MICRO-X $16.5M PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Funding for Nano commercialisation, launch of Rover and MBI development

Adelaide, Australia, 19 November 2019 : Australian high-tech company Micro-X Ltd (ASX: MX1) ( Micro-X or the Company ) a leader in cold cathode x-ray technology for health and security markets globally, is pleased to announce that it has received commitments totalling approximately $16.5 million ( Placement ), for new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company at 20 cents per share ( Placement Shares ).

The Placement was targeted to raise $12 million to $15 million and the Company reserved the right to accept oversubscriptions in the Placement. As the Placement was well oversubscribed the Company increased the Placement by 10% to $16.5 million. The Company is pleased to welcome a number of new institutional and sophisticated investors as shareholders in addition to the support of a number of existing shareholders. Two of the Directors have also committed to subscribe for $0.35 million of Placement Shares, with the allotment to Directors being subject to shareholder approval.

The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Placement to fund the ongoing commercialisation of the Nano product and the launch of the Rover for the military market targeted for 2020 with associated capex and inventory. Additionally, proceeds will be applied towards engineering development of the MBI product, working capital and costs associated with the Placement. Approximately $2.81 million of the proceeds will be applied towards redemption of the April 2018 Convertible Notes.

The Company Presentation used in marketing for the Placement is attached .

Morgans Corporate was engaged as Lead Manager for the Placement with Hawkesbury Partners as Co-Arranger and Financial Advisor.

Details of the Placement

The key terms of the Placement are as follows:

  • Approximately 82.5 million Placement Shares at $0.20 per Placement Share to raise approximately $16.5 million.

  • The issue price of the Placement Shares represents a:

  • 25.0% discount to the last traded price of 25 cents on 1 November 2019; and

  • 24.8% discount to the 5-day volume weighted average price ( VWAP ), 29.3% discount to the 15-day VWAP immediately prior to the date of the Placement.

  • The Placement will take place in two tranches with:

  • approximately 12.4 million Placement shares (approximately $2.5 million) to be issued under the remainder of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, which will be issued on or about Monday 25 November 2019; and

  • approximately 70.1 million Placement shares (approximately $14.0 million) to be issued subject to shareholder approval.

  • Two of the Company’s Directors have subscribed in the Placement, for a total of 1.75 million Placement Shares ($0.35 million), which subscriptions are also subject to shareholder approval. These shares will fall into tranche two of the Placement.

  • A majority of the holders of convertible notes issued in April 2018 ( April 2018 Notes ) have subscribed for a total of approximately 28.1 million Placement Shares (approximately $5.6 million), with each holder subscribing for

==> picture [128 x 37] intentionally omitted <==

Placement Shares equal to 200% of the face value of their Notes. The Placement, once approved by shareholders, will satisfy the requirement of a Future Capital Raising under the terms of the April 2018 Notes. Accordingly, the Company will effect a redemption of approximately $2.8 million of Notes on closing the Placement. These Placement Shares will fall into tranche two of the Placement.

  • Shareholder approval will be sought at an Extraordinary General Meeting that is scheduled to take place on or about 19 December 2019. The approval by shareholders of the convertible security issued to Thales in July 2019 pursuant to the Thales Loan Agreement (details of which were disclosed to the market on 15 November 2019), will also be sought at the same Extraordinary General Meeting.

  • The Placement was available to investors in Australia who qualified as professional or sophisticated investors under the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and sophisticated and professional investors in select other jurisdictions. Placement Shares will rank equally with existing ordinary shares of the Company.

  • As the Company’s shares have been suspended from trading on the ASX for more than 5 days in the last 12 months, a transaction specific Prospectus will be lodged with the ASX and ASIC on or about 19 November 2019, being a date prior to the proposed allotment of the first tranche of Placement Shares.

Peter Rowland, Managing Director of Micro-X commented:

“We are very pleased to have attracted this level of investor commitments and the number of new shareholders joining the share register is particularly pleasing as we transition into our next phase of ramping up commercialisation. This funding allows us to execute on our exciting plans without the need to be raising again in the short term. We have also tidied up our balance sheet with the redemption of almost all of the April 2018 Notes and the recently announced repayment of the $3 million secured R&D Loan.

Our focus is on commercial achievements and the funds raised will allow us to push ahead with our Nano roll-out and deliver meaningful levels of sales in the coming year. We are also able to progress towards completing the first generation version of the Rover and attracting two key military customers within the next twelve months. We can also fully support our engagement with Thales on the MBI and future airport screening products”

Next Generation Airport X-Ray screening – ‘ high speed ’ and ‘ self service

High speed – Airport 3D X-ray conveyor*

Self service checkpoint X-ray model*

  • Latest ECAC Detection Standards 3 & 4

  • Secondary screening at boarding gate

  • Screen up to 1,200 bags p/h (currently 200)

  • Concept uses backscatter and 3D imaging to provide low false alarm rate

  • Automated threat detection software

  • Thales to fund development and take to market

  • Completed Proof of Concept imaging test for UK Government Future Airport Security Solutions

  • Enables next-generation checkpoint protocols- self service for check-in and X-ray screening

  • Another large and growing market

  • Large and growing addressable market

Thales partnership & $10m investment

==> picture [100 x 19] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [622 x 6] intentionally omitted <==

Technology partnership with a global leader in defence and aircraft security

• $10M investment via loan facility

  • $5m cash already received July 2019 on completion

  • Subject to EGM approval (to be sought by end 2019), Thales has option to convert loan to shares after July 2024

  • Micro-X can elect to repay loan rather than issue shares to Thales

  • Contract design and licensing of Airport Checkpoint Security Imaging

• Distribution for MBI in Defence/ security - outside Five-Eyes countries

  • Australia, US, UK, Canada and New Zealand

• Contract manufacture of future miniature X-ray tubes

“….we are at the birth of a new technology evolution. CNT is a game changer in so many fields but none offer such practical and quantifiable benefits as in the X-ray imaging market. From airport checkpoints to counter terrorism activities to future medical imaging devices, Thales and Micro-X are at the cusp of an historical moment. This partnership will give us a technological leap that no one else in this industry has.” Jean Jacques Guittard, Thales Vice-President, Electron Devices
