This Explanatory Memorandum sets out further information regarding the proposed Resolutions to be considered by Shareholders of Adherium Limited ( Adherium or the Company ) at the Extraordinary General Meeting to be held commencing at 9:00am (AEST) on Friday, 30 April 2021.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders read this Explanatory Memorandum before determining whether or not to support the Resolutions.

1. Resolution 1 – Ratification of prior issue of 169,899,002 Shares

1.1 Background

As announced on 18 March 2021, the Company received commitments from sophisticated and professional investors for a placement of 169,899,002 Shares ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ) at $0.015 each to raise approximately $2,500,000, which funding was received on 24 March 2021 ( Tranche 1 Placement ). The Company issued the Tranche 1 Placement under its available capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A as follows:

  • (a) Listing Rule 7.1 – 101,939,401 Shares, and (b) Listing Rule 7.1A – 67,959,601 Shares

1.2 ASX Regulatory Requirements

Under Listing Rule 7.1, a company may issue up to 15% of its ordinary share capital in any 12month rolling period without shareholder approval. Under Listing Rule 7.1A, a company may issue up to a further 10% of its ordinary share capital in any 12-month rolling period without shareholder approval for that particular issue, provided that the Company has secured shareholder approval for this additional 10% at its most recent annual general meeting. The Company secured shareholder approval for this additional 10% capacity at its 2020 Annual General Meeting.

Listing Rule 7.4 permits a company to obtain ratification from its shareholders in relation to a prior share issue (that was made that without being in breach of Listing Rule 7.1 or Listing Rule 7.1A), and thereby refresh its ability in the future to issue further shares (equivalent in number to the share issue being ratified by this resolution) without obtaining prior shareholder approval. An approval under Listing Rule 7.4 of an issue made under Listing Rule 7.1A will also be excluded from variable E in rule 7.1A.2.

The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares was within the 15% and 10% limitations imposed by ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A respectively, however the Company is now seeking shareholder ratification and approval for the issue of these Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

1.3 ASX Listing Rule 7.5

ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requires that the meeting documents concerning a proposed resolution to ratify an issue of securities in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.4 must include the following information:

  • (a) The names of the allottee:

The Shares were allotted to wholesale or sophisticated investors introduced to the Company by MST Financial Pty Ltd, and the following existing shareholders by direct subscription with the Company:

  • Trudell Medical Limited

  • K One W One Limited

  • Cleary Wealth Management Limited.

None of the allottees are a related party of the Company.

  • (b) The number of securities the entity issued:

A total of 169,899,002 Shares in the capital of the Company, of which -

101,939,401 were issued under its Listing Rule 7.1 capacity; and

2

67,959,601 were issued under its Listing Rule 7.1A capacity.

  • (c) The date the securities were issued:

  • 24 March 2021.

  • (d) The issue price of the securities:

  • $0.015 per Share, resulting in the receipt by the Company of total subscription funds of $2,548,485.

  • (e) The intended use of the funds raised:

For general working capital.

  • (f) If the securities were issued under an agreement, a summary of the material terms of the agreement

Not applicable.

1.4 Consequences if Resolution 1 is not approved (re ASX Listing Rule 14.1A)

Where Resolution 1 is not passed (that is not approved by the requisite majority of shareholders), the issue of the shares which are the subject of Resolution 1 will still be valid - however until 18 March 2022 those shares will reduce the Company's capacity which would otherwise be available if shareholders had passed Resolution 1.

2. Resolution 2 – Approval to issue 1,030,100,998 Shares

2.1

Background

In addition to the allotment of Shares the subject of Resolution 1 above, the Company has also entered into binding subscription agreements, subject to shareholder approval, for the proposed issue of up to 1,030,100,998 additional new Shares in the Company at $0.015 per Share (" Conditional Allotment ").

The Shares the subject of the Conditional Allotment under Resolution 2 exceed the Company's remaining 25% capacity (under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A) after the allocation of the new Shares which are the subject of Resolution 1 above.

