Entitlement Offer Results and Closing
Melbourne, Australia, 11 September, 2024: Genetic Technologies Limited (ASX: GTG; NASDAQ: GENE, “Company”, “GTG”), a global leader in genomics-based tests in health, wellness and serious disease, is pleased to announce that the Entitlement Offer closed on Monday, 9 September 2024 (Closing Dated), raising $324,648 from Eligible Shareholders.
The Company received applications from Eligible Shareholders for 8,116,205 shares at an issue price of $0.04 with one free attaching option, raising $324,648 (before costs). This includes applications from Eligible Shareholders for additional shares under the Top-Up Offer. This is a strong level of participation, considering that more than 70% of the Company’s shares are held by US based shareholders who are not eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer.
Accordingly, the total shortfall under the Entitlement Offer is 88,828,626 New Shares at an issue price of $0.04 with one free attaching option, which equates to a shortfall amount of up to $3,553,145. In addition to the pre-commitments of $500,000 from Directors and others, the Company has also received Shortfall Commitments after the close of the retail offer under the Entitlement Offer. To date, the total approximate value of the pre-commitments, shortfall commitments and the entitlement offer applications is approximately $1 million.
As noted in the Entitlement Offer Prospectus – all allotments under the Entitlement Offer are subject to raising the minimum of $2 million (including the Shortfall Commitments). Accordingly, the Company has extended the period under the Entitlement Offer Prospectus to receive Shortfall Commitments (as permitted under section 724 of the Corporations Act and the Entitlement Offer Prospectus) at a price not less than $0.04 per share together with one free attaching option.
No allotments will occur until the minimum of $2 million in applications is received; and the Company will provide a further update to the ASX market on the progress of the Shortfall Offer under the Entitlement Offer Prospectus.
The Company is now actively working with Brokers to place the shortfall with significant interest already received.
The Board thanks shareholders for their high participation rates and ongoing support.
The following table sets out a summary of the outcome of the Entitlement Offer:
| Description | Number NewShares | Number NewOptions |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum numbers of shares and attachingoptions under the Entitlement Offer | 96,944,831 | 96,944,831 |
