AFT Pharmaceuticals announces successful completion of Placement

AFT Pharmaceuticals Limited (NZX:AFT/ASX:AFP) (AFT) is pleased to announce the

successful completion of its NZ$73.8 million Placement (Placement), comprising a

NZ$10 million primary issuance and a sell down by certain major shareholders of

NZ$63.8 million of existing shares.

Approximately 19.7 million shares were sold to existing shareholders and new

investors across the Placement, including approximately 2.7 million new shares under

the primary issuance, at a price of NZ$3.75 per share. The Placement price

represents a discount of 11.1% to the 30-day VWAP up to 9 June of NZ$4.22 and a

discount of 20.2% to the last close price of NZ$4.70 on 9 June 2020.

AFT Founder and Chief Executive Hartley Atkinson said: “We are pleased with the

response we have had to the Placement and look forward to offering shares to our

existing retail investors with the upcoming Share Purchase Plan (SPP).

“In addition to the strong takeup of the Placement from New Zealand investors, we

are delighted to be welcoming a broad swathe of Australian institutional and retail

investors onto our share register. Through the placement, sell downs and SPP the free

float of the company is expanding from 11% to up to 31% of the shares on issue.

“We are hopeful the addition of these new investors - coupled with our record of

strong growth and consistently delivering on market expectations – will help to build

AFT’s profile and a deeper appreciation for the significant opportunities we enjoy in

Australasia and further afield.”

Settlement of the Placement is expected to occur on 15

th

June 2020. The new

shares issued under the Placement are expected to be allotted and commence

trading on the NZX and ASX on 15
