3. MANAGING DIRECTOR’S LETTER

Dear Shareholder

You may recall that the Company held an Extraordinary General Meeting on 10 December 2009 to obtain shareholder approval to allot up to 30 million new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company. Since that time, the Board has reviewed its capital raising alternatives. The Company is pleased to confirm the issue is fully underwritten by Bell Potter Securities Ltd.

As a result, the Company has instead elected to undertake the capital raising via an issue of New Options at an issue price of 1.5 cents, exercisable at 4 cents up to 31 December 2011.

Consequently, on behalf of the Board of Directors of bioMD Limited ( bioMD or the Company ) I am pleased to offer all Shareholders the opportunity to apply for New Options in a two for three non-renounceable rights issue to raise approximately $1.3 million.

Each New Option will carry an additional right whereby if a New Option is exercised by 30 June 2010, one additional option for each New Option exercised (“Piggy Back Option”) will be issued to the optionholder for nil consideration. Each Piggy Back Option may be exercised to acquire one new fully paid ordinary share in the capital of the Company up to 31 December 2012 for 10 cents.

All Shareholders with addresses in Australia or New Zealand registered as at 5.00pm (WST) on 10 March 2010 will be entitled to participate.

This Offer Document contains detailed information about bioMD’s operations, financial position and future plans. Potential risks associated with this investment are also contained in this document and we therefore encourage you to read it carefully before making your investment decision.

The future outlook for biotechnology and life science sectors is encouraging. The Company is poised to launch its ADAPT[®] Tissue Engineered products, CardioCel and Gynecel, onto the market and we are excited about the commercialisation stage of these products. We recommend all Shareholders take up their Entitlement.

Yours faithfully

5. THE OFFER

5.1 Details of the Offer

bioMD Limited (“bioMD” or the “Company”) is making a non-renounceable pro rata offer (“Offer”) of options, each to acquire one fully paid ordinary share in the capital of the Company. Each New Option may be exercised up to 31 December 2011 for $0.04 (“New Options”) and is issued at an issue price of $0.015 per New Option to Shareholders with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand (“Eligible Shareholders”) on the basis of 2 New Options for every existing 3 Shares held on the Record Date.

Each New Option will carry an additional right whereby if a New Option is exercised by 30 June 2010, one additional option for each New Option exercised (“Piggy Back Option”) will be issued to the optionholder for nil consideration. Each Piggy Back Option may be exercised to acquire one new fully paid ordinary share in the capital of the Company up to 31 December 2012 for $0.10. The Record Date for the purpose of the Offer is 5.00pm (Perth time) on 10 March 2010 and the Closing Date for Eligible Shareholders to lodge their Entitlement and Acceptance Forms and make payment is 5.00pm (Perth time) on 30 March 2010. The number of New Options to which you are entitled is shown on the accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Eligible Shareholders may also subscribe for a greater number of New Options than is shown on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form accompanying this Offer Document by participating in the Shortfall Facility as detailed in Section 5.6.

At the Record Date, the Company has on issue 128,823,113 Shares, 6,264,476 listed options and 8,650,000 unlisted options (which carry no entitlement to participate in the Offer). The Company expects that 85,882,075 New Options will be issued under the Offer which will raise $1,288,231. This number may increase if any of the existing unlisted options are exercised prior to the Record Date. Any New Options which are not applied for by Eligible Shareholders by the closing date will become Shortfall Options.

The New Options will form a new class of equity security. The Company will apply to ASX within seven days of the date of this Offer Document to have the New Options listed for official quotation.

The table below shows the lowest and highest trading prices of the Company’s Shares on ASX during the past 12 months and the latest sale prices of the Shares on ASX prior to the date of the Offer Document:

Share Price Date
High price 8 cents 16 July 2009
Low price 2 cents 8 April 2009
Latest price 4.1 cents 22 February 2010

5.2 Purpose of the Offer

The amount the Company expects to raise from the Offer is $1,288,231.13.

The purpose of the Offer is to raise funds primarily to:

  • Complete current human clinical trials of the ADAPT biomaterial patch devices;

  • Provide funding for regulatory approval submissions to TGA (Australia), FDA (USA) and CE mark (Europe) for the ADAPT biomaterial patch devices;

  • Continue to fund ADAPT related R&D activities; and

  • Continue to strengthen the Company’s worldwide intellectual property position by progressing the examination process for the expanded ADAPT family of patents, including in the territories of the United States, European Union, Canada and Asia.

