ASX Announcement

28 November 2023

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES Retail Entitlement Offer opens and Retail Offer Booklet now available

On Monday 20 November 2023, Healius Limited (ASX:HLS) ( Healius ) announced that it was conducting a fully underwritten[1] 1 for 3.65 pro-rata accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer of new fully paid ordinary shares in Healius ( New Shares ) to raise approximately A$187 million ( Offer ).

The retail component of the Offer ( Retail Entitlement Offer ) opens today Tuesday, 28 November 2023. The Retail Entitlement Offer is expected to close at 5:00pm (Sydney time) on Thursday, 7 December 2023 (unless extended).

Attached is a copy of the Retail Offer Booklet which will be made available to eligible retail shareholders today, together with a personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. A copy of each document can be accessed online at www.computersharecas.com.au/healius.

Also attached is a copy of a letter that is being sent to eligible retail shareholders notifying them of the Retail Entitlement Offer and how to participate.

The Retail Offer Booklet and the Entitlement and Acceptance Form contain important information about the Retail Entitlement Offer including how eligible retail shareholders in Australia and New Zealand can apply to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer. Eligible retail shareholders should read both in their entirety, as well as any announcements released by Healius, before making any investment decision.

Trading

ASX has confirmed that, as a result of the off-market takeover bid ( Takeover Offer ) from Australian Clinical Labs Limited ( ACL ), the New Shares for the Offer will be issued under a separate ticker, expected to be “HLSNB”. The New Shares will trade separately from the main class of Healius fully paid ordinary shares (unless the Takeover Offer lapses or ACL obtains relief from ASIC to extend the Takeover Offer to the New Shares). When the Takeover Offer ends, or if ACL obtains relief from ASIC to extend the Takeover Offer to the New Shares, ASX will fold the New Shares into the main class of Healius fully paid ordinary shares. The Takeover Offer is currently scheduled to end on Thursday, 29 February 2024.

1 Refer to “Shortfall” on slide 24 of the investor presentation released by Healius to ASX on Monday, 20 November 2023 for a description of the terms and conditions of the underwriting arrangements, including the handling of any excess shortfall shares.

You acknowledge and agree that determination of eligibility of investors for the purposes of the Offer is determined by reference to a number of matters, including legal and regulatory requirements, logistical and share registry constraints and the discretion of Healius and the Underwriter. To the maximum extent permitted by law and except to the extent caused by its fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct (or that of its employees, officers, agents or contractors), each of Healius and the Underwriter and their respective Beneficiaries exclude and expressly disclaim any duty or liability in respect of that determination and the exercise or otherwise of that discretion.

In connection with the Offer, one or more investors may elect to acquire an economic interest in the New Shares ( Economic Interest ), instead of subscribing for or acquiring the legal or beneficial interest in those shares. The Underwriter or its affiliates may, for their own respective accounts, write derivative transactions with those investors relating to the New Shares to provide the Economic Interest, or otherwise acquire shares in Healius in connection with the writing of those derivative transactions in the Offer and/or the secondary market. As a result of those transactions, the Underwriter (or its affiliates) may be allocated, subscribe for or acquire New Shares or shares of Healius in the Offer and/or the secondary market, including to hedge those derivative transactions, as well as hold long or short positions in those shares. These transactions may, together with other shares in Healius acquired by the Underwriter (or its affiliates) in connection with their ordinary course sales and trading, principal investing and other activities, result in the Underwriter (or its affiliates) disclosing a substantial holding and earning fee.

The Underwriter (and/or its affiliates) may also receive and retain other fees, profits and financial benefits in each of the above capacities and in connection with the above activities, including in its capacity as Underwriter.

RISKS

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR

Tuesday, 28 November 2023

Dear Shareholder

On behalf of the Board of Healius Limited ( Company or Healius ), I invite you to participate in the accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer of new fully paid ordinary shares in Healius ( New Shares ) at an issue price of $1.20 ( Offer Price ) per New Share ( Entitlement Offer or Offer ) to raise approximately $187 million as announced by Healius on Monday, 20 November 2023.

The proceeds of the Offer will be used to reduce Healius’ net debt and reset its balance sheet with appropriate gearing.

As announced on Wednesday, 22 November 2023, Healius has successfully completed the Institutional Entitlement Offer, which raised approximately $154 million[2] . New Shares are expected to be issued under the Institutional Entitlement Offer on Friday, 1 December 2023.

This Retail Offer Booklet relates to the Retail Entitlement Offer. The Offer is fully underwritten[3] by Barrenjoey Markets Pty Limited ( Underwriter ).

RETAIL ENTITLEMENT OFFER

Under the Retail Entitlement Offer, Eligible Retail Shareholders have the opportunity to invest at the same price as the Institutional Investors who participated in the Institutional Entitlement Offer.

Under the Retail Entitlement Offer, Eligible Retail Shareholders can subscribe for 1 New Share for every 3.65 Existing Shares they hold[4] as at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on Thursday, 23 November 2023 ( Record Date ) at an issue price of $1.20 per New Share (being the Offer Price).

Eligible Retail Shareholders who take up their full Entitlement may also apply for additional New Shares in excess of their Entitlement under the Oversubscription Facility up to a maximum of 25% of their Entitlement (unless they are a Related Party of Healius) ( Additional New Shares ). Additional New Shares will only be available under the Oversubscription Facility to the extent that there is any Retail Shortfall. The allocation of Additional New Shares will be subject to the availability of Additional New Shares and any scale back will be applied by Healius and the Underwriter in their absolute discretion.

All directors of Healius who are existing shareholders on the Record Date have committed to take up their pro rata entitlements under the Retail Entitlement Offer.

The Offer Price under the Retail Entitlement Offer is the same Offer Price as for the Institutional Entitlement Offer, and represents a:

  • discount of 29.3% to the TERP[5] of $1.698; and

  • discount of 34.6% to the last closing price of $1.835 on Friday, 17 November 2023.

2 This amount is current as at Wednesday, 22 November 2023 and is subject to final reconciliations being determined under the Institutional Entitlement Offer. 3

Refer to “Shortfall” on slide 24 of the Investor Presentation for a description of the terms and conditions of the underwriting arrangements, including the handling of any excess shortfall shares.

4 Where fractions arise in the calculation of an Entitlement, they will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares.

5 Theoretical ex-rights price ( TERP ) is the theoretical ex-rights price. TERP is calculated by reference to Healius’ closing price of $1.835 on Friday, 17 November 2023, being the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Offer. TERP is a theoretical calculation only and the actual price at which Healius shares trade immediately after the ex-date of the Offer will depend on many factors and may not be equal to TERP.

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES

New Shares issued under the Offer will rank equally with Existing Shares.

ASX has confirmed that, as a result of the off-market takeover bid ( Takeover Offer ) from Australian Clinical Labs Limited ( ACL ), the New Shares will be issued under a separate ticker, expected to be “HLSNB”. The New Shares will trade separately from the main class of Healius fully paid ordinary shares (unless the Takeover Offer lapses or ACL obtains relief from ASIC to extend the Takeover Offer to the New Shares). When the Takeover Offer ends, or if ACL obtains relief from ASIC to extend the Takeover Offer to the New Shares, ASX will fold the New Shares into the main class of Healius fully paid ordinary shares. The Takeover Offer is currently scheduled to end on 29 February 2024. For further details on the impact of the Offer on the Takeover Offer, see the announcement released by Healius to ASX on Monday, 20 November 2023 (see Section 4 of this Retail Offer Booklet).

The number of New Shares and Additional New Shares which you are entitled to subscribe for under the Retail Entitlement Offer is set out in your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form that will accompany this Retail Offer Booklet when it is despatched or otherwise made available online at www.computersharecas.com.au/healius to Eligible Retail Shareholders on Tuesday, 28 November 2023.

Shareholders in the United States are not eligible to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer. Similarly, Shareholders (including nominees and custodians) who hold Shares on behalf of persons in the United States, or who are acting for the account or benefit of persons in the United States, are not eligible to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer on behalf of those persons.

Your Entitlement may have value and it is important that you determine whether to take up or do nothing in respect of your Entitlement. The Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable, which means your Entitlement will not be tradeable on ASX or any other exchange, they cannot be sold, and they cannot be privately transferred or otherwise disposed of. This means that Eligible Retail Shareholders who do not take up their full Entitlement will not receive any payment or value for those Entitlements and their percentage holding in Healius will be reduced.

HOW TO APPLY

To participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer, please ensure that you validly apply before 5.00pm (Sydney time) on Thursday, 7 December 2023 (unless extended). You can apply by paying your Application Money via BPAY[®] or (for Eligible Retail Shareholders in New Zealand only) EFT.

If you choose to pay via BPAY[®] , you must follow the steps set out in Section 3.9 of this Retail Offer Booklet. If you are resident in New Zealand and unable to pay by BPAY[®] but wish to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer, you must follow the steps set out in Section 3.10 of this Retail Offer Booklet.

2 OVERVIEW OF THE OFFER

2.1 OVERVIEW

Under the Entitlement Offer, Healius is offering Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 3.65 Existing Shares held[16] on the Record Date. The Offer Price is $1.20 per New Share.

The proceeds of the Offer will be used to reduce Healius’ net debt and reset its balance sheet with appropriate gearing.

The Entitlement Offer has two components:

  • (a) the Institutional Entitlement Offer – Eligible Institutional Shareholders were given the opportunity to take up all or part of their Entitlement, and a bookbuild process to sell Entitlements not taken up by Eligible Institutional Shareholders as well as New Shares that otherwise would have been offered to Ineligible Shareholders was carried out. The Institutional Entitlement Offer raised approximately $154 million[17] ; and

  • (b) the Retail Entitlement Offer (to which this Retail Offer Booklet relates) – Eligible Retail Shareholders will be given the opportunity to take up all or part of their Entitlement, take up Additional New Shares in excess of their Entitlement or do nothing in respect of their Entitlement. Eligible Retail Shareholders that take up their Entitlement in full may apply for Additional New

Shares of up to a maximum of 25% of their Entitlement under the Oversubscription Facility (unless they are a Related Party of Healius) subject to the availability of Additional New Shares and any scale back that may be applied by Healius and the Underwriter in their absolute discretion. The Retail Entitlement Offer is looking to raise approximately $33 million[18] .

Both the Institutional Entitlement Offer and the Retail Entitlement Offer are non-renounceable. Accordingly, Entitlements cannot be traded on ASX or any other exchange, nor can they be sold, privately transferred or otherwise disposed of.

New Shares issued under the Retail Entitlement Offer are to be issued at the same price as New Shares issued under the Institutional Entitlement Offer. In addition, Eligible Shareholders’ Entitlements under the Institutional Entitlement Offer and the Retail Entitlement Offer are calculated based on the same ratio.

The Offer is fully underwritten[19] by the Underwriter in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement (see Section 5.5 of this Retail Offer Booklet).

2.2 INSTITUTIONAL ENTITLEMENT OFFER

Healius has already raised approximately $154 million[20] from Institutional Investors as part of the Institutional Entitlement Offer, at $1.20 per New Share.[21]

New Shares are expected to be issued under the Institutional Entitlement Offer on Friday, 1 December 2023.

2.3 RETAIL ENTITLEMENT OFFER

The Retail Entitlement Offer is being made pursuant to section 708AA of the Corporations Act (as notionally modified by ASIC Corporations (Non-Traditional Rights Issues) Instrument 2016/84 and ASIC Corporations (Disregarding Technical Relief) Instrument 2016/73 ) which allows entitlement offers to be offered without a prospectus, provided certain conditions are satisfied.

As a result, the Retail Entitlement Offer is not being made under a prospectus and it is important for Eligible Retail Shareholders to read the information on Healius and the Retail Entitlement Offer made publicly available prior to taking up all or part of their Entitlement. In particular, please refer to the materials in Section 4 of this Retail Offer Booklet, other announcements made by Healius (available at www.asx.com.au) and all other parts of this Retail Offer Booklet carefully before making any decisions in relation to your Entitlement.

The Retail Entitlement Offer consists of an offer to Eligible Retail Shareholders, who are invited to apply for 1 New Share for every 3.65 Existing Shares held[22] on the Record Date. The Offer Price of $1.20 per New Share represents a:

  • discount of 29.3% to the TERP[23] of $1.698; and

  • discount of 34.6% to the last closing price of $1.835 on Friday, 17 November 2023.

The Retail Entitlement Offer opens after 9.00am (Sydney time) on Tuesday, 28 November 2023. This is also the date when the Retail Offer Booklet will be released and made available online to Eligible Retail Shareholders. The Retail Entitlement Offer is expected to close at 5.00pm (Sydney time) on Thursday, 7 December 2023 (being the Closing Date ).

Please consult your stockbroker, solicitor, accountant or other independent professional adviser if you have any queries or are uncertain about any aspect of the Retail Entitlement Offer. In particular, please refer to the “Key Risks” in slides 16 to 24 of the Investor Presentation (see Section 4 of this Retail Offer Booklet).

2.4 ELIGIBILITY OF RETAIL SHAREHOLDERS

The Retail Entitlement Offer is being offered to all Eligible Retail Shareholders only.

