AFT Pharmaceuticals Share Purchase Plan Oversubscribed
AFT Pharmaceuticals Limited (NZX:AFT/ASX:AFP) (AFT) is pleased to announce that its
NZ$2 million share purchase plan (SPP) has closed oversubscribed. The SPP received
strong shareholder support with AFT receiving applications totalling approximately
NZ$9.8 million. Applications will be scaled on a proportionate basis in accordance
with the number of AFT shares held by applicants on the SPP record date (9 June
2020). Refunds of surplus application amounts paid will be made to applicants in
accordance with the terms of the SPP offer document.
The SPP was offered to all eligible existing AFT shareholders with a registered address
in New Zealand or Australia, enabling them to each subscribe for up to a maximum
of NZ$50,000 / A$47,000 of new AFT shares. 1,554 AFT shareholders applied under the
SPP with an average application of approximately NZ$6,306.00
The SPP is part of AFT’s capital raising announced on 10 June 2020, whereby AFT also
undertook a fully underwritten NZ$10 million placement of new shares to select
investors in both local and offshore markets and certain major shareholders sold
down NZ$63.8 million of existing shares (together, the Placement). The new shares
under the SPP will be issued at the same price as the Placement share price, being
NZ$3.75 per share.
AFT Managing Director Hartley Atkinson said: “We are delighted with the response to
both the SPP and the earlier placement. The success of these initiatives represents a
recognition of the global opportunities AFT enjoys and the progress we have made
over an extended period. They also represent an endorsement of our strategy to

realise our potential. We thank investors and we are working hard to reward their
support.”
Allotment of all shares issued under the SPP is expected to occur on 2 July 2020.
Trading of those shares is expected to commence on NZX on 2 July 2020 and on ASX
on 3 Ju ly 2020. The new shares to be issued under the SPP will rank equally in all
respects with AFT’s existing ordinary shares on allotment.
