EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to assist shareholders with their consideration of the resolutions detailed in the Notice of General Meeting dated 16 March 2026. This Explanatory Statement should be read with, and forms part of, the accompanying Notice of General Meeting.
1. RESOLUTION 1 - APPROVAL TO ISSUE PLACEMENT SHARES TO ZYBT
1.1 Background to the Placement
As announced on 20 January 2026, the Company secured a firm commitment from Zheng Yang Biomedical Technology Co., Ltd. (ZYBT) to invest A$2.4 million through a placement of 4,363,637 new fully-paid ordinary shares at A$0.55 per share ( Placement ).
Sebastian Tseng, who is the Chairman of ZYBT, and also is a Director of the Company and is therefore considered a ‘related party’. Under the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), the Placement is subject to shareholder approval.
Issue of the Placement Shares is conditional on the Shareholder approval being sought, as set out in Resolution 1.
1.2 Use of funds
Funds raised via the Placement will be utilised to:
-
Initiate patient dosing in the pivotal Phase 3 clinical program for Elate Ocular® in the United States, Australia, and Taiwan
-
Complete manufacture of investigational drug product for Phase 3 trials
-
Provide working capital for the Company's ongoing operations
1.3 Indicative Capital Structure
The capital structure of the Company as at the date of this Notice of General Meeting, and assuming that the Placement Shares are issued, is as follows:
| Shares on issue | 22,968,281 |
|---|---|
| Placement Shares to be issued(subject of Resolution 1) | 4,363,637 |
| Total Shares on issue after issue of Placement Shares | 27,331,918 |
| Options over Shares (Options exercisable to ordinary Shares) | |
| (no Options to be issued under Resolution 1) | 623,629 |
1.4 Background to the proposed issue of Shares to ZYBT
Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of Placement Shares to ZYBT. Subject to Shareholder approval, the 4,363,637 Placement Shares will be issued to ZYBT at A$0.55 per share.
As at the date of this Notice of General Meeting Sebastian Tseng and ZYBT hold the following Shares:
| Investor | Shares held as at the date of this Notice of General Meeting |
% voting power |
|---|---|---|
| ZhengYangBiomedical TechnologyCo., Ltd | 6,462,498 | 28.1% |
| Sebastian Tseng | 454,093 | 2.0% |
| Total | 6,916,591 | 30.1% |
The Company has been informed that ZYBT is ultimately controlled by Sebastian Tseng as a controlling director and shareholder.
Unit 2.06/31 Lexington Drive, BELLA VISTA, NSW 2153 Ph: 1300 995 098 • www.cambium.bio • ABN 13 127 035 358
The Company further understands that due to this controlling relationship, Sebastian Tseng and ZYBT will therefore exercise their rights as shareholders of the Company collectively and are therefore “associates” of each other for the purposes of the Corporations Act.
Sebastian Tseng and ZYBT do not have any other associates which hold or will hold Shares.
Shareholders are urged to carefully read the Independent Expert’s Report to understand the scope of the report, the methodology of the valuation and the sources of information and assumptions made.
The Independent Expert’s Report is also available on the Company’s website https://www.cambium.bio/Investors-and-Media. If requested by a Shareholder, the Company will send a hard copy of the Independent Expert’s Report to the Shareholder at no cost.
1.5 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
Sebastian Tseng is a director of the Company and is therefore a ‘related party’ of the Company. Because ZYBT is ultimately controlled by Sebastian Tseng, it is also a ‘related party’ of the Company.
Pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, for a public company to give a financial benefit to a ‘ related party ’ of the public company, the public company must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s shareholders in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
Relevantly, section 210 provides that:
-
(a) where any benefit would be reasonable in the circumstances if the public company and the director/related party were dealing at ‘arm’s length’ and/or on commercial terms; or
-
(b) the terms are less favourable to the director/related party than the terms referred to in paragraph (a),
then shareholder approval is not required.
The issue of the Placement Shares to ZYBT constitutes giving a financial benefit to a ‘related party’ of the Company.
The Directors (other than Sebastian Tseng who has a material personal interest in the Resolution) consider that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the proposed issue of Placement Shares to ZYBT, because the Placement was negotiated on an ‘arm’s length’ basis, and the Placement Shares to ZYBT are to be issued at a 20% premium to the closing price of A$0.46 on 19 January 2026, the day prior to the Placement being announced. The issue price represents an 18% premium to the 15-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) to 19 January 2026.
The issue of Placement Shares to ZYBT therefore falls within the exception contained in section 210 of the Corporations Act.
1.6 ASX Listing Rule 10.11 approval is not required
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to 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, unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.
As set out above, ZYBT is a related party of the Company. As such, Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 is required unless an exception applies.
Exception 6 set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 provides an exception to Listing Rule 10.11 for an issue of securities that is approved for the purposes of section 611 (item 7) of the Corporations Act.
Unit 2.06/31 Lexington Drive, BELLA VISTA, NSW 2153 Ph: 1300 995 098 • www.cambium.bio • ABN 13 127 035 358
The purpose of Resolution 1 is to seek approval for the purposes of section 611 (item 7) of the Corporations Act and the Company will rely on Exception 6 set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 therefore a separate approval is not required under Listing Rule 10.11.
1.7 ASX Listing Rule 7.1 approval is not required
As set out above, broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue, or agree to issue, without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
Exception 8, set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 provides an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 where an issue of securities is approved for the purposes of section 611 (item 7) of the Corporations Act. The purpose of Resolution 1 is to seek approval for the purposes of section 611 (item 7) of the Corporations Act and therefore a separate approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.
If approval is given by shareholders to Resolution 1, the issue of Shares will not come out of the Company’s capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
1.8 Section 611 (item 7) of the Corporations Act
Section 606 of the Corporations Act prohibits a person acquiring a relevant interest in issued voting shares in a company if, as a result of the acquisition, that person or someone else’s voting power in the company increases from less than 20% to more than 20%, or from a starting point that is above 20% and below 90% ( Section 606 Prohibition ).
Voting Power
The voting power of a person in a body corporate is determined under section 610 of the Corporations Act. The calculation of a person’s voting power in a company involves determining the voting shares in the company in which the person and the person’s associates have a relevant interest.
Associates
For the purposes of determining voting power under the Corporations Act, a person ( second person ) is an “associate” of the other person ( first person ) if:
-
(i) (pursuant to section 12(2) of the Corporations Act) the first person is a body corporate and the second person is:
-
(A) a body corporate the first-person controls;
-
(B) a body corporate that controls the first person; or
-
(C) a body corporate that is controlled by an entity that controls the person’
-
(ii) the second person has entered or proposes to enter into a relevant agreement with the first person for the purpose of controlling or influencing the composition of the company’s board or the conduct of the company’s affairs; or
-
(iii) the second person is a person with whom the first person is acting or proposes to act, in concert in relation to the company’s affairs.
Associates are, therefore, determined as a matter of fact. For example, where a person controls or influences the board or the conduct of a company’s business affairs or acts in concert with a person in relation to the entity’s business affairs.
Relevant interest
Section 608(1) of the Corporations Act states that a person has a relevant interest in securities if they:
-
(a) are the holder of the securities;
-
(b) have power to exercise, or control the exercise of, a right to vote attached to securities; or
Unit 2.06/31 Lexington Drive, BELLA VISTA, NSW 2153 Ph: 1300 995 098 • www.cambium.bio • ABN 13 127 035 358
- (c) have power to dispose of, or control the exercise of power to dispose of, the securities.
It does not matter how remote the relevant interest is or how it arises. If two or more people can jointly exercise one of these powers, each of them is taken to have that power.
In addition, section 608(3) of the Corporations Act provides that a person has a relevant interest in securities that any of the following has:
-
(a) a body corporate in which the person’s voting power is above 20%;
-
(b) a body corporate that the person controls.
There are various exceptions to the Section 606 Prohibition, including under section 611 (item 7) of the Corporations Act.
Section 611 (item 7) of the Corporations Act provides an exception to the Section 606 Prohibition, in circumstances where the shareholders of the company approve an acquisition of a relevant interest in the company at a meeting at which no votes are cast by the acquirer of the relevant interest and the person from whom the acquisition is to be made, including their respective associates.
1.9 Reason section 611 (item 7) approval is required
As a result of the proposed issue of Placement Shares to ZYBT, ZYBT and Sebastian Tseng will each hold Shares in the Company as set out below:
| Investor | Shares held as at the date of this Notice of General Meeting |
Proposed number of Placement Shares to be issued |
Shares held if Placement Shares are issued |
% voting power if the Placement Shares are issued |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zheng Yang Biomedical Technology Co., Ltd |
6,462,498 | 4,363,637 | 10,826,135 | 39.6% |
| Sebastian Tseng | 454,093 | 0 | 454,093 | 1.7% |
| Total | 6,916,591 | 4,363,637 | 11,280,228 | 41.3% |
Sebastian Tseng is a non-executive director of the Company having been appointed on 11 April 2024.
ZYBT is ultimately controlled by Sebastian Tseng as a controlling director and shareholder.
The Corporations Act defines “control”, and “relevant agreement” very broadly as follows:
-
(a) Under section 50AA of the Corporations Act control means the capacity to determine the outcome of decisions about the financial and operating policies of the Company.
-
(b) Under section 9 of the Corporations Act, a relevant agreement includes an agreement, arrangement or understanding whether written or oral, formal or informal and whether or not having legal or equitable force.
Because Sebastian Tseng and ZYBT are associates they will each have a relevant interest in the Shares held by the other.
As at the date of this Notice of General Meeting, Sebastian Tseng and ZYBT both have a relevant interest in 6,916,591 Shares in the Company, representing voting power in the Company of 30.1%.
If Shareholder approval is given to the issue of the Placement Shares to ZYBT, then upon the issue of the Placement Shares, Sebastian Tseng and ZYBT will each have a relevant interest in 11,280,228 Shares in aggregate, which will therefore represent 41.3% of the voting power in the Company.
Unit 2.06/31 Lexington Drive, BELLA VISTA, NSW 2153 Ph: 1300 995 098 • www.cambium.bio • ABN 13 127 035 358
This increase in voting power from a point that is above 20% and below 90% would breach the Section 606 Prohibition. However, the increase is permitted if prior Shareholder approval is granted for the issue of the Placement Shares to ZYBT in accordance with Resolution 1.
For this reason, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the purposes of section 611 (item 7) of the Corporations Act to permit the Company to issue the Placement Shares to ZYBT.
Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 16), ASX Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of securities approved for the purpose of section 611 (item 7) of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, if Shareholders approve the issue of securities pursuant to Resolution 1, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
1.10 Specific information required by Section 611 (item 7) of the Corporations Act and ASIC Regulatory Guide 74

