a specified performance period. An award of Performance Units, as that term is used in the 2020 LTIP, refers to dollar-denominated units valued by reference to designated criteria established by the administrator, other than our common stock, whose issuance, vesting, lapse of restrictions or payment is contingent on performance as measured against predetermined objectives over a specified performance period. The applicable award agreement will specify whether Performance Shares and Performance Units will be settled or paid in cash or

------

shares of our common stock or a combination of both, or will reserve to the administrator or the participant the right to make that determination prior to or at the payment or settlement date.

The Administrator will, prior to or at the time of grant, condition the grant, vesting or payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, an award of Performance Shares or Performance Units upon (A) the attainment of performance goals during a performance period or (B) the attainment of performance goals and the continued service of the participant. The length of the performance period, the performance goals to be achieved during the performance period, and the measure of whether and to what degree such performance goals have been attained will be conclusively determined by the Administrator in the exercise of its absolute discretion. Performance goals may include minimum, maximum and target levels of performance, with the size of the award or payout of Performance Shares or Performance Units or the vesting or lapse of restrictions with respect thereto based on the level attained. An award of Performance Shares or Performance Units will be settled as and when the award vests or at a later time specified in the award agreement or in accordance with an election of the participant, if the Administrator so permits, that meets the requirements of Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code.

Performance goals applicable to performance-based awards may be awarded based on performance metrics to be attained within a predetermined performance period as they may apply to an individual, one or more business units, divisions, or affiliates, or on a company-wide basis, and in absolute terms, relative to a base period, or relative to the performance of one or more comparable companies, peer groups, or an index covering multiple companies.

The Administrator may, in its discretion, adjust the performance goals applicable to any awards to reflect any unusual or non-recurring events and other extraordinary items, impact of charges for restructurings, discontinued operations and the cumulative effects of accounting or tax changes.

***Other Share-Based Awards***

The Administrator may, from time to time, grant to eligible individuals Awards in the form of Other Share-Based Awards. For the purposes of the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan, "Other Share-Based Award" means an Award of shares or any other Award that is valued in whole or in part by reference to, or that is otherwise based upon, shares, including without limitation dividend equivalents and convertible debentures.

***Adjustment Events***

In the event of a merger, amalgamation, consolidation, rights offering, statutory share exchange or similar event affecting our Company (each, a "Corporate Event"), or a share dividend, share split, reverse share split, separation, spinoff, reorganization, extraordinary dividend of cash or other property, share combination or subdivision or recapitalization or similar event affecting the capital structure of our Company (each, a "Share Change"), that occurs at any time after the Effective Date (including any such Corporate Event or Share Change that occurs after such adoption and coincident with or prior to the Effective Date), the Administrator shall make equitable and appropriate substitutions or proportionate adjustments to (a) the aggregate number and kind of shares or other securities on which Awards under the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan may be granted to eligible individuals, (b) the maximum number of shares or other securities with respect to which Awards may be granted during any one calendar year to any individual, (c) the maximum number of shares or other securities that may be issued with respect to incentive stock options granted under the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan, (d) the number of shares or other securities covered by each outstanding Award and the exercise price, base price or other price per share, if any, and other relevant terms of each outstanding Award and (e) all other numerical limitations relating to Awards, whether contained in the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan or in award agreements; provided, however, that any fractional shares resulting from any such adjustment shall be eliminated and that no such adjustment shall be made if as a result, the participant receives a benefit that a shareholder does not receive and any adjustment (except in relation to a capitalization issue) must be confirmed in writing by the auditors of our Company (acting as experts and not as arbitrators) to be, in their opinion, fair and reasonable.

In the case of Corporate Events, the Administrator may make such other adjustments to outstanding Awards

------

as it determines to be appropriate and desirable, which adjustments may include, without limitation, (a) the cancellation of outstanding Awards in exchange for payments of cash, securities or other property or a combination thereof having an aggregate value equal to the value of such Awards, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion (it being understood that in the case of a Corporate Event with respect to which shareholders receive consideration other than publicly traded equity securities of the ultimate surviving entity, any such determination by the Administrator that the value of a share option or share appreciation right shall for this purpose be deemed to equal the excess, if any, of the value of the consideration being paid for each share pursuant to such Corporate Event over the exercise price or base price of such share option or share appreciation right shall conclusively be deemed valid and that any share option or share appreciation right may be cancelled for no consideration upon a Corporate Event if its exercise price or base price equals or exceeds the value of the consideration being paid for each share pursuant to such Corporate Event), (b) the substitution of securities or other property (including, without limitation, cash or other securities of our Company and securities of entities other than our Company) for the shares subject to outstanding Awards and (c) the substitution of equivalent awards, as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator, of the surviving or successor entity or a parent thereof.

***Change in Control***

In the event of a change in control, as defined in the 2020 LTIP, of our Company, outstanding awards will terminate upon the effective time of the change in control unless provision is made for the continuation, assumption or substitution of awards by the surviving or successor entity or its parent. Unless an award agreement says otherwise, the following will occur with respect to awards that terminate in connection with a change in control of our Company:

<br> ● share options and share appreciation rights will become fully exercisable and holders of these awards will be permitted immediately before the change in control to exercise them;

● Restricted Shares and share units with time-based vesting (i.e., not subject to achievement of performance goals) will become fully vested immediately before the change in control, and share units will be settled as promptly as is practicable in accordance with applicable law; and

● Restricted Shares and share units that vest based on the achievement of performance goals will vest as if the performance goal for the unexpired performance period had been achieved at the target level; and the performance share units will be settled as promptly as is practicable in accordance with applicable law.

***Shareholder Rights***

Except as otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, and with respect to an award of Restricted Shares, a participant will have no rights as a shareholder with respect to common shares covered by any award until the participant becomes the record holder of such common shares.

***Amendment and Termination of 2020 LTIP***

Our board of directors may, at any time, amend or terminate the 2020 LTIP but no amendment or termination may be made that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any participant under any outstanding award, without his or her consent, except such an amendment made to comply with applicable law or rule of any securities exchange or market on which our shares are listed or admitted for trading or to prevent adverse tax or accounting consequences to our company or the participant. If required to comply with Bermuda law and any other applicable laws or stock exchange rules or the rules of any automated quotation systems (other than any requirement which may be disapplied by the Company following any available home country exemption), the Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any 2020 LTIP amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required.

------

***Amendment of Awards***

The Administrator may unilaterally amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted, but no such amendment shall materially impair the rights of any participant with respect to an Award without the participant's consent, except such an amendment made to cause the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan or Award to comply with applicable law, applicable rule of any securities exchange on which our shares of common stock are listed or admitted for trading, or to prevent adverse tax or accounting consequences for the participant or our company or any of our Affiliates. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, an amendment to an Award that results in a change in the tax consequences of the Award to the participant shall not be considered to be a material impairment of the rights of the participant and shall not require the participant's consent.

***Transferability***

Subject to certain limited exceptions, Awards under the 2020 LTIP may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution.

***Effective Date; Term***

The 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan will remain in effect, subject to the right of our Board or our Compensation Committee to amend or terminate the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan at any time, until the earlier of (a) the earliest date as of which all Awards granted under the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan have been satisfied in full or terminated and no shares approved for issuance under the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan remain available to be granted under new Awards, or (b) May 20, 2030. No Awards will be granted under the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan after such termination date. Subject to other applicable provisions of the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan, all Awards made under the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan on or before May 20, 2030, or such earlier termination of the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan, shall remain in effect until such Awards have been satisfied or terminated in accordance with the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan and the terms of such Awards.

**C. Board Practices**

**Board Composition and Election of Directors**

*Board Composition*

Our board of directors currently consists of eight members. Our bye-laws provide that our board of directors shall consist of up to ten directors, with such number to be determined by us at each annual general meeting. Our directors generally hold office for such terms as our shareholders may determine or, in the absence of such determination, until the next annual general meeting or until their successors are elected or appointed or their office is otherwise vacated.

Our directors currently serve on the board of directors pursuant to the voting provisions of our bye-laws, under which certain directors may be nominated by TRGI.

For additional information regarding our board of directors, see "Description of Share Capital—Election and Removal of Directors."

*Director Independence*

Our board of directors has undertaken a review of the independence of the directors and considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning such director's background, employment and affiliations, including family

------

relationships, our board of directors determined that Ms. Ballou-Aares and Beck and Messrs. Jones, Leone, and Kleisterlee, representing five of our eight directors, are "independent directors" as defined under the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market. In making these determinations, our board of directors considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with our company and all other facts and circumstances that our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our share capital by each non-employee director and the transactions involving them described in "Item 7B. Related Party Transactions."

We are a "controlled company" under the rules of Nasdaq because TRGI holds the right to appoint a majority of our board of directors pursuant to a provision in our bye-laws. See "Item 7A. Major Shareholders." We intend to rely upon the "controlled company" exception relating to the board of directors and committee independence requirements under the Nasdaq listing rules. Pursuant to this exception, we will be exempt from the rules that would otherwise require that our board of directors consist of a majority of independent directors and that our compensation committee and nominating and governance committee be composed entirely of independent directors. The "controlled company" exception does not modify the independence requirements for the audit committee, and we intend to comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules of Nasdaq, which require that our audit committee have a majority of independent directors, and exclusively independent directors within one year following the effective date of our registration statement.

**Board Committees**

We have an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. We have adopted a charter for each of these committees.

*Audit Committee*

Our audit committee consists of Ms. Ballou-Aares and Mr. Leone. Mr. Leone is the chair of the audit committee. Each member satisfies the independence requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market listing standards, and Mr. Leone qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert," as defined in Item 16A of Form 20-F and as determined by our board of directors. The audit committee oversees our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of our audited consolidated financial statements. The audit committee is responsible for, among other things:

<br> ● making recommendations to our board regarding the appointment by the shareholders at the general meeting of shareholders of our independent auditors;

<br> ● overseeing the work of the independent auditors, including resolving disagreements between management and the independent auditors relating to financial reporting;

<br> ● pre-approving all audit and non-audit services permitted to be performed by the independent auditors;

<br> ● reviewing the independence and quality control procedures of the independent auditors;

<br> ● discussing material off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements and obligations with management and the independent auditors;

<br> ● reviewing and approving all proposed related-party transactions;

<br> ● discussing the annual audited consolidated and statutory financial statements with management;

<br> ● annually reviewing and reassessing the adequacy of our audit committee charter;

● meeting separately with the independent auditors to discuss critical accounting policies, recommendations on internal control, the auditor's engagement letter and independence letter and other material written communications between the independent auditors and the management; and

<br> ● attending to such other matters as are specifically delegated to our audit committee by our board from time to time.

*Compensation Committee*

Our compensation committee consists of Messrs. Khaishgi, Jones and Keen. Mr. Khaishgi is the chair of the

------

compensation committee. The compensation committee assists the board in reviewing and approving or recommending our compensation structure, including all forms of compensation relating to our directors and management. Members of our management may not be present at any committee meeting while the compensation of our chief executive officer is deliberated. The compensation committee is responsible for, among other things:

<br> ● reviewing and approving the compensation, including equity compensation, change-of-control benefits and severance arrangements, of our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and such other members of our management as it deems appropriate;

<br> ● overseeing the evaluation of our management;

<br> ● reviewing periodically and making recommendations to our board with respect to any incentive compensation and equity plans, programs or similar arrangements; and

<br> ● attending to such other matters as are specifically delegated to our compensation committee by our board from time to time.

*Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee*

Our nominating and corporate governance committee consists of Messrs. Keen and Khaishgi. Mr. Khaishgi is the chair of the nominating and corporate governance committee. The nominating and corporate governance committee assists the board in selecting individuals qualified to become our directors and in determining the composition of the board and its committees. The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for, among other things:

<br> ● recommending to the board of directors persons to be nominated for election or re-election to the board at any meeting of the shareholders;

<br> ● overseeing the board of directors' annual review of its own performance and the performance of its committees; and

<br> ● considering, preparing and recommending to the board a set of corporate governance guidelines.

**Director's Service Contract**

Our subsidiary, Ibex Global Solutions, Inc., has entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Robert Dechant, one of our directors and Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to the agreement, subject to certain restrictions, if Mr. Dechant's employment is terminated, Mr. Dechant will be entitled to receive payment of his base salary and benefits for 12 months from the date of termination. Such salary and benefits payments may be reduced if Mr. Dechant obtains subsequent employment.

**Other Corporate Governance Matters**

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as related rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, requires foreign private issuers, including our company, to comply with various corporate governance practices. In addition, rules provide that foreign private issuers may follow home country practice in lieu of corporate governance standards, subject to certain exceptions and except to the extent that such exemptions would be contrary to U.S. federal securities laws.

We intend to take all actions necessary for us to maintain compliance as a foreign private issuer under the applicable corporate governance requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the rules adopted by the SEC and the Nasdaq listing standards.

Because we are a foreign private issuer, our directors and senior management are not subject to short-swing profit and insider trading reporting obligations under section 16 of the Exchange Act. They will, however, be subject to the obligations to report changes in share ownership under section 13 of the Exchange Act and related SEC rules.

------

As a foreign private issuer, we are also exempt from certain corporate governance standards applicable to U.S. issuers. For example, Section 5605(b)(1) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules requires listed companies to have, among other things, a majority of their board members be independent, and Section 5605(d) and 5605I require listed companies to have independent director oversight of executive compensation, nomination of directors and corporate governance matters. In addition, we are not required to maintain a minimum of three members on our audit committee or to affirmatively determine that all members of our audit committee are "independent" using more stringent criteria than those applicable to us as a foreign private issuer. As a foreign private issuer, however, we are permitted to follow Bermuda practice in lieu of the above requirements, under which there is no requirement that a majority of our directors be independent.

We have opted out of shareholder approval requirements for the issuance of securities in connection with certain events such as the acquisition of stock or assets of another company, the establishment of or amendments to equity-based compensation plans for employees, a change of control of us and certain private placements. To this extent, our practice varies from the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635, which generally requires an issuer to obtain shareholder approval for the issuance of securities in connection with such events.

**Code of Business Conduct and Ethics**

We have a code of business conduct and ethics applicable to our principal executive, financial and accounting officers and all persons performing similar functions. A copy of this code is available on our website at www.ibex.co. We expect that any amendments to the code, or any waivers of its requirements, will be disclosed on our website.

**Risk Oversight**

Our board of directors is currently responsible for overseeing our risk management process. The board of directors focuses on our general risk management strategy, the most significant risks facing the Company, and ensures that appropriate risk mitigation strategies are implemented by management. The board of directors is also apprised of particular risk management matters in connection with its general oversight and approval of corporate matters and significant transactions.

Our board of directors delegated to the audit committee oversight of our risk management process. Our other board committees will also consider and address risk as they perform their respective committee responsibilities. All committees will report to the full board of directors as appropriate, including when a matter rises to the level of a material or enterprise level risk.

Our management is responsible for day-to-day risk management. This oversight includes identifying, evaluating, and addressing potential risks that may exist at the enterprise, strategic, financial, operational, compliance and reporting levels.

**D. Employees**

Our employees are our most valuable asset. Our success depends on our ability to hire, train and retain sufficient numbers of agents and other employees in a timely fashion to meet our clients' needs. Our distinct culture and initiatives focused on employee recruitment, training, engagement and retention create a strong brand that helps us attract and retain talented employee and keep them highly engaged in delivering superior results and experiences for our clients.

As of June 30, 2022, we had 29,987 employees worldwide. The following table sets forth our employees by functional area:

------

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Function** | **Number of Employees** | **Percent of Total** |
| Production agents | 24195 | 80.7% |
| Production support | 3862 | 12.9% |
| Software engineers | 242 | 0.8% |
| Technology, telephony and network infrastructure | 379 | 1.3% |
| Data scientists and engineers | 69 | 0.2% |
| Sales and marketing | 98 | 0.3% |
| Digital advertising operations | 137 | 0.5 |
| Corporate (management, administration, finance, legal, human resources) | 1005 | 3.4% |
| **Total** | **29987** | **100.0%** |

---

None of our employees belong to a labor union and we have never suffered a material interruption of business as a result of a labor dispute. We consider our relations with our employees worldwide to be good.

*Culture*

We believe that we have established a strong workplace culture which is key to our ability to attract and retain our talented workforce around the globe. Our culture is built on four core values: respect, integrity, transparency and excellence. We strive to maintain a culture in which our leaders are coaches and mentors and our employees have a voice and sense of purpose and feel valued and respected. Furthermore, we believe we have established a distinctive corporate culture characterized by innovation, speed and organizational agility. We encourage strong teamwork, which enables our talented workforce to design and deliver innovative solutions to our clients around the globe to optimize their customer lifecycle experience.

*Recruitment*

To ensure we can attract qualified employees, we strive to offer a competitive benefits package, a strong workplace culture and working environment and most importantly, competitive compensation that either meets or exceeds marketplace standards. We deploy numerous tools that are effective in attracting employees. This includes working with local government workforce agencies in all geographies where we have a presence; doing this ensures we have a presence as a local employer in every market and ensures we are included in their career fairs and are recommended consistently. Additionally, we have a strong employee referral program, which encourages our current employees to recommend us to their family and friends. We have found this to be the greatest source of qualified individuals.

*Training and Coaching*

Our customer-facing agents typically go through one day of orientation and between one to seven weeks of foundation skills training. This includes customer specific training such as customer service training, technical or sales training. Once agents have completed product specific training, which can last up to 240 hours depending on the client and the application, they are put into an on-the-job experience (lasting from 40 to 80 hours), during which the agents take live calls and receive hands-on training, coaching and feedback. They also experience quality assurance (QA) monitoring and reinforcement. Once agents have been trained and are on the production floor, they receive consistent coaching and guidance. The coach plays the role of facilitator to fully empower the agents. Our coaching module equips the team managers with the necessary knowledge, skills and attitude required to be successful mentors. Team managers are then able to engage effectively with mentees to address any non-performance issues and ensure our employees feel valued and recognized.

*Employee Work Environment*

Our employee work environment is anchored by our distinct culture. In addition, we provide attractive, functional physical spaces. Our workspaces are bright and modern with several common areas for rest and recreation. Our centers reflect our culture's values with open areas for coaching and celebrating success. Our workstations

------

are ergonomically designed to provide maximum comfort to our employees. We consider our onsite dining options, nurse's stations and transportation services to be industry-leading. Furthermore, our technology is designed to enable the most efficient and productive work environment for our employees. Our intranet provides access to pertinent and valuable information regarding schedules, job opportunities and important company announcements. Our technological enhancements allow employees to view information regarding their individual and team results. Finally, our mobile apps and online systems allow the agents to manage their careers with us.

*Retention*

Our distinct culture, employee engagement, recruiting and training are all designed to ensure we retain our employees. As important as it is to work hard every day, we consider it as important to ensure we have time for rewarding exceptional performance, fun events, volunteering in the community and celebrating accomplishments together. In order to engender our employees' sense that they are an integral part and valued members of our company, we strive to recognize the important times in our employees' work life, including birthdays, birth of child and promotions. An example of our differentiated Employee Engagement program is our annual Very Important Performer event where we host the top 5% of our workforce in each of the markets in which we operate at a multi-day offsite event at a five-star resort where we celebrate their success. Our senior leadership participates in this important event, creating a bond between our leadership team and thousands of agents. This is one of our key programs to drive our industry-best retention rates and employee loyalty.

**E. Share ownership**

The total number of common shares beneficially owned by our directors and executive officers as of September 1, 2022 was 2,325,314 which represents 12.7% of the total shares of the Company. See table in "Item 7A. Major Shareholders."

**ITEM 7. MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

**A. Major Shareholders**

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common shares as of September 1, 2022 by:

<br> ● each of our directors;

<br> ● each of our executive officers;

<br> ● all of our directors and executive officers as a group; and

● each person, or group of affiliated persons, who is known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our common shares, and who are referred to as our major shareholders.

As of September 1, 2022, we had 18,247,999 issued and outstanding common shares, which includes 104,454 unvested restricted common shares. Beneficial ownership for the purposes of the following table is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These rules generally provide that a person is the beneficial owner of securities if such person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting thereof, or to dispose or direct the disposition thereof, to receive the economic benefit of ownership of the securities, or has the right to acquire such powers within 60 days. For purposes of calculating percentage ownership in the below table, common shares subject to options, restricted stock units, warrants or other convertible or exercisable securities that are currently convertible or exercisable or convertible or exercisable within 60 days of September 1, 2022 are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding such securities. Common shares issuable pursuant to share options or warrants are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of the person holding such options or warrants but are not outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person. To our knowledge, except as indicated in the footnotes to this table and pursuant to applicable community property laws, the persons named in the table have sole voting and

------

investment power with respect to all of our common shares. As of September 1, 2022, we had 126 holders of record in the United States with approximately 58.3% of our issued and outstanding common shares.

● incurrence, assumption or guarantee of incremental indebtedness (as measured from indebtedness existing on September 15, 2017) by us, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, in an amount greater than $5.0 million;

<br> ● commencement or settlement of any material litigation.

The Stockholder's Agreement further provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to section 97 of the Companies Act and our Bye-laws:

● TRGI and its partners, principals, directors, officers, members, managers, agents, employees and / or other representatives may directly or indirectly engage in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as us or any of our subsidiaries, including those lines of business deemed to be competing with us or any of our subsidiaries;

<br> ● TRGI, its affiliates and their respective partners, principals, directors, officers, members, managers, agents, employees and / or other representatives may employ or otherwise engage any of our officers or employees; and

<br> ● none of TRGI, its affiliates or their respective partners, principals, directors, officers, members, managers, agents, employees and / or other representatives shall have any duty to communicate or

------

offer any business opportunity that may be presented to TRGI or those other persons to us or shall be liable to us or any of our stockholders for breach of any fiduciary or other duty by reason of the fact that TRGI or such persons pursues that business opportunity, directs that business opportunity to another person or fails to present that business opportunity, or information regarding that business opportunity to us unless, in the case of any such person who is a director or officer of ours, that business opportunity is expressly offered to that director or officer in writing solely in his or her capacity as our director or officer.

In addition, the Stockholder's Agreement allows TRGI to disclose non-public information concerning us to existing and potential investors in TRGI or its affiliates, potential transferees of TRGI's equity interest in our parent company, potential participants in future transactions involving TRGI or its affiliates and other parties that TRGI deems reasonably necessary in connection with the conduct of its TRGI's investment and business activities, subject to any such recipient agreeing to keep that information confidential. The Stockholder's Agreement remains in effect until TRGI ceases to own 10% or more of all shares issued by us (determined on an as-converted basis).

***Registration Rights Agreements***

**D. Exchange Controls**

We have been designated by the BMA as a non-resident for Bermuda exchange control purposes. This designation allows us to engage in transactions in currencies other than the Bermuda dollar, and there are no restrictions on our ability to transfer funds (other than funds denominated in Bermuda dollars) in and out of Bermuda or to pay dividends to U.S. residents who are holders of our common shares.

The BMA has pursuant to its statement of June 1, 2005 given its general permission under the Bermuda Exchange Control Act 1972 (and its related regulations) for the issue and transfer of our common shares to and between non-residents of Bermuda for exchange control purposes, provided our common shares are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, or any other appointed stock exchange. This general permission would cease to apply if our common shares were to cease to be so listed and in such event specific permission would be required from the BMA for all issues and transfers of our common shares subject to certain exceptions set out in the BMA statement of June 1, 2005.

Accordingly, in giving such consent or permissions, neither the BMA nor the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda shall be liable for the financial soundness, performance or default of our business or for the correctness of any opinions or statements expressed in this annual report. Certain issues and transfers of common shares involving persons deemed resident in Bermuda for exchange control purposes require the specific consent of the BMA.

In accordance with Bermuda law, share certificates are only issued in the names of companies, partnerships or individuals. In the case of a shareholder acting in a special capacity (for example as a trustee), certificates may, at the request of the shareholder, record the capacity in which the shareholder is acting. Notwithstanding such recording of any special capacity, we are not bound to investigate or see to the execution of any such trust.

**E. Taxation**

**MATERIAL U.S. AND BERMUDA INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES**

The following discussion is a description of the material Bermuda and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our common shares. This discussion is not exhaustive of all possible tax considerations. In particular, this discussion does not address the tax consequences under state, local, and other national (e.g., non-Bermuda and non-U.S.) tax laws. Accordingly, we urge you to consult your own tax advisor regarding your particular tax circumstances and the tax consequences under state, local, and other national tax laws. The following discussion is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof in effect and available as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect.

**Bermuda Tax Consequences**

The following is a discussion of the material Bermuda tax consequences of an investment in our common shares. The following discussion is not exhaustive of all possible tax considerations. We urge you to consult your own tax advisor regarding your particular tax circumstances.

*Taxation of the Companies*

At the present time, there is no Bermuda income or profits tax, withholding tax, capital gains tax, capital transfer tax, estate duty or inheritance tax payable by us or by our shareholders in respect of our shares. We have received from the Minister of Finance of Bermuda under The Exempted Undertaking Tax Protection Act 1966, as amended, an assurance that, in the event that Bermuda enacts legislation imposing tax computed on profits,

------

income, any capital asset, gain or appreciation, or any tax in the nature of estate duty or inheritance, the imposition of any such tax shall not be applicable to us or to any of our operations or shares, debentures or other obligations, until March 31, 2035. The assurance does not exempt us from paying import duty on goods imported into Bermuda. In addition, all entities employing individuals in Bermuda are required to pay a payroll tax and there are other sundry taxes payable, directly or indirectly, to the Bermuda government. We and our subsidiaries incorporated in Bermuda pay annual government fees to the Bermuda government.

*Taxation of Holders*

Currently, there is no Bermuda income or profits tax, withholding tax, capital gains tax, capital transfer tax, estate duty or inheritance tax payable by our shareholders in respect of our common shares. The issue, transfer, or redemption of our common shares is not currently subject to stamp duty.

**U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences**

The following discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our common shares is based upon current law and does not purport to be a comprehensive discussion of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase our common shares. This summary is based on current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, existing, final, temporary and proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations, administrative rulings and judicial decisions, in each case, in effect and available on the date of this annual report. All of the foregoing are subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could affect the tax consequences described below.

This section describes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. holders, as defined below, of common shares. This discussion addresses only the U.S. federal income tax considerations for U.S. holders that acquire the common shares at their original issuance and hold the common shares as capital assets. This summary does not address all U.S. federal income tax matters that may be relevant to a particular U.S. holder.

**Each prospective investor should consult a professional tax advisor with respect to the tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership or disposition of the common shares**. This summary does not address tax considerations applicable to a holder of common shares that may be subject to special tax rules including, without limitation, the following:

<br> ● certain financial institutions;

<br> ● insurance companies;

<br> ● dealers or traders in securities, currencies, or notional principal contracts;

<br> ● tax-exempt entities;

<br> ● regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;

<br> ● persons that hold the common shares as part of a hedge, straddle, conversion, constructive sale or similar transaction involving more than one position;

<br> ● an entity classified as a partnership and persons that hold the common shares through partnerships or certain other pass-through entities;

<br> ● certain holders (whether individuals, corporations or partnerships) that are treated as expatriates for some or all U.S. federal income tax purposes;

<br> ● persons who acquired the common shares as compensation for the performance of services;

<br> ● persons holding the common shares in connection with a trade or business conducted outside of the U.S.;

<br> ● a U.S. holder who holds the common shares through a financial account at a foreign financial institution that does not meet the requirements for avoiding withholding with respect to certain payments under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code;

● holders that own (or are deemed to own) 10% or more of our shares by vote or value; and

<br> ● holders that have a "functional currency" other than the U.S. dollar.

------

Further, this discussion does not address alternative minimum, gift or estate tax consequences or the indirect effects on the holders of equity interests in entities that own our common shares. In addition, this discussion does not consider the U.S. tax consequences to holders of common shares that are not "U.S. holders" (as defined below).

For the purposes of this discussion, a "U.S. holder" is a beneficial owner of common shares that is (or is treated as), for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

<br> ● an individual who is either a citizen or resident of the U.S.;

<br> ● a corporation, or other entity that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the U.S. or any state of the U.S. or the District of Columbia;

<br> ● an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

● a trust, if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of the substantial decisions of such trust or the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person within the meaning of the Code.

If a partnership holds common shares, the tax treatment of a partner and such partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership.

We will not seek a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") with regard to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of an investment in our common shares, and we cannot assure you that that the IRS will agree with the conclusions set forth below.

*Distributions*

Subject to the discussion under "*Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations*" below, the gross amount of any distribution actually or constructively received by a U.S. holder with respect to common shares will be taxable to the U.S. holder as a dividend to the extent of such U.S. holder's pro rata share of our current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of such pro rata share of our earnings and profits will be non-taxable to the U.S. holder to the extent of, and will be applied against and reduce, the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in the common shares. Distributions in excess of the sum of such pro rata share of our earnings and profits and such adjusted tax basis will generally be taxable to the U.S. holder as capital gain from the sale or exchange of property. However, since we do not calculate our earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles, it is expected that any distribution will be reported as a dividend, even if that distribution would otherwise be treated as a non-taxable return of capital or as capital gain under the rules described above. The amount of any distribution of property other than cash will be the fair market value of that property on the date of distribution. A corporate U.S. holder will not be eligible for any dividends-received deduction in respect of a dividend received with respect to our common shares.

While we do not currently plan to pay any dividends, the currency of any dividends that we may pay is subject to future determination. If we pay any such dividends in a currency other than U.S. dollars (a "foreign currency"), the amount of a distribution paid to a U.S. holder in a foreign currency will be the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency calculated by reference to the spot exchange rate on the day the U.S. holder actually or constructively receives the distribution, regardless of whether the foreign currency is converted into U.S. dollars at that time. Any foreign currency gain or loss a U.S. holder realizes on a subsequent conversion of foreign currency into U.S. dollars will be U.S. source ordinary income or loss. If dividends received in a foreign currency are converted into U.S. dollars on the day they are actually or constructively received, a U.S. holder should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend.

Under the Code and subject to the discussion below under "Medicare Tax," qualified dividends received by non-corporate U.S. holders (*i.e.,* individuals and certain trusts and estates) are currently subject to a maximum

------

income tax rate of 20%. This reduced income tax rate is applicable to dividends paid by "qualified foreign corporations" to such non-corporate U.S. holders that meet the applicable requirements, including a minimum holding period (generally, at least 61 days without protection from the risk of loss during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date). A non-U.S. corporation (other than a corporation that is classified as a passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year) generally will be considered to be a qualified foreign corporation: (a) if it is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive tax treaty with the U.S. which the Secretary of the Treasury of the U.S. determines is satisfactory for purposes of this provision and which includes an exchange of information provision; or (b) with respect to any dividend it pays on shares of stock which are readily tradable on an established securities market in the U.S. Our common shares are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, which has been determined to be an established securities market in the U.S. Based on the foregoing, we are considered a qualified foreign corporation under the Code. Accordingly, dividends paid by us to non-corporate U.S. holders with respect to shares that meet the minimum holding period and other requirements are expected to be treated as "qualified dividend income." However, dividends paid by us will not qualify for the 20% maximum U.S. federal income tax rate if we are treated, for the tax year in which the dividends are paid or the preceding tax year, as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as discussed below.

Dividends received by a U.S. holder with respect to common shares generally will be treated as foreign source income for the purposes of calculating that holder's foreign tax credit limitation. For this purpose, dividends distributed by us generally will constitute "passive category income" (but, in the case of some U.S. holders, may constitute "general category income").

*Sale or Other Disposition of Common Shares*

A U.S. holder will generally recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the sale or exchange of common shares in an amount equal to the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the amount realized from such sale or exchange and the U.S. holder's tax basis for those common shares. Subject to the discussion under "Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations" below, this gain or loss will generally be a capital gain or loss and will generally be treated as from sources within the U.S. Such capital gain or loss will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder has held the common shares for more than one year at the time of the sale or exchange. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate holders may be eligible for a preferential tax rate; the deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

*Medicare Tax*

An additional 3.8% tax ("Medicare Tax") is imposed on all or a portion of the "net investment income" (which includes taxable dividends and net capital gains, adjusted for deductions properly allocable to such dividends or net capital gains) received by: (i) U.S. holders that are individuals with modified adjusted gross income of over $200,000 ($250,000 in the case of joint filers, $125,000 in the case of married individuals filing separately); and (ii) certain trusts or estates.

*Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations*

A corporation organized outside the U.S. generally will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes in any taxable year in which, after applying the applicable look-through rules, either: (i) at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or (ii) on average at least 50% of the gross value of its assets is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. In arriving at this calculation, a pro rata portion of the income and assets of each corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least a 25% interest, as determined by the value of such corporation, must be taken into account. Passive income for this purpose generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents and gains from commodities and securities transactions. We believe that we were not a PFIC for any previous taxable year. Based on our estimated gross income, the average value of our gross assets, and the nature of the active businesses conducted by our "25% or greater" owned subsidiaries, we do not believe that we will be classified as a PFIC in the current taxable year and do not expect to become one in any taxable year in the foreseeable

------

future. However, our status for any taxable year will depend on our assets and activities in each year, and because this is a factual determination made annually after the end of each taxable year, there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. The market value of our assets may be determined in large part by reference to the market price of our common shares, which is likely to fluctuate (and may fluctuate considerably given that market prices of technology companies have been especially volatile). In addition, the composition of our income and assets will be affected by how, and how quickly, we spend the cash we raised in our initial public offering. If we were a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. holder held common shares, under the "default PFIC regime" (i.e., in the absence of one of the elections described below), gain recognized by the U.S. holder on a sale or other disposition (including a pledge) of the common shares would be allocated ratably over the U.S. holder's holding period for the common shares. The amounts allocated to the taxable year of the sale or other disposition and to any year before we became a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to each other taxable year would be subject to tax at the highest rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as appropriate, for that taxable year, and an interest charge would be imposed on the resulting tax liability for that taxable year. Similar rules would apply to the extent any distribution in respect of common shares exceeds 125% of the average of the annual distributions on common shares received by a U.S. holder during the preceding three years or the holder's holding period, whichever is shorter.

In the event we were treated as a PFIC, the tax consequences under the default PFIC regime described above could be avoided by either a "mark -to-market" or "qualified electing fund," or QEF, election. A U.S. holder making a mark-to-market election (if the eligibility requirements for such an election were satisfied) generally would not be subject to the PFIC rules discussed above, except with respect to any portion of the holder's holding period that preceded the effective date of the election. Instead, the electing holder would include in ordinary income, for each taxable year in which we were a PFIC, an amount equal to any excess of (a) the fair market value of the common shares as of the close of such taxable year over (b) the electing holder's adjusted tax basis in such common shares. In addition, an electing holder would be allowed a deduction in an amount equal to the lesser of: (a) the excess, if any, of (i) the electing holder's adjusted tax basis in the common shares over (ii) the fair market value of such common shares as of the close of such taxable year; or (b) the excess, if any, of (i) the amount included in ordinary income because of the election for prior taxable years over (ii) the amount allowed as a deduction because of the election for prior taxable years. The election would cause adjustments in the electing holder's tax basis in the common shares to reflect the amount included in gross income or allowed as a deduction because of the election. In addition, upon a sale or other taxable disposition of common shares, an electing holder would recognize ordinary income or loss (not to exceed the excess, if any, of (a) the amount included in ordinary income because of the election for prior taxable years over (b) the amount allowed as a deduction because of the election for prior taxable years).

Alternatively, a U.S. holder making a valid and timely QEF election generally would not be subject to the default PFIC regime discussed above. Instead, for each PFIC year to which such an election applied, the electing holder would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the electing holder's pro rata share of our net capital gain and ordinary earnings for that year, regardless of whether such amounts were actually distributed to the electing holder. Although we currently intend to make available the information necessary to permit a U.S. holder to make a valid QEF election for any taxable year that we determine we are treated as a PFIC, there can be no assurance that we will continue to do so in future years.

If we are considered a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year, a U.S. holder may be required to file annual information returns for such year, whether or not the U.S. holder disposed of any common shares or received any distributions in respect of common shares during such year.

*Backup Withholding and Information Reporting*

U.S. holders generally will be subject to information reporting requirements with respect to dividends on common shares and on the proceeds from the sale, exchange or disposition of common shares that are paid within the U.S. or through U.S.-related financial intermediaries, unless the U.S. holder is an "exempt recipient." In addition, U.S. holders may be subject to backup withholding (currently at a 24% rate) on such payments,

------

unless the U.S. holder provides a taxpayer identification number and a duly executed IRS Form W-9 or otherwise establishes an exemption. Backup withholding is not an additional tax, and the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. holder's U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

*Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA") and Related Provisions*

Under certain circumstances, the company or its paying agent may be required, pursuant to the FATCA provisions of the Code (or analogous provisions of non-U.S. law) and regulations or pronouncements thereunder, any "intergovernmental agreement" entered into pursuant to those provisions or any U.S. or non-U.S. fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules, guidance, notes or practices adopted pursuant to any such agreement, to withhold U.S. tax at a rate of 30% on all or a portion of payments of dividends or other corporate distributions which are treated as "foreign passthrough payments" made on or after the date that is two years after the date of publication in the Federal Register of final regulations defining the term "foreign passthrough payment," if such payments are not exempt from such withholding. The company believes, and this discussion assumes, that the company is not a "foreign financial institution" for purposes of FATCA. The rules regarding FATCA and "foreign passthrough payments," including the treatment of proceeds from the disposition of common shares, are not completely clear, and further guidance may be issued by the IRS that would clarify how FATCA might apply to dividends or other amounts paid on or with respect to common shares.

*Specified Foreign Financial Assets*

Certain individual U.S. holders that own "specified foreign financial assets" with an aggregate value in excess of US$50,000 on the last day of the tax year or more than US$75,000 at any time during the tax year are generally required to file an information statement along with their tax returns, currently on IRS Form 8938, with respect to such assets. "Specified foreign financial assets" include any financial accounts held at a non-U.S. financial institution, as well as securities issued by a non-U.S. issuer that are not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions. Higher reporting thresholds apply to certain individuals living abroad and to certain married individuals. Regulations extend this reporting requirement to certain entities that are treated as formed or availed of to hold direct or indirect interests in specified foreign financial assets based on certain objective criteria. U.S. holders who fail to report the required information could be subject to substantial penalties. In addition, the statute of limitations for assessment of tax would be suspended, in whole or part. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning the application of these rules to their investment in the common shares, including the application of the rules to their particular circumstances.

**Initial Public Offering**

In August 2020, we sold 3,571,429 common shares, each with a par value of $0.000111650536, in our initial public offering and TRGI, our largest shareholder, sold 1,190,476 common shares at a public offering price of $19.00 per share as part of the same offering. The net offering proceeds to us, before expenses, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions were approximately $63.1 million. The offering commenced on August 7, 2020 and did not terminate before all of the securities registered in the registration statement were sold (other than the common shares subject to the underwriters' 30-day option to purchase additional shares). The effective date of the registration statement, File No. 333-239821, for our initial public offering of common shares was August 6, 2020, which was after the ending date of the reporting period covered by this annual report on Form 20-F. Citigroup and RBC Capital Markets acted as joint book- running managers of the offering and as representatives of the several underwriters named in the underwriting agreement.

$1.6 million of the net proceeds from our initial public offering has been used to pay deal related expenses. The balance is held in cash and cash equivalents and is intended to be used to build out additional facilities as well as expand existing facilities, invest in upgraded support systems that improve our internal employee management and real time financial reporting, and/or to repay high interest debt. None of the net proceeds of our initial public offering were paid directly or indirectly to any director, officer, or persons owning ten percent or more of our common shares, or to any of our related parties.

| **ITEM 15.** | **CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES** |

---

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as this term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer recognize that these controls, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of

------

these controls will be met.

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2022.

**Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) and for the assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, (iii) provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors, and (iv) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria established in "Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). As a result of this assessment, our management has determined that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2022.

Our management continues to evaluate and improve the internal control environment, including our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting.

**Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(d), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that occurred during the period covered by this annual report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Business—If we are unable to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, our results of operations and the price of our common shares could be adversely affected."

**ITEM 16A. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT**

Our Board has determined that Mr. John Leone is an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 16A of Form 20-F and as determined by our board of directors. Mr. Leone is independent as such term is defined in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and under the listing standards of the Nasdaq Global Market.

------

**ITEM 16B. CODE OF ETHICS**

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that is applicable to all of the directors, executives, employees and independent contractors of IBEX and our subsidiaries. A copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on our website at *www.ibex.co*. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the board of directors is responsible for overseeing the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and must approve any amendments or modifications thereof. The board of directors (in the case of a violation by a director or executive officer) or the Legal Department (in case of a violation by any other person) may in its discretion, waive a violation of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. We expect that any amendments to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, or any waivers of its requirements, will be disclosed on our website.

**ITEM 16C. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES**

BDO served as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2021. Deloitte has served as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2022. Our accountants' fees for professional services are as follows:

---

| Audit-related Fees |  |  |
| Tax Fees |  |  |
| Other Fees |  |  |
| Total fees and services | $992000 | 1979654 |

---

"Audit Fees" are the aggregate fees for the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements and annual statutory financial statements, reviews of interim financial statements, review of our registration statement, and related consents.

"Audit-related Fees" are the aggregate fees for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit and are not reported under Audit Fees.

"Tax Fees" are the aggregate fees for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning related services.

"Other Fees" are any additional amounts for products and services provided by the principal accountant.

There were no "Audit-related Fees," or "Tax Fees," or "Other Fees" during the fiscal years 2022 or 2021.

Our audit committee has adopted a pre-approval policy for the engagement of our independent accountant to perform certain audit and non-audit services.

**ITEM 16D. EXEMPTION FROM THE LISTING STANDARDS FOR AUDIT COMMITTEES**

Not applicable.

**ITEM 16E. PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES BY THE ISSUER AND AFFILIATED PURCHASERS**

On December 8, 2021, we announced that our board of directors had authorized the repurchase of up to $20 million of our common stock.

Our proposed repurchases may be made from time to time through open market transactions at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades and/or through other legally permissible

------

means, depending on the market conditions and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. The actual timing, number, and dollar amount of repurchase transactions will be determined by management at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the market price of our common shares, general market and economic conditions, and compliance with Rule 10b-18 and/or Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

Our board of directors will review the repurchase program periodically and may authorize adjustment of its terms and size or suspend or discontinue the program. We expect to fund the repurchases under this program with our existing cash balance.

The repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common shares, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at our discretion.

**ITEM 16F. CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT**

On October 28, 2021, BDO LLP ("BDO") resigned, at the request of the Company, as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. On that same date, the Company appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022, which was subsequently ratified at the annual general meeting of shareholders of the Company on March 16, 2022.

The information required to be disclosed pursuant to this Item 16F was previously reported on Form 6-K, filed with the SEC on October 29, 2021.

**ITEM 16G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE**

As a "foreign private issuer," as defined by the SEC, we are permitted to follow home country corporate governance practices, instead of certain corporate governance practices required by the Nasdaq Global Market for U.S. domestic issuers. While we intend to follow most Nasdaq Global Market corporate governance listing standards, we follow Bermuda corporate governance practices in lieu of Nasdaq Global Market corporate governance listing standards as follows:

<br> ● Exemption from the requirement to have a compensation committee comprised solely of independent members of the board of directors;

● Exemption from quorum requirements applicable to meetings of shareholders. Such quorum requirements are not required under Bermuda law. In accordance with generally accepted business practice, our amended and restated articles of association provide alternative quorum requirements that are generally applicable to meetings of shareholders;

------

● Exemption from the Nasdaq Global Market corporate governance listing standards applicable to domestic issuers requiring disclosure within four business days of any determination to grant a waiver of the code of business conduct and ethics to directors and officers. Although we will require board approval of any such waiver, we may choose not to disclose the waiver in the manner set forth in the Nasdaq Global Market corporate governance listing standards, as permitted by the foreign private issuer exemption; and

<br> ● Exemption from the requirement to obtain shareholder approval for certain issuances of securities, including shareholder approval of share option plans.

We intend to take all actions necessary for us to maintain compliance as a foreign private issuer under the applicable corporate governance requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the rules adopted by the SEC and the Nasdaq corporate governance rules and listing standards. Because we are a foreign private issuer, our directors and senior management are not subject to short-swing profit and insider trading reporting obligations under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. They are, however, subject to the obligations to report changes in share ownership under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and related SEC rules.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM** 

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of IBEX Limited

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of IBEX Limited and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2022, the related consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity, and cash flows, for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

**Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern for at least a period of twelve months from the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company's assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

During fiscal year 2022, the Company incurred non-recurring expenses due to COVID-19 (the Pandemic) of $1.6 million, primarily in the form of transportation expenses. The Company believes that its liquidity and operating cash flow will be sufficient to absorb additional costs for a period of at least 12 months from date of approval of the consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 24 for more information on the Company's capital risk management practices.

We believe that the Pandemic continues to present risks and opportunities for our business. Any weakening of the economy, including but not limited to, the Pandemic, rising global inflation, or rising interest rates, could have an impact on consumer demand for goods and services, thus impacting demand from consumer-facing businesses for customer support. On the other hand, our client base has a heavy preponderance of companies

that either provide online services, are enablers of the online economy, or are inflation resistant (such as healthcare providers), and are likely to see continued demand for their services despite these global economic uncertainties.

In August 2020, we detected a ransomware attack that briefly impacted a portion of our information technology systems. At no time did the attack impact our business operations or accounting systems, but the unauthorized access included the exfiltration of certain non- production data files from a file server in our backup data center. In conjunction with our containment activities, we launched an investigation, notified our insurance broker and carrier, and engaged an incident response team and cybersecurity forensics firm. In March 2022, a class action lawsuit was filed against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia alleging plaintiffs' personal information was exposed as a result of the ransomware incident. In July 2022, the parties agreed to a preliminary settlement, which is subject to Court approval and will be fully covered by available insurance. Through the date of issuance of these financial statements, this incident has not had a material financial impact on our business, however we may incur losses associated with claims by third parties, as well as fines, penalties and other sanctions imposed by regulators relating to or arising from the incident, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations in future periods.

The Company's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the Company should be able to operate within the level of its current monetary facilities and plans. Management therefore has a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue its operational existence for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements, and have therefore adopted the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of these consolidated financial statements.

The Group is comprised of the Holding Company and the following direct subsidiaries with the location (country of incorporation and principal place of business), nature of business and ownership percentage:

**2.** **BASIS OF PREPARATION**

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **2.1.** | **Statement of compliance** |

---

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards and Interpretations (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

**IBEX Limited**

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all of the years presented.

These consolidated financial statements do not include any information or disclosures that, not requiring presentation due to their qualitative significance, have been determined as immaterial or of no relevance pursuant to the concepts of materiality or relevance defined in the IFRS conceptual framework, insofar as the Group's consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, are concerned. All amounts are presented in thousands of dollars, unless otherwise indicated, rounded to the nearest $1,000.

**2.2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Basis of measurement**

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost convention, except as otherwise disclosed, and assuming that the Group will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, right of use assets were bifurcated from property, plant, & equipment on the statement of financial position to conform to the current year presentation. Further, the property and equipment table disclosure in footnote 6 has been updated to reflect only owned assets. These changes have no impact on previously reported financial position, net income, or cash flows.

**2.3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Functional and presentation currency**

As noted in Note 25.1, the Group generates approximately 97% of its revenue from clients based in the United States of America, which is denominated in United States Dollars (US$ or USD). However, the Group conducts transactions in multiple currencies to carry out its business in various other jurisdictions as needed. The consolidated financial statements are presented in US$, which is the Holding Company's functional and presentation currency. Amounts are rounded to the nearest thousands of US$, unless otherwise stated.

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into USD at the exchange rate at the end of the previous month-end. Monetary items in the statement of financial position are translated at the closing rate at each reporting date and the relevant translation adjustments are recognized in the financial result.

**2.4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Critical accounting estimates and judgments**

These consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with IFRS as issued by the IASB, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods. Accounting estimates require the use of significant management assumptions and judgments as to future events, and the effect of those events cannot be predicted with certainty. The accounting estimates will change as new events occur, more experience is acquired and more information is obtained. We evaluate and update our assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis and use outside experts to assist in that evaluation when we deem necessary.

In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, management has made the following estimates and judgments which are significant to the consolidated financial statements:

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

*Critical accounting estimates*

<br> ● Impairment of intangibles

Goodwill: The calculation for considering the impairment of the carrying amount of goodwill requires a comparison of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated, to the value of goodwill and the associated assets in the consolidated statement of financial position. The calculation of recoverable amount requires an estimate of the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash generating unit. Judgment is applied in selection of a suitable discount rate and terminal value. The key assumptions made in relation to the impairment of goodwill are set out in Note 4.

Indefinite Lived Intangibles (patent and trademarks): The indefinite lived intangibles are tested for impairment by comparing their carrying amount to the estimates of their fair value based on estimates of discounted cash flow method. In those instances where the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell), the asset is written down accordingly. For more information see Note 5.

<br> ● Impairment of financial assets

The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses using a lifetime expected credit loss provision for trade receivables and contract assets. To measure expected credit losses on a collective basis, trade receivables and contract assets are grouped based on similar credit risk and aging. The contract assets have similar risk characteristics to the trade receivables for similar types of contracts. For more information see Note 22.2.

<br> ● Depreciation and amortization

Estimation of useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets: The Group estimates the useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets based on the period over which the assets are expected to be available for use. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed periodically and are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits on the use of the assets. For more information see Note 5 and 6.

<br> ● Market value of common shares / fair market value of warrants

The Company is listed on a public marketplace (Nasdaq) as of June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2021, and as such, has used the Black-Scholes valuation model to calculate the fair value of the share options/awards on the grant date and to calculate the fair value of warrants. The calculation of fair value includes the price per share, expected term, expected volatility, expected dividends and the risk-free interest rate.

