NoviqTech is asking shareholders to approve the purchase of software and source code from Morphotech, a Singapore firm linked to a former director. The IP powers its Carbon Central and Fuel Central platforms. Without approval, the company must stop using the IP by the end of 2026. The deal is priced at AUD 67,000 plus GST and falls under ASX related-party rules. Shareholders vote directly on whether NoviqTech retains control over the technology that underpins its carbon and fuel management products. The outcome will determine long-term operational continuity for those platforms. For investors tracking carbon software companies, this vote is a key governance and operational risk event. The low purchase price does not reflect the value of the IP if lost, so the decision carries outsized weight.

The vote determines whether NoviqTech keeps using the IP for Carbon Central and Fuel Central. If shareholders say no, they lose access by end of 2026. Worth reading for anyone tracking carbon software plays.

AUD 67k for IP that underpins two core platforms seems cheap, but related-party rules make it a governance test more than a price test. The real question is what the platforms are worth without the code.

The interim royalty-free license means they can keep operating until the vote. But if shareholders reject it, they have to stop using the IP entirely. That would likely kill the platforms. Timeline matters: the vote is before December 2026.

Related-party transactions under ASX Listing Rule 10.1 are common, but the consequence here is binary: approve or lose the tech. For a carbon accounting platform, that creates real operational risk. Investors should look at the valuation of the IP beyond the price tag.
