LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Dear Shareholder
On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to present the Prospectus for Admedus Limited's ( Admedus or Company ) Entitlement Offer to Shareholders.
Entitlement Offer
The Entitlement Offer is a renounceable pro-rata entitlement issue to Shareholders of one New Share for every nine Shares held by Eligible Shareholders at an issue price of $0.33 per New Share to raise approximately $8.3 million (before costs). This Entitlement Offer is made to all Shareholders with a registered address in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore or the United Kingdom on the Record Date, being 15 August 2016, and represents a 25% discount to the five day VWAP and a 27% discount to the market price as at close of trading on 26 July 2016.
Shareholders may apply for New Shares in excess of their full entitlements under the Entitlement Offer. As the Entitlement Offer is renounceable, Eligible Shareholders will be able to trade their Entitlements on ASX and Shareholders may dispose of their Entitlements to other parties (refer to Section 2).
The Company has appointed Patersons Securities Limited as Lead Manager and Underwriter to the Entitlement Offer.
Placement
On 29 July 2016 the Company announced that it had secured firm commitments for a placement of Shares to sophisticated and institutional investors at $0.33 per Share to raise approximately $10 million (after costs). 30,303,031 Shares will be issued under the Placement on or about 5 August 2016. Further details of the Placement are in the Company's announcement lodged with the ASX on 29 July 2016 and in Section 2.2.
The Path Forward
Over the last three months, the Company has undertaken an extensive global restructuring initiative to address issues such as costs, commercial performance and strategic priorities. The key objectives of the restructuring initiative were to improve commercial effectiveness and significantly accelerate the Company’s path to profitability.
The Company is currently focused on implementing improvements to manufacturing gross margins and productivity, sales team performance, product development focused on near market products, shareholder transparency and Company structure. The Placement and Entitlement Offer will allow the Company to continue its current strong sales growth and roll-out additional products into the cardiovascular markets, while implementing a corporate strategy of tighter expenditure control.
In addition to the implementation of the Company’s recent restructuring initiative, the completion of the Placement and Entitlement Offer places the Company in a very strong financial position. It will enable the Board and management to execute the Company’s business plan for the benefit of all shareholders and achieve sustainable profitability for the 2018 financial year and beyond.
Use of Funds Raised
Admedus will use the funds raised from the Placement and the Entitlement Offer to execute its recently announced corporate restructuring with the majority allocated for working capital. In addition, funds will be used for the purposes of:
-
scale up of manufacturing to meet market demand;
-
new product and IP development;
-
new market expansion across emerging markets and new product ranges;
7
-
further investment and development in immunotherapy programmes in conjunction with Professor Ian Frazer; and
-
clinical and post market studies.
Further information about the Company and its operations is contained in publically available documents lodged by the Company with the ASIC and ASX. This Prospectus should be read in conjunction with this material.
There are a number of risks associated with investing in the share market generally and the Company specifically. The New Shares must be regarded as highly speculative. Investors should read this Prospectus in its entirety before deciding to invest and in particular, consider the risks detailed in Section 5.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank you for considering the Entitlement Offer. We have a clear vision for growing revenues, continued product development and working in important research areas to build a global healthcare company for shareholders. We greatly appreciate your continued support.
Yours faithfully

Shortfall Shares may be allocated to any Eligible Shareholder or to other investors who apply for Shortfall Shares under the Shortfall Offer, at the absolute discretion of the Underwriter, in consultation with the Directors.
Shortfall Shares will not be offered or issued to any Applicant if, in the view of the Directors, to do so would increase that Applicant's voting power in the Company above 19.9% or otherwise result in a breach of the Listing Rules, the Corporations Act or any other applicable law.
An Application for Shortfall Shares accompanied by payment of Application Monies does not guarantee the allotment of any Shortfall Shares. The Shortfall Shares will be allocated within three months after the Closing Date.
In relation to the Shortfall Offer, the Company reserves the right to issue to an Applicant a lesser number of Shortfall Shares than the number applied for, reject an Application or not proceed with the issuing of the Shortfall Shares or part thereof. If the number of Shortfall Shares issued is less than the number applied for, surplus Application Monies will be refunded in full. Interest will not be paid on Application Monies refunded.
2.8
Underwriting
The Entitlement Offer is being fully underwritten by Patersons.
