Dovey with respect to Proposals 9 and 15 only; R. Scott Huennekens with respect to Proposals 10 and 16 only; Gordon E. Nye with respect to Proposals 11 and 17 only; Robert B. Stockman with respect to Proposals 12 and 18 only; and, Robert B. Thomas with respect to Proposals 13 and 19 only. Those directors abstain from making a recommendation on those specific Proposals due to their personal interests in the Proposals.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

If you were a holder of REVA common stock, either as a stockholder of record or as the beneficial owner of shares held in street name as of 4:30 p.m. on 8 April 2017 Australian Eastern Standard Time (which was 11:30 p.m. on April 7, 2017 U.S. Pacific Daylight Time), the Record Date for the Annual Meeting, subject to the voting exclusions below, you may vote your shares at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 42,851,477 shares of our common stock outstanding (equivalent to 428,514,770 CDIs assuming all shares of common stock were converted into CDIs on the Record Date). Each stockholder has one vote for each share of common stock held as of the Record Date. Each CDI holder is entitled to direct CDN to vote one vote for every ten (10) CDIs held by such holder. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially and held in street name.

What does it mean to be a “stockholder of record?”

You are a “stockholder of record” if your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A. As a stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to REVA or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. You may vote by Internet, telephone, or mail, as described below under the heading “How do I vote my shares of REVA common stock?” Holders of CDIs are entitled to receive notice of and to attend the Annual Meeting and may direct CDN to vote at the Annual Meeting by following the instructions on the CDI Voting Instruction Form or by voting online at www.investorvote.com.au .

What does it mean to beneficially own shares in “street name?”

You are deemed to beneficially own your shares in “street name” if your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, broker‑dealer, trust, custodian, or other similar organization. If this is the case, proxy materials were forwarded to you by that organization. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank, trustee, or nominee how to vote your shares, and you are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting.

-  2  -


 

If you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, your shares will not be voted on any proposals for which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote (a “broker non ‑vote”). Since a beneficial owner is not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, bank, trustee, or nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote at the meeting. If you do not wish to vote in person or will not be attending the Annual Meeting, you may vote by proxy. Proxies can be lodged by Internet or telephone, as described below under “How do I vote my shares of REVA common stock?”

How many shares must be present or represented to conduct business at the Annual Meeting?

The quorum requirement for holding the Annual Meeting and transacting business is that holders of one-third of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors must be present in person or represented by proxy. Abstentions and shares represented by “broker non‑votes” are counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. As of the Record Date, there were 42,851,477 shares of our common stock outstanding, and each share is entitled to one vote at the Annual Meeting.

What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?

Subject to voting exclusion statements for a Proposal, the vote required to approve each Proposal is set forth below. Information on voting exclusion statements are set forth in the additional information provided for each Proposal.

Proposal 1 — Election of Directors

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes, which means that the director nominees receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes will be elected. Neither abstentions nor broker non‑votes will count as a vote cast “FOR” or “AGAINST” a director nominee, and they will have no direct effect on the outcome of the election of directors.

Proposal 2 — Issuance of the Notes under the Tranche 2 Offer Pursuant to the 2017 Deed

The proposal to approve the issuance of the Notes to the 2017 Noteholders under the Tranche 2 Offer pursuant to the 2017 Deed requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such proposal.

Proposal 4 — Re-approval of the 2014 Notes Pursuant to the 2014 Deed upon Amendment of the 2014 Deed

The proposal to re-approve the issue of the 2014 Notes and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the 2014 Notes, upon amendment of the 2014 Deed, requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such proposal. Abstentions are considered shares present and entitled to vote and thus will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no direct effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Proposal 5 — Ratification of the Issuance of Notes and Options under the Tranche 1 Offer Pursuant to the 2017 Deed

The proposal to ratify our issuance of the Notes and Options under the Tranche 1 Offer pursuant to the 2017 Deed requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such proposal. Abstentions are considered shares present and entitled to vote and thus will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no direct effect on the outcome of this proposal .

Proposal 6 — Ratification of the Appointment of our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The proposal to ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such proposal. Abstentions are considered shares present and entitled to vote and thus will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no direct effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Proposal 7 — Approval, on an Advisory Basis, of Executive Compensation

The proposal to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation awarded to the named executive officers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such proposal. Abstentions are considered shares present and entitled to vote and thus will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no direct effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Proposals 8 through 13 — Approval of the Grant of Stock Options to Directors

Each of the proposals to approve the grant of 10,500 options to purchase 10,500 shares of common stock under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, to each of the non-executive directors of the Company requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such proposal. Abstentions are considered shares present and entitled to vote and thus will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” these proposals. Broker non-votes will have no direct effect on the outcome of these proposals.

Proposals 14 through 19— Approval of the Award of Restricted Stock Units to Directors

Each proposal to approve the award of 6,000 restricted stock units for 6,000 shares of common stock under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, to each non-executive director of the Company requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such proposal. Abstentions are considered shares present and entitled to vote and thus will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” these proposals. Broker non-votes will have no direct effect on the outcome of these proposals.

Voting Exclusion Statement:  

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Proposals 2 through 4 by:

 

any person who is participating in the issue of the Notes and Options under the 2017 Deed;

any associate of those persons.

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Proposal 5 by:

 

any person who participated in the Tranche 1 Offer under the 2017 Deed;

any associate of those persons.

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Proposals 8 through 19 by any director of REVA and by any associate of any director of REVA.

However, the Company need not disregard a vote cast on Proposals 2 through 5 or Proposals 8 through 19 if:  

 

it is cast by a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the direction on the proxy card; or

 

it is cast by the person chairing the meeting as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the direction on the proxy card to vote as the proxy decides.

How do I vote my shares of REVA common stock?

If you are a stockholder of record, you can vote in the following ways:

 

By Internet :  by following the Internet voting instructions included in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders at any time up until 4:30 p.m. on 31 May 2017 Australian Eastern Standard Time (which is 11:30 p.m. on May 30, 2017 U.S. Pacific Daylight Time).

 

By Telephone :  by following the telephone voting instructions included in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders at any time up until 4:30 p.m. on 31 May 2017 Australian Eastern Standard Time (which is 11:30 p.m. on May 30, 2017 U.S. Pacific Daylight Time).

-  4  -


 

 

By Mail :  by marking, dating, and signing your proxy card in accordance with the instructions on it and returning it by mail in the pre ‑addressed reply envelope. The proxy card must be received prior to the Annual Meeting.

If your shares are held through a benefit or compensation plan or in street name, your plan trustee or your bank, broker, or other nominee should give you instructions for voting your shares. In these cases, you may vote by Internet, telephone, or mail by submitting a Voting Instruction Form.

If you satisfy the admission requirements to the Annual Meeting, as described below under the heading “How do I attend the Annual Meeting?” you may vote your shares in person at the meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to vote in advance by Internet, telephone, or mail so that your vote will be counted in the event you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting. Shares held through a benefit or compensation plan cannot be voted in person at the Annual Meeting.

How do I vote if I hold CDIs?

Each CDI holder is entitled to direct CDN to vote one vote for every ten (10) CDIs held by such holder. Those persons holding CDIs are entitled to receive notice of and to attend the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof, and may direct CDN to vote their underlying shares of common stock at the Annual Meeting by voting online at www.investorvote.com.au , or by returning the CDI Voting Instruction Form to Computershare, the agent we designated for the collection and processing of voting instructions from our CDI holders, no later than 4:30 p.m. on 31 May 2017 Australian Eastern Standard Time (which is 11:30 p.m. on May 30, 2017 U.S. Pacific Daylight Time) in accordance with the instructions on such form. Doing so permits CDI holders to instruct CDN to vote on their behalf in accordance with their written directions.

Alternatively, CDI holders have the following options in order to vote at the Annual Meeting:

 

informing REVA that they wish to nominate themselves or another person to be appointed as CDN’s proxy for the purposes of attending and voting at the meeting; or

 

converting their CDIs into a holding of shares of REVA’s common stock and voting these at the meeting (however, if thereafter the former CDI holder wishes to sell their investment on ASX, it would be necessary to convert shares of common stock back into CDIs). This must be done prior to the record date for the meeting.

As holders of CDIs will not appear on REVA’s share register as the legal holders of the shares of common stock, they will not be entitled to vote at our stockholder meetings unless one of the above steps is undertaken.

How do I attend the Annual Meeting?

Admission to the Annual Meeting is limited to REVA stockholders and CDI holders, one member of their immediate families, or their named representatives. We reserve the right to limit the number of immediate family members or representatives who may attend the meeting. Stockholders of record, holders of CDIs of record, immediate family member guests, and representatives will be required to present government‑issued photo identification (e.g., driver’s license or passport) to gain admission to the meeting. Please be advised that no cameras, recording equipment, electronic devices, large bags, briefcases, or packages will be permitted in the meeting.

To register to attend the Annual Meeting, please contact REVA’s investor relations as follows:

the name of your immediate family member guest, if one will accompany you.

What does it mean if I receive more than one Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders?

It generally means you hold shares registered in multiple accounts. To ensure that all your shares are voted, please submit proxies or voting instructions for all of your shares.

May I change my vote or revoke my proxy?

Yes.

If you are a stockholder of record, you may change your vote or revoke your proxy by:

 

filing a written statement to that effect with our Corporate Secretary at or before the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting;

 

voting again via the Internet or telephone at a later time before the closing of those voting facilities at 4:30 p.m. on 31 May 2017 Australian Eastern Standard Time (which is 11:30 p.m. on May 30, 2017 U.S. Pacific Daylight Time);

 

submitting a properly signed proxy card with a later date that is received at or prior to the Annual Meeting; or,

 

attending the Annual Meeting, revoking your proxy, and voting in person.

The written statement or subsequent proxy should be delivered to REVA Medical, Inc., 5751 Copley Drive, San Diego, California 92111, U.S.A., Attention:  Corporate Secretary, or hand delivered to the Corporate Secretary, before the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner and hold shares through a broker, bank, or other nominee, you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your broker, bank, or other nominee. You may also change your vote or revoke your voting instructions in person at the Annual Meeting if you obtain a signed proxy from the record holder (broker, bank, or other nominee) giving you the right to vote the shares.

