Perth, Australia, 12 July 2019: BARD1 Life Sciences Limited (ASX:BD1) ( BARD1 or the Company ), a medtech company developing non-invasive cancer diagnostics, is pleased to announce the successful completion of the entire $7.5 million capital raising package as announced on 18 June 2019.
BARD1 Chief Executive Officer, Dr Leearne Hinch, said that completing the announced $7.5 million funding package together with its strengthened Board, positions the Company to execute on its growth strategy with a cash at bank of $10.146 million as at 12/7/19.
“We now have a significantly enhanced funding capacity at BARD1, alongside a renewed board and strong strategic shareholder base, giving us the financial firepower, shareholder support, and Board expertise to assist in delivering our clear vision of building a leading Australian cancer diagnostics company. I’d like to thank all new and existing investors who supported the funding package,” Dr Hinch said.
Completion of the package comes from the issue of a total of 124,289,854 New Shares at a price of $0.02 under the Company’s non-renounceable Entitlement Issue announced on 18 June 2019. This figure is made up of:

Max Johnston and Philip Powell, both highly successful Health Care industry directors, were also previously appointed to strengthen the Board, to help guide the growth strategy, planned expansion of the management team, relocation to the east coast of Australia and commercialisation going forward.
All shares issued under the Entitlement Issue will rank equally in all respects with the existing fully paid ordinary shares of the Company. The Company now has 1,367,185,026 Shares on issue.