Eligible Retail Shareholders are Shareholders who:

  • (a) are registered as a holder of Existing Shares on Healius’ share register on the Record Date, being 7.00pm (Sydney time) on Thursday, 23 November 2023;

  • (b) have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand on the Record Date as noted on Healius’ share register or are persons that Healius has determined in its discretion are Eligible Retail Shareholders;

  • (c) are not in the United States and are not acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States (to the extent such person holds Shares and acts for the account or benefit of such persons in the United States);

  • (d) Healius determines in its discretion did not receive an invitation to participate in, or were otherwise ineligible to participate in, the Institutional Entitlement Offer and were not treated as Ineligible Institutional Shareholders under the Institutional Entitlement Offer (other than as a nominee, trustee or custodian, in each case in respect of other underlying holdings); and

  • (e) are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Retail Entitlement Offer without a prospectus or other disclosure document or any lodgement, filing, registration or qualification,

provided (for the avoidance of doubt) that if a Shareholder (including a nominee, trustee or custodian) is acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States, it may not participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer on behalf of that person.

Healius has determined that it would be unreasonable to extend the Retail Entitlement Offer to Ineligible Retail Shareholders after taking into account the legal and regulatory requirements in certain countries and because of the relatively small number of those Shareholders in certain countries, the number and value of New Shares those Shareholders would otherwise be entitled to and the cost of complying with the applicable laws and the requirements of any regulatory authority in jurisdictions outside Australia and New Zealand, but reserves its right to do so (subject to compliance with relevant laws).

See Section 3.14 of this Retail Offer Booklet for the notice to nominees, trustees and custodians.

3 HOW TO APPLY

3.1 YOUR ENTITLEMENT

Each Entitlement is calculated as 1 New Share for every 3.65 Existing Shares held on the Record Date with fractional entitlements rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares. You can access details of your Entitlement and the maximum number of Additional New Shares that you can apply for online at www.computersharecas.com.au/healius.

Eligible Retail Shareholders may subscribe for all or part of their Entitlement.

Eligible Retail Shareholders who take up their full Entitlement may also apply for Additional New Shares in excess of their Entitlement under the Oversubscription Facility up to a maximum of 25% of their Entitlement (unless they are a Related Party of Healius). Additional New Shares will only be available under the Oversubscription Facility to the extent that there is any Retail Shortfall. The allocation of Additional New Shares will be subject to the availability of Additional New Shares and any scale back will be applied by Healius and the Underwriter in their absolute discretion.

If you have more than one registered holding of Shares, you will have separate Entitlements for each

separate holding.

Any New Shares not taken up by the Closing Date of the Retail Entitlement Offer (including under the Oversubscription Facility) will be made available to the Underwriter and/or any sub-underwriters subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting arrangements.

Please note that the Entitlement and the maximum number of Additional New Shares that you can apply for shown online at www.computersharecas.com.au/healius(or on your paper copy Entitlement and Acceptance Form, where applicable) may be in excess of the actual Entitlement and number of Additional New Shares you may be permitted to take up where, for example, you are holding Shares on behalf of a person in the United States (refer to the definition of Eligible Retail Shareholders in Section 2.4 of this Retail Offer Booklet).

Eligible Retail Shareholders who hold Shares in the capacity of a nominee, trustee or custodian (or in any other capacity) for a person that is in the United States, or who are otherwise acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States, cannot take up Entitlements or purchase New Shares or Additional New Shares on behalf of that person.

See Section 3.14 of this Retail Offer Booklet for the notice to nominees, trustees and custodians.

Eligible Retail Shareholders should be aware that an investment in Healius involves both known and unknown risks. These risks include the possible loss of income and principal invested. Healius does not guarantee any particular rate of return or the performance of the New Shares offered under the Retail Entitlement Offer or the performance of Healius, nor does it guarantee repayment of capital from Healius. The key risks identified by Healius are set out in slides 16 to 24 of the Investor Presentation (see Section 4 of this Retail Offer Booklet).

All Eligible Retail Shareholders who apply to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer are taken to make the declarations, acknowledgements, representations, warranties and other confirmations on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form and in this Retail Offer Booklet (including, without limitation, in Section 3.12 of this Retail Offer Booklet).

3.2 OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO YOU

The number of New Shares to which Eligible Retail Shareholders are entitled and the maximum number of Additional New Shares that an Eligible Retail Shareholder can apply for is available online at www.computersharecas.com.au/healius (or is set out on your paper copy Entitlement and Acceptance Form, where applicable). Eligible Retail Shareholders may:

  • (a) Option 1: take up their Entitlement in full by 5.00pm (Sydney time) on the Closing Date (see Section 3.3 of this Retail Offer Booklet);

  • (b) Option 2 : take up their Entitlement in full, and apply for Additional New Shares in excess of their Entitlement up to a maximum of 25% of their Entitlement, by 5.00pm (Sydney time) on the Closing Date (see Section 3.4 of this Retail Offer Booklet);

  • (c) Option 3: take up part of their Entitlement by 5.00pm (Sydney time) on the Closing Date, in which case the balance of their Entitlement would lapse (see Section 3.5 of this Retail Offer Booklet); or

  • (d) Option 4: do nothing and allow their Entitlement to lapse (see Section 3.6 of this Retail Offer Booklet).

The Retail Entitlement Offer is an offer to Eligible Retail Shareholders only. Ineligible Retail Shareholders may not participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer.

Healius reserves the right to reject any payment that is received after 5.00pm (Sydney time) on the Closing Date. Healius’ decision is final.

If you do not accept all or part of your Entitlement in accordance with the instructions set out in this Retail Offer Booklet, those New Shares that you would have otherwise been entitled to under the Retail Entitlement Offer (including New Shares that relate to the portion of your Entitlement that has not been accepted) will be acquired either by Eligible Retail Shareholders under the Oversubscription Facility or by the Underwriter or any sub-underwriters subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting arrangements.

By allowing some or all of your Entitlement to lapse, you will forgo any exposure to increases or decreases in the value of the New Shares had you taken up that part of your Entitlement and you will not receive any payment or value for that part of your Entitlement. Your proportionate interest in Healius will also be diluted by the Offer.

The Closing Date for acceptance of the Retail Entitlement Offer is expected to be 5.00pm (Sydney time) on Thursday, 7 December 2023 (however, that date may be varied by Healius, in accordance with the Listing Rules and applicable law).

3.3 OPTION 1: TAKING UP ALL OF YOUR ENTITLEMENT

If you wish to take up all of your Entitlement, you are encouraged to make payment via BPAY[®] by following the instructions available online at www.computersharecas.com.au/healius or (if you request a paper copy) as set out on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

If you are a New Zealand Shareholder who does not have an Australian bank account or do not wish to pay via BPAY[®] , see Section 3.10 of this Retail Offer Booklet.

If Healius receives an amount that is more than your full Entitlement, that amount will be treated as applying for as many Additional New Shares as it will pay for in full up to an additional 25% of your Entitlement (unless you are a Related Party of Healius) subject to the availability of Additional New Shares and any scale back which Healius and the Underwriter agree may apply (in their absolute discretion) (see below at section 3.4).

Payment must be received by the Share Registry by no later than 5.00pm (Sydney time) on Thursday, 7 December 2023 (being the Closing Date).

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES

3.4 OPTION 2: TAKING UP ALL OF YOUR ENTITLEMENT AND APPLYING FOR ADDITIONAL NEW SHARES

If you wish to take up all of your Entitlement and apply for Additional New Shares up to a maximum of 25% of your Entitlement, you are encouraged to make payment via BPAY[®] by following the instructions available online at www.computersharecas.com.au/healius or (if you request a paper copy) as set out on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

If you are a New Zealand Shareholder who does not have an Australian bank account or do not wish to pay via BPAY[®] , see Section 3.10 of this Retail Offer Booklet.

Payment must be received by the Share Registry by no later than 5.00pm (Sydney time) on Thursday, 7 December 2023 (being the Closing Date).

The Application Money payable by you will be equal to the Offer Price multiplied by the total of the number of New Shares comprising your Entitlement and the number of Additional New Shares you wish to take up – you will need to calculate this number yourself. The Oversubscription Facility is not available to Eligible Retail Shareholders who are Related Parties of Healius.

The 25% cap on Additional New Shares will be applied at the beneficial shareholding level and Healius reserves all rights in its discretion to determine which applications for Additional New Shares are made validly within that cap.

Additional New Shares will only be allocated to you if there are sufficient New Shares resulting from any Retail Shortfall, subject to any scale back which Healius and the Underwriter agree may apply (in their absolute discretion). There is no guarantee you will be allocated any Additional New Shares. Without limiting their discretion, Healius and the Underwriter may have regard to the pro rata entitlement of Eligible Retail Shareholders who apply for Additional New Shares when determining any scale back.

  • 3.5 OPTION 3: TAKING UP PART OF YOUR ENTITLEMENT AND ALLOWING THE BALANCE TO LAPSE

If you wish to take up part of your Entitlement, you are encouraged to make payment by following the instructions available online at www.computersharecas.com.au/healius or (if you request a paper copy) as set out on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

If you are a New Zealand Shareholder who does not have an Australian bank account or do not wish to pay via BPAY[®] , see Section 3.10 of this Retail Offer Booklet.

Payment must be received by the Share Registry by no later than 5.00pm (Sydney time) on Thursday, 7 December 2023 (being the Closing Date).

If Healius receives an amount that is less than the Offer Price multiplied by your Entitlement, your payment may be treated as an Application for as many New Shares as your Application Money will pay for in full.

Any Entitlements which you do not take up will lapse and will be acquired either by Eligible Retail Shareholders under the Oversubscription Facility or by the Underwriter or any sub-underwriters subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting arrangements.

3.6 OPTION 4: ALLOWING YOUR ENTITLEMENT TO LAPSE

If you take no action, you will not be issued New Shares and your Entitlement will lapse.

Any Entitlements which you do not take up will lapse and will be acquired either by Eligible Retail Shareholders under the Oversubscription Facility or by the Underwriter or any sub-underwriters.

3.7 CONSEQUENCES OF NOT TAKING UP ALL OR PART OF YOUR ENTITLEMENT

If you do not take up all or part of your Entitlement in accordance with the instructions set out above, your Entitlements will lapse and those New Shares for which you would have otherwise been entitled under the Retail Entitlement Offer (including New Shares that relate to the portion of your Entitlement that has not been taken up) will be acquired by Eligible Retail Shareholders under the Oversubscription Facility or by the Underwriter or any sub-underwriters subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting arrangements.

By allowing all or part of your Entitlement to lapse, you will forgo any exposure to increases or decreases in the value of the New Shares representing that part of your Entitlement not taken up and you will not receive any payment or value for that part of your Entitlement. Your percentage interest in Healius will also be diluted to the extent that New Shares are issued under the Offer.

3.8 PAYMENT AND REFUNDS

You are encouraged to pay your Application Money using BPAY[®] if possible (see Section 3.9 of this Retail Offer Booklet).

If you are a New Zealand Shareholder who does not have an Australian bank account or do not wish to pay via BPAY[®] , see Section 3.10 of this Retail Offer Booklet.

Cash payments will not be accepted. Receipts for payment will not be issued.

All payments must be in Australian dollars.

Healius will treat you as applying for as many New Shares as your payment will pay for in full up to your Entitlement. If Healius receives an amount that is more than your full Entitlement, that amount will be treated as applying for as many Additional New Shares as it will pay for in full up to an additional 25% of your Entitlement subject to the availability of Additional New Shares and any scale back which Healius and the Underwriter agree may apply (in their absolute discretion).

Any Application Money received for more than your final allocation of New Shares will be refunded as soon as practicable after the close of the Retail Entitlement Offer unless that refund would be for a nominal amount of less than $2, in which case no refund will be made. No interest will be paid to Applicants on any Application Money received or refunded.

Refund amounts, if any, will be paid in Australian dollars. You will be paid either by direct credit to the nominated bank account as noted on Healius’ share register as at the Closing Date or by cheque sent by ordinary post to your address as recorded on Healius’ share register (the registered address of the firstnamed in the case of joint holders).

If you wish to advise or change your banking instructions with the Share Registry you may do so by updating your bank account details online at www.computershare.com.au/easyupdate/hls or by contacting the Share Registry at 1300 855 080 (from within Australia) or +61 3 9415 4000 (from outside of Australia) before the Closing Date to guide you through the process.

3.13 BROKERAGE AND STAMP DUTY

No brokerage fee is payable by Eligible Retail Shareholders who accept their Entitlement. No stamp duty is payable for subscribing for New Shares under the Retail Entitlement Offer (see also Section 3.6 of this Retail Offer Booklet).

3.14 NOTICE TO NOMINEES, TRUSTEES AND CUSTODIANS

The Retail Entitlement Offer is being made to all Eligible Retail Shareholders. Nominees, trustees or custodians with registered addresses in Australia or New Zealand, irrespective of whether they participate under the Institutional Entitlement Offer, may also be able to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer in respect of some or all of the beneficiaries on whose behalf they hold Existing Shares, provided that the applicable beneficiary would satisfy the criteria for an Eligible Retail Shareholder (“ Eligible Beneficiary ”).