No associates of ZYBT and Sebastian Tseng currently have or will have a relevant interest in the Company and there is no present intention to issue any Shares or other securities to any associate of ZYBT and Sebastian Tseng.
(e) Maximum extent of increase in the voting power in the Company
If Shareholder approval is given to the issue of the Placement Shares to ZYBT, then upon the issue of the Placement Shares, Sebastian Tseng and ZYBT will each have a relevant interest in 11,280,228 Shares in aggregate, which will therefore represent 41.3% of the voting power in the Company.
(f) Relevant interest and Voting Power

The funds will also be used to complete manufacturing of investigational drug product for Phase 3 trials, with a portion applied to working capital for the Company’s ongoing operations.

-
(c) the Independent Expert has concluded that the issue of Shares to ZYBT is fair and reasonable to non-associated Shareholders.
1.12

The Directors (other than Sebastian Tseng) are of the view that the following non-exhaustive list of disadvantages may be relevant to a Shareholder’s decision as to how to vote on Resolution 1:
-
(a) the proposed issue of Placement Shares to ZYBT will increase the aggregate voting power of Sebastian Tseng and ZYBT from 30.1% to up to 41.3% reducing the voting power of Shareholders not associated with them to 58.7%; and
-
(b) following completion of the issue of Placement Shares to ZYBT, Sebastian Tseng and ZYBT will hold a relevant interest in 41.3% of the Shares in the Company – this will give Sebastian Tseng and ZYBT significant influence in relation to the Company, including the ability to block proposed special resolutions of the Company and significant influence on the election of directors.

