Page 6

1.12 Application money held in trust

Application Monies will be held in trust in a subscription account until allotment. The subscription account will be established and kept by the Company on behalf of the Applicants until allotment of the New Shares to the Applicants. In the event that an Applicant is not issued with New Shares in full satisfaction of the Application Monies provided, the relevant Application Monies will be refunded without interest.

1.13 Allotment

Allotment of New Shares will take place as soon as practicable after the Closing Date. The Company, irrespective of when the allotment of New Shares takes place, will retain any interest earned on the application monies.

It is the responsibility of Applicants to confirm the number of New Shares allotted to them prior to trading in the securities. Applicants who sell New Shares before they receive notification of the number of securities allocated to them do so at their own risk.

If an Entitlement and Acceptance Form is not completed correctly, or if the accompanying payment of the Application Monies is for the wrong amount, it may still be treated as a valid Application. The Directors' decision whether to treat the Application as valid and how to construe, amend or complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is final.

  • has a registered address in Australia, New Zealand, British Virgin Islands, China, Singapore, Austria, Germany or is otherwise eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer of Shares under the Offer.

Please refer to section 1.15 for the treatment of foreign Shareholders.

A Shareholder who is not an Eligible Shareholder is an Ineligible Shareholder.

  • the small number and value of the Shares which would be offered to Ineligible Shareholders if they were Eligible Shareholders; and

  • the cost of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements in the respective overseas jurisdictions.

European Economic Area – Austria and Germany

The information in this document has been prepared on the basis that all offers of entitlements and New Shares will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Directive 2003/71/EC ( Prospectus Directive ), as amended and implemented in Member States of the European Economic Area (each, a Relevant Member State ), from the requirement to produce a prospectus for offers of securities. An offer to the public of entitlements and New Securities has not been made, and may not be made, in a Relevant Member State except pursuant to one of the following exemptions under the Prospectus Directive as implemented in that Relevant Member State:

  • to any legal entity that is authorized or regulated to operate in the financial markets or whose main business is to invest in financial instruments;

  • to any legal entity that satisfies two of the following three criteria: (i) balance sheet total of at least €20,000,000; (ii) annual net turnover of at least €40,000,000 and (iii) own funds of at least €2,000,000 (as shown on its last annual unconsolidated or consolidated financial statements);

Page 10

  • to any person or entity who is recognised as an eligible counterparty in accordance with Article 24 of the MiFID.

1.16 Beneficial holders, nominees, trustees and custodians

The foreign selling restrictions under the Offer summarised above apply to the underlying beneficial holder. Nominees, trustees and custodians must not apply on behalf of any beneficial holder that would not itself be an Eligible Shareholder. Shareholders who are nominees, trustees or custodians are advised to seek independent advice as to how they should proceed. Shareholders who hold Shares on behalf of persons whose registered address is not in Australia, New Zealand, British Virgin Islands, China, Singapore, Austria or Germany are responsible for ensuring that applying for New Shares does not breach securities laws in the relevant overseas jurisdictions.

Nominees and custodians that hold Shares should note that the Offer is available only to Eligible Shareholders. The Company is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder is acting as a nominee or the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of securities. If any nominee or custodian is acting on behalf of a foreign person, that holder, in dealing with its beneficiary, will need to assess whether indirect participation by the beneficiary in the Offer is compatible with applicable foreign laws.

1.17 CHESS and issuer sponsored holdings

The Company participates in the security transfer system known as CHESS. ASX Settlement Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX, operates CHESS in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. Under CHESS, Applicants will not receive a share certificate but will be issued a statement of holding of shares.

If you are broker sponsored, and you take up all or part of your Entitlement, ASX Settlement Pty Ltd will send you a CHESS holding statement. The CHESS holding statement will set out the number of New Shares issued to you under this Offer Document and provide details of your holder identification number and the participant identification number of the sponsor. If you are registered on the issuer sponsored sub-register, and you take up all or part of your Entitlement, your statement will be despatched by the Share Registry and will contain the number of New Shares issued to you under this Offer Document and a security holder reference number.

A CHESS statement or issuer-sponsored statement will routinely be sent to security holders at the end of any calendar month during which the balance of

Page 11

their security holding changes. Security holders may request a statement at any other time. However, a fee may be charged for additional statements.

If investors have enquiries about CHESS, they should contact their broker or ASX.

1.18 Taxation Implications

Eligible Shareholders should be aware that there may be taxation liabilities arising from the subscription for New Shares and the sale of those New Shares. For this reason, it is very important that Eligible Shareholders consult their own taxation or other advisers in relation to the taxation laws and regulations applicable to their personal circumstances. The Company and its officers accept no liability or responsibility in respect of any tax consequences connected with an investment in the New Shares or the sale of those New Shares.

1.19 Rights attaching to shares

The New Shares will be issued fully paid and will rank equally with the Existing Shares of the Company.

