Memphasys Limited (ASX: MEM) (“Memphasys” or “the Company”) advises that it has appointed new corporate advisors, Platinum Road Pty Ltd “(Platinum Road”) and it is raising immediate funding of $940,000 through the issue of secured convertible notes.
The funding is a mix of new capital and the conversion of debts owed by the Company into convertible notes. Platinum Road’s mandate is renewable but initially for at term of two months and is for the purposes of assisting Memphasys to raise funds and to give strategic and marketing advice.
The Company has terminated the mandate of former corporate advisors, Transocean Securities, and the consulting services of Dr Robert Gilmour.
The Executive Chairman, Alison Coutts and a Non-Executive Director, Andrew Goodall are each contributing $450,000 and Professor John Aitken of the University of Newcastle is contributing $40,000 as conversion of consulting fees. Professor Aitken is the creator of Memphasys’ lead product, SpermSep, and is Head of Memphasys’ Scientific Advisory Committee.
The convertibility of the notes will be subject to approval by shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11 at a shareholder general meeting. The issue of the convertible notes will be subject to the ASX granting a waiver under Listing Rule 10.1
The key terms of the convertible notes are as follows: Term: 2 years Interest: 10% per annum, payable monthly in arrears Conversion: 0.6 cents per share
The funding will be used for working capital, primarily to assist in the development of the next generation SpermSep device, and to fund litigation against PrIME and Manukan in Singapore.
