Company Announcement

PACIFIC EDGE PLACEMENT UPSIZED FOLLOWING STRONG DEMAND
Cancer diagnostics business, Pacific Edge Limited (NZX/ASX: PEB) is pleased to announce it has successfully raised
NZ$80m (A$77.5
1
) through its Placement.
The Placement was very well subscribed at the price determined in the bookbuild of NZ$1.35 (A$1.31) per share,
resulting in Pacific Edge increasing the size of the Placement from NZ$60 million (A$58.1 million) to NZ$80 million
(A$77.5 million).
The issue price of NZ$1.35 for the Placement was at the top of the bookbuild range and represents a 5.5% discount
to the 20 trading day Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of NZ$1.43 on the NZX up to 22 September 2021.
The Placement was very well supported, attracting bids well in excess of the up-sized NZ$80 million (A$77.5 million)
total offer amount. Adopting a fair and balanced allocation policy, existing institutions bidding for more than their
pro rata entitlements, were allocated their pro rata allocations, and some new long term international funds have
entered the share register.
Chairman of Pacific Edge, Chris Gallaher, said: “We are very pleased with the demand shown for the Placement
which we see as a strong endorsement of our strategy and growth plans. We are very pleased with the strong
support we received from our long-term institutional investors and are delighted to welcome several high value
global growth funds to the register. The funds raised will enable us to accelerate the growing out of our business and
realising Pacific Edge’s potential.
We are looking forward to making our Retail Offer to Eligible Shareholders

. This will provide our existing shareholders
an opportunity to further their investment and participate in our growth.”
Approximately 59.3 million shares were sold in the Placement. Settlement is expected to occur on 29 September
2021 for the ASX and 30 September 2021 for the NZX, with allotment and commencement of trading of the
Placement shares on both NZX and ASX expected to occur 30 September 2021.
