  • Proceeds from the Placement and the SPP are intended to be focused on funding incremental investment in AROA’s US commercial operations and in AROA’s R&D and product pipeline, as well as increasing AROA’s cash on balance sheet.

  • Eligible shareholders may view or download their SPP documents from 11.00am (AEST) today by going to www.investorserve.com.au.

Summary of the Share Purchase Plan

The SPP aims to raise up to A$5 million. The SPP is not underwritten meaning that the SPP may raise less than A$5 million. If applications under the SPP exceed the A$5 million maximum then applications will be scaled back at the absolute discretion of AROA.

The SPP provides Eligible Shareholders with the opportunity to purchase new shares in AROA at an issue price of A$1.165 per share. This is the same price at which shares were issued under the Placement to eligible investors that successfully raised A$47 million. The issue price under the SPP represents a 1.7% discount to the closing price of AROA shares, and a 4.6% discount to the 5 day VWAP of AROA shares, on ASX on and up to Monday, 26 July 2021, being the last day on which the AROA shares traded on ASX before the announcement of the SPP Offer.

Eligible Shareholders will be entitled to subscribe under the SPP for a minimum of A$1,000 and thereafter in A$1,000 increments up to a maximum of A$15,000 worth of new AROA shares, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Booklet. The A$15,000 limit has been set to potentially allow more investors to participate in the SPP based on the maximum amount to be raised under the SPP being A$5 million. Shares issued under the SPP will rank equally with existing AROA fully paid ordinary shares on issue.

Upon receipt or download of the Booklet and personalised SPP application form, Eligible Shareholders who wish to participate in the SPP should follow the instructions in the Booklet and the personalised SPP application form if they wish to apply for shares. Eligible Shareholders are encouraged to apply using BPay®. If applying using BPAY® Eligible Shareholders do not need to return their application form.

SPP Terms and Conditions

Important notice

If you apply to participate in the SPP, you accept the risk that the market price of Shares may change between the opening of the SPP Offer and the date when New Shares are issued to you under the SPP ( Issue Date ). As such, it is possible that, up to or after the date you receive New Shares under the SPP, you may be able to buy Shares on the ASX at a lower price than the Issue Price under the SPP. The Board encourages you to consider seeking professional financial and taxation advice regarding your participation in the SPP Offer.

This Booklet may not be released or distributed in the United States or to any person acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States. This Booklet does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities in the United States or in any other jurisdiction in which such an offer would be unlawful. The New Shares to be offered and sold in the SPP have not been, and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended ( US Securities Act ), or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States. Accordingly, the New Shares may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in the United States unless they have been registered under the US Securities Act (which AROA has no obligation to do or procure), or are offered and sold in a transaction exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the US Securities Act and any applicable US state securities laws.

By participating in the SPP, you will be deemed to have accepted, and will be bound by, these terms and conditions.

Unless the context requires otherwise, capitalised terms used in these terms and conditions will have the meaning given to them elsewhere in this Booklet.

All references to $, A$ or dollars in this Booklet are references to Australian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

  • 3.1 If two or more persons are registered on the Register as jointly holding Shares, they are taken to be a single registered holder of Shares for the purposes of determining whether they are an Eligible Shareholder, and a certification given by any of them is taken to be a certification given by all of them.

  • 3.2 Subject to these terms and conditions, Eligible Shareholders who are Custodians may participate in the SPP on behalf of each Eligible Beneficiary on whose behalf they hold Shares.

  • 4.3 For Eligible Shareholders with an Australian bank account, you may apply for New Shares by making a payment for the appropriate amount via BPAY[®] on the internet or by telephone, using the details on the Application Form (New Zealand based shareholders cannot apply using BPAY[®] unless they have an Australian bank account – see clause 4.4 below). Please ensure that your payment is received by the Registry before 5.00pm (Sydney time) on 19 August 2021.

Applicants should be aware that their own financial institution may implement earlier cut off times with regards to electronic payment, and should take this into consideration when making any electronic payment. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that funds submitted through BPAY[®] are received in time. The Application Form does not need to be returned when paying by BPAY[®] .

  • 4.4 If you are an Eligible Shareholder who is resident in New Zealand and you are unable to use BPAY[®] , you may apply for New Shares by making payment by international electronic funds transfer in accordance with the separate instructions provided to you along with this Booklet. Any payment under this option is to be made in Australian dollars and is likely to incur international transfer and currency conversion fees levied by your financial institution and these fees will be deducted from the total application monies remitted by you. AROA will only issue New Shares based on the actual amount of application monies received by AROA. Please ensure that your payment in Australian dollars (together with a copy of your remittance advice) is received by the Registry before 5.00pm (Sydney time) on 19 August 2021.

Applicants should be aware that their own financial institution may implement earlier cut off times with regards to electronic payment, and should take this into consideration when making any electronic payment. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that funds submitted through international electronic funds transfer are received in time.

