4. Resolutions 1 and 2 – Ratification of prior issue of Shares to New Life Sciences Capital, LLC and grant of First NLSC Investment Right to New Life Sciences Capital, LLC
4.1. Background
As announced on 29 April 2024, the Company entered into an investment agreement (the NLSC Agreement ) with New Life Sciences Capital, LLC ( NLSC ) pursuant to which NLSC agreed to invest an aggregate amount of up to $3,000,000 in the Company (the NLSC Investment ), on the terms and conditions set out in the NLSC Agreement and as further described below. References to New Life Sciences Capital, LLC or NLSC in this Notice include New Life Sciences Capital, LLC and any designee or nominee of New Life Sciences Capital, LLC.
Concurrently with the announcement of the NLSC Agreement, the Company also announced the entry into an investment agreement (the Meurs Agreement ) with Skiptan Pty Ltd as trustee for the P&M Meurs Family Trust, being an entity associated with existing shareholder, the Meurs Group ( Meurs ) pursuant to which Meurs agreed to invest an aggregate amount of up to $700,000 in the Company (the Meurs Investment ), on the terms and conditions set out in the Meurs Agreement and as further described in Section 5 below.
For further details regarding the NLSC Investment and the Meurs Investment, please refer to the announcement titled “New institutional investment enables growth” released by the Company on 29 April 2024.
The NLSC Investment is comprised of up to four tranches, each by way of pre-payment for Shares in the Company ( Placement Shares ), as further described below.
NLSC made an initial investment of $800,000 (the First NLSC Investment ) that was received by the Company on 8 May 2024 (the First Closing ). As consideration for the First NLSC Investment, at the First Closing, the Company granted NLSC the right (the First NLSC Investment Right ) to be issued $872,000 worth of Placement Shares, on the terms and conditions set out in the NLSC Agreement. As of the date of this Notice, the outstanding balance of the First NLSC Investment Right was $872,000. The First NLSC Investment Right was granted pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
In addition, subject to the Company exercising its right to receive additional funding (the Funding Right ), the Company may access additional funding of up to $1,400,000 under the NLSC Agreement as set out below.
If (and only if) the Company exercises its Funding Right, NLSC will make a second investment of $700,000 (the Second NLSC Investment ) in the Company. As consideration for the Second NLSC Investment, the Company will grant NLSC the right (the Second NLSC Investment Right ) to be issued $763,000 worth of Placement Shares, on the terms and conditions set out in the NLSC Agreement. If the Company exercises its Funding Right, the Second NLSC Investment will occur on a date determined by NLSC that is after the exercise date of the Funding Right and on or prior to 1 November 2024 (the Second Closing ). NLSC will not be obligated to provide the Second NLSC Investment, or may reduce the size of the Second NLSC Investment, if the market price of the Company’s Shares is below $0.015 and does not recover to above that level within three months after NLSC notifies the Company. The proceeds from the Second NLSC Investment will not exceed 5% of the Company’s market capitalisation, without NLSC’s consent. Unless and until the Company exercises the Funding Right, the Company has no contractual obligation in relation to the Second NLSC Investment; accordingly, the Second NLSC Investment is entirely optional at the Company’s discretion. The Company is not seeking Shareholder approval of the Second NLSC Investment at the Meeting.
9
In addition, if (and only if) the Company exercises its Funding Right, with the consent of NLSC, NLSC will make a further investment of $700,000 in the Company. In consideration for this third investment, the Company will grant NLSC the right (the Third NLSC Investment ) to be issued $763,000 worth of Placement Shares, on the terms and conditions set out in the NLSC Agreement. If the Company exercises its Funding Right, the Third Investment will occur on a date determined by NLSC that is after the exercise date of the Funding Right and on or prior to 8 May 2025 (the Third Closing ). Unless and until the Company exercises the Funding Right, the Company has no contractual obligation in relation to the Third NLSC Investment; accordingly, the Third NLSC Investment is entirely optional at the Company’s discretion. The Company is not seeking Shareholder approval of the Third NLSC Investment. Moreover, the Third Investment may only occur with the consent of NLSC.