In the event that a nominee, trustee or custodian holds Existing Shares on behalf of more than one Eligible Beneficiary, the nominee, trustee or custodian may participate in the Oversubscription Facility on behalf of an Eligible Beneficiary on whose behalf their full Entitlement has been taken up (unless the relevant Eligible Beneficiary is a Related Party of Healius), notwithstanding the nominee, trustee or custodian may not have taken up, on behalf of all of their Eligible Beneficiaries, all of their Entitlements.

Nominees, trustees and custodians who hold Shares as nominees, trustees or custodians will have received, or will shortly receive, a letter from Healius with further information. Nominees, trustees and custodians should carefully consider the contents of that letter and note in particular that the Retail Entitlement Offer is not available to:

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES

24

  • (a) beneficiaries on whose behalf they hold Existing Shares who would not satisfy the criteria for an Eligible Retail Shareholder;

  • (b) Eligible Institutional Shareholders who Healius determines in its discretion received an offer to participate in the Institutional Entitlement Offer (whether they accepted their Entitlement or not);

  • (c) Ineligible Institutional Shareholders who were ineligible to participate in the Institutional Entitlement Offer; or

  • (d) Shareholders who are not eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Retail Entitlement Offer.

Due to legal restrictions, nominees, trustees and custodians may not send copies of this Retail Offer Booklet (including the attachments to it) or the Entitlement and Acceptance Form to (or accept the Retail Entitlement Offer on behalf of) persons in any other jurisdiction outside Australia or New Zealand, except to (or on behalf of) beneficial shareholders who are institutional or professional investors in certain foreign countries (other than the United States) to the extent contemplated in the “International Offer Restrictions” section of the Investor Presentation (see Section 4 of this Retail Offer Booklet) or as Healius may otherwise permit in compliance with applicable law.

In particular, persons acting as nominees, trustees or custodians for other persons may not take up Entitlements, or subscribe for or purchase New Shares, on behalf of, any person in the United States or any person that is acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States. Documents relating to the Retail Entitlement Offer must not be sent to any person in the United States.

Healius is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder is acting as a nominee, trustee or custodian or the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of Shares. Where any holder is acting as a nominee, trustee or custodian for a foreign person, that holder, in dealing with its beneficiary, will need to assess whether indirect participation by the beneficiary in the Retail Entitlement Offer is compatible with applicable foreign laws. It is the responsibility of nominees, trustees and custodians to clearly identify the residency of beneficiaries on whose behalf they hold Existing Shares when applying for New Shares on their behalf. Healius is not able to advise on foreign laws.

Nominees, trustees and custodians who want to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer on behalf of their eligible beneficiaries will be required to provide a completed custodian schedule and send to the Share Registry confirming the underlying details of their underlying beneficial holders. Please contact the Share Registry at [email protected] if you require another copy of the custodian schedule.

3.15 RECONCILIATION AND RIGHTS OF HEALIUS

In any entitlement offer, investors may believe that they own more Shares on the Record Date than they ultimately do. This may result in a need for reconciliation to ensure all Eligible Shareholders have the opportunity to receive their full Entitlement.

Healius may need to issue a small quantity of additional New Shares to ensure all Eligible Shareholders have the opportunity to receive their appropriate allocation of New Shares. The price at which these New Shares would be issued, if required, is the same as the Offer Price.

Healius reserves the right (in its discretion) to reduce the number of Entitlements or New Shares or Additional New Shares allocated to Eligible Retail Shareholders, or persons claiming to be Eligible Retail Shareholders, if their claims prove to be overstated or if they (or their nominee, trustee or custodian) fail to provide information to substantiate their claims.

In either of those cases Healius may, in its reasonable discretion and subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, require the relevant Shareholder to transfer excess New Shares (including any Additional New Shares) to the Underwriter (or another party) at the Offer Price per New Share. If necessary, the relevant Shareholder may need to transfer Existing Shares held by them or purchase additional Shares on-market to meet this obligation. To the extent not caused by the fraud, gross negligence or wilful

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES

25

misconduct of Healius or its Beneficiaries, the relevant Shareholder will bear any and all losses and expenses caused by subscribing for New Shares in excess of their Entitlement and any actions they are required to take in this regard.

By applying under the Retail Entitlement Offer, you irrevocably acknowledge and agree to do the above as required by Healius or the Underwriter in their discretion.

Healius also reserves the right to reject any acceptance of an Entitlement or any application for Additional New Shares that it believes comes from a person who is not eligible to accept an Entitlement or apply for those Additional New Shares.

3.16 WITHDRAWAL OF THE OFFER

Subject to applicable law, Healius reserves the right to withdraw all or part of the Offer at any time. If Healius exercises this right, it will refund any Application Money received in relation to New Shares not already issued in accordance with the Corporations Act and will do so without interest being payable to Applicants. In circumstances where New Shares have been allotted under the Institutional Entitlement Offer, Healius will only be able to withdraw (to the extent permitted by law and any relevant regulatory relief) the Offer with respect to New Shares to be issued under the Retail Entitlement Offer.

Refund amounts, if any, will be paid in Australian dollars. You will be paid either by direct credit to the nominated bank account as noted on the share register as at the Closing Date or by cheque sent by ordinary post to your address as recorded on the share register (the registered address of the first-named in the case of joint holders).

You agree that to the maximum extent permitted by law any Application Money paid by you to Healius will not entitle you to receive any interest and that any interest earned in respect of Application Money will belong to Healius.

3.17 RISKS

Eligible Retail Shareholders should be aware that an investment in Healius involves risks. The key risks identified by Healius are set out in slides 16 to 24 of the Investor Presentation (see Section 4 of this Retail Offer Booklet), but these are not an exhaustive list of the risks associated with an investment in the Shares. You should consider these risks carefully in light of your personal circumstances, including financial and taxation issues, before making an investment decision in connection with the Retail Entitlement Offer.

3.18 FURTHER ENQUIRIES

If you have any questions regarding the Offer, please contact the Offer Information Line on 1300 855 080 (from within Australia) or +61 3 9415 4000 (from outside of Australia) at any time from 8.30am to 5.00pm (Sydney time) Monday to Friday during the Retail Entitlement Offer Period.

ASX Announcement

20 November 2023

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES

Trading update, equity raising and capital structure initiatives

  • Fully underwritten[1] accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer to raise ~A$187 million (Entitlement Offer or Equity Raising).

  • Support from Healius’ debt providers, with agreement to waive the net debt covenant for 1H24 and temporarily increase covenant headroom for FY24.

  • To deliver a reset of the balance sheet with appropriate gearing, in a post-COVID recovery market, with inflationary pressures and higher interest rates.

Today, Healius Limited (ASX:HLS) ( Healius or Group ) has announced an approximately $187 million 1 for 3.65 pro-rata accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer ( Entitlement Offer ). The proceeds from the Entitlement Offer will be used to reduce Healius’ net debt and reset its balance sheet with appropriate gearing.

Healius today also announces that its lending syndicate has agreed to waive Healius’ gearing[2] covenant for 1H 2024 and temporarily increase the covenant from 3.5x to 4.0x at 30 June 2024. This waiver is in conjunction with a commitment from Healius to reduce its total bank facilities from $1 billion to $750 million and to reduce its drawn debt by at least $150 million by 30 June 2024. The Group will also not declare or pay any dividends for FY 2024.

Following the completion of the Entitlement Offer, Healius expects to have sufficient financial flexibility and liquidity to navigate near-term cost pressures in a post-COVID recovery market, as well as undertake disciplined investment in its core businesses as industry volumes recover over time.

1 Refer to “Shortfall” on slide 24 of the Key Risks section in the investor presentation released to ASX by Healius on 20 November 2023 for a description of the terms and conditions of the underwriting arrangements. 2 Gearing is calculated as net debt (including unamortised borrowing costs and parent company guarantees) divided by underlying EBITDA for the last 12 months (before the impact of AASB 16 and AASB 15, share-based payments expense, and profit or loss on sale of fixed assets).

28

Following the Entitlement Offer:

  • Healius’ Pro Forma FY 2023 Net Debt would be $263[3] million, resulting in Pro-Forma FY 2023 Gearing of 2.0x[3 ] underlying EBITDA[2] .

  • Healius will have undrawn bank facilities of $372[3 ] million, with the first maturity event due in March 2025.

The announcement of the Entitlement Offer and debt covenant relief follows the implementation of an extensive cost reset program post-COVID that has made Healius a leaner, stronger underlying business today as the sector recovers.

On-going efficiency and revenue reviews continue in light of current trading conditions, including pricing and revenue assurance initiatives, footprint optimisation, together with general cost management programs to offset inflationary pressures.

Healius’ CEO Maxine Jaquet said: “Over the past year, the management team has and continues to undertake an extensive reset of the cost base for the post-COVID environment. The Equity Raising announced today will reset Healius’ capital structure for the current environment.

“In tandem, we are executing on growth opportunities including our initiatives around digitisation, network and customer optimisation, as well as positioning Healius to take advantage of the recovery in the healthcare sector, which we believe is underpinned by strong drivers including the ageing and growing population in Australia.”

Trading Update

Market trading for the first quarter of FY 2024 was as follows:

Pathology:

  • Core Pathology volumes grew 6%[4] on the previous corresponding period ( pcp ) for the quarter, with weekly volumes improving noticeably across October and into the first three weeks of November.

  • Healius’ share of Medicare Benefits Schedule ( MBS ) benefits paid remained constant on rolling six-month and twelve-month bases[5] , a solid outcome given the on-going lower growth and lower value of GP-referred MBS benefits paid when compared to the growth and value of specialists MBS benefits paid.

  • COVID volumes declined over 90% on pcp for the quarter.

  • Agilex growth has continued from its strong run-rate in Q4 FY 2023 and remains on track for a much stronger FY 2024 EBIT contribution than pcp.

  • Costs and capital are being tightly managed as pathology volumes recover.

3 Net debt, gearing and undrawn bank facilities are presented before transaction costs.

4 Since combined Respiratory/ COVID comprises over 80% of all requests linked to the new codes introduced in October 2022, these combined Respiratory/ COVID tests are being recorded in core trading.

5 Healius six-months’ and twelve-months’ rolling share of MBS benefits paid is approximately 24%.

29

Imaging:

  • Lumus Imaging has continued to grow via volume and pricing improvements, modality mix and indexation, supported by the footprint of large-scale comprehensive community sites and a strong hospital portfolio.

  • Lumus Imaging gross[6] revenue was up 9% on pcp for the quarter, with MBS benefits also up 9%.

Outlook

Based on trading conditions experienced in FY 2024 to-date, Healius provides the following guidance:

  • Healius expects underlying EBITDA of $158 million - $161 million and EBIT of $14 million – $17 million for 1H 2024. (Healius recorded $57 million of COVID-related revenues in H1 2023 which equated to an EBIT impact of approximately $24 million[4] .)

  • Healius expects underlying EBITDA of $383 million - $393 million and EBIT of $95 million – $105 million for FY 2024 based on the assumptions set out below.

1H v 2H earnings:

  • Revenue for the Group is historically weighted towards 2H driven by greater 2H pathology volumes and revenue. This results in a more significant 2H earnings skew given the predominantly fixed cost base (with consumables being the main volumedependent variable cost).

  • Pathology core volumes are assumed to grow in the order of between 6% and 8% in 2H 2024 on pcp, premised on:

  • Q1 2024 pathology volume growth of 6% on pcp,

  • Expected 1H 2024 pathology revenues of approximately $600 million, and

  • The upward trend observed in the market to-date.

  • A 1% movement in Healius’ pathology growth for 2H 2024 compared to pcp results in approximately $5 million of EBIT impact for the business unit. The upper end of the FY 2024 expected underlying EBIT range ($105 million) assumes volume growth of 8% while the lower end of the range ($95 million) assumes a volume growth case of 6%. As noted above, Healius’ underlying EBIT is highly leveraged to pathology volume growth.

6 Gross revenue is before deduction for contract radiologists’ share of revenue and amortisation costs under AASB15. Gross revenue growth excludes the Medical Centres channel which continued to be impacted by the market-wide GP shortages, and the Department of Immigration screening contract.

30

  • Included in the FY 2024 guidance range are the aforementioned efficiency and revenue initiatives which are expected to deliver approximately $15 million EBIT in 2H 2024.

  • A combination of the traditional revenue weighting to 2H, higher volume growth expectations in 2H 2024 on pcp, and revenue and efficiency reviews is expected to have a significant impact on earnings for the second half of the FY 2024 financial year.

Entitlement Offer

Healius will undertake a fully underwritten[7] 1 for 3.65 pro rata accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer to raise ~A$187 million.

Healius will issue ~156.1 million fully paid ordinary shares ( New Shares ) under the Entitlement Offer, representing ~27.4% of Healius’ existing shares on issue. The New Shares will rank equally with existing fully paid ordinary shares on issue.