2.9
Risks of the Offers
As with any securities investment, there are risks associated with investing in the Company. However, having regard to the matters detailed in Section 2.3 and the risks applicable to the Company and its business detailed in Section 5, Eligible Shareholders should be aware that an investment in the New Shares should be considered highly speculative and there exists a risk that you may, in the future, lose some or all of the value of your investment.
Before deciding to invest in the Company, investors should read this Prospectus in its entirety, in particular the specific risks associated with an investment in the Company (detailed in Section 5), and should consider all factors in light of their personal circumstances and seek appropriate professional advice.
2.10
Application Forms and BPAY® payments
Acceptance of a completed Application Form, or alternatively, a BPAY® payment, by the Company creates a legally binding contract between the Applicant and the Company for the number of New Shares accepted by the Company. The Application Form does not need to be signed to be a binding acceptance of New Shares.
If the Application Form is not completed correctly it may still be treated as valid. The Directors' decision whether to treat a completed Application Form as valid and how to construe, amend or complete the Application Form is final.
2.11
Issue and Dispatch
The expected dates for issue of New Shares and dispatch of holding statements are expected to occur on the dates specified in the Indicative Timetable.
It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine their allocation prior to trading in New Shares. Applicants who sell New Shares before they receive their holding statements will do so at their own risk.
16
Shortfall Shares may be issued within three months after the Closing Date.
2.12
Application Monies held on trust
All Application Monies will be held on trust in a bank account maintained solely for the purpose of depositing Application Monies received pursuant to this Prospectus until the New Shares are issued. All Application Monies will be returned (without interest) if the New Shares are not issued.
2.13
ASX quotation
Application will be made to ASX no later than seven days after the date of this Prospectus for Official Quotation of the New Shares. If ASX does not grant Official Quotation of the New Shares within three months after the date of this Prospectus (or such period as the ASX allows), no New Shares will be issued or allotted under the Offers and the Company will repay, as soon as practicable, without interest, all Application Monies received pursuant to this Prospectus.
ASX takes no responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus. The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the New Shares.
2.14
Effect on control
Whilst a Nominee has been appointed to sell the Entitlements of Foreign Shareholders, this appointment is not under section 615 of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, the exemption to the 20% takeovers threshold under item 10 of section 611 of the Corporations Act is not available to Eligible Shareholders taking up their Entitlement under the Entitlement Offer.
No New Shares will be issued to any Applicant if, in the view of the Directors, to do so would increase that Applicant's voting power in the Company above 19.9% or otherwise result in a breach of the Listing Rules, the Corporations Act or any other applicable law.
The Offers are not expected to give rise to control implications for the Company albeit that the effect of the Offers on the voting power in the Company, for the purposes of the Corporations Act, is dependent upon the number of New Shares taken up, the number of Shortfall Shares taken up and the impact of the Placement.
2.15
Withdrawal
The Directors may at any time decide to withdraw this Prospectus and the Offers, in which case, the Company will return all Application Monies (without interest) in accordance with the Corporations Act.
2.16 CHESS
The Company participates in the Clearing House Electronic Subregister System, known as CHESS. ASX Settlement, a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX, operates CHESS in accordance with the Listing Rules and Securities Clearing House Business Rules.
Under CHESS, Applicants will not receive a certificate but will receive a statement of their holding of New Shares.
If you are broker sponsored, ASX Settlement will send you a CHESS statement.
17
The CHESS statement will set out the number of New Shares issued under this Prospectus, provide details of your holder identification number, the participant identification number of the sponsor and the terms and conditions applicable to the New Shares.
If you are registered on the Issuer Sponsored subregister, your statement will be dispatched by the Share Registry and will contain the number of New Shares issued to you under this Prospectus and your security holder reference number.
A CHESS statement or Issuer Sponsored statement will routinely be sent to Shareholders at the end of any calendar month during which the balance of their shareholding changes. Shareholders may request a statement at any other time, however, a charge may be made for additional statements.
2.17
Foreign Shareholders
The Entitlement Offer is not being extended to any Shareholders whose registered address is outside Australia, New Zealand, Singapore or the United Kingdom. The Company is of the view that it is unreasonable to make the Entitlement Offer to Shareholders outside Australia, New Zealand, Singapore or the United Kingdom, having regard to:
-
(a) the number of those Shareholders;
-
(b) the number and value of Shares to be offered to those persons; and
-
(c) the cost of complying with overseas legal requirements.