The Independent Expert’s Report (a copy of which is attached as Annexure A to this Explanatory Statement) includes an independent examination of the proposed issue of the Placement Shares to ZYBT, to assist non-associated Shareholders to assess the merits of, and decide whether to approve, the proposed issue of Shares.
The Independent Expert’s Report comments on the fairness and reasonableness of the proposed issue of Placement Shares to ZYBT. The opinion of the Independent Expert is that the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable.
The Independent Expert notes certain key advantages and disadvantages of the proposal raised in Resolution 1 to the Company and to Shareholders not associated with Sebastian Tseng and ZYBT. Those advantages and disadvantages are set out in Section 9 of the Independent Expert’s Report.
Shareholders should carefully consider the full Independent Expert’s Report prepared by the Independent Expert for the purposes of the Shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 1 to understand the scope of the report, the methodology of the valuation and the sources of information and assumptions made.
Shareholders should read the Independent Expert’s Report in its entirety before deciding how to vote on Resolution 1.
1.14 Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 1 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Shares to ZYBT.
If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Placement Shares, as the issue of the Shares is subject to Shareholder approval, and the Company will not be able to complete the Placement.
1.15 Recommendation of the Directors
The Directors, other than Sebastian Tseng, do not have any material interest in the issue of the Placement Shares to ZYBT, other than as a result of any interests arising solely in the capacity as Shareholder.
Unit 2.06/31 Lexington Drive, BELLA VISTA, NSW 2153 Ph: 1300 995 098 • www.cambium.bio • ABN 13 127 035 358
The Directors of the Company (with Sebastian Tseng abstaining) believe that Resolution 1 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.
The Directors’ recommendations are based on the reasons outlined in section 1.11 above. Sebastian Tseng has a material personal interest in Resolution 1, and so he makes no recommendation in relation to this Resolution 1.
The Directors are not aware of any other information, other than as set out in this Explanatory Statement and the accompanying Independent Expert’s Report that would reasonably be required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision as to whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass this Resolution 1.
Where the Chair is appointed as a proxy, the Chair will vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.
If you appoint the Chair as your proxy, and you check the box consenting to the Chair voting undirected proxies, then unless you include an express voting direction on your Proxy Form, you will be directing, and expressly consenting to the Chair voting in favour of Resolution 1.
2. RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE UP TO AUD$10,000,000 WORTH OF SHARES
2.1 BACKGROUND
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1 (and for all other purposes) for the issue of that number of Shares determined by AUD$10,000,000 divided by the proposed share issue price ( Proposed Shares ), ( Proposed Share Issue ).
The Proposed Share Issue price will not be less than 75% of the five (5) Trading Day VWAP of the Shares recorded prior to the announcement of the Proposed Share Issue ( Proposed Share Issue Price ).
The Company received shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting held on 16 October 2025 to proceed with the issuance of AUD 10,000,000 worth of shares within three months of receiving that approval. However, due to various factors, the issuance was delayed and the Company did not issue the securities within the required timeframe. The Company is therefore seeking shareholder approval again.
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12month period.
The issue of the Proposed Shares in Resolution 2 does not fall within Listing Rule 7.1 or any of the exceptions.
If Resolution 2 is passed, the issue of the Proposed Shares can proceed without using any of the Company's 15% Placement Capacity.
If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Proposed Shares and would have to rely on the 15% Placement Capacity, to have any Proposed Shares or alternate funding options to raise additional funding for its business operations.
2.2
Specific information required under Listing Rule 7.3
The following information in relation to Resolution 2 is provided to Shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3:
- the Directors intend that the Proposed Shares will be issued to institutional, professional and sophisticated investors who are not related parties of the Company. The Company has not determined who will be issued any Proposed Shares and this will be determined by the Company and its lead manager (if any) assisting with the Proposed Share Issue;
Unit 2.06/31 Lexington Drive, BELLA VISTA, NSW 2153 Ph: 1300 995 098 • www.cambium.bio • ABN 13 127 035 358
-
the maximum number of Proposed Shares to be issued is up to that number of Shares which, when multiplied by the Proposed Share Issue Price, equals AUD$10,000,000;
-
the table below provides examples of the maximum number of Shares that may be issued if Shareholders approve this Resolution. The table uses various issue prices to calculate the maximum number of Proposed Shares that may be issued assuming AUD$10,000,000 is raised by the Company (rounded down to the nearest whole number):
| Proposed Share Issue Price ($ per Share) |
Number of Proposed Shares |
|---|---|
| $1.00 | 10,000,000 |
| $0.78 | 12,820,513 |
| $0.58 | 17,241,379 |
| $0.47 | 21,276,596 |
| $0.195 | 51,282,051 |
| $0.10 | 100,000,000 |
-
all Proposed Shares will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company and will rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue;
-
the Proposed Shares will be issued no later than three months following the date of the Meeting – it is intended that the issue of the Proposed Shares may occur progressively;
-
the issue price per Proposed Share will be calculated using the five (5) Trading Day VWAP before the date of issue – for the purposes of the below examples, it has been assumed that the issue price of the Proposed Shares will not be less than 75% of the five (5) Trading Day VWAP.
Example 1 : Using the current Share price of $0.585 at the time of preparing the Notice as being equivalent to the five (5) Trading Day VWAP for illustration purposes, the issue price will not be less than 75% of $0.585, which is $0.44. Accordingly, the total number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to Shareholder approval for this Resolution would be approximately 22,792,023 Shares.
Example 2 : If the five (5) Trading Day VWAP is decreased by 50% which is equal to $0.2925, the issue price will not be less than 75% of $0.2925, which is $0.219. Accordingly, the total number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to Shareholder approval for this Resolution would be approximately 45,584,046 Shares.
Example 3 : If the five (5) Trading Day VWAP is increased by 50% which is equal to $1.17, the issue price will not be less than 75% of $1.17, which is $0.8775. Accordingly, the total number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to Shareholder approval for this Resolution would be approximately 11,396,011 Shares.
The table below sets out the potential dilutionary effects of an issue of Proposed Shares based on the examples above:
| Example 1 | Total number of Proposed Shares issued |
Total number of Shares on issue after issue of Proposed Shares |
Dilution Factor* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Example 1 | 22,792,023 | 45,760,304 | 49.81% |
| Example 2 | 45,584,046 | 68,552,327 | 66.50% |
| Example 3 | 11,396,011 | 34,364,292 | 33.16% |
Unit 2.06/31 Lexington Drive, BELLA VISTA, NSW 2153 Ph: 1300 995 098 • www.cambium.bio • ABN 13 127 035 358
*The dilution factor does not take into account the impact of any exercise of convertible Securities.
The Company requires additional capital to fund its pivotal Phase 3 clinical program, which will enrol approximately 800 patients across multiple clinical sites in Australia and the United States, representing a significant scale-up from earlier stage trials. The proceeds from the Proposed Share will support critical program expenditures, including Contract Research Organisation (CRO) fees for trial management and execution, Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) compliant drug substance and product manufacturing on a commercial scale, and regulatory submission preparations necessary for this registration-enabling study. These additional funds will provide the Company with financial flexibility to execute this value-inflecting Phase 3 program without delays.
A voting exclusion statement applies to Resolution 2.
Where the Chair is appointed as a proxy, the Chair will vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.
If you appoint the Chair as your proxy, and you check the box consenting to the Chair voting undirected proxies, then unless you include an express voting direction on your Proxy Form, you will be directing, and expressly consenting to the Chair voting in favour of Resolution 2.

