BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA, 29 May 2026: AnteoTech Limited (ASX: ADO) (“AnteoTech” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an underwriting agreement (Underwriting Agreement) with MST Financial Services Pty Ltd (Underwriter) pursuant to which the Underwriter has agreed to underwrite the exercise of up to a total of 214,285,714 unexercised ‘ADOO’ options (each, an Option and together, the Underwritten Options).
Each Option has an expiry date of 5pm (Brisbane time) on 31 May 2026 (Expiry Date) and an exercise price of $0.035.
Underwriting Agreement
Under the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter is required to subscribe (or procure subscription) for up to such number of new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company as is equivalent to the number of Underwritten Options less any shares issued to Optionholders who exercise their Options before the Expiry Date (Underwritten Shares).
Accordingly, on completion of the exercise of all Options either by Optionholders or the Underwriter, the Company will issue a minimum of 214,285,714 Shares raising approximately $7,500,000 before costs of the offer (based on the Underwritten Shares only and disregarding unprocessed exercise forms already received) and a maximum of 286,628,688 shares raising circa $10,000,000 (based on the exercise of all options).
Sub-underwriting Arrangements
The Underwriter has also entered into sub-underwriting arrangements with various sophisticated and professional investors (none of whom are related parties or associates of related parties of the Company) which gives the Underwriter the ability to nominate or allocate the exercise of the Underwritten Options and therefore the issue of Underwritten Shares to these sub-underwriters.

The significant events which could lead to the Underwriting Agreement being terminated are set out in the Schedule to this announcement.
The fee payable to the Underwriter in connection with the Underwriting Agreement is 6% of the Underwritten Amount.
