What will happen
if Shareholders
give, or do not
give, approval?
If shareholder approval is obtained
If Resolution 3 is approved by shareholders, the Company will be able to complete its
Second Placement of Shares to raise up to $20 million (before costs). Under such
circumstances, and subject to:
(a) the successful completion of the Entitlement Offer; and
(b) the Company raising sufficient funds from investors under the Second Placement,
the Company will be able to complete the Pain Away Acquisition (assuming the
conditions precedent under the Sale Agreement are satisfied or waived) prior to the
sunset date of 31 July 2023. In addition, if Resolution 3 is approved by shareholders,
the Second Placement Shares will beexcludedfrom the Company’s calculations of its
15% Placement Capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the
number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12
month period following the relevant issue date.
If shareholder approval is not obtained
If Resolution 3 is not approved by shareholders, the Company will explore alternative
fundraising options in order to raise the funds necessary to pay the purchase price of
the Pain Away Acquisition, including debt capital raising options. If the Company is
unable to raise the necessary funds in an alternative manner, the Company may be
unable to fund the purchase price of the Pain Away Acquisition, which would result in
termination of the Sale Agreement (and forfeiture of the $2.2 million deposit paid by
the Company on execution of the Sale Agreement).
Board
Recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of this
resolution.
Chairman’s
available proxies
The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of
Resolution 3.
