3. Resolution 1 – Ratification of prior issue of Shares and Options
3.1. Background – Offer
On 3 November 2023 the Company invited select sophisticated and professional investors to participate in an Offer made under the Prospectus (which was lodged with ASIC and a copy given to ASX on that date), being a placement of Shares at a price of $0.02 per Share together with one (1) Option for every two (2) Shares subscribed for on the terms set out in Annexure A to this Explanatory Memorandum. Under the Offer, subscribers may also receive a further additional Option ( Additional Option ) for every 2 Shares subscribed for on same terms, subject to Shareholder approval of the issue of those Additional Options being received at the EGM.
Under the Offer, the Company aimed to raise a targeted amount of approximately $1,230,000 before issue costs with the net proceeds to be used (amongst other matters) to complete the final analysis of the healthy volunteer cohort of the ongoing Phase 1 extension study of AD-214 and assist in progressing partnering and/or licensing discussions for the AD-214 product to help progress AD-214 into Phase II studies and beyond, as well as other partnering initiatives related to the Company’s intellectual property and technologies.
As announced to the ASX on 7 November 2023, the Offer is oversubscribed and, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, the Company will raise $1,650,000 before issue costs.
Under the terms of the Offer, the Company issued and allotted:
-
(a) 60,000,000 Shares; and
-
(b) 30,000,000 Options,
on Monday 13 November 2023.
In respect of the Shares and Options which have been issued and allotted by the Company, 15,966,489 Shares and all of the 30,000,000 Options were issued utilising the Company’s existing 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. The remaining 44,033,511 Shares were issued utilising the Company’s additional 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.
As a consequence of the Offer:
-
(a) the total number of Shares on issue in the Company increased by approximately 13.6% from 442,804,077 Shares to 502,804,077 Shares; and
-
(b) the total number of Options in the Company increased by approximately 38.4% from 78,075,186 Options to 108,075,186 Options
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the prior issue and allotment of the 60,000,000 Shares and 30,000,000 Options to selected sophisticated and professional investors.
Further detail is provided below.
Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution and will be passed if more than 50% of the votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote are in favour of the particular Resolution. Shareholders’ attention is drawn to the voting exclusion statement in the Notice.
3.2. Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to certain exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities in any rolling 12 month period other than the amount which is equal to 15% of its fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the start of that 12 month period ( 15% Placement Capacity ).
Listing Rule 7.1A provides that, in addition to issues permitted without prior shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1, an entity that is eligible and obtains shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A may issue or agree to issue during the period for which the approval is valid up to the number of quoted equity securities which represents 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period as adjusted in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A ( 10% Placement Capacity ). The Company is an Eligible Entity and last sought and received Shareholder approval for its 10% Placement Capacity at its annual general meeting held on 22 November 2022 (noting the Company will again seek approval for its 10% Placement Capacity at its upcoming Annual General Meeting to be held on 22 November 2023).
Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where an entity in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 (provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1, thereby “refreshing” the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. Listing Rule 7.4 can also be used to ratify a previous issue of securities made without Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A.
If Resolution 1 is passed, the approval of Shareholders for the issue of Shares and Options pursuant to the Offer will be obtained for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.4. By ratifying these previous issues, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue additional Equity Securities in the future within the limits of Listing Rule 7.1 up to its 15% Placement Capacity and Listing Rule 7.1A up to its 10% Placement Capacity, without needing to seek further Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the approval of Shareholders for the issue of Shares and Options pursuant to the Offer will not be obtained for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.4. This will mean that the Company will not have refreshed its placement capacity, and its ability to issue additional Equity Securities in the future within the limits of Listing Rule 7.1 up to its 15% Placement Capacity and Listing Rule 7.1A up to its 10% Placement Capacity, will have been used to the extent of the 60,000,000 Shares and 30,000,000 Options referred to above. Instead, the Company may need to seek further Shareholder approval to conduct additional placements over the next 12 months.