If the Company does not affirmatively exercise the Funding Right prior to 31 August 2024 (which may be extended by NLSC), the Company will relinquish the right to receive the Second NLSC Investment and the Third NLSC Investment.
In order for the Company to validly exercise its Funding Right to receive the Second NLSC Investment and (with NLSC’s consent) the Third NLSC Investment, the Company must have sufficient placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 on the date that the Company exercises its Funding Right.
Finally, subject to the mutual consent of the Company and NLSC, the NLSC may provide additional investments raising up to $800,000 (the Optional NLSC Investment ) in the aggregate as consideration for the grant of the right to be issued Placement Shares worth up to $800,000. The Optional NLSC Investment, if agreed, would occur within the following twelve months after the First Closing. No obligations arise in relation to an Optional NLSC Investment until mutual agreement is reached.
Each of the First NLSC Investment, the Second NLSC Investment and the Third NLSC Investment may be referred to herein as a NLSC Investment or collectively as the NLSC Investments , each of the First NLSC Investment Right, the Second NLSC Investment Right and the Third NLSC Investment Right may be referred to herein as a NLSC Investment Right or collectively as the NLSC Investment Rights , and each of the First Closing, the Second Closing and the Third Closing may be referred to herein as a Closing .
The First NLSC Investment Right constitutes an ‘Equity Security’ under the Listing Rules (as it constitutes the right to unissued Shares) and a ‘Convertible Security’ under the Listing Rules (as it is convertible to Shares in accordance with the terms of the NLSC Agreement).
The funding contemplated by each NLSC Investment is subject to conditions precedent customary for investment agreements of the nature of the NLSC Agreement (including the obtaining of all required consents and approval and the existence of no event of default or potential event of default under the NLSC Agreement).
The Company has the right to repay two thirds of the First NLSC Investment Right (and the entire First NLSC Investment Right with NLSC’s consent) in cash at 100% of its face value (and without a fee or penalty) within 120 days of the First Closing.
The Company will also have the right (but not an obligation) to opt to repay the applicable part of each NLSC Investment Right by making a payment to NLSC equal to the market value of the Shares that would have otherwise been issued, instead of issuing Shares to NLSC.
In relation to each NLSC Investment Right, the Company will issue Placement Shares, at NLSC’s request by notice to the Company (a Settlement Notice ), from time to time, one or multiple times, within thirty-six months of the Closing Date of the related NLSC Investment (the End Date ). The number of Placement
10
Shares so issued by the Company will be determined by applying the Purchase Price defined below to the any part, or all, of any outstanding NLSC Investment Right, but subject to the Floor Price (as set out below).
If a NLSC Investment Right remains outstanding on its End Date, in whole or in part, NLSC will be required to deliver a Settlement Notice to the Company in relation to that outstanding NLSC Investment Right on the first ASX trading day following the End Date, provided that the Company may elect to repay the outstanding balance of the NLSC Investment Right in cash (without a fee or penalty) following the End Date. The End Date for the First NLSC Investment Right is 8 May 2027.
The issue price of the Placement Shares (the Purchase Price ) was initially equal to $0.06 each, being a premium of approximately 93.5% to the closing price of the Company’s shares on 26 April 2024.
Subject to a floor price of $0.02 (the Floor Price ), the Purchase Price reset after the initial month to be the average of the five daily volume-weighted average prices selected by NLSC during the 20 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of a Settlement Notice from NLSC to issue Placement Shares, less a 10% discount.
If the Purchase Price formula results in a price that is less than the Floor Price, the Company may forego issuing Placement Shares and instead opt to repay the applicable part of the NLSC Investment Right in cash (with a 12% premium), subject to the NLSC’s right to receive Placement Shares at the Floor Price in lieu of such cash repayment.
Under the terms of the NLSC Agreement, on 29 April 2024, the Company issued 5,800,000 Shares to NLSC, comprising:
-
(a) 3,800,000 Shares (the Initial Placement Shares ) towards the ultimate number of Placement Shares to be issued. Alternatively, in lieu of applying these Shares towards the aggregate number of Placement Shares to be issued by the Company, NLSC may make a further payment to the Company equal to the value of these Shares determined using the Purchase Price at the time of the payment; and
-
(b) 2,000,000 Shares (the Fee Shares ) in satisfaction of a 2% fee in relation to the NLSC Investment in lieu of cash.
The 3,800,000 Initial Placement Shares and the 2,000,000 Fee Shares are referred to herein as the Fee and Initial Placement Shares .
4.2. Approvals sought
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the prior issue and allotment of the 5,800,000 Fee and Initial Placement Shares to NLSC.
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the grant of the First NLSC Investment Right to NLSC. As set out in Section 4.1 above, the First NLSC Investment Right constitutes an ‘equity security’ and a ‘convertible security’ under the Listing Rules. As of the date of this Notice, an outstanding balance of $872,000 worth of Placement Shares remain to be issued pursuant to the First NLSC Investment Right.
Further detail is provided elsewhere in this Notice.

4.3. 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 7.4 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.
If Resolution 1 is passed, 5,800,000 Fee and Initial Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% Placement Capacity, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, 5,800,000 Fee and Initial Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company's 15% Placement Capacity, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 5,800,000 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 2 is passed, the grant of the First NLSC Investment Right, and hence the number of Placement Shares to be issued in relation to the outstanding balance of the First NLSC Investment Right, would be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% Placement Capacity, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date on which the First NLSC Investment Right was granted.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the grant of the First NLSC Investment Right, and hence the number of Placement Shares to be issued in relation to the outstanding balance of the First NLSC Investment Right, would be included in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date on which the First NLSC Investment Right was granted.
4.4. 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 Fee and Initial Placement Shares were issued to New Life Sciences Capital, LLC.
The First NLSC Investment Right has been granted to New Life Sciences Capital, LLC. Shares issued on exercise of the First NLSC Investment Right may be issued to a nominee or designee of NLSC.
-
(b)
-
The number and class of securities the entity issued
The Fee and Initial Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the Company, and rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.
The First NLSC Investment Right in the amount of $872,000, was granted to NLSC on the terms summarized in Section 4.1 above.
12
-
(c) If the securities are not fully paid ordinary securities, a summary of the material terms of the securities
-
(i) Who can convert them.
New Life Sciences Capital, LLC has the right to exercise the First NLSC Investment Right.
- (ii) When they can be converted.
The First NLSC Investment Right can be exercised, from time to time, at one or multiple times, by the End Date for the First NLSC Investment Right, being 8 May 2027.
- (iii) Any conditions that have to be met before they can be converted.
Not applicable.
- (iv) The class of equity securities into which they convert.
Placement Shares issuable in relation to the First NLSC Investment Right will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.
- (v) If they convert into something other than fully paid ordinary securities, a summary of the material terms of the underlying securities.
Not applicable.
- (vi) The price at which they convert and the resulting number of underlying securities into which they convert.
The number of Placement Shares to be issued pursuant to the First NLSC Investment Right will be determined based on the Purchase Price, being the average of the five daily volumeweighted average prices selected by NLSC during the 20 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of a Settlement Notice from NLSC to issue Placement Shares, less a 10% discount. However, if the Purchase Price formula results in a price that is less than the Floor Price of $0.02, the Company may forego issuing Placement Shares, and instead opt to repay the applicable part of the First NLSC Investment Right in cash (with a 12% premium), subject to the NLSC’s right to receive Placement Shares at the Floor Price in lieu of such cash repayment.
The Company also has the right (but not the obligation) to forego issuing Placement Shares following NLSC’s request for issue and instead opt to repay the applicable part of the First NLSC Investment Right by making a payment to NLSC equal to the market value of the Placement Shares that would have otherwise been issued.
- (vii) If the price at which they convert is not fixed but determined by reference to a formula, a description of the formula and at least 3 worked examples showing how the formula will operate in practice under different assumptions.
Following the exercise of the First NLSC Investment Right, the Company must issue to NLSC Placements Shares worth $872,000 in the aggregate, calculated in accordance with the Purchase Price formula described above, subject to the Floor Price.