5.3 Application for Listing New Options on ASX

The Company will apply to ASX within seven days of the date of this Offer Document for official quotation by ASX of the New Options offered under this Offer Document.

If quotation is denied by ASX, or if for any reason the Offer does not proceed, all application monies received will be refunded in full without interest and no New Options will be issued.

The ASX takes no responsibility for the contents of this Offer Document. The fact that the ASX may grant official quotation of the New Options is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company, the Offer or the New Options under this Offer Document.

5.4 Shareholders Outside Australia and New Zealand

Neither this Offer Document nor the Entitlement and Acceptance Form constitutes an offer or invitation in any place in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or invitation.

The Company will not make an Offer to Shareholders with a registered address outside Australia or New Zealand (“Excluded Shareholders”). The Company considers it would be unreasonable to extend the Offer to Excluded Shareholders having regard to the small number of such Shareholders, the small number and value of securities would be offered in such jurisdictions and the costs of complying with legal and regulatory requirements in those jurisdictions.

The Directors reserve the right to treat as invalid any Entitlement and Acceptance Form that appears to the Directors or the Company’s agents to have been submitted in violation of any applicable securities laws.

5.5

No Rights Trading

The rights to New Options under the Offer are non-renounceable. You may not transfer your rights to subscribe for New Options under the Offer to any other party.

5.6

Placement of Shortfall Options

As the Offer is non-renounceable, if you decide not to take up all of your Entitlement, it will lapse on the Closing Date to the extent that it is not taken up.

Eligible Shareholders may subscribe for a greater number of New Options than is shown on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form accompanying this Offer Document. Subscriptions in excess of Entitlements will be allotted out of the shortfall, if any, of the total number of New Options subscribed for compared to the total number of New Options offered under this Offer Document (“Shortfall Facility”).

If the number of New Options subscribed for in excess of Entitlements exceeds the number of Options available under the Shortfall Facility, the New Options subscribed for in excess of Entitlements will be issued on a pro-rata basis among Shareholders subscribing under the Shortfall Facility to the extent that they subscribe under the Shortfall Facility and any surplus application monies will be returned to the applicants.

Any New Options not taken up under the Shortfall Facility will be dealt with under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.

5.7

Underwriting Agreement

The Company has entered into an Underwriting Agreement dated 25 February 2010 with Bell Potter Securities Limited (“Bell Potter”) whereby Bell Potter has agreed to underwrite all the New Options to be issued under the Offer. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has given warranties and covenants to Bell Potter which are customary in an agreement of this nature.

Page 8

==> picture [595 x 64] intentionally omitted <==

Bell Potter is an unrelated party of the Company. The terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, which are set out in section 9.1, are on arms length commercial terms.

5.8 Continuous Reporting and Disclosure Obligations

The Company is a disclosing entity for the purpose of the Corporations Act and is, therefore, subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules.

In particular, the Company is subject to ASX’s continuous disclosure obligation under ASX Listing Rule 3.1. This requires the Company to notify ASX immediately of any information concerning the Company, of which it becomes aware, which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the Company’s securities. The Company is also required to prepare and lodge with ASIC and ASX both yearly and half yearly statements accompanied by an audit or peer report. Copies of documents lodged with ASIC may be obtained from ASIC or inspect at an ASIC office.

5.9

8. RISK FACTORS

This section identifies what the Directors regard as the major risks associated with an investment in the Company. This list of risk factors should not be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by an investment in the Company. These risk factors and others not specifically referred to below may, in the future, affect the financial prospects, condition or performance of the Company and the value of the Shares issued on exercise of the New Options.

The nature of the Company’s business and the fact that all of its projects are research projects increases the risks associated with an investment in the Company. Accordingly, an investment in the Company should be considered speculative and investors may lose their investment. The Directors make no representation that further research and development or commercialisation will be successful or that market growth and penetration will be realised at commercially sustainable levels. Intending subscribers should read the whole of this Offer Document and the ASX announcements of the Company in order to fully appreciate such matters and the manner in which the Company intends to operate before any decision is made to subscribe for New Options.

While the Directors believe that prudent management will minimise the risks to shareholders, investors need to consider the risks involved in an investment in the Company before making a decision whether or not to apply for New Options offered under this Offer Document.

8.1

Principal Risk Factors

The principal risk factors facing the Company and/or its industry include the following:

8.1.1 General market and business risks

Shareholders should be aware that the market price of the Company’s securities may be influenced by a number of factors. General movements in local and international stock markets, exchange rates, prevailing economic conditions, investor sentiment and interest rates could all affect the market price of the Company’s securities. These risks apply generally to any investment on the stock market.

