PACIFIC EDGE PLACEMENT UPSIZED TO NZ$16 MILLION

DUNEDIN, New Zealand – Cancer diagnostics company Pacific Edge (NZX, ASX: PEB) today

announces it has successfully raised NZ$16 million of new equity in a placement of new

ordinary shares (Placement) — NZ$1 million more than it sought — after Directors resolved to

accept over subscriptions.

1


The Placement, which was well supported by existing shareholders, was completed on Friday

30 May 2025 and is subject to shareholder approval.

2

It was priced at NZ$0.10 cents per

share, a premium to the 20-day volume average weighted price (VWAP) prior to the

announcement of the company’s planned ~NZ$20 million equity issue.

Pacific Edge is now targeting the opening of a NZ$5 million offer to eligible retail investors by

way of a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) at the same NZ$0.10 cents per share offer price in July

or early August 2025 (with the ability to accept oversubscriptions).

3

A shareholder meeting to

approve the Placement is planned for late July or early August 2025.

The Placement and the planned SPP are aimed at ensuring Pacific Edge has additional

resources and capacity to capitalize on its recent clinical and commercial milestones, grow in

non-Medicare channels and regain Medicare coverage of its tests. Medicare coverage of the

company’s tests ceased after the ‘Genetic testing for Oncology; Specific Tests’ (L39365) Local

Coverage Determination became effective on 24 April 2025.

Chairman Chris Gallaher said: “We are delighted with the investor support we have received.

The inclusion of Cxbladder in the American Urological Association’s (AUA) new

microhematuria guideline in February 2025 is significant and has allowed the company to view

the non-coverage determination differently. We are leveraging the important AUA guideline to

build on the commercial momentum we have already established, including our plans to regain

Medicare coverage.”

Pacific Edge Chief Executive Dr Peter Meintjes said: “The robust evidence emerging from our

clinical evidence program is shifting clinical sentiment towards the broader adoption of our tests

in the US and further afield and represents a significant opportunity in addition to Medicare re-

coverage. We are delighted with the strong support we have received from investors to

continue to pursue our plans, and we are looking forward to making the same offer to the

remainder of our shareholders via the SPP.”

Shareholder approval is required to settle the Placement (i.e., for payment for, and allotment of, the new shares

offered under the Placement) given the Placement exceeds Pacific Edge's placement capacity (15% of Pacific

Edge's current shares on issue) and due to Related Party participation. The Placement is also conditional on all

necessary regulatory approvals. In this regard, the company intends to seek a waiver from NZX Listing Rule 4.19.1

to permit the allotment of shares under the Placement after shareholder approval is obtained. The Placement offer

closed on 30 May 2025 for the purposes of clause 21(1)(b)(ii) of Schedule 8 to the Financial Markets Conduct

Regulations 2014.

No offer of new shares is made under the SPP unless and until Pacific Edge sends the SPP offer document to

shareholders. No money is currently being sought, and new shares cannot currently be applied for or acquired,

under the SPP.
