The Company obtained shareholder approval to make issues under the placement capacity available under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its 2024 AGM held on 22 November 2024.

The Company seeks approval under Listing Rule 7.4 to refresh its capacity to make further issues without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 and/or Listing Rule 7.1A.

If shareholders do not pass Resolution 1 then the fully paid ordinary shares the subject of Resolution 1 will continue to use the placement capacity available to the Company under the ASX Listing Rules.

The following information is provided in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.5:

  • The securities were issued to unrelated sophisticated, professional and other investors exempt from the disclosure requirements of Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act who were identified by the Company as part of the Company utilising its at-the-market facility.

  • The total number of securities issued was 164,242,200 fully paid ordinary shares.

  • The shares issued have the same terms and rights as, and rank equally with, the Company’s other fully paid ordinary shares on issue.

  • The shares were issued on 3 February 2025 and an Appendix 2A was released to ASX on that date.

  • The shares were issued at A$0.0129 (1.29 Australian cents) per share.

  • A$2,118,724.38 was raised from the issue of the shares the subject of Resolution 1. Funds raised have been, or will be, used to accelerate clinical and business development activities for ATH434 and for working capital.

Corporations Act

Section 208 of the Corporations Act provides that a public company must not, subject to certain exceptions, give a financial benefit to a related party without approval of the members (shareholders) of the company. Section 228 defined a related party for the purposes of Chapter 2E (including section 208) of the Corporations Act to include a director of the Company.

Section 210 of the Corporations Act provides an exception to the requirement to obtain shareholder approval for giving a financial benefit to a related party where the financial benefit is on terms that would be reasonable if the company and the related party were dealing on arm’s length terms.

The Company considers the proposed issue of the securities under Resolutions 5A to 5C are on arm’s length terms. This view was formed on the basis that the securities the subject of Resolutions 5A to 5C respectively, if and when subscribed for by the named related parties (and/or their respective nominee(s)), are proposed to be issued on the same terms as offered to unrelated sophisticated and professional investors under the Placement (refer Resolutions 2, 3 and 4 for further details).

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

==> picture [100 x 26] intentionally omitted <==

Notwithstanding the above, it is acknowledged that, although each Director was excluded from and did not participate in any discussion or decision regarding the issue of securities to them under the Placement, the approval sought under Resolutions 5A to 5C relates to a majority of the Board. Accordingly, Resolutions 5A to 5C are also being put to shareholders for the purposes of section 195(4) of the Corporations Act such that shareholders determine the matter.

As Resolutions 5A to 5C relate to a majority of the Board and accordingly each of the proposed recipients of securities under Resolutions 5A to 5C have a material personal interest in the Resolution relating to an issue of securities to them (and/or their nominee(s)), the Directors do not provide any recommendation in respect of Resolutions 5A to 5C.

Resolution 6 – Approval for issue of Options

Resolution 6 seeks shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 and for all other purposes to issue 10,179,688 Broker Options to MST Financial (and/or its nominee(s)).

The issue of Placement Options under Resolution 6 is subject to shareholder approval.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specific exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any twelve-month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights to conversion to equity, if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the company’s issued share capital at the commencement of the twelve-month period. One circumstance where an action or an issue is not taken into account in calculating the 15% threshold is where the issue has the prior approval of shareholders at a general meeting.

If shareholders approve Resolution 6 the Company will be able to issue the number of Broker Options the subject of Resolution 6. In addition, if Resolution 6 is approved, the issue of shares on exercise of Broker Options (if any) will increase the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and, subject to the relevant shareholder approval being held at the time, ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. If shareholders do not approve Resolution 6, the Company will not be able to issue the Broker Options the subject of Resolution 6 and the Company may need to seek to negotiate an alternate form of payment to MST Financial for its role as lead manager of the Placement.

The following information is provided in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3:

  • The recipient of the Broker Options will be MST Financial Services Pty Ltd (and/or its nominee(s)), who is not a related party of the Company.

  • The maximum number of Broker Options under Resolution 6 is 10,179,688.

  • The terms of Broker Options are set out in Annexure A.

  • The Broker Options the subject of Resolution 6 are to be issued shortly after the Meeting and in any event no more than 3 months after the date of the Meeting.

