IMPORTANT NOTICES
Prospectus
Neither ASIC nor ASX (or their respective officers) take any responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus or the merits of the investment to which this Prospectus relates.
This Prospectus is a transaction specific prospectus for an offer of continuously quoted securities (as defined in the Corporations Act) and options to acquire continuously quoted securities and has been prepared in accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act. It does not contain the same level of disclosure as an initial public offering prospectus. In making representations in this Prospectus regard has been had to the fact that the Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and certain matters may reasonably be expected to be known to investors and professional advisers whom potential investors may consult.
Options. The Company is therefore undertaking the offer of SPP Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.
Similarly, ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 5) permits a listed company to issue securities under a share purchase plan without that issuance counting towards the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 where the issuance satisfied the condition of the ASIC Instrument. Given the Company is unable to satisfy the conditions of the ASIC Instrument for the SPP, the issue of SPP Securities is subject to Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. This approval is being sought at the General Meeting currently scheduled to occur on 23 June 2025 at 10.30am (AEST). If shareholder approval is given, the issue of SPP Securities (and any Shortfall Securities) will not use up any of the Company's placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Eligible Shareholders and investors wishing to participate in the SPP and Shortfall should note that the issue price of Shares offered under this Prospectus, being $0.0185 per Share, is at a premium to the closing price of Shares on the ASX as at 19 May 2025, the last trading date immediately before the date of this Prospectus (being $0.017 per Share). This means at the date of this Prospectus you are able to acquire Shares on market at a lower price than the issue price under the Offers.

LETTER FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR
Dear Investor,
On behalf of the Board, I am delighted to offer you this opportunity to invest in Atomo Diagnostics. Atomo Diagnostics is an emerging leader in design and commercialisation of user-centred innovative, accurate and reliable rapid diagnostic solutions. Atomo supplies unique technology and finished rapid tests to various partners and markets, with its solutions used by both healthcare professionals and untrained lay users, to detect and test for infectious diseases, chronic health conditions and consumer wellness.
Most current rapid test solutions in market were designed initially for use in laboratories. Over time these solutions have been increasingly deployed in settings closer to the patient such as doctor's offices and in clinic and more recently for use in the home by consumers. Since the COVID-19 pandemic where athome testing was normalised, the market has seen increased acceptance of at-home testing, with consumers more confident to test themselves and regulators and clinicians more cognisant of the ability of rapid tests to effectively reach people through decentralised and at-home settings. This has included a growing level of adoption of infectious disease self-testing in public health policy and procurement.
Atomo's innovative technologies and products simplify rapid test procedure and reduce errors common in the rapid test process, with the usability of its solutions increasingly recognised in the diagnostic market. This supports the expansion of Atomo’s existing business as well as the extension of the test menu being offered to market using Atomo technology through partner arrangements and Atomo’s own product offerings.
Capital raising activities
As announced to the market on 24 April 2025, Atomo has undertaken a two-tranche placement of Shares and Options, with 46,929,731 Shares and 46,929,731 Options already issued under the Tranche 1 Placement to raise $868,200 (before costs), and binding commitments received for a further 67,989,186 Shares and 67,989,186 Options to raise an additional $1.25 million (approx.) (before costs) under Tranche 2, which is conditional on shareholder approval (together the Placement ), which is being sought at the General Meeting scheduled for 23 June 2025.
The Options are to be unlisted and were offered on the basis of one free-attaching Option, for each Share subscribed (and issued) under the Placement. Each Option is to have a nil issue price, an exercise price of $0.04, and an expiry date of 36 months from their date of issue.
Atomo also announced on 24 April 2025 that it would undertake a share purchase plan ( SPP ) to offer its existing Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to subscribe for Shares and Options, on the same terms as offered under the Placement, to raise up to an additional $1 million (with the Directors to have discretion to accept oversubscriptions should demand arise). In the event that not all Shares and Options are taken up under the SPP, the Directors will invite certain parties identified by them to take up any shortall under the Shortfall Offer.
The funds to be raised under the Placement and the Offers are to be used for general working capital requirements, with specific allocations to be confirmed by the board once the capital available to the business after costs is known. The intended Use of Funds based on the company securing the full $3,126 million, is set out below:
| Allocation of funds | $ | % |

| be issued as soon as practicable after the General Meeting on 23 June 2025 at 10.30am (AEST). |
||
| What are the terms of the Options? |
The terms of the Options to be issued under the Offers are the same as the terms of the Options offered under the T1 Placement. The Options have a nil issue price, will be exercisable at $0.04 each and will expire on the date that is 36 months after their issue date (as set out in the Indicative Timetable). Full terms and conditions are set out in Section 4.2. |
Section 4.2 |
| Why is the Company seeking to raise funds? |
The Company is seeking to raise funds for: • product development (new products); • Operational activities to reduce product cost of goods (COGS); • regulatory activities and product quality assurance • general working capital; and • costs of the Offers. |
Section 1.17 |
| What is the effect of the Offers? |
The effect of the Offers on the capital structure and financial position of the Company will depend on the level of participation by Eligible Shareholders. It is presently intended that a maximum of $1,000,000 will be raised under the SPP Offer. Applications will be scaled back on a pro-rata basis, if required. The Board presently intends that the SPP Offer will close after the maximum amount of $1,000,000 has been raised, however it reserves the right to accept oversubscriptions (but subject to a maximum of $30,000 per shareholder). The SPP Offer under this Prospectus will also settle simultaneously with the second tranche of the Placement announced on 24 April 2025 (subject to the requisite Shareholder approvals being obtained), which will further impact the Company's share capital. If the SPP Offer is fully subscribed, 54,054,054 Shares and 54,054,054 Options will be issued under the SPP. This would result in the Company having a total of 808,175,281 Shares on issue at completion of the Placement and the SPP, with the SPP Shares representing 6.69% of the Shares then on issue (assuming no Options are exercised). If the SPP Options were exercised (but no other Options were exercised), the Company would have a theoretical total of 862,229,335 Shares on issue, with the Securities issued under the SPP representing 12.54%. The SPP will not have any control effect on the Company, however refer to Section 2.3 for the expected impact on the Company's substantial holders of both the Placement and the SPP. |
