Details of the Entitlement Offer

On 3 September 2024, The Company announced its intention to undertake a pro rata accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer (Entitlement Offer), to raise up to approximately A$10.0 million (before costs) at a price of A$0.038 (3.8 cents) per fully paid ordinary share (Share), on the basis of 1 new Share for every 1.82 Shares held as at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on the record date of Friday, 6 September 2024 (Record Date).

The offer price of A$0.038 per Share represents a 17.4% discount to the last closing Share price of $0.046 (as at 3 September 2024) and a 12.0% discount to the 5-day VWAP of $0.0432 (as at 3 September 2024). New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer will rank equally with the existing Shares on issue.

The Entitlement Offer will provide eligible shareholders with the opportunity to take up new Shares proportional to their shareholding and mitigate the effect of dilution. Eligible shareholders who do not take up their entitlement under the Entitlement Offer in full or in part will not receive any value in respect to those entitlements not taken up.

Use of Funds

Funds raised from the Entitlement Offer are intended to be applied towards: (a) completion of the FebriDx Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment (CLIA) waiver trial in the US, product development, sales & marketing activities; (b) general working capital; and (c) costs of the Entitlement Offer.

The Institutional Entitlement Offer to raise approximately A$3.1 million via the issue of approximately 81.7 million new shares was well supported by eligible institutional shareholders as announced on 6 September 2024.

New shares were issued at a fixed price of A$0.038 (3.8 cents) per share and rank equally with existing shares from allotment.