-
2.5 When the Transaction is approved and completed, ZYBT will be entitled to a total relevant interest of 41.3% of CMB’s issued ordinary shares.
-
2.6 CMB’s existing Non-Associated shareholders interest following completion of the Transaction will decrease from 69.9% to 58.7%.

3 PURPOSE OF REPORT
-
3.1 The purpose of this report is to advise the Non-Associated Shareholders of CMB of the fairness and reasonableness of the Transaction.
-
3.2 This report provides an opinion on whether or not the terms and conditions in relation to the Transaction are fair and reasonable to the CMB shareholders whose votes are not to be disregarded in respect of the transaction (that is, the Non-Associated Shareholders).
-
3.3 The ultimate decision whether to accept the terms of the Transaction should be based on each shareholders’ assessment of their own circumstances, including their risk profile, liquidity preference, tax position and expectations as to value and future market conditions. If in doubt about the Transaction or matters dealt with in this report, shareholders should seek independent professional advice.
-
3.4 This report has been prepared to satisfy the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (“Corporations Act”).
Corporations Act Requirements
-
3.5 Approval of the Transaction will result in ZYBT increasing its equity in the Company from 30.1% to 41.3%. ZYBT is controlled by Sebastian Tseng who is a Director of the Company and is therefore considered a related party.
-
3.6 Section 606(1) of the Corporations Act states that a person must not acquire a relevant interest in issued voting shares in a listed company if that person’s or any other person’s voting power increases to above 20%, or increases from a starting point that is above 20% and below 90%. Section 606(1) therefore prohibits ZYBT from acquiring a relevant interest in the issued ordinary shares in CMB under the Transaction, unless one of the exemptions under Item 7 of Section 611 of the Corporations Act applies.
-
3.7 The exceptions set out in Item 7 of Section 611 of the Corporations Act include an acquisition that is approved by a resolution of shareholders of CMB passed at a general meeting as per Section 611. This is the exception which CMB is seeking to rely on to be able to issue the Placement Shares. At the general meeting of CMB no votes will be allowed to be cast by ZYBT or their associates.
-
3.8 Australian Securities and Investments Commission (“ASIC”) Regulatory Guide 111 “Content of Experts Reports” requires, amongst other things, that directors of a company need to provide shareholders with an analysis of whether a proposed transaction is fair and reasonable, when considered in the context of the interests of the non-associated shareholders. Regulatory Guide 111 recommends that this analysis should include an independent expert’s report. The independent expert is required to state whether, in their opinion, the transaction is fair and reasonable having regard to the interests of nonassociated shareholders and state the reasons for forming that opinion. This report provides such an opinion.

4. OPINION
-
4.1 In our opinion, the proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable to the Non-Associated Shareholders of CMB.
-
4.2 Our opinion is based solely on information available as at the date of this report.
-
4.3 The principal factors that we have considered in forming our opinion are summarised below.
Fair
-
4.4 For the Transaction to be fair, the value of the shares held by Non-Associated Shareholders must increase as a result of the Transaction.
-
4.4.1 Based on the analysis contained in Section 8 of this report, the indicative value of the CMB shares for the purpose of this report is:
-
between $0.460 and $0.480 per share, with a midpoint of $0.470 per share on a minority interest basis; and
-
between $0.506 and $0.528, with a midpoint value of $0.517 per share on a controlling interest basis, pre-Transaction.
-
4.4.2 In order to assess whether the Transaction is fair, we need to compare the pre-Transaction value per CMB share on a controlling interest basis with the post-Transaction value per share. This is shown in the table below:
==> picture [432 x 116] intentionally omitted <==