1.20 ASX Listing Rules

As this Offer constitutes a pro-rata offer to existing Shareholders, shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required nor is the amount raised under the Offer counted toward the 15% threshold in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 1).

Separate shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.10 (issues of securities to related parties) is not required as a pro-rata issue to a related party is an exception to shareholder approval (ASX Listing Rule 10.12 exception 1). Likewise a pro-rata issue of securities to a related party under an underwriting agreement is also an exception to shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11).

1.21 Privacy Statement

If you complete an Entitlement and Acceptance Form, you will be providing personal information to the Company (directly or through the Share Registry). The Company collects, holds and uses such information to assess your Application, to service your needs as a Shareholder and to facilitate distribution payments and corporate communications to you.

The information may also be used from time to time and disclosed to persons inspecting the register, bidders for your securities in the context of takeovers,

Page 12

regulatory bodies (including the Australian Taxation Office), authorised securities brokers, print service providers, mail houses and the Share Registry.

You can access, correct and update the personal information which is held about you. If you wish to do so please contact the Share Registry at the relevant contact numbers set out in this Offer Document.

Collection, maintenance and disclosure of certain personal information is governed by legislation including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (as amended), the Corporations Act and certain rules such as the ASX Settlement Operating Rules. You should note that if the information required on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is not provided, the Company may not be able to accept or process your Application.

  • (b) subscribe for all your Entitlement, and if you wish, apply for additional shares ( Top-Up Shares ) under the Top-Up Facility (see section 2.3); or

  • (c) allow all or part of your Entitlement to lapse (see section 2.4).

2.2 If you wish to take up all or some of your Entitlement

Page 13

2.3 To apply for Top-Up Shares

Eligible Shareholders may, in addition to their Entitlement, apply for Top-Up Shares regardless of the size of their present holding by completing the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form in accordance with the instructions set out on that form. There is no guarantee you will receive the amount of Top-Up Shares applied for, if any. The pool of Top-Up Shares will be limited to the number of New Shares that relate to the Entitlement that have not been accepted under the Rights Issue.

The Company will allocate Top-Up Shares as follows:

  • (a) firstly, to Eligible Shareholders with less than a marketable parcel (to the extent required for them to each have a marketable parcel); and

  • (b) then, at the Directors’ discretion, subject to no person acquiring a voting power of 20% or more in the Company following the allocation of Top-Up Shares.

The Directors reserve the right at their absolute discretion to reject any application for Top-Up Shares or to issue a lesser number of Top-Up Shares than that applied for, and it is an express term that applicants for Top-Up Shares will be bound to accept a lesser number of Top-Up Shares allocated to them than applied for. If a lesser number is allocated, excess application money will be refunded without interest as soon as practicable after the Closing Date.

3 INVESTMENT AND BUSINESS RISK FACTORS

An investment in the New Shares should be regarded as highly speculative and is a decision of the same type of risks that are associated with any share market investment. In addition, there are a number of business risks that are specific to an investment in the Company. Before deciding to invest in the Company, Applicants should read this Offer Document in its entirety and consider the risk factors that could affect the operating and financial performance of the Company.

Eligible Shareholders should be aware that the market price of the New Shares may be influenced by many unpredictable factors and that subscribing for New Shares involves various risks. The occurrence of any of the following risks could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and/or future prospects and in such circumstances the market price of the New Shares could decline and

Page 16

investors could lose part or all of their investment. While some of the risks can be minimised by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems, some are outside the control of the Company. The value of the Company’s securities on ASX may rise and fall depending on factors beyond the control of the Company.

The New Shares offered pursuant to this Offer Document are considered speculative due to the present stage of development of the Company and the impact of various economic factors outside the control of the Company upon the market and the risks inherent in the industry. This Offer Document carries no assurance with respect to the return of capital or price at which the New Shares will trade.

This Section identifies certain, but not all, risks associated with an investment in the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or the Directors, or that the Company or the Directors currently deem immaterial may also adversely affect the Company’s business or operations. Prior to making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the following risk factors (which are listed in no particular order of importance) as well as the other information in this Offer Document.

3.1 Company and industry risks

The risks outlined below are specific to the Company’s operations and to the industry in which the Company operates.

  • (a) Fluctuating revenue and future profitability

The Company’s financial performance and profitability is primarily dependent upon generating revenue from the manufacture and sale of diagnostic ImmunoAssays attributable to DIAsource, as well as Anteo’s Mix&Go product portfolio. There are a variety of factors which influence sales, including the level of activity in the diagnostics and medical tools sectors and competition from other manufacturers and sellers of diagnostic ImmunoAssays and other molecular binding tools. Both of these factors are outside the Company’s control.

  • (b) Warranty risk

There is a risk that the Company may be subject to warranty claims which may expose it to additional costs, although the Company manages this risk through appropriate quality controls during the manufacturing process.

  • (c) Working capital requirements

Page 17

The program for development and commercialisation of new Anteo products is progressing into new domains, particularly medical devices and batteries. Working capital for this work along with the integration of the Company’s and DIAsource ImmunoAssays S.A. assets will be used to accelerate activities.

