SKN enters into $20 million equity funding facility

SKN has entered into an equity funding facility agreement ( Agreement ) with LDA Capital, under which LDA Capital has agreed to provide Skin Elements with up to $20 million in committed equity capital over the next 36 months.

The Agreement enables Skin Elements to issue shares to LDA Capital over the next three years at the Company’s discretion at a floor price to be determined by Skin Elements and receive funds for the issue of those shares.

The Agreement allows Skin Elements to access committed equity capital on a flexible basis by managing the timing and size of each capital drawdown. The Agreement ensures that Company has access to additional equity capital as required to support its growth into new markets, support existing sales channels and fund the anticipated commercial scale sales and distribution opportunities for Invisi Shield® and the Company’s other product lines.

Research & Development Rebate

With the Company focus of development of its natural antimicrobial technologies, SKN has received approval from AusIndustry for the 2021 R&D Tax Rebate of $989k which is expected to be received presently.

Entitlement Issue to raise $2 million

The Company will also be undertaking a non-underwritten non-renounceable pro rata entitlement issue at an issue price of $0.08 per share on the basis of one (1) new shares for every fifteen (15) ordinary shares held. Shareholders who subscribe for the entitlement issue will also receive one attaching listed option for every two new shares issued, exercisable at $0.10 and expiring 3 years after the date of issue.

Under the entitlement issue up to 25,298,484 shares and 12,649,242 attached options will be issued to raise up to $2,023,879 (before costs). An updated timetable has been announced with the issue completed in October 2021, subject to SKN recommencing trading on ASX.

Summary of Operating Cashflows

Whilst SKN has continued to finalise its Invisi Shield® natural sanitiser and disinfectant products during the quarter, the impact of COVID-19 restrictions has seen delay of orders from national and international distributors for its range of skincare products with restrictions on travel which reduced ability to meet with distributors and new customers. Additionally, the Company has also experienced increased costs and shipment timeframes for national and international freight, and delayed production and the delivery of inventories.

==> picture [511 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

The Company’s research and development focus is reflected in the operating cashflows including customer receipts of $47k, and cash outflows of $882k including $691k invested in research and development. Product manufacturing, marketing, and overheads make up the balance as detailed in the Appendix 4C, resulting in net cash used in operating activities of $835k for the quarter and cash on hand of $287k. Since balance date, the Company has received $789k from R&D tax rebate advance.

Included in the operational cash outflows for the quarter is $72k paid to entities associated with the Directors for executive services and directors’ services in accordance with services agreements, details of which have been disclosed in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report.

Sales and Manufacturing

SKN is well positioned to continue growth in sales through its online channels with current inventory on hand including:

  • 37,000 units of the expanded Soleo Organics sunscreen ranges including high performance, everyday, face and coconut.

  • 9,800 units of its PapayaActivs therapeutic range.