Control valuation, pre-Transaction (‘000) 11,622 12,127 11,875
Subscription Amount (‘000) 2,400 2,400 2,400
Post-Transaction Value (‘000) 14,022 14,527 14,275
Post-Transaction shares on issue (‘000) 27,332 27,332 27,332
Post-Transaction Valuation per share ($) 0.513 0.532 0.522
----- End of picture text -----
1 The Company currently has 623,629 options on issue with a weighted average exercise price of $3.56. We have assessed that a valuation undertaken on a fully-diluted basis would not have a negative impact on our valuation and fairness assessment.
-
4.4.3 In our opinion the Transaction is fair as:
-
a) The Placement Price of $0.55 is greater than the market value of the CMB shares immediately prior to the announcement of the Transaction;
-
b) The value of the CMB shares held by Non-Associated Shareholders after the Transaction is greater than the pre-Transaction value on a controlling interest basis.
6
Reasonable
-
4.5 ASIC Regulatory Guide 111 states that a transaction is reasonable if:
-
The Transaction is fair; or
-
Despite not being fair the expert believes that there are sufficient reasons for security holders to accept the offer in the absence of any higher bid before the close of the offer.
-
4.5.1 We have concluded that the Transaction is reasonable. In forming our opinion we have considered the following relevant factors:
-
The Transaction will provide an opportunity for CMB to increase shareholder value and put the Company in a better financial position given it provides CMB with capital required to advance its pivotal Phase 3 program. The issue of Placement Shares to ZYBT would provide the Company with additional funds of $2.4m to initiate patient dosing in the pivotal Phase 3 clinical program for Elate Ocular® in the United States, Australia and Taiwan. The funds will also be used to complete manufacturing of investigational drug product for Phase 3 trials, with a portion applied to working capital for the Company’s ongoing operations.
-
The Placement Price of $0.55 per share represents a 20% premium to the Company’s closing share price of $0.46 on 19 January 2026, the day prior to the announcement of the Transaction. This premium reflects ZYBT’s strong conviction in the clinical and commercial potential of Elate Ocular[®] for the treatment of dry eye disease, and its confidence in CMB’s ability to successfully execute the pivotal Phase 3 program.
-
ZYBT has been a long-standing partner of CMB since 2014, when the parties entered into a joint development agreement for products incorporating fibrinogen-depleted human platelet lysate (FD hPL). ZYBT currently holds worldwide manufacturing rights for the Active Biologic Ingredient (ABI) and commercialisation rights for Elate Ocular[® ] in China, Singapore and Taiwan. This additional investment further strengthens the strategic alignment between the parties.
-
If the Transaction is not approved and the Placement does not proceed, there is a risk of CMB facing liquidity and solvency issues as the Company does not currently have any alternative equity financing sources to progress its product development.
-
The CMB Board are of the opinion that the Transaction is in the best interests of the Company's Shareholders.
-
4.6 Accordingly, in our opinion, the Transaction is fair and reasonable to the Non-Associated Shareholders of CMB.
7
5 BASIS OF EVALUATION
-
5.1 In our assessment of whether the Transaction is fair and reasonable to CMB NonAssociated Shareholders, we have given due consideration to the Regulatory Guides issued by the ASIC, in particular, Regulatory Guide 74 “Acquisitions Agreed to by Shareholders”, Regulatory Guide 111 “Content of Experts Reports” and Regulatory Guide 112 “Independence of Experts Reports”.
-
5.2 ASIC Regulatory Guide 74 requires, amongst other things, that shareholders are provided with sufficient information to make an effective, informed decision on whether the proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable. Under takeover provisions of Regulatory Guide 111, a transaction is “fair” if the value of shares held by Non-Associated shareholders increases as a result of the transaction. Additionally, under Regulatory Guide 111 an offer is “reasonable” if it is fair. It is possible for an offer to be reasonable despite being unfair, if after considering other non-financial factors the shareholders should still accept the offer.
-
5.3 Our report has compared the likely advantages and disadvantages to Non-Associated Shareholders if the Transaction is agreed to, with the advantages and disadvantages to those shareholders if it is not. Comparing the consideration to be paid and the value of the shares being issued is only one element of this assessment.
-
5.4 Additionally we have considered whether any shareholder will obtain a level of control in CMB as a result of the proposed transaction. In the event that a change in control arises from the proposed transaction, proportionately greater benefits to non-associated shareholders must be demonstrated. In this case ZYBT will increase its level of control in CMB which needs to be considered in comparing the value received by Non-Associated Shareholders in comparison to the value being provided.
-
5.5 Normal valuation practice is to determine the fair market value of an asset assuming a counter party transaction between a willing and not anxious buyer and a willing but not anxious seller, clearly at arm’s length. We have adopted this approach in determining the market value of CMB shares.
-
5.6 In evaluating the Transaction, we have considered the value of the CMB shares being issued and compared this to the value of consideration to be provided by ZYBT. We consider that the Transaction will be fair and reasonable if, on balance, the value of the Non-Associated Shareholders interest in CMB increases as a result of the Transaction and they will be better off if the Transaction is approved.
-
5.7 In our assessment of the Transaction we have considered, in particular the following:
-
The operational and financial position of CMB;
-
The value of CMB shares;
-
The Placement Price;
-
Any control premium associated with the Transaction; and
-
The advantages and disadvantages associated with approving the Transaction.
-
5.8 The documents and information relied on for the purpose of this valuation are set out in Appendix I. We have considered and relied upon this information and believe that the information provided is reliable, complete and not misleading and we have no reason to
8
believe that material facts have been withheld. The information provided was evaluated through analysis, enquiry and review for the purpose of forming an opinion as to whether the Transaction is fair and reasonable. However, in assignments such as this, time is limited and we do not warrant that our enquiries have identified or verified all of the matters which an audit or more extensive examination might disclose. None of these additional tasks have been undertaken.
-
5.9 We understand the accounting and other financial information that was provided to us has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and in accordance with Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards.
-
5.10 An important part of the information used in forming an opinion of the kind expressed in this report is the opinions and judgement of management. This type of information has also been evaluated through analysis, enquiry and review to the extent practical. However, it must be recognised that such information is not always capable of external verification or validation.
-
5.11 HCC are not the auditors of CMB. We have analysed and reviewed information provided by the Directors of CMB and made further enquiries where appropriate.
-
5.12 This report has been prepared after taking into consideration the current economic and market climate. We take no responsibility for events occurring after the date of this report which may impact upon this report or which may impact upon the assumptions referred to in the report.

6. OVERVIEW OF CMB
6.1 Business Overview
-
6.1.1 CMB is a clinical-stage regenerative medicine company, focusing on developing biologics for ophthalmology and tissue repair applications.
-
6.1.2 On 5 April 2024, CMB completed the merger with Cambium Medical Technologies, LLC. (“CMT”) The merger strengthened their position in the regenerative medicine field, combining complementary technologies and expertise.
-
6.1.3 CMB remains committed to advancing its pipeline through clinical development and commercialisation, with the ultimate goal of providing transformative treatments to improve patient outcomes across multiple indications.
-
6.1.4 The Company’s lead product candidate is Elate Ocular for the treatment of dry eye disease (“DED”). The Company also develops Progenza, a stem cell platform for knee osteoarthritis and other tissue repair indications; and Sygenus, for wound healing indications.
-
6.1.5 CMB’s strategy is to deliver a high-quality, registration-enabling Phase 3 program for Elate Ocular® in DED, then unlock value through partnering or strategic alternatives once dosing is underway. This approach is informed by the benefits of FDA (Food and Drug Administration) Fast Track designation (more frequent agency interaction, priority/accelerated pathways and rolling review eligibility) granted to Elate Ocular® in December 2024, which validates the program’s potential to address a significant unmet need in DED.
-
6.1.6 During the 2025 financial year the Company converted this strategy into milestones. The U.S. FDA approved the Phase 3 clinical protocol in February 2025, confirming their Multiregional Clinical Trials (“MRCT”) design, co-primary endpoints and scale of enrolment, and placing Elate Ocular® on a clearly defined registration path.
-
6.1.7 Building on this, in March 2025, the FDA agreed CMB’s potency-assay strategy is suitable for lot release through to Biologics Licence Application (“BLA”) and for incorporation into their comparability protocol. This resolved one of the final Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (“CMC”) topics before Phase 3 initiation. CMB has secured ethics approvals to commence Phase 3 trials in both Australia (Bellberry HREC, 26 June 2025) and the United States (Advarra IRB, 9 May 2025), with first-patient dosing anticipated in Q2 CY 2026.
-
6.1.8 On 11 July 2025, the FDA confirmed that CMB had satisfied all remaining CMC comparability requirements, formally clearing the Company to begin patient dosing. With these gates passed, CMB are focused on operational readiness—site start-up in Australia and the U.S., and awarding the Contract Research Organizations (“CRO”) contract in Q3 CY2025—to ensure rapid activation once financing is complete.

