SUBSTANTIAL HOLDERS

Soft tissue regeneration company Aroa Biosurgery Limited (ASX:ARX, ‘AROA’ or the ‘Company’) provides the following information regarding its substantial shareholders.

Under New Zealand law, there is no requirement for a shareholder of the Company to issue a substantial shareholding notice of holdings above 5%. As the Company is a New Zealand company, the Australian law regarding substantial shareholder notices does not apply to the Company. However, a shareholder may voluntarily disclose such information if it chooses to do so and a number of New Zealand companies that are listed on ASX experience shareholders lodging notices similar to a substantial shareholder notice that is required under Australian law notwithstanding that there is no requirement to do so.

Separately, the Company has undertaken to inform the ASX on becoming aware of a person becoming a substantial shareholder, a movement of at least 1% of shares in which a substantial shareholder has a relevant interest and a person ceasing to be a substantial shareholder.

Accordingly, following the successful completion of the placement of 40,343,348 ordinary shares on 4 August 2021 and further to a change in holdings of Phil McCaw and Movac Fund 3 LP on 9 August 2021, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, its substantial shareholders as of 9 August 2021 are as follows:

as follows:
Holder Name Securities Percentage

BRIAN WARD & TRACEY WARD <ARAWAI NO 2 A/C> 33,125,800 9.702%

PHIL MCCAW <MCSYTH CAPITAL INVESTMENT A/C> and 19,669,229 5.761%
<MCSYTH CHARITABLE A/C>*
  • Phil McCaw’s holding increased by 2,864,879 on 9 August 2021 as reported in Appendix 3Y due to an in specie distribution from Movac Fund 3 LP.