For illustrative purposes only, the table below shows examples of the number of Placement Shares that may be issued in relation to the entire outstanding balance of the First NLSC Investment Right, based on:
- (a) $0.0225, representing a 10% discount to the closing price of Shares on 13 June 2024 of $0.025;
13
-
(b) $0.01125, representing half the assumed price in paragraph (a);
-
(c) $0.045, representing double the assumed price in paragraph (a); and
-
(d) $0.02, representing the Floor Price.
| Price | Maximum Number of Placement Shares |
|---|---|
| $0.0225 | 38,755,556 |
| $0.01125 | 77,511,111 |
| $0.045 | 19,377,778 |
| $0.02 | 43,600,000 |
The Company notes that the figures set forth in the table above are illustrative only and the actual number of Placement Shares issued on exercise of the outstanding balance of the First NLSC Investment Right will vary depending on the actual Purchase Price used in relation to such issues. The Company has the discretion not to issue Placement Shares if the price is below the Floor Price of $0.02; however, the Company may decide not to exercise such discretion and, accordingly, an issue may be highly dilutive to Shareholders if the market price of the Shares falls substantially over the period until the Placement Shares are issued. Any Placement Shares issued to NLSC in respect of the First NLSC Investment Right will fall within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9, and will therefore be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1. In addition, the Initial Placement Shares may also be applied towards the satisfaction of the Company’s obligation to issue Placement Shares pursuant to the First NLSC Investment Right, at the election of NLSC.
- (d) The dates the securities were issued
The Fee and Initial Placement Shares were issued on 29 April 2024.
The First NLSC Investment Right was granted to NLSC on 8 May 2024.
- (e) The price or other consideration the entity has received or will receive for the issue
The 2,000,000 Fee Shares were issued at a deemed issue price of $0.03 per Share.
The 3,800,000 Initial Placement Shares were issued in consideration of NLSC’s agreement to undertake the First NLSC Investment (and thus for no cash consideration). As set out in Section 4.1 above, in accordance with the terms of the NLSC Agreement, NLSC may elect to apply some or all of the Initial Placement Shares towards the aggregate number of Placement Shares which are required to be issued by the Company in respect of the exercise of NLSC’s right to be issued Placement Shares in relation to the First NLSC Investment Right or, alternatively, make the payment to the Company in respect of the Initial Placement Shares calculated as set out in Section 4.1 above.
The First NLSC Investment Right was granted in consideration of the First NLSC Investment, being the $800,000 payment by NLSC in accordance with the terms described in Section 4.1 above. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the grant of the First NLSC Investment Right or the issue of the Placement Shares in relation thereto.
14
- (f) The intended use of the funds raised
Funds were raised to (after the expenses associated with the First NLSC Investment are met):
-
(i) accelerate progress of the recently announced cellular immunotherapy Memorandum of Understanding with SYNthesis BioVentures as announced on the ASX on 8 April 2024; and
-
(ii) progress internal i-body® programs independently of the availability of funding from ongoing partnering initiatives for lead asset AD-214.
4.5. Floor price
The Purchase Price of the Placement Shares issuable in relation to the First NLSC Investment Right is subject to a Floor Price of $0.02 per Share. If the Purchase Price formula would result in a Purchase Price that is less than the Floor Price, the Company has the option to forego issuing Placement Shares at that price and may instead opt to repay the applicable subscription amount in cash (with a 12% premium), subject to NLSC’s right to receive Placement Shares at the Floor Price in lieu of such cash repayment.
Should the Company not exercise their option to repay the applicable subscription amount in cash at a 12% premium in those circumstances (for example, if it does not have available funds to do so), then the Company must issue the Placement Shares at the Purchase Price, without that price being subject to the Floor Price. Accordingly, such an issue in these circumstances could be highly dilutive.
Directors’ recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2. The Chair intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.
5. Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 – Ratification of prior issue of Shares and grant of First Meurs Investment Right, and approval of grant of Second Meurs Investment Right, to Skiptan Pty Ltd as trustee for the P&M Meurs Family Trust
5.1. Background – Placement
As described above, concurrently with the NLSC Investment, the Company entered into the Meurs Agreement, pursuant to which Meurs agreed to make the Meurs Investment, on the terms and conditions set out in the Meurs Agreement and as further described below.
The Meurs Investment is comprised of up to two tranches, each by way of pre-payment for Shares in the Company ( Placement Shares ), on substantially the same terms as the NLSC Investment (except as described below).