Section 2 |
| What are the risks of a further investment in the Company? |
Subscribing for Securities involves a number of risks including (but not limited to) risks in respect of: • Share price risk:Eligible Shareholders and investors wishing to participate in the SPP and Shortfall should |

| note that the issue price of Shares offered under this Prospectus, being $0.0185 per Share, is at a premium to the closing price of Shares on the ASX as at 19 May 2025, the date immediately before the date of this Prospectus (being $0.017 per Share). This means at the date of this Prospectus you are able to acquire Shares on market at a lower price than the issue price under the SPP Offer.] By applying for Securities under this Prospectus, an applicant accepts the risk that the market price of the Shares may change and may remain below the issue price under the Offers. • Going concern risk:Neither of the SPP Offer or the T2 Placement are underwritten, and both remain subject to shareholder approval. If the Company is not able to complete the T2 Placement and the SPP Offer is not fully subscribed, the Company will need to find alternative sources of capital in order to remain a going concern. • Future funding:Further funding will be required by the Company to support its ongoing activities and operations. There can be no assurance that such funding will be available on satisfactory terms or at all. • Regulatory approvals: The Company's distribution partners and customers rely on having regulatory approved products. The Company's business is governed by various regulations in the jurisdictions in which it operates and proposes to operate. There is no assurance that delays will not occur in connection with obtaining the necessary approvals for products. Any delay in the receipt of regulatory clearance may result in a delay to the intended launch date of certain products, which will delay revenue and adversely affect financial performance. In the event that any relevant licenses or approvals were not granted, not renewed, withdrawn, or made subject to conditions that were onerous or unacceptable to the Company, its business could be materially adversely affected. • Reliance on distribution partners: The success of the Company’s business relies on its ability to attract and retain distribution partners, and the success of its distribution partners’ sales and marketing teams to adequately promote the Company’s products. The loss of, or a significant decrease in, the business from a distribution partner could adversely impact revenues. • Intellectual Property: The value of the Company's products is dependent on its ability to protect its intellectual property, including by trademarks, copyright, patent and moral rights. Any failure to adequately protect its intellectual property rights could have an adverse impact on the Company’s operating and financial performance. • Failure to attract and retain key personnel: The success of the Company's business is dependent on retaining key members of senior management. There is a risk that the departure of such personnel, or any delay in their replacement, could have a significant negative impact on management’s ability to operate the business |

| and achieve financial performance targets, in addition to harming the Company's research and development programs. • Competitive industry: The Company competes against a wide range of other health care companies that offer diagnostics solutions, some of which have significantly more resources than the Company. An inability to compete effectively against existing competitors and potential new entrants could have a material adverse effect on the business. • Product acceptance: The Company’s success depends on market acceptance and adoption of the Company's products. This will depend on many factors, including clinical evidence demonstrating the positive clinical and cost benefit outcomes and the Company’s ability to develop and market products. If sufficient market acceptance is not achieved, the growth in the Company’s revenue may slow or decline which will have an adverse impact on the Company’s operating and financial performance. • Development of products: The Company's business is dependent on the continued improvement of existing products and development of new products utilising current or other potential future technology. The Company cannot guarantee that any products under development will result in the launch of a commercially viable product. If the Company does not develop new products and product enhancements on a timely basis, the products may become obsolete over time and revenues, cash flow, profitability and competitive position will decline. Difficulties or delays in research, development or production of new products and services or failure to gain market acceptance of new products and technologies may reduce future revenues and adversely affect the Company’s competitive position. • Reliance on third party manufacturers: The Company engages contract manufacturers for the production of its products. Due to the speciality of the products which the Company distributes there is a limited pool of qualified suppliers. Disruption to any key supplier could have an adverse impact on the availability of the Company's products to distribution partners and end users. • General market risks:The Company is exposed to general market and economic condition risks including adverse changes in levels of economic activity, exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices, government policies, employment rates and industrial disruption. |

1. Details of the Offers
1.1 Background to the Placement and SPP
On 24 April 2025, the Company announced that it was undertaking a capital raising of approximately $3.1 million comprising:
-
(a) a two tranche placement to professional, sophisticated and exempt investors to raise approximately $2.13 million ( Placement ) via the issue of:
-
(i) 46,929,731 Shares ( T1 Shares ) at an issue price of $0.0185 per Share together with 46,929,731 new unlisted Options ( T1 Options ) free attaching on the basis of one T1 Option for every T1 Share subscribed for and issued, to raise approximately $868,200 (before costs) (the T1 Placement ); and
-
(ii) 67,989,186 Shares ( T2 Shares ) at an issue price of $0.0185 per Share together with 67,989,186 new unlisted Options ( T2 Options ) free attaching on the basis of one T2 Option for every T2 Share subscribed for and issued, to raise approximately $1,257,800 (before costs), conditional upon shareholder approval at the upcoming General Meeting (the T2 Placement ). Binding commitment letters have been signed with respect to the T2 Placement; and
-
(b) a share purchase plan to raise up to $1 million (with an ability to accept oversubscriptions), under which each Eligible Shareholders would be given an opportunity to acquire Shares up to the value of $30,000 at an issue price of $0.0185 per Share ( SPP ).