(d)

Funding Risk - DIAsource ImmunoAssays S.A.

The Company’s ability to complete the acquisition of DIAsource ImmunoAssays S.A. is dependent on the Company securing appropriate funding. This funding is intended to be achieved through the raising of funds under this Offer, and the issue of convertible notes by the Company.

Conditions - Underwriting of Offer

The Company has entered into a conditional Underwriting Agreement with the Underwriter. The Underwriter’s obligation to subscribe for any shortfall shares under this Offer is subject to the Underwriter entering into sub-underwriting agreements (up to a maximum of $12,018,427) prior to the date of closing of the Offer, and that the Company and a Toronto based Investment Fund Manager (“ Noteholder ”) enter into formal binding documentation regarding the issue of convertible notes by the Company. The Offer will only be underwritten to the extent that there are sub-underwriting agreements in place. If sub-underwriting agreements are entered into for an amount less than $12,018,427 then the Offer will only be underwritten to that lesser amount, which may result in insufficient funds to complete the acquisition of DIAsource ImmunoAssays S.A.

If the conditions are not satisfied or waived by the Underwriter, then the Offer will not be underwritten. Therefore, if Eligible Shareholders do not take up their Entitlement in full, then despite the issue of convertible notes, there is a risk that the Company may not be in a position to complete the acquisition of DIAsource ImmunoAssays S.A.

See section 4 for further details in respect of the underwriting and subunderwriting arrangements.

Convertible Note

On 30 November 2015 the Company announced on ASX, that it had entered into term sheet with the Noteholder under which the Company will raise €10,000,000.00 via the issue of convertible notes to the Noteholder.

Page 18

The Noteholder’s obligation to subscribe for convertible notes is subject to a number of conditions including due diligence investigations being to its satisfaction. Satisfaction of the conditions is expected to occur prior to the date of closing of the Offer.

If the conditions are not satisfied or waived by the Noteholder then in the absence of any other alternate funding, and despite the raising of funds under this Offer, the Company may not be in a position to complete the acquisition of DIAsource ImmunoAssays S.A.

In the event that the Company is unable to complete the acquisition of DIAsource ImmunoAssays S.A for any reason, then any funds that are raised under this Offer will be used for other potential acquisitions and working capital purposes.

  • (e) General Funding Risk

If the Company requires access to further funding for expansion or at any stage in the future, it may be adversely affected in a material way if, for any reason, access to that funding is not available either at all or on acceptable terms and conditions. There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available for expansion or other purposes. If additional funds should be raised by issuing equity securities, this might result in dilution to the then shareholders. The pricing of future share issues will also depend upon the results of the Company’s activities, market factors, investor demand for shares and the need for capital by either debt or equity capital raisings.

(f) Acquiring new product lines

The Company may consider acquisitions and transactions, including distributions agreements, which may complement its existing business. There is a risk that, if any transactions are entered into, the objectives of the transaction may not be met, and in doing so causing the Company loss.

(g) Management of Growth

The Company may be subject to growth-related risks including capacity constraints and pressure on its internal systems and controls. The ability of the Company to manage growth effectively will require it to continue to implement and improve its operational and financial systems and to expand, train and manage its employee base. The inability of the Company to deal with this growth could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results

Page 19

of operations and prospects.

(h) Reliance on key personnel

The Company is managed by a small executive team headed by Dr Geoff Cumming. To successfully operate and grow, the Company will need to retain its existing management team and attract new personnel consistent with its growth needs. There is a risk that this may not occur.

  • (i) Share price and liquidity

While there is reasonable traded volume and a ready market price of the Company’s shares, there is no assurance this will continue in the future. As a consequence investors may be unable to readily exit or realise their investment. There is a risk that the Shares may not trade at a level equal to the Issue price. Furthermore, the Company will have a relatively small market capitalisation and potentially the market for its Shares may be illiquid.

  • (j) Exchange rate

Exchange rates affect the price of competing imports and the price of imported components. Following the acquisition of DIAsource ImmunoAssays S.A., which sells products into 75 countries, there is a risk that changes is the exchange rate of the Australian dollar and Euro will affect the price of manufacturing components and the competition from other suppliers. Changes in exchange rates may also affect the Company’s revenue and earnings over time.

3.2 General investment risks

The risks outlined below are some of the general risks that may affect an investment in the Company.

  • (a) Securities investments and share market conditions

There are risks associated with any securities investment. The prices at which the securities trade may fluctuate in response to a number of factors.

Furthermore, the stock market may experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that may be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of a company. These factors may materially adversely affect the market price of the securities of the Company regardless of the Company's operational performance. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the

Page 20

Company, or any return of an investment in the Company.

  • (b) Economic risk

Changes in both Australia and world economic conditions may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. Factors such as inflation, currency fluctuations, interest rates, industrial disruption and economic growth may impact on future operations and earnings.
