NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING SHAREHOLDERS TO VOTE ON NAME CHANGE TO ADMEDUS LTD
-
Allied Healthcare Group proposes name change to Admedus Ltd
-
New name suggested as part of a global branding programme
-
AGM to be held 20[th] November in Perth
Brisbane, Australia, 21[st] October 2013
Allied Healthcare Group (ASX: AHZ) today announced a proposed name change to Admedus Ltd in order to give the Company a clear identity and differentiation as it expands into global markets.
Shareholders will be asked to vote on the proposed name change at next month’s Annual General Meeting (AGM). The date of the AGM was also announced - it will be held in Perth at the Duxton Hotel, 1 St George Terrace, at 12 noon on November 20[th] .
If approved by shareholders, Allied Healthcare Group Ltd would be called Admedus Ltd and its subsidiary businesses would be referred to as Admedus divisions.
The proposed name change will provide the Company with clear distinction in international markets at a time when the Company is actively launching its lead regenerative tissue product CardioCel® into the European market. Allied is aiming to gain approval and launch into the North American market in 2014.
Allied CEO Mr Lee Rodne said “the move would prevent confusion in these important markets, where there are already a number of companies operating that have the same, or similar names, to Allied Healthcare Group”.
“As the Company has made preparations for entering these important markets, we have noted a number of companies with very similar names to Allied and so there is a potential for confusion and unnecessary distraction to our marketing efforts for CardioCel®,”said Mr Rodne.
“Renaming the Company Admedus Ltd will ensure we avoid these potential problems.
“The Company is at an exciting point in its growth and this change will allow us to clearly differentiate our products and our message as we enter new markets.”

About Allied Healthcare Group Limited
Allied Healthcare Group Limited (ASX: AHZ) is a diversified healthcare company focused on investing in and developing next generation technologies with world class partners, acquiring strategic assets to grow its product and service offerings and expanding revenues from its existing profitable medical sales and distribution business. The Company has assets from Research & Development through Clinical Development as well as Sales, Marketing and Distribution.
Allied Healthcare Group is in the process of commercialising its innovative tissue engineering technology for regenerative medicine. Allied also has major interest in developing the next generation of vaccines with a Brisbane-based research group led by Professor Ian Frazer. The vaccine programmes target disease with significant global potential like Herpes and Human Papilloma virus.
Further information on the Company can be found on www.alliedhealthcaregroup.com.au.
About the technology
The technology is based on 6 granted US patents protecting its codon optimisation DNA technology, which enhances protein expression in the cell or tissue targeted and results in an improved humoral response. The second component of the technology, also patent protected, is to use a mixture of DNAs encoding ubiquitinated and non ubiquitinated proteins. This strategy enhances the degradation of the protein and optimises T cell responses, while preserving structural epitopes necessary for B cells responses, resulting in vaccines with prophylactic and therapeutic potential.
About Genital Herpes
This disease often results in recurrent painful sores in the genital area. HSV-2 is the major causative agent of genital herpes. As well as pain and discomfort to infected individuals, the virus can have serious health implications for babies born to infected women. Herpes is also believed to aid in the transmission of HIV. Current herpes treatment involves the use of antiviral drugs which can reduce, but not eliminate, outbreaks and shedding and therefore do not prevent spread of the disease. According to research reported in Biomed Central’s journal BMC Infectious Diseases, the economic burden of genital HSV infection and resulting complications has been estimated to be greater than $1 billion annually in the USA alone.
Allied’s Regenerative Medicine Division
Allied’s regenerative tissue engineering technology started as a research program in in 2001 focusing on tissue engineering and regenerative medicine based around the proprietary ADAPT[®] Tissue Engineering Process. The lead programme CardioCel[®] has successfully completed a number of animal studies and a Phase II human clinical trial. CardioCel[®] is a cardiovascular patch used to repair paediatric heart deformities. These deformities range from routine “Hole in the Heart” operations to major vessel outflow tract repairs. The CardioCel[®] patch may also be used to repair leaking heart valves in paediatric patients. CardioCel[®] has been shown to allow tissue regeneration once implanted. Some researchers postulate that stem cells play an active role in tissue regeneration * , suggesting that CardioCel[®] facilitates endogenous stem cells and other cells to regenerate and repair damaged tissue.
The division is based on the patented ADAPT[®] Tissue Engineering Process as a platform technology to produce implantable tissue patches for use in various soft tissue repair applications and for the production of replacement tissue heart valves. The ADAPT[®] technology is used to process animal derived tissues to produce unique implantable tissue patches that are compatible with the human body. The technology has a number of advantages over current tissue treatment processes on the market, most notably the reduction of calcification post implantation. This technology has the potential for medical professionals to use regenerative products instead of synthetic products currently used in soft tissue repair.

4. Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report
In accordance with subsection 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and non-executive Directors.
In accordance with subsection 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.
AHZ ASX 131021 - Notice of Annual General Meeting.docx
13
The Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Act 2011 which came into effect on 1 July 2011, amended the Corporations Act to provide that Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board except the managing director if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more ( Strike ) at two consecutive annual general meetings.
Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for reelection.
The Company's Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the 2012 annual general meeting. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at the 2014 annual general meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.
The Chairman will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.
Resolution 1 is an ordinary Resolution.
The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.
If the Chairman is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chairman with an express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman's intention, even though Resolution 1 is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.
5. Resolution 2 – Change of Company Name
In accordance with section 157 of the Corporations Act, if a company wants to change its name it must pass a special resolution adopting a new name.
As the Company expands its activities and moves into international jurisdictions it is unable to consistently use the Company’s current name. As a consequence the Company is in the process of re-badging the businesses as Admedus which will provide the Company with a unique and recognisable brand and clearly distinguish the Company and its products in international markets.
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the change of name of the Company to Admedus Limited.
Resolution 2 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
The change of name will take effect from when ASIC alters the details of the Company’s registration.

Subject to Shareholder approval of Resolutions 5 to 7 (inclusive), the number of Directors' Shares to be issued to each of Messrs Catlow, Rowley and Turvey (or their nominees) will be calculated in accordance with the formula in the below table:
AHZ ASX 131021 - Notice of Annual General Meeting.docx
15
| Director (or nominee) | No of Shares | |
|---|---|---|
| Mr Christopher Catlow | No. of Shares =$45,000 Issue Price Issue Price = 5 day VWAP of Shares immediately before the date of the issue. |
|
| Mr Graeme Rowley | No. of Shares =$35,000 Issue Price Issue Price = 5 day VWAP of Shares immediately before the date of the issue. |
|
| Mr Peter Turvey | No. of Shares =$35,000 Issue Price Issue Price = 5 day VWAP of Shares immediately before the date of the issue. |
|
| Total | No. of Shares =$115,000 Issue Price Issue Price = 5 day VWAP of Shares immediately before the date of the issue. |
The issue price of each Director Share will be equal to the 5 day VWAP of Shares immediately before the date of the issue. No funds will be raised from the issue of the Directors' Shares as they are being issued for nil cash consideration but as part of the consideration for the services to be provided by the Directors during the current financial year.
The Company has sought a waiver of Listing Rule 10.13.5 from ASX in order to permit the Company to include a formula for calculating the issue price of the Directors' Shares which is based on a future average market price.
In the event ASX does not grant the waiver of Listing Rule 10.13.5, the Company intends to set the issue price of the Directors' Shares prior to the date of the Meeting.
8.2 Section 208 of Corporations Act
Section 208 of the Corporations Act provides that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

-
(b) give the benefit within fifteen (15) months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The Board has formed the view that Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required for the proposed issue of the Directors' Shares as the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act applies. The Directors' Shares are being issued in lieu of directors' fees payable to Messrs Catlow, Rowley and Turvey and is considered to be reasonable remuneration for the purposes of section 211 of the Corporations Act.

(c)
Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility
Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of Equity Securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:
(A x D) – E
-
A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
-
(A) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2;
-
(B) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;
-
(C) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;
-
(D) less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.
Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.
-
D is 10%
-
E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A
The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 1,044,021,861 Shares and therefore has a capacity to issue:
-
(i) subject to Shareholder approval being sought under Resolutions 9 and 10, 156,603,279 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
(ii) subject to Shareholder approval being sought under Resolutions 9, 10 and 11, 104,402,186 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
AHZ ASX 131021 - Notice of Annual General Meeting.docx
23
The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 12.2(c) above).
(e)
Minimum Issue Price
The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph 12.2(e)(i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

-
or such longer period if allowed by ASX ( 10% Placement Period ).
12.3 Listing Rule 7.1A
The effect of Resolution 15 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Resolution 15 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).
12.4
Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:
-
(a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:

-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's Equity Securities on the issue date or the Equity Securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset,
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the Equity Securities.
The below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows:
-
(i) two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and
-
(ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.

-
(ii) No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities;

-
(vii) The issue price is $0.05, being the issue price from rights issue closing 18 October 2013.

-
(d) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities to raise funds for any of the following purposes:

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
-
(i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

The Exercise Price calculation formula is fixed and not subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of any particular contingencies.
4. Expiry Date
Each Director Option that has not been exercised expires at 5pm (WST) on the date that is 5 years after the date that the Director Option is granted ( Expiry Date ), subject to any prior forfeiture in the event of a takeover as set out below under paragraph 11.
5. Exercise Period
The Directors' Options are exercisable following satisfaction of the vesting conditions in paragraph 5 of this Schedule 2 (as applicable) and prior to the Expiry Date.

8.
Notice of Exercise
The Directors' Options may be exercised by notice in writing to the Company and payment of the Exercise Price for each Employee Option being exercised.

Participation in new issues