The Company also announced that, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, participants in the Placement and the SPP would be issued one free-attaching attaching Option for every Share subscribed for and issued to them pursuant to the Placement and SPP. The Options are unlisted, have a nil issue price and are exercisable at $0.04 each, on or before the date that is 36 months years from the date of issue of the Options.
On 5 May 2025, the Company issued 46,929,731 Shares and 46,929,731 Options under the T1 Placement pursuant to the Company’s available placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The issue of the T2 Options, the SPP Shares and the SPP Options is subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval at the Company’s upcoming general meeting to be held on 23 June 2025 ( General Meeting ). If approval for the issue of these securities is not obtained at the General Meeting (but Shareholders ratify the issue of prior securities under the T1 Placement), the Company will scale back the SPP Offer such that the maximum number of equity securities available under the SPP Offer does not exceed the Company's then available placement capacity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. If you have lodged an Application in respect of the SPP Offer you will have no right to withdraw your Application, and the Company will apply any scale back amongst the Applicants on a pro rata basis.
Further details in relation to the Placement and the SPP are set out in the ASX announcement dated 24 April 2025 ( Announcement ).

DOC ID 1314061283/V1
1.2 Placement Options Offer (T2 Options and their underlying securities)
The Placement Options Offer is being made to participants in the T2 Placement such that the relief provided under ASIC Corporations (Sale Offers That Do Not Need Disclosure) Instrument 2016/80 with respect to the on-sale provisions of section 707 of the Corporations Act is available.
Specifically, given the T2 Options are issued with disclosure under this Prospectus, the Shares issued upon the exercise of any of the Placement Options can be on-sold within 12 months of their issue, without a disclosure document for the on-sale offer.
No funds will be raised under the Placement Options Offer (other than funds raised if the T2 Options are subsequently exercised) as the T2 Options are free-attaching to Shares issued under the T2 Placement on a one for one basis.
1.3 Cleansing Prospectus (T1 Options and their underlying securities)
This Prospectus is also being issued under section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act for the purposes of removing any secondary trading restrictions that may have attached to certain securities issued prior to the date of this Prospectus, including the T1 Options and Options in the same class as those Options (and any subsequent Shares that may be issued upon their exercise).
If securities are issued to an investor without a disclosure document then the on-sale of those securities (or in the case of an option, their underlying securities) is generally restricted pursuant to the Corporations Act, unless an exemption applies (such as those under section 708A of the Corporations Act).
As noted at Section 1.1 above, the Company has completed the T1 Placement and issued both the T1 Shares and the T1 Options on 5 May 2025. The Company issued a cleansing statement for the purposes of section 708A in respect of the T1 Shares on 5 May 2025. The issue of the T1 Options (or any Shares issued upon their exercise was not offered with disclosure and has not been cleansed).
Relevantly, section 708A(11) provides that a sale offer does not need disclosure to investors if:
-
the relevant securities are in a class of securities of the company that are already quoted on the ASX (section 708A(11)(a));
-
a prospectus is lodged with ASIC either: (i) on or after the day on which the relevant securities were issued but before the day on which the sale offer is made (section 708A(11)(b)(i)); or (ii) before the day on which the relevant securities are issued and offers of securities that have been made under the prospectus are still open for acceptance on the day on which the relevant securities were issued (section 708A(b)(ii)); and
-
the prospectus is for an offer of securities issued by the company that are in the same class of securities as the relevant securities.
This Prospectus contains the Placement Options Offer, which is the offer of Options that is in the same class as the T1 Options. Accordingly, this Prospectus has been issued to facilitate secondary trading of the T1 Options (and any Shares that may be issued upon their exercise) that have been issued without disclosure to investors under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act prior to the date of this Prospectus.
Page 17
DOC ID 1314061283/V1
No funds were (or will be) raised from the issue of the T1 Options (other than funds raised if the T1 Options are subsequently exercised) as the T1 Options are free-attaching to Shares issued under the T1 Placement on a one for one basis.

All of the Shares issued upon exercise of the SPP Options will rank equally with the Shares on issue at the date of this Prospectus.
The SPP Offer is non-renounceable, meaning that Eligible Shareholders may not transfer their rights to any Securities offered under the SPP Offer.
No funds will be raised from the issue of SPP Options as they are free attaching to Shares issued under the SPP on a one for one basis.

The Company reserves the absolute discretion to scale back applications under the SPP Offer to the extent and in the manner it sees fit.

If the Company undertakes a scale back, you will receive the number of SPP Securities determined by the Company in its absolute discretion which may be less than the number of Securities applied for. In this case, the difference between the application moneys received and the number of SPP Shares allocated to you multiplied by the issue price per SPP Share may be refunded to you by direct credit (to your nominated account recorded on the Company’s share register) as soon as practicable, without interest. If you require assistance in accepting the SPP Offer, please contact the Registry on 1300 737 760.
1.9 Conditional Offers
The Offers under this Prospectus are conditional upon the Company obtaining Shareholder approval to issue the relevant Securities at the General Meeting to be held on 23 June 2025 at 10.30am (AEST).
The approvals are not inter-conditional and if Shareholder approval is not obtained in respect of one Offer, it may not preclude the Company from proceeding with the other Offers.
If Shareholder approval is not received at the General Meeting for the issue of Securities under the SPP Offer (but shareholders do ratify the prior issue of Securities under the T1 Placement), the Company will scale back the SPP Offer such that the maximum number of equity securities available under the SPP Offer does not exceed the Company's then available placement capacity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. If you have lodged an Application in respect of the SPP Offer you will have no right to withdraw your Application, and the Company will apply any scale back amongst the Applicants on a pro rata basis.
