12.5% to the 5 day volume weighted average price for trades on ASX prior to the date of this announcement. The offer will raise a maximum of $1.475 million from the issue of up to 14.75 million shares.
An Attaching Option will be issued to all shareholders who participate in the SPP on a 1 for 2 basis, to reward them for their ongoing support of the Company. The Attaching Options will have an exercise price of $0.25 each and an expiry date of 31 January 2010. Attaching Options will not be transferable immediately from their date of issue; however, it is the intention of the Company to apply for the Attaching Options to be listed on the ASX, provided spread requirements under the ASX Listing Rules are able to be satisfied.
Only shareholders on the record date having an address on the Company’s register in Australia or New Zealand will be eligible to participate in the SPP.
All new shares issued under the SPP will rank equally in all respects with the Company’s fully paid ordinary shares quoted on ASX.
Shareholder approval is not required for the issue of new shares under the SPP, nor for the issue of Attaching Options, and will not be sought.
Use of Funds
The funds raised via the SPP will be used to fast track the expansion of the company’s SecureTouch range of products and to ensure that SafetyMed continues to meet its milestones and is able to explore market opportunities and secure them as quickly as possible.
In particular, funds raised under the offer will be used to construct an additional SecureTouch assembly machine, allowing the Company to expand the range of its SecureTouch Retractable syringe sizes to 2ml, 3ml and 5ml. Increasing the product range will enable SafetyMed to widen its marketing approach and attract a greater market share.
SafetyMed is heading into its most exciting growth phase since listing and is expecting to produce its maiden revenue streams in the second half of 2008.
SafetyMed is also developing a suite of other safety products with a view to releasing these into the market over the coming 12 to 18 months, with the funds raised facilitating the development of these products.