This Prospectus does not constitute an offer in any place in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer other than for Shareholders in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore or the United Kingdom. The Company is not required to make offers under this Prospectus to Shareholders other than in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore or the United Kingdom. Where this Prospectus has been dispatched to Shareholders domiciled outside Australia, New Zealand, Singapore or the United Kingdom and where the country's securities code or legislation prohibits or restricts in any way the making of the Offers, this Prospectus is provided for information purposes only.
Shareholders resident in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore or the United Kingdom holding Shares on behalf of persons who are resident overseas are responsible for ensuring that taking up Entitlements under the Entitlement Offer does not breach regulations in the relevant overseas jurisdiction. Return of a duly completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form will be taken by the Company to constitute a representation that there has been no breach of those regulations.
2.18
Foreign holder nominee
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.7, the Company has appointed Patersons as a nominee to sell the Entitlements which would have been offered to Foreign Shareholders ( Nominee ) had they been entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer and to account to the Foreign Shareholders for their proportion of the sale proceeds net of expenses. Patersons will sell the Entitlements on ASX and if the Entitlements are unable to be sold on ASX (due to there being no market for the Entitlements), then the Entitlements will be sold off-market for nominal consideration.
18
Any interest earned on the proceeds of the sale of these Entitlements will firstly be applied against expenses of such sale, including brokerage, and any balance will accrue to the relevant Foreign Shareholder.
Notwithstanding that the Nominee must sell the Entitlements, Foreign Shareholders, may nevertheless receive no net proceeds if the costs of the sale are greater than the sale proceeds.
2.19
Taxation implications
The Directors do not consider it appropriate to give Applicants advice regarding the taxation consequences of subscribing for New Shares.
The Company, its advisers and its officers do not accept any responsibility or liability for any such taxation consequences to Applicants. Applicants should consult their own professional tax adviser to obtain advice in relation to the taxation laws, regulations and implications applicable to their personal circumstances.
2.20

5. Risks
The New Shares are considered highly speculative and carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends or returns of capital. An investment in the Company is not risk free and the Directors strongly recommend that potential investors consult their professional advisers and consider the risks described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus, before deciding whether to apply for New Shares.
The following list of risks ought not to be taken as exhaustive of all the risks faced by the Company or by Shareholders. The proposed future activities of the Company are subject to a number of risks and other factors which may impact its future performance. Some of these risks can be managed and mitigated by planning and the use of safeguards and appropriate controls. However, many of the risks are outside the control of the Company or the Directors and cannot be mitigated.
5.1 Risks specific to the Group
(a) Risk of commercial failure or underperformance of marketed products
With CordioCel[®] on the market in Europe and the United States, the Group is pursuing additional approvals in other jurisdictions. Since launching the product, the Group has made good progress with CardioCel[®] now being used in key cardiac centres in Europe, with a similar plan for the United States and the rest of the world. With the sales and marketing of CardioCel[®] within the Group, the Group reduces the risk of third party distributions issues. To further decrease the commercial risk, the Group's sales team are working diligently to increase the exposure of CardioCel[®] to cardiothoracic surgeons globally.
The Group is also undertaking several R&D programmes to continued expansion of its intellectual property portfolio as well as developing additional products for the regenerative medicine portfolio to further reduce the possibility of commercial risk.
The Group currently maintains a range of patents across the various technologies and continues to monitor these patents as well as exploring new patents based on the R&D currently being undertaken by the Group.
(b) Clinical trial risk
The development of innovative products in the biomedical and healthcare industries is inherently risky and subject to many factors beyond the Group's control. The market clearance of CardioCel[®] in Europe and the United States reduces the risk for this product, but the Group will continue to monitor the risks as it continues clinical studies and product development within its regenerative medicine vision.
(c) Patient adverse event and product liability claims
There is a risk that a patient may have an adverse event as a result of one of the Group's products leading to a product liability claim against the Group. The Group attempts to reduce the risk of such claims through disclaimers and liability limitation clauses and by maintaining adequate product liability insurance, however these may not be adequate and a product liability claim for damages could be substantial. A product liability claim where there was insufficient insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on the
29
Group's financial condition. An adverse patient event or product liability claim could harm the market perception of the effectiveness of the Group's products.
(d) Competition
As with most markets, 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 Group's potential products or intellectual property. Therefore, it is likely that there are competing development programs in the areas being researched by the Group.