If Shareholder approval is not received for the issue of the T2 Options, the Company will withdraw the Placement Options Offer.

The above table assumes $1,000,000 is raised under the SPP Offer and that the requisite shareholder approvals are obtained to permit both the SPP Offer and the second tranche of the Placement to proceed. In the event that a lesser amount is raised, the Company intends to reduce the scope of its anticipated activities focusing on those products which in the Company’s opinion are likely to deliver the greatest value in the short term. In the event that the Company accepts oversubscriptions, the Company intends to allocate additional expenditure towards product development.
-
Working capital includes but is not limited to corporate administration and operating costs and may be applied to additional directors' fees or executive fees, ASX and share registry fees, legal, tax and audit fees, insurance and travel costs.
-
Refer to Section 5.11 for information regarding the expenses of the Offers.
The above is a statement of current intentions at the Prospectus Date. Intervening events and new circumstances have the potential to affect the manner in which the funds are ultimately applied. The Board reserves the right to alter the way the funds are applied on this basis.
The amounts and timing of the actual expenditures and investments may vary significantly and will depend on numerous factors including regulatory developments, the success of research and development activities, and any changes in the business and economic environment.
The Board believes its available cash and the maximum net proceeds of the SPP Offer and the Placement should be sufficient to fund the Company's activities until approximately January 2027.

DOC ID 1314061283/V1
In the event that less than the maximum amount is raised under the SPP Offer (or shareholders do not approve either or both of the SPP Offer or the issue of further securities under the Placement), the Company would need to find alternative financing to meet its funding requirements.
The Board believes that the funds raised from the SPP Offer will provide the Company with sufficient working capital to achieve its stated objectives as detailed in this Prospectus.
1.18 No rights trading
The rights to participate in the SPP Offer are non-renounceable. Accordingly, there will be no trading of rights on ASX and you may not dispose of your entitlement to participate in the SPP to any other party. If you do not take up your entitlement to participate in the SPP Offer by the Closing Date, the offer to you under the SPP Offer will lapse.
1.19 Issue date and dispatch
The issue of Securities offered under the Offers will take place in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and the Indicative Timetable set out at the commencement of this Prospectus.
The Directors will determine the allottees of all the Securities the subject of the Offers. The Directors reserve the right to decline any applications received, or to issue a lesser number of Securities than that applied for. Where the number of Securities issued is less than the number applied for, or where no issue is made, surplus application monies will be refunded without any interest to the Applicant as soon as practicable after the applicable closing date of the Offer.
Pending the issue of the Securities or payment of refunds pursuant to this Prospectus, all application monies will be held by the Company in trust for Applicants in a separate bank account as required by the Corporations Act. The Company, however, will be entitled to retain all interest that accrues on the bank account and each Applicant waives the right to claim interest.
Holding statements for Securities issued under the Offers will be mailed as soon as practicable after the issue of the Securities. Applicants who sell Securities before they receive their holding statements do so at their own risk.
1.20 Application Monies held on trust
All Application Monies received for the SPP Shares offered under this Prospectus 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 SPP Shares are issued. All Application Monies received in respect of the SPP Offer will be returned (without interest) if the SPP Shares are not issued for any reason.
1.21 ASX quotation
Application has been or will be made for the official quotation of the Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus. No application has been or will be made for the official quotation of the Options offered pursuant to this Prospectus.
If permission is not granted by ASX for the official quotation of the Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus within three months after the date of this Prospectus (or such period as ASX allows), the Company will repay, as soon as practicable, without interest, all Application Monies received pursuant to this Prospectus.
Page 24
DOC ID 1314061283/V1
The fact that ASX may grant Official Quotation to the Shares is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of the Company or the Securities now offered for subscription.
1.22 CHESS
The Company participates in the Clearing House Electronic Sub-register System, known as CHESS. ASX Settlement Pty Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX, operates CHESS in accordance with the Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.
Under CHESS, Applicants will not receive a certificate but will receive a statement of their holding of Shares.
If you are broker sponsored, ASX Settlement Pty Limited will send you a CHESS statement.
The CHESS statement will specify 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 Shares.
If you are registered on the Issuer Sponsored sub-register, your statement will be despatched by Boardroom 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.
1.23 International offer restrictions
The Offers do not, and are not intended to, constitute an offer in any place or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or to issue this Prospectus.
The Offers are not being extended and Securities will not be issued to investors with a registered address which is outside Australia.
Residents of countries outside Australia should consult their professional advisers as to whether any government or other consents are required, or whether any formalities need to be observed should they wish to make an application to take up Securities on the basis of this Prospectus. The payment of Application Monies in accordance with an Application Form will be taken to constitute a representation and warranty that there has been no breach of such laws and that all approvals and consents have been obtained.
1.24 Ineligible Foreign Shareholders
The Company believes that it is unreasonable to extend the SPP Offer to Ineligible Foreign Shareholders. The Company has formed this view having considered:
-
(a) the number and value of the SPP Shares that would be offered to those Shareholders; and
-
(b) the cost of complying with the legal requirements and the requirements of regulatory authorities in the overseas jurisdictions.
Accordingly, Ineligible Foreign Shareholders will not be entitled to participate in the SPP Offer.
Page 25
DOC ID 1314061283/V1
1.25 Notice to nominees and custodians
Nominees and custodians that hold Shares should note that the SPP Offer is available only to Eligible Shareholders.
Nominees and custodians must not distribute this Prospectus, and may not permit any beneficial shareholder to participate in the Offers, in any country outside Australia except, with the consent of the Company, to beneficial shareholders resident in certain other countries where the Company may determine it is lawful and practical to make the Offers.