As the Company was not listed on a public marketplace as of June 30, 2020, the calculation of the market value of its common shares is subject to a greater degree of estimation in determining the basis for any share awards that the Company may issue.

For purposes of determining the historical share- based compensation expense, the Company used the Monte Carlo simulation to calculate the fair value of the restricted stock awards (the "RSAs") on the grant date as the Company was not listed on a public marketplace. The determination of the grant date fair value of the RSAs using a pricing model is affected by estimates and assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include the estimated fair value of the common shares, the expected price volatility

------

**IBEX Limited**

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

of the common shares over the expected term of the RSAs and exercise and cancellation behaviors, each of which are estimated as follows:

<br> ● Fair value of the Company's common shares: As the Company's common shares are not publicly traded as of June 30, 2020, the Company must estimate the fair value of the common shares, as discussed in "Valuations of Common Shares" below.

● Volatility: Since there is no trading history for the Company's common shares as of June 30, 2020, the expected price volatility for the common shares was estimated using the average historical volatility of the shares of our industry peers as of the grant date of the Company's RSAs over a period of history commensurate with the expected life of the awards. To the extent that volatility of the share price increases in the future, the estimates of the fair value of the awards to be granted in the future could increase, thereby increasing share-based payment expense in future periods. When making the selection of the industry peers to be used in measuring implied volatility of the RSAs, the Company considered the similarity of their products and business lines, as well as their stage of development, size and financial leverage. The Company intends to continue to consistently apply this process using the same or similar public companies until a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of the Company's own share price becomes available, or unless circumstances change such that the identified companies are no longer similar to the Company, in which case, more suitable companies whose share prices are publicly available would be utilized in the calculation.

● Expected life of the RSAs: The Company calculated the weighted-average expected life of the RSAs to be four years based on management's best estimates regarding the effect of vesting schedules. RSAs granted may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution.

Valuations of Common Shares

Given the absence of an active market for the Company's common shares as of June 30, 2020, the Company was required to estimate the fair value of its common shares at the time of each grant. The Company considered objective and subjective factors in determining the estimated fair value of its common shares on each RSA grant date. Factors considered by the Company included the following:

<br> ● third-party valuations of the Company's common shares;

<br> ● the lack of marketability of Company's common shares;

<br> ● the Company's historical and projected operating and financial performance;

<br> ● the Company's introduction of new services;

<br> ● the Company's stage of development;

<br> ● the global economic outlook and its expected impact on the business;

<br> ● the market performance of comparable companies; and

<br> ● the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event for the common shares underlying the awards, such as an initial public offering or sale of the Company, given prevailing market conditions.

The Company determined valuations of its common shares for purposes of granting awards through a two-step valuation process described below. The Company first estimated the value of its equity. The Company utilized the income and market approaches to estimate its equity value. Then, the Company's equity value was allocated across the Company's various equity securities to arrive at a value for the common shares. The income approach, which relies on a discounted cash flow ("DCF") analysis, measures the value of a company

------

**IBEX Limited**

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

as the present value of its future economic benefits by applying an appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate to expected cash flows, based on forecasts of revenue and costs.

The Company used two forms of the market approach to determine a fair market value for its equity: (i) the guideline public company method (the "GPCM"), and (ii) the merger and acquisition method (the "MAM").

The GPCM involves the review of pricing and performance information for public companies deemed generally similar to a subject company and subject to similar industry dynamics. The MAM consists of a review of transactions involving similar companies over the last five years. The valuation conclusion was based on the income approach (using DCF analysis), GPCM, and MAM. The Company assigned more weight to the DCF as it better reflected the Company's operations and placed less weight to the GPCM and MAM. More specifically, less weight was assigned to the MAM as compared to the GPCM given the limited number of transactions involving comparable companies, which made the MAM less meaningful relative to the GPCM.

For each valuation report, the Company first prepared a financial forecast to be used in the computation of the enterprise value using the income approach. The financial forecasts took into account our past experience and future expectations. Second, the risks associated with achieving these forecasts were assessed in selecting the appropriate discount rate. There is inherent uncertainty in these estimates. Third, the Company allocated the resulting equity value among the securities that comprise our capital structure. The aggregate value of the common shares was then divided by the number of common shares outstanding to arrive at the per share value.

Since the fair value of the Company's common shares has been determined partially by using the DCF analysis, the valuations have been heavily dependent on the Company estimates of revenue, costs and related cash flows. These estimates are highly subjective and may change frequently based on both new operating data as well as various macroeconomic conditions that impact the Company's business. Each of the valuations was prepared using data that was consistent with the Company's then-current operating plans that the Company was using to manage its business.

In addition, the DCF calculations are sensitive to highly subjective assumptions that the Company was required to make relating to its financial forecasts and the selection of an appropriate discount rate, which was based on the Company's estimated cost of equity.

The Company's discount rate was determined based on the stage of development at each valuation date and was quantified based on a risk-free discount rate for government debt, capital markets risk, the Company's sector and size.

The Company granted 2,373,374 restricted share awards at a fair value of $0.61 per restricted common share in December 2018. The fair value of the restricted common shares was based on a Monte Carlo simulation, which can be considered a form of the probability weighted expected return method ("PWERM"), using an equity value as determined via the income approach (present value of discounted cash flows) and the market approaches (guideline public company method and mergers and acquisition method).

On December 22, 2018, the preference shares were entitled to an aggregate of $149.2 million in participating and non-participating preference. This amount was significantly higher than the fair value of the Company as determined by the Board of Directors as of November 30, 2018 on the basis of the independent valuation referred to in the previous paragraph. Because the common shares are not entitled to any distribution until the applicable preferences are satisfied, the fair value of the common shares was significantly lower than the fair value of the preference shares on November 30, 2018.

<br> ● Legal provisions:

The Group reviews outstanding legal cases following developments in the legal proceedings and at each reporting date, in order to assess the need for provisions and disclosures in the audited consolidated financial statements. Among the factors considered in making decisions on provisions are the nature of litigation, claim or assessment, the legal process and potential level of damages in the jurisdiction in which the litigation, claim or assessment has been brought, the progress of the case (including the progress after the date of the audited consolidated financial statements but before those statements are issued), the opinions or views of legal advisers, experience on similar cases and any decision of the Group's management as to how it will respond to the litigation, claim or assessment. Refer to Note 16.

*Judgments*

<br> ● Leases:

In some cases, judgment may be required in determining whether a contract contains a lease. This assessment involves the exercise of judgment about whether it depends on a specific lease, whether the Group obtains substantially all the economic benefits from the use of that asset and whether the Group has the right to direct the use of that asset. In addition, determining the lease term, the Group considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain (in accordance with lease contracts) to be extended (or not terminated).

The lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If the implicit rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses an incremental borrowing rate specific to the country, term and currency of the contract. See Note 6.2 for further information.

<br> ● Staff retirement plans:

The net defined benefit pension scheme assets or liabilities are recognized in the Group's consolidated statement of financial position. The determination of the position requires assumptions to be made regarding future salary increases, mortality, discount rates and inflation. The key assumptions made in relation to the pension plans are set out in Note 14.1.

<br> ● Share-based payments:

The share-based payments expense is recognized in the Group's consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (loss). The key assumptions made in relation to the share-based payments are set out in Note 19.

<br> ● Provision for taxation:

The Group is subject to income tax in several jurisdictions and significant judgment is required in determining the provision for current and deferred income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. As a result, the Company recognizes tax liabilities based on estimates of whether additional taxes and interest will be due. Although the Group believes that its tax positions are supportable, these tax positions could still be challenged by the tax authorities upon review. The Company believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open audit years based on its assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law.

------

**IBEX Limited**

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

Management evaluates the recoverability of deferred income tax assets by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including reversal of taxable temporary differences, forecasted operating earnings and available tax planning strategies, which heavily rely on estimates.

This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of complex judgments about future events. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will impact current and deferred income tax expense in the period in which such determination is made.

The key assumptions made in relation to tax provisioning are set out in Note 18.

**3.** **SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **3.1.** | **Basis of consolidation** |

---

The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Holding Company and its subsidiaries as if they formed a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.

Where the Company has control over an investee, it is classified as a subsidiary. The Company controls an investee if all three of the following elements are present:

<br> ● power over the investee,

<br> ● exposure to variable returns from the investee, and

<br> ● the ability of the investor to use its power to affect those variable returns.

Control is reassessed whenever facts and circumstances indicate that there may be a change in any of these elements of control.

De-facto control exists in situations where the Company has the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee without holding the majority of the voting rights. In determining whether de-facto control exists the Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances, including:

<br> ● The size of the company's voting rights relative to both the size and dispersion of other parties who hold voting rights

<br> ● Substantive potential voting rights held by the Company and by other parties

<br> ● Other contractual arrangements

<br> ● Historic patterns in voting attendance

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the acquisition method. In the consolidated statement of financial position, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognized at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (loss) from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date on which control ceases.

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

***Joint arrangements***

The Group is a party to a joint arrangement when there is a contractual arrangement that confers joint control over the relevant activities of the arrangement to the Group and at least one other party. Joint control is assessed under the same principles as control over subsidiaries.

The group classifies its interests in joint arrangements as either:

<br> ● *Joint ventures*: where the Group has rights to only the net assets of the joint arrangement

<br> ● *Joint operations*: where the Group has both the rights to assets and obligations for the liabilities of the joint arrangement.

In assessing the classification of interests in joint arrangements, the Group considers:

<br> ● The structure of the joint arrangement

<br> ● The legal form of joint arrangements structured through a separate vehicle

<br> ● The contractual terms of the joint arrangement agreement

<br> ● Any other facts and circumstances (including any other contractual arrangements).

Joint ventures are initially recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost. Subsequently joint ventures are then accounted for using the equity method, where the Group's share of post-acquisition profits and losses and other comprehensive income is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (loss) (except for losses in excess of the Group's investment in the joint ventures unless there is an obligation to make good those losses).

Any premium paid for an investment in a joint venture above the fair value of the Group's share of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired is capitalized and included in the carrying amount of the investment in joint venture. Where there is objective evidence that the investment in a joint venture has been impaired the carrying amount of the investment is tested for impairment in the same manner as other non-financial assets.

Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the joint ventures. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of the joint ventures have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

**3.2.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Property and equipment**

***Owned***

Items of property, plant and equipment are initially recognized at cost. The initial cost of an item of property and equipment consists of its purchase price including import duties, taxes and directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for the intended use. Additionally, any direct labor costs that is directly attributable to the development of software is capitalized.

Depreciation on assets under construction does not commence until they are complete and available for use. Depreciation is provided on all other items of property, plant and equipment so as to reduce their carrying value over their expected useful economic lives.

------

**IBEX Limited**

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

Depreciation on property and equipment is provided using the straight line method. A full month's depreciation is charged in the month of addition, and no depreciation is charged in the month of disposal. Rates of depreciation are disclosed in Note 6.

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| <br>**Property and equipment** | <br>**Useful economic life** | **Depreciation**<br>**method** |
| Leasehold improvements | Expected term of lease | Straight line |
| Furniture, fixture and office equipment | 3 - 5 years | Straight line |
| Computer equipment | 3 years | Straight line |
| Vehicles | 5 years | Straight line |
| Right of Use Assets | Expected term of lease | Straight line |

---

The assets' residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

***Right of use assets and lease liabilities***

The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date, except for short-term leases of 12 months or less and low value. Measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are as follows:

The lease liability is initially measured at the commencement date at the present value of the remaining lease payments using the incremental borrowing rate specific to the country, term and currency of the contract. The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method and re-measured (with a corresponding adjustment to the related ROU asset) when there is change in future lease payments in case of renegotiation, change of an index or rate or in case of reassessment of options.

At inception, the ROU asset comprises the initial lease liability, initial direct costs and the obligation to refurbish the asset, less any incentives granted by the lessors. The ROU asset is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the underlying asset. The ROU asset is subject to testing for impairment if there is an indicator for impairment, as indicated in Note 3.4.

Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight -line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.

ROU assets are included in the heading Property and Equipment (see Note 6.1), the lease liability is shown separately as current and non-current in the statements of financial position, and interest on the lease liability is included in the heading Finance Expenses.

The gains and losses on disposal of assets or termination of right of use assets are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Right of use assets are transferred to owned assets when the Group makes early payment or when there is an option to exercise purchase option and the Group exercises it.

**3.3.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Intangible assets**

**3.3.1. Goodwill**

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of a business combination over the total acquisition date fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired.

Cost comprises the fair value of assets given, liabilities assumed and equity instruments issued, plus the amount of any non-controlling interests in the capital plus, if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in the capital. Contingent consideration is included in cost at its acquisition date fair value and, in the case of contingent consideration classified as a financial liability, re-measured subsequently through the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Direct costs of acquisition are expensed immediately.

Goodwill is capitalized as an intangible asset with any impairment in carrying value being charged to the profit or loss. Where the fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceed the fair value of consideration paid, the excess is credited in full to the profit or loss on the acquisition date.

**3.3.2. Other intangible assets**

Externally acquired intangible assets (such as software) are initially recognized at cost and subsequently amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful economic lives.

Intangible assets are recognized on business combinations if they are separable from the acquired entity or give rise to other contractual/legal rights. The amounts ascribed to such intangibles are arrived at by using appropriate valuation techniques.

Expenditure on internally developed products is capitalized if it can be demonstrated that:

<br> ● it is technically feasible to develop the product for it to be sold

<br> ● adequate resources are available to complete the development

<br> ● there is an intention to complete and sell the product

<br> ● the Group is able to sell the product

<br> ● sale of the product will generate future economic benefits, and

<br> ● expenditure on the project can be measured reliably

Capitalized development costs are amortized over the periods the Group expects to benefit from selling the products developed. The amortization expense is included within the "Depreciation and amortization" line in the profit or loss. Development expenditures not satisfying the above criteria and expenditures associated with the research phase of internal projects is charged out in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income / (loss).

Trademarks and patents are capitalized at cost of acquisition and are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually. Trademarks and patents have an indefinite life on the grounds of the proven longevity of the trademarks or patents and the Group's commitment to maintaining those trademarks or patents. The significant intangibles recognized by the Group, their useful economic lives and the methods used to determine the cost of intangibles acquired in a business combination are as follows:

**3.4. Impairment of non-financial assets**

***Goodwill and other intangibles:***

Impairment tests on goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful economic lives are undertaken annually at the financial year end. Additionally, these assets are subject to impairment tests whenever events or changes in circumstances which indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. In those instances where the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell), the asset is written down accordingly.

When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the impairment test is carried out on the smallest group of assets to which it belongs for which there are separately identifiable cash flows; its cash generating units ("CGUs").

Goodwill is allocated on initial recognition to each of the Group's CGUs that are expected to benefit from a business combination that gives rise to the goodwill.

***Property and Equipment:***

The carrying amounts of the Group's assets including right-of-use assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less cost to sell and value in use. Impairment losses are charged to the profit and loss in other operating expenses.

Impairment charges are included in the profit or loss, except to the extent they reverse gains previously recognized in other comprehensive income.

**3.5.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Financial instruments**

**3.5.1. Financial assets**

The Group classifies its financial assets at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI"). The Group has not classified any of its financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

***Fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI"):***

The Group uses cash flow hedges to manage interest rate risk. The swaps are accounted for at fair value at each balance sheet date and the changes in the market price are recorded in other comprehensive income.

The positive fair values of interest rate swaps are included in other receivables and other comprehensive income. The negative fair values of interest rate swaps are included in payables and other comprehensive income.

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

The Group entered into foreign currency exchange contracts, consisting of offsetting foreign exchange option contracts ("zero- cost collars" or "collars") to mitigate foreign exchange fluctuations on the Philippine Peso ("PHP"), within a certain range and on a certain percentage of its PHP operating costs.

The zero-cost collars were recognized, in accordance with IFRS 9, as financial assets (or liabilities, as applicable) at fair value through other comprehensive income.

***Financial assets at amortized cost:***

The Group includes in this category trade and other receivables, deposits, due from related parties and cash and cash equivalents.

These assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise principally through the provision of goods and services to customers (e.g. trade receivables), but also incorporate other types of contractual monetary asset.

They are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition or issue, and are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment.