ASX has confirmed that, as a result of the off-market takeover bid ( Takeover Offer ) from Australian Clinical Labs Limited ( ACL ), the New Shares will be issued under a separate ticker, expected to be ‘HLSNB’. The New Shares will trade separately from the main class of Healius shares (unless the Takeover Offer lapses or ACL obtains relief from ASIC to extend the Takeover Offer to the New Shares). When the Takeover Offer ends or if ACL obtains relief from ASIC to extend the Takeover Offer to the New Shares, ASX will fold the New Shares into the main class of Healius shares. The Takeover Offer is currently scheduled to end on 29 February 2024.

The Entitlement Offer will be conducted at A$1.20 per New Share ( Offer Price ), representing a:

  • 29.3% discount to the theoretical ex-rights price of A$1.698 ( TERP )[8]

  • 34.6% discount to Healius’ last closing price of A$1.835 on 17 November 2023.

The Entitlement Offer is comprised of two components: the Institutional Entitlement Offer and the Retail Entitlement Offer. Under the Institutional Entitlement Offer, eligible shareholders in certain jurisdictions will be invited to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 3.65 existing Healius fully paid ordinary shares held as at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on Thursday, 23 November 2023.

7 See footnote 1.

8 TERP is the theoretical ex-rights price. TERP is calculated by reference to Healius’ closing price of A$1.835 on 17 November 2023, being the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Equity Raising. TERP is a theoretical calculation only and the actual price at which Healius shares trade immediately after the ex-date of the Equity Raising will depend on many factors and may not be equal to TERP.

31

Institutional Entitlement Offer

Eligible institutional shareholders will be invited to participate in the Institutional Entitlement Offer which will open today, Monday, 20 November 2023. Eligible institutional shareholders can choose to take up all, part or none of their entitlement as part of the Institutional Entitlement Offer.

Institutional entitlements not taken up, and those of ineligible institutional shareholders, will be placed into an institutional shortfall bookbuild and offered to certain institutional shareholders and investors. This will be conducted at the Offer Price and will occur concurrently with the Institutional Entitlement Offer.

Retail Entitlement Offer

Eligible retail shareholders in Australia and New Zealand as at 7:00pm Sydney time on Thursday, 23 November 2023 ( Record Date ) will be invited to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer at the same Offer Price and offer ratio as under the Institutional Entitlement Offer.

The Retail Entitlement Offer will open on Tuesday, 28 November 2023 and close at 5:00pm (Sydney time) on Thursday, 7 December 2023. Further details about the Retail Entitlement Offer will be set out in a retail offer booklet ( Retail Offer Booklet ) which Healius expects to lodge with the ASX on Tuesday, 28 November 2023. Eligible retail shareholders are encouraged to read the Retail Offer Booklet in its entirety, in particular, the risk factors, and should seek financial advice if they are uncertain of whether or not to participate. Eligible retail shareholders can choose to take up all, part or none of their entitlement.

Eligible retail shareholders that take up their full entitlement may also apply for additional New Shares in excess of their entitlement (up to 25% of their entitlement and subject to scale-back, at Healius’ discretion).

All Directors who are existing shareholders on the Record Date have committed to take up their pro rata entitlements under the Retail Entitlement Offer.

ACL takeover offer

Healius is still subject to a highly conditional scrip off-market takeover bid from ACL. For the reasons set out in the Target’s Statement issued by Healius in response to the Takeover Offer, the Healius Board has unanimously recommended that Healius shareholders reject the Takeover Offer.

The Entitlement Offer will enliven the ‘Prescribed Occurrences Condition’ of the Takeover Offer which is triggered upon new issues of new shares by Healius during the offer period.[10] Unless the triggered condition is waived by ACL, this may cause the Takeover Offer to lapse.

The Healius Board has carefully considered the potential impact of the Entitlement Offer on the Takeover Offer. Ultimately, notwithstanding the potential for the Takeover Offer to lapse,

9 These dates are indicative only and are subject to change. Healius, reserves the right, subject to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the ASX Listing Rules, to amend this indicative timetable. In particular, Healius reserves the right to extend the Equity Raising timetable and to withdraw or vary the Entitlement Offer without prior notice. Any extension of the Equity Raising timetable will have a consequential effect on the date for the allotment and issue of New Shares. Healius will consult with the underwriter in relation to any proposed change to this indicative timetable and any such change will require the consent of the underwriter. 10 See condition set out at section 11.9(o)(iv) of ACL’s Bidder’s Statement.

33

the Healius Board strongly believes that undertaking the Entitlement Offer at this time is in the best interests of Healius shareholders in order to reset the balance sheet with appropriate gearing. In coming to this view, the Healius Board has had particular regard to the following factors:

  • There is a strong possibility that the Takeover Offer may lapse in any event and not ultimately be available to Healius shareholders given that:

  • the Takeover Offer is conditional on ACCC approval and Healius continues to believe that it is unlikely that approval will be granted, based on the ACCC highlighting three ‘red lights’ (issues of concern) and one ‘amber light’ (issues that may raise concerns) in relation to the Takeover Offer and forming the preliminary view that the proposed acquisition would be likely to substantially lessen competition in multiple areas;

  • the Takeover Offer has a 90% minimum acceptance condition, but it is apparent that fewer than 1% of Healius shareholders have accepted the Takeover Offer in the 7 months it has been open and two of Healius’ largest shareholders (Perpetual and Tanarra, who together own approximately 23% of Healius) indicated that they did not support the Takeover Offer; and

  • 6 of the other conditions to the Takeover Offer have already been triggered and ACL has so far not elected to waive those conditions.

  • It remains open to ACL, if it wishes, to submit a revised offer for Healius at an exchange ratio that takes into account the expanded capital base, such that there will be no prejudice to ACL from the Entitlement Offer proceeding[11] .

Healius notes that, in its current form, the Takeover Offer will not extend to New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer. As noted above, ASX intends to establish a separate quoted class of securities for those New Shares ( HLSNB ) so that they are not intermingled with existing Healius shares that are subject to the Takeover Offer. However, if ACL wishes to proceed with its Takeover Offer, it may apply for relief from ASIC to extend the Takeover Offer to those New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer.

Further information

Further details of the Equity Raising are set out in the investor presentation lodged with the ASX today. The investor presentation also contains important information including key risks and foreign selling restrictions with respect to the Equity Raising.

ENDS

The release of this announcement has been authorised by the Board.

11 Healius is willing to consent to, and support, any application for relief made by ACL to enable the Offer to remain on foot (with adjustments to take account of the Entitlement Offer).

Trading update We provide the following update on market trading for the first quarter of FY2024

  • Core Pathology volumes grew 6%[1,2] vs pcp for the quarter

    • Weekly volumes improving noticeably across October and into the first 3 weeks of November
  • Healius share of Medicare Benefits Scheme ( MBS ) benefits paid remained constant on rolling 6 and 12 month bases[1 ]

  • Solid outcome given lower growth and lower value of GP-referred MBS benefits paid when compared to the growth and value of specialists MBS benefits paid

  • Pathology

  • COVID volumes declined over 90% vs pcp for the quarter[3]

  • Agilex growth has continued from its strong run-rate in Q4 FY2023 and remains on track for a much stronger FY2024 EBIT contribution than pcp

  • Costs and capital are being tightly managed as pathology volumes recover

  • Lumus Imaging has continued to grow via volume and pricing improvements, modality mix and indexation

Imaging

  • Supported by footprint of large-scale comprehensive community sites and a strong hospital portfolio

  • Lumus Imaging gross[3] revenue was up 9% on pcp for the quarter, with MBS benefits also up 9%

Notes: (1) Healius’ six-months’ and twelve-months’ rolling share of MBS benefits paid of approximately 24%; (2) Since combined Respiratory / COVID now comprises over 80% of all requests linked to the new codes introduced in October 2022, these combined Respiratory / COVID tests are being recorded in core trading; (3) Gross revenue is before deduction for contract radiologists’ share of revenue and amortisation costs under AASB15. Gross revenue growth excludes the Medical Centres channel which continued to be impacted by the market-wide GP shortages, and the Department of Immigration screening contract.

Outlook to FY2024 Based on trading conditions experienced in FY2024 to-date, Healius provides the following guidance

Underlying
EBITDA
$158‒161
million
$383‒393
million
Underlying
EBIT
$14‒17
million
$95‒105
million
Healius recorded$57 millionof COVID-related
revenues in H1 2023 which equated to an EBIT impact
of approximately$24 million1

A combination of the traditional revenue weighting to 2H, higher volume growth expectations in 2H 2024 on pcp, and revenue and efficiency reviews are expected to have a significant impact on earnings for the second half of FY2024

1H vs 2H earnings – context and key assumptions

  • Revenue for the Group is historically weighted towards 2H:

  • Driven by greater 2H pathology volumes and revenue

  • Results in a more significant 2H earnings skew given a predominantly fixed cost base (with consumables being the main volume-dependent variable cost)

  • • Pathology core volumes assumed to grow in the order of between 6% and 8% in 2H 2024 on pcp, premised on:

  • Q1 2024 pathology volume growth of 6% on pcp,

  • Expected 1H 2024 pathology revenues of approximately $600 million , and

  • The upward trend observed in the market to-date

  • • A 1% movement in Healius’ pathology growth for 2H 2024 vs pcp results in approximately $5 million of EBIT impact for the business unit ― Upper end of the FY2024 expected underlying EBIT range ( $105 million ) assumes volume growth of 8% while the lower end of the range ( $95 million ) assumes a downside case of volume growth of 6%

  • As noted above, Healius’ underlying EBIT is highly leveraged to pathology volume growth

  • Included in the FY2024 guidance range are the aforementioned efficiency and revenue initiatives, that are expected to deliver approximately $15 million EBIT in 2H 2024

Notes: (1) Since combined Respiratory / COVID now comprises over 80% of all requests linked to the new codes introduced in October 2022, these combined Respiratory / COVID tests are being recorded in core trading.

Key risks – Business risks

In considering the Entitlement Offer, Healius Shareholders should be aware that an investment in Healius carries a number of risks, some of which are specific to Healius (that is, matters that relate directly to Healius’ business) and some of which are general risks that relate to the industries in which Healius operates or to listed securities generally. These risks mean that the price and value of Healius shares may rise or fall over any given period. Some of these risks are beyond Healius’ control.

In deciding whether to participate in the Entitlement Offer, Healius Shareholders should read and carefully consider these risks. While some of these risks can be mitigated, some are outside the control of Healius and the Healius Board and cannot be mitigated.

The following risks do not take into account the individual investment objectives, financial situation, position or particular needs of Healius Shareholders. Before investing in Healius shares, you should consider whether this investment is suitable for you. Potential investors should also consider publicly available information in relation to Healius (for example, as available on the websites of Healius and ASX), carefully consider their personal circumstances and consult their stockbroker, solicitor, accountant or other professional advisor to ensure they understand fully the terms of the Entitlement Offer and the inherent risks before making an investment decision.

In addition, the following risks are general in nature only and do not cover every risk that may be associated with an investment in Healius now or in the future.

Risks associated with an investment in Healius

There are risks which are specific to Healius and other risks which apply to similar investments generally. If any of the risks to which Healius is exposed occur, they may materially and adversely affect the future operating and financial performance of Healius and the price or value of Healius shares.

The risks summarised below are not the only risks that Healius faces. Other risks may not be known to Healius and some that the Healius Directors currently believe to be immaterial may subsequently turn out to be material. One or more or a combination of these risks could materially impact Healius’ businesses, its operating and financial performance, the price or value of Healius shares or the dividends paid in respect of Healius shares.

The healthcare industry is highly regulated and constantly changing. Healius operates in healthcare industries which are subject to extensive laws and regulations. There are a number of government policies and regulations that, if changed, may have a material adverse impact on the financial and operational performance of Healius. Healius is subject to laws, government policies and regulations relating to, amongst other things:

  1. the conduct of operations;

Healthcare regulatory landscape

  1. Commonwealth Government rebate arrangements;

  2. the licensing, registration and accreditation of facilities and equipment; and 4. the addition and development of new facilities and equipment.

Further, regulations and laws, while complex, are sometimes poorly defined, and at times conflicting in nature, intent, or interpretation. Most are untested in courts and can have different interpretation and guidance. Failure by Healius or its health care professionals to comply with legislation, regulation and other professional standards and accreditation may result in Healius being subject to penalties, damages, fines and disruption to its operations. The reputation of Healius may also be adversely affected.

There are Federal and State policies and regulations that, if changed in nature or extent, may have a material adverse impact on the financial and operational performance of Healius. The risks to Healius’ businesses relating to these policies and regulations include any changes to the Commonwealth Government’s Medicare Benefits Schedule ( MBS ) or other government funding initiatives (Healius provides a bulk-billing option for many of its services to patients and Changes or increases in receives reimbursement through the MBS and hence a substantial amount of the Healius Group’s revenue is derived from the MBS) including: pathology and diagnostic imaging regulation and 1. changes to the MBS by the Commonwealth Government which substantially reduce the amounts payable for pathology and diagnostic imaging services. Such changes may have a material adverse impact on Healius, which uses bulk compliance obligations billing as a key feature of its service delivery; and

  1. future non-indexation of MBS fees for diagnostic imaging services by the Commonwealth Government, which could reduce the level of patient rebates. In turn, this could lead to an increase in out-of-pocket costs incurred by patients, which may adversely affect the affordability and demand for Healius’ services.