The Company is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder is acting as a nominee or the identity or residence of any beneficial shareholders. If any nominee or custodian is acting on behalf of a foreign person, that holder in dealing with its beneficiary, will need to assess whether indirect participation by the beneficiary in the SPP Offer is compatible with applicable foreign laws.
1.26 Taxation implications
The Directors do not consider it appropriate to give Applicants advice regarding the taxation consequences of subscribing for Securities under this Prospectus.
The Company, its advisers and its officers do not accept any responsibility or liability for any such taxation consequences to Applicants. As a result, Applicants should consult their professional tax adviser in connection with subscribing for Securities under this Prospectus.
1.27 Privacy
The Company collects information about each Applicant provided on an Application Form for the purposes of processing the Application and, if the Application is successful, to administer the Applicant's Security holding in the Company.
By submitting an Application Form, each Applicant agrees that the Company may use the information provided by an Applicant on the Application Form for the purposes set out in this privacy disclosure statement and may disclose it for those purposes to the share registry, the Company's related bodies corporate, agents, contractors and third party service providers, including mailing houses and professional advisers, and to ASX and regulatory authorities. The Company's privacy policy is available at www.atomodiagnostics.com/privacy-policy/.
If you do not provide the information required on the Application Form, the Company may not be able to accept or process your Application.
An Applicant has an entitlement to gain access to the information that the Company holds about that person subject to certain exemptions under law. A fee may be charged for access. Access requests must be made in writing to the Company's registered office.
1.28 Withdrawal
The Directors may at any time decide to withdraw this Prospectus and the Offers, or any part of the Offers.
If the SPP Offer or the Shortfall Offer is withdrawn, all Application Monies will be returned without interest in accordance with the Corporations Act.
Page 26
DOC ID 1314061283/V1
1.29 Forecasts
The Directors have considered the matters detailed in ASIC Regulatory Guide 170 and believe that they do not have a reasonable basis to forecast future earnings on the basis that the operations of the Company are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, any forecast or projection information would contain such a broad range of potential outcomes and possibilities that it is not possible to prepare a reliable best estimate forecast or projection.
The Directors consequently believe that, given these inherent uncertainties, it is not possible to include reliable forecasts in this Prospectus.
1.30 Risk factors of an investment in the Company
Prospective investors should be aware that an investment in the Company should be considered highly speculative and involves a number of risks inherent in the various business segments of the Company. Section 3 details the key risk factors which prospective investors should be aware of. It is recommended that prospective investors consider these risks carefully before deciding whether to invest in the Company.
This Prospectus should be read in its entirety as it provides information for prospective investors to decide whether to invest in the Company. If you have any questions about the desirability of, or procedure for, investing in the Company please contact your stockbroker, accountant or other independent adviser.

- Effect of the Offers
2.1 Principal effect of the Offers
Assuming the targeted amount of $1,000,000 is raised under the SPP Offer, all Eligible Shareholders apply for SPP Options, and all Shareholder approvals are obtained at the General Meeting, the principal effects of the Offers on the Company will be to:
-
(a) increase the cash reserves of the Company by $1,000,000 (less the estimated expenses of the Offers) immediately after completion of the Offers;
-
(b) increase the number of Shares on issue by 54,054,054 Shares, from 754,121,227 (assuming the Shares are issued under the second tranche of the Placement immediately prior to (and on the same day as) the SPP Shares) to 808,175,281 immediately after completion of the Offers and the Placement;
-
(c) increase the number of Options on issue by 122,043,240 Options (comprising 54,054,054 SPP Options and 67,989,186 T2 Options, from 53,038,065 Options to 175,081,305 immediately after completion of the Offers and the Placement.
One SPP Option will be offered for every SPP Share issued. The final number of SPP Shares issued (and hence the final number of SPP Options) will depend on the level of applications received under the SPP (and if applicable, the Shortfall Offer). As the Shortfall Offer will only occur if there is a Shortfall, and only to the extent of any Shortfall, the maximum effect of the Shortfall Offer will not vary the above.
The cash reserves of the Company will increase by approximately $1,000,000 (less the expenses of the Offers) immediately after settlement of the SPP.
See also Section 1.3 for the purpose of this Prospectus with respect to the T1 Options.
2.2 Effect the Offers on capital structure
On the basis that the Company completes the Offers on the terms in this Prospectus (which assumes that all requisite shareholder approvals are granted), the Company's capital structure will be as follows:
| Securities currently on issue | Securities currently on issue |
|---|---|
| Shares1 | 686,132,041 |
| Options1 | 53,086,065 |
| Maximum Securities on issue on completion of the Offers | |
| Shares2,3 | 808,175,281 |
| Options4,5 | 175,081,305 |
Notes:
- Following the issue of 46,929,731 Shares and 46,929,731 T1 Options on 5 May 2025 under the first tranche of the Placement.
Page 28
DOC ID 1314061283/V1
-
The figures shown above assume $1,000,000 is raised under the SPP Offer by the issue of 54,054,054 Shares and that no oversubscriptions are accepted, that no Options are exercised and that Shareholder approval is received at the General Meeting for the issue of the SPP Securities (and Shortfall Securities if any) pursuant to the Offers.
-
Refer to Section 4.1 for a summary of the terms and conditions of the Shares.
-
This assumes that a further 67,989,186 T2 Options are issued pursuant to the Placement Options Offer and that 54,054,054 SPP Options are issued pursuant to the SPP Offer.
-
Options exercisable at $0.04 each on or before the date which is 36 months from the date of issue. Refer to Section 4.2 for a summary of the terms and conditions of the Options to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus.