For impairment provisions, the Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measure expected credit losses using a lifetime expected credit loss provision for trade receivables to measure expected credit losses on a collective basis. Trade receivables are grouped based on a similar credit risk and aging. The Company measures Expected Credit Losses (ECL) and recognizes credit loss allowance at each reporting date. The measurement of ECL reflects: (i) an unbiased and probability weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes, (ii) time value of money and (iii) all reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost and effort at the end of each reporting period about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future conditions. The expected loss rates are based on the Group's historical credit losses experienced over the three year period prior to the period end. The historical loss rates are then adjusted for current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the Group's customers. The Group has identified the gross domestic product (GDP), unemployment rate and inflation rate as the key macroeconomic factors in the countries where the Group operates. Other financial assets includes time deposits and other receivables, and the Group has determined that credit risk has not increased significantly on those assets and considers to have low credit risks at the reporting date.

The Group applies the IFRS 9 general approach to measure expected credit losses using a lifetime expected credit loss provision for related party balances to measure expected credit losses on a collective basis.

From time to time, the Group elects to renegotiate the terms of trade receivables due from customers with which it has previously had a good trading history. Such renegotiations will lead to changes in the timing of payments rather than changes to the amounts owed and, in consequence, the new expected cash flows are discounted at the original effective interest rate and any resulting difference to the carrying value is recognized in the profit and loss.

The Group's assets at amortized costs comprise trade and other receivables, deposits, due from related parties and cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

**3.5.2. Financial liabilities**

The Group classifies its financial liabilities into one of three categories, depending on the purpose for which the liability was acquired.

***Fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL"):***

The warrant liability is classified as a financial liability at FVTPL and valued using the Black- Scholes model (June 30, 2020: Monte Carlo simulation). Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on re-measurement recognized in profit or loss.

***Fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVTOCI"):***

The Group uses cash flow hedges to manage interest rate risk. The swaps are accounted for at fair value at each balance sheet date and the changes in the market price are recorded in other comprehensive income.

The positive fair values of interest rate swaps are included in other receivables and other comprehensive income. The negative fair values of interest rate swaps are included in payables and other comprehensive income.

The Group entered into foreign currency exchange contracts, consisting of offsetting foreign exchange option contracts ("zero- cost collars" or "collars") to mitigate foreign exchange fluctuations on the Philippine Peso ("PHP"), within a certain range and on a certain percentage of its PHP operating costs.

The zero-cost collars were recognized, in accordance with IFRS 9, as financial assets (or liabilities, as applicable) at fair value through other comprehensive income.

***Financial liabilities at amortized cost:***

The Group includes in this category trade and other payables, borrowings, and due to related parties.

Trade payables and other short- term monetary liabilities, which are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognized in the profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the effective interest rate method amortization process. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest costs over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability or (where appropriate) to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Financial liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value net of any transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of the instrument.

Interest bearing liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, which ensures that any interest expense over the period to repayment is at a constant rate on the balance of the liability carried in the consolidated statement of financial position.

For the purposes of each financial liability, interest expense includes initial transaction costs and any premium payable on redemption, as well as any interest or coupon payable while the liability is outstanding.

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

Receivables and payables made to the Group companies outside the control of IBEX Limited are presented under the heading due to/from related parties. When denominated in a currency other than the US dollar, they are translated to US dollar at closing rates. Related parties receivables and payables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost.

**3.6.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Trade receivables**

Trade receivables are recognized and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for expected credit losses.

**3.7.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Cash and cash equivalents**

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Bank overdrafts are shown within loans and borrowings in current liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial position.

**3.8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Revenue from Contracts with Customers**

IFRS 15 lays out a five-step process to ascertain the amount and timing of revenue that should be recognized.

<br> ● Step 1: Identify the contract: The Company determines whether a contract exists between the reporting entity and customers that identifies rights, payment terms, has commercial substance and basis for collectability can be determined.

<br> ● Step 2: Identify the Performance Obligations: The Company reviews the nature of the goods or service to be rendered in the contract and whether these are distinct. The reporting entity should recognize the revenue when it satisfies the performance obligations.

● Step 3: Determine the transaction price: The amount of consideration expected to be received is defined which may be fixed or variable. With variable consideration the reporting entity can reasonably estimate the expected consideration. This step includes consideration of the various criteria which need to be identified and analyzed in determining whether revenues are fixed, variable or both.

<br> ● Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contracts – Where separate performance obligations exist, the reporting entity allocates and assigns the consideration to the respective performance obligations.

<br> ● Step 5: Revenue Recognition: Recognize revenue to when the entity satisfies the performance obligations.

Revenues from contact center services are recognized over the period as the services are performed on the basis of the number of billable hours or other contractually agreed metrics. Revenues from inbound and outbound telephonic and internet- based communication services that are customized to the customers' needs are recognized at the contractual rates as services are provided. Revenues for the initial training that occurs upon commencement of a new client contract are deferred and recognized over the estimated life of the client program if that training is billed to a client. Training revenues are deferred and then recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the client contract, as it is not considered to have a standalone value to the customer. The related expenses are immediately charged to payroll and related expenses in the statement of profit or loss as incurred. Revenues are recognized in the amount as per the contractual billing rights which has a right to invoice net of discounts, incentives, and other credits as per contractual terms. The contact center solutions

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

consist of customer service, technical support and other value added outsourced back office services. This omni-channel offering is delivered through voice, email, chat, SMS, social media and other communication applications. Capital expenditure, billed to the client at actual cost, is deferred and then recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the client contract.

Revenues from CX services are recognized over the period of a client's subscription contract on a basis that reflects usage of the product at the client's location. Revenues and expenses related to set-up fees to customize the customer experience solution for client's specific needs are deferred and recognized on a straight -line basis over the period in which the related service delivery is expected to be performed. Revenues related to additional consulting services are recognized over the period as the related services are performed on a per hour basis. The customer experience solution is comprised of a comprehensive suite of proprietary software tools to measure, monitor and manage the customer experience.

Revenues from Digital services are recognized upon the successful purchase of clients' services as reported to the Group in monthly, semi-monthly or weekly intervals by clients. The data provided by clients to the Group include detail on pricing and product level activations from all channels (i.e. web-portal orders, call center orders, or affiliate or partner orders placed on the Group's behalf) on the basis of which the clients calculate the payments owed to the Group. The payments received are reconciled to the activation data transmitted to the Group by the clients. Revenue is recognized from Digital Services at a point of time. Most of the digital solutions are based on two steps: (a) generating or purchasing a lead or a prospect, and (b) converting that lead or prospect into a customer, most frequently through a voice-based channel. Customers are primarily acquired for clients in the telecommunications, cable, technology and insurance industries.

For renewal commissions, the Group incorporates a combination of historical lapse and premium increase data along with available industry and insurance carrier experience data to estimate forecasted renewal consideration and constrain revenue recognized to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. The uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved when the policy renews.

Costs of fulfilling contracts do not result in the recognition of an asset as the majority of revenue is recognized over time and control of the asset is transferred to the customer when the service is transferred therefore no asset in relation to costs to fulfil contracts has been recognized. In relation to costs incurred to obtain a contract, no asset is recognized because the majority of costs (i.e. travel, employee commission, administrative expenses) are short-term in nature and also insignificant therefore they are recognized in the profit and loss account when incurred.

**3.9.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Provisions**

A provision is recognized in the statement of financial position when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event; it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The Group has recognized provisions against legal disputes. Provisions are made for costs to defend legal disputes where it is considered that an outflow of economic benefit is probable. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense in profit and loss. Provisions are reviewed at each statement of financial position date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. The provisions are recognized in trade and other payables.

**3.10. Retirement benefits**

**Defined contribution pension schemes**

Contributions to defined contribution pension schemes are charged to the profit or loss in the year to which they relate.

***United States based subsidiaries***

The Group's United States ("US") based subsidiaries have qualified defined contribution plans. Employees who meet certain eligibility requirements, as defined, are able to contribute up to federal annual maximums. The retirement plan provides for company matching contributions of 100% of the first 3% of employee contributions to the retirement plan and 50% of the next 2% of the employee contributions to the retirement plan. All company matching contributions are 100% vested.

***TRG Marketing Solutions Limited***

This subsidiary operates a defined contribution pension plan with a third party. Under this scheme, TRG Marketing Solutions Limited makes contributions for employees who have not opted out of the voluntary pension scheme.

***Virtual World (Private) Limited and IBEX Global Solutions (Private) Limited***

Virtual World (Private) Limited, IBEX Global Solutions (Private) Limited, and DGS (Private) Limited operate a defined contribution plan (i.e. recognized provident fund scheme) for all its permanent employees. The assets of the fund are held separately under the control of trustees for such fund. Contributions made by the subsidiaries are charged to the profit or loss.

**Defined benefit schemes**

Defined benefit scheme surpluses and deficits are measured at:

<br> ● The fair value of plan assets at the reporting date; less

● Plan liabilities calculated using the projected unit credit method discounted to its present value using yields available on high quality corporate bonds that have maturity dates approximating to the terms of the liabilities and are denominated in the same currency as the post-employment benefit obligations; less

<br> ● The effect of minimum funding requirements agreed with scheme trustees

Re-measurements of the net defined obligation are recognized directly within other comprehensive income. The re-measurements include:

<br> ● Actuarial gains and losses

<br> ● Return on plan assets (interest exclusive)

<br> ● Any asset ceiling effects (interest exclusive)

Service costs are recognized in the profit or loss, and include current and past service costs as well as gains and losses on curtailments.

------

**IBEX Limited**

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

Net interest expense / income is recognized in the profit or loss, and is calculated by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation / asset at the beginning of the annual period to the balance of the net defined benefit obligation / asset, considering the effects of contributions and benefit payments during the period.

Gains or losses arising from changes to scheme benefits or scheme curtailment are recognized immediately in the profit or loss. Settlements of defined benefit schemes are recognized in the period in which the settlement occurs.

IBEX Philippines, Inc. and IBEX Global Solutions (Philippines) Inc. operate an unfunded defined benefit scheme.

Under the plan, pension costs are actuarially determined using the projected unit credit method. This method considers each period of service as giving rise to an additional unit of benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. Gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of pension benefits are recognized when the curtailment or settlement occurs. All actuarial gains and losses are recognized in the year in which they arise, with re-measurements presented within other comprehensive income. The net interest cost is derived by applying a single discount rate to the net surplus or deficit of the fund.

**3.11. Share-based payments**

The Group has a number of share based compensation plans under which it grants share options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units.

The Company uses the fair value method of accounting for the share options, restricted stock award plan and long-term incentive plan. The fair value of these share options are estimated using the Black -Scholes valuation model and Monte Carlo simulation as applicable. The measurement of share options at fair value is based on the option pricing model taking into account the following variables:

<br> ● The share price.

<br> ● The strike price.

<br> ● Volatility determined based on historical prices of our shares.

<br> ● The duration, which has been estimated as the difference between the valuation date of the warrant plans and final exercise date.

<br> ● The risk free interest rate.

During the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the grant date fair value of any new stock and option grants were calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model, however, prior to the Company becoming public, the grant date fair value of any stock and option grants were calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model.

Where equity settled share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to the profit or loss over the vesting period.

Where the terms and conditions of awards are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the awards, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income over the remaining vesting period.

The Group also operates a Phantom share option scheme (a cash settled share-based payment). An option pricing model (Black-Scholes) is used to measure the Group's liability at each reporting date, taking into account

------

**IBEX Limited**

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

the terms and conditions and the extent to which employees have rendered service. Movements in the liability (other than cash payments) are recognized in the profit or loss. For additional information, please refer to Note 19.

**3.12. Warrants**

The Company accounts for the warrants to purchase its common shares in accordance with the provisions of IAS 32 - Financial Instruments: Presentation and IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments. The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net-cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company) or (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement).

The Company assessed the classification of the warrant as of the date it was issued and determined that such instruments met the criteria for liability classification. The warrant is reported on the consolidated statement of financial position as a liability at fair value using the Black-Scholes valuation method. The initial value was recorded on the consolidated statements of financial position with the common shares underlying the warrant which have vested recorded as contra revenue and the remainder recorded to long-and short-term assets.

The total fair value of the warrant liability is determined at the end of each reporting period by multiplying the fair value of a warrant by the total number of warrants that are expected to vest under the arrangement based on the satisfaction of the specified revenue milestones provided in the warrant. The total number of warrants that are expected to vest is based upon the cumulative revenues that are expected, as determined at the end of each reporting period, to be earned from Amazon during a period of 7.5 years ending on June 30, 2024.

The measurement of the warrant at fair value as of the initial measurement date is based on the Black-Scholes valuation model taking into account the following variables:

<br> ● The share price.

<br> ● The strike price.

<br> ● Volatility determined based on historical prices of our shares.

<br> ● The duration, which has been estimated as the difference between the valuation date of the warrant plans and final exercise date.

<br> ● The risk free interest rate.

At the end of each reporting period, the Company has fair valued the warrant liability with changes in fair value through profit and loss. For the years ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, the Company used the Black-Scholes valuation model, which requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility and the expected term.

The Company considers a variety of factors in estimating the fair value of its common shares on each measurement date, including:

<br> ● the Company's historical and projected operating and financial performance;

<br> ● the Company's introduction of new products and services;

<br> ● the Company's completion of strategic acquisitions;

<br> ● the Company's stage of development;

<br> ● the global economic outlook and its expected impact on the Company's business; and

<br> ● the market performance of comparable companies.

**IBEX Limited**

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

The assets will be amortized on a systematic basis over the life of the arrangement as revenue is recognized for the transfer of the related goods or services as included Note 3.8. The Company will review the asset on a reporting period basis to determine whether an impairment is required. In the event that an impairment is needed, the Company will reduce the asset and offset to revenues.

**3.13. Treasury Shares**

*Share buyback*

In December 2021, the Company's board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $20 million of its common stock. The Company's proposed repurchases may be made from time to time through open market transactions at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades and/or through other legal permissible means, depending on the market conditions and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. The actual timing, number, and dollar amount of repurchase transactions will be determined by management at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the market price of the Company's common shares, general market and economic conditions, and compliance with Rule 10b-18 and/or Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common shares, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion. As of June 30, 2022, the Company repurchased 227,889 shares of its common stock totaling $3.4 million.

When shares are repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid (including directly attributable costs, net of any tax effects) is recognized as a deduction of additional paid in capital. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares and are presented as a deduction from total equity. When treasury shares are subsequently sold or reissued, the amount received is recognized as an increase in additional paid in capital, and any resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is reclassified to accumulated deficit.

**3.14. Income taxes**

**Current tax**

Current tax expense is based on taxable income at the current rates of taxation of the respective jurisdictions after taking into account applicable tax credits, rebates and exemptions available, if any.

Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions, where appropriate, on the basis of amounts management expects to pay to the tax authorities. Any such provisions are based on estimates and are subject to changing facts and circumstances considering the progress of ongoing tax audits, case law and new legislation.

**Deferred tax**

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized where the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the consolidated statement of financial position differs from its tax base, except for differences arising on:

<br> ● The initial recognition of goodwill,

<br> ● The initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting or taxable profit, and

<br> ● Investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the difference and it is probable that the difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

------

**IBEX Limited**

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

Recognition of deferred tax assets is restricted to those instances where it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the difference can be utilized.

The amount of the asset or liability is determined using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the deferred tax liabilities / assets are settled / recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on either:

<br> ● The same taxable group company, or

● Different group entities which intend either to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be settled or recovered.

**3.15. Foreign Currency**

**Foreign currency translation**

Transactions entered into by Group entities in a currency other than the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate (their "Functional Currency") are recorded at the rates ruling when the transactions occur. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates ruling at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of unsettled monetary assets and liabilities are recognized immediately in the profit or loss. The net exchange losses amounted to $0.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2022 (June 30, 2021: $0.2 million; June 30, 2020: $0.4 million).

On consolidation, the results of overseas operations are translated into dollars at rates approximating to those ruling when the transactions took place. All assets and liabilities of overseas operations, including goodwill arising on the acquisition of those operations, are translated at the rate ruling at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising on translating the opening net assets at the opening rate and the results of overseas operations at the actual rate are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign exchange reserve. Exchange differences are recognized as profit or loss in the Group entities' separate consolidated financial statements on the translation of long-term monetary items forming part of the Group's net investment in the overseas operation concerned are reclassified to other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign exchange reserve on consolidation.

On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative exchange differences recognized in the foreign exchange reserve relating to that operation up to the date of disposal are transferred to the profit or loss as part of the profit or loss on disposal.

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into USD at the exchange rate at the end of the previous month-end. Monetary items in the statement of financial position are translated at the closing rate at each reporting date and the relevant translation adjustments are recognized in financial result.

**3.16. Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities**

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset when the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and intends either to settle these on net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or winding up of the entity or the counterparties.

**3.17. Dividend**

Dividends declared subsequent to the balance sheet date are considered as non-adjusting events and are recognized in the consolidated financial statements in the year in which such dividends are approved / transfers are made.