(e) Financial performance
The amount, timing and payment of any dividend will depend on a range of factors, including future capital and R&D requirements and the financial positions generally of the Group at the time. There will also be factors that affect the ability of the Group to pay dividends and the timing of those dividends that will be outside the control of the Group and Directors. The Directors are, therefore, unable to give any assurance regarding the payment of dividends in the future.
(f) Intellectual property
The Group's success will depend, in part, on its ability to obtain adequate and valid patent protection, maintain trade secret protections and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties or having third parties circumvent the Group's rights.
While the Group believes it has taken appropriate steps to protect its proprietary technology, the laws may not adequately protect it in all places the Group does business or enable the Group's rights to be enforced with sufficient adequacy.
The enforceability of a patent is dependent on a number or 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 methods or working or carrying out the invention. The legal interpretation of these requirements often varies between jurisdictions. There can be no assurance even if the Group succeeded or succeeds in obtaining the grant of patents, that other will not seek to imitate the Group's products, and in doing so, attempt to design their products in such a way as to circumvent the Group 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 Group's patent applications, no guarantee can be given that such protections will be obtained by the Group. If such patents are not granted, it may be possible for a third party to imitate and use the Group's intellectual property without its authorisation or to develop and use similar technology independently. The Group 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
30
concerned is valid or that the patented technology does not infringe the rights of others.
The Group 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 Group's proprietary rights to the same extent as do laws in Australia.
(g)
Staff
The Group's future success depends on its continuing ability to retain and attract highly qualified technical, R&D, and managerial personnel. Competition for such personnel can be intense and there can be no assurance that the Group will be able to retain its key managerial, R&D, and technical employees or that it will be able to attract and retain additional highly qualified personnel in the future. The ability to attract and retain the necessary personnel could have a material and adverse effect upon the Group's business, results of operations and financial condition.
(h) Litigation
On 12 November 2014, Dr Geoffrey Lane, Dr Keith Woollard and their respective associated entities Palkingston Pty Ltd and KV Woollard Pty Ltd (the Plaintiffs) instituted proceeding against the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary Admedus (Australia) Pty Ltd and its subsidiary Admedus Regen Pty Ltd alleging that the affairs of Admedus Regen Pty Ltd are being conducted in a matter that is contrary to the interests of the members of Admedus Regen Pty Ltd as a whole and oppressive of the interests of the Plaintiffs. This proceeding is being heard in the Federal Court and is listed for trial in November 2016. If the Federal Court finds in favour of the Plaintiffs, the Company may be liable for a quantum of damages which, at this stage, cannot be reliably determined. This may adversely affect the Group's financial position and reputation.
5.2 General risks
(a) Share market
There are risks associated with any securities investment and the share market. The price of Shares may rise and fall depending on a range of factors beyond the Company's control and which are unrelated to the Company's operational or financial performance. These factors may include movements on international stock markets, interest rates and exchange rates, together with domestic and international economic conditions, inflation rates, investor perceptions, changes in government policy, commodity supply and demand, government taxations and royalties, war global hostilities and acts of terrorism .
(b) Liquid risk
There is no guarantee that there will be an ongoing liquid market for the Shares. Accordingly, there is a risk that, should the market or the Share become illiquid, the Shareholders will be unable to realise their investment in the Company.
31
(c) Global credit and investment markets
Global credit, commodity and investment markets have recently experience high degree of uncertainty and volatility. The factors which have led to this situation have been outside the control of the Company and may continue for some time resulting in continued volatility and uncertainty in world stock markets (including the ASX). This may impact the price at which the Share trade regardless of operating performance, and affect the Company's ability to raise additional equity and/or debts to achieve its objectives, if required.
5.3 Investment speculative
The above list of risks ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by prospective investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the New Shares. The New Shares carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Shares. Prospective investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for New Shares.
32
6. Rights attaching to New Shares
6.1 Rights attaching to New Shares
A summary of the rights attaching to Shares is set out below. The New Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with existing Shares. This summary is qualified by the full terms of Company's Constitution (a full copy of the Constitution is available from Company on request free of charge) and does not purport to be exhaustive or to constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of Shareholders. These rights and liabilities can involve complex questions of law arising from an interaction of Constitution with statutory and common law requirements. For a Shareholder to obtain a definitive assessment of the rights and liabilities which attach to shares in any specific circumstances, the Shareholder should seek legal advice.
(a) Voting
Subject to any rights or restrictions at the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, at a general meeting of the company on a show of hands, every Shareholder present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative (un the case of a company) has one vote and upon a poll, every Shareholder present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative (in the case of a company) has one vote for any Share held by the Shareholder).