Accordingly the Company is now seeking Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1, for the issue of the new Shares the subject of Resolution 2 to the sophisticated and professional investors who have agreed to subscribe for the Conditional Allotment.

Shareholders should also note that the capital raising the subject of Resolution 2 is also conditional on the conversion of the Viburnum Secured Convertible Note (which is the subject of Resolution 3 as outlined below).

2.2

Regulatory requirements for subscription

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 sets out the regulatory requirements that must be satisfied in relation to the issue of securities under Resolution 2. ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits the Company issuing shares in excess of 15% of the existing share capital in a 12 consecutive month period without prior shareholder approval.

The Company seeks Shareholder approval to issue up to 1,030,100,998 additional new Shares in the Company credited as fully paid at the issue price of $0.015 per Share.

ASX Listing Rule 7.3 requires that a notice of meeting pursuant to which Shareholders are requested to consider approving an issue of shares pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 must include certain specified information in relation to the securities to be issued, as follows.

  • (i) The names of the persons to whom the Company will issue the securities (or the basis on which the persons were identified or selected):

Wholesale and sophisticated investors (as defined in sections 708(8) and 708(11) of the Corporations Act introduced by MST Financial Pty Ltd, and the following shareholders and new investors by direct subscription with the Company:

  • Phillip Asset Management Limited as trustee of the BioScience Managers Translation Fund 1

  • Trudell Medical Limited

  • K One W One Limited

  • Cleary Wealth Management Limited

  • Planet Innovation Pty Ltd.

  • (ii) Number and class of securities to be issued:

  • (iii) If the securities are not fully paid ordinary securities, a summary of the material terms of the securities:

The Shares to be issued if Resolution 2 is passed will be fully paid ordinary shares in the Company ranking equally with all existing ordinary shares.

  • (iv) Date which the securities are to be issued:

Within 3 months after the date of Shareholder approval.

  • (v) The issue price or other consideration the Company will receive for the issue of the securities:

Please see the summary referred to in section 2.1 above.

  • (viii) If the securities are being issued under or to fund a reverse takeover, information about the reverse takeover:

The Shares subject of Resolution 2 are not being issued under or to fund a reverse takeover.

2.3 Consequences if Resolution 2 is not approved (re ASX Listing Rule 14.1A)

Where Resolution 2 is not passed (that is not approved by the requisite majority of shareholders), the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the new shares which are the subject of Resolution 2 (and which constitute the "Conditional Allotment" as referred to above). Shareholders should also note that Resolution 3 is conditional on the passing of Resolution 2. Therefore if Resolution 2 is not passed, Resolution 3 will also not have been passed.

2.4 Recommendation

The Company’s Board believes that an issue of shares to the wholesale and sophisticated investors noted in section 2.2 above on the terms described in this Explanatory Memorandum is of significant benefit to the Company to provide working capital for the Company's immediate requirements.

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution 2.

3. Resolution 3 – Approve the changes to the Viburnum Secured Convertible Note terms and conditions

3.1

Background

As announced to the ASX market on 26 October 2020 the Company entered into a secured convertible note agreement with Viburnum Funds ( Viburnum ) under which Viburnum advanced to the Company $3 million ( Viburnum Secured Convertible Notes ).

