PART A: LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
22 November 2013
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
On 20 February 2013 we announced to the ASX a placement of shares raising $508,371 (Transaction Funding Placement) to fund the then proposed acquisition of Vitality Devices Pty Limited (VITALITY). On 23 May 2013, we announced of the termination of the proposed VITALITY transaction. Notwithstanding the termination, there remain certain commitments emanating from the Transaction Funding Placement.
An Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders is now convened on 23 December 2013 to seek shareholders’ approval to complete outstanding matters pertaining to the Transaction Funding Placement as well as the payment of outstanding fees to directors and the chief executive officer by way of shares in lieu of fees.
The Transaction Funding Placement raised $508,371 and the terms of the placement were 23,107,772 shares at $0.022 cents plus a 1 for 2 free attaching Option (exercisable at $0.04 cents expiry 31 March 2015) to professional and sophisticated investors. Of this total amount $277,200 was sub-underwritten by Phillip Asset Management ( PAM ) (subject to Shareholder approval of Resolution 1), and participated in by the Patrick Ford Superannuation Fund ( PFord Super ) which is a related party of Director Mr Patrick Ford (subject to Shareholder approval of Resolution 2). The issue of these shares and options to PAM and PFord Super and to all other shareholders who participated in the Transaction Funding Placement require your approval as shareholders of each of the resolutions detailed in the enclosed Notice of Meeting.
Bioxyne Limited has to honour its commitments to those shareholders who supported the Company in the Transaction Funding Placement. On behalf of the board, I urge shareholders to approve Resolutions 1 to 4, as the funds raised from the Transaction Funding Placement have been expended on the terminated VITALITY transaction.
Recommendation of Directors
Except where a Director has a personal interest in the outcome of a Resolution and hence declines to make any recommendation – as set out in Part C , Section 1 and Part D , Section 5 – each of the current Directors, being myself, Patrick Ford and Jeremy Curnock Cook;

1.1 Access to Funding
PAM and PFord Super have supported the Company by underwriting the Transaction Funding Placement. These funds have since been utilised to fund costs which were incurred in proceeding with the VITALITY transaction at the time. Given that the funds raised under the Transaction Funding Placement have been expended, the Company is not in a position to repay the monies raised and spent to PAM and PFord Super.
In addition it is noted that the Company is likely to require access to further funding through further equity issues and that unless the Resolutions are passed the Company:
-
cannot refresh it’s 15% equity issue cap or issue any shares for working capital without shareholder approval;
-
is unable to issue shares to PAM and PFord Super which means that future funding from these sources is unable to proceed upon.
1.2 Inability to Fund Future Operations
As at the date of this Document, Bioxyne’s activities have whilst resulting in revenue from the sale of its Probiotic product have not generated any significant profits that allow enough working capital for expansion or addition of further scope or products to the Bioxyne business.