A poll may be demanded by the chairperson of the meeting, at least 5 Shareholders entitled to vote in person or by proxy, attorney or representative or by any one or more Shareholders holding not less than 5% of the total voting rights of all Shareholders having the right to vote.
(b) General meetings
Directors may call a meeting of Shareholders whenever they think fit. Members may call a meeting as provided by the Corporation Act. All Shareholders are entitled to a notice of meeting. A quorum for a meeting of Shareholders is 2 eligible voters.
The Company will hold annual general meetings in accordance with section 250N of the Corporations Act.
Shareholders are entitled to be present in person, or by proxy, attorney or representative (in the case of a company) to speak and to vote at general meetings of the Company.
(c)
Dividends
The Directors may declare and authorise the distribution from the profits of the Company, dividends to be distributed to Shareholders according to their rights and interests. The dividend declared shall be payable on all Shares in accordance with section 254W of the Corporations Act.
(d)
Transfer of Shares
Generally, Shares in the Company are freely transferable, subject to formal requirements, and to the registration of the transfer not resulting in a contravention of or failure to observe the provisions of a law of Australia.
33
(e) Variation of rights
Shares may be converted or cancelled with member approval and the Company's share capital may be reduced in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act.
Class rights attaching to a particular class of share may be varied or cancelled with the consent in writing of holders of 75% of the shares in that class or by a special resolution of the holders of shares in that class.
(f) Directors
The business of the Company is to be managed by or under the direction of the Directors. Directors are not required under the Constitution to hold any Shares.
Unless changed by the Company in general meeting, the minimum number of Director is three and the maximum is 9. The existing Directors may appoint a new Director to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the Board. Any such Director must retire at the next following annual general meeting of the Company (at which meeting he or she may be eligible for elections as a Director).
The Constitution contains provisions relating to the rotation and election of directors. No Director other than the Managing Director may hold office later than the third annual general meeting after his or her appointment or election, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.
(g) Decisions of Directors
Questions arising at a meeting of Directors are decided by a majority of votes. The Chairman has a casting vote except where only two Directors are able to vote.
(h) Issue of further Shares
The Directors may, subject to any restrictions imposed by the Constitution and the Corporations Act, allot, issue, grant options over, or otherwise dispose of, further shares with or without preferential rights on such terms and conditions as they see fit.
(i) Officers' indemnity
Under the Constitution, the Company is obliged, to the extent permitted by law, to indemnify an officer (including Directors) of the Company against liabilities incurred by the officer in that capacity, against costs and expenses incurred by the officer in successfully defending civil or criminal proceedings, and against any liability which arises out of conduct not involving a lack of good faith.
To the extent permitted by law, the Company may also pay the premium or any insurance policy for any person who is or has been, an officer against a liability incurred by that person in this or capacity as an officer of the Company, provided that the liability does not arise out of conduct involving a wilful breach of duty.
34
(j) Alteration to the Constitution
The Company's constitution can only be amended by a special resolution passed by at least 75% of Shareholders present and voting at a general meeting. At least 28 days' notice of the intention to propose the special resolution must be given.
6.2
Dividend policy
The Company does not intend to declare or pay any dividends in the immediately foreseeable future.
Any future determination as to the payment of dividends by the Company will be at the sole discretion of the Directors and will depend on the availability of distributable earnings and operating results and financial condition of the Company, future capital requirements and general business and other factors considered relevant by the Directors. No assurance in relation to the payment of dividends or franking credits attaching to dividends can be given by the Company.
35
7. Additional information
7.1 Continuous disclosure obligations
The Company is a 'disclosing entity' (as defined in section 111AC of the Corporations Act) for the purposes of section 713 of the Corporations Act, and, as such, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations. Specifically, like all listed companies, the Company is required to continuously disclose any information it has to the market which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or the value of the Company's securities. The New Shares are in the same class as Shares that have been quoted on the official list of the ASX during the three months prior to the issue of this Prospectus.
This Prospectus is a 'transaction specific prospectus' to which the special content rules under section 713 of the Corporations Act apply. That provision allows the issue of a more concise prospectus in relation to an offer of securities, or operation to acquire securities, in a class which has been continuously quoted by ASX in the three months prior to the date of the prospectus. In general terms 'transaction specific prospectuses' are only required to contain information in relation to the effect of the issue of New Shares on the Company and the rights attaching to the New Shares. It is not necessary to include general information in relation to all of the assets and liabilities, the financial position, profits and losses or prospects of the issuing company.
