ASX Announcement Release Code: PRR
8 April 2013
SHARE PURCHASE PLAN UPDATE
Prima BioMed Ltd (“Prima” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its planned Share Purchase Plan (“SPP”).
Having taken into account potential market conditions and feedback from its shareholders, the Company has changed the way in which the offer price for the new fully paid ordinary shares in Prima offered under the SPP (“New Shares”) will be calculated. The offer price per New Share will be equal to a 5% discount to the volume weighted average price of Prima shares on ASX (“VWAP”) during the ten (10) trading days prior to the day on which the New Shares issued under the SPP are issued (which is expected to be Friday, 17 May 2013) (“Offer Price”).
As previously advised, the Company intends to offer New Shares under the nonunderwritten SPP to eligible shareholders to raise up to approximately A$15 million. Each eligible shareholder will be entitled to subscribe for up to A$15,000 worth of New Shares (irrespective of the number of holdings). The number of New Shares issued to each shareholder will depend on the final Offer Price. The offer will incur no brokerage and transaction costs.
The Company expects to submit a booklet containing the terms and conditions of the SPP (“SPP Booklet”) to ASX by 11 April 2013 and subsequently mail the SPP Booklet to each eligible shareholder of record as of 28 March 2013.
All other terms of the planned SPP and entitlement offer of listed options to acquire new shares in Prima, as announced by the Company on 2 April 2013, remain unchanged.
It is important that each shareholder carefully review the SPP Booklet as well as all Company information as announced to the ASX. Shareholders should seek independent and qualified legal and/or financial advice before making an investment.
The Company does not plan any further material changes to the SPP or the planned entitlement offer of listed options.