  • The securities the subject of Resolution 6 are being issued for nil cash as part fees for MST Financial acting as the lead manager of the Placement.

  • The purpose of the issue of the Broker Options is as part fees for MST Financial acting as lead manager of the Placement as described above. Funds raised on exercise of Broker Options (if any) will be applied to meeting the working capital requirements of the Company at the time of exercise.

  • A summary of the material terms of the mandate between the Company and MST Financial pursuant to which MST Financial agreed to act as the lead manager of the Placement is set out below:

  • MST Financial was engaged by the Company to act as lead manager of the Placement.

  • The Company agreed to pay MST Financial a fee of 5.5% of funds raised up to A$30 million and 6% of funds raised over $40 million.

The Directors unanimously recommend shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

Ordinary Resolution – Resolutions #7 and #8 – Refreshing and amending 2004 ASX Plan and 2018 ADS Plan

The Company has adopted two incentive plans: the 2004 ASX Plan (for securities issued to Australian directors, employees and consultants) and the 2018 ADS Plan (for securities issued to non-Australian based, particularly US based, employees, officers, consultants, independent contractors and directors).

The 2004 ASX Plan has been refreshed on several occasions, most recently at the 2022 Annual General Meeting on 11 November 2022. The 2018 ADS Plan was also last refreshed at the 2022 Annual General Meeting on 11 November 2022. “ADSs” are American Depository Shares of the Company reported on the NASDAQ Capital Market. The 2018 ADS Plan relates to ADS and rights to ADSs such as options and warrants (which are substantively equivalent to options to acquire new shares).

Resolutions 7 and 8 seek shareholder approvals to adopt and issue securities under the 2004 ASX Plan and 2018 ADS Plan (respectively) including refreshing the aggregate number of securities that can be issued under the two plans following the approvals to a maximum of 450,000,000 (the “Plan Pool”). The Plan Pool is shared between the two plans. Refreshing the plans approves issues of securities from the Plan Pool under the plans, provided that issues to Directors and their associates (including persons whose relationship with the Company or a Director or an associate of a Director is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained) under the plans (or either of them) require further shareholder approvals to be obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.

The Plan Pool applies from receipt of shareholder approval. Any securities issued under the 2004 ASX Plan and 2018 ADS Plan prior to the Meeting are not counted as having been issued under the Plan Pool and will be treated as having been issued in accordance with the shareholder approval obtained at the 2022 Annual General Meeting on 11 November 2022.

The Board of Directors of the Company believes that refreshing the approvals of the 2004 ASX Plan and 2018 ADS Plan, and increasing the Plan Pool, are necessary in order for it to continue to:

  • a) provide eligible persons with an additional incentive to work to improve the performance of the Company;

  • b) attract and retain eligible persons essential for the continued growth and development of the Company;

  • c) promote and foster loyalty and support amongst eligible persons for the benefit of the Company;

  • d) enhance the relationship between the Company and eligible persons for the long term mutual benefit of all parties; and

  • e) provide an alternative to cash payments.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that shareholder approval is required for an issue of securities if the securities will, when aggregated with the securities issued by the entity during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13 provides an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for securities issued under an employee incentive scheme within 3 years after shareholder approval of the scheme. The Company therefore seeks approval of the plans (which are employee incentive schemes) under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 13 so that issues of securities under the plans do not impede the capacity of the Company to issue up to a further 15% of its capital without shareholder approval. ASX Listing Rule 7.1 would otherwise require shareholder approval each time shares or other securities are issued to avoid using the Company’s capacity to 15% of its issued share capital.

ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 14 also provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 for issues made to Directors and their associates with approval under Listing Rules 10.11 or 10.14, also avoiding the use of the Company’s capacity to 15% of

Page 17 of 21

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

==> picture [100 x 26] intentionally omitted <==

its issued share capital.

If shareholders approve Resolutions 7 and/or 8, then the Company would be able to issue securities under the plan(s) the subject of the Resolution(s) approved by shareholders without using the placement capacity available to the Company under the ASX Listing Rules (provided that no more than the maximum number of securities that may be issued under the plan(s) as approved by shareholders are issued). If shareholders do not approve Resolutions 3 and/or 4 then, in respect of the plan the subject of the Resolution(s) not approved by shareholders, the Company will rely on the shareholder approval(s) obtained at the 2022 Annual General Meeting until the earlier to occur of the limit on the number of securities that may be issued as approved by shareholders is reached or 11 November 2025, being three years after the 2022 Annual General Meeting.