This Prospectus is intended to be read in conjunction with the publicly available information in relation to the Company which has been notified to ASX and does not include all of the information that would be included in a prospectus for an initial public offering of securities in an entity that is not already listed on a stock exchange. Investors should therefore have regard to the other publicly available information in relation to the Company before making a decision whether or not to invest.
Having taken such precautions and having made such enquires as are reasonable, the Company believes that it has complied with the general and specific requirements of ASX as applicable from time to time throughout the three months before the issue of this Prospectus which required the Company to notify ASX of information about specified events or matters as they arise for the purpose of ASX making that information available to the stock market conducted by ASX.
Information that is already in the public domain has not been reported in this Prospectus other than that which is considered necessary to make this Prospectus complete.
The Company, as a disclosing entity under the Corporations Act states that:
-
(a) it is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations;
-
(b) copies of documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company (not being documents referred to in section 1274(2)(a) of the Corporations Act) may be obtained from, or inspected at, the offices of the ASIC; and
-
(c) it will provide a copy of each of the following documents, free of charge, to any person on request between the date of issue of this Prospectus and the closing date of the Entitlement Offer:
-
(i) the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2015 being the most recent annual financial report of the Company lodged with the ASIC before the issue of this Prospectus; and
36
-
(ii) the half year financial report of the Company for the six months ended 31 December 2015 lodged with ASIC after the lodgement of the annual financial report mentioned in paragraph (i) and before the issue of this Prospectus; and
-
(iii) any documents used to notify ASX of information relating to the Company in the period from lodgement of the annual financial report referred to in paragraph (i) above until the issue of this Prospectus in accordance with the Listing Rules as referred to in section 674(1) of the Corporations Act.
Copies of all documents lodged with the ASIC in relation to the Company can be inspected at the registered office of the Company during normal office hours.
The Company has lodged the following announcements with ASX since the lodgement of its annual report on 13 October 2015:

7.2 Interests of Directors
Except as disclosed in this Prospectus, no Director (or entity in which they are a partner or director) has, or has had in the two years before the date of this Prospectus, any interests in:
-
(a) the formation or promotion of the Company;
-
(b) property acquired or proposed to be acquired by the Company in connection with its formation or promotion of the Offers; or
39
- (c) the Offers;
and no amounts have been paid or agreed to be paid and no value or other benefit has been given or agreed to be given to:
-
(a) any Director to induce him or her to become, or to qualify as, a Director; or
-
(b) any Director for services which he or she (or entity in which they are a partner or director) has provided in connection with the formation or promotion of the Company or the Offers.
7.3 Control implications and potential dilution
Patersons is not presently a Shareholder and is not a related party of the Company for the purposes of the Corporations Act.
Patersons has entered into the Sub-Underwriting Agreement with MC Management Group (of which Mr Mathew Ratty, a Director, is a director) pursuant to which MC Management Group has agreed to sub-underwrite the Entitlement Offer up to $300,000 (909,091 New Shares). Neither MC Management Group nor Mr Ratty will acquire an interest greater than 20% if Mr Ratty is required to subscribe for his full entitlement and MC Management Group is required to subscribe for its full sub-underwriting commitment.
The number of New Shares that may be held by Patersons following completion of the Entitlement Offer and its corresponding voting power is detailed in the table below. However, it is unlikely that no Shareholders will take up their Entitlements. The underwriting obligation and therefore voting power of Patersons and Mr Ratty will change by a corresponding amount for the amount of Entitlements taken up by Shareholders.
| Event | Shares held by Patersons(1) |
Voting power of Patersons(1) |
Shares held by MC Management Group(1) |
Voting power of MC Management Group(1) |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| 50% subscribed |
11,677,456 | 4.64% | 12,118,633 | 4.81% |
Note:
(1) Assumes that Mr Ratty subscribes for a maximum of $300,000 of Shortfall and that Patersons does not engage any further sub-underwriters.
Eligible Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Entitlement Offer their holdings will be diluted. Examples of how the dilution may impact Eligible Shareholders are detailed in the table below:

The lead manager mandate with Patersons contains other terms and conditions considered standard for an agreement of this type, including warranties, representations and indemnities in favour of Patersons that are standard for services of the kind that Patersons is providing to the Company.