2.3 Effect of the Offers on substantial shareholders
Based on the information available to the Company through the Share Registry as at the date of this Prospectus, the Shareholders who (together with their associates) have a relevant interest in 5% or more of the Shares on issue:
-
(a) as at the date of this Prospectus (and following completion of the first tranche of the Placement) are set out the second and third columns of the table below;
-
(b) on completion of the Offers are set out in the fourth and fifth columns of the table below, assuming:
-
(i) the T2 Placement is completed;
-
(ii) the SPP Offer is fully subscribed;
-
(iii) no Options currently held by a substantial shareholder (if any) are exercised;
-
(iv) existing substantial shareholders do not subscribe for the Offers (other than John Kelly and associates who intend to subscribe for their full $30,000 entitlement under the SPP Offer); and
-
(v) no other Shares are issued.
| Substantial Shareholder | Shares (existing) |
% | Shares (post SPP & second tranche of Placement) |
% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GZ Family Holdings Pty Ltd as trustee for the GZ Family and its associated entities1,3 |
113,359,869 | 16.52 | 113,359,869 | 14.03% |
| Director, John Kelly and his associated entities2 |
72,490,248 | 10.57 | 74,111,870 | 9.17 |
| Global Health Investment Fund 1 LLC3 |
61,570,716 | 8.97 | 61,570,716 | 7.62 |
Notes:
-
Associated entities include: GZ Super Investments Pty Ltd ATF GZ Superannuation Fund
-
Associated entities include: Dalraida Holdings Pty Limited
Page 29
DOC ID 1314061283/V1
- If any of these entities or their associates do participate in the SPP, their shareholdings will increase relative to their participation level.
2.4 Effect of the Offers on control of the Company
The effect of the Offers on the capital structure and financial position of the Company will depend on the level of participation by Eligible Shareholders.
It is presently intended that a maximum of $1,000,000 will be raised under the SPP Offer. Applications will be scaled back on a pro-rata basis, if required. The Board presently intends that the SPP Offer will close after the maximum amount of $1,000,000 has been raised, however it reserves the right to accept oversubscriptions (but subject to a maximum of $30,000 per shareholder).
The SPP Offer under this Prospectus will also settle simultaneously with the T2 Placement announced on 24 April 2025 (subject to the requisite Shareholder approvals being obtained), which will further impact the Company's share capital.
If the SPP Offer is fully subscribed, 54,054,054 Shares and 54,054,054 Options will be issued under the SPP. This would result in the Company having a total of 808,175,281 Shares on issue at completion of the T2 Placement and the SPP, with the SPP Shares representing 6.69% of the Shares then on issue (assuming no Options are exercised). The maximum number of Options proposed to be issued under the Offers is 122,043,240 comprising 54,054,054 SPP Options and 67,989,186 T2 Options.
Assuming the SPP Offer is fully subscribed and no other Securities are issued or converted to Shares except as stated below:
-
(a) If all Options offered under this Prospectus are exercised, the additional Shares issued on exercise will constitute approximately 18.16% of the Shares on issue following completion of the Offers.
-
(b) If only the SPP Options are exercised, the additional Shares issued on exercise will constitute approximately 6.27% of the Shares on issue following completion of the Offers.
-
(c) If only the T2 Options are exercised, the additional Shares issued on exercise will constitute approximately 13.12% of the Shares on issue following completion of the Offers.
Details of the anticipated effect of the Offers on substantial shareholders is set out at Section 2.3 above.
The Company is of the view that the Offers will not affect the control (as defined by section 50AA of the Corporations Act) of the Company. No investor or existing Shareholder will have a voting power greater than 20% as a result of the completion of the Offers.
At the date of this Prospectus, the Company is of the view that there is no one entity who controls the Company.
While the final percentage interests held by Shareholders of the Company is entirely dependent on the extent to which they are Eligible Shareholders and to the extent of their participation and to which the other Shareholders participate in the SPP Offer and, subsequently, exercise their SPP Options, the Company expects that the potential effect of the issue of the SPP Securities on the control of the Company will be minimal and that no Shareholder will increase their interest in the Company to greater than 19.99% as a result of applying for SPP Shares under the SPP Offer and subsequently exercising all of their SPP Options.
Page 30
DOC ID 1314061283/V1
In the event of a Shortfall, the Directors reserve the right to place the Shortfall Offer at their sole discretion, subject to the Corporations Act and in compliance with the Listing Rules. To the extent that any Shareholder who applies for Shares under the Shortfall Offer may obtain a substantial interest in the Company if they were to receive and exercise all Securities applied for, the Shortfall Offer will only be placed to the extent that such placement is in compliance with the takeover provisions of the Corporations Act, which restrict a person and their associates from having a relevant interest in the Company of not more than 19.99% (subject to a number of exemptions), and as contemplated within the Listing Rules.
2.5 Potential dilution
Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Offers, their holdings are likely to be diluted (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of the Prospectus). Examples of how the dilution may impact Shareholders are set out in the table below:
| Holder | Holding as at Record Date |
% at Prospectus Date |
% post Offers if the Holder does not participate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shareholder 1 | 50,000,000 | 7.29 | 6.19 |
| Shareholder 2 | 25,000,000 | 3.64 | 3.09 |
| Shareholder 3 | 12,500,000 | 1.82 | 1.55 |
| Shareholder 4 | 6,250,000 | 0.91 | 0.77 |
| Shareholder 5 | 3,125,000 | 0.46 | 0.39 |
| Shareholder 6 | 1,000,000 | 0.15 | 0.12 |
Notes:
-
The table assumes that no Shares are issued other than those offered pursuant to this Prospectus and under the second tranche of the Placement, and no Options are exercised.