Meurs made an initial investment of $400,000 (the First Meurs Investment ) that was received by the Company on 14 May 2024 (the First Meurs Closing ). As consideration for the First Meurs Investment, at the First Meurs Closing, the Company granted Meurs the right (the First Meurs Investment Right ) to be issued $436,000 worth of Placement Shares, on the terms and conditions set out in the Meurs Agreement (which are substantially the same as the terms of the NLSC Investment, as described in Section 4.1 above). As of the date of this Notice, the outstanding balance of the First Meurs Investment Right was $436,000. The First Meurs Investment Right was granted pursuant to the Company’s placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
15
In addition, subject to the Company exercising its right to receive additional funding (the Meurs Funding Right ), the Company may access additional funding of $300,000 under the Meurs Agreement as follows. If (and only if) the Company exercises its Meurs Funding Right, Meurs will make a second investment of $300,000 (the Second Meurs Investment ) in the Company. As consideration for the Second Meurs Investment, the Company will grant Meurs the right (the Second Meurs Investment Right ) to be issued $327,000 worth of Placement Shares. If the Company exercises its Meurs Funding Right, the Second Meurs Investment will occur within one month of the Company exercising the Meurs Funding Right (the Second Meurs Closing ). Unless and until the Company exercises the Meurs Funding Right, the Company has no contractual obligation in relation to the Second Meurs Investment; accordingly, the Second Meurs Investment is entirely optional at the Company’s discretion. The Company is seeking Shareholder approval of the Second Meurs Investment Right at the Meeting.
The First Meurs Investment Right constitutes an ‘Equity Security’ under the Listing Rules (as it constitutes the right to unissued Shares) and a ‘Convertible Security’ under the Listing Rules (as it is convertible to Shares in accordance with the terms of the Meurs Agreement).
The Second Meurs Investment Right, upon grant at the Second Meurs Closing and payment of the Second Meurs Investment, will constitute an ‘Equity Security’ under the Listing Rules (as it constitutes the right to unissued Shares) and a ‘Convertible Security’ under the Listing Rules (as it is convertible to Shares in accordance with the terms of the Meurs Agreement).
If the Company does not affirmatively exercise the Meurs Funding Right prior to 30 September 2024, the Company will relinquish the right to receive the Second Meurs Investment.
In order for the Company to validly exercise the Meurs Funding Right to receive the Second NLSC Investment, the Company must have sufficient placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 on the date that the Company exercises the Meurs Funding Right.
The End Date for both the First Meurs Investment Right and the Second Meurs Investment Right is 36 months from the date of the First Meurs Closing, being 14 May 2027.
Under the terms of the Meurs Agreement, on 9 May 2024 the Company issued 466,667 Shares (the Meurs Fee Shares ) to Meurs in satisfaction of a 2% fee in relation to the Meurs Investment in lieu of cash.
5.2. Approval sought
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the prior issue and allotment of the 466,667 Meurs Fee Shares to Meurs.
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the grant of the First Meurs Investment Right to Meurs. As set out in Section 5.1 above, the First Meurs Investment Right constitutes an ‘Equity Security’ and a ‘Convertible Security’ under the Listing Rules. As of the date of this Notice, an outstanding balance of $436,000 worth of Placement Shares remain to be issued pursuant to the First Meurs Investment Right.
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 for the grant of the Second Meurs Investment Right to Meurs within 3 months of the date of the Meeting. It is noted that there is no guarantee that the Second Meurs Investment Right will be granted within that 3 month period (as it may be granted after that 3 month period), but that any Shareholder approval obtained under Listing Rule 7.1 will only be valid for that 3 month period. As set out in Section 5.1 above, if and when the Meurs Funding Right is exercised and the Second Meurs Investment is received by the Company, the Second
16
Meurs Investment Right will constitute an ‘Equity Security’ and a ‘Convertible Security’ under the Listing Rules.
Further detail is provided elsewhere in this Notice.