The Company is exposed to a number of other business risks which include higher than anticipated operating costs, an increase in competition and loss or damage to the Company’s intellectual property and other assets and competition risk in existing and new markets, all of which may have a material adverse effect on the business and financial position of the Company.

8.1.2 Company specific risks

In addition to the general risks associated with investing in the stock market, there are risks specific to investing in any particular entity. If in doubt about the general or specific risks associated with the Company’s securities, you should seek advice from your professional advisers. An analysis of some of the specific business risks facing bioMD in the conduct of its activities is shown below.

Commercial Risk

bioMD’s ability to achieve profitability is dependent on a number of factors, including its ability to complete successful clinical trials, and obtain regulatory approval for an ADAPT treated medical device. The Company will also seek to commercialise it’s ADAPT technology through licensing its technology and via joint ventures for new product/medical device development. There is always a chance that technologies such as ADAPT can be surpassed by newer technologies, however, the Company’s continuing R&D into the use of stem cells with our ADAPT scaffolds should provide the basis for second and third generation product

==> picture [595 x 40] intentionally omitted <==

Page 13

==> picture [595 x 64] intentionally omitted <==

development. Indications are that the commercially attractive markets already identified for the potential use of the ADAPT technology will remain and grow substantially over the next ten to fifteen years.

The Company has made the appropriate patent applications. There is a risk that these patents will not be granted, which may lead to expensive and lengthy patent disputes for which there can be no guaranteed outcome.

Clinical Trial Risk

The development of biomedical devices and technologies is inherently risky and subject to factors beyond the Company’s control. The industry is heavily regulated, subject to intense competition and reliant on the timely availability of clinical data to reinforce product/device registration. There is no assurance that products developed using the ADAPT technology will prove to be safe and efficacious in clinical trials or that the regulatory approval to manufacture and market products will be received. Clinical trials can also potentially expose bioMD to product liability claims in the event that its products in development have unexpected effects on clinical subjects.

Liquidity of Shares

The Company has a low market capitalisation which may result in the Shares issued on exercise of the New Options being relatively illiquid.

Staff

The Company’s future success depends on its continuing ability to retain and attract highly qualified technical, research and development, and managerial personnel. Competition for such personnel can be intense and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to retain its key managerial, research and development, and technical employees or that it will be able to attract and retain additional highly qualified personnel in the future. The inability to attract and retain the necessary personnel could have a material and adverse effect upon the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Competition

There are competing development programs in the areas being researched by the Company. There can be no assurance that other parties will not develop, or achieve commercialisation or, products or intellectual property that compete with or supersede the Company’s potential products or intellectual property.

There can be no assurance that the Company’s competitors will not succeed in developing technologies and products that are more effective than any which are being developed by the Company.

Despite the existence of a general statutory framework in Australia and international conventions which are intended to protect against certain anti-competitive practices, there can be no assurance that the applicable laws will be enforced sufficiently to protect the Company from anti-competitive practices by its competitors or that major competitors will not use their strategic positions to gain a competitive advantage in some future period, whether by means of price reductions or by other means.

Financial Performance

The amount, timing and payment of any dividend will depend on a range of factors, including future capital and research and development requirements and the financial position generally of the Company at the time. There will also be factors that affect the ability of the Company to pay dividends and the timing of those dividends that will be outside the control of the Company and its Directors. The Directors are, therefore, unable to give any assurance regarding the payment of dividends in the future.

==> picture [595 x 40] intentionally omitted <==

Page 14

==> picture [595 x 64] intentionally omitted <==

Intellectual Property

The Company’s success will depend, in part, on its ability to obtain adequate and valid patent protection, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties or having third parties circumvent the Company’s rights.

While the Company believes it has taken appropriate steps to protect its proprietary technology, the law may not adequately protect it in all places the Company does business or enable the Company’s rights to be enforced with sufficient adequacy.

The enforceability of a patent is dependent on a number of factors which may vary between jurisdictions, including the validity of the patent and the scope of protection it provides. The validity of a patent depends upon factors such as the novelty of the invention, the requirement in many jurisdictions that the invention not be obvious in light of the prior art (including any prior use or documentary disclosure of the invention), the utility of the invention and the extent to which the patent specification clearly discloses the best method of working or carrying out the invention. The legal interpretation of these requirements often varies between jurisdictions. The scope of rights provided by a patent can also differ between jurisdictions. There can be no assurance even if the Company succeeded or succeeds in obtaining the grant of patents, that others will not seek to imitate the Company’s products, and in doing so, attempt to design their products in such a way as to circumvent the Company patent rights. Additionally, the ability of the legal process to provide efficient and effective procedures for dealing with actual or suspected infringements can vary considerably between jurisdictions.