The following information is provided as required under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 13:

  • Summaries of the terms of the 2004 ASX Plan and the 2018 ADS Plan are set out in Annexures B and C. A full copy of each of the plans is available on request.

  • Since the 2004 ASX Plan and the 2018 ADS Plan were last approved at the 2022 Annual General Meeting on 11 November 2022, a total of 8,000,000 securities have been issued.

  • The maximum number of securities that may be issued collectively under the 2004 ASX Plan and the 2018 ADS Plan is 450,000,000.

  • A voting exclusion statement and proxy voting prohibition as set out in the Notice applies to each of Resolutions 7 and 8.

As each of the Directors of the Company are (subject to further shareholder approvals) eligible to participate in either or both of the plans, they have abstained from making a recommendation in respect of Resolutions 7 or 8.

Note: all references to currency in the Notice and this Memorandum (including $) are to Australian dollars.

The term of an option granted under the 2004 ASX Plan will be determined by the Committee; however no option will be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date of its grant. Except as otherwise provided in the 2004 ASX Plan or determined by the Committee and set forth in an offer document, the issuance of shares and exercise of options granted under the 2004 ASX Plan will either (i) be subject to an escrow, under which such shares or options cannot be disposed of or exercised, respectively, within six months from the date of issue or grant (or 12 months if issued or granted to a director); or (ii) will vest over a four year period in four equal instalments, 25% at the end of each year from the date of grant. Shares issued and options granted under the 2004 ASX Plan may be subject to other performance criteria and hurdles, as determined by the Committee.

ANNEXURE C SUMMARY OF 2018 ADS PLAN – REFER RESOLUTION 8

The purpose of the 2018 ADS Plan is to provide incentive for non-Australian based (particularly US based) employees, officers, consultants, independent contractors and directors.

Options granted under the 2018 ADS Plan may be incentive stock options, as provided in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or non-qualified stock options. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (including, without limitation, officers and directors who are also employees of the Company and its subsidiaries) and may not be granted to any owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company and its subsidiaries, or a 10% holder. To the extent that the aggregate fair market value, determined on the date that an option is granted, of ADSs with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, such option shall be treated as a non-qualified stock option.

Under the 2018 ADS Plan, the Company is entitled to grant to employees, officers, consultants, independent contractors and directors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, from time to time, options to purchase American Depositary Shares, or ADSs, of the Company. The number of ADSs with respect to which options may be granted to any eligible participant under the 2018 ADS Plan in any calendar year shall not exceed 2.625 million ADSs, representing 108.5 million ordinary shares of the Company. ADSs that are forfeited under the terms of the 2018 ADS Plan and ADSs that are the subject of options that expire unexercised or which are otherwise surrendered by an optionee without receiving any payment or other benefit with respect thereto may again become available for new option grants under the 2018 ADS Plan.

The 2018 ADS Plan is administered by a Share Plan Committee. The Committee has authority, in its sole discretion, to grant options under the 2018 ADS Plan, to interpret the provisions of the 2018 ADS Plan and to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to the 2018 ADS Plan or any options granted thereunder as it may deem necessary or advisable. All decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the 2018 ADS Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons.

The type of option (incentive stock option or non-qualified stock option), exercise price, option term and vesting schedule of options granted under the 2018 ADS Plan are determined by the Committee, in accordance with the provisions of the ADS Plan, and specified in an option agreement by and between the Company and the optionee, subject to the terms of the 2018 ADS Plan. The exercise price per each ADS will be determined by the Committee at the time any option is granted, however the exercise price of an incentive stock option will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of such ADS on the date of the grant and the price of an incentive stock option granted to a 10% holder will not be less than 110% of the fair market value of such ADS on the date of the grant. Options granted under the 2018 ADS Plan will not be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date of grant, and in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a 10% holder, the term of the option will be five years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the option agreement. The options will vest over a four year period in four equal instalments, 25% at the end of each year from the date of grant, unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an option agreement.

Options granted under the 2018 ADS Plan are not assignable or transferable by the grantee, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised during the lifetime of the grantee only by the grantee or his or her guardian or legal representative.