**3.18. Derivative instruments and hedge accounting**

The Group designates and documents the use of certain derivatives as hedging instruments against changes in fair values of recognized assets and liabilities (fair value hedges) and highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges). The effectiveness of such hedges is assessed at inception and verified at regular intervals and at least on a quarterly basis to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and the hedging instrument.

The Group uses cash flow hedges to mitigate a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or highly probable forecast transactions, such as variability of expected interest payments and receipts.

If a highly probable forecast transaction results in the recognition of a non-monetary asset, the cumulative loss / (gain) is added to / (subtracted from) the cost of the asset acquired ("basis adjustment"). The same approach is followed where a cash flow hedge of a hedged forecast transaction for a non-financial asset or non-financial liability becomes a firm commitment to which fair value hedge accounting is applied. Otherwise the cumulative gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserve to profit or loss at the same time as the hedged transaction affects profit or loss. The two transactions are recognized in the same line item. If a forecast transaction is no longer considered highly probable but the forecast transaction is still expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income is frozen and recognized in profit or loss. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized in profit or loss. If the Group closes out its position before the transaction takes place (even though it is still expected to take place) the cumulative gain or loss on changes in fair value of the derivative is similarly recognized. If, at any point, the hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss is reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserve to profit or loss immediately. The effective portion of gains and losses on derivatives used to manage cash flow interest rate risk (such as floating to fixed interest rate swaps) are also recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve. However, if the Group closes out its position early, the cumulative gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income are frozen and reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserve to profit or loss using the effective interest method. The ineffective portion of gains and losses on derivatives used to manage cash flow interest rate risk are recognized in profit or loss within finance charges.

*Derivative instruments and hedge accounting*

The Group implemented a foreign currency hedging program in August 2021 to mitigate its risk from fluctuations in the Philippine Peso (relative to the US Dollar) related to its operating costs in the Philippines. The Group uses foreign currency option contracts to mitigate a portion of the risk related to foreign exchange movements. The Group also has an interest rate swap to mitigate its risk to interest rate fluctuations related to its line of credit.

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period. The derivatives are designated and effective as hedging instruments upon inception, and therefore the changes in fair value prior to the settlement of the derivative are recognized in other comprehensive income as long as they remain effective.

A derivative with a positive fair value is recognized as a financial asset whereas a derivative with a negative fair value is recognized as a financial liability. Derivatives are not offset in the financial statements unless the

------

**IBEX Limited**

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

Group has both a legally enforceable right and intention to offset. A derivative is presented as a non–current asset or a non–current liability if the settlement date of the instrument is more than 12 months from the end of the reporting period.

The Group designates all of its derivatives as hedging instruments with respect to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk as cash flow hedges. At the inception of the hedge relationship, the Group documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking the hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Group documents whether the hedging instrument is effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, which is when the hedging relationships meet all of the following hedge effectiveness requirements:

<br> ● there is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument;

<br> ● the effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship; and

<br> ● the hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the Group actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the Group actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item.

If a hedging relationship ceases to meet the hedge effectiveness requirement relating to the hedge ratio but the risk management objective for that designated hedging relationship remains the same, the Group adjusts the hedge ratio of the hedging relationship (i.e. rebalances the hedge) so that it meets the qualifying criteria again.

The Group excludes time value from its designations of its hedging relationships.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of cash flow hedging reserve, limited to the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item from inception of the hedge. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss and is included in the "finance expenses" line item. Amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss, in the same line as the recognized hedged item.

The Group discontinues hedge accounting only when the hedging relationship (or a part thereof) ceases to meet the qualifying criteria (after rebalancing, if applicable). This includes instances when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised. The discontinuation is accounted for prospectively. Any gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in cash flow hedge reserve at that time remains in equity and is reclassified to profit or loss when the forecast transaction occurs. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in cash flow hedge reserve is reclassified immediately to profit or loss.

**3.19. Standards, interpretations and amendments not yet effective**

● On January 23, 2020, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB or the Board) issued amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (the amendments) to clarify that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current, depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. These amendments should be applied for annual periods beginning on or

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

after January 1, 2022, retrospectively in accordance to IAS 8. On July 15, 2020, IASB issued an amendment that defers the effective date of January 2020 amendments by one year, so that the entities would be required to apply the amendment for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Company is assessing the impact of the amendment and expects that the impact would not have a material impact on the financial statements.

● On February 12, 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 to improve the accounting policy disclosures so that they provide more useful information to investors and other primary users of the financial statements. The amendments to IAS 1 require companies to disclose their material accounting policy information rather than their significant accounting policies. These amendments should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, prospectively. The Company is assessing the impact of the amendment and expects that the impact would not have a material impact on the financial statements.

<br> ● On February 12, 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 8 to help entities distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates. The amendments to IAS 8 clarifies that:

accounting estimates are "monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty."

<br> - Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty.

Change in accounting estimate that results from new information or new developments is not the correction of an error. In addition, the effects of a change in an input or a measurement technique used to develop an accounting estimate are changes in accounting estimates if they do not result from the correction of prior period errors.

A change in an accounting estimate may affect only the current period's profit or loss, or the profit or loss of both the current period and future periods. The effect of the change relating to the current period is recognized as income or expense in the current period. The effect, if any, on future periods is recognized as income or expense in those future periods.

These amendments should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, prospectively. The Company is assessing the impact of the amendment and expects that the impact would not have a material impact on the financial statements.

● On May 7, 2021, the IASB has published 'Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments to IAS 12)'. The Board amends IAS 12 to provide a further exception from the initial recognition exemption. Under the amendments, an entity does not apply the initial recognition exemption for transactions that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023.

The Company is assessing the impact of the amendment and expects that the impact would not have a material impact on the financial statements.

The calculation of value in use for the business operations is most sensitive to changes in the following assumptions which are discussed below, together with the amounts by which these key assumptions would have to change (independent of other changes in assumptions) for an impairment to arise. Management has calculated the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to exceed its carrying amount by $254.0 million.

**Testing for impairment of goodwill**

**Key assumptions applied in impairment testing**

The recoverable amounts of all the CGUs have been determined from value in use calculations based on cash flow projections from formally approved budgets covering a three year period from 2022 to 2024. The first year of the projections is based on detailed budgets prepared by management as part of the Group's performance and control procedures. Subsequent years are based on extrapolations using the key assumptions listed below which are management approved projections. The discount rate applied to cash flow projections beyond three-years is extrapolated using a terminal growth rate which represents the expected long-term growth rate of the Business Process Outsourcing ("BPO") sector.

The following rates were used by the Group for the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Average<br> revenue<br> growth rate** | **Average<br> Gross<br> Margin** | **Discount<br> Rate** | **Terminal<br> Growth<br> Rate** |
| | % | % | % | % |
| June 30, 2022 | 7.1 | 28.9 | 15.6 | 5 |
| June 30, 2021 | 9.2 | 29.0 | 13.2 | 5 |
| June 30, 2020 | 7.9 | 26.2 | 13.2 | 5 |

---

The calculation of value in use for the business operations is most sensitive to changes in the following assumptions:

**Revenue growth**

Revenue growth assumptions have been derived from projections prepared by management. Management is of the view that these assumptions are reasonable considering current market conditions. An impairment in the carrying value of goodwill would not arise if the 2022- 2024 average revenue growth rate declined to nil. Over the projected period of three years, COVID-19 has not significantly impacted the revenue and gross margins of the Company.

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

**Cost of sales and gross margin**

Cost of sales has been projected on the basis of multiple strategies planned by management to ensure profitable operations. These strategies include cost minimization mechanisms such as offshore migration of labor, centralization of support activities and increasing efficiency of service delivery, resulting in improved gross margins over the forecasted period.

**Discount rate**

Discount rates reflect management estimates of the rate of return required for the business and are calculated after taking into account the prevailing risk-free rate, industry risk and business risk. Discount rates are calculated using the weighted average cost of capital. An impairment in the carrying value of goodwill would not arise if the weighted average cost of capital were to increase significantly.

The Group leases buildings for its offices, equipment and vehicles. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. Leases are typically made for a fixed period of 3-7 years and may include renewal options, which provide operational flexibility and when recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, the Group includes certain renewal options where the Group is reasonably assured to exercise the renewal option. The operating leases recognized have reasonably assured lease terms ranging from 2 to 12 years. The Group allocates the consideration in the contract of lease related to the building to the lease and non-lease components based on their relative stand-alone prices.

**6.4.** Other lease disclosures:

A maturity analysis of lease liability is shown in Note 22.3. Interest expense on lease liabilities is $7.4 million (June 30, 2021: $7.3 million). The expense incurred relating to short-term leases, not included in the measurement of lease liabilities, is $0.2 million (June 30, 2021: $0.2 million) and no other variable lease payments were incurred during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. Lease payments total $13.4 million and $17.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 respectively.

The Group recognized 117 (June 30, 2021: 91) leases related to right of use assets. During the year ended June 30, 2022, there were 46 new leases (June 30, 2021: 13) and 20 (June 30, 2021: 16) disposal of leases.

**13.2.2.** In July 2011, a subsidiary of the Group, iSky, Inc., entered into a purchasing agreement (the "Seacoast Receivables Financing Agreement") with the predecessor to Seacoast National Bank ("Seacoast"). Pursuant to the Seacoast Receivables Financing Agreement, Seacoast provides payment to iSky, Inc. for up to $1.5 million of accounts receivable owed to iSky, Inc. All payments from Seacoast to iSky, Inc. are subject to a discount of 1.0% for receivables outstanding 30 days or less and an additional 0.5% for each additional 15 days that such receivable is outstanding. Under the Seacoast Receivables Financing Agreement, Seacoast may also advance an amount up to 85% of iSky, Inc.'s receivables to iSky, Inc. at a rate of LIBOR plus 7.0%.

The Seacoast Receivables Financing Agreement requires iSky, Inc. to sell $0.2 million of receivables per month to Seacoast, subject to a penalty based on the discount fee if such minimum is not met.

**14.1.** **Defined benefit scheme** 

Two of the Group subsidiaries ("the Subsidiaries") operate an unfunded defined benefit plan for qualifying employees. Under this plan, the employees are entitled to one half month's salary for every year of service, with six months or more of service considered as one year. One half month's salary has been defined to include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● 15 days salary based on the latest salary rate,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● cash equivalent to 5 days service incentive leave, and,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● one - twelfth of the 13th month's pay.

An employee is entitled to retirement benefits only upon attainment of a retirement age of 60 years and completion of at least five years of previously credited service. No other post-retirement benefits are provided to these employees. The most recent actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out on June 30, 2022. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method.

The Group is subject to claims and lawsuits filed in the ordinary course of business. Although management does not believe that any such proceedings other than those noted below will have material adverse effect going forward, no assurances to that effect can be given based on the uncertainty of litigation and demands of third parties. The Group only records a liability for pending litigation and claims where losses are both probable and can be reasonably estimated.

**16.1.1.** The significant claims or legal proceedings against subsidiaries of the Group are as follows:

A case was filed in November 2014 in the US District Court of Tennessee as a collective action under the US Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Tennessee law, alleging that plaintiffs were forced to work without being paid for the "off the clock" time. In December 2014, a similar FLSA collection action case was filed against IBEX Global Solutions in the US District Court for the District of Columbia. In February 2015, the two cases were consolidated in Tennessee (the "Consolidated Action") and plaintiffs agreed to submit all claims to binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association. Presently, there are approximately 3,500 individuals who have opted into the FLSA class action claims, and there are pending wage and hour class action claims under various state laws ("Rule 23 Claims") involving approximately 21,000 potential class action claimants. In April 2019, the parties engaged in a Mediation. On June 14, 2019, the parties entered into a Settlement Agreement, which was approved by the arbitrator on June 19, 2019. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, all claimants under both the FLSA and the Rule 23 Claims were required to fill out and send a claim form to the Third-Party Administrator within the claim period ending on October 15, 2019 in order to receive funds under the settlement. Subsequent to June 30, 2019, Ibex funded $3.4 million toward the settlement fund provided under the Settlement Agreement. This amount covered 100% of the possible claims under the FLSA, as well as plaintiffs' attorney fees, administration costs and service awards. These amounts exclude any amounts for the Rule 23 Claims. Any funds not claimed pursuant to the FLSA portion of the settlement will revert to Ibex. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, there is $2.2 million allocated to the settlement of claims for the Rule 23 class members. The exact amount of recovery with respect to the Rule 23 Claims depends upon the claim forms properly and timely returned to the Third-Party Administrator. The claim period closed on October 15,

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

2019 and as of that date, claim forms properly and timely returned for the Rule 23 Class Members accounted for $1.2 million of the $2.2 million allocated funds for the Rule 23 class. On November 7, 2019, the parties appeared before the Arbitrator and the Arbitrator approved the Final Order. On November 20, 2019, payment was made by the Company to the Qualified Settlement Fund in the amount of $1.2 million for payment in full of all Rule 23 Claims and any Company tax obligations for payments to such individuals, and the matter is effectively closed. On July 15, 2020 this matter was dismissed with prejudice pursuant to an Agreed Stipulation of Dismissal with Prejudice.

A case filed in District of Columbia Superior Court against IBEX Global Solutions by a former employee of IBEX's Philippines affiliate, IBEX Global Philippines, alleging that he was harassed, discriminated against and ultimately terminated due to his religion and personal appearance in violation of the D.C. Human Rights Act, and seeking unspecified damages on November 29, 2016. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021, Plaintiff and Company agreed to a total settlement of $0.9 million, payment was made in full settlement of the case, and the case was dismissed with prejudice.

In March 2022, a class action lawsuit was filed against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia alleging plaintiffs' personal information was exposed as a result of the ransomware incident. In July 2022, the parties agreed to a preliminary settlement, which is subject to Court approval and will be fully covered by available insurance.

The Company is subject to other routine legal proceedings, claims, and litigation in the ordinary course of its business. Defending lawsuits requires significant management attention and financial resources and the outcome of any litigation, including the matters described above, is inherently uncertain. The Company does not, however, currently expect that the costs to resolve these routine matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

**16.2.** **Commitments** 

**16.2.1.** IBEX Global Solutions, Inc. has an annual telecommunication service commitment with two of its carriers. The carrier agreement was signed in September 2020 for a three- year term with a minimum annual commitment for $0.450 million and it is expected to be renewed in September 2023. A second carrier agreement signed in August of 2021 for a three-year term with a minimum commitment of $0.03 million per month.

**16.2.2.** IBEX Global Solutions, Inc. is also subject to early termination provisions in certain telecommunications contracts, which if enforced by the telecommunications providers, would subject IBEX Global Solutions to the obligation to pay early termination fees. To date, these early termination provisions have not been triggered by IBEX Global Solutions and in most cases would be equal to the unfulfilled terms of the contract.

**16.2.3.** On November 27, 2017, PNC Bank, NA issued an irrevocable standby letter of credit for the amount of $0.4 million in favor of the Group's subsidiary TRG Customer Solutions, Inc. to the benefit of Digicel (Jamaica) Limited to guarantee the payment of base rent for the property rented by the Group's subsidiary IBEX Global Jamaica Limited. With effect from March 1, 2018, the amount of the irrevocable standby letter of credit was increased to $0.5 million. The letter of credit was renewed on December 13, 2019 for one year which expired on December 13, 2020. The letter of credit was not further renewed.

The Group's U.S. tax provision includes Ibex Global Solutions, Inc. and Ibex Receivable Solutions, Inc., which file separate income tax returns in the U.S. The Group's tax provision also includes various foreign subsidiaries based in the UK, EU, Canada, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Senegal, Honduras, and the Philippines. These entities file income tax returns in their respective jurisdictions. No income tax provision has been calculated for Bermuda-based companies as there is no corporate income tax in Bermuda.

On February 28, 2021, Digital Globe Services, Inc. and TelSatOnline, Inc. were converted into single-member U.S. LLCs and placed under Ibex Global Solutions, Inc. Similarly, iSky, Inc. was converted into a single-member U.S. LLC on July 31, 2021 and placed under Ibex Global Solutions, Inc.

Deferred tax expense for the year ended June 30, 2020 includes a non-recurring benefit of $0.6 million related to change in revenue and related costs recognition under IFRS15 - Revenue from contracts with customers.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, as well as net operating losses and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates that will apply to taxable income in the periods the deferred tax item is expected to be settled or realized. The tax effects of the Group's temporary differences and carry forwards are as follows:

**Tax effect of deductible / (taxable) temporary differences**

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

A deferred tax asset has not been recognized for the following gross amounts:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **June 30,<br> 2022** | **June 30,<br> 2021** |
| | **(US$'000)** | **(US$'000)** |
| Unused tax losses | 11553 | 26575 |
| Deductible temporary differences |  | 81 |
| **Unused tax losses and deductible differences - unrecognized** | **11553** | **26656** |

---

Deferred tax asset arising on the above amounts has not been recognized in these consolidated financial statements, as the management is of the prudent view that it is not probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available in the foreseeable future against which these temporary differences and unused tax losses can be utilized. Other factors considered include cumulative losses in recent years and non-existence of future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences. The unused tax losses will begin to expire in 2023.