3.3. Information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the notice of meeting concerning a proposed resolution to ratify an issue of securities in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4 include the following information:
- (a) The names of the allottees (or the basis on which the allottees were identified or selected)
The Shares and Options were issued to sophisticated and professional investors identified by the Company with assistance from its corporate advisor, Peak Asset Management, as persons who would be interested in becoming long-term significant investors in the Company.
-
(b) The number and class of securities the entity issued
-
(i) 60,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company; and
-
(ii) 30,000,000 quoted options each entitling the holder to acquire one fully paid ordinary share in the Company at an exercise price of $0.03 with an expiry date of 29 May 2024 and ASX ticker code 1ADOA.
(iii)
- (c) If the securities are not fully paid ordinary securities, a summary of the material terms of the securities
The Options are not fully paid ordinary securities.
Each Option entitles the holder to acquire one fully paid ordinary share in the Company on exercise, at an exercise price of $0.03. Each Option has an expiry date of 29 May 2024 and a summary of the material terms of the Options is set out in Annexure A to this Explanatory Memorandum.
(d) The dates the securities were issued
The Shares and Options the subject of Resolution 1 were issued on Monday 13 November 2023.
- (e) The price or other consideration the entity has received or will receive for the issue
The 60,000,000 Shares were issued at a price of $0.02 per Share, resulting in a total amount of $1.2 million being received by the Company (before costs of conducting the Offer).
The 30,000,000 Options were issued for nil consideration, as they attached to a subscription for the Shares on the basis of 1 Option for every 2 Shares subscribed, with 1 further Option to also be issued subject to Shareholder approval of Resolution 2 set out in this notice of meeting on the terms set out in the Prospectus for the Offer.
- (f) The intended use of the funds raised
Funds were raised to (after the expenses associated with the Offer are met):
-
(i) complete the final analysis of the healthy volunteer cohort of the ongoing Phase I extension study of AD-214;
-
(ii) progress partnering and/or licensing discussions for the AD-214 product to help progress AD-214 into Phase II studies and beyond;
-
(iii) continue evaluation of synergistic external technology and product collaboration and transaction opportunities to expand and accelerate AdAlta’s product pipeline; and
-
(iv) to the extent funds are still available, fund general working capital.
Directors’ recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1. The Chair intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.
4. Resolutions 2 and 4 – Approval of issue of Additional Options and approval of issue of oversubscriptions for Shares and Options
4.1. Background
As described in the Prospectus, the issue of the following securities the subject of the Offer will be made subject to Shareholder approval being obtained in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1:
-
(a) the issue of one (1) Additional Option for every 2 Shares subscribed for under the Offer; and
-
(b) the issue of any Shares and Options the subject of oversubscriptions.
As announced to the ASX on 7 November 2023, the Offer was oversubscribed and (subject to obtaining the requisite Shareholder approval), will result in the Company receiving a total amount of $1,650,000 (not accounting for the costs of the Offer).
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to certain exceptions, issue or agree to issue more Equity Securities in any rolling 12 month period that exceeds the 15% Placement Capacity.
Listing Rule 7.1A permits a company to increase the limit by an additional 10% with shareholder approval pursuant to rule 7.1A and specifically provides that, in addition to issues permitted without prior shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1, an entity that is eligible and obtains shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A may issue or agree to issue during the period for which the approval is valid up to the 10% Placement Capacity.
The Shares and Options issued by the Company pursuant to the Offer, which are the subject of Resolution 1, were issued and allotted utilising the Company’s existing 15% Placement Capacity and 10% Placement Capacity and no relevant exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1, as set out in Listing Rule 7.2, apply to the Company’s issue of those securities. Accordingly, the issue of all other securities under the Offer (i.e. the issue of securities that fall outside of the Company’s placement capacity) require Shareholder approval.
In view of the above, Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval to issue 30,000,000 Additional Options to subscribers in accordance with the terms of the Offer and Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval to issue the Shares and Options the subject of oversubscriptions being:
-
(a) 22,500,000 Shares; and
