SUPPLEMENTARY EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
The Explanatory Statement is supplemented by inserting the following Sections and the
following Schedule:
8.
BACKGROUND TO CAPITAL RAISING
The Company is currently conducting a placement and accelerated nonrenounceable entitlement offer in order to raise up to approximately $30,100,000
(before costs).
The Company is seeking to raise approximately $18,000,000 (before costs) by
way of a placement to institutional investors (Placement) through the issue of up
to 41,860,466 Shares (Placement Shares) at an issue price of $0.43 per Placement
Share together with three Options exercisable at exercisable at $0.65 each on or
before 30 November 2024 (Attaching Options) for every four Placement Shares
subscribed for and issued. The Placement Shares will be issued on 8 November
2023 (ratification of which is sought under Resolution 8) and the issue of the
Attaching Options is subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval
(which is being sought under Resolution 8).
In addition, the Company is conducting an accelerated non-renounceable
entitlement offer (Entitlement Offer) to raise approximately $12,100,000 (before
costs) through the issue of approximately 28,175,662 Shares at an issue price of
$0.43 per Share, on the basis of 1 Share for every 10 Shares held by Eligible
Shareholders as at the Record Date, together with three Attaching Options for
every four Shares subscribed for and issued.
The funds raised from the Placement and the Entitlement Offer (together,
the Offers) are intended to be applied towards funding the Company through
the next stage of the phase 3 Pivotal OA clinical trial and expenses of the Offers.
The Entitlement Offer and the Placement Offer are fully underwritten by Bell
Potter Securities Limited (ACN 006 390 772) (AFSL 243480) (Underwriter). Further
details in respect of the fees payable to the Underwriter (including fees payable
on exercise of the Attaching Options) are set out in the replacement prospectus
dated 31 October 2023 (Prospectus), which replaced the prospectus dated
30 October 2023.
The Underwriter has entered into sub-underwriting agreements with various third
parties (Sub-Underwriters) who have agreed to subscribe for any Securities which
are not applied for by eligible Shareholders under the Entitlement Offer (SubUnderwriting Agreements). The Underwriter has agreed to pay the SubUnderwriters a fee which may be satisfied (at the election of the Underwriter)
through:
(a)
subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval (which is
being sought under Resolution 10), the issue of one Option exercisable
at $0.65 each on or before 30 November 2024 (Sub-Underwriter Options)
for every $1 sub-underwritten; or
(b)
a cash fee of 1% of the amount sub-underwritten.
The Sub-Underwriting Agreements have otherwise been entered into on
standard terms and conditions for agreements of their nature.
Further details in respect of the Offers are set out in the Prospectus.

9.
RESOLUTION 8 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF PLACEMENT SHARES
9.1
General
Resolution 8 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue
of the Placement Shares, which are expected to be issued on 8 November 2023.
Further information in respect of the Placement and the issue of the Placement
Shares is set out in Section 8 above and in the Prospectus.
9.2
Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits
the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the
approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid
ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that 12 month period.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by
way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this
15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
The Company’s ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity provided for in
Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this Meeting remains
conditional on Resolution 3 being passed at this Meeting.
The issue of the Placement Shares did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 at the time of
the issue.
The issue of the Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions set
out in Listing Rule 7.2 and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, it
effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the
Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder
approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the date of
issue of the Placement Shares.
Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue
of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the
issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not
reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without
shareholder approval under that rule.
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional
equity securities in the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for
such issues under Listing Rule 7.1. Accordingly, the Company is seeking
Shareholder ratification pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Placement
Shares.
9.3
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
If Resolution 8 is passed, the Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating
the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively
increasing the number of equity securities the Company can issue without
Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of issue of the
Placement Shares.
If Resolution 8 is not passed, the Placement Shares will be included in calculating
the Company’s combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, effectively
decreasing the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without
5884-02/3319083_4
4
Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the date of
agreement to issue the Placement Shares.
It is noted that the Company’s ability to utilise the additional 10% capacity
provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A for issues of equity securities following this
Meeting remains conditional on Resolution 3 being passed at this Meeting.
9.4
Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is
provided in relation to Resolution 8:
(a)
the Placement Shares will be issued to professional and sophisticated
investors who will be identified by the Directors and the Underwriter
(Placement Participants). The Placement Participants will be identified
through a bookbuild process, which will involve the Company and the
Underwriter seeking expressions of interest to participate in the capital
raising from non-related parties of the Company;
(b)
in accordance with paragraph 7.4 of ASX Guidance Note 21, the
Company confirms that the Placement Shares that will be issued to
Allianz Global Investors Asia Pacific Ltd (a substantial holder of the
Company) (Allianz) will represent approximately 1% of the issued capital
of the Company. No other related parties of the Company, members of
the Company’s key management personnel, existing substantial holders
of the Company, advisers of the Company or associates of any of these
parties (Material Persons) will receive Placement Shares which represent
more than 1% of the issued capital of the Company;
(c)
41,860,466 Placement Shares will be issued and the Placement Shares
will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on
the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares;
(d)
the Placement Shares will be issued on 8 November 2023;
(e)
the issue price will be $0.43 per Placement Share. The Company has not
and will not receive any other consideration for the issue of the
Placement Shares;
(f)
the purpose of the issue of the Placement Shares is to raise
approximately $18,000,000 (before costs), which will be applied in the
manner set out in Section 8; and
(g)
the Placement Shares will not be issued under an agreement.
10.
RESOLUTION 9 – APPROVAL TO ISSUE ATTACHING OPTIONS
10.1

of the Attaching Options. Further information in respect of the Placement and
the issue of the Attaching Options is set out in Section 8 above and in the
Prospectus.

Listing Rule 7.1

the Attaching Options. In addition, the issue of the Attaching Options will be
excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the
Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolution 9 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the