- 5.3. 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 7.4 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 3 is passed, 466,667 Meurs Fee Share will be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% Placement Capacity, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 3 is not passed, 466,667 Meurs Fee Share will continue to be included in the Company's 15% Placement Capacity, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 466,667 Equity Securities for the 12 month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 4 is passed, the grant of the First Meurs Investment Right, and hence the number of Placement Shares to be issued in relation to the outstanding balance of the First Meurs Investment Right, would be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% Placement Capacity, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date on which the First Meurs Investment Right was granted.
If Resolution 4 is not passed, the grant of the First Meurs Investment Right, and hence the number of Placement Shares to be issued in relation to the outstanding balance of the First Meurs Investment Right, would be included in calculating the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date on which the First Meurs Investment Right was granted.
If Resolution 5 is passed, and if, during the 3 months after the date of the Meeting, the Meurs Funding Right is exercised and Meurs pays the Company the $300,000 the subject of the Second Meurs Investment, then the grant of the Second Meurs Investment Right, and hence the number of Placement Shares to be issued in relation to the outstanding balance of the Second Meurs Investment Right, would be excluded in calculating the Company's 15% Placement Capacity, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date on which the Second Meurs Investment Right is granted. It is noted that there is no guarantee that the Second Meurs Investment Right will be granted within that 3 month period (as it may be granted after that 3 month period), but that any Shareholder approval obtained under Listing Rule 7.1 will only be valid for that 3 month period.
If Resolution 5 is not passed (or the Second Meurs Investment Right is not granted within the period of 3 months after the date of the Meeting), then the Company will only be able to exercise the Meurs
17
Funding Right (and accordingly grant the Second Meurs Investment Right to Meurs) if it has sufficient capacity under the Company’s 15% Placement Capacity (taking into account the Placement Shares to be issued pursuant to the Second Meurs Investment Right, in accordance with the Listing Rules). This would effectively decrease the number of Equity Securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date on which the Meurs Funding Right is exercised (which itself constitutes an agreement to grant the Second Meurs Investment Right to Meurs). Alternatively, if there is insufficient capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, the grant of the Second Meurs Investment Right will not proceed, and the Company will not be able to proceed with the Second Meurs Investment (and thus receive the additional $300,000 of funding).
For clarity, the Second Meurs Investment Right is not contingent in any way on Resolution 5 being passed, and even if Resolution 5 is passed, the Second Meurs Investment Right may be granted after the 3 months following the date of the Meeting (in which case the Second Meurs Investment Right will not be granted in reliance of Resolution 5).
5.4. Information required by Listing Rules 7.3 and 7.5
Listing Rules 7.3 and 7.5 require that the notice of meeting concerning a proposed resolution to approve an issue of securities under Listing Rule 7.1 or ratify an issue of securities in accordance with Listing Rule 7.4 include the following information:
- (a) The names of the allottees or proposed allottees (or the basis on which the allottees were identified or selected)
The Meurs Fee Shares were issued to Skiptan Pty Ltd as trustee for the P&M Meurs Family Trust.
The First Meurs Investment Right has been granted to Skiptan Pty Ltd as trustee for the P&M Meurs Family Trust. Shares issued on exercise of the First Meurs Investment Right may be issued to a nominee or designee of Skiptan Pty Ltd.
If the Second Meurs Investment Right is granted, the Second Meurs Investment Right will be granted to Skiptan Pty Ltd as trustee for the P&M Meurs Family Trust. Shares issued on exercise of the Second Meurs Investment Right may be issued to a nominee or designee of Skiptan Pty Ltd.
- (b) The number and class of securities the entity issued (or proposes to issue)
The Meurs Fee Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the Company, and rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.
The First Meurs Investment Right in the amount of $436,000, was granted to Meurs on the terms summarised in Section 5.1 above.
If the Second Meurs Investment Right is granted (upon which the Second Meurs Investment Right will constitute the issue of a ‘convertible security’ within the meaning of the Listing Rules), the Second Meurs Investment Right in the amount of $327,000, will be granted to Meurs on the terms summarised in Section 5.1 above.
-
(c) If the securities are not fully paid ordinary securities, a summary of the material terms of the securities
-
(i) Who can convert them.
Skiptan Pty Ltd as trustee for the P&M Meurs Family Trust has the right to exercise the First Meurs Investment Right and, upon grant of the Second Meurs Investment Right, will have the right to exercise the Second Meurs Investment Right.