On 18 March 2021, subject to the Company shareholders' approval, the Company and Viburnum have agreed to amend the Viburnum Secured Convertible Notes to provide -

  • to automatically convert $3.58 million of Secured Convertible Notes (being principal of $3 million plus interest) at the same issue price (being $0.015 per Share) and the same time as under the capital raise which is the subject to Resolutions 1 and 2 above, by the issue of 238,989,991 fully paid Shares; and

  • in consideration of the variation of the Secured Convertible Notes to provide for the automatic conversion mechanism referred to above; at closing of the capital raising to issue to Viburnum (in addition to the 238,989,991 Shares issued on conversion of the Viburnum Secured Convertible Notes) -

  • (a) 25,000,000 options with an exercise price of $0.02 and an expiry date being the second anniversary of the grant date;

  • (b) 25,000,000 options with an exercise price of $0.03 and an expiry date being the second anniversary of the grant date;

  • (c) 25,000,000 options with an exercise price of $0.04 and an expiry date being the second anniversary of the grant date; and

  • (d) that number of options equal to the $3 million plus accrued interest up to the date of the automatic conversion referred to above divided by $0.03 (subject to a maximum of 106,239,418 options) with an exercise price of $0.03 and an expiry date of 25 October 2022,

and otherwise on terms and conditions consistent with the ASX listing rules.

While the issue of the Viburnum Secured Convertible Note was originally ratified by Adherium shareholders at the general meeting on 30 November 2020, the amendment now provides for a change in the conversion terms (and as a result the number of Adherium shares which could be issued on conversion, together with the new options also to be granted, has increased) and for that reason, the amendment is subject to prior Adherium shareholder approval at this meeting.

Shareholders should also note that the capital raising which is the subject of Resolution 2 is conditional on Adherium shareholders also approving Resolution 3 (to provide for the conversion of the Viburnum Secured Convertible Notes) - primarily because the subscribers under Resolution 2 wanted the comfort that the Viburnum Secured Convertible Notes would be converted at the same time and at the same price as the capital raising the subject of Resolution 2.

3.2 Regulatory requirements for subscription

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 sets out the regulatory requirements that must be satisfied in relation to the issue of securities under Resolution 3. ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits the Company issuing shares in excess of 15% of the existing share capital in a 12 consecutive month period without prior shareholder approval.

ASX Listing Rule 7.3 requires that a notice of meeting pursuant to which Shareholders are requested to consider approving an issue of shares pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 must include certain specified information in relation to the securities to be issued, as follows.

Samples/000001/000007

  • (i) The names of the persons to whom the Company will issue the securities (or the basis on which the persons were identified or selected):

Viburnum Funds Pty Ltd

  • (ii) Number and class of securities to be issued:

It is proposed that subject to Adherium shareholder approval that on closing the capital raising the subject of Resolution 2. Adherium in converting the $3.58 million of Viburnum Secured Convertible Notes would issue to Viburnum (or its nominee) -

  • 238,989,991 ordinary Shares (credited as fully paid) in Adherium;

  • 25,000,000 options with an exercise price of $0.02 and an expiry date being the second anniversary of the grant date;

  • 25,000,000 options with an exercise price of $0.03 and an expiry date being the second anniversary of the grant date;

  • 25,000,000 options with an exercise price of $0.04 and an expiry date being the second anniversary of the grant date; and

  • that number of options equal to the $3 million plus accrued interest up to the date of the automatic conversion divided by $0.03 (subject to a maximum of 106,239,418 options) with an exercise price of $0.03 and an expiry date of 25 October 2022,

and otherwise on terms and conditions consistent with the ASX listing rules.

  • (iii) If the securities are not fully paid ordinary securities, a summary of the material terms of the securities:

The Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the Company and the options are on the terms outlined in paragraph (ii) above. The Options will not be quoted.

  • (iv) Date which the securities are to be issued:

Within 3 months after the date of Shareholder approval.

  • (v) The issue price or other consideration the Company will receive for the issue of the securities:

On issue, the Viburnum Secured Convertible Notes will be discharged (removing Adheriuim's liability to pay interest and repay the principal of $3 million). The Options are granted for no additional consideration but if exercised Adherium would receive the exercise price under the relevant Option.

  • (vi) The purpose of the issue, including the intended use of the funds raised by the issue:

The original $3 million paid by Viburnum to Adherium in consideration of the issue of the Viburnum Secured Convertible Notes was used for working capital to assist in the Company's planned device and sensor development and commercialisation. On conversion of the Viburnum Secured Convertible Notes, no additional cash funds will be received by Adherium but the Company will have extinguished the debt due to Viburnum under the Viburnum Secured Convertible Notes.