PART F: EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Resolution 1 – Issue of Shares and Options to PAM under Transaction Funding Placement
Background to approval
Under the Transaction Funding Placement, completed 20 February 2013, PAM applied for 12,600,000 Shares, at an issue price of $0.022 per Share, and 6,300,000 attaching Options for no additional cash consideration, each exercisable into one Bioxyne Share at $0.04 per Option on or before 31 March 2015 (collectively, PAM Placement Securities ).
Listing Rule 7.1
Listing Rule 7.1 limits the ability of a listed entity to, in a 12 month period, issue or agree to issue equity securities in excess of 15% of the total number of ordinary securities on issue at the beginning of that 12 month period ( 15% Threshold ), unless the issue is approved by shareholders or otherwise comes within one of the exceptions to Listing Rule 7.1.
It is an exception to the requirement to obtain shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 where the approval of shareholders has been obtained for the purposes of section 611 (Item 7) of the Corporations Act (see Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 16).
Corporations Act, section 611 (Item 7)
Section 606 of the Corporations Act essentially restricts a person ( Acquirer ) acquiring a relevant interest in the voting power of a company that is greater than 20% ( 20% Restriction ).
One of the prescribed exemptions from the 20% Restriction is where members of the company approve the acquisition by the Acquirer of a relevant interest or a further relevant interest in the company, with the effect that, after the completion of the relevant transaction, the Acquirer will hold an aggregate relevant interest of more than 20% in the voting power of the target company.
As at the date of this Document, and taking into account the dilutionary impact of the Transaction Funding Placement, PAM already holds 19.23% (on an undiluted basis) of the total number of Shares. Upon passage of Resolution 1, PAM’s relevant interest in the Company will increase to 25.02% (on an undiluted basis). However, given that Resolution 1 is followed by other resolutions for the issue of shares, PAM’s relevant interest will immediately decrease from 25.02% to 24.81% (on an undiluted basis) upon the issue of Shares to PF Super as contemplated under Resolution 2.
Accordingly, the issue of the PAM Placement Securities to PAM under the Transaction Funding Placement will require the prior approval of Shareholders in accordance with section 611 (Item 7) of the Corporations Act and the associated ASIC Regulatory Guides.
Disclosure
In accordance with the notice requirements of section 611 (Item 7) of the Corporations Act, Shareholders are advised that:
-
(a) all PAM Transaction Funding Placement Securities will be acquired by PAM; and
-
(b) assuming Resolution 1 is approved in accordance with its terms, and prior to the approval of Resolution 2:
-
(i) the maximum extent by which the aggregate voting power of PAM (and each of its Associates) in the Company will increase as a result of the issue of the PAM Placement Securities, on an undiluted basis is 5.79% (from 19.23% to 25.02%); and
-
(ii) upon the issue of the PAM Transaction Funding Placement Securities, PAM (and each of its Associates) will have a total voting power in the Company of 25.02% (on an undiluted basis).
However, the relative level of PAM’s relevant interest in the Shares would:
-
(a) decrease (from 25.02% to 24.81%, on an undiluted basis), if the issue of Shares and Options to PF Super as contemplated under Resolution 2 is approved and those Shares and Option are issued pursuant to the terms of Resolution 2;
-
(b) further decrease (from 24.81% to 21.94%, on an undiluted basis), if the issue of the shares issued to Directors and Officer is approved (see Resolutions 5 to 8).
Bioxyne Limited – Notice of EGM

For further information in relation to the Transaction Funding Placement, see Part G of this Document. The material terms and conditions of issue of the Options proposed to be issued to PAM per Resolution 1 are summarised at Part H of this Document
Voting Exclusion Statement
In accordance with section 611 (Item 7) of the Corporations Act, the Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 1 by PAM and any of its Associates.
However, the Company will not disregard a vote cast on Resolution 1 if it is cast by:
-
a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on a Proxy Form; or
-
the Chair of the Meeting as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote on Resolution 1, in accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides.
Directors Recommendation
Each of Tony Ho and Patrick Ford recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
Jeremy Curnock Cook, a nominee of PAM on the Board, declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 1 due to his personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 1.
Resolution 2 – Issue of Shares and Options to Associate of Director under Transaction Funding Placement
Background to approval
Under the Transaction Funding Placement, completed 20 February 2013, P Ford Superannuation Pty Ltd ( PF Super ), an Associate of Patrick Ford, a current Director, subscribed for 1,500,000 Shares, at an issue price of $0.022 per Share, and 750,000 attaching Options for no additional cash consideration, each exercisable into one Bioxyne Share at $0.04 per Option on or before 31 March 2015 (collectively, PF Placement Securities ).
Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 states that an ASX-listed entity must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to any of the following persons without the approval of holders of ordinary securities:
-
a related party; or
-
a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained.
Patrick Ford, by virtue of being a director of the Company, is a related party of the Company.
If shareholder approval of a proposed issue is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11, further approval of that proposed issue is not required under Listing Rule 7.1 (see Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 14).
Therefore, by Shareholders approving Resolution 2, none of the PF Placement Securities, nor any of the Shares issued upon the exercise of the Options issued as part of the PF Placement Securities, will, upon their issue and allotment, be counted as a new issue for the purposes of determining whether or not the Company has exceeded the 15% Threshold.
Chapter 2E Corporations Act
Under the Corporations Act, the provision of any financial benefit to a related party requires shareholder approval in accordance with the procedure set out in Part 2E.1 of that Act, unless one of a number of exceptions applies. Part 2E.1 of the Corporations Act applies to the issuance of securities to a related party. A “related party” (as defined in the Act) includes the Directors of the Company. With respect to Resolution 2 relating to the issuance of Transaction Funding Placement Shares and free attaching options to PF Super , the related party of Director Mr Patrick Ford, are being issued on the same terms as other participants in the Transaction Funding Placement. Hence the Board is of the view that the Transaction Funding Placement Shares and free attaching options to be issued meet the "arm's length terms" criteria of Section 210 of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, the Board considers that the "arms length" exemption applies in these circumstances and shareholder approval is not being sought for the purpose of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