If you are a holder of CDIs and you direct CDN to vote by completing the CDI Voting Instruction Form, you may revoke those directions by delivering to Computershare, no later than 4:30 p.m. on 31 May 2017 Australian Eastern Standard Time (which is 11:30 p.m. on May 30, 2017 U.S. Pacific Daylight Time), a written notice of revocation bearing a later date than the CDI Voting Instruction Form previously sent.

Could other matters be decided at the Annual Meeting?

We are currently unaware of any matters to be raised at the Annual Meeting other than those presented in this Proxy Statement. If other matters are properly presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting and you are a stockholder of record and have submitted your proxy, the persons named in your proxy will have the discretion to vote on those matters for you.

Who will pay for the cost of soliciting proxies?

We will pay the cost of soliciting proxies, including the cost of preparing and mailing proxy materials. Proxies may be solicited on our behalf by directors, officers, or employees (for no additional compensation) in person or by telephone, electronic transmission, and facsimile transmission.

If we hire soliciting agents, we will pay them a reasonable fee for their services. We will not pay directors, officers, or other regular employees any additional compensation for their efforts to supplement our proxy solicitation. We anticipate that banks, brokerage houses, and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries may forward soliciting material to the beneficial owners of shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting and that we will reimburse those persons for their out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred in this connection.

PROPOSAL 1 — ELEC TION OF DIRECTORS

At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders will be asked to elect the two directors nominated for election as Class I directors. Our Board of Directors currently consists of seven members and is divided into three classes; Class I and Class III comprise two directors each and Class II comprises three directors. The directors in each class serve three‑year terms and in each case until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. The Board unanimously nominated Brian H. Dovey for reelection and Regina E. Groves for election at the 2017 Annual Meeting as the two Class I directors.

If elected, the two directors nominated as Class I directors will serve until the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders in 2020, and in each case until their successors are elected and qualified, or until their earlier resignation or removal. Both nominees have indicated their willingness to serve if elected, but if either should be unable to serve or for good cause will not serve, the shares represented by proxies may be voted for a substitute as REVA may designate, unless a contrary instruction is indicated in the proxy.

Vote Required for Approval

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, which means that the director nominees receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes will be elected as Class I directors. Abstentions and broker non‑votes are not counted as votes cast with respect to that director, and will have no direct effect on the outcome of the election of directors.

 

 

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE
“FOR” THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES NAMED ABOVE.

 

 

 

PROPOSAL 2 — ISSUANCE OF NOTES UNDER THE TRANCHE 2 OFFER

Background

We are a medical device company that is focused on developing and commercializing products for use in humans, utilizing our proprietary polymer technologies. On April 3, 2017, our first product was approved for sale under a CE Mark, which allows us to commercialize in Europe and other jurisdictions that recognize the CE Mark. Our product development efforts have been funded with a variety of capital received from angel investors, venture capitalists, strategic partners, hedge funds, and the proceeds from our initial public offering of CDIs completed in December 2010. Additionally, to further our development and testing efforts and to provide the capital required through our application for CE Marking of our Fantom scaffold, we entered into a Convertible Note Deed on September 25, 2014 (the “2014 Deed”), pursuant to which we issued 250 Notes (the “2014 Notes”), each with a face value of US$100,000, to the noteholders thereunder (the “2014 Noteholders”) along with 8,750,000 options to purchase common stock; such issuance was made on November 14, 2014.

We have been placing significant effort into completing a financing during 2017 to provide ongoing funds for our operating and capital needs, including the commercialization of our Fantom scaffold and additional clinical trials. In connection therewith, on April 22, 2017, we entered into a Convertible Note Deed (the “2017 Deed”) with the investors listed on Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 thereto (the “Noteholders”).

A copy of the 2017 Deed (which sets out the full terms and conditions on which the Notes and Options will be issued to the Noteholders) is set forth in Annex A hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Under the 2017 Deed, the Company has agreed to issue up to US$52.5 million of senior unsecured convertible notes, each having an issue price of US$100,000 and a face value of US$100,000 (the “Notes”), in transactions that will generate gross proceeds of at least US$45.0 million, and potentially up to US$52.5 million in additional funding to the Company, exclusive of costs of the transaction and the purchase price for the buy-back of shares from Medtronic, Inc. as described below. In addition, as further consideration for the Noteholders agreeing to subscribe for the Notes, we agreed to issue 4,500 options for each Note purchased by the Noteholders, with each option entitling the holder thereof to subscribe for one share of our common stock (the “Options”) (together, the issuance of the Notes and the Options is referred to as the “2017 Convertible Note Offering”). The Notes and Options are being offered under a prospectus prepared in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 6D of the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) , a copy of which was lodged with ASIC and ASX on April 24, 2017 (the “Prospectus”). The Prospectus also contains details of the buy-back of shares from Medtronic.

 

-  7  -


 

Due to the 2017 Convertible Note Offering’s size exceeding the Company’s 15 percent issuance capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the offering under the 2017 Deed will take place in two tranches. The first tranche closed on May 4, 2017 with the issue of 338 Notes and 1,521,000 Options to raise aggregate gross proceeds of US$33.8 million (the “Tranche 1 Offer”) to the Company (noting that the Company received approximately US$21.3 million in net proceeds because on May 4, 2017, the Company , in conjunction with the issue of Notes to Medtronic, Inc. under the Tranche 1 Offer, bought back all of the shares held by Medtronic, Inc. for an amount of US$7.212 per share, aggregating total consideration of US$12,493,059, which was offset against the amount payable by Medtronic, Inc. for its subscription of Notes and Options under the Tranche 1 Offer). The Tranche 1 Offer was within the Company’s 15 percent issuance capacity and, therefore, did not require stockholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The second tranche will require stockholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and therefore, will occur if and when stockholder approval pursuant to Proposals 2 through 4 has been obtained (“Tranche 2 Offer”).

If Proposals 2 through 4 are approved, the Tranche 2 Offer will proceed and the persons listed on Schedule 2 of the 2017 Deed, together with any new investors made party to the 2017 Deed through the execution of an instrument of adherence, would be issued up to 187 Notes and up to 841,500 Options in exchange for up to US$18.7 million cash proceeds to the Company.

Under the 2017 Deed, full conversion of all of the Notes at the maximum issuable of US$52.5 million at the initial conversion price would result in a maximum of approximately 6,065,858 shares of our common stock (equivalent to 60,658,580 CDIs) being issued, subject to any adjustment of the conversion price as further described in the 2017 Deed (a copy of which is set forth in Annex A hereto) and in the summary of the terms of the Notes set forth in Annex B hereto. Full exercise of all Options that may be issued under the 2017 Deed would result in a total of 2,362,500 shares of our common stock (equivalent to 23,625,000 CDIs) being issued. The maximum number of Notes and Options issuable under the 2017 Deed may be, respectively, converted into and exercised to acquire an aggregate of approximately 17.0 percent of our outstanding common stock (excluding any shares of Common Stock or CDIs currently held by the Investors and assuming no options or convertible securities are exercised or converted other than those issued under the 2017 Deed in this offering, but assuming buy-back of the shares held by Medtronic, Inc.).

The Noteholders are not associates and each of them has independently formed the decision to invest in the Company on the terms of the 2017 Deed. However, as a result of converting the Notes or exercising the Options to be issued in accordance with the 2017 Deed, certain of the Noteholders, whether acting together or independently, may be able to exert a significant degree of influence over our management and affairs and over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. A significant concentration of ownership could harm the market price of our shares and CDIs by delaying or preventing a change of control, even if a change of control is in the best interests of our stockholders. In addition, the interests of the holders of the Notes and the Options may not always coincide with the interests of our existing stockholders.

The 2017 Deed contains a number of restrictive covenants that will impose operating and financial restrictions on the Company and may limit the Company’s ability to engage in acts that may be in its long-term best interest, including restrictions on the Company’s ability to:

 

raise additional funding through the sale of equity securities, subject to certain exceptions;

 

incur further debt, subject to certain exceptions;

 

change the general nature or scope of its business;

 

sell the business to a third party, subject to certain exceptions; and,

 

pay dividends or issue new securities in certain circumstances.

Prior to issuance of the Notes and Options, we entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement between the Company, each Noteholder, and each investor that is a party to the existing Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement dated September 25, 2014 (the “Amendment”). The Amendment is substantially in the form set forth in Schedule 8 to the 2017 Deed and provides each Noteholder, subject to the terms and conditions therein, with the right to require the Company to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to facilitate the sale of any securities in the Company held by each party to the Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement.

Additionally, prior to issuance of the Notes and Options, Regina E. Groves, our Chief Executive Officer, entered into a Lock-Up Agreement with the Noteholders whereby she has agreed not to offer, sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of any shares or CDIs of the Company, subject to certain exceptions as further described in the form of Lock-Up Agreement in Schedule 10 of the 2017 Deed.

-  8  -


 

As a condition precedent to the issue of the Notes and Options, the Company has entered into the Second Amendment to the 2014 Deed which, subject to stockholder approval under Proposal 4, effects certain amendments to the convertible notes issued by the Company in 2014, in order to, among other things, remove the 2014 Noteholders’ option to request redemption of the notes prior to maturity, remove the automatic conversion provision of the 2014 Notes, and subordinate the 2014 Notes to the new Notes.

Terms of the Notes

A summary of certain of the key terms of the Notes is set forth in Annex B hereto and a copy of the 2017 Deed (which sets out the full terms and conditions of the Notes and Options) is set forth in Annex A hereto.

The Notes are direct, unsubordinated, unconditional, and unsecured obligations of the Company and have a face value of US$100,000 per Note. The Notes do not provide the holder voting rights at stockholder meetings of the Company unless and until converted. Interest accrues on the Notes at the rate of 8.0 percent per annum (increased to 10.0 percent per annum if any payments are past due), compounded annually, but is only payable upon redemption of the Notes for cash. No interest is payable on any Note that is converted in accordance with the terms of the 2017 Deed. On the earlier to occur of an event of default (as defined in the 2017 Deed) or 60 months after the date of issuance of the Notes, the Company is required to redeem all Notes that have not otherwise been converted, redeemed, or cancelled, at an amount equal to face value plus all accrued interest.

