Dear Shareholder
PRO- RATA ENTITLEMENT OFFER
Cyclopharm Limited ( Company ) recently announced a capital raising comprising a fully underwritten 1 for 3.2 renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer ( Rights Issue ) to raise up to approximately A$2.1 million before costs.
The net proceeds of the capital raising will go towards funding the operating costs of Cyclopet and to fund a Technegas clinical trial in the United States. While the market for products manufactured by Cyclopet is growing, in the first year of operations the market has not reached our initial expectations. The lagging market combined with competition from government owned enterprises requires additional capital to support this new venture.
The commencement of the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clinical trial is expected to commence December this year. The total FDA clinical trial costs are estimated to cost approximately US$4.0 million over the next 30 months. Following commencement, the balance of the FDA clinical trial costs is expected to be funded by the operations.
Details of the Rights Issue
Under the Rights Issue the Company will issue up to 52,566,443 shares at A$0.04 per share.
Underwriting
The Rights Issue is fully underwritten by CVC Managers Pty Limited ( Underwriter ).
Entitlement trading
The Rights Issue is renounceable, which means that entitlements can be sold or otherwise transferred.
To sell your entitlements in part or in full please contact your broker. If you do not have a broker, and hold your shares on the Issuer Sponsored Subregister, you may sell your entitlements by completing a standard renunciation and transfer form together with the transferee, and forwarding that completed form, together with the completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form and payment for any rights that the transferee wishes to take up, to the Company's share registry so that they are received by no later than 5.00pm Sydney time Friday 2 December 2011.
Eligible Shareholders
The Rights Issue will be offered to all holders of shares with a registered address in Australia and New Zealand at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on 14 November 2011 ( Record Date ) ( Eligible Shareholders ).
The Company has determined that it is unreasonable to make offers to Shareholders other than Eligible Shareholders having regard to the number of Shareholders outside of Australia and New Zealand, the number and value of the shares that would be offered and the cost of complying with legal and regulatory requirements outside of those countries. Accordingly, Shareholders with a registered address in countries other than Australia and New Zealand will not be eligible to participate in the Rights Issue.