-
(g) the funds raised from PF Super’s application for the issue and allotment of the PF Placement Securities ($33,000) are being applied, and will continue to be applied, to fund the costs of the Company in implementing the VITALITY transactions and for general working capital purposes. Those funds, which were initially held in escrow pending Shareholder approval of the issue of the PF Placement Securities, were released to the Company as an advance of funds by PF Super.
For further information in relation to the Transaction Funding Placement, see Part G of this Document.
Voting Exclusion Statement

to Sophisticated Investors and Professional Investors (excluding PAM and PF Super), on the terms and conditions of the Transaction Funding Placement.
Listing Rule 7.4
As noted in connection with Resolution 1 in this Part F above, an ASX-listed company is not permitted to issue or agree to issue equity securities equal to more than the 15% Threshold, in a 12 month period, subject to certain permitted exceptions.
In calculating the 15% Threshold, the company is entitled to deduct any ordinary securities issued in the relevant 12 month period that are ratified under Listing Rule 7.4.
Under Listing Rule 7.4, an issue of securities made without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 will be treated as having been made with shareholder approval for the purposes of that Listing Rule, if the original issue did not breach the 15% Threshold and shareholders subsequently approve that issue.
The Company confirms that the issue of the TFP Placement Shares that are the subject of this Resolution 3, to Sophisticated Investors and Professional Investors (excluding PAM and PF Super) has not breached the 15% Threshold. By obtaining the approval of Shareholders under Resolution 3, those TFP Placement Shares will not be counted as a new issue for the purposes of determining whether or not the Company has exceeded the 15% Threshold.

Background to approval
Anthony (Tony) Ho, the Chairman of the Company, is entitled to receive fees in the amount of $60,000 per annum (plus superannuation) for his services as a Non-Executive Director and Chairman on the Board.

Following the termination of the VITALITY transaction Directors resolved to receive their fees 100% in equity until further notice starting from 1 June 2013. Hence for the period from 1 June 2013 through to 31 October 2013 Directors fees are to be discharged in equity (subject to shareholder approval) to conserve the Company’s cash resources.
The Company is seeking the approval of Shareholders to issue and allot to Mr Ho (or his nominee) of 7,653,500 Shares, in satisfaction of fees payable to Mr Ho for his services as Chairman for the period from 1 December 2012 to 31 October 2013 (both inclusive).

-
$10,000 in cash; and
-
$5,000 in Bioxyne Shares.
From 1 April 2013 the CEO agreed, and the Board resolved for CEO fees to be paid based on a time spent basis in order to conserve the Company’s cash balance, in addition to a reduced equity payment of $2,500 per month until further notice starting from 1 April 2013. For the avoidance of doubt the revised CEO remuneration was introduced to reduce the cash burden to the Company. As at 31 October 2013 the CEO has rendered no invoices for cash payment for time spent between 1 April 2013 and 31 October 2013 inclusive.
Shares issued or to be issued to Dr Comans on this basis are hereafter referred to as PC Remuneration Shares . The number of PC Remuneration Shares has been calculated based on an issue price agreed between the Company and Dr Comans of $0.006 per Share.
The Company is seeking the approval of Shareholders to the issue and allot to Dr Phillip Comans (or his nominee) of 6,250,000 Shares, in satisfaction of a portion of the fees payable to Dr Phillip Comans for his services as CEO for the period from 1 December 2012 to 31 October 2013 (both inclusive). That number of Shares has been calculated based on an issue price agreed between the Company and Dr Comans of $0.006 per Share.
Chapter 2E Corporations Act
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act requires shareholder approval where a public company seeks to give a “financial benefit” to a “related party”. Dr Comans is considered to be a related party within the meaning of the Corporations Act.