Key risks – Business risks

Pathology laboratories and diagnostic imaging facilities are required to be licensed under various pieces of legislation. These licenses are generally subject to regular review and to revocation in certain circumstances. Breaches of law or
Licenses and licence conditions can lead to, among other things, penalties, loss of operating licences, prohibition on recovery of Medicare rebates and damage to reputation. To the extent that funding agreements and provider agreements with private
accreditation health insurers include termination rights due to loss of accreditation, registration or licence, or other adverse regulatory findings, there may be flow-on contractual effects which could adversely impact on the financial performance,
position and future prospects of Healius.
Changes to operating
models for diagnostic
services
Healius operates its diagnostic businesses through established operating models centred around referrals from doctors and specialists, collection centres, imaging clinics and pathology laboratories. Regulatory changes which enable
alternate delivery mechanisms such as blood collection by pharmacists for example, could adversely impact Healius’ future operating performance and profitability.
Healius’ business model involves Healius contracting to provide a range of professional and support services to independent health care professionals to enable those practitioners to provide health care services to patients. This is a
Dependence upon and
relationship with health
common relationship model used by Healius and its key competitors. While not contemplated, any change to Healius’ relationship model with health care professionals due to evolutions in the business model or changes to industry
practice, could expose Healius to increased costs (including where Healius becomes an employer of health care professionals).
care professionals A significant component of Healius’ revenues is dependent upon service fees paid by health care professionals providing services to patients. If Healius is unable to successfully contract new health care professionals and retain
contracted health care professionals within Healius’ businesses, there may be adverse impacts on the growth prospects, the revenue earned, the cost structure and profitability of Healius’ businesses.
Healius’ revenue stream is heavily reliant upon general practitioner and specialist referrals for pathology and diagnostic imaging services. This is the case regardless of whether or not these referrers have a relationship with Healius.
Dependence upon
referrers
There is a risk that some doctors may reduce or end their requests for pathology or diagnostic imaging services from Healius. Such actions may be the result of a doctor referrer’s desire for change or prompted by the actions of
competitors of Healius. Such actions may have a material adverse effect on the financial performance, position and future prospects of Healius.
In certain circumstances, non-doctor referrers of Healius are able to influence the level of pathology or diagnostic imaging referrals made to Healius. Such non-doctor referrers include but are not limited to hospitals, insurance companies,
health funds and commercial entities. There is a risk that non-doctor clients may take actions that have the effect of reducing or ending the level of services requested from Healius.
Healius has embarked on a multi-pronged strategy to grow its business. This strategy and related initiatives may, in time, prove to be misguided, or may not be implemented effectively and result in an outcome that is detrimental to the
performance of Healius. For example, Healius has significant digital transformation projects underway, including:
1. new data platform with AI capability;
Healius’ business
strategies may not be
successful
2. AI partnership for tuberculosis screening;
3. AI driven cancer screening and detection;
4. Pathology Laboratory Information System (also known as Lab Portal);
5. patient-facing e-referral capability, patient portal/referral hub, collectors’ portal, and results portal (also known as results portal);
6. advanced scheduling and rostering systems; and
7. online booking systems for Lumus Imaging.
Ineffective implementation of these and other related digital projects may adversely impact the performance, growth and sustainability of Healius.

Key risks – Business risks

The current inflationary environment has negatively impacted on Healius Group’s cost base due to, among other things, increases in wages, property rents, consumables, third-party service costs and other overhead expenses. The current inflationary environment has also led to the volumes of general practitioner-referred (GP) pathology testing being more subdued in FY2023 due in part to some patients deferring GP visits due to costs. This has led to a softer year for core-GP-referred diagnostic services, which in turn has impacted the earnings of the Healius Group due to its greater exposure to the GP market relative to its peers and the fixed cost nature of its business.

Cost reset In order to seek to mitigate the impacts of inflationary pressures on its business, in FY2023 Healius completed a cost reset program which involved a headcount reduction and achieved procurement and other savings. While Healius Group has taken steps to seek to mitigate the impacts of inflationary pressures on its business, there is no guarantee that these steps have been successful or will be successful in the short to long term. In addition, the inflationary pressures may continue or worsen in the future. If Healius Group’s cost reset program is not successful or if inflationary pressures continue or worsen and Healius Group is unable to respond quickly and effectively, this may have a material adverse impact on Healius’ operations, earnings, financial position and performance. The payment of dividends on Healius shares is dependent on a range of factors including Healius' profitability, the availability of cash and capital requirements. Any future dividend levels will be determined by the Healius Board having regard to its operating results and financial position at the relevant time and the requirements of its banking covenants. Dividends As announced to the market on 30 August 2023, the Healius Board resolved not to pay a final dividend for FY2023. Healius has also determined that no dividends will be payable in respect of FY2024. The intention is to resume dividend payments as soon as practicable on the return of more normal market pathology volumes and improved operating cashflows. There is no guarantee that any dividends will be paid by Healius or, if paid, that they will be paid at previous levels. Healius has strategies in place to grow organically including through network enhancement, commercial and yield initiatives to extract maximum value from the network, improved consumer experience, development of internal expertise Organic growth and offerings and external partnerships centred around high-burden disease groups and new clinical domains. There are risks that these initiatives may prove unsuccessful and that the profitability and future earnings of Healius may be different from that assumed in Healius’ strategies. Healius has acquired a clinical trials business, Agilex, which depends on external funding of trials by external parties. Changes in the Australian regulatory and taxation environments affecting clinical trials businesses, or the availability of Agilex funding for external parties could adversely impact the growth potential and therefore the future profitability of Agilex. From time to time, Healius may seek growth through targeted and strategic bolt-on or other acquisitions when and if the opportunities to do so arise. While Healius will undertake an appropriate strategic assessment of, and will conduct due diligence enquiries in relation to, businesses it may seek to acquire, it is possible that the actual results achieved by any acquired business are different to those indicated by Healius’ analysis. It is also possible that Healius’ due diligence may not uncover all the potential liabilities associated with the businesses, or that the information provided to Healius during due diligence proves to be unreliable. Mergers & acquisitions In addition, there are risks that the integration of such businesses could be more complex than envisaged such that benefits may not be realised in the time anticipated, or at all. It is also possible that a lack of capability to effectively manage the acquisition process may lead to the failure of the transaction and a failure by Healius to acquire the target business. As a result, there is a risk that the profitability and future earnings of Healius may be different from that assumed in Healius’ strategic assessment of the opportunity. From time to time, Healius may provide customary warranties and indemnities to Third Parties in relation to the disposal of its businesses, including recently in the context of the disposals of Healius’ medical and dental centres, dental, Contingent liability for fertility and day hospitals businesses. It is possible that counterparties to those transactions may allege breach of those warranties and indemnities and, where the parties are unable to reach a satisfactory resolution, bring proceedings disposed businesses in relation to those breaches. Any liabilities for breaches of those warranties and indemnities may have a material adverse impact on the financial performance and position of the Healius Group. The buyer of Healius’ medical and dental centres has alleged certain breaches of warranties and indemnities which may ultimately result in the buyer bringing proceedings. From time to time, the Healius Group may become involved in claims, litigation, disputes and other legal proceedings (including tax-related litigation in relation to past activities), which may be with or without merit. If the Healius Group is Litigation and disputes involved in any claims, litigation, disputes or other legal proceedings, this may disrupt Healius’ business, cause Healius to incur significant legal costs and reputational damage, and/or may divert management’s attention away from the day-to-day operation of the business. This may in turn have a material adverse impact on Healius Group’s operations, financial position and performance.

Key risks – Business risks

Healthcare operators, including Healius through its provision of pathology and imaging services, are exposed to the risk of medical indemnity or like claims and litigation. While all laboratory test methods must meet scientifically rigorous
criteria before they can be used in clinical practice, there remains the possibility for inaccurate test results. Current or former patients may, in the normal course of business, start or threaten litigation for medical negligence against not
only the health service provider in question but also Healius.
Pathology testing may be subject to benchmarking by regulatory authorities, for example cervical and bowel cancer screening programs. In the event that benchmarks are not met, this may lead to further steps which may in turn result in
Medical indemnity claims financial or reputational risk to Healius.
and costs
Subject to the medical indemnity insurance arrangements which Healius has in place at the relevant time, future medical malpractice litigation, or threatened litigation, or regulatory action against Healius could be costly to deal with, result
in a substantial damages award or fine and divert the attention of management away from Healius’ operations, which could have an adverse effect on Healius’ financial performance and future prospects.
Further, if the costs of medical malpractice insurance were to rise (which may occur if the frequency of medical malpractice litigation were to increase or as a result of other factors), this could also have an adverse impact on Healius’
financial performance, and position and future prospects. If Healius is involved in actual or threatened litigation or regulatory action, the cost of such actions may also adversely affect Healius’ financial performance and future prospects.
Loss of key contracts Loss of significant commercial contracts (such as contracts with private health funds, public and private hospitals, employers and government) due to failure to meet required service levels, breach of contract or failure to secure the
contract when re-tendered may have an adverse impact on Healius’ future revenue, financial and operational performance.
The successful operation of Healius’ business relies on Healius’ ability to attract and retain experienced and high-performing key management and operating personnel to drive the execution of its strategy and business transformation.
The unexpected loss of any key members of management or operating personnel (including to competitors), or the inability on the part of Healius to attract experienced personnel, may adversely affect Healius’ ability to develop and
implement its business strategies and the ongoing implementation of the business transformation and may in turn adversely affect Healius’ future revenue and profitability and its prospects for growth. A loss of key staff may also result in
disruption and decreased performance and risk the loss of significant corporate knowledge and intellectual property.
New technologies and changing consumer perceptions are driving the need for specialist skillsets including analytics, digital expertise and cyber security. There is significant competition to recruit such talent, which can increase labour
costs and reduce profitability.
Attracting and retaining
key personnel A component of Lumus Imaging’s revenues are dependent upon service fees paid by independent radiologists providing services to patients. If Lumus Imaging is unable to successfully contract new radiologists and retain contracted
radiologists within its business, there may be adverse impacts on the growth prospects, the revenue earned, the cost structure and profitability of Lumus Imaging. This, in turn, may have an adverse impact on the financial performance,
position and future prospects of Healius.
Lumus Imaging relies technical professionals, such as radiographers, sonographers and nuclear medicine technologists to provide the core medical services associated with diagnostic imaging. There are some shortages of qualified
employees in the diagnostic imaging services industry, particularly in some of the regional markets that Lumus Imaging operates in. In the event that Lumus Imaging is not able to hire and retain a sufficient number of skilled employees,
or to do so at anticipated salary levels, this could have an adverse impact on Healius’ Group operations, financial position and future prospects.

Healius operates in markets with established competitors and faces competitive pressures. There is a risk that the actions of Healius’ current or future competitors will negatively affect Healius’ ability to attract and retain health care professionals or secure attractive locations for collection centres in its Pathology business. Competitors bidding up rents at collection centre sites or securing leases at those sites when Healius’ leases terminate could further increase rental costs. These events may adversely impact Healius’ financial performance through reduced revenues or increased costs.

Competition risks

Competition may also come from new disruptive technologies that may change the way services are delivered. The success of Healius' business is dependent on acquiring and maintaining an effective and competitive equipment base. The development of new technologies or refinements of existing modalities could make Healius' existing systems technologically or economically obsolete, or reduce the need or demand for its systems. In turn, this may require Healius to upgrade and enhance its existing equipment before it may otherwise intend. In addition, advances in technology may enable physicians and others to perform diagnostic imaging services currently undertaken by Healius.

Any failure by Healius to anticipate and respond to new technologies could materially adversely affect Healius' ability to deliver services in an efficient and effective manner, which could have a negative impact on Healius' financial performance and future prospects.