In addition, a Noteholder may elect to redeem all or some of its Notes that have not otherwise been converted, redeemed, or cancelled 30 months after the date of issuance, at an amount equal to face value plus all accrued interest, upon providing the Company with at least 30 calendar days’ prior written notice. If the Company is unable to satisfy its obligation upon such an election, two persons approved by a Resolution of Noteholders are to be appointed as directors of the Company until the Company has satisfied its obligation to redeem, pay, or repay the Noteholder(s), with one such director being nominated by HEC Master Fund L.P. and the other being appointed by the Noteholder with the highest proportion of Shares or CDIs, with such director being appointed the chair of the Financing Committee (see below); and the Board must establish a Financing Committee to consider and recommend to the Board how the Company should satisfy its obligations to redeem, pay, or repay the Noteholders; and the Company must, undertake all actions to implement the recommendations made by the Financing Committee (unless the Board has determined that such actions would be inconsistent with fiduciary or statutory duties) in relation to repayment and redemption of the relevant Noteholders.

The Notes will at all times rank pari passu in right of payment with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated senior obligations of the Company (other than unsecured obligations preferred by mandatory provisions of law) and senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated obligations of the Company. The notes issued pursuant to that certain Convertible Note Deed, dated September 25, 2014, by and among the Company, Goldman Sachs International and Senrigan Master Fund (“Senrigan”) have been expressly subordinated to the Notes.

At any time following the date of issuance of the Notes but prior to the maturity date, a Noteholder may give the Company an irrevocable notice electing to convert (the “Conversion Notice”), at the then effective conversion price, all or some of the Notes held by the Noteholder and specifying the number of Notes the Noteholder is electing to convert into shares of our common stock (represented by CDIs).

The terms of the Notes contain provisions for the adjustment of the conversion price, which will initially be US$8.655 per share of our common stock (or US$0.8655 per CDI). Specifically, upon the occurrence of certain events, including a reorganization of issued capital, certain dividends, or distributions and issuances by the Company of equity securities at a price below current market value, the conversion price will be adjusted to ensure the economic value of the Notes is not adversely affected. Also, the conversion price will be adjusted downward to the greater of (a) the price per share at which shares are issued in an IPO multiplied by 1.2, or (b) the conversion price in effect immediately before such IPO divided by 1.2 if the offering price of such IPO is lower than the then effective conversion price per share.

In addition, upon certain change of control events, as further described in the 2017 Deed, each Noteholder may give the Company an irrevocable notice requiring the Company to redeem all or any part of their Notes for the greater of the face value of the Notes plus accrued interest or the Cash Settlement Amount.

The CDIs or shares of our common stock issued or transferred and delivered upon Conversion of the Notes will be fully paid and will in all respects rank pari passu with the fully paid CDIs or shares of our common stock on issue on the relevant conversion date.

Further details about the terms of the Notes can be found in Annexes A and B hereto.

Use of Proceeds

The Company intends to use the net proceeds raised from the 2017 Convertible Note Offering, including the Tranche 2 Offer, to provide funding for the Company’s ongoing operating and capital needs including commercial launch activities, ongoing and expanded clinical trials, and feasibility testing and development of additional technologies.

ASX Listing Rules

We are seeking the approval of our stockholders for the purpose of issuing Notes and Options under the Tranche 2 Offer pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits, subject to certain exceptions, a company from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities that would represent more than 15 percent of the company’s ordinary securities on issue 12 months prior to the date of issue (or agreement to issue) of such securities, without prior approval of a company’s stockholders.

The shares of common stock (represented by CDIs) that may be issued on conversion of the Notes and on exercise of the Options to be issued in the Tranche 2 Offer under the 2017 Deed, together with the Notes and Options issued in the Tranche 1 Offer, would exceed the 15 percent issuance limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1; accordingly, approval of the Company’s stockholders is required for the issuance of the Notes and Options under the Tranche 2 Offer.

By approving the issue of Notes and Options under the Tranche 2 Offer, such securities will also be excluded from the calculation of the number of securities that can be issued by the Company in the 12-month period following the date of their issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, therefore providing the Company with flexibility to issue further securities in the next 12 months, if the Board considers it is in the interests of the Company and its stockholders to do so.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following additional information is provided in relation to Proposal 2:

 

the maximum number of Notes that will be issued under the Tranche 2 Offer is 187 Notes;

 

the number of shares of our common stock that may be issued on conversion of Notes is determined by dividing the face value of each Note converted by the conversion price in effect on the conversion date, as further described in the 2017 Deed (a copy of which is set out in Annex A hereto) and Annex B hereto. Based on the initial conversion price of US$8.655 per share, the maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be issued on conversion of the 187 Notes that are the subject of the Tranche 2 Offer (assuming the maximum number of Notes are issued in the Tranche 2 Offer) is approximately 2,160,601 (equivalent to 21,606,010 CDIs). The maximum number of shares of common stock which may be issued on conversion of the Notes, based on the floor price for conversion is 2,952,900 shares;

 

the Notes issued under the Tranche 2 Offer will all be issued on one date following the Annual Meeting and prior to June 30, 2017; and,

 

the Notes under the Tranche 2 Offer will be issued to the Noteholders listed on Schedule 2 of the 2017 Deed and certain other investors invited to apply for Notes and Options under the Tranche 2 Offer.

Consequences if the Proposal is Approved or Not Approved

If Proposal 2 is approved, and if Proposals 3 and 4 are also approved, the Company will be authorized to issue Notes under the Tranche 2 Offer.

If Proposal 2 is not approved, the Company would be unable to raise minimum gross proceeds of at least US$42.5 million by the issue of Notes by June 30, 2017, which will constitute an event of default under the terms of the Notes with the result that the Majority of Noteholders may declare the Notes immediately due and payable. If that occurs, the Company would need to raise funds from alternative sources in order to redeem the Notes and there is no guarantee that it would be able to do so.

Vote Required for Approval

Approval of Proposal 2 requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such proposal. Abstentions are considered shares present and entitled to vote and thus will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no direct effect on the outcome of this proposal.

-  10  -


 

Voting Exclusion Statement

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Proposal 2 by:

 

any person who is participating in the issue of the Notes and Options under the 2017 Deed;

 

a person who might obtain a benefit, except a benefit solely in the capacity of a holder of shares of our common stock, if each of Proposals 2 through 4 are passed; and,

 

any associate of those persons.

However, the Company need not disregard a vote if it is cast by a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the direction on the proxy card, or it is cast by the person chairing the Annual Meeting as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy card to vote as the proxy decides.

 

 

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE

“FOR” THE ISSUANCE OF NOTES UNDER THE TRANCHE 2 OFFER.

 

 

 

PROPOSAL 3 — issuance of Options UNDER THE TRANCHE 2 OFFER

Background

 

As described in Proposal 2 above, the Company entered into the 2017 Convertible Note Deed on April 22, 2017 with several investors to provide funding for the Company’s ongoing operating and capital needs. Under the 2017 Deed, the Company agreed to issue up to US$52.5 million of convertible notes under the Prospectus, which was prepared in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 6D of the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) , and lodged on ASIC on April 24, 2017.

Under the 2017 Note Deed, in addition to issuing up to 525 Notes, each with a face value of US$100,000, we will issue 4,500 Options for each Note issued to a Noteholder, up to an aggregate maximum of 2,362,500 Options.

Due to the 2017 Convertible Note Offering’s size exceeding the Company's 15 percent issuance capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the offering under the 2017 Deed will take place in two tranches. The Tranche 1 Offer took place on May 4, 2017 with the issue of 338 Notes and 1,521,000 Options to raise US$33.8 million, exclusive of costs of the transaction and the buy-back of shares from Medtronic, Inc. as described in the Prospectus. The Tranche 1 Offer was within the Company’s 15 percent issuance capacity and, therefore, did not require stockholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Tranche 2 Offer will require stockholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and, therefore, will occur if and when stockholder approval pursuant to Proposals 2 through 4 has been obtained (“Tranche 2 Offer”).

Terms of the Options

A summary of certain key terms of the Options is set out in Annex C hereto. A copy of the 2017 Deed (which sets out the full terms and conditions on which the Options will be issued to the Noteholders) is set forth in Annex A hereto.

The Options may be exercised at any time on or after the date of issuance. The Options will lapse 60 months from the date of issuance unless exercised. The Options will not be quoted on ASX. Shares of our common stock or CDIs issued pursuant to an exercise of the Options will rank, from the date of exercise, equally with the existing shares of common stock and CDIs of the Company in all respects.

The Options have an initial exercise price of US$5.00 per share of our common stock at any time prior to our completion of a Subsequent Financing or IPO (each as defined in the 2017 Deed). The exercise price will increase to the price at which shares are issued in a Subsequent Financing or IPO, but not to a price more than US$7.212 per share, if the price per share at which shares are issued in the Subsequent Financing or IPO exceeds US$5.00 per share.

There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and holders of the Options will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital that may be offered to stockholders (except where a holder has exercised Options before the record date to participate in such new issue).

If there is a bonus issue to the holders of CDIs after the date of issue of the Options, the number of CDIs over which an Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of CDIs which the holder would have received if they had exercised their Options before the record date for the bonus issue.

Additionally, if there is a pro rata issue (except a bonus issue) of securities to any holder of shares or CDIs of the Company after the date of issue of the Options, the then-applicable exercise price for the Option will be reduced in accordance with the formula set out in ASX Listing Rule 6.22.2.

Further details about the terms of the Options can be found in Annexes A and C hereto.

Use of Proceeds

The Company intends to use the net proceeds raised from the 2017 Convertible Note Offering to provide funding for the Company’s ongoing operating and capital needs including commercial launch activities, ongoing and expanded clinical trials, and feasibility testing and development of additional technologies.

ASX Listing Rules

We are seeking the approval of our stockholders for the purpose of approving the issuance of the Options under the Tranche 2 Offer pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits, subject to certain exceptions, a company from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities that would represent more than 15 percent of the company’s ordinary securities on issue 12 months prior to the date of issue (or agreement to issue) of such securities, without prior approval of a company’s stockholder.

The shares of common stock (represented by CDIs) that may be issued on conversion of the Notes and on exercise of the Options to be issued in the Tranche 2 Offer under the 2017 Deed, together with the Notes and Options issued in the Tranche 1 Offer, would exceed the 15 percent issuance limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1; accordingly, approval of the Company’s stockholders is required for the issuance of the Notes and Options under the Tranche 2 Offer.

