Immuron to Repay Outstanding Convertible Note in Cash

Melbourne, Australia, 18 July, 2016: Immuron Limited (ASX:IMC), is pleased to announce that following the Company’s recent Rights Issue raising of $5.33M which received strong support from both existing shareholders and new investors, the Company will be able to execute its commitment to shareholders to repay all future obligations pertaining to the Sea Otter Convertible Note in cash, rather than via the issuance of new securities.

In February 2016, the Company received a Convertible Note facility of up to $1.7M of interim funding from US-based Investment Fund Sea Otter whilst the Company finalised its capital raising campaign in Australia.

As at today, the Convertible Note liability is $1,130,000 which is repayable in equal amounts over the next 15 months. Under the Agreement, whilst repaying the Convertible note in cash attracts a 2.5% repayment premium, the Company believes this to be the optimal option as the alternative is to repay the tranches via the issuance of new shares at a price equal to a 10% discount to the VWAP of the lowest 5 trading days in the prior months trading.

As the company now has the funding to repay the convertible note tranches in cash, this is advantageous for shareholders as it has a non-dilutive effect on their ownership percentage.

Immuron CEO Mr Thomas Liquard said;

“We have been fortunate to work with Sea Otter and are thankful to them that they were able to provide us with the interim funding facility we needed to provide us with near-term financial flexibility.

As per our Rights Issue commitment to our shareholders, we will now repay all future obligations for this Convertible Note in cash which will be advantageous to all shareholders.”
