Simavita Limited: Disclosure Under ASX Listing Rule 3.10.5A


SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA--(Marketwired - April 22, 2015) - Simavita Limited ("Simavita" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SV)(ASX:SVA), a global leader in the digital healthcare sector, provides disclosure under ASX Listing Rule 3.10.5A in respect of its recent placement of 7,372,774 common shares and CDIs under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at an issue price of $0.45 per security (the "Placement").

As a result of the issue of the common shares and CDIs under the Placement, and the simultaneous issue of 11,059,161 securities under ASX Listing 7.1 at the same issue price of $0.45 per security, the following dilution to existing holders occurred:

Total securities Securities held by existing holders
Shares on issue pre Placement 73,727,743 73,727,743 73,727,743 100%
Shares issued under LR 7.1 11,059,161 84,786,904 73,727,743 86.9%
Shares issued under LR 7.1A 7,372,774 92,159,678 73,727,743 80.0%

The specific dilution to existing holders as a result of the Placement was 8.0%.

The common shares and CDIs issued under the Placement were issued for cash. A pro rata issue to existing shareholders was not made at that time for the following reasons:

  • A Share Purchase Plan, which enabled existing shareholders to acquire securities at the same issue price of $0.45 per security, was offered to shareholders only nine months ago.

  • As a result of the above, the Company did not believe there would be a significant number of existing shareholders who would wish to participate in such an issue so soon after the previous one.

  • The placement of securities to sophisticated investors gave the Company certainty and introduced a number of new investors of high quality to the Company's register.

The Placement was not underwritten.

On a pro-rata basis, the Company paid a total of $101,546 in commissions to the broker who assisted the Company with the Placement. This amount represented approximately 3.1% of the $3,317,748 raised from the Placement.