By approving the issue of the Notes and Options in the Tranche 2 Offer, such securities will also be excluded from the calculation of the number of securities that can be issued by the Company in the 12-month period following the date of issue of the Notes and Options under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, therefore providing the Company with flexibility to issue further securities in the next 12 months, if the Board considers it is in the interests of the Company and its stockholders to do so.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following additional information is provided in relation to Proposal 3:

 

the maximum number of options to be issued under the Tranche 2 Offer is 841,500 options;

 

the maximum number of shares of our common stock which may be issued on exercise of the Options under the Tranche 2 Offer is 841,500 shares (equivalent to 8,415,000 CDIs);

 

there is no cash consideration payable for the issue of the Options. The Option exercise price (described above) will be payable in cash (if exercised);

 

the Options will be issued under the Prospectus. Assuming stockholder approval is obtained for the issue of the Options, the Options are expected to be issued on or before June 30, 2017;

 

the Options issued under the Tranche 2 Offer will all be issued on one date;

 

the issue of the Options under the Tranche 2 Offer will be made to the Noteholders listed on Schedule 2 to the 2017 Deed and to additional investors that may be made party to the 2017 Deed upon the execution of an instrument of adherence;

 

shares of our common stock (including any CDIs) issued pursuant to an exercise of the Options will rank, from the date of exercise, equally with the existing shares of common stock and CDIs of the Company in all respects; and

 

a summary of the terms and conditions on which the Options will be issued is set forth in Annex C hereto and the full set of terms and conditions on which the Options will be issued are set out in the 2017 Deed which is attached as Annex A hereto.

Consequences if the Proposal is Approved or Not Approved

If Proposal 3 is approved, and if Proposals 2 and 4 are also approved, the Company will be authorized to issue Options under the Tranche 2 Offer.

If Proposal 3 is not approved, the Company would be unable to raise minimum gross proceeds of at least US$42.5 million by the issue of Notes by June 30, 2017, which will constitute an event of default under the terms of the Notes with the result that the Majority of Noteholders may declare the Notes immediately due and payable. If that occurs, the Company would need to raise funds from alternative sources in order to redeem the Notes and there is no guarantee that it would be able to do so.

-  12  -


 

Vote Required for Approval

Approval of Proposal 3 requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such proposal. Abstentions are considered shares present and entitled to vote and thus will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no direct effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Voting Exclusion Statement

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Proposal 3 by:

 

any person who is participating in the issue of the Notes and Options under the 2017 Deed;

 

a person who might obtain a benefit, except a benefit solely in the capacity of a holder of shares of our common stock, if each of Proposals 2 through 4 are passed; and,

 

any associate of those persons.

However, the Company need not disregard a vote if it is cast by a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the direction on the proxy card, or it is cast by the person chairing the Annual Meeting as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy card to vote as the proxy decides.

 

 

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE

“FOR” THE ISSUANCE OF OPTIONS UNDER THE TRANCHE 2 OFFER.

 

 

 

PROPOSAL 4 — re-approval of the 2014 notes

pursuant TO amendment of the 2014 deed

Background

As described in Proposal 2 above, the Company entered into the 2017 Deed on April 22, 2017 with several investors to provide funding for the Company’s ongoing operating and capital needs. Under the 2017 Deed, the Company agreed to issue up to US$52.5 million of Notes under the Prospectus, which was prepared in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 6D of the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) , and lodged on ASIC on April 24, 2017. As a condition precedent to the issue of the Notes and Options under the 2017 Deed, the Company agreed to enter into a second amendment to the 2014 Deed (the “Second Amendment”).

Pursuant to the 2017 Deed, the Tranche 2 Offer is subject to receiving stockholder approval of the Second Amendment, in order to, among other things, remove the 2014 Noteholders’ option to request redemption of the notes prior to maturity, remove the automatic conversion provision of the 2014 Notes, and subordinate the 2014 Notes to the new Notes.

A summary of certain key terms of the 2014 Deed is set out in Annex D to this Proxy Statement. Further details about the terms of the 2014 Notes, as well as a copy of the 2014 Deed can be found in our proxy statement filed with the SEC on October 14, 2014 (File Number 000-54192) (the “October 2014 Proxy Statement”).

The Second Amendment

The Second Amendment provides for the following modifications of the 2014 Notes and the 2014 Deed:

 

1.

removes the 2014 Noteholders’ option to request redemption of the 2014 Notes prior to maturity;

 

2.

removes the automatic conversion provision of the 2014 Notes; and,

 

3.

subordinates the 2014 Notes to the Notes.

None of the other terms of the 2014 Deed or 2014 Notes are modified by the Second Amendment.

Each of Goldman Sachs and Senrigan, as the sole 2014 Noteholders, as well as our Board of Directors, has approved the Second Amendment, which has been executed by all parties and will become effective automatically if Proposal 4 is approved.

Prior to the Second Amendment, the 2014 Deed provided the 2014 Noteholders the right to require the Company to redeem some or all of the 2014 Notes on June 30, 2017, if the 2014 Notes were not previously converted or redeemed by

-  13  -


 

such date. The Second Amendment removes this right and that the Company would not be required to redeem the 2014 Notes until the earlier of (a) the maturity date set forth in the 2014 Deed or (b) an event of default (as defined in the 2014 Deed).

Prior to the Second Amendment, the 2014 Deed provided that the Notes would automatically convert into our common stock in the event (a) we receive CE Mark approval for Fantom , (b) the average daily volume weighted-average market price of our CDIs equaled or exceeded A$0.60 for a period of 20 consecutive trading days, and (c) we completed a listing of our common stock on NASDAQ (or any other securities exchange approved by a majority of Noteholders). The Second Amendment removes the automatic conversion provision such that conversion of the 2014 Notes would only occur upon election of the 2014 Noteholders.

The Second Amendment also provides that the 2014 Notes will be subordinate in right of payment to the Notes. This was a specifically negotiated provision of the 2017 Deed and deemed necessary to induce the Noteholders to enter into the 2017 Deed.

A copy of the Second Amendment is contained in Annex E to this Proxy Statement.

Our Board believes the modifications to the 2014 Deed are, on the whole, beneficial to the Company, including due to the fact that we would be unable to complete the offer of Notes and Options under the 2017 Deed without the Second Amendment. The removal of the early redemption feature means that the Company will have additional time prior to a possible redemption of the 2014 Notes. Also, though the automatic conversion of the 2014 Notes would mean the Company would not be required to redeem them at maturity, based on the current trading price of our common stock, we believe that the 2014 Noteholders will elect to convert their 2014 Notes on or prior to the maturity date, absent any significant reduction in our share price.

If Proposal 4 is passed, the remainder of the 2014 Deed will remain unchanged.

ASX Listing Rules

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 broadly provides, subject to certain exceptions, that stockholder approval is required for the issuance of our securities where the securities proposed to be issued would represent more than 15 percent of our ordinary securities on issue 12 months prior to the date of issue of such securities. The shares of common stock (represented by CDIs) that may be issued on conversion of the 2014 Notes issued under the 2014 Deed would exceed the number of securities that can be issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without obtaining stockholder approval. While stockholder approval for the issue of the Notes was obtained at the meeting held on October 30, 2014, ASX is of the view that the Second Amendment is a material amendment to the Notes and that the Second Amendment therefore should not take effect unless a further stockholder approval is obtained.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Proposal 4:

 

250 notes were issued on November 14, 2014, and no additional 2014 Notes will be issued;

 

the number of shares of our common stock that may be issued on conversion of the 2014 Notes at the initial conversion price is determined by dividing the face value of a Note converted (translated from U.S. dollars into Australian dollars at the exchange rate fixed on the subscription date) by the conversion price in effect on the conversion date, subject to any adjustment of the conversion price as further described in the 2014 Deed. Based on the applicable exchange rate and the initial conversion price, the maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be issued on conversion of the 2014 Notes is 11,506,156 shares (equivalent to 115,061,558 CDIs). The maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be issued will increase if the conversion price is adjusted in accordance with the terms of the 2014 Deed, including upon certain reorganizations of share capital or issues of shares at less than the current market value;

 

each 2014 Note had an issue price of US$100,000;

 

the 2014 Notes were issued under a prospectus in accordance with the requirements of section 713 of the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (“ASIC”);

 

the issue of the 2014 Notes was made to Goldman Sachs and Senrigan; and,

 

a summary of certain key terms of the 2014 Deed is set out in Annex D to this Proxy Statement. Further details about the terms of the 2014 Notes, as well as a copy of the 2014 Deed can be found in the October 2014 Proxy Statement.

-  14  -


 

Consequences if the Proposal is Approved or Not Approved

If Proposal 4 is approved, and if Proposals 2 and 3 are also approved, the Second Amendment will automatically be effective and the Company will be authorized to issue Notes and Options under the Tranche 2 Offer.

If Proposal 4 is not approved, the Company would be unable to raise minimum gross proceeds of at least US$42.5 million by the issue of Notes by June 30, 2017, which will constitute an event of default under the terms of the Notes with the result that the Majority of Noteholders may declare the Notes immediately due and payable. If that occurs, the Company would need to raise funds from alternative sources in order to redeem the Notes and there is no guarantee that it would be able to do so.

Vote Required for Approval

Approval of Proposal 4 requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such proposal. Abstentions are considered shares present and entitled to vote and thus will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no direct effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Voting Exclusion Statement

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Proposal 4 by:

 

any person who is participating in the issue of the Notes and Options under the 2017 Deed (including Goldman Sachs and Senrigan);

 

a person who might obtain a benefit, except a benefit solely in the capacity of a holder of shares of our common stock, if each of Proposals 2 through 4 are passed; and,

 

any associate of those persons.

However, the Company need not disregard a vote if it is cast by a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the direction on the proxy card, or it is cast by the person chairing the Annual Meeting as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy card to vote as the proxy decides.

 

 

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE

“FOR” RE-APPROVAL OF THE 2014 NOTES PURSUANT TO AMENDMENT OF THE 2014 DEED.

 

 

 

PROPOSAL 5 — RATification of the TRANCHE 1

issuance of Notes and Options

Background

As described in Proposal 2 above, the Company entered into the 2017 Convertible Note Deed on April 22, 2017 to provide funding for the Company’s ongoing operating and capital needs. Under the 2017 Deed, the Company agreed to issue up to US$52.5 million of convertible notes and up to 2,362,500 options under the Prospectus, which was prepared in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 6D of the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) , and lodged on ASIC on April 24, 2017.

