NuSep Announces a Bonus Issue and SPP Update
Sydney, Australia 20[th] June 2011 - NuSep (ASX: NSP) The Board of Nusep wishes to advise the market that it has resolved to propose a bonus option issue, subject to shareholder approval.
The Board will hold a General Meeting of shareholders on Wednesday 31[st] August 2011 to consider a motion to approve a pro rata 1:2 bonus issue of 15¢ share options with an exercise date of 31[st] March 2012. NuSep will apply to the ASX to have these bonus 15¢ share options listed.
As a result of this proposal the Board has also resolved to replace the recently announced SPP with a Share Purchase Offer ( SPO ) which will require the Company to prepare a prospectus so that successful participants under the SPO can also receive the proposed 1:2 bonus 15¢ share options.

About SingaPharm
SingaPharm is a Singapore based biotech company that has developed a disposable procedure for the processing of plasma proteins. SingaPharm is currently a wholly owned subsidiary of NuSep Holdings Limited (ASX: NSP). SingaPharm’s process is based on the Pr eparative I solation by M embrane
– 3 –
E lectrophoresis (PrIME) technology developed by NuSep. PrIME provides disposable modular processing that is ‘electronically’ driven membrane fractionation.
This process is flexible and modular compared with the large scale inflexible processing facilities of existing fractionators in US and Europe. The process has increased product yield relative to the existing process with increased product safety. The flexible nature of the PrIME technology also provides SingaPharm with access to plasma volumes that previously did not meet the criteria for larger scale processing facilities. Further, SingaPharm’s process can produce multiple plasma products in hours compared to days, which is required by the current manufacturers.