For processing and reconciliation, when making your payment, please add to the remittance advice your Customer Reference Number ( CRN ) which appears under the Biller Code on the front of the Application Form and forward a copy of the remittance advice to the Registry by e- mail to [email protected] as soon as the remittance is complete. Failure to do so may result in funds not being matched to your application and AROA being unable to issue you New Shares under the SPP. The Application Form does not need to be returned when paying by international electronic funds transfer.

  • 4.5 Do not forward cash. Receipts for payment will not be issued.

  • 4.6 An Eligible Shareholder who receives more than one offer under the SPP (for example, because the Eligible Shareholder holds Shares in more than one capacity or in different registered holdings) may apply for New Shares on different Application Forms for each Eligible Shareholder but may not apply for New Shares with an aggregate value of more than A$15,000.

  • 4.7 If you wish to subscribe for New Shares as a Custodian for one or more Eligible Beneficiaries, you must also complete and submit a certificate that complies with paragraph 8(3) of ASIC Instrument 2019/547 ( Custodian Certificate ) before your application will be accepted. Applications by Custodians that are not accompanied by a duly completed Custodian Certificate will be rejected.

  • 4.8 AROA and its officers and agents may accept or reject your application for New Shares in whole or in part at their discretion including, without limitation, if:

  • (1) your application does not comply with these terms and conditions;

  • (2) it appears you are not an Eligible Shareholder;

  • (3) your BPAY[®] payment, Application Form and payment by cheque or, if you are a resident of New Zealand, your payment by international electronic funds transfer, is not received by the Registry by 5.00pm (Sydney time) on 19 August 2021;

11

  • (4) you make payment by BPAY[®] , and you fail to include the Customer Reference Number listed on your Application Form as the reference number to the BPAY[®] payment;

  • (5) you make payment by international electronic funds transfer and you fail to:

    • (a) make your payment in Australian dollars;

    • (b) include the Customer Reference Number listed on your Application Form as the reference number to the transfer and on your remittance advice; and/or

    • (c) send a copy of your remittance advice to the Registry by email to [email protected] as soon as the remittance is done;

  • (6) AROA believes that you are applying to purchase more than A$15,000 worth of New Shares in aggregate (including as a result of Shares you hold directly, jointly or through a custodian or nominee arrangement) or your application is for less than A$1,000 worth of new Shares or not for an amount in a A$1,000 increment; or

  • (7) payment of the application monies is not received in Australian currency.

  • 4.9 You cannot withdraw or revoke your application once you have paid via BPAY[®] , submitted an Application Form and payment by cheque or, if you are a resident of New Zealand, you have paid an amount by international electronic funds transfer.

5 Issue Price

  • 5.1 The Issue Price will be A$1.165 per New Share, being the price at which the Placement Shares were issued under the Placement and a 1.7% discount to the closing price of Shares, and a 4.6% discount to the 5 day VWAP of the Shares, on ASX on and up to 26 July 2021, being the last day on which the Shares traded before the announcement of the SPP Offer.

  • 5.2 The current price of Shares can be obtained from the ASX – www.asx.com.au, and may be listed in major financial newspapers circulating in Australia.

  • 5.3 You agree to pay the Issue Price per New Share for the number of New Shares calculated under clause 6.1 or, if there is a scale back, the number of New Shares calculated under clause 8.

6 Calculation and issue of New Shares

  • 6.1 If you apply for New Shares under the SPP, you will apply for a certain value, rather than a certain number, of New Shares. If your application is accepted, AROA will divide the value of your application monies (taking into account the terms of clause 6.2) by the Issue Price (as set out in clause 5.1) in order to determine the number of New Shares which, subject to scale back, will be issued to you.

  • 6.2 If you are a resident of New Zealand and you make an application and pay application monies via an international electronic funds transfer, the value of the New Shares applied for will be determined by the amount of the application funds actually received by AROA (having taken into account any international transfer and currency conversion fees levied by your bank in converting New Zealand dollars to Australian dollars).

  • 6.3 If the calculation in clause 6.1 produces a fractional number of New Shares, the number of New Shares issued to you will be rounded down to the nearest whole New Share. Subject to any scale back being undertaken, any surplus funds resulting from fractional rounding will not be returned to applicants.

12

  • 6.4 It is expected that the New Shares will be issued to applicants on or around 25 August 2021 ( Issue Date ).

  • 6.5 New Shares issued under the SPP will rank equally in all respects with existing Shares as at the Issue Date.

  • 6.6 AROA will apply to the ASX for quotation of the New Shares issued under the SPP. It is anticipated that the New Shares will be admitted to quotation on the ASX as soon as practicable after their issue.

  • 6.7 The Registry is expected to send holding statements in respect of the New Shares issued under the SPP on or around 26 August 2021.

7 Effect of applying to participate

  • 7.1 By making a payment via BPAY[®] , submitting an Application Form and payment by cheque or, if you are a resident of New Zealand, paying an amount by international electronic funds transfer (on your own behalf and on behalf of each person for whose account you are acting, if applicable), you:
