2012, in regard to all Hunter shares and Hunter options that were not the subject of a valid acceptance and transfer form pursuant to the applicable takeover offer.
In satisfaction of the various conditions prescribed by the Listing Rules to the readmission of Probiomics to the Official List of the ASX, the Current Directors advise that:
-
the names of the 20 largest holders of Probiomics shares and 20 largest holders of Probiomics Offer Options, as at the Quotation Date, are set out in Annexure A ;
-
a distribution schedule of the total number of holders of Probiomics shares and total number of holders of Probiomics Offer Options, as at the Quotation Date, are set out in Annexure B ;
-
14,989,686 Probiomics shares will be subject to escrow for a period commencing on the Quotation Date and ending on and including 3 April, 2014 ( Annexure C ).
The Company notes that, in the ASX circular announced today (3 April 2012) in relation to the re-instatement of the Company to Official Quotation commencing tomorrow (4 April, 2012), ASX stated, inter alia, that a total of 14,999,046 Probiomics shares are will be escrowed for the abovementioned period. The difference between the total number of restricted Probiomics shares referred to in the ASX circular and that stated above in this announcement – i.e. 9,360 Probiomics shares – is attributable to the fact that one of the Hunter shareholders whose Probiomics shares (when issued) will be escrowed, has not validly accepted a Takeover Bid in respect of its Hunter shares. On completion of the Compulsory Acquisition however, the 9,360 Probiomics shares that will then be issued to that Hunter shareholder will be immediately escrowed for the same period as referred to above. At that point in time, a total of 14,999,046 Probiomics shares will then be subject to escrow until and including 3 April, 2014.
In addition, the Company advises that all of the 6,337,817 Probiomics Performance Executive Options issued to David Radford will also be subject to escrow for the same escrow period.
-
7,987,199 Probiomics shares (in addition to those referred to in paragraph 3 immediately above, will be subject to escrow for a period commencing on 28 March, 2012 and ending on and including 27 March, 2013 ( Annexure C );
-
a pro-forma statement of the financial position of Probiomics as at 31 December, 2011 is set out in Annexure D , which takes into account, amongst other things:
-
(a) all subscription funds received in the course of the Public Offer; and
-
(b) all actual and estimated expenses incurred or to be incurred by Probiomics in connection with the Public Offer and the Takeover Bid;

-
a statement of commitment of Probiomics as at the Quotation Date is set out in Annexure E ; and
-
the capital structure of Probiomics as at the Quotation Date is set out in Annexure F .
Further, the Current Directors confirm that at all times, Probiomics has acted in accordance with ASX’s Listing Rules, and in particular the “continuous disclosure” requirements set out in Listing Rule 3.1.
Yours faithfully
