ASX Announcement

17 April 2009

Polartechnics and Fermiscan propose merger to create Australia’s largest women’s health diagnostics business

Polartechnics Limited (Polartechnics, ASX:PLT) and Fermiscan Holdings Limited (Fermiscan, ASX:FER) today announced that they have agreed to a proposed merger.

The boards of both companies have agreed to take advantage of the unique opportunity to create a merger to commercialise the companies’ combined diagnostic screening tests for the detection of breast cancer, cervical cancer and sexually transmitted diseases for women world-wide.

Transaction terms

The merger will be effected by Polartechnics making an off-market takeover offer (the ‘Offer’) for all the issued ordinary shares in Fermiscan. Polartechnics has also agreed to make individual offers to holders of Fermiscan options if certain conditions are met.

Under the Offer, Polartechnics will offer three of its ordinary shares for every two Fermiscan ordinary shares. The individual offers to be made to holders of Fermiscan options will be on corresponding terms.

The Offer will be subject to a number of conditions, including the requirement that Polartechnics acquires a relevant interest in at least 90% of Fermiscan’s ordinary shares on issue by the end of the Offer period. A full list of the conditions of the Offer are attached – Attachment 1.

Polartechnics and Fermiscan have agreed to co-operate on an exclusive basis (see Attachment 2) in relation to the implementation of the Offer and have entered into an Implementation Agreement.

Fermiscan Directors intend to recommend that Fermiscan shareholders accept the Offer

The Directors of Fermiscan intend to unanimously recommend that Fermiscan shareholders accept the Offer, subject to their appointed Independent Expert concluding that the Offer is both fair and reasonable and in the absence of a superior proposal.

The Directors of Fermiscan have obtained independent advice in relation to their responsibilities for governance, tax, audit, finance and legal due diligence which has formed the basis of this recommendation.

==> picture [569 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

The Fermiscan Directors and their associates intend to accept the Offer in respect of their own shares and options in the absence of a superior proposal and subject to the Independent Expert concluding that the Offer is both fair and reasonable.

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

Polartechnics has also entered into a pre-bid acceptance agreement with Rellcain Pty Limited (ACN 077 711 605) under which it has agreed to accept the Offer with respect to that part of the Fermiscan shares held by it representing approximately 19.9% of Fermiscan’s issued capital. Rellcain’s obligation under the agreement to accept the Offer is subject to Polartechnics having acquired a relevant interest in 50.1% of Fermiscan’s issued shares, including the shares that are the subject of the pre-bid acceptance agreement.

Commentary

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

Polartechnics and Fermiscan together are both specialist women’s health diagnostic companies that develop, manufacture and market world leading diagnostic products for the detection of breast cancer, cervical cancer and sexually transmitted diseases.

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

The two businesses are highly complementary. Polartechnics has international distribution agreements for the delivery of leading screening technology for the realtime detection of cervical cancer and other gynaecological diseases. Fermiscan is commercialising an innovative non-invasive diagnostic test for the detection of breast cancer with international patents and distribution opportunities.

==> picture [569 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

Both businesses are focused on improving outcomes for women’s health and the merger provides significant synergistic benefits as the businesses concentrate on the international commercialisation of their respective diagnostic tests.

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

The merged group will benefit from combined sales and supply channel opportunities which have been developed in Australia and overseas.

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

Polartechnics Chairman, Mr Robert Hunter, said “this positive development will position the merged group as Australia’s largest women’s health diagnostic business, which will market its women’s health screening products on a global scale.”

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

Fermiscan Chairman, Mr Gary Garton said “This is an exciting opportunity for a single Australian company to be at the forefront of early detection technologies in two of the most common diseases afflicting women across the world – breast and cervical cancers - together with sexually transmitted diseases.”

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

The merger would result in significant and immediate cost savings. Upon merger, Fermiscan will re-locate to Polartechnics’ head office and manufacturing facility in Erskineville.

About Polartechnics

==> picture [569 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

Established 21 years ago, Polartechnics has developed proprietary screening devices specialising in the detection of gynaecological cancers and disease - TruScreen and CerviScreen.