At June 30, 2022, the Group's US federal and state net operating loss carry forward for income tax purposes are $18.9 million (June 30, 2021: $15.9. million) and $32.2 million (June 30, 2021: $36.7 million) respectively which will begin to expire in 2029. At June 30, 2022, the Group's U.S. federal tax credits carry forward for income tax purposes are $2.5 million (June 30, 2021: $1.0 million), which will begin to expire in 2039. The Group's Canadian subsidiary has net operating loss carry forward of $2.2 million (June 30, 2021: $2.3 million), which will begin to expire in 2028. The Group's UK and European subsidiaries have net operating loss carry forward of $6.5 million (June 30, 2021: $4.3 million), which can be carried forward indefinitely. The Group's Luxembourg subsidiary has net operating loss carry forwards of $1.1 million (June 30, 2021: $1.2 million) which will begin to expire in 2037. The Group's subsidiary in Senegal has net operating loss carry forward of $1.8 million (June 30, 2021: $2.7 million), which will begin to expire in 2023. These amounts are based on the income tax returns filed for the year ended June 30, 2021 and estimated amounts for the year ended June 30, 2022.

The Group is subject to income tax in several jurisdictions and significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. As a result, the Group recognizes tax liabilities based on estimates of whether additional taxes and interest will be due. There are no material uncertain tax treatments that would require adjustment to the income tax expense.

There are no income tax consequences attached to the payment of dividends by the Group to its shareholders.

**Reconciliation of effective tax rate**

Below is a reconciliation of tax expense and the accounting profit. As the Group's key income generating operations are based in the US, United States federal income tax rate of 21% is used for the purpose of this reconciliation:

**19.1.** **Phantom Stock Plans** 

In February of 2018, IBEX Global Solutions (Philippines) Inc., IBEX Global ROHQ, and in March of 2018, IBEX Global Jamaica Limited, each adopted a phantom stock plan ("Phantom Stock Plan"), which provide for grants of "phantom stock options" to certain of their executive officers and employees. Each Phantom stock option provides the participant with a contractual right to receive an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of a vested common share of the Holding Company at the time of exercise and the exercise price of the option per share.

On February 1, 2021, we terminated the Phantom Stock Plan for IBEX Global ROHQ. All IBEX Global ROHQ plan participants and phantom stock options were transferred to the IBEX Global Solutions (Philippines) Inc. Phantom Stock Plan. The Phantom Stock Plans for IBEX Global Solutions (Philippines) Inc. and IBEX Global Jamaica Limited were amended and restated as of February 16, 2021. The maximum number of phantom stock options available for issuance under the IBEX Global Solutions (Philippines) Inc. and IBEX Global Jamaica Limited plans are 400,000 and 200,000, respectively. These Phantom Stock Plans shall continue until the earlier of June 30, 2025 or termination by the Ibex Limited board of directors pursuant to the terms of the plan.

**IBEX Limited**

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

On February 2021, 167,935 options were issued under phantom stock plan with an exercise price of $20.86, 5,335 of the total options vested immediately and the remaining options vest 25% initially and the remainder vesting equally on monthly basis over 36 months. No options were issued under the plan in fiscal year 2022.

The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes valuation to calculate the fair value of Phantom stock options. The Black-Scholes valuation model requires the use of certain estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of options in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. These include the price per share, expected term, expected volatility, expected dividends and the risk-free interest rate.

***Fair value of common shares***

The fair value of the common shares is $16.87 per share as of June 30, 2022.

***Expected term***

The expected term of options granted is 0.65 - 1.75 years. In estimating the expected term, the Subsidiaries assume all options will be exercised at the contractual term of the option.

***Volatility***

Management used an average volatility of comparable listed companies of 32.64% - 37.19%.

***Expected dividends***

The Holding Company does not expect to pay any dividends in the future.

***Risk-free rate***

The risk free rate is the continuously compounded United States nominal treasury rate corresponding to the term of the option. The risk free rate used for computation of fair value of options as of June 30, 2022 was 3.01% - 3.03%.

The fair value of options issued ranges from $4.68 - $10.20 per option as of June 30, 2022. A roll forward of the phantom options are as follows:

The weighted average fair value of the Phantom stock options as of June 30, 2022 is $5.59 (June 30, 2021: $13.84). For the year ended June 30, 2022, the Subsidiaries recognized an expense of share-based payment amounting to $0.03 million (June 30, 2021: $0.9 million). There were no Phantom Stock options with intrinsic value as of June 30, 2022. The liability under the Phantom stock option plan as of June 30, 2022 was $0.7 million and $0.3 million included as other non-current liabilities in Note 14 and payables in Note 15 respectively.

As of June 30, 2022, the unrecognized compensation expense associated with the phantom stock plan is $0.3 million and it will be recognized over 21 months from the end of June 30, 2022.

**19.2.** **2018 Restricted Stock Award Program** 

On December 21, 2018, our board of directors and shareholders approved and adopted the Holding Company's 2018 Restricted Share Plan (the "2018 RSA Plan"). The following description of the 2018 RSA Plan is as follows.

***Purpose***

We believe that the 2018 RSA Plan will enable us to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to our employees, consultants and directors, and to promote the success of our business.

***Types of Awards***

The 2018 RSA Plan provides for grants of Restricted Share awards entitling recipients to acquire Class B Common Shares ("Restricted Shares"), subject to the right of the Holding Company to repurchase all or part of such Restricted Shares at their issue price or other stated or formula price (or to require forfeiture of such shares if issued at no cost) from the recipient in the event that conditions specified by our board of directors in the applicable Restricted Share award are not satisfied prior to the end of the applicable restriction period or periods established by our board of directors for such Restricted Share award.

***Eligibility***

Selected employees, consultants or directors of our company or our affiliates will be eligible to receive non-statutory Restricted Share awards under the 2018 RSA Plan, but only employees of our company will be eligible to receive incentive stock awards.

***Administration***

The 2018 RSA Plan is administered by our board of directors, a committee (or subcommittee) appointed by our board of directors, or any combination, as determined by our board of directors. Subject to the provisions of the 2018 RSA Plan and, in the case of a committee (or subcommittee), the specific duties delegated by our board of directors to such committee (or subcommittee), the administrator has the authority to, among other things, determine the per share fair market value of our common shares, select the individuals to whom awards may be granted; determine the number of shares covered by each award, approve the form(s) of agreement(s) and other related documents used under the 2018 RSA Plan, determine the terms and conditions of awards, amend outstanding awards, establish the terms of and implement an option exchange program, and construe and interpret the terms of the 2018 RSA Plan and any agreements related to awards granted under the 2018 RSA Plan. Our board of directors may also delegate authority to one of more of our officers to make awards under the 2018 RSA Plan.

------

**IBEX Limited**

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

***Available Shares***

Subject to adjustment, Restricted Share awards may be granted under the Plan for up to 2,559,323.13 Class B common shares, $0.000111650536 par value per Class B common share, of the Group (the "Class B Common Shares"). Restricted Shares issued under the 2018 RSA Plan may consist in whole or in part of authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares.

This limit may be adjusted to reflect certain changes in our capitalization, such as share splits, reverse share splits, share dividends, recapitalizations, rights offerings, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, spin-offs, split-ups and similar transactions.

If any Restricted Share award expires or is forfeited in whole or in part (including as the result of Class B Common Shares subject to such Restricted Share award being repurchased by the Company pursuant to a contractual repurchase right or being forfeited back to the Company), the unused Class B Common Shares covered by such Restricted Share award shall again be available for the grant of Restricted Shares. Additionally, any Class B Common Shares delivered to the Company by a participant to either used to purchase additional Restricted Shares or to satisfy the applicable tax withholding obligations with respect to Restricted Shares (including shares retained from the Restricted Share award creating the tax obligation) shall be added back to the number of shares available for the future grant of Restricted Shares.

***Restricted Shares***

The board of directors may grant Restricted Share awards entitling recipients to acquire Class B Common Shares ("Restricted Shares"), subject to the right of the Company to repurchase all or part of such Restricted Shares at their issue price or other stated or formula price (or to require forfeiture of such shares if issued at no cost) from the recipient in the event that conditions specified by the board of directors in the applicable Restricted Share award are not satisfied prior to the end of the applicable restriction period or periods established by the board of directors for such Restricted Share award.

The board of directors shall determine the terms and conditions of a Restricted Share award, including the conditions for vesting and repurchase (or forfeiture) and the issue price, if any.

***Stockholder Rights***

Except as otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, and with respect to an award of Restricted Shares, a participant will have no rights as a shareholder with respect to common shares covered by any award until the participant becomes the record holder of such common shares.

***Amendment and Termination***

Our board of directors may, at any time, amend or terminate the 2018 RSA Plan but no amendment or termination may be made that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any participant under any outstanding award, without his or her consent.

***Transferability***

Subject to certain limited exceptions, awards granted under the 2018 RSA Plan may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution.

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

***Effective Date; Term***

The 2018 RSA Plan in December 2018 granted 2,373,374 shares, of which 721,596 shares vested on December 31, 2018. The remaining awards will vest between 13 months to 4 years, depending on the individual.

***Fair value of common shares***

The fair market value per share at the time of issuance was $0.61 which was derived from using the Monte Carlo simulation.

***Expected term***

The expected term of shares granted is 3.84 years.

***Volatility***

Management used an average volatility of comparable companies of 26.0%.

***Expected dividends***

The Holding Company does not expect to pay any dividends in the future.

***Risk-free rate***

The risk free rate is the continuously compounded United States nominal treasury rate corresponding to the term of the grant. The risk free rate used for computation of fair value of shares as of June 30, 2020 was 2.87%.

The Company has bifurcated the 2018 RSA Plan into three categories based on the vesting conditions and vesting period of the Restricted Share awards:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● 2018 RSA Plan – Non-Executive Management

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● 2018 RSA Plan Non-Performance – Executive Leadership Team

| RSAs vested as of end of the period | 0.61 | 626966 | 0.61 | 587756 |

---

The 928,124 Restricted Share awards were granted under the 2018 RSA Plan in December 31, 2018 that vest over time, with an initial portion vesting at December 31, 2018 and the remainder vesting equally on a monthly basis for a period of 13 months to four years.

As of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, 626,966, or 98.7% and 587,756, or 92.1% respectively, of the outstanding Restricted Share awards have vested. The Company recognized the amount of stock compensation expense for Restricted Share awards initially vesting on the first vesting date. The total expense recognized during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 was $0.01 million and $0.03 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2022, the compensation expense associated with the Restricted Share Plan award is fully recognized.

**2018 RSA Plan Non-Performance – Executive Leadership Team**

Members of executive management are primarily based in the United States. All U.S.-based members of executive management have filed an 83(b) election, which provides that such equity be taxed by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") at the time of grant, rather than at the time of vesting and shall result in such Restricted Share awards being taxed as capital gains rather than ordinary income. All U.S. members of executive leadership team have purchased the Restricted Shares through a promissory note, which is subject to 3% interest (the "Notes"). The Notes are considered to be a related party loan (see Related Party Transactions, Note 23) . The Notes are a 50% / 50% split between recourse and non–recourse, with the non-recourse portion being secured by those Restricted Shares issued to the borrower. The Group did not record the expense of the both recourse and non–recourse components.

On December 23, 2019, the Company entered into amendments to the restricted share awards with certain members of management and directors (the '2019 RSA Amendments') covering an aggregate of 103,264 restricted common shares. The terms of the original restricted share awards provided for vesting upon an initial public offering on a public exchange in the United States by December 31, 2019. The 2019 RSA Amendments provide for an extension of the date by which such initial public offering must occur to June 30, 2020. There would be no change in the fair value per share due to the modification. These RSA agreements were further amended on June 30, 2020 as referred below:

On January 28, 2020, the board of directors of the Company deemed certain performance triggers to be achieved with respect to restricted share awards with certain members of management and directors (the '2020 RSA Amendments') covering an aggregate of 67,176 restricted common shares. The terms of the valuation trigger associated with such RSAs were not modified. The fair value of certain of the common shares subject to the RSAs were not changed due to the modification.

On May 20, 2020, the Board of Directors approved extraordinary payment to the members of executive management, in the amount set forth for each individual, to be paid directly to the Company in satisfaction in full of the Promissory Note entered into by each individual at the time of issuance of Restricted Stock Award Plan, including a tax gross up to cover any tax implications that may result from repayment of such loan on behalf of the individual which shall be withheld and paid directly to the IRS and that such Promissory Note shall be effectively cancelled upon payment.

On June 30, 2020, the Company entered into further amendments to the restricted share awards with certain members of management and directors (the '2020 RSA Amendments') covering an aggregate of 78,264 restricted common shares. The terms of the original restricted share awards (amended by 2019 RSA amendments) provided for vesting upon an initial public offering on a public exchange in the United States by June 30, 2020. The 2020 RSA Amendments provide for an extension of the date by which such initial public offering must occur to December 31, 2020. The fair value per share were not changed due to this modification.

The Group will not issue further shares under this 2018 RSA plan and the remaining shares of 707,535 were transferred to the 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan (Note 19.4) on May 20, 2020.

**19.3.** **Long term incentive plan** 

On May 20, 2020, our board of directors and shareholders approved and adopted the Holding Company's 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "2020 LTIP"). Effective as of January 14, 2022, the LTIP was amended and restated to provide for an increase of an additional 700,000 shares available under the LTIP. The following description of the 2020 LTIP is as follows.

***Purpose***

We believe that the 2020 LTIP will enable us to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to our employees, consultants and directors, and to promote the success of our business.

***Types of Awards***

The 2020 LTIP provides for grants of stock options and stock awards.

***Eligibility***

Selected employees, consultants or directors of our company or our subsidiaries will be eligible to receive non-statutory Restricted Share awards under the 2020 LTIP, but only employees of our company will be eligible to receive incentive stock awards.

***Administration***

The 2020 LTIP is administered by our administrator appointed by our board of directors, or any combination, as determined by our board of directors. Subject to the provisions of the 2020 LTIP and, in the case of a committee (or subcommittee), the specific duties delegated by our board of directors to such committee (or subcommittee), the administrator has the authority to, among other things, determine the per share fair market value of our common shares, select the individuals to whom awards may be granted; determine the number of shares covered by each award, approve the form(s) of agreement(s) and other related documents used under the 2020 LTIP, determine the terms and conditions of awards, amend outstanding awards, establish the terms of and implement an option exchange program, and construe and interpret the terms of the 2020 LTIP and any agreements related to awards granted under the 2020 LTIP. Our board of directors may also delegate authority to one of more of our officers to make awards under the 2020 LTIP.

***Available Shares***

The number of common shares that we may issue with respect to awards granted under the 2020 LTIP will not exceed an aggregate of 1,987,326.13. This limit may be adjusted to reflect certain changes in our capitalization, such as share splits, reverse share splits, share dividends, recapitalizations, rights offerings, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, spin-offs, split-ups and similar transactions. If an award expires or becomes unexercisable for any reason without having been exercised in full, or is surrendered pursuant to an option exchange program, the common shares subject to such award will be available for further awards under the 2020 LTIP. Common shares used to pay the exercise or purchase price of an award or tax obligations will be treated as not issued and will continue to be available under the 2020 LTIP. Common shares issued under the 2020 LTIP and later forfeited to us due to the failure to vest or repurchased by us at the original purchase price paid to us for such common shares will again be available for future grant under the 2020 LTIP.

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

***Stock Options***

The 2020 LTIP allows the administrator to grant incentive stock options, as that term is defined in section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, or non-statutory stock options. Only our employees may receive incentive stock option awards. The term of each option may not exceed ten years. No incentive stock option or non- qualified stock option may have an exercise price less than the fair market value of a common share at the time of grant. Options will be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the administrator at grant and the exercisability of such options may be accelerated by the administrator.

***Restricted Stock***

The 2020 LTIP allows the administrator to grant restricted stock awards. Once the restricted stock is purchased or received, the participant will have the rights equivalent to those of a holder of our common shares, and will be a record holder when his or her purchase and the issuance of the common shares is entered upon the records of our duly authorized transfer agent. Unless otherwise determined by the administrator, we will have a right to repurchase any grants of restricted stock upon a recipient's voluntary or involuntary termination of employment for any reason at a price equal to the original purchase price of such restricted stock.

***Stockholder Rights***

Except as otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, and with respect to an award of Restricted Shares, a participant will have no rights as a shareholder with respect to common shares covered by any award until the participant becomes the record holder of such common shares.