As described in Proposal 2 above, due to the 2017 Convertible Note Offering’s size exceeding the Company’s 15 percent issuance capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the offering under the 2017 Deed is taking place in two tranches. The Tranche 1 Offer closed on May 4, 2017 with the issue of 338 Notes and 1,521,000 Options to raise aggregate gross proceeds of US$33.8 million to the Company (noting that the Company received approximately US$21.3 million in net proceeds after the buy-back of all the shares held by Medtronic, Inc. for an amount of US$7.212 per share, aggregating total consideration of US$12,493,059, which was offset against Medtronic, Inc.’s commitments in respect of the Tranche 1 Offer). The Tranche 1 Offer was within the Company’s 15 percent issuance capacity and, therefore, did not require stockholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The Company is now seeking the approval of its stockholders solely pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the purpose of ratifying the issuance of the Notes and Options under the Tranche 1 Offer so that those securities will be excluded from the 15 percent limit set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, as described below, that can be issued by the Company in any 12-month period, if the Board considers it is in the interests of the Company and its stockholders to do so.

-  15  -


 

ASX Listing Rules

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits, subject to certain exceptions, a company from issuing securities or entering an agreement for the issue of securities that would represent more than 15 percent of the Company’s ordinary securities on issue 12 months prior to the date of issue (or agreement to issue) such securities, without the prior approval of the Company’s stockholders.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. This exception provides that where the stockholders ratify a previous issue of securities (that had been made without stockholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1), those securities will be excluded from the calculation of the number of securities that can be issued by the company in any 12-month period within the 15 percent limit set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, in addition to the information set out above, the following information is provided in relation to Proposal 5:

 

a total of 338 Notes and 1,521,000 Options were issued under the Tranche 1 Offer;

 

the issue price of each Note was US$100,000 and the issue price of the Options was nil; and,

 

the issue of Notes and Options under the Tranche 1 Offer was made to certain investors in Australia, Hong Kong, and the US, pursuant to the Prospectus filed with the SEC and ASX.

Terms of the Notes and Options Issued under the Tranche 1 Offer

The terms of the Notes and Options issued under the Tranche 1 Offer are set forth in Annexes A, B, and C to this Proxy Statement.

Any Shares issued on conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Options, will rank equally with all other shares of common stock of the Company.

Use of Proceeds

The Company intends to use the net proceeds raised from the 2017 Convertible Note Offering to provide funding for the Company’s ongoing operating and capital needs including commercial launch activities, ongoing and expanded clinical trials, and feasibility testing and development of additional technologies.

Consequences if the Proposal is Approved or Not Approved

If Proposal 5 is approved, it will have the effect of refreshing the Company’s 15 percent capacity to issue shares in the 12 months following the Annual Meeting, thereby providing the Company with the ability to issue further shares, including for the purposes of raising further capital for the Company, should the need arise.

If Proposal 5 is not approved, there will be no impact on the validity of the issuance of the Notes and Options issued under the Tranche 1 Offer. However, the Company’s ability to issue further securities in the 12-month period from the date of issuance of the Notes and Options under the Tranche 1 Offer will be limited, which could adversely impact the Company’s ability to implement its business plan over the coming year, unless stockholder approval is obtained in advance for an issue, or an alternative exemption applies under ASX Listing Rule 7.2.

Vote Required for Approval

Approval of Proposal 5 requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such proposal. Abstentions are considered shares present and entitled to vote and thus will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no direct effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Voting Exclusion Statement

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Proposal 5 by:

 

any person who participated in the Tranche 1 Offer under the 2017 Deed;

 

a person who might obtain a benefit, except a benefit solely in the capacity of a holder of shares of our common stock, if Proposal 5 is passed; and,

 

any associate of those persons.

However, the Company need not disregard a vote if it is cast by a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the direction on the proxy card, or it is cast by the person chairing the Annual Meeting as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy card to vote as the proxy decides.

 

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE

PROPOSAL 6 — RATIFICATIO N OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

The audit committee has selected Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (the “independent auditor”) to audit our financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017. We are asking our stockholders to ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent auditor because we value our stockholders’ views on the Company’s independent auditor even though the ratification is not required by our bylaws or otherwise. If our stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the audit committee will reconsider whether or not to retain Grant Thornton LLP as our independent auditor or whether to consider the appointment of a different firm. Even if the appointment is ratified, the audit committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent auditor at any time during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.

A representative of Grant Thornton LLP is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Vote Required for Approval

Ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock of the Company present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote. Abstentions are considered shares present and entitled to vote and thus will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no direct effect on the outcome of this proposal.

 

 

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS vote
“FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF OUR INDEPENDENT auditor.

 

 

 

PROPOSAL 7 — ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Board of Directors is providing stockholders with the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers in accordance with the rules of the SEC. This proposal, commonly known as a “Say on Pay” proposal, gives you, as a stockholder, the opportunity to endorse or not endorse our executive compensation programs and policies and the compensation paid to our named executive officers.

The Say on Pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the compensation committee or the Board. Although the vote is non‑binding, the compensation committee and the Board will review the voting results, seek to determine the cause or causes of any significant negative voting, and take them into consideration when making future decisions regarding executive compensation programs.

We design our executive compensation programs to implement our core objectives of providing competitive pay, pay for performance, and alignment of management’s interests with the interests of long‑term stockholders. Stockholders are encouraged to read the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this Proxy Statement for a more detailed discussion of how our compensation programs reflect our core objectives.

We believe stockholders should consider the following key aspects of executive compensation with respect to our named executive officers when voting on this proposal:

 

base salaries did not increase in fiscal year 2016, as compared to the 2015 base salaries;

 

in addition to base salaries, the executives have a potential for cash bonuses and equity awards that would comprise a significant percentage of total compensation. Bonuses were awarded for 2016 based upon achievements of milestones under a pre-defined program, as more fully described in the Compensation and Discussion Analysis presented in this Proxy Statement;

 

the Company grants long-term equity awards that link the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders; and,

 

our compensation programs were reviewed by the compensation committee and determined not to create inappropriate or excessive risk that is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

-  17  -


 

Recommendation

The Board believes the Company’s executive compensation program uses appropriate structures and sound pay practices that are effective in achieving our core objectives. Accordingly, the Board recommends that you vote in favor of the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders of REVA Medical, Inc. approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed pursuant to the SEC’s compensation disclosure rules, including the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and “Executive Compensation” sections of this Proxy Statement.”

Approval of the Say on Pay proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such proposal. Abstentions are considered shares present and entitled to vote and thus will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” this proposal. Broker non‑votes will have no direct effect on the outcome of this proposal.

 

 

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS vote

“FOR” APPROVAL, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

 

 

 

PROPOSALS 8 through 13 — STOCK OPTION GRANTS TO DIRECTORS

Introduction

Our Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the compensation committee, approved the grant of an aggregate 63,000 options to purchase 63,000 shares of our common stock (the “Options”) under the REVA Medical, Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, (the “Plan”) in the amounts of 10,500 Options to each of six non-executive directors of the Company, subject to obtaining stockholder approval for each grant at the 2017 Annual Meeting as required by the ASX Listing Rules. The Board also approved the award of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to non-executive directors, as discussed in Proposals 14 through 19 below.

The aggregate market value of the shares issuable on exercise of the Options proposed for grant to non‑executive directors is US$468,600 (or US$78,100 per each non-executive director) based on the ASX closing price of our CDIs and exchange rate on 30 April 2017 (Australian Time). As of April 30, 2017, the Company had a total of 1,840,148 options reserved for issuance for employees and non‑executive directors. Proposals 8 through 13 recommend the issuance of Options to non‑executive directors that constitute approximately 3.4 percent of the total number of stock options reserved for issuance.

Approvals

Our CDIs, each representing one-tenth of a share of our common stock, are listed on the ASX. ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a company must not permit a director to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme without the prior approval of stockholders. Accordingly, stockholder approval is now being sought for purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14 and for all other purposes for the grant of the Options to the non‑executive directors of the Company as described below.

Principal Terms of the Options

If Proposals 8 through 13 (inclusive) are approved by stockholders, the Options will be issued to the non‑executive directors as soon as practicable after the Annual Meeting and, in any case, no later than three years after the Annual Meeting. The Options to be issued to each of the non‑executive directors will be issued on the following terms and conditions:

 

(a)

Grant Price :  There is no consideration payable for the grant of the Options.  

 

(b)

Exercise Price :  The exercise price of the Options will be equal to the closing price of the Company’s CDIs on the ASX on the date of grant, as converted to US dollars. Any vested Options will be exercisable; unvested Options will not be exercisable. Upon exercise, each option will entitle the non-executive director to receive one share of REVA’s common stock.

 

(c)

Vesting Conditions :  The Options are scheduled to vest in equal quarterly installments over a 12-month period beginning on the three-month anniversary of the grant date. There are no performance conditions or other requirements attaching to the Options, other than the requirement that the non‑executive director to whom they are granted be a director of the Company at each relevant vesting date.

-  18  -


 

 

(d)

Lapsing of Options :  The Options will lapse in circumstances where:  

 

(i)

the Options have been exercised or otherwise settled;

 

(ii)

the non‑executive director ceases to be a director of the Company;

 

(iii)

there has been a change in control event (as defined in the Plan); or,

 

(iv)

the Options have not been exercised by the tenth anniversary of the date of grant.

As required by ASX Listing Rule 10.15A, the following information is provided for Proposals 8 through 13. The maximum aggregate number of Options that may be granted under Proposals 8 through 13 is 63,000 Options, comprising:

 

10,500 Options to Dr. Ross A. Breckenridge;

 

10,500 Options to Brian H. Dovey;

 

10,500 Options to R. Scott Huennekens;

 

10,500 Options to Gordon E. Nye;

 

10,500 Options to Robert B. Stockman; and,

 

10,500 Options to Robert B. Thomas.

Upon exercise, each Option will entitle the relevant non‑executive director to receive one share of REVA’s common stock. No loans have been or will be made by the Company to any non‑executive director in connection with the acquisition or exercise of Options or the underlying shares of common stock.

The securities received by our directors during the past three years under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 are presented in the “Non-Executive Director Compensation” section below. Our directors did not receive options or any other equity awards under the Plan subsequent to those approved at our 2016 Annual Meeting.

All of our directors are entitled to participate in the Plan. Details of any securities issued under the Plan will be published in the Company’s Annual Report relating to the period in which securities have been issued, together with a statement that approval for this issue of securities was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

Any additional persons who become entitled to participate in the Plan after approval of Proposals 8 through 13 and who are not named in this Proxy Statement will not participate until any applicable approval is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.  