- (ii) When they can be converted.
The First Meurs Investment Right can be exercised, from time to time, at one or multiple times, by the End Date for the First Meurs Investment Right, being 14 May 2027.
If the Second Meurs Investment Right is granted (upon which the Second Meurs Investment Right will constitute the issue of a ‘convertible security’ within the meaning of the Listing Rules), the Second Meurs Investment Right can be exercised, from time to time, at one or multiple times, by the End Date for the Second Meurs Investment Right, being 14 May 2027.
(iii) Any conditions that have to be met before they can be converted.
Not applicable.
- (iv) The class of equity securities into which they convert.
Placement Shares issuable in relation to the First Meurs Investment Right and, if granted, the Second Meurs Investment Right will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.
- (v) If they convert into something other than fully paid ordinary securities, a summary of the material terms of the underlying securities.
Not applicable.
- (vi) The price at which they convert and the resulting number of underlying securities into which they convert.
The number of Placement Shares to be issued pursuant to the First Meurs Investment Right and (if granted) the Second Meurs Investment Right will be determined based on the Purchase Price, being the average of the five daily volume-weighted average prices selected by Meurs during the 20 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of a Settlement Notice from Meurs to issue Placement Shares, less a 10% discount. However, if the Purchase Price formula results in a price that is less than the Floor Price of $0.02, the Company may forego issuing Placement Shares, and instead opt to repay the applicable part of the First Meurs Investment Right or Second Meurs Investment Right in cash (with a 12% premium), subject to the Meurs’ right to receive Placement Shares at the Floor Price in lieu of such cash repayment.
- (vii) If the price at which they convert is not fixed but determined by reference to a formula, a description of the formula and at least 3 worked examples showing how the formula will operate in practice under different assumptions.
Following the exercise of the First Meurs Investment Right, the Company must issue the Meurs Placements Shares worth $436,000 in the aggregate, calculated in accordance with the Purchase Price formula described above, subject to the Floor Price.
Following the exercise of the Second Meurs Investment Right (if it is granted), the Company must issue the Meurs Placements Shares worth $327,000 in the aggregate, calculated in accordance with the Purchase Price formula described above, subject to the Floor Price.
For illustrative purposes only, the table below shows examples of the number of Placement Shares that may be issued in relation to the entire outstanding balance of the First Meurs
19
Investment Right and the Second Meurs Investment Right (assuming it is granted) based on:
-
(a) $0.0225, representing a 10% discount to the closing price of Shares on 13 June 2024;
-
(b) $0.01125, representing half the assumed price in paragraph (a);
-
(c) $0.045, representing double the assumed price in paragraph (a); and
-
(d) $0.02, representing the Floor Price.
| Price | Maximum Number of Placement Shares in relation to First Meurs Investment Right |
Maximum Number of Placement Shares in relation to Second Meurs Investment Right |
|---|---|---|
| $0.0225 | 19,377,778 | 14,533,333 |
| $0.01125 | 38,755,556 | 29,066,667 |
| $0.045 | 9,688,889 | 7,266,667 |
| $0.02 | 21,800,000 | 16,350,000 |
The Company notes that the figures set forth in the table above are illustrative only and the actual number of Placement Shares issued on exercise of the outstanding balance of the First Meurs Investment Right and, if granted, the Second Meurs Investment Right will vary depending on the actual Purchase Price used in relation to such issues. The Company has the discretion not to issue Placement Shares if the price is below the Floor Price of $0.02; however, the Company may decide not to exercise such discretion and, accordingly, an issue may be highly dilutive to Shareholders if the market price of the Shares falls substantially over the period until the Placement Shares are issued. Any Placement Shares issued to Meurs in respect of the First Meurs Investment Right and, if granted, the Second Meurs Investment Right will fall within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9, and will therefore be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
- (d) The dates the securities were issued (or will be issued)
The Meurs Fee Shares were issued on 9 May 2024.
The First Meurs Investment Right was granted to Skiptan Pty Ltd as trustee for the P&M Meurs Family Trust on 29 April 2024.
