ASX Release
NON-RENOUNCEABLE ENTITLEMENT ISSUE (the “OFFER”)
Sydney Tuesday 23 February 2016
NuSep Holdings Limited ( ASX: NSP ) (the Company ) refers to its announcements on 15 and 16 February 2016 and notes the following:
-
The Placement Options Application Form included in the Prospectus and announced to the ASX on 15 February contained a rounding error in the exercise price where the exercise price of $0.016 was rounded to $0.02. A copy of the Placement Options Application Form with the correct exercise price of $0.016 is attached and this is what will be dispatched to relevant shareholders.
-
The Notice with details of the Non-renounceable Entitlement offer mailed to Shareholders on 16 February contained two typographical errors. The first paragraph in the Notice incorrectly referred to the amount being raised through the rights issue of $284,617,002 – the correct amount is up to around $2.846 million. The second paragraph incorrectly referred to the directors underwriting up to $955,571 – the correct statement is that the directors are sub-underwriting to the extent of $955,571. A copy of the corrected 16 February Notice to shareholders is attached.
The timetable for the Offer has been amended such that the date for commencement of trading of the New Shares on ASX on a normal basis is now 14 March 2016, not 15 March 2016. The Notice that was sent to shareholders has been amended accordingly.
A Notice with details of the Non-renounceable Entitlement offer was mailed to Optionholders on 15 February 2016. As stated above in relation to the Notice to Shareholders, the Optionholder Notice referred to 15 March as the date for the commencement of trading. The date in the Optionholder Notice has now been updated to 14 March and is shown in the attached.

Dear Shareholder,
NON-RENOUNCEABLE RIGHTS ISSUE
We write to you as a registered holder of NuSep Limited (“NSP”) or the (“Company”) shares as at today’s date. As announced on 15 February 2016 NuSep Limited will undertake a non-renounceable pro-rata rights issue of one (1) share for every one (1) share held at A$0.01 per share to raise up to approximately $2.846 million before costs (“Rights Issue”). Funds raised will be applied towards settlement of debts and creditors, product development, working capital and costs of the Entitlement Offer.
Entities associated with the Company’s Chairman and several large shareholders, including the directors, have sub-underwritten any rights not subscribed for to the extent of $955,571. Transocean Securities has been appointed to underwrite the offer.
We are raising funds to develop the next generation SpermSep device. SpermSep selects the most viable sperm for both the human and animal applications using the Company’s core separation technology. The next generation device will utilise a new membrane material that is more bio-compatible, easier and cheaper to make at scale than the prior membrane.
We will also continue our work with new membranes which will have application to other valuable bioseparations.
“Memphasys” will shortly become the new Company name. This name reflects the future emphasis we are putting on our membrane separation systems and signifies a clear break from the past.
Pricing of the Entitlement Offer has been set to offer excellent value to attract new capital for growth. A revitalised investor base is anticipated to build a vibrant market for our Shares over time as we achieve value adding milestones.
We welcome Shareholders to participate in growing the inherent value that lies within NuSep by taking up their rights in this Entitlement Offer.
Shareholders eligible to participate in the Rights Issue will be those Shareholders with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand as at 7:00pm AEST on the record date of 19 February 2016 (“Record Date”). The Company has determined that it would be unreasonable to extend the offer to participate in the Rights Issue to Shareholders in other jurisdictions having regard to the number of holders in those jurisdictions, the number and value of shares those holders would be offered under the Rights Issue, and the costs of complying with the legal requirements and requirements of regulatory authorities in those jurisdictions.
