SECTION 02

Matters Under Investigation

Public records and ASIC filings reveal a pattern of conduct that may warrant further investigation under the Corporations Act 2001.

Indicators of Financial Distress

VentureCrowd Holdings has failed to meet 11 consecutive scheduled settlement payments. Under section 588E(3) of the Corporations Act, failure to pay debts as they fall due may give rise to a presumption of insolvency.

11 payments missed since March 2025

Backdated ASIC Filings

18 Form 484 share issue notifications were filed with ASIC in January 2026, backdated between 2 weeks and 9.5 months. This may constitute falsification of records under section 1307.

18 backdated filings identified

Asset Structure Concerns

Approximately $26.7 million in assets—including property SPV shares, promissory notes, and trust interests—were structured outside the General Security Agreement, potentially limiting creditor recourse to these assets.

~$26.7M outside GSA security

Circular Shareholding

Shares were issued to VentureCrowd Nominees Pty Ltd—a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary—increasing its holding from 19.16% to 23.9%. This circular structure maintains director control through potential insolvency.

1.66M shares to subsidiary