Regarding the Company’s patent applications, no guarantee can be given that such protection will be obtained by the Company. If such patents are not granted, it may be possible for a third party to imitate and use the Company’s intellectual property without its authorisation or to develop and use similar technology independently. The Company will pursue vigorously both its existing and all future patent applications for Australian and foreign patent applications. No guarantee can be given nor does the grant of a patent guarantee that the patent concerned is valid or that the patented technology does not infringe the rights of others.

The Company may wish to expand into foreign countries in the future and the laws of many foreign countries treat the protection of proprietary rights differently from the laws in Australia. Those laws may not protect the Company’s proprietary rights to the same extent as do laws in Australia.

8.2 General Risks

The price and value of the New Options and Shares issued on exercise of the New Options will fluctuate. Many factors affect the price and value of shares, including local and international stock markets, movements in interest rates, economic and political conditions and investor and consumer sentiment. In recent times there has been a high level of volatility on world stock markets and no predictions can be made as to when that period of volatility will end.

Changes to legal requirements, including taxation laws, may result in the imposition of additional taxes, imposts and other charges by government from time to time. The Company’s profitability can be affected by changes in laws and policies and the interpretation and application thereof.

A broad range of other macro economic and political risk factors exist which are beyond the control of the Company and will affect the Company’s operations, including exchange rates, interest rates and government policies.

Therefore, the New Options to be issued pursuant to this Offer Document carry no guarantee with respect to the market value of those New Options. No assurance as to future profitability of the Company or dividends for New Shares issue on exercise of New Options can be given as they are dependent on future earnings, the cost of future research and the working capital requirements of the Company.

Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for the New Options.

9. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

9.1 Underwriting Agreement

The Company has entered into an Underwriting Agreement dated 25 February 2010 with Bell Potter Securities Limited to underwrite all the New Options to be issued under the Offer. The Underwriter is entitled to appoint sub-underwriters at any time in its absolute discretion.

Mr Robert Towner, a Director in bioMD Limited, has entered into a sub-underwriting agreement with Bell Potter.

9.1.1 Representations, Warranties and Indemnities

The Underwriting Agreement contains various warranties, representations and undertakings that are customary for agreements of this type, and imposes various obligations on the Company, including ensuring that the Offer Document complies with the disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act.

The Company has indemnified the Underwriter against all claims, losses, damages, costs and liabilities which they suffer or incur arising out of or in connection with the Offer Document or the issue of the Offer Document to the extent that such claims, losses, damages, costs and liabilities are not caused by the Underwriter.

9.1.2 Fees and Costs

The Company must pay to the Underwriter an underwriting fee of 5% and management fee of 1% (plus GST) of the total funds to be raised by the Offer; as well as 2 million options exercisable at 4 cents.

The Company will pay the costs and expenses of the Underwriter in relation to the offer, including all legal costs that the Underwriter reasonably incurs in respect of the Offer (up to a maximum of $3,000).

9.1.3 Implications for Control of the Company

The Company considers that neither the underwriting nor sub-underwriting arrangements will result in a change of control of the Company. The reasons for this are:

  • the New Options do not carry any voting rights. Voting rights only arise when the New Options re exercised to acquire fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company; and

  • Bell Potter has appointed 10 sub-underwriters and if each Underwriter and subunderwriter accept the Offer in full but no Shareholder accepts the Offer and all of the New Options are exercised, no Underwriter or sub-underwriter will have voting power in the Company of more than 15m%.

9.1.4 Termination

The Underwriter may terminate the Underwriting Agreement by notice in writing to the Company, without cost or liability to the Underwriter, immediately if prior to completion of the Offer:

  • a) Change to Option terms and constituent documents : the terms of the Options or any other securities of the Company or the constitution of the Company are modified or repealed or the Company proposes any such modification or repeal;

  • b) Documents misleading : any

  • i) information in the Offer Document and all other notices and documents issued or published by or on behalf of the Company in respect of the Options which is untrue, incorrect or misleading;

  • r) Conduct defective: any of the making of the Offer, the issue of the Offer Document and all other notices and documents issued or published by or on behalf of the Company in respect of the Options or the distribution of those documents constitutes misleading or deception conduct;
