ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
Sale of Uscom Business
30 September 2025
Uscom Limited ( Uscom ) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement ( Agreement ), subject to shareholder approval, to sell the whole of its businesses and assets to a Singapore based VCC investment company, AXO Medtech VCC ( AXO ).
Uscom intends to call a meeting of shareholders in early November 2025 to consider, and if appropriate, approve the sale pursuant to the Agreement. Completion is to occur within 14 days after Uscom obtains the approval of its shareholders in a general meeting.
Background
Uscom has incurred losses and had negative cash flow for a number of years. Uscom has had difficulty in being able to raise sufficient cash in the Australian market as an ASX-listed company to develop its global operations. Not raising sufficient cash has prevented Uscom from being able to develop the key elements of its business so as to become profitable, including building inventory and developing and enhancing its products.
Due to its operations being largely based in China and Singapore, the sale of the Uscom assets and businesses to a Singapore based investment fund is, in the opinion of the directors, the strategy that will most likely allow the Uscom business to raise the capital to enable it to transform into a profitable business.
Terms of the agreement
Under the Agreement, Uscom has agreed, subject to shareholder approval, to sell all of the shares in its 100% subsidiary, Uscom Sng Pte. Ltd ( UCM SNG ). UCM SNG either directly or through its subsidiaries, owns all of the Uscom IP and owns all of the assets used in the worldwide Uscom business. At the date of this Notice, UCM SNG has approximately 60 full time employees located in Singapore, Australia, China and Hungary.
The consideration for the sale of the UCM SNG shares is $2.591 million, to be settled on completion. The consideration of $2.591 million will be settled by transferring to UCM SNG the liability of Uscom totalling $1.591 million owed to Prof Phillips (Uscom chairman) and $1 million to Jetan Pty Limited (a substantial shareholder of Uscom). Therefore, upon sale of UCM SNG, Uscom will have cash assets of approximately $200,000, a small amount of trade assets and liabilities and no other business assets.
A summary of the material terms of the Agreement are:
-
Uscom Limited will sell all of the shares in its 100% subsidiary, UCM SNG to AXO.
-
The consideration to be received by Uscom Limited is $2.591 million, to be settled on completion by transferring to UCM SNG the loans totalling $2.591 outstanding from Uscom to Prof Phillips and Jetan Pty Limited.
-
The conditions precedent includes the obtaining of all regulatory approvals and the issue of participation shares by AXO to fund the future operations of UCM SNG and its subsidiaries.
-
• The other conditions in the agreement are customary for a transaction of this nature.

-
carry on the current Uscom business;

Future intentions of Uscom
On the assumption that shareholders of Uscom approve the sale of UCM SNG, Uscom will have cash of approximately $200,000 and a small amount of trade assets and liabilities and no other assets after settlement takes place. At that time, subject to compliance with the ASX Listing Rules and further consultation with the ASX, Uscom will request the ASX to lift the current suspension on trading in Uscom shares and request that the shares in Uscom not be suspended for a period of up to 6 months from the date of this announcement. During that period, it is expected that the Board of Uscom will determine whether the Company is wound up with all cash returned to shareholders or alternatively, the Company makes a further acquisition of a business or other asset.
This announcement is approved for release to the ASX by the Board of Uscom Limited.
