Cervical cancer screening technology company, TruScreen Group Limited (NZX: TRU) advises that it intends to undertake a capital raising initiative, by way of a public offer, to raise up to a maximum of NZD$2 million (“Offer”) in conjunction with the dual listing of its shares on the ASX.

An application will shortly be made to ASX, after the Product Disclosure Statement (“PDS”) in support of the Offer has been lodged on the Offer Register, for TruScreen to be admitted to the Official List of ASX as an ASX Foreign Exempt Listing and for quotation of the new shares to be offered in Australia on the ASX. If TruScreen is admitted to the official list of ASX, then those Australian based investors in the Offer will have their Shares quoted on the ASX.

Purpose of the Offer

The purpose of the Offer is to raise not less than NZ$1.0 million and not more than NZ$ 2 million of new capital through the issue of up to a maximum of 28,571,428 million new ordinary fully paid shares in TruScreen at an issue price of NZD 7 cents (AUD 6.5 cents).

The money raised under the Offer will be applied towards the following initiatives:

  • Investment in team capabilities for business expansion;

  • Establish device manufacturing in China for Chinese operations;

  • Reduce the cost of the product via R&D initiatives;

  • Market development through market access/medical affairs capability;

  • Costs associated with the Offer and dual listing; and

  • General working capital.

This Offer is conditional upon the ASX approving the admission of the Company to the Official List of the ASX as an ASX Foreign Exempt Listing and for quotation of the Shares on the ASX on or before that Closing Date (as that date may be varied from time to time).

About TruScreen:

==> picture [155 x 169] intentionally omitted <==

TruScreen cervical cancer screening device offers the latest technology in cervical screening, providing realtime, accurate detection of precancerous and cancerous cervical cells to help improve the health and well-being of women around the world.

TruScreen’s real-time cervical cancer technology utilises a digital wand which is placed on the surface of the cervix to measure electrical and optical signals from the surrounding tissues. A sophisticated proprietary algorithm framework is utilised to detect pre-cancerous change, or cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia (CIN), by optical and electrical measurement of cervical tissue.

TruScreen offers an alternative approach to cervical screening, resolving many of the ongoing issues with conventional Pap tests, including failed samples, poor patient follow-up, patient discomfort and the need for supporting laboratory infrastructure. As such, TruScreen’s target market is low and middle-income countries where no large-scale cervical cancer screening programs and infrastructure are in place, such as China, Mexico, Africa, Russia and India. TruScreen’s cervical cancer screening device is CE-marked and certified for use throughout Europe and CFDA approved for sale in China. The global market potential for TruScreen is significant.