Voting Exclusion Statement

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Proposals 8 through 13 by the directors of REVA or any associate of the directors of REVA. However, the Company need not disregard a vote if:  

 

it is cast by a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the direction on the proxy card; or

 

it is cast by the person chairing the meeting as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the direction on the proxy card to vote as the proxy decides.

Vote Required for Approval

Approval of Proposals 8 through 13 requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such proposals. Abstentions are considered shares present and entitled to vote and thus will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” a proposal. Broker non-votes will have no direct effect on the outcome of these proposals.

EXCLUDING Dr. Ross A. Breckenridge (Proposal No. 8), Brian H. Dovey (Proposal No. 9),

R. Scott Huennekens (Proposal No. 10), GORDON E. NYE (Proposal No. 11),

PROPOSALS 14 through 19 — RSU AWARDS TO DIRECTORS

Introduction

Our Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the compensation committee, approved the award of an aggregate 36,000 restricted stock units for 36,000 shares of common stock (the “RSUs”) under our 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, (the “Plan”) in the amounts of 6,000 RSUs to each of six non-executive directors of the Company as described below, subject to obtaining stockholder approval for each award at the 2017 Annual Meeting as required by the ASX Listing Rules. The Board also approved the grant of stock options to the non-executive directors as discussed in Proposals 8 through 13 above.

The aggregate market value of the shares underlying the RSUs proposed for award to the non‑executive directors is US$267,780 (or US$44,630 per each non-executive director) based on the closing price of our CDIs on the ASX and exchange rate on 30 April 2017 (Australian Time). As of April 30, 2017, the Company had a total of 1,840,148 securities reserved for issuance to employees and non‑executive directors. Proposals 14 through 19 recommend the award of RSUs to the non‑executive directors that constitute approximately 2.0 percent of the total number of securities reserved for issuance.  

Approvals

Our CDIs, each representing one-tenth of a share of our common stock, are listed on the ASX. ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a company must not permit a director to acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme without the prior approval of stockholders. Accordingly, stockholder approval is now being sought for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14 and for all other purposes for the award of the RSUs to each of the non‑executive directors of the Company as described below.  

Principal Terms of the Restricted Stock Units

If Proposals 14 through 19 (inclusive) are approved by stockholders, the RSUs will be issued to the non‑executive directors as soon as practicable after the Annual Meeting and, in any case, no later than three years after the Annual Meeting. The RSUs to be issued to each of the non‑executive directors will be issued on the following terms and conditions:  

 

(a)

Issue Price :  There is no consideration payable for the award, or upon vesting, of the RSUs.  

 

(b)

Vesting Conditions :  The RSUs are scheduled to vest on the earlier of (i) one year from the date of award or (ii) the day prior to our 2018 Annual Meeting. There are no performance conditions or other requirements attaching to the RSUs, other than the requirement that the non-executive director to whom they are awarded be a director of the Company on the vesting date.

 

(c)

Issuance of Common Stock :  Upon vesting, the RSUs will be settled by issuance of the same number of shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

(d)

Restrictions on Transfer of RSUs :  Prior to vesting, the RSUs may not be transferred, sold, exchanged, assigned, encumbered, or subjected to garnishment, except by transfer through a will or the laws of descent and distribution.  

 

(e)

Lapsing of RSUs :  The RSUs will lapse in circumstances where:  

 

(i)

the RSUs have been settled with issuance of the Company’s common stock;

 

(ii)

the non‑executive director ceases to be a director of the Company; or,

 

(iii)

there has been a change in control event (as defined in the Plan).

As required by ASX Listing Rule 10.15A, the following information is provided for Proposals 14 through 19. The maximum aggregate number of RSUs that may be awarded under Proposals 14 through 19 is 36,000 RSUs, comprising:

 

6,000 RSUs to Dr. Ross A. Breckenridge;

 

6,000 RSUs to Brian H. Dovey;

 

6,000 RSUs to R. Scott Huennekens;

 

6,000 RSUs to Gordon E. Nye;

 

6,000 RSUs to Robert B. Stockman; and,

 

6,000 RSUs to Robert B. Thomas.

Upon vesting, each RSU will entitle the relevant non‑executive director to receive one share of REVA’s common stock.

-  20  -


 

No loans have been or will be made by the Company to any non ‑executive director in connection with the vesting of RSUs.

The securities received by our directors during the past three years under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 are presented in the “Non-Executive Director Compensation” section below. Our directors did not receive options or any other equity awards pursuant to the Plan subsequent to those approved at our 2016 Annual Meeting.

All of our directors are entitled to participate in the Plan. Details of any securities issued under the Plan will be published in the Company’s Annual Report relating to the period in which securities have been issued, together with a statement that approval for this issue of securities was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

Any additional persons who become entitled to participate in the Plan after approval of Proposals 14 through 19 and who are not named in this Proxy Statement will not participate until any applicable approval is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.  

Voting Exclusion Statement

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Proposals 14 through 19 by the directors of REVA or any associate of the directors of REVA. However, the Company need not disregard a vote if:  

 

it is cast by a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the direction on the proxy card; or

 

it is cast by the person chairing the meeting as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy card to vote as the proxy decides.

Vote Required for Approval

Approval of Proposals 14 through 19 requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such proposals. Abstentions are considered shares present and entitled to vote and thus will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” a proposal. Broker non-votes will have no direct effect on the outcome of these proposals.

EXCLUDING Dr. Ross A. Breckenridge (Proposal No. 14), Brian H. Dovey (Proposal No. 15),

R. Scott Huennekens (Proposal No. 16), GORDON E. NYE (Proposal No. 17),

BOARD OF DIRECT ORS INFORMATION

Overview

Our Company is incorporated in the State of Delaware and, as a result, the rights of our stockholders are governed by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Our stock is traded in the form of CHESS Depositary Interests (or “CDIs”) on the Australian Securities Exchange (the “ASX”).

Nominees for Election as Directors

Our Board currently consists of seven members and is divided into three classes. Class I and Class III comprise two directors each and Class II comprises three directors. The directors in each class serve three‑year terms and in each case until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. The Board unanimously nominated Brian H. Dovey, who is our Chairman of the Board and a current Class I director, and Ms. Regina E. Groves, who is our chief executive officer, for election at the 2017 Annual Meeting.

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, which means that the two director nominees receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes will be elected. Both of the nominees have indicated their willingness to serve if elected, but if either of them should be unable to serve or for good cause will not serve, the shares represented by proxies may be voted for a substitute as REVA may designate, unless a contrary instruction is indicated in the proxy.

The following table sets forth information as of April 8, 2017 regarding the director nominees for election at the Annual Meeting, as well as the Class II and Class III members of our Board, whose terms are not currently up for election. The information includes each member’s business experience and service on other boards of directors, in addition to the qualifications, attributes, and skills that led our Board to the conclusion that each member should serve as a director.

While our Diversity Policy doesn’t contain specific guidelines in considering whether to recommend any director nominee, including any candidate recommended by stockholders, we believe that the backgrounds and qualifications of the directors, considered as a group, should provide a significant mix of experience, knowledge, and abilities that will allow our Board to fulfill its responsibilities. As set forth in our corporate governance guidelines, these criteria generally include, among other things, an individual’s business experience and skills (including skills in core areas such as operations, management, technology, accounting and finance, strategic planning, and international markets), as well as independence, judgment, knowledge of our business and industry, professional reputation, leadership, integrity, and the ability to represent the best interests of the Company’s stockholders. In addition, the nominating and corporate governance committee also considers a Board member’s ability to commit sufficient time and attention to the activities of the Board, as well as the absence of any potential conflicts with the Company’s interests. The nominating and corporate governance committee does not assign specific weights to particular criteria and no particular criterion is necessarily applicable to all prospective nominees. Our Board is responsible for selecting candidates for election as directors based on the recommendation of the nominating and corporate governance committee.

We believe that our current Board includes individuals with strong backgrounds in executive leadership and management, accounting and finance, and Company and industry knowledge. In addition, each of our directors has a strong professional reputation and has shown a dedication to his or her profession and community. We also believe that our directors’ diversity of backgrounds and experiences results in different perspectives, ideas, and viewpoints, which makes our Board more effective in carrying out its duties. We believe that our directors hold themselves to the highest standards of integrity and that they are committed to representing the long‑term interests of our stockholders.

Audit Committee

Our audit committee oversees our corporate accounting and financial reporting, including auditing of our financial statements. Among other things, our audit committee:

 

determines the engagement of, and approves fees paid to, our independent registered public accounting firm;

 

oversees and receives reports from the internal auditors;

 

reviews our financial statements and critical accounting estimates;

 

monitors the qualifications, independence activities, and performance of our independent registered public accounting firm and our internal auditors;

-  26  -


 

 

approves the retention of our independent registered public accounting firm to perform any proposed and permissible non-audit services; and,

 

discusses the annual audit results with management, the internal auditors, and the independent registered public accounting firm.

Our audit committee reviews the effectiveness of internal controls and the adequacy of our reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. In addition, our audit committee is responsible for the performance of our internal audit function, as well as preparing any reports required under SEC rules. The audit committee also provides advice to the Board and reports on the status of business risks pursuant to our risk management policy.

We have adopted an audit committee charter, a copy of which is available in the “Investors ─ Corporate Governance” section of our website at www.revamedical.com .

Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee establishes, amends, reviews, and approves the compensation and benefit plans with respect to senior management and employees, including determining individual elements of total compensation for the chief executive officer and other executive officers, and reviews our performance and the performance of our executive officers with respect to these elements of compensation. In carrying out its responsibilities, the compensation committee will review all components of compensation for consistency with our compensation philosophy and with the interests of stockholders. Our compensation committee reviews compensation practices and trends, identifies performance goals of our Company and our executive officers, and sets compensation in light of these objectives. Our compensation committee also determines annual retainer, meeting fees, equity awards, and other compensation for members of the Board and its committees and administers the issuance of stock options and other awards under our equity incentive plans.

Our compensation committee reviews and evaluates potential risks related to our compensation policies and practices for employees and has determined that we have no compensation risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. We structure our compensation to address Company‑wide risk. We believe the combination of base salary, bonus potential, and equity-based incentive awards with four‑year vesting periods, or vesting based on achievement of performances, is balanced and serves to motivate our employees to accomplish our business plan without creating risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our Company.

