ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

7 December 2021

LISTED OPTIONS EXERCISE FULLY UNDERWRITTEN

Brisbane, Australia and Minneapolis, USA, Anteris Technologies Ltd (ASX: AVR) ( Anteris or the Company) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an underwriting agreement ( Underwriting Agreement ) with Evolution Capital Pty Ltd ( Evolution or Underwriter ) to fully underwrite the exercise of listed options (ASX: AVRO) which are exercisable at $8.00 on or before 5.00pm (AEST) on 18 December 2021 ( Options ).

As at the date of the Underwriting Agreement, there are 1,830,843 Options on issue which remain unexercised, representing an underwriting amount of $14,646,744. The Underwriting Agreement provides that, in the event of a shortfall in the exercise of the Options, the Underwriter will underwrite, in conjunction with sub-underwriters including L1 Capital and Regal Funds Management to take-up, all share entitlements attached to that shortfall ( Underwritten Amount ). Any shortfall shares to be issued on exercise of outstanding Options by the Underwriter pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement are expected to be issued in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 10) and not require shareholder approval and will not form part of the Company’s ASX Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity.

Funds raised will be primarily used by the Company to drive further development and clinical activities for DurAVR[TM] aortic heart valve and ComASUR[TM] transfemoral delivery system. A key component of this strategy is continued development of the active in-human clinical validation program which aims to unlock regulatory access, commercial and clinical opportunities across key global markets.

Evolution will receive a management fee of 3% of the Underwritten Amount, an underwriting fee of 3% of the Underwritten Amount (inclusive of GST) and a total of 75,000 unlisted options with an exercise price of $10.00 and an expiry date of 24 December 2024 which the Company intends to issue to Evolution (or its nominee) on 24 December 2021 pursuant to its placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, subject to completion of the underwriting of the Underwritten Amount. The Underwriting Agreement includes a number of termination provisions, a summary of which are set out in Annexure A.

The Underwriting Agreement does not restrict Option holders from either exercising their Options or selling their Options.

ENDS