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

Polartechnics’ prime focus is TruScreen, a real-time point of care device for screening cervical cancer, and the newly developed self-sampling product, CerviScreen, that allows women to access primary screening for sexually transmitted diseases and Human Papilloma Virus without undergoing pelvic examinations.

About Fermiscan

==> picture [569 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

Fermiscan’s principal activity is the commercialisation of an innovative non-invasive diagnostic test for the detection of breast cancer.

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

The Fermiscan Breast Cancer Test is based on the discovery by an Australian scientist that a change can be detected in the molecular structure of hair from women with breast cancer and this change can be identified by using diffraction of X-rays generated in a synchrotron.

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

Fermiscan is developing opportunities to licence and sell the Fermiscan Test internationally, particularly in Australia, Europe, Japan, South East Asia, and the United States.

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

Fermiscan has recently granted an exclusive option agreement to licence the Fermiscan Test to Hitachi Chemical in Japan and Korea.

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

Fermiscan owns and operates the Sydney Breast Clinic, one of the largest diagnostic breast clinics in Australia that for more than 30 years has been caring for over 10,000 women annually.

==> picture [569 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

With successful clinical trails concluded, commercialisation of the Fermiscan Test is progressing to plan in 2009.

Exclusivity

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

Fermiscan and Polartechnics have entered into a confidentiality and exclusivity agreement, which provides that:

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

Subject to the provisions detailed below, during the exclusivity period (detailed below), Fermiscan and Polartechnics must not, and must use their best endeavours to ensure that their respective representatives do not, except with the prior consent of the other party:

==> picture [569 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

  • (1) solicit, initiate or invite any enquiries, discussions or proposals in relation to, or which may reasonably be expected to lead to, a third party proposal for that party;

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

  • (2) participate in any discussions or negotiations in relation to, or which may reasonably be expected to lead to, a third party proposal for that party; or

==> picture [569 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

  • (3) communicate to any person an intention to do any of the things referred to in subclauses (1) or (2).

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

Notification of approaches

==> picture [569 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

Subject to the remainder of this clause, during the exclusivity period, each party must notify the other party of:

==> picture [569 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

  • (1) any approach, inquiry or proposal made to, and any attempt or any intention on the part of any person to initiate or continue any negotiations or discussions with, Fermiscan or Polartechnics or any of their respective Representatives with respect to, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, any third party proposal, whether unsolicited or otherwise;

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

  • (2) any request for information relating to Fermiscan or Polartechnics or any of their businesses or operations or any request for access to the books or records of Fermiscan or Polartechnics, which Fermiscan or Polartechnics (as applicable) has reasonable grounds to suspect may relate to a current or future third party proposal;

==> picture [569 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

  • (3) any breach of this clause; and

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

  • (4) any provision by Fermiscan or Polartechnics or any of their respective Representatives of any information relating to Fermiscan or Polartechnics (as applicable) or any of their businesses or operations to any person in connection with or for the purposes of a current or future third party proposal by providing in writing to the other party details of the expression of interest, offer or proposal or proposed third party proposal made by the person making the approach and details of any material discussions between such person and Fermiscan or Polartechnics (as applicable) (or their respective representatives).

==> picture [569 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

A notice given under this clause must be accompanied by all relevant details of the relevant event, including the identity of the person or persons taking any action referred to in paragraphs (1) or (2) above, and the terms and conditions of any third party proposal or any proposed third party proposal (to the extent known).

Normal provision of information

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

Nothing in the exclusivity provisions prevent a party or its representatives from:

==> picture [569 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

  • (1) providing information to its representatives;

==> picture [569 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

  • (2) providing information required to be provided by law, a court or any authority; or

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

  • (3) making presentations to brokers, portfolio investors and analysts in the ordinary and usual course of business.

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

Fiduciary carve-out

==> picture [569 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [569 x 4] intentionally omitted <==

The exclusivity provisions do not require Fermiscan or Polartechnics or any of their respective directors to do or refrain from doing any thing with respect to a bona fide third party proposal (which was not solicited by the party in breach of the exclusivity provisions), provided that the Fermiscan Board or Polartechnics Board (as applicable) has determined in good faith and acting reasonably after consultation with its financial advisers and receiving written legal advice by external legal advisers, that failing to respond to such third party proposal would likely constitute a breach of the directors’ fiduciary or statutory obligations.