-
a. 52 week highest price: $0.03;

PART G: TRANSACTION FUNDING PLACEMENT (TFP)
On 20 February 2013, the Company raised a total of $508,371 by way of a placement of Shares and 1 for 2 free attaching Options to Professional Investors and Sophisticated Investors, to fund the costs of the Company in connection with the VITALITY transactions and for general working capital purposes.
The Shares under the Transaction Funding Placement were offered at an issue price of $0.022 per Share. The Options under the Transaction Funding Placement were offered to subscribers under the Transaction Funding Placement for no additional cash consideration.
The Options under the Transaction Funding Placement are each exercisable into one Bioxyne Share at $0.04 per Option and have an expiry date of 31 March 2015.
As stated in the Company’s announcement to the ASX dated 20 February 2013, PAM applied for the issue of $277,200 worth of Shares, and attaching Options, under the Transaction Funding Placement ( PAM Placement Securities ).
Those funds were initially held in escrow pending Shareholder approval of the issue of the PAM Placement Securities, but were subsequently released by PAM to the Company as an advance of funds to fund placement costs and working capital requirements. Upon the issue of the PAM Placement Securities following passage of Resolution 1, that advance will be deemed to be repaid and discharged by Bioxyne in full, and the subscription money for the PAM Placement Securities will be deemed to be paid in full by PAM.
The funds raised by the Company from PF Super’s application to subscribe for Shares and attaching Options under the Transaction Funding Placement ($33,000) ( PF Placement Securities ) were similarly released by PF Super to the Company as an advance of funds.
That advance will be deemed to be repaid and discharged by Bioxyne in full, and the subscription money for the PF Placement Securities will be deemed to be paid in full by PF Super, upon the passage of Resolution 2.
As a result of the subscription by each of PAM and PF Super under the Transaction Funding Placement, the relevant interest of PAM in the Company will increase from 19.23% to 24.81% (see disclosure in Part F in connection with Resolution 1 and Resolution 2).

PART H: TFP OPTION TERMS
Material Terms and Conditions of Bioxyne Options Issuable in Resolution 1, 2 and 4
1 Specific Terms
Subject to the passing of the relevant Resolution, the Options proposed to be issued pursuant to the Resolutions will be issued and allotted on the following material terms:
-
Entitlement
-
Each Option entitles the holder to be issued and allotted one Share upon exercise of that Option and payment to the Company of the exercise price.
-
Exercise price
The exercise price will be $0.04 per Option.
- Exercise period
Each Option will expire at midnight, Australian Eastern Standard Time, on 31 March 2015.
2 General Terms
Shares issued and allotted pursuant to the exercise of Options will rank equally in all respects with the then existing Shares, and will be subject to the provisions of the Constitution.
Subject to the following paragraphs, an Option does not confer upon the holder the right to participate in any new issues of securities by the Company without that holder having first exercised that Option in accordance with its terms. However, the Company will ensure that for the purpose of determining entitlements to any such issue, the Company will notify the holder of an Option of the details of the new issue by the relevant date for the particular issue as determined in accordance with the Listing Rules.
Adjustments to the number of Shares underlying each Option and/or the exercise price applicable to each Option ( Exercise Price ) will be made in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules to take account of changes to the capital structure of the Company as a result of pro-rata, bonus or cash issues.
The terms of the Options do not prevent the Options being reconstructed as required by the Listing Rules on a reconstruction of the Company’s issued capital. The rights of a holder of an Option may be altered to the extent necessary to comply with any Listing Rules that apply to a re-organisation of capital, at the time of that re-organisation.
In the event of any reconstruction of the Company’s issued capital, Options will be treated in the following manner:
-
in the event of a consolidation of Shares, the number of Options will be consolidated in the same ratio as the Shares and the Exercise Price will be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio;
-
in the event of a subdivision of Shares, the number of Options will be subdivided in the same ratio as the Shares and the Exercise Price will be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio;
-
in the event of a pro-rata cancellation of Shares, the number of Options will be reduced in the same ratio as the Shares and the Exercise Price will be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio; and
-
in the event of any other reconstruction of the issued capital of the Company, the number of Options or the Exercise Price or both will be reconstructed (as appropriate) in a manner which will not result in any benefits being conferred on the holders of the Options which are not conferred on Shareholders.
The Company will apply to the ASX for, and will use its best endeavours to obtain, Official Quotation of all Shares issued and allotted on the exercise of an Option, but gives no assurance or undertaking that such quotation will be granted or maintained.
If the Company is liquidated, all unexercised Options will lapse.
All other terms and conditions of the Options will be in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules.