- 6.3.2 The majority of cash outflows incurred to-date have been directed to research and development (“R&D”), reflecting the focus on Phase 3 readiness. R&D activities in FY2025 continued to focus on CMC readiness, Good Manufacturing Product (“GMP”) drug-product manufacture and Phase 3 start-up for Elate Ocular®. Consistent with CMB’s accounting policy and applicable standards, all research and development costs are expensed as incurred. We are advised that since its founding, CMT and subsequently CMB have collectively invested an estimated $25m in the development of Elate Ocular®, the Company’s lead asset. The Directors do not however consider the Company can demonstrate all requirements to capitalise development expenditure. R&D expenditure for FY2025 was $2.76 million (FY2024: $0.21 million).

6.3.4 Financial assets represent the fair market value of shares held by CMT in Cambium Oncology LLC (“CO”). CMT invested in CO in 2018. CMT is a minor shareholder of CO and the Company directors do not have control over CO. CO completed a capital raise on 31 December 2024 and raised $3.5m cash and $0.75m in the form of an in-kind contribution. The value of CMT’s shares held in CO at US$4.25 per share is worth US$246.5k. The carrying value of this investment at 30 June 2025 is based on this arm’slength capital raise.
13
-
6.3.5 Intangible assets relates to the Company’s acquisition of CMT in April 2024. The acquisition from an accounting perspective has been treated as a share-based payment under AASB 2: Share-based payment recorded as intangible asset, rather than a business combination under AASB 3: Business combinations. CMT contained no substantive processes, and the value was substantially derived from the licences held. There were no firm contracts with either suppliers or customers in place on the acquisition date of 5 April 2024.
-
6.3.6 Financial liabilities comprises loans in CMT with Georgia Research Alliance (GRA). CMT entered into a Senior Note Purchase Agreement with GRA in April 2021. A total of US$250,000 promissory notes were purchased by GRA. Unpaid interest on the loan is capitalised. In addition, upon the closing of the merger CMT cancelled its existing Warrant Resolution Agreement with GRA, in exchange for which a new subordinated promissory note was issued to GRA for $37,500 which matured in April 2025, however remains outstanding at 30 June 2025. The interest rate on the loans is 5%. The first note with a principal amount of US$152,000 will mature on 7 April 2026 and the second note with a principal amount of US$98,000 will mature on 7 August 2026. The loans from GRA are unsecured.
-
6.3.7 Following the 2025 financial year-end, CMB completed a fully-subscribed $2.17 million placement at $0.4637 per share to strengthen the balance sheet, with the Board also noting the FY2025 R&D Tax Incentive refund of A$0.584 million was received in December 2025.