We have adopted a compensation committee charter, a copy of which is available in the “Investors ─ Corporate Governance” section of our website at www.revamedical.com .

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our nominating and corporate governance committee recommends the director nominees for each annual general meeting and ensures that the Board and the committees of the Board have the benefit of qualified and experienced independent directors. The committee’s primary responsibilities are to:

 

review the size and composition of our Board;

 

select, or recommend to our Board, nominees for each election of directors;

 

develop and recommend to our Board criteria for selecting qualified director candidates;

 

consider committee member qualifications, appointment, and removal;

 

recommend corporate governance principles, codes of conduct, and applicable compliance mechanisms; and,

 

provide oversight in the evaluation of our Board and each committee.

We have adopted a nominating and corporate governance committee charter, a copy of which is available in the “Investors ─ Corporate Governance” section of our website at www.revamedical.com .

Communications from stockholders are distributed by the Corporate Secretary to the Board or to the committee or director(s) to whom the communication is addressed, however the Corporate Secretary will not distribute items that are unrelated to the duties and responsibilities of the Board, such as spam, junk mail and mass mailings, business solicitations and advertisements, and communications that advocate the Company’s engaging in illegal activities or that, under community standards, contain offensive, scurrilous, or abusive content.

Identification and Evaluation of Nominees for Directors

Our nominating and corporate governance committee uses a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating nominees for director. The committee regularly assesses the appropriate size and composition of the Board, the needs of the Board and the respective committees of the Board, and the qualifications of candidates in light of these needs. Candidates may come to the attention of the committee through stockholders, management, current members of the Board, or search firms. The evaluation of these candidates may be based solely upon information provided to the nominating and corporate governance committee or may also include discussions with persons familiar with the candidate, an interview of the candidate or other actions the nominating and corporate governance committee deems appropriate, including the use of third parties to review candidates.

Director Attendance at Annual Meetings of Stockholders

We have a policy encouraging all of the directors to attend each annual meeting of stockholders. Ms. Keating and Mr. Thomas attended the 2016 AGM in person and Mr. Dovey attended it by teleconference. We currently anticipate a majority of our directors to be present at, or available for, the 2017 Annual Meeting.

Director Independence

In accordance with our corporate governance guidelines, the majority of our Board members are independent directors. Our Board considers that a director is independent when the director is not an officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries, does not have any relationship which would, or could reasonably appear to, materially interfere with independent judgment, and otherwise meets the independence requirements under the rules of the ASX, SEC, and NASDAQ. Our Board has reviewed the materiality of any relationship that each of our directors has with us, either directly or indirectly.

Based on this review, our Board has determined that:

 

Dr. Ross A. Breckenridge, R. Scott Huennekens, Anne J. Keating, Gordon E. Nye, and Robert B. Thomas are considered to be independent directors under the rules of the ASX, SEC, and NASDAQ;

 

Brian H. Dovey is considered to be an independent director under the rules of the SEC and NASDAQ, but is not considered to be independent under ASX standards as he is a principal of a firm that has held between 8.6 and 11.1 percent of the Company’s outstanding common stock;

 

Robert B. Stockman is not considered to be independent. Mr. Stockman resigned as our chief executive officer on September 18, 2015. Under ASX, SEC, and NASDAQ rules, a director is not independent until three years after such employment terminates; and,

 

Regina E. Groves, if elected, will not be considered to be independent. Ms. Groves currently serves as our chief executive officer. Under ASX, SEC, and NASDAQ rules, a director is not independent if currently serving as an employee of the company.

There are no family relationships among our directors and officers, nor are there any arrangements or understandings between any of our directors or officers or any other person pursuant to which any director or officer was, or is, to be selected as a director or officer.

Board Leadership Structure

Although Mr. Dovey is not considered to be independent by ASX standards, the Board considers his appointment as Chairman of the Board to be in the best interest of our Company and our Stockholders. The ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations provide guidance on corporate governance practices, including director independence, but are not binding rules or regulations. Mr. Dovey possesses detailed and in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities, and challenges facing the Company, and we believe he is the person best positioned to develop agendas that ensure the Board’s time and attention is focused on the most critical matters. Further, our Board believes that his decisive leadership ensures clear accountability and enhances our ability to communicate our message and strategy clearly and consistently to stockholders, employees, customers, and suppliers.

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

Our Board’s role in risk oversight includes receiving reports from members of management on a regular basis regarding material risks faced by the Company and applicable mitigation strategies and activities, at least on a quarterly basis. The reports cover the critical areas of development, regulatory and quality affairs, intellectual property, clinical development, operations, sales and marketing, and legal and financial affairs. Our Board and its committees consider these reports, discuss matters with management, and identify and evaluate any potential strategic or operational risks and appropriate activities to address those risks.

We have adopted a risk management policy that sets out how we identify, assess, and manage risk in business operations, a copy of which is available in the “Investors ─ Corporate Governance” section of our website at www.revamedical.com .

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No member of our compensation committee has at any time been our employee with the exception of Gordon E. Nye who served as our chief executive officer from 2001 to 2003. Except as set forth herein, none of our executive officers serves, or has served during the last fiscal year, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any other entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our Board or our compensation committee.

AUDIT-RELA TED MATTERS

Report of the Audit Committee

As of April 30, 2017, the audit committee of our board had three members, all of whom have been determined by our board to be independent under SEC and NASDAQ rules. Mr. Huennekens is considered to be an “audit committee financial expert” under applicable SEC rules.

In performing its functions, the audit committee acts only in an oversight capacity and necessarily relies on the work and assurances of management, the internal audit function as currently performed by an independent third party (the “internal auditor”), and Grant Thornton LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (the “independent auditor”), which, in its reports, express opinions on the conformity of the Company’s annual financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Management is responsible for the financial reporting process, the system of internal controls, including internal control over financial reporting, risk management, and procedures designed to ensure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. The independent auditor is responsible for performing an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements and expressing an opinion on the conformity of those financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, as well as expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, to the extent such opinion is required by the SEC. Th e audit committee r e c o g n i z e s t h e im p o r t an c e o f ma i n ta i n in g t h e in d e p en d en c e o f t h e C om p a n y s in d e p en d e n t a u d i t o r , b ot h i n f a c t an d a pp ea r an c e .

The audit committee held five meetings during the year ended December 31, 2016. At each meeting, the audit committee met with the independent auditor and the internal auditor, with and without management present, to discuss the following:

 

overall scope and plans for the Company’s audits;

 

the results of audits and quarterly reviews of the Company’s financial statements, in c l u di n g a discu s s i o n o f t h e quali t y , n o t ju s t t h e a cc e p ta b ili t y , o f t h e a cc ou n t i n g p rin c i pl e s ;

review of the Company’s compliance with internal controls; and,

 

the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting.

The audit committee also discussed with the independent auditor the matters required to be discussed by the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), including PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 16, Communications With Audit Committees , SEC rules, and other applicable regulations.

The audit committee and/or the Board also received from the Company’s independent auditor the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB Ethics and Independence Rule 3526, Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence , regarding their communications with the audit committee concerning independence and has discussed with the independent auditor its independence from the Company. The audit committee also has considered whether the provision of non-audit services to the Company is compatible with the independence of the independent auditor.

The audit committee has reviewed and discussed the annual consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 with management and the independent auditor. The audit committee has also discussed the results of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting with management.

Based on the review of the consolidated financial statements and discussions with management and Grant Thornton LLP, the audit committee recommended to the Board, and the Board has approved, that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. The Annual Report on Form 10-K was filed with the SEC and the ASX.

Policy Regarding Pre-Approval of Services Provided by the Independent Auditor

The audit committee has established an audit and non‑audit services compliance policy (the “Policy”) requiring pre‑approval of all audit and permissible non‑audit services performed by the independent auditor to monitor the auditor’s independence from the Company. The Policy provides for the annual pre‑approval of specific types of services and gives detailed guidance to management as to the specific services that are eligible for such annual pre‑approval and for all other permitted services. For all types of pre‑approval, the audit committee considers whether the provision of a non‑audit service is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.

Additionally, the audit committee considers whether the independent auditor is best positioned to provide the most effective and efficient service, for reasons such as its familiarity with the Company’s business, people, culture, accounting systems, risk profile, and other factors, and whether the service might enhance the Company’s ability to manage or control risk or improve audit quality.

All services require pre‑approval as set forth in the Policy and within the established guidelines prior to being provided by the independent auditor. In its review, the audit committee will also consider the relationship between fees for audit and non‑audit services in deciding whether to pre‑approve such services.

As provided under the Sarbanes‑Oxley Act of 2002 and the SEC’s rules, the audit committee has delegated pre‑approval authority to the chair of the audit committee to address certain requests for pre‑approval of services, and the chair must report his or her pre‑approval decisions to the audit committee at its next regular meeting. The Policy is designed to help ensure that there is no delegation by the audit committee of authority or responsibility for pre‑approval decisions to management. The audit committee monitors compliance by requiring management to report to the audit committee on a regular basis regarding the pre‑approved services rendered by the independent auditor. Management has also implemented internal procedures to promote compliance with the Policy.

The audit committee appointed Grant Thornton LLP for 2016 and selected them to serve as our independent auditor for the year ending December 31, 2017, subject to ratification by our stockholders.

Representatives of Grant Thornton will be present at the Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement, if desired, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

EXECUTIVE C OMPENSATION

The following discussion and analysis of compensation arrangements is designed to provide stockholders with an understanding of our compensation philosophy and objectives, as well as an overview of the analyses that we performed in setting executive compensation. It discusses the compensation committee’s determination of how and why, in addition to what, compensation actions were taken for the year ended December 31, 2016 for each person serving as our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as well as for our three other most highly compensated executive officers during 2016 (the “named executive officers”), all of whom were employed as of December 31, 2016, who were as follows:

 

Regina E. Groves, our Chief Executive Officer (age 59);

 

Katrina L. Thompson, our Chief Financial Officer and Secretary (age 58);

 

Jeffrey A. Anderson, our Senior Vice President, Clinical and Regulatory Affairs (age 50);

 

Richard M. Kimes, our Senior Vice President, Operations (age 55); and

 

Robert K. Schultz, Ph.D., our President and Chief Operating Officer (age 61).