(vii) The summary of the material terms of the Subscription Agreement:

Please see the summary referred to in section 3.1 above.

  • (viii) If the securities are being issued under or to fund a reverse takeover, information about the reverse takeover:

6

The Shares and Options the subject of Resolution 3 are not being issued under or to fund a reverse takeover.

3.3 Consequences if Resolution 3 is not approved (re ASX Listing Rule 14.1A)

Where Resolution 3 is not passed (that is not approved by the requisite majority of shareholders), the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed variation of the Viburnum Secured Convertible Notes and the Company will have a repayment obligation under the Viburnum Secured Convertible Notes Viburnum Secured Convertible Notes of 25 October 2022. Shareholders should also note that Resolution 2 is conditional on the passing of Resolution 3. Therefore if Resolution 3 is not passed, Resolution 2 will also not have been passed.

3.4 Recommendation

The Company’s Board believes that conversion of the Viburnum Secured Convertible Notes and the issue of the new Adherium Shares and Adherium Options on the terms described above in this Explanatory Memorandum is of significant benefit to the Company. As noted the capital raising the subject of Resolution 2 is also conditional on shareholders approving Resolution 3.

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution 3.

4. Resolutions 4 to 9 – Approval of proposed Share issues to Directors in lieu of cash payment of Director's Fees.

4.1 Background

As part of a general costs saving initiative and to align with shareholder interests the Board members agreed to have their Directors Fees from 1 October 2020 paid in Shares instead of cash, where the number of Shares to be issued is calculated by reference to the monthly VWAP of Shares as traded on the ASX ( Monthly VWAP ) corresponding to the calendar month for which the fees have accrued. The Monthly VWAP for a particular month is the issue price of the Shares to be issued to the Directors.

This agreement by the Directors and the Company was stated to be subject to Shareholder approval, hence resolutions 4 to 9 being put to Shareholders. No Shares (in lieu of Director's fees) have been issued yet.

Upon Shareholder approval, the aggregate notional Share allocations for the months of October 2020 through to March 2021 will be issued.

The Monthly VWAP for each calendar month from October 2020 through to March 2021 are as follows:

Table 4.1

----- Start of picture text -----

Calendar Month Issue Price (Monthly VWAP)
October 2020 $0.02461
November 2020 $0.02741

January 2021 $0.02491
February 2021 $0.02055
March 2021 $0.01765
----- End of picture text -----*

  • ASX Listing Rules require the maximum number of Shares to be issued to be specified. Accordingly, shareholder approval is sought on the basis of using the VWAP to 29 March 2021 for determining the applicable number of Shares issued for March 2021.

Samples/000001/000008

Based on the above Monthly VWAP figures, below is a table showing, for the months October 2020 through to March 2021 (inclusive) the Directors, which upon Shareholder Approval, have agreed for their director's fees to be taken as Shares instead of in cash payments ( Directors Fees Shares ) and the total number of Shares that have accrued for that period for each Director:

9 Bryan Mogridge $4,166.67 644,877
----- End of picture text -----

For Bryan Mogridge, accrued Director fees are to his retirement as a director on 29 January 2021.

4.2 Regulatory Requirements

The Company has not sought shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act for a 'related party' transaction as the Board believes that the proposed issues to Directors, being at a monthly VWAP price, is on reasonable commercial terms.

Reason for issue

The deferral of director fees, and for the deferral to be satisfied through the issue of Shares, was implemented as part of a general costs saving and to align with shareholder interests.

For the month of March 2021, the number of Directors Fees Shares to be issued has been determined based on the monthly volume weighted average price of Shares as traded on the ASX for the period 1 March 2021 to 29 March 2021.
