IBXO Options Underwriting Agreement
MELBOURNE – Imagion Biosystems (ASX:IBX), a company dedicated to improving healthcare through
the early detection of cancer, is pleased to announce it has entered into an options underwriting
agreement (Underwriting Agreement) with Mercer Street Global Opportunity Fund LLC (Underwriter), a
US based institutional investor, to underwrite the exercise of listed options (ASX: IBXO) which are
exercisable at $0.05 and due to expire on or before 5.00pm (AEDT) on 26 November 2021 (Options).
Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement the Underwriter will subscribe for any outstanding Options
remaining at the time of expiry. As of 24 November 2021 there were 16,161,610 Options on issue which
remain unexercised, representing an underwriting amount of $808,081. A 4% fee (of the underwritten
amount) is payable to Brighton Capital Ltd, a US based broker.
Executive Chairman and CEO Bob Proulx said, “We are pleased to have secured this commitment from a
quality US based institutional investor. Receiving the maximum funds from the IBXO options will
strengthen our cash reserves as we continue towards completion of our MagSense® Phase I study and the
development of our platform technology.”
Any shortfall shares to be issued on the exercise of outstanding options by the Underwriter pursuant to the
Underwriting Agreement are expected to be issued in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 10)
and not require shareholder approval and will not form part of the Company’s ASX Listing Rule 7.1