The Second Meurs Investment Right will be granted following the exercise of the Meurs Funding Right and payment of the Second Meurs Investment, within 3 months of the date of this Meeting in order for the Second Meurs Investment Right to be granted in reliance of Resolution 5 (and if it is not, the Company may still exercise the Meurs Funding Right and proceed with the Second Meurs Investment after that period, provided that the Second Meurs Investment Right is within the Company’s then-available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 or a subsequent Shareholder approval applies). The Company notes that it has not yet made a firm decision whether or not to exercise the Meurs Funding Right within such 3 month period, or at all.
- (e) The price or other consideration the entity has received or will receive for the issue
The 466,667 Meurs Fee Shares were issued at a deemed issue price of $0.03 per Share.
20
The First Meurs Investment Right was granted in consideration of the First Meurs Investment, being the $400,000 payment by Meurs in accordance with the terms described in Section 4.1 above. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the grant of the First Meurs Investment Right or the issue of the Placement Shares in relation thereto.
The grant of the Second Meurs Investment Right (if it is granted) will be made in consideration of the Second Meurs Investment, being the $300,000 payment by Meurs in accordance with the terms described in Sections 4.1 and 5.1 above. The Company has not and will not receive any other consideration for the grant of the Second Meurs Investment Right or the issue of the Placement Shares in relation thereto.
- (f) The intended use of the funds raised
Funds were raised to (after the expenses associated with the Meurs Investment are met):
-
(i) accelerate progress of the recently announced cellular immunotherapy Memorandum of Understanding with SYNthesis BioVentures as announced on the ASX on 8 April 2024; and
-
(ii) progress internal i-body® programs independently of the availability of funding from ongoing partnering initiatives for lead asset AD-214.
5.5. Floor price
The Purchase Price of the Placement Shares issuable in relation to the First Meurs Investment Right and (if granted) Second Meurs Investment Right is subject to a Floor Price of $0.02 per Share. If the Purchase Price formula would result in a Purchase Price that is less than the Floor Price, the Company has the option to forego issuing Placement Shares at that price and may instead opt to repay the applicable subscription amount in cash (with a 12% premium), subject to Meur’s right to receive Placement Shares at the Floor Price in lieu of such cash repayment.
Should the Company not exercise their option to repay the applicable subscription amount in cash at a 12% premium in those circumstances (for example, if it does not have available funds to do so), then the Company must issue the Placement Shares at the Purchase Price, without that price being subject to the Floor Price. Accordingly, such an issue in these circumstances could be highly dilutive.
Directors’ recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 3 and 4. The Chair intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 3 and 4.
6. Resolution 6 – Ratification of prior issue of Shares to nominee of Grannus Securities
6.1. Background
The Company issued 1,000,000 Shares to Andrew P O’Brien Holdings Pty Ltd as trustee for Andrew P O’Brien, a nominee of Grannus Securities Pty Ltd ( Grannus Shares ) on 29 April 2024 for the provision of advisory services in lieu of cash fees. The deemed issue price per Share was $0.03 per Share;
The Grannus Shares were issued utilising the Company’s existing 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly by issuing the Grannus Shares, the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval within those limits was accordingly reduced.
21
Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the prior issue of the Grannus Shares to the person noted above. If Resolution 6 is approved, it means that the Company’s 15% placement capacity will be ‘refreshed’, allowing it to issue further securities without Shareholder approval in the future.
If Resolution 6 is not approved, then the Company’s ability to raise capital without further Shareholder approval will be reduced, which may hinder its ability to raise capital quickly and efficiently in order to take advantage of future opportunities.
Further detail is provided below.
6.2. 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 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.
If Resolution 6 is passed, the approval of Shareholders for the issue of Grannus Shares will be obtained for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.4. By ratifying this previous issue, 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.
6.3. 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)

(b) The number and class of securities the entity issued

22
- (c) If the securities are not fully paid ordinary securities, a summary of the material terms of the securities

- (d) The dates the securities were issued

- (e) The price or other consideration the entity has received or will receive for the issue
The deemed issue price for the consideration was $0.03 per Share for the Grannus Shares, being a total deemed issue price of $30,000.
- (f) The intended use of the funds raised
Funds were not raised from the issue of the Grannus Shares as the Shares were issued in lieu of cash for advisory services rendered.
