Dear Shareholder
Rights issue
Cyclopharm Ltd ABN 74 116 931 250 Bldg 75 Business & Technology Park New Illawarra Road Lucas Heights NSW 2234 Australia POB 350 Menai Central NSW 2234 T 61 2 9541 0411 F 61 2 9543 0960 www.cyclopharm.com.au
As you are aware, the Company is currently conducting a capital raising by way of a renounceable rights issue to raise approximately $2.1 million ( Rights Issue ).
The funds raised will go towards funding the operating costs of Cyclopet, support the legal proceedings Cyclopet has commenced against the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation and to fund the commencement of the Technegas clinical trial in the United States. While the market for products manufactured by Cyclopet has been encouraging in 2012, competition from government owned enterprises requires additional capital to support this venture.
The United States Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) clinical trial has commenced with the first installation in October this year. The FDA clinical trial costs are estimated to cost approximately US$4.0 million in total with expenditure of US$0.8 million expected within the next 12 months. The balance of the FDA clinical trial costs is expected to be funded through a subsequent capital raising next year.
The Rights Issue comprises a renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer to each Eligible Shareholder on the basis of 1 Share for every 4 Existing Shares held on the Record Date of 19 November 2012. The Offer Price is $0.18 per Share.
Eligible Shareholders will also be able to apply for shares in addition to their entitlement under a shortfall facility. This facility will also give holders of unmarketable parcels of shares the opportunity to acquire additional shares.
The Rights Issue is fully underwritten by CVC Managers Pty Limited ( Underwriter ) on customary market terms and conditions.
On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to enclose an Offer Booklet in relation to the Rights Issue and to thank you for your continued support of the Company.
Yours faithfully

Eligible Shareholders may also apply for Additional Shares (which are Shares that are not taken up by Eligible Shareholders) in excess of their Entitlement.
The allocation of Additional Shares will be limited to the number of Shortfall Shares (if any) and will be at the discretion of the Directors in consultation with the Underwriter. Shareholders who apply for Additional Shares may receive fewer Additional Shares than the number applied for or none at all.