7. VALUATION METHODOLOGIES
7.1 Selection of Methodology
-
7.1.1 In order to assess the fairness of the Transaction a value needs to be attributed to CMB shares.
-
7.1.2 In assessing the value of CMB we have considered a range of valuation methods. ASIC Regulatory Guide 111 Content of Expert Reports states that in valuing a company the expert should consider the following commonly used valuation methodologies:
-
Market Value of Shares: the quoted price for listed securities in a liquid and active market;
-
Capitalisation of Future Maintainable Earnings: the value of trading operations based on the capitalisation of future maintainable earnings;
-
Realisation of Assets: the amount that would be available for distribution to security holders on an orderly realisation of assets;
-
Discounted Cash Flow: the net present value of future cash flows;
-
Comparable Market Transactions: the identification of comparable sale transactions.
We consider each of these valuation methodologies below.
7.1.3 Market Value of Shares as Quoted on the ASX
This method involves the valuation of an entity based on its actively traded equities, which represent the market capitalisation of the share capital of the entity, in a liquid and knowledgeable market.
Any assessment of the market value of the quoted equities needs to consider the following:
-
The liquidity of the quoted equity based on the volume and frequency of trading;
-
The number of ‘unusual’ and/or ‘abnormal’ trades that occur; and
-
The timing and level of dissemination of information to the market.
If a quoted ordinary equity is traded in an active, liquid and knowledgeable market, then the market price of the quoted ordinary equity should represent the ‘fair’ market value of the quoted ordinary equity.
A premium may also need to be applied to the value of the quoted ordinary equity to determine the value of the equity holding in circumstances where a party is acquiring or increasing a controlling equity position.
We consider that adopting a market value of shares methodology to determine an indicative value of CMB is appropriate as it reflects all publicly available information on the company and therefore we believe it is a reliable reflection of the current value of CMB shares.
7.1.4 Capitalisation of Future Maintainable Earnings
Under the earnings-based valuation method, the value of the asset is determined by capitalising the estimated future maintainable earnings of the asset at an appropriate
15
capitalisation rate or a multiplier of earnings. The multiple is a coefficient, representing the risk that the asset may not achieve projected earnings.
This method is appropriate in valuing an asset when there is a history of earnings, the asset is established, and it is assumed the earnings are sufficiently stable to be indicative of ongoing earnings potential.
Given that the Company is still in its R&D phase and trading at a loss to-date, we have determined that an earnings based methodology is not appropriate for the valuation of CMB shares.
7.1.5 Realisation of Assets
The asset approach to value is based on the assumption that the value of all assets (tangible and intangible) less the value of all liabilities should equal the value of the entity.
This approach is generally not appropriate where assets are employed productively and are earning more than the cost of capital.
As at 30 June 2025, the Company had a net asset value of $1.8m. As CMB is a revenuebased business, the book value of net assets are not representative of the inherent value of the business and accordingly this method is not appropriate.
7.1.6 Discounted Cash Flow – Net Present Value
Discounted cash flow valuations involve calculating the value of a business on the basis of the net cash flows that will be earned from the business over its life. The cash flows are discounted to reflect the risk involved with achieving the forecast cash flows.
The use of the discounted cash flow method has not been used as we do not believe there is a reasonable basis for preparing and verifying forecasts for the CMB business given its stage of business. We have concluded that the price determined from the market traded shares is more appropriate.
7.1.7 Comparable Market Transactions
This methodology involves the identification of comparable sale transactions and trading multiples for a similar business or asset to that being valued.
We have determined that this method is not considered appropriate for valuing CMB due to the following:
-
i. Lack of comparable transactions: Most businesses comparable to CMB vary in terms of type and stage of product development, commercialisation and business operations;
-
ii. Lack of historical or current earnings in CMB as a basis for applying a multiple of earnings;
We are also not aware of any alternative offers or transactions for the acquisition of the shares in CMB other than what would be reflected in the analysis of the market value of shares as traded on the ASX.
16
7.2 Premium for Control
-
7.2.1 When considering transactions involving a substantial equity holding of a company, it is appropriate to address whether a premium for control should attach to the transaction. A premium for control is the difference between the price for each share that a buyer would be prepared to pay to obtain a controlling interest in a company and the price per share that would be required to purchase a share that does not carry with it a controlling interest. In most cases, the value of a controlling interest in the shares in a company significantly exceeds the market value of the shares. This reflects the fact that:
-
a) the owner of a controlling interest in the shares in a company obtains access to all free cash flows of the company being acquired, which it would otherwise be unable to do as a minority shareholder;
-
b) the controlling shareholder can direct the disposal of surplus assets and the redeployment of the proceeds;
-
c) a controlling shareholder can control the appointment of directors, management policy and the strategic direction of the company;
-
d) the entity taking over the company is often able to increase the value of the entity being acquired through synergies and/or rationalisation savings.
-
7.2.2 Our experience suggests that the premium for control (over and above the market price of the Company’s shares) ranges, on average, between 10% and 35%. However, the appropriate premium for control depends on the specific circumstances and, in particular, the level of synergy benefits able to be extracted by potential acquirers and the degree of confidence about the level and achievability of potential synergies and their timing.
-
7.2.3 The premium for control paid in takeovers is observable but caution must be exercised in assessing the value of a company or business based on the market rating of comparable companies or businesses. The control premium is an outcome of the valuation process, not a determinant of value. Premiums are paid for reasons that vary from case to case and may be substantial due to synergy or other benefits available to the acquirer. In other situations premiums may be minimal or even zero. It is inappropriate to apply an average premium without having regard to the circumstances of each case. In some situations there is no premium. There are transactions where no corporate buyer is prepared to pay a price in excess of the prices paid by institutional investors.
-
7.2.4 A shareholder or group of associated shareholders are deemed to influence a company when they have control of more than 20% of the issued shares in a company. At this time a premium for control should normally be considered.
-
7.2.5 When the Transaction is approved and completed, ZYBT will be entitled to an interest of up to 41.3% of CMB’s issued ordinary shares.
-
7.2.6 We have determined that the change in the level of ownership is sufficient to consider a premium for control. We have assessed that a premium for control of 10% is appropriate for the purpose of this report. Market studies suggest that overall, median takeover premia in Australia have broadly been in the range of 10-35% in excess of the four week pre-bid share prices. We have chosen to apply a control premium at the lower end of this range considering the following:
17
-
a) CMB has incurred losses in prior years of operation and is currently in a negative tangible net asset position. This would impact on the amount the market would be prepared to pay as a premium for obtaining control of the Company;
-
b) ZYBT currently holds a significant interest in CMB shares and the Transaction only increases this interest from 30.1% to 41.3%. The Transaction will not increase the equity interest held by ZYBT to the point they have full control of CMB. NonAssociated Shareholders will still hold a controlling 58.7% interest in CMB and will retain an opportunity to obtain a premium on any subsequent increase in control by ZYBT or alternatively a sell-down to a third party; and
-
c) No free cash flows or obvious synergies are available to be extracted by ZYBT increasing its level of control of CMB.
18
8. VALUE OF CMB
8.1 General
-
8.1.1 This section sets out our assessment of the underlying value of CMB shares.
-
8.1.2 We have selected market value of shares as the valuation methodology for CMB as detailed in section 7. Given the R&D stage of the business, the lack of earnings and negative net tangible asset position, a secondary valuation methodology was not deemed appropriate for the purpose of this report.
8.2 Market Value of Shares
-
8.2.1 In our opinion the value of CMB for the purpose of the Transaction should be examined on the basis of the current market value of its shares listed on the ASX. The market value of the shares listed on the ASX reflects all publicly available information on the company and therefore we believe it is a reliable reflection of the current value of the Company.
-
8.2.2 Following is a graph of the trading of CMB shares over the last twelve months:

- 8.2.3 The table below sets out the movement of CMB share price and trading volumes up to and including 19 January 2026, immediately prior to the announcement of the Transaction:
==> picture [305 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
Low $ High $ VWAP (1) Volume
1 month 0.460 0.480 0.468 32,746
2 months 0.450 0.530 0.485 85,636
3 months 0.450 0.585 0.493 151,076
6 months 0.260 0.585 0.446 958,728
12 months 0.190 0.640 0.408 2,256,275
----- End of picture text -----
- (1) The VWAP was calculated using the total value of all transactions divided by the total trading volume in the time period considered.

-
8.2.4 Although the liquidity of the trading in CMB shares is low, with only 10% of shares traded in the last twelve months, we believe the valuation of CMB shares for the purpose of this report should reflect all publicly available information on the company and therefore be a reliable reflection of its current value.
-
8.2.5 We therefore conclude that the value of the CMB shares under the market value approach for the purpose of this report is between $0.46 and $0.48 per share, with a midpoint of $0.47 per share. We note this valuation is on a portfolio basis and does not reflect a premium for control. This equates to a midpoint market capitalisation of $10.8m.
-
8.2.6 We therefore have determined the value of the CMB shares for the purpose of this report is between $0.506 and $0.528, with a midpoint value of $0.517 , on a controlling interest basis.

9. ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES OF THE TRANSACTION
9.1 Approach to assessing Fairness and Reasonableness
HCC has followed the guidelines of ASIC Regulatory Guide 111 in assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Transaction. In forming its conclusions in this report, HCC compared the advantages and disadvantages for Non-Associated Shareholders if the Transaction proceeds.
9.2 Advantages of the Transaction
-
9.2.1 The Transaction will provide an opportunity for CMB to increase shareholder value and put the Company in a better financial position given it provides CMB with capital required to advance its pivotal Phase 3 program. The issue of Placement Shares to ZYBT would provide the Company with additional funds of $2.4m to initiate patient dosing in the pivotal Phase 3 clinical program for Elate Ocular® in the United States, Australia and Taiwan. The funds will also be used to complete manufacturing of investigational drug product for Phase 3 trials, with a portion applied to working capital for the Company’s ongoing operations.
-
9.2.2 The Placement Price of $0.55 per share represents a 20% premium to the Company’s closing share price of $0.46 on 19 January 2026, the day prior to the announcement of the Transaction. This premium reflects ZYBT’s strong conviction in the clinical and commercial potential of Elate Ocular[®] for the treatment of dry eye disease, and its confidence in CMB’s ability to successfully execute the pivotal Phase 3 program.
-
9.2.3 ZYBT has been a long-standing partner of CMB since 2014, when the parties entered into a joint development agreement for products incorporating fibrinogen-depleted human platelet lysate (FD hPL). ZYBT currently holds worldwide manufacturing rights for the Active Biologic Ingredient (ABI) and commercialisation rights for Elate Ocular[® ] in China, Singapore and Taiwan. This additional investment further strengthens the strategic alignment between the parties.
-
9.2.4 If the Transaction is not approved and the Placement does not proceed, there is a risk of CMB facing liquidity and solvency issues as the Company does not currently have any alternative equity financing sources to progress its product development.
9.3 Disadvantages of the Transaction
-
9.3.1 The Transaction will result in the dilution of Non-Associated Shareholders ownership interest from 69.9% to 58.7%.
-
9.3.2 Following completion of the Transaction, ZYBT and Sebastian Tseng will increase their relevant interest to 41.3% of the Shares in the Company. This gives Sebastian Tseng and ZYBT increased influence over decision making in the Company.
21
10. CONCLUSION AS TO FAIRNESS AND REASONABLENESS
10.1 Fairness
-
10.1.1 For the Transaction to be fair, the value of the shares held by Non-Associated Shareholders must increase as a result of the Transaction.
-
10.1.2 Based on the analysis contained in Section 8 of this report, the indicative value of the CMB shares for the purpose of this report is:
-
between $0.460 and $0.480 per share, with a midpoint of $0.470 per share on a minority interest basis; and
-
between $0.506 and $0.528, with a midpoint value of $0.517 per share on a controlling interest basis, pre-Transaction.
-
10.1.3 ZYBT is being issued with 4,363,637 shares at $0.55 per share for consideration totalling $2,400,000.
-
10.1.4 In order to assess whether the Transaction is fair, we need to compare the pre-Transaction value per CMB share on a controlling interest basis with the post-Transaction value per share. This is shown in the table below:
==> picture [432 x 116] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
Value and Opinion Low High Midpoint
Control value per share ($) 0.506 0.528 0.517
Shares on issue (‘000) [1 ] 22,968 22,968 22,968
Control valuation, pre-Transaction (‘000) 11,622 12,127 11,875
Subscription Amount (‘000) 2,400 2,400 2,400
Post-Transaction Value (‘000) 14,022 14,527 14,275
Post-Transaction shares on issue (‘000) 27,332 27,332 27,332
Post-Transaction Valuation per share ($) 0.513 0.532 0.522
----- End of picture text -----
1 The Company currently has 623,629 options on issue with a weighted average exercise price of $3.56. We have assessed that a valuation undertaken on a fully-diluted basis would not have a negative impact on our valuation and fairness assessment.
-
10.1.5 In our opinion the Transaction is fair as:
-
a) The Placement Price of $0.55 is greater than the market value of the CMB shares immediately prior to the announcement of the Transaction;
-
b) The value of the CMB shares held by Non-Associated Shareholders after the Transaction is greater than the pre-Transaction value on a controlling interest basis.
22
10.2 Reasonableness
-
10.2.1 ASIC Regulatory Guide 111 states that a transaction is reasonable if:
-
The Transaction is fair; or
-
Despite not being fair the expert believes that there are sufficient reasons for security holders to accept the offer in the absence of any higher bid before the close of the offer.
-
10.2.2 We have concluded that the Transaction is reasonable. In forming our opinion we have considered the following relevant factors.
-
The Transaction will provide an opportunity for CMB to increase shareholder value and put the Company in a better financial position given it provides CMB with capital required to advance its pivotal Phase 3 program. The issue of Placement Shares to ZYBT would provide the Company with additional funds of $2.4m to initiate patient dosing in the pivotal Phase 3 clinical program for Elate Ocular® in the United States, Australia and Taiwan. The funds will also be used to complete manufacturing of investigational drug product for Phase 3 trials, with a portion applied to working capital for the Company’s ongoing operations.
-
The Placement Price of $0.55 per share represents a 20% premium to the Company’s closing share price of $0.46 on 19 January 2026, the day prior to the announcement of the Transaction. This premium reflects ZYBT’s strong conviction in the clinical and commercial potential of Elate Ocular[®] for the treatment of dry eye disease, and its confidence in CMB’s ability to successfully execute the pivotal Phase 3 program.
-
ZYBT has been a long-standing partner of CMB since 2014, when the parties entered into a joint development agreement for products incorporating fibrinogen-depleted human platelet lysate (FD hPL). ZYBT currently holds worldwide manufacturing rights for the Active Biologic Ingredient (ABI) and commercialisation rights for Elate Ocular[® ] in China, Singapore and Taiwan. This additional investment further strengthens the strategic alignment between the parties.
-
If the Transaction is not approved and the Placement does not proceed, there is a risk of CMB facing liquidity and solvency issues as the Company does not currently have any alternative equity financing sources to progress its product development.
-
The CMB Board are of the opinion that the Transaction is in the best interests of the Company's Shareholders.
-
10.2.3 Accordingly, in our opinion, having considered the advantages of the Transaction and the alternatives of not proceeding with the Transaction, in our opinion the Non-Associated Shareholders of CMB should benefit if the Transaction proceeds and therefore, in our opinion, the Transaction is reasonable .
Yours faithfully
