About Tryptamine Therapeutics Limited
Tryp Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing proprietary, novel formulations for the administration of psilocin in combination with psychotherapy to treat diseases with unmet medical needs. Tryp’s lead program, TRP-8803, is a proprietary formulation of IV-infused psilocin (the active metabolite of psilocybin) with potential to alleviate numerous shortcomings of oral psilocybin including: significantly reducing the time to onset of the psychedelic state, controlling the depth and duration of the psychedelic experience, and reducing the overall duration of the intervention to a commercially feasible timeframe. The Company has completed a Phase 2a clinical trial for the treatment of binge eating disorder at the University of Florida, which demonstrated an average reduction in binge eating episodes of greater than 80%.
The Company also has also just completed a Phase 2a clinical trial for the treatment of fibromyalgia in collaboration with the University of Michigan and has initiated a Phase 2a clinical trial in collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital for the treatment of abdominal pain and visceral tenderness in patients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome. Each of the studies is utilising TRP-8802 (synthetic, oral psilocybin) to demonstrate clinical benefit in these indications. Where a positive clinical response is demonstrated, subsequent studies are expected to utilise TRP-8803 (IV-infused psilocin), that has the potential to further improve efficacy, safety, and patient experience. TRP-8803 is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1 Healthy Volunteer Study in Adelaide, Australia.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Resolution 8 – ASX Listing Rule 7.1A Approval of Future Issue of Securities
Background
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 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to add an additional 10% capacity.
An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation less than the amount prescribed by ASX (currently $300 million).
Tryptamine Therapeutics Limited | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement
20
As of the close of trading on 25 September 2024, the Company has a market capitalisation of approximately $22.778 million and therefore is an eligible entity. If at the time of the Meeting the Company is no longer an eligible entity this Resolution will be withdrawn.
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of a special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval.
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue equity securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A
The following information is provided to Shareholder for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3A.
Period for which the approval will be valid
An approval under this Listing Rule 7.1A commences on the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the first to occur of the following:
-
(a) the date which is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained;
-
(b) the time and date of the entity’s next annual general meeting; and
-
(c) the time and date on which Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
Minimum price at which the equity securities may be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A
Any equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be an existing quoted class of the Company’s equity securities and issued for cash consideration.
The issue price per equity security must not be less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price of the equity securities in that class, calculated over 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(a) the date on which the price at the equity securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the equity securities; and
-
(b) if the equity securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (a), the date on which the equity securities are issued.
Purposes for which the funds raised by an issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A may be used
As noted above, any equity securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 must be issued for cash consideration. Accordingly, every issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 will have an accompanying proposed use of funds at the time of issue.
As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not formed an intention to offer any equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, if Shareholders approve this Resolution. However, if Shareholders approved this Resolution and the Company did raise funds from the issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, based on the Company’s existing plans, the Company considers that the funds may be used for the following purposes:
-
(a) to research, develop and commercialise the Company’s existing and future products;
-
(b) to acquire assets including acquisition (full or part) of equity holdings in Share Purchase
Tryptamine Therapeutics Limited | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory 21 Statement
Acquisitions, to supplement and expand the Company’s existing and future products, which are permitted under the ASX Listing Rules without requiring share approval; and
- (c) for general corporate purposes, including working capital requirements.
Risk of economic and voting dilution to existing ordinary Securityholders
If this Resolution is approved, and the Company issues equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, the existing Shareholders’ economic and voting power in the Company will be diluted.
There is a risk that:
-
(a) the market price for the Company’s equity securities in that class may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under Listing Rule 7.1A; and
-
(b) the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount (as described above) to the market price for the Company’s equity securities on the issue date;
which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.
The table below shows the potential dilution of existing Securityholders on the basis of 3 different assumed issue prices and values for the variable “A” in the formula in rule 7.1A.2:
| Variable “A” ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 “A” is the number of shares on issue,(a) being 10% voting dilution(c) |

(d) the Company’s financial position and the likely future capital requirements; and

Based on the Company’s historical cashflow reports and capital raising activities in the past 12 months, the Company considers that it may raise funds during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, although this cannot be guaranteed.
As of the date of this Notice, no specific intention to issue equity securities in relation to any parties, investors or existing Securityholders have been formed. In addition, no intentions have been formed in relation to the possible number of issues, or the time frame in which the issues could be made.

If and when the determination is made to proceed with an issue of equity securities during the Listing Rule 7.1A mandate period, details regarding the allottees and purposes of issue will be disclosed pursuant to the Company’s obligations under Listing Rules 3.10.3 and 7.1A.4.
Offers made under Listing Rule 7.1A may be made to parties (excluding any related parties) including professional and sophisticated investors, existing Shareholders of the Company, clients of Australian Financial Service Licence holders and/or their nominees, or any other person to whom the Company is able to make an offer of equity securities.

Listing Rule 10.11
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, the Company, as a listed company, must not issue equity securities to persons in a position of influence without Shareholder approval.
A person in a position of influence for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11 includes:
-
(a) a related party;
-
(b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue of agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the Company;
-
(c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the Company and who has nominated a director to the board of the Company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

-
(e) a person whose relationship with the Company or a person referred to in (a) to (d) above is
Tryptamine Therapeutics Limited | Annual General Meeting – Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement
24
such that, in the ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by Shareholders.
As Mr Davies, Mr Carroll, Mr Ntoumenopoulos , Mr Barlow, Mr Jull and Mr Molloy are current Directors of the Company, they are each in a position of influence for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11. The proposed issue does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12, and therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
To this end, this Resolutions seeks the required Shareholder approval to issue the Director Options to Mr Davies, Mr Carroll, Mr Ntoumenopoulos, Mr Barlow, Mr Jull and Mr Molloy under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.
If approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.11, in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 14), separate approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.
If this Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the proposed issue to the Directors as outlined in the Notice.
If this Resolution is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed issue and may have to consider other less cash-effective forms of compensation to remunerate the Directors for their services.
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

The definition of “related party” also includes a person whom there is reasonable grounds to believe will become a “related party” of a public company.
As each of the Directors of Company is a “related party” of the Company, the proposed issue of Director Options to Mr Davies, Mr Carroll, Mr Ntoumenopoulos, Mr Barlow, Mr Jull and Mr Molloy requires Shareholder approval under both Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11.