As a diagnostic and healthcare provider, Healius obtains sensitive clinical and financial information from its customers and patients. Healius understands that protection of privacy of individuals whose personal information is collected is paramount. Healius’ systems and databases are increasingly subject to security risks including cyber-attacks and data breaches. Healius has an ongoing programme to strengthen defences against unauthorised access and to protect clinical and financial data within these systems. Data management and cyber security Allegations of, or actual, unauthorised access or loss of sensitive data could occur by way of cyber-attack, data breach or actions by employees whether inadvertent or otherwise, resulting in a breach of Healius’ obligations under applicable laws or regulations, and legal or regulatory action against Healius could be initiated in connection with any such breaches. In addition, the breach could impact patient and other stakeholders’ satisfaction and confidence in Healius’ security arrangements. Any such allegations or breaches of laws or regulations could result in interruptions, delays, the loss or corruption of data, cessation in the availability of systems, all of which could have a material and adverse effect on Healius’ financial performance, position and future prospects or harm Healius’ business reputation. Healius relies on high utilisation rates of its imaging systems and other medical equipment in order to provide timely, effective service. Failures or breakdowns to equipment may take time to repair and may lead to a loss of revenue, for Failure of equipment and which warranty and maintenance contracts may not fully compensate Healius. Further, repairs and servicing may not be able to be performed in a timely manner. If Healius experiences greater than anticipated system malfunctions or if it machinery is unable to promptly obtain the service necessary to keep its systems functioning effectively, Healius' revenues could decline and its ability to provide services could be harmed. Work, health and safety Healthcare operators such as Healius are subject to extensive laws and regulations governing health and safety matters, protecting both the public and its employees. Any breach of these obligations could adversely affect the results of risk Healius and its reputation, and expose it to fines, penalties and claims for financial compensation or adverse regulatory consequences. A number of recent legislative amendments, court decisions and modern award variations have increased the complexity of the employee-relations landscape. Many of Healius’ employees are covered by modern awards, enterprise bargaining agreements and other workplace agreements, which periodically require classification assessment, or renegotiation and renewal. In relation to enterprise bargaining agreements and other workplace agreements, issues may Industrial relations and arise in the course of such renegotiations which may lead to strikes or other forms of industrial action that could disrupt Healius’ operations. Further, any such renegotiation could result in increased direct and indirect labour costs for Healius, particularly in circumstances of low unemployment or competition for personnel. Disputes may also arise over award classifications or interpretations. wage pressure Industrial action in laboratories, collection centres or by couriers has the ability to damage the reputation of the business on a state by state basis or nationally. There are also possible consequences for Healius arising from industrial disruption offshore where data entry services are sourced. If any of these events occur, it may adversely impact on the financial performance, position and future prospects of Healius. Healius currently maintains insurance within ranges of coverage including professional indemnity and general liability insurance. For workers compensation, Healius adopts an approach of self-insurance and purchasing insurance, on a Insurance state-by-state basis. However, no guarantee can be given that such insurance will be available in the future on commercially attractive terms, or that such cover will be adequate and available to cover claims. Healius may be unable to secure insurance to satisfactorily cover all anticipated risks or the cost of insurance may increase above anticipated levels. This may result in increased insurance payments by Healius or Healius being unable to insure certain business risks, which could adversely impact its operations. Healius’ ability to retain existing referrers, patients and contractual customers and to attract new referrers, patients and contractual customers is dependent on its experience, knowledge, skills, reputation and relationships. Reputational Damage to reputation damage could arise due to a number of circumstances, including error, malpractice or negligence of Healius’ employees, poor service levels delivered to customers, outdated facilities and equipment, adverse media coverage, litigation or and adverse publicity a breach of legislation.

There is no assurance that any such additional capital or funding will be available on favourable terms or at all and that Healius will be able to Inability to refinance debt comply with the terms of such facilities. If adequate funds are not available, Healius may not be able to achieve its performance targets or respond to competitive pressures. on attractive terms Healius may finance any investments with borrowed funds or gearing. Geared assets magnify investment gains or losses and increase the volatility of returns to movements in interest rates and property values. Adverse interest rate A significant adverse movement in interest rates could have an unacceptable impact on Healius’ earnings and impact its risk appetite in relation to its liquidity risk and market risk. Under Healius’ existing debt facilities, Healius borrows movements funds at floating interest rates plus a fixed margin, part of which may be required to be hedged by way of interest rate swaps into fixed rate payments. Changes in interest rates will affect Healius’ borrowings which bear interest at floating rates, to the extent they are unhedged.

Key risks – General risks

Pandemic risks Pandemics such as COVID-19 have impacted demand for traditional healthcare services. While Healius has adapted its service delivery to account for this shift in demand, future pandemics will continue to pose a significant risk to
Healius’ financial position, performance and future prospects. In addition, Healius may be unable to provide crucial services if people or facilities are impacted.
Healius is reliant upon the importation of consumables, such as reagents, personal protective equipment and other medical equipment. Prices and availability may impact the efficient operating of Healius’ services. Healius’ supply chain
Supply chain and modern may also be impacted by geopolitical events outside Healius’ control including, for example, an outbreak of hostilities, acts of terrorism and declarations of war.
slavery There is also a risk of modern slavery within these supply chains and within the Healius business generally. If Healius was to fail to comply with its modern slavery reporting requirements mandated by Australian regulations there may be
adverse consequences for Healius’ reputation, financial performance and future prospects.
Inflation may have a significant adverse impact on Healius’ financial performance where expenses such as third party service costs, interest rates, wages, property rents and other overhead expenses increase as a result of rising
inflation. While Healius monitors market conditions to ensure appropriate price increments are applied in line with an inflationary environment, expenses may increase at a rate faster than revenue, thus eroding overall profitability.
Inflation Current cost of living pressures and the relatively high inflation environment may lead to subdued patient GP attendance. This may be compounded by the introduction of co-payments for consultations, leading to reduced pathology and
imaging referrals. For some services, Healius also charges out-of-pocket fees, which may contribute to a general perception that healthcare services are expensive. Consequently, consumers may delay or not use services due to
affordability concerns, impacting volumes and revenue. These economic impacts could adversely impact the operating and financial performance of Healius.1
Healius incurs various expenses which may be outside its control in operating its businesses. Examples include rental and refurbishment costs, relocation costs where leases are not renewed, electricity, gas and water charges, and
Adverse movements in
operating costs
consumables used in the provision of medical services in Healius' facilities. Due to supply and demand issues affecting Healius' operating costs, Healius may be subject to increased costs which could lead to adverse effects on Healius'
business and its financial performance.
In addition, bad debts or delays in receiving expected revenue could impact on the financial performance and future prospects of Healius.
The price of Healius shares on ASX may rise or fall due to numerous factors, including:
1. Australian and international general economic conditions, including inflation rates, the level of economic activity, interest rates and currency exchange rates;
Investment in capital 2. geopolitical tensions and acts of terrorism in Australia and around the world; and
markets 3. investor perceptions in the local and global markets for listed securities.
Healius shares may trade below the price of the Entitlement Offer and no assurances can be given that Healius’ market performance will not be materially adversely affected by any such market fluctuations or factors. Neither Healius, nor
any of Healius’ Directors or any other person, guarantees Healius’ market performance.
Healius’ ability to raise funds from either debt or equity sources in the future depends on a number of factors, including the state of debt and equity markets, the general economic and political climate and the performance, reputation and
Funding financial strength of Healius. Changes to any of these underlying factors could lead to an increase in the cost of funding, limit the availability of funding, and increase the risk that Healius may not be able to refinance its debt and/or
interest rate or currency hedges before expiry or may not be able to refinance them on substantially the same terms.
Changes to accounting
standards
Australian accounting standards are set by the AASB. Changes to accounting standards issued by the AASB could materially adversely affect Healius' reported results in any given period or Healius' financial position from time to time.
Any change to the taxation of shares (including the taxation of dividends) and the taxation of companies (including the existing rate of company income tax) may adversely impact on Healius Shareholder returns, as may a change to the
Tax changes tax payable by Healius Shareholders in general. Any other changes to Australian tax law and practice that impact Healius, or the pathology or diagnostic imaging industry generally, could also have an adverse effect on Healius
Shareholder returns.
Healius recognises that climate change is a global issue. Climate change risks may be either ‘physical’ with financial implications resulting from potential damage to assets, ‘indirect’ through impacts from supply chain disruption, or
Climate change ‘transitional’ through changes to regulations and consumer behaviour. In the event of extreme weather conditions impacting operations, Healius has a network of facilities which can continue operations in alternative locations, however,
there may be an impact on the profitability of Healius if a significant climate event were to occur.
The operating and financial performance of Healius is influenced by a variety of general economic and business conditions, including inflation, interest rates and exchange rates, availability of appropriately skilled labour, supply and
General economic risks demand for its diagnostic services, industry disruption, access to debt and capital markets and government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies. Changes in general economic conditions could adversely impact the operating and
financial performance of Healius.

Key risks – Offer risks

Offer risk

There is a risk that the amount of proceeds that may be raised by Healius may be adversely impacted by one or more events which may or may not be within the control of Healius including in respect of the underwritten amount of the Entitlement Offer, or the Underwriter terminating the Underwriting Agreement in accordance with its terms (see further summary of a number of these termination events in ‘Underwriting Risk’) or the Entitlement Offer not proceeding in part or in its entirety. The occurrence of any of these may have a material adverse impact on the total amount of proceeds that could be raised by Healius (if any), which in turn would have a material adverse impact on Healius’ financial position and liquidity (including its ability to repay existing debt), with the result that the trading price of the Healius’ Group’s equity or debt securities could decline, and investors could lose all or part of their investment. These factors may also impact Healius’ ability to continue as a going concern.

See the “Takeover Offer risk” for further details on the impact that the Takeover Offer may have on the Entitlement Offer.

Healius is still subject to a highly conditional Takeover Offer from ACL. The issue of New Shares under the Institutional Entitlement Offer will enliven a condition which, if not waived by ACL, may cause the Takeover Offer to lapse. The Takeover Offer is subject to a large number of other conditions, a number of which have already been triggered and which may also cause the Takeover Offer to lapse. If the Takeover Offer lapses, holders of existing Healius shares will not have an opportunity to accept the Takeover Offer and receive scrip consideration from ACL in exchange for those New Shares under the terms of the Takeover Offer. See slide 26 for further details on the Takeover Offer, including the Healius Board’s unanimous recommendation that Healius shareholders reject the Takeover Offer.

Takeover Offer risk

In its current form, the Takeover Offer will not extend to the New Shares. However, if ACL wishes to proceed with its Takeover Offer, it may apply for relief from ASIC to extend the Takeover Offer to those New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer. There is no certainty or guarantee that ACL will determine to do this, or that ASIC will grant that relief. Healius has no control over this. The New Shares will trade separately from the main class of Healius shares until the earlier of the Takeover Offer ending and the extension of the Takeover Offer to the New Shares (if any). See the “Liquidity Risk” on slide 24 for further details on the risks associated with the New Shares trading separately. If the Takeover Offer is not extended to the New Shares, then holders of the New Shares will not be able to accept into the Takeover Offer and therefore will not have the same opportunity as other holders of existing Healius shares to receive scrip consideration from ACL in exchange for those New Shares under the terms of the Takeover Offer.

There is a risk that ACL or another third party may decide to make an application to the Takeovers Panel to restrain the Entitlement Offer proceeding. This may cause a delay in the Entitlement Offer timetable while the Takeovers Panel determines whether to conduct (or decline to conduct) proceedings and / or conducts proceedings. There is a risk that any Takeovers Panel proceedings (or any time taken to determine whether to conduct or decline to conduct proceedings) may delay the Entitlement Offer timetable to an extent that a termination right under the Underwriting Agreement is enlivened, which would allow the Underwriter to terminate in its discretion. There is also a risk that the Takeovers Panel makes an adverse finding that would either delay or prevent the Entitlement Offer from proceeding, either in its current form or altogether. See the “Offer risk” on slide 22 for further details on the material adverse impacts on Healius if the Entitlement Offer was not to proceed or if the Underwriting Agreement were to be terminated.

Underwriting risk

Barrenjoey Markets Pty Limited (ABN 66 636 976 059) (Barrenjoey) (Underwriter) will be acting as underwriter and lead manager and bookrunner to the Entitlement Offer. Healius entered into an underwriting agreement with the Underwriter in respect of the Entitlement Offer on 20 November 2023.

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter has agreed to underwrite the Entitlement Offer.

Key terms of the Underwriting Agreement

The Underwriter’s obligations under the Underwriting Agreement, including to underwrite and manage the Entitlement Offer, are conditional on certain matters, including (but not limited to) certain Offer Documents (defined below) being released within the required timeframes and certain other diligence-related deliverables being provided within the required timeframes.

If certain conditions are not satisfied or certain events occur, the Underwriter may terminate the Underwriting Agreement. Termination of the Underwriting Agreement by the Underwriter would have a material adverse impact on the total amount of proceeds that could be raised under the Entitlement Offer, which in turn would have a material adverse impact on Healius’ financial position.

Underwriting Agreement

The events which may trigger termination of the Underwriting Agreement include (but are not limited to) the following: i. failure to satisfy a condition precedent to the Underwriters’ underwriting obligations within the required timeframe; ii. a statement contained in the disclosure materials for the Entitlement Offer (Offer Documents) does not comply with the Corporations Act, including if a statement in any of the Offer Documents or in certain public information is or becomes misleading or deceptive in a material respect or is likely to mislead or deceive in a material respect, including by omission, or a material matter required to be included is omitted from an Offer Document;

iii. the terms and conditions of the Healius debt covenant waiver are materially breached, or the debt covenant waiver is withdrawn, rescinded, revoked (or become revocable, void or voidable), altered or amended in a material respect without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, or a condition precedent to which the debt covenant waiver is subject becomes impossible to be satisfied by its due date;

iv. except as addressed by the Healius debt covenant waiver, Healius’ existing debt facilities or any other material debt facility or other material financial accommodation is materially breached, terminated (or become void, voidable or unenforceable), rescinded, withdrawn or altered in a material respect or amended in a material respect without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, or a condition precedent to which it is subject has become impossible to be satisfied by its due date (unless the relevant condition precedent has been waived by the party or parties that have the benefit of the condition precedent in accordance with the relevant terms) or any event occurs which gives a lender or financier under Healius’ existing debt facilities or other material debt facility or other material financial accommodation the right to accelerate or require repayment of the debt or financing thereunder;

Healius also gives certain representations, warranties and undertakings to the Underwriter and an indemnity to the Underwriter and certain affiliated parties subject to certain carve-outs. As part of the undertakings, Healius has agreed to not for a prescribed period of time, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, allot or agree to allot or indicate in any way that it may or will allot or agree to allot any shares of Healius or other securities that are convertible or exchangeable into equity, or that represent the right to receive equity, of Healius, subject to certain exceptions.

