Explanatory Notes
Note 1 – Shareholder Questions
Shareholders may submit written questions to be considered at the Annual Meeting. Written
questions should be sent by email to info@ruabio.com with the reference to “Annual Meeting” in the
subject line or by post to “Annual Meeting”, Rua Bioscience Limited, PO Box 1387, Gisborne 4040. Rua
reserves the right not to address any questions that, in the Board’s opinion, are not reasonable to
address in the context of an annual meeting.
Note 2 - Auditor’s Remuneration
Ordinary Resolution 1
PricewaterhouseCoopers is automatically reappointed as auditor under section 207T of the
Companies Act 1993. Under section 207S of the Companies Act 1993, the auditor’s fees and expenses
must be fixed in the manner that is determined at the annual meeting of the Company. This resolution
therefore authorises the Board to fix the fees and expenses of PricewaterhouseCoopers as the
Company’s auditor for the current financial year.
Note 3 - Director Re-Election
Ordinary Resolution 2
In accordance with Rua’s constitution and NZX Listing Rule 2.7.1, no Director may hold office (without
re-election) past the third annual meeting following the Director’s appointment or re-election, or for
three years after that time, whichever is longer.
Teresa Ciprian retires at the Annual Meeting and seeks re-election.
To be appointed as a Director, a candidate must be approved by Ordinary Resolution, which means a
simple majority of the votes cast on the resolution for appointment of the candidate must be in favour
of the resolution.
The Board has determined that Teresa Ciprian is an Independent Director.
The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
Teresa’s biographical information is set out below:
TERESA CIPRIAN, NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Teresa brings extensive governance and senior management experience across listed companies,
state-owned entities, family enterprises and privately held businesses, spanning consumer packaged
goods, agriculture, horticulture, IT, regulatory bodies, and agri-research.
On the boards she serves, Teresa is recognised for her role in elevating business strategy and
consumer marketing as drivers of business transformation, refreshing innovation pipelines, and
5
embedding high standards of compliance and governance. She has chaired People & Remuneration
Committees and Audit & Risk Committees. She has also served as a member of Innovation
Committees, contributed to CEO succession, and worked collaboratively with colleagues to sharpen
strategic clarity and prioritise major initiatives. Teresa joined the Rua Bioscience Board in August
2022.
Note 4 – Ratification of Prior Issues of Ordinary Shares and Warrants
Ordinary Resolution 3
Since May 2025, the Company has raised additional capital to support its growth strategy through a
combination of new equity and a debt facility, which provides funding to facilitate the purchase of
stock.
The Directors wish to seek shareholder approval to ratify the previous issue of:
• 16,799,999 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (the Placement Shares), which were
issued by way of a private placement to selected wholesale investors between 7 August 2025
and 12 September 2025 at an issue price of $0.03 per Share; and
• 5,926,673 warrants in the Company (the Warrants) issued to certain wholesale investors at an
exercise price of $0.015 per share between 14 May 2025 and 11 September 2025 in connection
with the Company's debt facility arrangements.
The Placement Shares, and any new shares issued on exercise of the Warrants will, rank equally with
all other ordinary shares on issue in the Company.
As previously announced on 13 May 2025, each Warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for one fully
paid ordinary share in the Company at an exercise price of $0.015 per share (payable on exercise).
The Warrants vest 12 months after the relevant issue date and, once vested, can be exercised by the
holder up until the maturity date, falling 3 years after the issue date.
As previously disclosed, both Teresa Ciprian and Antony (Tony) Barclay, being non-executive
directors of the Company, were issued Warrants in connection with the debt facilities they have
each provided to the Company. Teresa was issued 301,925 Warrants, and Tony was issued 100,642
Warrants. The Warrants were issued to each of Teresa and Tony on the same terms as other lenders
participating in the debt facility arrangements.
Tony was also issued 400,000 Placement Shares as part of the private placement. The Placement
Shares were issued to Tony on the same terms as other investors participating in the private
placement.
No other Director or Senior Manager (or their Associated Persons, as defined in the NZX Listing
Rules) were issued Placement Shares or Warrants.
Both the Placement Shares and the Warrants were issued to a limited number of selected wholesale
investors under the Company’s 15% placement capacity in accordance with NZX Listing Rule 4.5.1.
Resolution 3 is being proposed in accordance with NZX Listing Rule 4.5.1(c) which allows
shareholders to ratify previous issues of equity securities under NZX Listing Rule 4.5.1. The purpose
of seeking shareholder ratification of this prior issue is to “refresh” the Company’s placement
capacity under Listing Rule 4.5.1. Without ratification, the Company’s ability to raise further equity
capital on a placement basis is reduced until the 12-month rolling limit resets. Ratification ensures
6
the Company retains maximum flexibility to raise capital in the future if required, in addition to
capital raising alternatives such as pro rata offers to existing shareholders.
As disclosed in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report, the Company reported a loss before tax of
$3,455,622 and a net operating cash outflow of $2,787,439 for the year ended 30 June 2025. These
results highlight the importance of maintaining flexibility to access capital when required to fund
operations and growth initiatives.
