Highlights:

  • Company has subscriptions for a total of $1 million (before costs) in $1 convertible notes

  • The Company has received the subscription funds

  • Funds will be used to provide working capital and extend cash runway

  • Update to terms of convertible notes

Further to its announcement of 13 February 2023, genetic medicine and exosome-based drug-delivery company Exopharm Limited (ASX:EX1) is pleased to advise that it has completed the Convertible Note (CN) subscription and issue process and that the CN subscription was over subscribed, with the amount extended to $1 million.

The Convertible Notes have been issued today to professional, sophisticated and other exempt investors who are not related parties of the Company under Convertible Note Subscription Agreements, with the main terms being:

  • Subscribers must be exempt investors and not a person to whom listing rule 10.11 may apply;

  • Notes cannot be transferred or sold except where the purchaser falls under the Corporations Act 2001 sections 708 or 708A exemptions;

  • Conversion price applicable to converting the CN to EX1 shares is $0.008 (0.8 cents);

  • Conversion is subject to the Company obtaining all necessary legal, regulatory and shareholder approvals;

  • Subject to obtaining the above approvals:

  • The notes may be converted by the holder between 1 May 2023 and the day 3 months before the maturity date (9 December 2023);

  • The notes will automatically convert upon at the completion of the anticipated Rights Issue announced to ASX on 13 February 2023;

  • The maturity date of the notes is 9 March 2024 (the first anniversary of the issue date). Notes which have not been converted or redeemed will be redeemed on earlier of the maturity date or the sale of the Company’s main undertaking or major asset;

The above is provided as a summary of key points. Attached as Appendix A is a copy of the CN Subscription Agreement which contains the full terms of the notes.

Dr Ian Dixon, CEO & Managing Director of Exopharm said “This additional funding extends the cash runway and will allow us to continue on the pathway to realise financial value from our exosomes assets with further reductions in operating costs.”

Alto Capital (ACNS Markets Pty Ltd) and Canary Capital Pty Ltd acted as joint lead managers of the note issue and have been engaged to act as joint lead managers of the anticipated Rights Issue.

The Company will arrange to hold general meetings seeking shareholder approval to permit the notes to be converted. Currently a meeting is anticipated to be held at about the end of April 2023. The Company anticipates holding further meetings to seek further approvals to maintain the ability for the notes to convert.

Further announcements will be made regarding seeking shareholder approvals (including releasing copies of the applicable notice(s) of meeting(s)) and the anticipated Rights Issue (including a timetable and copies of the offer materials).

An Appendix 3G and convertible note cleansing notice be released in conjunction with this announcement.