Shortfall

The Underwriting Agreement provides that the Underwriter (and its affiliates) will not be required to take up any new shares in Healius to the extent that doing so would result in the Underwriter:

i. being obliged to notify the Treasurer under the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975 (Cth); ii. breaching section 606 of the Corporations Act, taking into account the number of shares in Healius then held by the Underwriter and/or its affiliates.

Underwriting Agreement

If the Underwriter is required to take up shares on issue which would otherwise cause it to breach or notify under these provisions then:

i. it will still fund the underwritten proceeds in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement by the relevant settlement date;
ii. the number of excess shortfall shares would be the aggregate of the number of shares in Healius to be issued under the Entitlement Offer less the number of shares that have been pre-committed or sub-underwritten and less the
number of shares that the Underwriter is able to take up without causing it to breach or notify under these provisions (Excess Shortfall Shares); and
iii. it would enter into an arrangement for any Excess Shortfall Shares to be issued to it, or to third party investors, after the close of the Entitlement Offer at the same price as the price of those shares under the Entitlement Offer.

No material impact on control is expected to arise as a consequence of these arrangements or from any shareholder taking up their entitlement under the Entitlement Offer where there is an excess shortfall.

The directors of Healius reserve the right to issue any shortfall (including any excess shortfall) under the Entitlement Offer at their discretion. Any excess shortfall may, subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, be allocated to the Underwriter or to third party investors as directed by the Underwriter. The basis of allocation of any other shortfall will be determined by the directors of Healius at their discretion, taking into account whether investors are existing shareholders, Healius register and any potential control or ownership restrictions impacts.

The Entitlement Offer rights cannot be traded on ASX or otherwise transferred.

Your percentage shareholding in Healius will be diluted if you do not participate to the full extent in the Entitlement Offer and you will not be exposed to future increases or decreases in the Healius share price in respect of the New Dilution Shares which would have been issued to you had you taken up your full entitlement under the Entitlement Offer; Similarly, if you are ineligible or unable to take up your full entitlement under the Entitlement Offer for a pro rata share, your percentage shareholding in Healius will be diluted and you will not be exposed to future increases or decreases in Healius’ share price in respect of those New Shares that would have been issued had been eligible to participate or take up your full entitlement under the Entitlement Offer. As noted on slide 13, ASX has confirmed that, as a result of the Takeover Offer, the New Shares will be issued under a separate ticker, expected to be “HLSNB”. The New Shares will trade separately from the main class of Healius shares and potentially at a different price (which may be higher or lower). The New Shares cannot be accepted into the Takeover Offer and are not fungible with the Healius shares on issue at the date of this Presentation. This will be the case until the earlier of the Takeover Offer ending and the extension of the Takeover Offer to the New Shares (which is not guaranteed – see the “Takeover Offer” risk for further details), when ASX will fold the New Shares into the Liquidity risk main class of Healius shares. The Takeover Offer is currently scheduled to end on 29 February 2024. Healius Shareholders who wish to sell their New Shares may be unable to do so at an acceptable price, or at all, if insufficient liquidity exists in the market for those New Shares. Healius does not guarantee the market price or liquidity of any Healius shares, including the New Shares, and there is a risk that you may lose some or all of the money you invested.

ACL Takeover Offer

Healius is still subject to a highly conditional scrip off-market takeover bid ( Takeover Offer ) from Australian Clinical Labs Limited ( ACL ). For the reasons set out in the Target’s Statement issued by Healius in response to the Takeover Offer, the Healius Board has unanimously recommended that Healius shareholders reject the Takeover Offer.

The Entitlement Offer will enliven the ‘Prescribed Occurrences Condition’ of the Takeover Offer which is triggered upon new issues of new shares by Healius during the Takeover Offer period[1] . Unless the triggered condition is waived by ACL, this may cause the Takeover Offer to lapse.

The Healius Board has carefully considered the potential impact of the Entitlement Offer on the Takeover Offer. Ultimately, notwithstanding the potential for the Takeover Offer to lapse, the Healius Board strongly believes that undertaking the Entitlement Offer at this time is in the best interests of Healius shareholders in order to reset the balance sheet with appropriate gearing. In coming to this view, the Healius Board has had particular regard to the following factors:

  • There is a strong possibility that the Takeover Offer may lapse in any event and not ultimately be available to Healius shareholders given that:

  • the Takeover Offer is conditional on ACCC approval and Healius continues to believe that it is unlikely that approval will be granted, based on the ACCC highlighting three ‘red lights’ (issues of concern) and one ‘amber light’ (issues that may raise concerns) in relation to the Takeover Offer and forming the preliminary view that the proposed acquisition would be likely to substantially lessen competition in multiple areas;

  • the Takeover Offer has a 90% minimum acceptance condition, but it is apparent that fewer than 1% of Healius shareholders have accepted the Takeover Offer in the 7 months it has been open and two of Healius’ largest shareholders (Perpetual and Tanarra, who together own approximately 23% of Healius) indicated that they did not support the Takeover Offer; and

  • 6 of the other conditions to the Takeover Offer have already been triggered and ACL has not elected to waive those conditions.

  • It remains open to ACL, if it wishes, to submit a revised offer for Healius at an exchange ratio that takes into account the expanded capital base, such that there will be no prejudice to ACL from the Entitlement Offer proceeding[2] .

Healius notes that, in its current form, the Takeover Offer will not extend to Healius shares issued under the Entitlement Offer. As noted above, ASX intends to establish a separate quoted class of securities for those New Shares (‘ HLSNB ’) so that they are not intermingled with existing Healius shares that are subject to the Takeover Offer. However, if ACL wishes to proceed with its Takeover Offer, it may apply for relief from ASIC to extend the Takeover Offer to those Healius shares issued under the Entitlement Offer.

See also liquidity risk on slide 24.

Notes: (1) See condition set out at section 11.9(o)(iv) of ACL’s Bidder’s Statement; (2) Healius is willing to consent to, and support, any application for relief made by ACL to enable the Takeover Offer to remain on foot (with adjustments to take account of the Entitlement Offer).

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES

Successful Completion of Institutional Entitlement Offer

Healius Limited (ASX:HLS) ( Healius ) is pleased to announce the successful completion of the fully underwritten institutional component of its 1 for 3.65 pro-rata accelerated nonrenounceable entitlement offer ( Institutional Entitlement Offer ) of new fully paid ordinary shares ( New Shares ) as announced on Monday, 20 November 2023 ( Entitlement Offer or Equity Raising ).

The Institutional Entitlement Offer raised a total of approximately A$154 million at A$1.20 per New Share ( Offer Price ). The Institutional Entitlement Offer was well supported by existing Healius institutional shareholders with approximately 92% of entitlements available to eligible institutional shareholders taken up.

Entitlements not taken up by eligible institutional shareholders and entitlements of ineligible institutional shareholders were sold at the A$1.20 Offer Price.

Settlement of the New Shares issued as part of the Institutional Entitlement Offer is expected to occur on Thursday, 30 November 2023, with the issue of those New Shares expected to occur and ordinary trading to commence on Friday, 1 December 2023.

The New Shares will rank equally with existing shares on issue. Healius has requested its trading halt be lifted and for its shares to recommence trading from market open today.[1]

Retail Entitlement Offer

The fully underwritten retail component of the Entitlement Offer ( Retail Entitlement Offer ) will raise approximately A$33 million.

Eligible retail shareholders in Australia and New Zealand as at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on Thursday, 23 November 2023 ( Record Date ) will be invited to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer at the same Offer Price and offer ratio as under the Institutional Entitlement Offer.

1 ASX has confirmed that, as a result of the off-market takeover bid ( Takeover Offer ) from Australian Clinical Labs Limited ( ACL ), the New Shares will be issued under a separate ticker, expected to be ‘HLSNB’. The New Shares will trade separately from the main class of Healius shares (unless the Takeover Offer lapses or ACL obtains relief from ASIC to extend the Takeover Offer to the New Shares). When the Takeover Offer ends or if ACL obtains relief from ASIC to extend the Takeover Offer to the New Shares, ASX will fold the New Shares into the main class of Healius shares. The Takeover Offer is currently scheduled to end on 29 February 2024.

The Retail Entitlement Offer will open on Tuesday, 28 November 2023 and close at 5:00pm (Sydney time) on Thursday, 7 December 2023. Further information about the Retail Entitlement Offer will be set out in a retail offer booklet ( Retail Offer Booklet ) which Healius expects to lodge with ASX and despatched or otherwise made available on Tuesday, 28 November 2023. Eligible retail shareholders are encouraged to read the Retail Offer Booklet in its entirety, in particular, the risk factors, and should seek financial advice if they are uncertain of whether or not to participate. Eligible retail shareholders can choose to take up all, part or none of their entitlement.

Eligible retail shareholders that take up their full entitlement may also apply for additional New Shares in excess of their entitlement (up to 25% of their entitlement and subject to scale-back, at Healius’ discretion).

All Directors who are existing shareholders on the Record Date have committed to take up their pro rata entitlements under the Retail Entitlement Offer.

Further information

Further information regarding the Entitlement Offer is contained in the investor presentation released to ASX on Monday, 20 November 2023.

5.2 DATE OF THIS RETAIL OFFER BOOKLET

This Retail Offer Booklet is dated Tuesday, 28 November 2023. Subject to the following paragraph, statements in this Retail Offer Booklet are made only as of the date of this Retail Offer Booklet unless otherwise stated and the information in this Retail Offer Booklet remains subject to change without notice. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Healius is not responsible for updating this Retail Offer Booklet.

The ASX announcements set out in Section 4 of this Retail Offer Booklet are current as at the date on which they were released. There may be additional announcements that are made by Healius (including on or after the date of those announcements) that may be relevant to your consideration of whether to take up your Entitlement and apply for Additional New Shares. Therefore, it is prudent that you check whether any further announcements have been made by Healius before submitting an Application or paying your Application Money. That information is available to the public from ASX and can be accessed at www.asx.com.au.

5.3 RANKING OF NEW SHARES

The New Shares issued under the Retail Entitlement Offer will be fully paid and rank equally with Existing Shares with effect from their date of issue.

ASX has confirmed that, as a result of the Takeover Offer from ACL, the New Shares will be issued under a separate ticker, expected to be “HLSNB”. The New Shares will trade separately from the main class of Healius fully paid ordinary shares (unless the Takeover Offer lapses or ACL obtains relief from ASIC to extend the Takeover Offer to the New Shares). When the Takeover Offer ends, or if ACL obtains relief from ASIC to extend the Takeover Offer to the New Shares, ASX will fold the New Shares into the main class of Healius fully paid ordinary shares. The Takeover Offer is currently scheduled to end on 29 February 2024. For further details on the impact of the Entitlement Offer on the Takeover Offer, see the announcement released by Healius to ASX on Monday, 20 November 2023 (see Section 4 of this Retail Offer Booklet).

ASX has confirmed that, as a result of the Takeover Offer from ACL, the New Shares will be issued under a separate ticker, expected to be “HLSNB”. The New Shares will trade separately from the main class of Healius fully paid ordinary shares (unless the Takeover Offer lapses or ACL obtains relief from ASIC to extend the Takeover Offer to the New Shares). When the Takeover Offer ends, or if ACL obtains relief from ASIC to extend the Takeover Offer to the New Shares, ASX will fold the New Shares into the main class of Healius fully paid ordinary shares. The Takeover Offer is currently scheduled to end on 29 February 2024. For further details on the impact of the Entitlement Offer on the Takeover Offer, see the announcement released by Healius to ASX on Monday, 20 November 2023 (see Section 4 of this Retail Offer Booklet).

Application Money will be held by Healius on trust for Applicants until the New Shares are allotted. No interest will be paid on Application Money, and any interest earned on Application Money will be for the benefit of Healius and will be retained by Healius irrespective of whether New Shares are issued.

It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine the number of New Shares allotted and issued to them prior to trading in such Shares. The sale by an Applicant of New Shares prior to receiving their holding statement is at the Applicant's own risk.

To the maximum extent permitted by law and except in the case of its fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct, Healius, the Underwriter and the Share Registry and their respective Beneficiaries disclaim all liability in respect of persons who trade New Shares they believe have been issued to them before receiving their holding statements, whether on the basis of confirmation of the allocation or issue provided by Healius, the Underwriter or the Share Registry or otherwise, or who otherwise trade or purport to trade New Shares in error or which they do not hold or are not entitled to.

5.5 UNDERWRITING

The Underwriter is acting as underwriter, lead manager and bookrunner to the Offer. Healius entered into an Underwriting Agreement with the Underwriter in respect of the Offer on Monday 20 November 2023 ( Underwriting Agreement ).

