==> picture [449 x 204] intentionally omitted <==
A Non-Renounceable 2:7 Entitlements Issue at $0.06 per Share to Raise $1.25 Million.
Underwritten by Taylor Collison Limited
Dear Fellow SciDev Shareholder
I refer to the Company’s announcement to the ASX on 13 February 2019 in which details were advised of the Company’s proposed 2:7 non-renounceable entitlements issue (the Entitlements Issue ) and am pleased to now provide to you the formal Entitlements Issue offer documentation and acceptance form.
In addition, I refer you to the Company’s announcement to ASX on 11 February 2019, which announced the securing of exclusive distribution and marketing rights from the Nuoer Group and an associated investment by Nuoer Group nominees. Below is a summary of the Nuoer Group transaction:
-
The Nuoer Group is based in China and is the world’s second largest producer of water-soluble polymers. The Nuoer Group’s products are used in a wide variety of industrial applications in a market valued at >$8 billion annually;
-
The Company has issued 1,666,667 shares at a price of $0.06 per share to acquire the distribution and marketing rights for Nuoer Group products in Australia and other Oceanic countries;
-
The Nuoer Group transaction aligns the Company’s business development strategy, which is using its OptiFlox® technology to execute aggressive growth plans with a global leader in the manufacture of water-soluble polymers; and
-
As part of the Nuoer Group transaction, Nuoer Group nominees subscribed for 5,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.06 per share to raise $300,000 of working capital for the Company.
Further information in relation to both the Nuoer Group transaction and an associated $1.25 million placement being conducted in tandem with the Entitlements Issue are available in the ASX announcements referred to earlier.
Proposed Use of Funds
The Company expects to raise approximately $ 1.25 million under the Entitlements Issue. In conjunction with the Entitlements Issue the Company is carrying out a placement to raise $1.25 million and the combined $2.5 million (less costs) will be used to support the Company’s aggressive growth plans expanding both its domestic and international activities.
Details of the Offer
Under the Entitlements Issue you may subscribe for 2 new SciDev shares for every 7 SciDev shares held by you as at 18 February 2019 (the Record Date ), at an issue price of $0.06 (6 cents) per share (the Issue Price ). For example, if you hold 1,000 SciDev shares as at the Record date you will be entitled to subscribe for a maximum of 286 new SciDev shares at the Issue Price.
A personalised Entitlements Issue acceptance form is attached herewith. Please follow the instructions on that form and contact Boardroom Pty Limited on the number provided in the event of any question.
In the event any fractions of shares occur as a result of the subscription under the Entitlements Issue, your eventual shareholding will be rounded up to the nearest whole number. You may subscribe for some or all of your entitlement under the Entitlements Issue.
Taylor Collison Limited have agreed to act as Lead Manager and Underwriter to the Entitlements Issue. Allocation of any shortfall under the Entitlements Issue is at the discretion of the Company’s directors in consultation with Taylor Collison Limited, provided that if any shareholder who takes up shares in addition to their pro-rata entitlement would as a result hold greater than 19.9% of the shares in the Company following completion of the Entitlements Issue then the number of additional shares that they would be issued would be scaled back so that they do not hold greater than 19.9%.
2
The maximum number of shares to be issued under the Entitlements Issue is 20,947,264 assuming none of the 3,950,000 options on issue are exercised. If all the 3,950,000 options are exercised, then a further 1,128,572 ordinary shares may be issued under the Entitlements Offer. The Company does not expect any of the options to be exercised. The Shares offered under the Entitlements Issue are in the same class of Shares held by you and the Company will seek their quotation on the ASX. A pro-forma capital structure of the Company assuming completion of the Entitlements Issue and completion of the share placements referred to earlier herein is provided below.