-
The dilution effect shown in the table is the maximum percentage of dilution on the assumption that $1,000,000 is raised under the SPP Offer. If there is less participation in the SPP Offer, the dilution effect for each Shareholder not participating in the SPP Offer would be a lesser percentage. If oversubscriptions are permitted in the SPP Offer, the dilution effect for each Shareholder not participating in the SPP Offer would be a higher percentage.
Additionally, the SPP Offer is not being extended to Shareholders with registered addresses outside of Australia, and the holdings of those Shareholders in the Company will be diluted by a maximum of 3.32% in the event that shareholders approve the issue of further securities under the Placement and the SPP Offer is fully subscribed (or 5.48% on a fully diluted basis if all SPP Options and Placement Options on issue after completion of the SPP Offer are exercised).
2.6 Pro-forma consolidated statement of financial position
Set out below is:
- (a) the unaudited consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2024; and
Page 31
DOC ID 1314061283/V1
- (b) the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2024 incorporating the effect of the Placement and the Offers, assuming Shareholders approve the Offers and that $1,000,000 is raised under the SPP Offer.
The pro-forma statement of financial position assumes the maximum number of Securities offered under this Prospectus are issued (i.e. $1000,000 is raised under the SPP Offer and the Shortfall Offer), shareholders approve the issue of further Shares under the T2 Placement, and no existing Options are exercised, and including expenses of the Offers). The statements of financial position have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies normally adopted by the Company.
The statements of financial position have been prepared to provide Shareholders with information on the assets and liabilities of the Company and the pro forma assets and liabilities of the Company as noted below. The historical and pro forma information is presented in abbreviated form; it does not include all of the disclosures required by the Australian Accounting Standards applicable to annual financial statements.

3. Risk factors
An investment in securities should be regarded as speculative. Activities in the Company, as in any business, are subject to risks which may impact on the Company's future performance. The Company has implemented appropriate strategies, actions, systems and safeguards for known risks, however some are outside its control.
The Directors consider that the following summary, which is not exhaustive, represents some of the major risk factors which Shareholders and prospective investors need to be aware of in evaluating the Company's business and the risks of investing in the Company. Shareholders and prospective investors should carefully consider the following factors in addition to the other information presented in the Prospectus.
The principal risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
3.1 Risks specific to the Company
(a) Share price risk:
Eligible Shareholders and investors wishing to participate in the SPP and Shortfall should note that the issue price of Shares offered under this Prospectus, being $0.0185 per Share, is at a discount to the closing price of Shares on the ASX as at 19 May 2025, the date immediately before the date of this Prospectus (being $0.017 per Share). This means at the date of this Prospectus you are able to acquire Shares on market at a lower price than the issue price under the SPP Offer. By applying for Securities under this Prospectus, an applicant accepts the risk that the market price of the Shares may change and may remain below the issue price under the Offers.
(b) Going concern risk: Neither of the SPP Offer or the T2 Placement are underwritten, and both remain subject to shareholder approval. If the Company is not able to complete the T2 Placement and the SPP Offer is not fully subscribed, the Company will need to find alternative sources of capital in order to remain a going concern.
(c) Future funding requirements
Whilst the Company generates revenue from operations, its expenses currently exceed revenue such that it is yet to reach break-even point.
The Board believes its available cash and the maximum net proceeds of the Offers (assuming shareholders approve the T2 Placement and the SPP Offer, and the SPP is fully subscribed) should be sufficient to fund the Company's activities until approximately January 2027.
There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure sufficient support in future capital raising initiatives.
Any equity financing may be dilutive to Shareholders, may be undertaken at lower prices than the then market price or may involve restrictive covenants which limit the Company's operations and business strategy. Debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. Although the Directors believe that additional capital can be obtained, no assurances can be made that appropriate capital or funding, if and when needed, will be available on terms favourable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its activities and this could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
Page 34
DOC ID 1314061283/V1
activities and could affect the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company may undertake additional offerings of Shares or of securities convertible into Shares in the future. The increase in the number of Shares issued and outstanding and the possibility of sales of such Shares may have a depressive effect on the price of Shares. In addition, as a result of such additional Shares, the voting power of the Company's existing Shareholders will be diluted.
(d)
Regulatory approvals
The Company's distribution partners and customers rely on having regulatory approved products. The Company's business is governed by various regulations in the jurisdictions in which it operates and proposes to operate. There is no assurance that delays will not occur in connection with obtaining the necessary approvals for products. Any delay in the receipt of regulatory clearance may result in a delay to the intended launch date of certain products, which will delay revenue and adversely affect financial performance. In the event that any relevant licenses or approvals were not granted, not renewed, withdrawn, or made subject to conditions that were onerous or unacceptable to the Company, its business could be materially adversely affected.
(e)
Reliance on distribution partners
A key distribution channel for the Company's products is through distribution partners. The success of the Company’s business relies on its ability to attract and retain distribution partners, and the success of its distribution partners’ sales and marketing teams to adequately promote the Company’s products. The loss of, or a significant decrease in, the business from a distribution partner could adversely impact revenues. If distribution partners do not continue to purchase the Company's products, terminate the existing contracts or do not increase their usage over time, the Company's operating and financial performance may be adversely affected.
(f)
Intellectual Property
The value of the Company's products is dependent on its ability to protect its intellectual property, including by trademarks, copyright, patent and moral rights. Any failure to adequately protect its intellectual property rights could have an adverse impact on the Company’s operating and financial performance.
(g) Failure to attract and retain key personnel
The success of the Company's business is dependent on retaining key members of senior management. There is a risk that the departure of such personnel, or any delay in their replacement, could have a negative impact on management’s ability to operate the business and achieve financial performance targets, in addition to harming the Company's research and development programs.