***Amendment and Termination***

Our board of directors may, at any time, amend or terminate the 2020 LTIP but no amendment or termination may be made that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any participant under any outstanding award, without his or her consent.

***Transferability***

Subject to certain limited exceptions, awards granted under the 2020 LTIP may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution.

***Fair value of common shares***

The grant date fair values of common shares issued under the 2020 LTIP range from $4.37 to $20.86 per share as of June 30, 2022.

***Expected term***

The expected term of options granted is 5.3 – 10.0 years.

***Volatility***

Management used an average volatility of comparable listed companies of 29.4% - 47.7%.

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

***Expected dividends***

The Holding Company does not expect to pay any dividends in the future.

***Risk-free rate***

The risk free rate is the continuously compounded United States nominal treasury rate corresponding to the term of the option. The risk free rate used for computation of fair value of options as of June 30, 2022 was 0.57% -2.00%.

The total expense recognized during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 was $1.8 million and $3.6 million respectively.

As of June 30, 2022, the unrecognized compensation expense associated with the Long term Incentive Plan was $9.5 million, and it will be recognized over the period of 66 months from the end of June 30, 2022.

The Group recognized $1.9 million and $4.5 million of stock based compensation expense (including Phantom Stock Plan and 2018 RSA Plan and long-term incentive plan) for the year ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 respectively.

**20.** **EARNINGS PER SHARE**

Basic earnings / (loss) per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive non-vested restricted stock, stock options and warrants, using the treasury method, as applicable.

When a loss is reported, potentially issuable common shares are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

As of June 30, 2022, there were 468,669 shares related to the 2018 RSA plan, 2020 LTIP and the Amazon warrant that were considered dilutive using the treasury method, and 17,657 shares related to such plans that were considered anti-dilutive, using the treasury method.

As of June 30, 2021, there were 735,475 shares related to the 2018 RSA plan, 2020 LTIP and the Amazon warrant that were considered dilutive using the treasury method, and 3,250 shares related to such plans that were considered anti-dilutive, using the treasury method.

**IBEX Limited** 

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

As of June 30, 2020, there were 1,176,370 vested out of the 1,841,660 awards that have vested. The unvested shares of 665,291 have a small dilutive impact to the Earnings Per Share. On June 30, 2020, the Group issued LTIP (see Note 19), there were 40,500 options vested out of 338,432 options issued. The remaining unvested options have an anti-dilutive impact. Additionally, 288,748 warrant shares have vested and are a component of the basic per share calculation. The remaining unvested warrant shares have an anti – dilutive impact.

The Series A, B and C Preferred Convertible Shares do not meet the definition of ordinary shares under IAS 33 because of their preferred participation rights, under which Series B and C are entitled to receive total dividends of $91.8 million subsequent to Series A receiving the first $9.5 million in dividends before dividends may be paid on the Class A and B Common Shares. The Company paid the dividend on July 24, 2020 of $4 million to TRGI, the holder of Series A preferred share. Accordingly the company's Class A and Class B common shares are deemed to be the only ordinary shares for purposes of calculating earnings per share.

As the income for the year ended June 30, 2020 did not exceed the value of the preferred participation rights of the Series A, B and C Preferred Convertible Shares, the income/loss attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the company has been assessed as $0.

For the year ended June 30, 2020, a voluntary conversion of the Series A, B and C preferred convertible shares would be antidilutive, because all shares of the company would become ordinary shares and the income for the period would be attributable to all such shares.

*Fair value hierarchy*

The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:

<br> ● Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

<br> ● Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly; and

<br> ● Level 3: techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

The fair value of the Group's financial liability is measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The following table gives information about how the fair value of this financial liability is determined.

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

its exposure to interest rate changes to mitigate the impact to its profitability and has used an interest rate swaps to achieve this goal.

In March 2020, Ibex Global Solutions, Inc., entered into a $15 million notional floating to fixed interest-rate swap to hedge the interest rate risk on the first $15 million of its balance outstanding under the PNC Credit Facility. At the time the hedge was executed, all critical terms matched between the hedge and the hedged item. Hedge effectiveness was assessed prospectively at inception, and on an ongoing basis by confirming that the critical terms continue to match. For the year ended June 30, 2022, due to a temporary decline in the line of credit balance, the Company recorded $0.05 million of hedge ineffectiveness which is included in finance expenses. No hedge ineffectiveness was identified for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The fair value of the interest rate swap was $0.2 million asset as of June 30, 2022 and is included in trade and other receivables. As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of the interest rate hedge was $0.3 million liability and is included in trade and other payables.

Effective June 1, 2022, the hedged debt index was changed from LIBOR to SOFR and the hedge documentation was updated to reflect this change on the effective date. The swap was not amended. As a result of Phase II practical expedients, the original hedge designation remains intact, and the Company will continue to apply a qualitative effectiveness assessment method.

The fair value of the interest rate swap as of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 is as follows:

|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Maturity Date** | **USD** <br> **Notional**  | **Floating rate** <br> **receivable**  | **Fixed rate** <br> **payable**  | **Fair value** <br> **(liability) / asset**  |

| **Interest rate swap** |  |  |  |  |
| March 26, 2023 | $15000 | 1M USD-SOFR | 1.43% |  |
| **Fair value as of June 30, 2021** |  |  |  | $(316) |
| **Fair value as of June 30, 2022** |  |  |  | $170 |

---

Based on the Group's debt position as of June 30, 2022 and taking into account the impact of the interest-rate swap referred above; a 1% change in interest rates would impact the finance costs by $0.5 million (June 30, 2021: $0.9 million).

**22.1.2 Foreign currency exchange risk**

The Group serves many of our U.S.-based clients using contact center capacity in various countries such as Philippines, Pakistan, Nicaragua, Honduras, and Jamaica. Although contracts with these clients are typically priced in U.S. dollars, a substantial portion of related costs is denominated in the local currency of the country where services are provided, resulting in foreign currency exposure which could have an impact on our results of operations. Our primary foreign currency exposures are in Philippine Peso, Jamaican Dollar and Pakistan Rupee; to a lesser extent, we have exposures in Euro, Pound Sterling, CFA Franc (XOF), Nicaraguan Cordoba, Canadian Dollar, and Honduran Lempira. There can be no assurance that we can take actions to mitigate such exposure in the future, and if taken, that such actions will be successful or that future changes in currency exchange rates will not have a material adverse impact on our future operating results. A significant change in the value of the U.S. Dollar against the currency of one or more countries where we operate may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Foreign currency exchange risk arises mainly where receivables and payables exist due to transactions entered into in foreign currencies. As such, the Company is exposed to the following foreign currency exchange risks:

------

**IBEX Limited** 

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

<br> ● Transaction foreign currency risk is the exchange risk associated with the time delay between entering into a contract and settling it. Greater time differences exacerbate transaction foreign currency risk, as there is more time for the two exchange rates to fluctuate.

● Translation foreign currency risk is the risk that the Company's non-U.S. Dollar assets and liabilities will change in value as a result of exchange rate changes. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars at the applicable exchange rate prevailing at the applicable date. Any adverse valuation moves due to exchange rate changes at such time are charged directly and could impact our financial position and results of operations. For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Group convert subsidiaries' financial statements as follows:

○ Statements of financial position are translated into U.S. Dollars from local currencies at the period-end exchange rate, shareholders' equity is translated at historical exchange rates prevailing on the transaction date and income and cash flow statements are translated at average exchange rates for the period.

With all other variables held constant, a 5.0% depreciation in the Philippine Peso against the U.S. dollar would have increased net income after taxation in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 by approximately $1.0 million (June 30, 2021: $1.6 million). Conversely, a 5.0% appreciation in the Philippine Peso against the U.S. dollar would have decreased net income after taxation in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 by approximately $1.0 million (June 30, 2021: $1.6 million) . A 5.0% depreciation in Euro against the U.S. dollar would have decreased net loss after taxation in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 by approximately $0.2 million (June 30, 2021: $0.1 million). Conversely, a 5.0% appreciation in the Euro against the U.S. dollar would have increased net loss after taxation in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 by approximately $0.2 million (June 30, 2021: $0.1 million). Similarly, a 5.0% depreciation in the Pakistan Rupee against the U.S. dollar would have increased our net income after taxation in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 by approximately $0.1 million (June 30, 2021: $0.3 million). Conversely, a 5.0% appreciation in the Pakistan Rupee against the U.S. dollar would have decreased our net income after taxation in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 by approximately $0.1 million (June 30, 2021: $0.3 million).

During the year ended June 30, 2022, the Group entered into foreign currency exchange contracts, consisting of offsetting foreign exchange option contracts ("zero-cost collars" or "collars"), to mitigate foreign exchange fluctuations on the Philippine Peso ("PHP") within a certain range and on a certain percentage of its PHP operating costs. The zero-cost collars were recognized, in accordance with IFRS 9, as financial assets (or liabilities, as applicable) at fair value through other comprehensive income.

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

As of June 30, 2022, the fair value of the foreign exchange option contracts that were recognized as financial assets and liabilities at fair value through other comprehensive income were as follows:

---

|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Settlement date** | **Hedged** <br> **currency**  | **Notional** <br> **foreign** <br> **currency rate**  | **Notional** <br> **amount**  | **Fair Value** <br> **assets /** <br> **(liabilities)**  |

| **Foreign currency option contracts - assets** |  |  |  |  |
| July 5, 2022 through June 20, 2023 | PHP | 49.00-54.20 | $21380 | 11 |
| **Fair value as of June 30, 2022** |  |  |  | **11** |
| **Foreign currency option contracts - liabilities** |  |  |  |  |
| July 5, 2022 through June 20, 2023 | PHP | 49.00-54.20 | $21380 | 992 |
| **Fair value as of June 30, 2022** |  |  |  | **992** |

---

The fair value of the zero-cost collars are included in trade and other payables and other current assets in the statement of financial position, as applicable.

The models used to determine the fair value of the cash flow hedges incorporate various inputs such as foreign exchange spot rates, interest rate curves, and the terms of the contracts. These cash flow hedges are considered Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

**22.1.3. Hedge accounting** 

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of cash flow hedging reserve, limited to the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item from inception of the hedge. Ineffectiveness is recognized immediately in finance expenses, as it relates to the interest rate swap, or payroll and related costs, as it relates to the foreign exchange option contracts, in the statements of other comprehensive income. Amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss, in the same line as the recognized hedged item. During the year ended June 30, 2022, the Group reclassified a loss of $0.3 million related to its collars in payroll and related costs.

Movement of the cash flow hedge reserve is as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **June 30,** <br> **2022**  | **June 30,** <br> **2021**  |
| | **(US$'000)** | **(US$'000)** |
| Opening balance | 316 | 518 |
| Loss / (gain) arising on changes in fair value of hedging instruments during the period | 860 | (202) |
| (Loss) / gain reclassified to profit or loss - hedged item has affected profit or loss | (319) |  |
| **Closing balance** | **857** | **316** |

---

**22.2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Credit risk**

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and causes the other party to incur a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk on its accounts receivable mainly in the communications services, technology, consumer, and industrials sectors. The Group mitigates the risk by diversifying its client base in these sectors.

The Group continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, identified either individually or by group, and incorporate this information into its credit risk controls.

The consolidated entities recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are measured at amortized cost. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument's credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain. Based on the historic trend and expected performance of the customers, the Group believes that the below expected credit loss allowance sufficiently covers the risk of default. Trade receivable balances are reviewed closely for changes in creditworthiness, including those related to COVID-19, are integrated into assessment of credit risk and expected credit losses. Forward-looking information including macroeconomic factors such as GDP, unemployment and inflation rate in the countries where Group operates. Based on the

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

current knowledge of COVID-19 developments, the Company assumes that there will be no material deterioration on the trade receivable balances.

In measuring expected credit losses, trade receivables are assessed on a collective basis as they possess shared credit risk characteristics. Trade receivables are grouped based on days past due and also according to the geographical location of customers.

On the above basis the expected credit loss for trade receivables as at June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 was determined as follows:

The Group does not hold any collateral against these assets. Financial assets other than trade debts have no material ECL allowances on those balances as of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021.

**22.3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Liquidity risk**

The Group's policy is to ensure that it will always have sufficient cash to allow it to meet its liabilities when they become due. To achieve this aim, it seeks to maintain cash balances (or agreed facilities) to meet expected requirements for a period of at least 45 days. The Board receives cash flow projections on a quarterly basis as well as information regarding cash balances and investments. The liquidity risk of each group entity is managed at the entity level. Where facilities of group entities need to be increased, approval must be sought by the entity's CFO. Where the amount of the facility is above a certain level, agreement of the Group CFO and the board is needed.

The Group has filed for government assistance in response to the Pandemic in US and Pakistan:

In the US, one subsidiary of the Group has deferred the payment of Social Security (employer portion) from March 2020 - December 2020 amounting to $4.4 million. A payment of $2.6 million and $0.7 million was made in June 2022 and June 2021 respectively. The total amount deferred as of June 30, 2022 was $1.1 million (June 30, 2021: $3.7 million).

**28.** **WARRANT**

On November 13, 2017, and as subsequently amended through December 2020, the Company issued to Amazon.com NV Investment Holdings LLC, a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc. ("Amazon"), a 10-year warrant to acquire approximately 1,429,303 of our Series B Preference Shares and approximately 14,437.4049 of our Series C Preference Shares, totalling 1,443,740 shares, representing 10.0% of our equity on a fully diluted and as -converted basis as of the date of issuance of the warrant. 1,674,017 common shares, representing 10.0% of our equity on a fully diluted basis. The warrant is exercisable, either for cash or on a net issuance basis, at an exercise price per share of $11.20.

The Series B and Series C Preference shares of 1,443,740 shares were subsequently converted to 1,674,017 common shares on the date of the Company's initial public offering (refer to Note 12.1) at an exercise price of $9.42.

The warrant shares vest on the satisfaction of specified milestones tied to Amazon's purchase of services from the Company during a seven and a half year period ending on June 30, 2024. The vesting is partially accelerated in the event of a reorganization transaction (as defined in the warrant).

Amazon is entitled to customary shelf and piggy-back registration rights with respect to the shares issued upon exercise of the warrant. Amazon may not transfer the warrant except to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amazon.

**IBEX Limited** 

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

At June 30, 2020, the Company estimated the warrant liability using a Monte Carlo simulation. As a result of the Company's initial public offering in August 2020, variables that previously required a more complex modeling techniques were eliminated and all inputs into the calculation of the warrant liability are now observable in the public markets; therefore, the Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes valuation technique to calculate the warrant liability going forward.

The Black-Scholes valuation model requires the use of certain estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value adjustment recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. These include the price per share, expected term, expected volatility, expected dividends and the risk-free interest rate.

***Fair value of common shares***

The fair value of the common shares is $16.87 per share as of June 30, 2022.

***Expected term***

The expected term of options granted is 5.37 years from June 30, 2022, and ending November 12, 2027.

***Volatility***

Management used an average volatility of comparable listed companies of 33.8% as the Company does not have sufficient experience in the public markets to calculate its own volatility.

***Expected dividends***

The expected average dividend yield is 0%. The Holding Company does not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.

***Risk-free rate***

The risk-free rate is the continuously compounded United States nominal treasury rate corresponding to the remaining term of the warrant. The average risk-free rate was 3.0%.

There were no warrants cancelled or expired as of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021. At June 30, 2022, 669,607 warrants were vested and at June 30, 2021, 502,205 warrants were vested based on the agreed upon revenue criteria.

The total fair value of the warrant liability included in other non-current liabilities and trade and other payables was $11.3 million and $13.6 million, as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

**Warrant asset**

The Warrant asset is amortized pro rata over the life of the vesting period of the warrant based on actual and projected revenues. The Company recorded contra revenue of approximately $0.3 million and $0.8 million during the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The balance of the warrant asset as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $1.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

**Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements**

*For the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020*

***Fair value hierarchy***

The financial instruments carried at fair value have been categorized under the three levels of the IFRS fair value hierarchy as follows:

<br> ● Level 1 - Instruments valued using quoted prices in active markets are instruments where the fair value can be determined directly from prices which are quoted in active, liquid markets and where the instrument observed in the market is representative

● Level 2 - Instruments valued with valuation techniques using observable market data are instruments where the fair value can be determined by reference to similar instruments trading in active markets, or where a technique is used to derive the valuation but where all inputs to that technique are observable.

● Level 3 - Instruments valued using valuation techniques using market data which is not directly observable are instruments where the fair value cannot be determined directly by reference to market observable information, and some other pricing technique must be employed. Instruments classified in this category have an element which is unobservable and which has a significant impact on the fair value.

Given these guidelines, the warrant liability associated with Amazon would be classified as a Level 3 liability.
