Share Placement Successfully Raises $1.8m

  • Orthocell successfully completes a A$1.8 million Placement

  • Placement was oversubscribed with support from existing shareholders, senior management and new institutional and wholesale investors

  • Funds raised to be used to drive sales of CelGro® into the EU and progress key regulatory approvals

Perth, Australia; 11 December 2018 : Regenerative medicine company Orthocell Limited (ASX:OCC, “Orthocell”, or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed a A$1.8m oversubscribed placement (“Placement”) to professional and sophisticated investors across Australia and Asia, including existing shareholders.

The funds raised, in combination with cash reserves, will be used to accelerate market entry of CelGro® for dental bone and soft tissue repair into European markets; progress key regulatory approvals in the US and other target jurisdictions; and support continued business development and marketing initiatives.

Orthocell Managing Director Paul Anderson said: “The transaction illustrates the endorsement of Orthocell’s business strategy, progress in commercialising CelGro® in Europe and the exciting outlook. Orthocell is well placed to continue driving sales of CelGro® into key European markets, leveraging the CE-mark in the US regulatory approval process and introducing other key indications to market.”

The Placement will be achieved through the issue of approximately 10,592,008 shares at an offer price of A$0.17 per share, with 1-for-1 free attaching option (exercisable at A$0.25 expiring 31 December 2021). The offer price (excluding the option) represents a discount of 8.1% to the last close and a 11.7% discount to the 5-day volume weight average price (“VWAP”) of A$0.1926.

Shares issued under the Placement will be fully paid ordinary shares in the Company. The issue of shares and options will be undertaken in a single tranche with the shares being issued within the Company’s existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A. The attaching options will be issued within the Company’s existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1. All Placement shares issued will rank equally with existing ordinary shares. The offer price of A$0.17 meets the requirement of ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.3, being greater than 75% of the 15-day VWAP. Settlement is expected to occur on Monday 17 December 2018.

As a result of this announcement, Orthocell will resume trading from the commencement of trading today. PAC Partners Securities Pty Ltd acted as the Lead Manager to the Placement.