For a summary of the key terms of the Underwriting Agreement see slides 22 to 24 of the Investor Presentation (see Section 4 of this Retail Offer Booklet).

5.6 CONTINUOUS DISCLOSURE

Healius is a “disclosing entity” under the Corporations Act and is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, including the preparation of annual reports and half yearly reports.

Healius is required to notify ASX of information about specific events and matters as they arise for the purposes of ASX making that information available to the securities markets conducted by ASX. In particular, Healius has an obligation under the Listing Rules (subject to certain exceptions) to notify ASX immediately of any information of which it is or becomes aware which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of Healius Shares. That information is available to the public from ASX and can be accessed at www.asx.com.au.

5.7 NO COOLING OFF RIGHTS

Cooling off rights do not apply to an investment in New Shares. You cannot withdraw your Application once it has been made or accepted.

5.8 ROUNDING OF ENTITLEMENTS

Where fractions arise in the calculation of an Entitlement, they will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares.

5.9 NOT FINANCIAL PRODUCT OR INVESTMENT ADVICE

This Retail Offer Booklet (including the Entitlement and Acceptance Form) is for information purposes only and is not a prospectus, disclosure document or other offering document under the Corporations Act or any other law and has not been lodged with ASIC. It is also not financial product or investment advice or a recommendation to acquire New Shares and has been prepared without taking into account your objectives, financial circumstances or particular needs. This Retail Offer Booklet should not be considered to be comprehensive and does not purport to contain all the information that you may require to make a decision about whether to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer and invest in New Shares. This Retail Offer Booklet should be read in conjunction with Healius’ other periodic statements and continuous disclosure announcements lodged with ASX which are available at www.asx.com.au.

Before making an investment decision, you should consider the appropriateness of the information in this Retail Offer Booklet having regard to your own objectives, financial situation and needs and seek legal and taxation advice appropriate to your jurisdiction. If you have any questions about whether you should participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer, you should seek professional financial advice before making any investment decision. Healius is not licensed to provide financial product advice in respect of New Shares.

5.10 FINANCIAL DATA

All dollar values are in Australian dollars ($A).

All financial data is presented as at 30 June 2023 unless otherwise stated.

5.11 INELIGIBLE SHAREHOLDERS

All Shareholders who do not satisfy the criteria to be Eligible Retail Shareholders or Eligible Institutional Shareholders are Ineligible Shareholders. Ineligible Shareholders are not entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer unless Healius otherwise determines.

The restrictions upon eligibility to participate in the Entitlement Offer arise because Healius has determined, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.7.1(a) and section 9A(3)(a) of the Corporations Act, that it would be unreasonable to extend the Entitlement Offer to Ineligible Shareholders. This decision has been made after taking into account the legal and regulatory requirements in certain countries, the relatively small number of Ineligible Shareholders in certain countries, the number and value of New Shares to which those Ineligible Shareholders would otherwise be entitled and the cost of complying with applicable laws and the requirements of any regulatory authority in jurisdictions outside Australia and New Zealand.

Healius, in its discretion, may extend the Entitlement Offer to any Shareholder if it is satisfied that the Entitlement Offer may be made to the Shareholder in compliance with all applicable laws.

6 AUSTRALIAN TAXATION CONSEQUENCES

Below is a general guide to the Australian income tax, GST and stamp duty implications of the Retail Entitlement Offer for Eligible Retail Shareholders that hold their New Shares on capital account. In addition, the guide below applies only to Eligible Retail Shareholders who are Australian tax resident individuals, companies or complying superannuation entities. The guide does not apply to Eligible Retail Shareholders who:

  • (a) hold Shares as revenue assets or trading stock (which will generally be the case if you are a bank, insurance company, carry on a business of share trading or have made certain elections under the Taxation of Financial Arrangements regime in Division 230 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 ), or are exempt from Australian income tax;

  • (b) acquired the Shares in respect of which their Entitlements are issued under any employee share scheme or where New Shares are acquired pursuant to any employee share scheme; or

  • (c) may be subject to special tax rules, such as insurance companies, partnerships, tax exempt organisations, trusts (except where expressly stated), non-complying superannuation funds (except where expressly stated) or temporary residents.

The guide does not take account of the individual circumstances of particular Eligible Retail Shareholders and does not constitute tax advice. It does not purport to be a complete analysis of the potential tax consequences of the Retail Entitlement Offer and is intended as a general guide to the Australian income tax, GST and stamp duty implications. Eligible Retail Shareholders should seek advice from an appropriate professional adviser in relation to the tax implications of the Retail Entitlement Offer based on their own individual circumstances.

The comments below are based on the Australian tax law as it applies as at 5.00pm (Sydney time) on Tuesday, 28 November 2023. Other than as expressly discussed or specified, the comments do not take into account or anticipate changes in Australian tax law or future judicial interpretations of law after this time. The comments also do not take into account tax legislation of any country other than Australia.

6.1 ISSUE OF ENTITLEMENT

The issue of the Entitlement should be non-assessable non-exempt income and should not, in itself, result in any amount being included in the assessable income of an Eligible Retail Shareholder.

6.2 EXERCISE OF ENTITLEMENT

New Shares (other than Additional New Shares) will be acquired where the Eligible Retail Shareholder exercises all or part of their Entitlement under the Retail Entitlement Offer. Eligible Retail Shareholders may also acquire Additional New Shares under the Oversubscription Facility.

An Eligible Retail Shareholder should not derive any assessable income, or make any capital gain or capital loss, at the time of exercising their Entitlement (in full or in part) under the Retail Entitlement Offer.

For Australian CGT purposes, New Shares issued pursuant to the Retail Entitlement Offer will be taken to have been acquired no later than the day that the New Shares are issued to an Eligible Retail Shareholder. The cost base of each New Share should be equal to the Offer Price payable for each New Share plus certain non-deductible incidental costs the Eligible Retail Shareholder incurs in acquiring, holding and disposing of them.

6.3 LAPSE OF ENTITLEMENT

If an Eligible Retail Shareholder does not accept all or part of their Entitlement in accordance with the instructions set out above, then that Entitlement will lapse and the Eligible Retail Shareholder will not receive any consideration for their Entitlement that is not taken up. There should be no tax implications for an Eligible Retail Shareholder from the lapse of the Entitlement.

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES

72

6.4 TAXATION IN RESPECT OF DIVIDENDS ON NEW SHARES

Any future dividends or other distributions made in respect of New Shares will be subject to the same income taxation treatment as dividends or other distributions made on Existing Shares held in the same circumstances.

6.5 DISPOSAL OF NEW SHARES

The disposal of New Shares should constitute a disposal for CGT purposes.

On disposal of a New Share, an Eligible Retail Shareholder will make a capital gain if the capital proceeds received on disposal exceed the cost base of the relevant New Share. An Eligible Retail Shareholder will make a capital loss if the capital proceeds are less than the reduced cost base of the New Share.

Eligible Retail Shareholders that are individuals, trusts or complying superannuation entities and that have held their New Shares for 12 months[24] or more at the time of disposal should be entitled to apply the applicable CGT discount factor to reduce the capital gain (after offsetting capital losses). The CGT discount factor is 50% for individuals and trusts and 33⅓% for complying superannuation entities.

Eligible Retail Shareholders will be taken to have acquired New Shares no later than the day the New Shares are issued to the Eligible Retail Shareholder. Accordingly, to be eligible for the CGT discount, the New Shares must be held for at least 12 months[25] after the date of acquisition for CGT purposes, which should be no later than the time that the New Shares are issued to the Eligible Retail Shareholder.

If Eligible Retail Shareholders make a capital loss, they can only use that capital loss to offset capital gains made from other sources (ie the capital loss cannot be applied against taxable income on revenue account). However, if the capital loss cannot be used in a particular income year, then it can be carried forward to use in future income years, provided certain tests are satisfied.

6.6 PROVISION OF TFN AND/OR ABN

Healius may be required to withhold tax from Eligible Retail Shareholders on payments of dividends that are not fully franked, at the specified rate, and remit such amounts to the Australian Taxation Office, unless the Eligible Retail Shareholders have provided an Australian Business Number ( ABN ), Tax File Number ( TFN ), or they have informed Healius that they are exempt from quoting their ABN or TFN.

Eligible Retail Shareholders are not required to provide their ABN or TFN to Healius, however they may choose to do so.

STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL – DO NOT FORWARD – NOT FOR RELEASE OR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES

Dear Eligible Retail Shareholder Tuesday, 28 November 2023

HEALIUS LIMITED – RETAIL ENTITLEMENT OFFER OPEN

On Monday, 20 November 2023, Healius Limited (ABN 24 064 530 516) ( Healius ) announced that it was conducting a fully underwritten[1] 1 for 3.65 pro-rata accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer of new fully paid ordinary shares in Healius ( New Shares ) to raise approximately A$187 million ( Offer ).

As announced on Wednesday, 22 November 2023, Healius has successfully completed the institutional component of the Offer ( Institutional Entitlement Offer ), which raised approximately A$154 million[2] .

The Retail Entitlement Offer (defined below) is now open and on behalf of the Board, I am pleased to offer you the opportunity to participate.

The proceeds of the Offer will be used to reduce Healius’ net debt and reset its balance sheet with appropriate gearing.

For further information, please refer to Healius’ releases to the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ) dated Monday, 20 November 2023 and Wednesday, 22 November 2023 available on www.asx.com.au, as well as any subsequent announcements.

KEY FEATURES OF THE RETAIL ENTITLEMENT OFFER

The key features of the retail component of the Offer ( Retail Entitlement Offer ) are:

  • 1 ELIGIBILITY – Participation in the Retail Entitlement Offer is entirely optional and is open to Eligible Retail Shareholders (defined below). You will be considered an Eligible Retail Shareholder and will be able to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer if:

  • you are registered as a holder of existing fully paid ordinary shares in Healius ( Existing Shares ) on Healius’ share register on the record date, being 7.00pm (Sydney time) on Thursday, 23 November 2023 ( Record Date );

1 Refer to “Shortfall” on page 24 of the investor presentation released by Healius to ASX on Monday, 20 November 2023 ( Investor Presentation ) for a description of the terms and conditions of the underwriting arrangements.

2 This amount is current as at Wednesday, 22 November 2023 and is subject to final reconciliations being determined under the Institutional Entitlement Offer.

916CR_0_Sample_CA/000001/000001

  • you have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand on the Record Date as noted on Healius’ share register or are a person that Healius has determined in its discretion is an Eligible Retail Shareholder;

  • you are not in the United States and are not acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States (to the extent you hold fully paid ordinary shares in Healius and act for the account or benefit of any person in the United States);

  • Healius determines in its discretion that you did not receive an invitation to participate in, or were otherwise ineligible to participate in, the Institutional Entitlement Offer and were not treated as an “Ineligible Institutional Shareholder” under the Institutional Entitlement Offer (other than as a nominee, trustee or custodian, in each case in respect of other underlying holdings); and

  • you are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Retail Entitlement Offer without a prospectus or other disclosure document or any lodgement, filing, registration or qualification,

provided (for the avoidance of doubt) that if a shareholder of Healius (including a nominee, trustee or custodian) is acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States, it may not participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer on behalf of that person.

See Section 3.14 of the Retail Offer Booklet for the notice to nominees, trustees and custodians.

2

ENTITLEMENT – Eligible Retail Shareholders can subscribe for 1 New Share for every 3.65 Existing Shares in Healius they hold[3] as at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on Thursday, 23 November 2023 (being the Record Date) at an issue price of A$1.20 per New Share. Eligible Retail Shareholders who take up their full entitlement may also apply for additional New Shares in excess of their entitlement under the oversubscription facility (up to a maximum of 25% of their entitlement[4] and subject to availability and scale-back, in Healius’ and the underwriter’s absolute discretion).

Your entitlement may have value and it is important that you determine whether to take up or do nothing in respect of your entitlement. The Offer is non-renounceable, which means your entitlements will not be tradeable on ASX or any other exchange, they cannot be sold, and they cannot be privately transferred or otherwise disposed of. This means that Eligible Retail Shareholders who do not take up their full entitlement under the Retail Entitlement Offer will not receive any payment or value for those entitlements not taken up and their percentage holding in Healius will be reduced accordingly.

3 OFFER PRICE – Under the Retail Entitlement Offer, Eligible Retail Shareholders have the opportunity to invest at the same price as the institutional investors who participated in the Institutional Entitlement Offer, being A$1.20 per New Share.

HOW TO ACCESS THE RETAIL ENTITLEMENT OFFER

This letter does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities in the United States. No action has been or will be taken to register, qualify or otherwise permit a public offering of the New Shares in any jurisdiction outside Australia or New Zealand. In particular, neither the entitlements nor the New Shares have been, or will be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the U.S. Securities Act ) or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States. Accordingly, the New Shares may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, to persons in the United States, except in a transaction exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States. The New Shares to be offered and sold in the Retail Entitlement Offer may only be offered and sold to persons that are not in the United States and are not acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States, in each case in “offshore transactions” (as defined in Rule 902(h) under the U.S. Securities Act) in reliance on Regulation S.
