Shareholder Share Purchase Plan
The Directors of Immuron Limited (“Company”) are pleased to announce that the company is making an offer to eligible shareholders to participate in the Company’s 2010 Shareholder Purchase Plan (“Plan”).
Under the Plan, Eligible Members who held Immuron Limited shares at 7.00pm, Melbourne time on 16 April 2010 , will be able to purchase up to $15,000 worth of new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company ("Shares"), being $15,000 less the amount subscribed for shares (if any) a particular Eligible Member was issued pursuant to the Company's 18 June 2009 Shareholder Share Purchase Plan. This offer is irrespective of the number of Shares an Eligible Member currently holds. The Company will be issuing the Shares under ASIC Regulatory Guide 125 and its ASX Listing Rule 7.1 15% allowance.
The issue price for shares offered under the Plan will be 6.5 cents per share , which represents approximately a 20 % discount to the volume weighted average market price of the Company’s shares for the five trading days immediately preceding the announcement of the offer on 16 April 2010 .
The Plan allows Immuron shareholders to acquire the Shares without brokerage or costs which would otherwise apply to a purchase of Shares on the Australian Stock Exchange.
It is proposed that a maximum of 24,000,000 shares will be issued under the Plan although the Directors have an absolute discretion to accept an increased amount or to scale back oversubscriptions on a pro rata basis. The proposed offer of shares under the Plan is not underwritten.
Shareholder approval is not required to issue shares under this Plan. Therefore, Eligible Members are encouraged to act quickly if they wish to participate in the Plan.
Intention of Directors
Each Director holding shares in the Company and residing in Australia intends to take part in the Plan.
Purpose of the Offer
The offer under the Plan is being made to Eligible Members to provide them with the opportunity to acquire shares which will assist in the funding of Research & Development with particular focus on the clinical assessment of oral immunotherapy now underway at the Hadassah Medical Centre in Israel and the development of a influenza preventative treatment both in Melbourne and Jerusalem.