The Placement Shares were issued at $0.03 per share, which represented a
a) 31.5% discount to the 20-trading day Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) up to 7
August 2025 (VWAP = $0.0438 per share), in relation to the Placement Shares issued
between 8 August 2025 and 15 August 2025 which were authorised by a Board resolution
passed on 7 August 2025.
b) 46.9% discount to the 20-trading day VWAP up to 12 September 2025 (VWAP = $0.0565 per
share), in relation to the Placement Shares issued on 10 and 11 September 2025 which were
authorised by a Board resolution passed on 9 September 2025.
The 16,799,999 Placement Shares issued represented approximately 7.51% of the total number of
shares on issue in the Company immediately prior to the placement (being
223,648,012 ordinary
shares). Following the issue of the final Placement Shares, the Company had 240,448,011 ordinary
shares on issue.
No consideration was payable on the issue of the Warrants, but cash consideration of $0.015 per
share is payable on exercise of the Warrants. The exercise price of $0.015 per share represents a
44.2% discount to the 20-trading day VWAP up to 13 May 2025 (VWAP = $0.0269), in relation to the
offer of the Warrants which was approved by a Board resolution passed on 13 May 2025.
The 5,926,673 Warrants issued represented approximately 2.65% of the total number of shares on
issue in Company at the time that the first Warrants were issued (being
223,648,012 ordinary
shares) and assuming that all Warrants vest and are exercised. Following the issue of the final
Warrants, the Company had a total of 5,926,673 warrants on issue.
The Directors consider that approval of this resolution is in the best interests of the Company, as it
provides the Board with ongoing flexibility to raise capital efficiently under the NZX Listing Rules. The
Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.
Requirement for Resolution
Listing Rule 4.5.1(c) allows shareholders to ratify, by ordinary resolution, the prior issue of equity
securities under NZX Listing Rule 4.5.1.
Voting Restrictions
In accordance with NZX Listing Rule 6.3.1, any person who has been issued, or has acquired, any
Placement Shares or Warrants (and their respective Associated Persons, as defined by the NZX Listing
Rules) are prohibited from voting on this resolution in accordance with Listing Rule 6.3.1. A person
who is disqualified from voting may however act as a proxy or voting representative for a person who
is entitled to vote, and in accordance with the express directions given by that person in the Proxy
Voting Form to vote for or against the resolution.
7
Consequences if resolution is not approved
If this resolution is not approved, this will not affect the validity of the Placement Shares or the
Warrants, both of which are already issued. However, the Company will not benefit from a refreshed
15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 4.5.1.
Note 5 – Approval of issue of new ordinary shares
Ordinary Resolution 4
The Directors wish to seek the approval of shareholders to enable them to issue up to a further
49,993,744 new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (New Shares) to assist with ongoing funding
requirements of the Company, including scaling its sales efforts in key international markets,
particularly Germany, Australia, Aotearoa New Zealand, United Kingdom and Czechia. The New Shares
will be the same class of shares as the existing ordinary shares on issue in the Company.
The Company’s 2025 Annual Report (Annual Report) stated:
“Given the Group’s net operating loss of $3,455,662 and net operating cash outflow of $2,787,439
for the year ended 30 June 2025, and in addition to its reduced liquid net asset position, the
Board and management have prepared operating cash flow forecasts for the next 12 months.
These indicated that the Group will not have sufficient cash to meet its minimum expenditure
commitments and support its current levels of activity without undertaking additional action.”
Ordinary Resolution 4 forms part of the Company’s actions to ensure it meets its going concern
assumption.
Each New Share would have an issue price of not less than $0.03. An issue price of $0.03 represents
a 37% discount to the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of the Company’s shares traded on
the NZX during the 20 trading days up to the 26 September 2025. The expectation would be that the
Board would seek to issue the New Shares at a share price that is no more than a 37% discount to the
prevailing current market price for the Company’s shares at the time of issue of the New Shares.
The New Shares would be required to be issued within 12 months from the date that shareholders
resolve to approve the issue of the New Shares. If any New Shares are not issued within this
timeframe, the approval to issue those New Shares would lapse.
The purpose of seeking approval to potentially issue the New Shares would be to provide the Board
with maximum flexibility to raise capital to assist with ongoing funding requirements of the Company,
including executing its growth plans in key international markets.
Any placement of the New Shares will occur as part of the Company’s broader capital raising
endeavours, which will likely involve an offer of shares to the Company’s existing shareholders, either
through a pro rata entitlement offer or a share purchase plan, at a price no higher than the issue price
for New Shares under the placement.
As at the date of this notice, the Company does not have an indication of the party or parties to whom
the New Shares may be issued pursuant to the proposed further placement capacity, nor does it have
any specific transactions in mind for the utilisation of the proposed further placement capacity.
