SHARE PURCHASE PLAN
Offer opens today and SPP offer booklet despatched to eligible shareholders
Adelaide, Australia, 4 February 2021: Australian hi-tech company Micro-X Ltd (ASX:MX1) ( Micro-X or the Company ), a leader in cold cathode x-ray technology for the healthcare and security markets globally, is pleased to announce that the offer under the Share Purchase Plan announced on 1 February 2021 ( SPP ) opens today. SPP offer booklets have today been despatched to eligible shareholders.
The SPP allows eligible shareholders to each subscribe for up to $30,000 worth of new ordinary shares in the Company at 34 cents per share, without incurring brokerage or other transaction costs. The SPP price is the same as the issue price per share in the recent $30.5 million placement announced on 1 February 2021.
The SPP is targeted to raise $2.5 million and is not underwritten. The $2.5 million target is the estimated amount the Company believes balances the likely demand for the SPP offer and an amount sufficient to provide existing shareholders with a reasonable opportunity to participate in the capital raising at the same price as the Placement. The directors have reserved the right to accept oversubscriptions under the SPP to ensure all eligible shareholders have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the SPP.
The SPP offer is scheduled to close on 17 February 2021, unless closed earlier by the Company in the case of excess demand. Any level of oversubscriptions not accepted will be scaled back on a pro rata basis to each participant based on the number of securities validly applied for. In the event your application is scaled-back, excess application monies will be refunded to the applicant by cheque, as soon as practicable following the allocation date.
Eligible shareholders wishing to participate in the SPP may either make payment via BPAY® or through returning their personalised application form along with a cheque. If paying by BPAY® you will need to use the personalised reference number, which is required to identify your shareholding and may be obtained:
a) from your personalised Application Form which will accompany the offer document you receive via post; or b) available online at www.investorcentre.com by logging in with your SRN/HIN.
A copy of the SPP offer booklet and a sample application form is attached .
This announcement is approved by the Board of Micro-X.

Chair’s Letter
4 February 2021
Dear Shareholder,
On behalf of the Directors of Micro-X Limited ( Company ), I am pleased to offer you the opportunity to participate in the Company's Share Purchase Plan ( SPP ). The SPP invites Eligible Shareholders to subscribe for up to $30,000 worth of new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company ( New Shares ), without incurring brokerage or other transaction costs ( SPP Offer ).
The SPP aims to raise up to $2,500,000 at an issue price of $0.34 per New Share ( Issue Price ) (representing 7,352,941 New Shares).
The SPP opens on Thursday, 4 February 2021 and is expected to close at 5:00pm (Adelaide time) on Wednesday, 17 February 2021. New Shares are expected to be issued and commence trading on the ASX on Thursday, 25 February 2021.
On 1 February 2021, the Company also announced it has secured commitments to raise approximately $30.5 million by way of a placement of new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company, at the same issue price of $0.34 per share ( Placement ). The Placement received significant demand and the Company is pleased with the support of many existing shareholders and welcomes a number of new institutional shareholders to the register. The funds raised from the SPP Offer will be in addition to the funds raised by the Company in the Placement.
Update on operations and funding requirements
As outlined in the Company’s Quarterly Activities Report and Appendix 4C filed with the ASX on 20 January 2021, there have been a number of recent achievements from a commercial and product development perspective.
The Company’s Mobile DR products achieved over $5 million of sales in calendar year 2020 with $4.2 million of sales of the Carestream Nano in the hospital market and the sale of $1.3 million of the Micro-X proprietary Rover unit to Pacific Islands countries with the support of the World Health Organisation. The first military contract to supply $1.3 million of Rover units to the Australian Defence Force was also signed. A change to the Carestream distribution relationship to a non-exclusive one has also allowed the Company to seek new sales channels and partners for the Mobile DR units.
The Company’s future product portfolio has also continued to advance. Two contracts totalling up to US$4 million have recently been awarded to the Company’s US subsidiary, Micro-X Inc., by the United States Department of Homeland Security as part of their Airport Self Service Check-in programme, subject to the achievement of certain milestones in order for each award to be made to Micro-X Inc.. The Company is in the process of negotiating formal contracts in relation to the awards. The mobile backscatter imaging product for security applications in detecting improvised explosive devices, has also achieved a major design breakthrough which will significantly shorten the time and cost to market with cost savings of approximately $6.5 million.
The Company has adopted four strategic objectives which are underpinned by the funds raised in the Placement, being:
-
Additional sales and marketing infrastructure to accelerate Mobile DR sales;
-
Building the US footprint to better access customers – this includes a new Seattle office to support the US Transportation Security Agency (TSA) project and to drive US military and healthcare sales;
-
Insourcing the IED camera x-ray tube to develop the MBI security prototype in 12 months. This will also end the Company's technical collaboration with Thales and require repayment by the Company of the $5 million convertible loan to Thales; and
-
6 -
-
Strengthen the balance sheet and build supporting infrastructure when required to reduce commercialisation risks. The Placement is intended to support the Company's activities into 2023.
Use of proceeds
The funds raised under the SPP Offer will be applied towards expansion of Micro-X Inc. in the United States; accelerated sales activities for the Mobile DR and MBI products; marketing and promotion; scale up of infrastructure; insourcing of the MBI tube development; repayment of Thales loan; working capital and costs of the SPP Offer.
Details of the Offer
This Offer Booklet, including the enclosed Terms and Conditions, sets out the terms of the SPP Offer.
Issue Price
The Issue Price represents a 7.3% discount to the five (5) day volume weighted market price of Shares of the Company traded over the period up to the last trading day prior to the Announcement Date of $0.367 per Share as at 27 January 2021.
There is a risk that the market price of Shares may rise or fall between the Record Date, the Announcement Date, the date of this Offer Booklet, the date on which you send in the Application Form or make a payment by BPAY® and the Issue Date. This means that the price that you pay per New Share pursuant to the SPP Offer may be either higher or lower than the market price of the Shares at the Opening Date or at the time the New Shares are allotted, or otherwise allocated, to you under the SPP Offer. Accordingly, you should seek your own independent financial advice in relation to this Offer Booklet and your participation in the SPP Offer and check the current trading price of Shares before making a decision in relation to the SPP Offer.
The SPP Offer is made in accordance with ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547, which imposes limitations on the amount that can be invested by an Eligible Shareholder if that Eligible Shareholder holds Shares in more than one capacity, or has received Shares under a share purchase plan or similar arrangement in the 12 months prior to the application. I strongly recommend that you read and understand section 8 of the Terms and Conditions before making an application for New Shares.
Participation
The Terms and Conditions of the SPP are provided in this Offer Booklet. I urge you to read and carefully consider these materials in their entirety, and seek your own financial and taxation advice in relation to the SPP before you decide whether to participate. If you do not wish to participate in the SPP Offer, you do not need to take any action.
On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Company, I thank you for your ongoing support of the Company and look forward to your participation in the SPP Offer.
Yours sincerely,
