About NTCELL
NTCELL is an alginate coated capsule containing clusters of neonatal porcine choroid plexus cells that are sourced from a unique herd of designated pathogen-free pigs bred from stock originally discovered in the remote sub-Antarctic Auckland Islands. Choroid plexus cells are naturally occurring
‘support’ cells for the brain and secrete cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which contains a range of factors that support nerve cell functions and protective enzymes that are crucial for nerve growth and healthy functioning. In NTCELL, the porcine choroid plexus cells are coated with alginate to protect them from attack by the immune system. Therefore, no immunosuppressive regimen needs to be administered to recipients.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the Shareholders of Living Cell Technologies Limited to provide information about the items of business to be considered at the General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Thursday, 28 April 2022 at 12.00pm (AEST).
All resolutions to be voted on are ordinary resolutions. An ordinary resolution requires a simple majority of votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution in order for it to be carried.
How will the Chairman vote as proxy if the Shareholder has not directed the Chairman to vote?
The Chairman intends to vote in FAVOUR of resolutions 1 and 2. If a Shareholder appoints the Chairman of the General Meeting as proxy and does not direct the Chairman how to vote on a resolution then, if that Shareholder is entitled to vote on that resolution, the Chairman will vote in FAVOUR of all resolutions.
Background to Resolutions 1 and 2
On 19 October 2021, LCT announced that it had completed a placement ( Placement ) to sophisticated investors of 142.4 million ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ( Shares ) and 269.4 million mandatorily converting notes ( Notes ) that following receipt of Shareholder approval, subsequently converted into 269.4 million new Shares. Each Share had attaching, one third of an option ( Option ) with an exercise price of $0.015, expiring on 19 April 2024.
The issues were at $0.0085 for each new Share and attaching one third of an Option.
The company subsequently undertook a 2:3 renounceable rights issue ( Rights Issue ) of new Shares and Options to eligible Shareholders on the record date, at an issue price of $0.008 for each new Share and one third of an Option.
The Company had intended that the Rights Issue be conducted on the same terms as the Placement – that is at $0.0085 for each new Share and one third of an Option. However, ASX Listing Rules required that the Rights Issue be conducted at a whole fraction of a cent, and as a result the pricing for the Rights Issue was changed to $0.008 for each new Share and one third of an Option.
As the rights issue was conducted on more advantageous terms than the Placement, the Company agreed to compensate the participants in the Placement by offering one additional Option for each two shares to each person who purchased Shares in the Placement and who continued to hold those Shares on the rights issue record date. On the same basis, the Company agreed to offer each convertible noteholder one additional Option for each two Shares issued on conversion of the Notes. In each case, the issue of the additional Options was subject to the Company having capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
The Company subsequently issued 147,480,853 Options to participants in the Placement, being the maximum number that could be issued under Listing Rule 7.1. At the same time, the Company announced that it would issue the balance of the Options (since recalculated as being 23,678,879 Options) when it had the capacity to do so under Listing Rule 7.1. The Company stated that it would, if necessary, call a general meeting to approve the issue of the additional Options so that this could occur as soon as practicable.
At the same time, the Company is seeking approval to refresh its capacity following the issue of the 147,480,853 Options that have already been issued so that the Company will have as much flexibility as possible to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under Listing rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue date.
Requirements for Shareholder Approval
Resolution 1 - Under Listing Rule 7.1 of the ASX Listing Rules, subject to certain exceptions a company may issue up to 15% of its capital on issue at the commencement of the 12 month period immediately preceding the date of the issue or agreement to issue without Shareholder approval. Further, under Listing Rule 7.1A an eligible company may issue an additional 10% where it has been authorised to do so by Shareholders at an Annual General Meeting. LCT was so authorised at its 2021 Annual General meeting.
As explained above, the Company has no remaining capacity to issue securities under Listing Rule 7.1, but may refresh its capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 by seeking Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.4 to the issue of the 147,480,853 Options that has already occurred as was permitted by Listing Rule 7.1.
Living Cell Technologies Limited ACN 104 028 042
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to be approved under Listing Rule 7.1, and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under those rules.
If Resolution 1 is approved, the Company’s capacity to issue a further 15% of its capital in the ensuing 12 month period will be refreshed, in addition to the additional 10% capacity for which shareholder approval will be requested at the AGM.
If Resolution 1 is not approved, the Company will not have the capacity to issue a further 15% of its capital without shareholder approval as outlined in the preceding paragraph.
Resolution 2 - An overview of Listing Rule 7.1 is provided above.
Resolution 2 is to seek Shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 to the issue of an additional 23,678,879 Options to participants in the Placement. If Shareholders do not approve Resolution 2, the Company will be required to issue such additional Options as and when it has the capacity to do so under Listing Rule 7.1.