(h) Competitive industry
The Company competes against a wide range of other health care companies that offer diagnostics solutions, some of which have significantly more resources than the Company. An inability to compete effectively against existing competitors and potential new entrants could have a material adverse effect on the business.
(i) Product acceptance
The Company’s success depends on market acceptance and adoption of the Company's products. This will depend on many factors, including clinical evidence demonstrating the positive clinical and cost benefit outcomes and the Company’s ability to develop and
Page 35
DOC ID 1314061283/V1
market products. If sufficient market acceptance is not achieved, the growth in the Company’s revenue may slow or decline which will have an adverse impact on the Company’s operating and financial performance.
(j)
Development of products
The Company's business is dependent on the continued improvement of existing products and development of new products utilising current or other potential future technology. The Company cannot guarantee that any products under development will result in the launch of a commercially viable product. If the Company does not develop new products and product enhancements on a timely basis, the products may become obsolete over time and revenues, cash flow, profitability and competitive position will decline. Difficulties or delays in research, development or production of new products and services or failure to gain market acceptance of new products and technologies may reduce future revenues and adversely affect the Company’s competitive position.
(k)
Defects and recalls
The Company's products may contain undetected defects when first introduced or new products are released. Disruptions affecting the introduction, release or performance of the Company’s products may damage customers’ businesses and could harm their and the Company’s reputation as well as the health of patients. If that occurs, the Company may incur significant costs, the attention of key personnel could be diverted, or other significant customer relations problems may arise. The Company may also be subject to warranty and liability claims for damages related to defects in the products. In addition, if the Company does not meet industry or quality standards, if applicable, the products may be subject to recall. A material liability claim, recall or other occurrence that harms the Company’s reputation or decreases market acceptance of the products could adversely impact the Company's operating results.
(l)
Reliance on third party manufacturers
The Company engages contract manufacturers for the production of its products. Due to the speciality of the products which the Company distributes there is a limited pool of qualified suppliers. Disruption to any key supplier could have an adverse impact on the availability of the Company's products to distribution partners and end users.
(m) Management of growth
The Company's future success depends on its ability to effectively manage growth in revenue, employee numbers and customer base. Failure to appropriately manage growth could result in failure to retain existing distribution partners and customers and a failure to attract new distribution partners or customers which could adversely affect the Company's operating and financial performance.
3.2 General risks
(a) Market conditions and other economic risks
General economic conditions, movements in interest and inflation rates, commodity prices and currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the Company's operations and any future development activities, as well as on its ability to fund those activities.
The price of securities can fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general. This would include but is
Page 36
DOC ID 1314061283/V1
not limited to changes in investor sentiment toward particular market sectors, the demand for and supply of capital, political developments and global sanctions, terrorism, war or other hostilities, and pandemics or other events which have profound impacts on a local or global scale.
Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.
(b) Unforeseen expenditure risk
Expenditure may need to be incurred that has not been taken into account by the Company. Although the Company is not aware of any such additional expenditure requirements, if such expenditure is subsequently incurred, this may adversely affect the expenditure proposals of the Company.
(c) Litigation risk
All industries, including the healthcare sector, are subject to legal claims, with and without merit. Defence and settlement costs of legal claims can be substantial, even with respect to claims that have no merit. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the litigation process, the resolution of any particular legal proceeding to which the Company is or may become subject could have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or the Company's activities.
As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company is not involved in any material legal proceedings and the Directors are not aware of any material legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company.
(d) Insurance
The Company will, where possible and economically practicable, endeavour to mitigate some project and business risks by procuring relevant insurance cover. However, such insurance cover may not always be available or economically justifiable and the policy provisions and exclusions may render a particular claim by the Company outside the scope of the insurance cover.
(e) Security risk
The business of the Company may be materially impacted by breaches of security, onsite or via technology, either by unauthorised access, theft, destruction, loss of information or release of confidential data. The Company’s security measures may not be sufficient to detect or prevent such breaches of security.
(f) Ability to access future capital
The Company will require further financing in the future to fund the development and commercialisation of its products, in addition to amounts raised under the Offers. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to shareholders, may be undertaken at lower prices than the current market price or may involve restrictive covenants which limit the Company’s operations and business strategy. Debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities.
If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to limit or cease its growth and acquisition plans and this could have a material adverse effect on the Company's value.
- (g) Taxation changes
Page 37
DOC ID 1314061283/V1
An investment in securities involves tax considerations which differ for each securityholder depending on their individual financial affairs. Changes in tax law or changes in the way taxation laws are interpreted may impact the Company’s tax liabilities or the tax treatment of a securityholder’s investment.
(h) Force majeure and unforeseen events
Significant catastrophic events (such as war, acts of terrorism, pandemics, loss of power, cyber security breaches or global threats) or natural disasters (such as earthquakes, fire or floods or the outbreak of epidemic disease) could disrupt the Company's operations and those of its clients. Such impacts may affect the Company's ability to develop and deliver its products to its clients by interrupting critical functions, reducing availability or resources or demand for the Company's products, preventing suppliers or customers from honouring their contractual obligations to the Company, or otherwise harming the Company's business.
3.3 Investment speculative
The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by 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 Shares. Shareholders should consider that the investment in the Company is high risk and should consult their professional adviser before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.

The remuneration of any executive directors (of which there is presently only one) is to be fixed by the Board, and must not be calculated as a commission on, or a percentage of, operating revenue.
A Director may also be paid a fix sum set by the Directors where a Director performs extra services or makes special exertions (including going or living away from the Director's usual residential address).