The New Shares would represent 20% of the total number of shares and warrants on issue in the
Company as at the date of this notice (being 244,042,048 ordinary shares and 5,926,673 warrants). If
all of the New Shares were issued, then based on the total number of shares on issue in the Company
as at the date of this notice, the total number of shares on issue would increase to 299,962,465.
A worked example showing the dilutionary impact of the issue of these New Shares is as follows:
8
Example shareholder
ownership
Scenario if new shares are
allocated as per Listing Rule
4.5.1
Up to 15%
Scenario if all additional new
shares are allocated as per
Resolution 4
Additional 20%
5.00% 4.35% 3.70%
This example above takes into account the maximum possible dilution that may occur if the Company
was to issue further new shares, either before or after the date of the Annual Meeting, in accordance
with other provisions of the NZX Listing Rules, including under either:
A) Listing Rule 4.3 (which permits certain pro rata issues and issues under share purchase plans
without shareholder approval) or under,
B) Listing Rule 4.5.1 (which permits the issue of ordinary shares representing up to 15% of the
total number of shares on issue in any 12-month period without shareholder approval).
The Company currently has capacity to issue up to a further 4.84% of equity securities under Listing
Rule 4.5.1, based on the total number of its shares on issue as at the date of this notice. The Board
does not consider that this current placement capacity will give the Company flexibility to raise a
sufficient level of capital (in addition to the capital it can raise in accordance with Listing Rule 4.3) to
execute its growth plans.
Requirement for Resolution
Listing Rule 4.1.1 requires that the issue of the New Shares be approved by an ordinary resolution of
the existing shareholders of the Company in accordance with Listing Rule 4.2.1.
Voting Restrictions
Each of the Directors of the Company and their Associated Persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) are
prohibited from voting on this resolution in accordance with Listing Rule 6.3.1, other than where the
vote is cast by a Director or Associated Person as a proxy or voting representative for a person who is
entitled to vote, and in accordance with the express directions given by that person in the Proxy Voting
Form to vote for or against the resolution.
Consequences if resolution is not approved
If the resolution to approve the issue of the New Shares is not approved, the Company will seek
alternative funding to assist with financing growth opportunities and may seek further shareholder
approval in the future by way of a vote at a special meeting or future annual meeting.
Voting by Proxy
Any shareholder who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting may appoint a proxy to attend and
vote on their behalf. A shareholder wishing to appoint a proxy should complete and return the Proxy
Voting Form (enclosed with this Notice of Meeting) in the manner specified on the Proxy Voting Form
so that the form is received by Computershare no later than 48 hours before the time for holding the
Annual Meeting (i.e., before 03:00pm on Sunday 26 October 2025). A proxy need not be a
shareholder of Rua. The Chair of the meeting is willing to act as proxy for any shareholder who may
wish to appoint her for that purpose. The Chair will vote as directed on any resolutions and intends
9
to vote any discretionary proxies in accordance with the Board recommendations, being in favour of
all resolutions (to the extent permitted by the NZX Listing Rules and Rua’s constitution).
To direct your proxy how to vote on the resolutions, you should tick the appropriate box on the Proxy
Voting Form. If you appoint a proxy but do not tick one of the boxes in relation to a resolution, you
will be deemed to have granted your proxy the discretion to cast your votes as he or she decides. In
so doing you acknowledge that the proxy may exercise your right to vote even if he or she has an
interest in the outcome of the resolutions (provided that he or she is not disqualified from voting
under the NZX Listing Rules).
If, in appointing a proxy, you have inadvertently not named someone to be your proxy, or your named
proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chair of the meeting will be your proxy and will vote in
accordance with your express direction.
If you do not attend the Annual Meeting or appoint a proxy, then no vote will be exercised in respect
of your shareholding.
Entitlement to Vote
Subject to the voting restrictions set out in the explanatory notes in relation to Resolutions 3 and 4,
all persons on Rua’s register of shareholders as the holders of shares at 3:00 pm on Sunday 26 October
2025 will be entitled to vote on the resolutions at this Annual Meeting.
If you have appointed a proxy to attend the Annual Meeting in your place, you may still observe the
Annual Meeting (but only your proxy may cast your votes).
Any corporation that is a shareholder may appoint a person as its representative to attend the Annual
Meeting and vote on its behalf, in the same manner as that in which it could appoint a proxy. A
corporation wishing to appoint a person must ensure that the representative brings an original of the
notice appointing him or her to the meeting.
To assist with administration of the Annual Meeting, Rua would be grateful if notices appointing
representatives are delivered to either:
a) Computershare Investor Services Limited at Private Bag 92119, Auckland 1142 or
b) at corporateactions@computershare.co.nz
,
at least 48 hours before the time for the holding of the Annual Meeting (i.e., before 03:00pm on
Sunday 26 October 2025).
Voting on all of the resolutions is to be by way of poll. No persons are restricted from voting on, or
acting as a discretionary proxy in relation to, any of the resolutions referred to in this notice of Annual
Meeting, subject to the voting restrictions noted above in respect of Ordinary Resolution 3 and 4.