This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on our current plans, considerations, expectations, and determinations regarding our business objectives and anticipated achievement under existing and future compensation programs. Actual compensation programs that we may adopt in the future may differ materially from currently planned programs as summarized in this discussion.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview of Executive Compensation Program

Our compensation committee oversees our executive compensation program and determines executive compensation. Our compensation program is intended to align the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders by rewarding performance for the achievement of goals as established by the compensation committee. Our compensation approach for 2016 was tied to our pre-revenue stage and performance goals were set with the objective of advancing our product toward commercialization and, thereby, increasing stockholder value. Our compensation approach for 2017 is tied to successfully commercializing our first product, adequately capitalizing the Company, expanding our clinical trials, and sourcing feasible follow-on products for development and commercialization.

In an effort to ensure our 2016 executive compensation practices were comparable to those of similar public medical device companies, the compensation committee engaged Radford, an Aon Hewitt Company (“Radford”), an independent compensation consultant, to provide compensation advisory services that included the following:  

 

an assessment of our executive compensation philosophy and plan structures and objectives;

 

a review and update of our peer group of companies for compensation comparison purposes;

 

a review of market practices related to short-term cash incentive plans and long-term equity and other incentive trends in the medical device industry;

 

the collection of competitive compensation levels for each of our executive positions;

 

an assessment of our executives’ base salaries, cash bonuses, and equity compensation levels;

 

a review of our equity compensation strategy, including the development of award guidelines; and,

 

a review of broader equity trends, including burn rate, share overhang, and share allocation.

The compensation committee oversees, reviews, and approves all compensation programs, initiatives, and decisions relating to our executives. Our compensation program is designed to attract and retain talented employees, to motivate them to achieve our key financial, operational, and strategic goals, and to reward them for superior performance. As we commercialize our first product, add to our senior management team, and continue product development, we expect that the specific direction, emphasis, and components of our executive compensation program will continue to evolve. During 2016, the objectives of the compensation program included:

 

a program structure to attract and retain highly qualified executive officers;

 

guiding principles, including a comparative peer group and targeted market positioning for compensation elements;

 

alignment of executive compensation, individually and as a team, to the long‑term interests of stockholders by rewarding performance for achievements; and,

 

program flexibility to permit the accommodation of appropriate individual circumstances.

Compensation Process

Our compensation committee is responsible for establishing our compensation philosophy and setting the compensation levels for our executives, including base salaries, cash bonuses, and equity‑based incentive awards. To assist the compensation committee in their executive compensation evaluations, our chief executive officer prepares a report at the beginning of each fiscal year recommending base salaries, bonus targets, and equity‑based incentive awards for each executive officer. In addition to this report, our compensation committee considers market compensation data presented by Radford. The compensation committee in its sole discretion may accept or adjust the compensation recommendations it is provided. No executive officer is allowed to be present at the time his or her compensation is being discussed or determined by the compensation committee.

Benchmarking

As part of Radford’s advisory services to the compensation committee, Radford recommended a “peer” group, comprising 23 medical device or medical technology companies for purposes of benchmarking our compensation program in 2016. Each member of the peer group was selected based on an evaluation of the nature and location of its operations, number of employees, revenues and revenue growth, operating income or loss, outstanding securities, and market capitalization. Since we are a pre-revenue stage company and have not yet generated revenue or operating income, the selection of peer companies focused on those with annual revenues less than $100 million and a market capitalization less than $300 million. The following companies comprised our peer group for 2016:

Atricure

Harvard Bioscience

STAAR Surgical Company

CareDx

iCAD

SurModics

Cerus

Intersect ENT

Tandem Diabetes Care

CryoLife

IRIDEX

TearLab

Cutera

LeMaitre Vascular

Utah Medical Products

Entellus Medical

Misonix

Vascular Solutions

GenMark Diagnostics

Ocular Therapeutix

Veracyte

Hansen Medical

Sientra

 

The compensation committee reviewed market data made available by Radford to benchmark our executive compensation relative to the peer group. The compensation committee used this data to evaluate whether our executive compensation levels, including base salary and incentive awards, were within industry norms.

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the compensation committee analyzed updated market data with the assistance of Radford and made a determination to revise the Company’s peer group for 2017. Each member of the revised peer group was selected based on the same criteria used for the 2016 peer group, with emphasis on companies as similar to REVA as possible, except the criteria for market capitalization was revised to focus on companies between $150 million and $1 billion in market capitalization, reflective of our progress toward commercialization. As a result of the updated analysis, the following companies comprise our peer group for 2017:

Atricure

GenMark Diagnostics

STAAR Surgical Company

Cardiovascular Systems

Intersect ENT

SurModics

Cerus

IRIDEX

Tandem Diabetes Care

CryoLife

LeMaitre Vascular

Utah Medical Products

Cutera

Ocular Therapeutix

Vascular Solutions

Endologix

Sientra

Veracyte

Entellus Medical

 

 

Determination of Executive Compensation

In setting compensation for our executive officers, our compensation committee’s philosophy is to consider market levels of compensation, an executive’s contributions and responsibilities, and the goals and overall progress of the Company. Compensation for this purpose comprises total cash compensation, which includes base salary and annual cash bonus consideration, and long-term equity incentives. During 2016, with the assistance of Radford, the compensation committee measured our executives’ compensation against the peer group for 2016, generally targeting compensation between the 25 th and 75 th percentile of market.

In addition to market benchmarking, the compensation committee reviews the compensation recommendations of our chief executive officer (other than with respect to determining her own compensation), considers the Company’s overall performance and each executive’s individual contributions during the prior fiscal year, as well as each individual’s annual performance reviews based on achievement of annual goals. With respect to new hires, our compensation committee considers an executive’s background and historical compensation in lieu of prior year performance.

Components of Executive Compensation

Our current executive compensation program consists of the following components:

 

base salary;

 

performance-based cash bonus awards;

 

equity‑based incentives; and,

 

other benefits.

We combine these elements in order to formulate compensation packages that provide competitive pay; reward achievement of financial, operational, and strategic objectives; and, align the interests of our named executive officers with those of our stockholders.

Base Salary :   We provide our executive officers with a base salary to compensate them for the services they provide to the Company. In setting base salaries, our compensation committee considers the executive’s position, our success in achieving prior year corporate goals, the individual’s responsibilities, contributions, and performance during the prior year, relevant market data, and benchmark levels. The evaluations and recommendations proposed by our chief executive officer are also considered. Our compensation committee evaluates and sets base salaries following annual performance evaluations, as well as upon a promotion or other change in responsibility. We expect our compensation committee to continue these policies going forward.

For the year ended December 31, 2016, although our named executive officers had successfully achieved prior year personal and corporate goals and had continued to successfully carry out their responsibilities, our compensation committee determined to keep base salaries unchanged from the prior year, based on the recommendation of the chief executive officer, so that additional funds could be available for non-executive employee salaries. For 2017, the compensation committee determined to increase the base salaries of the named executive officers between three and five percent from the 2015 levels, based on general economic trends, rather than performance or market data. Following are the 2015, 2016, and 2017 base salaries for our named executive officers:

359,500

Performance-Based Cash Bonuses :    To help align each executive officer’s efforts with the Company’s operational, financial, and strategic goals, we have utilized a combination of discretionary bonuses and defined programs for cash bonuses. In considering and awarding cash bonuses, our compensation committee considers the executive officer’s position and individual responsibilities, contributions and accomplishments, and performance. The committee also evaluates the Company’s success in achieving corporate goals, relevant market data, and benchmark levels. The recommendations proposed by our chief executive officer are also considered.

The Company’s approach, however, is to ensure individual incentive payments will not be considered an entitlement. As a provision of her employment offer, Ms. Groves was guaranteed 50 percent of her bonus potential for 2016. None of the other executive officers were guaranteed bonuses.

For the year ended December 31, 2016, the compensation committee established a bonus program for the named executive officers; we had awarded bonuses on a discretionary basis for 2015. The 2016 bonus program was primarily based on the Company’s goals to complete clinical enrollments, submit for European CE Marking of the Fantom scaffold, and finalize preparations for commercial operations. Metrics related to these goals were defined at the beginning of 2016 and assigned individual weighting. Achievement of goals was measured each quarter, with final measurement at December 31, 2016. Bonus payout was scheduled for the first quarter of 2017. Each goal was assigned a target performance metric, as well as a minimum and maximum value. Achievement at target would result in earning 100 percent of that goal’s bonus value; achievement of the minimum criteria would result in earning 85 percent and achievement of the maximum criteria would result in earning 110 percent of the goals’ bonus values.

The 2016 Company goal achievement result applied universally to all executives; however, each executive was assigned an individual bonus target level, stated as a percent of base salary, to which the goal achievement applied.

At its meeting on February 1, 2017, the compensation committee determined to continue a bonus program for the named executive officers, similar in structure with defined company goals, weighting, and target, minimum, and maximum potential for each goal. The compensation committee also considered and set the 2017 individual bonus target levels at that meeting.

Equity‑Based Incentives :   In addition to base salary, we provide long‑term equity‑based incentives to our executives. These equity-based awards generally consist of options to purchase shares of our common stock, and in some cases, shares of restricted stock or restricted stock units (“RSUs”). We believe that equity-based incentives help further our compensation objectives by encouraging our executives to remain with us through at least the vesting period for these awards and providing them with an incentive to continue to focus on our long‑term financial performance and to build stockholder value.

Historically, our executive officers have received grants of equity awards at the time of hire or promotion, on an annual basis, and occasionally on an ad‑hoc basis. The grants of equity awards are made in accordance with our 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2010 Plan”).

During the year ended December 31, 2016, our Board granted equity-based incentives to our named executive officers as follows:

 

Regina E. Groves, Chief Executive Officer – options to purchase 330,000 shares of common stock (subject to vesting over a 4-year period).

 

Richard M. Kimes, SVP, Operations – options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock (subject to vesting over a 4-year period).

-  35  -


 

No equity-based incentives were awarded to Ms. Thompson, Mr. Anderson, or Dr. Schultz during 2016 because option grants and RSU awards to them in March 2015 were performance-based and designed to vest over a two-year period that would align with the Company’s timelines for commercialization and listing of its securities on a U.S.-based stock exchange. Through December 31, 2016, two of the option milestones had been achieved for total vesting of 65 percent; none of the RSU milestones had been achieved and, therefore, no RSUs had vested. The vesting schedule is as follows:

35%

 

35%

Cumulative revenue from Fantom sales of $5 million

 

35%

 

35%

We plan to continue to grant equity incentive awards, including stock options, restricted stock, and/or restricted stock units, to our executive officers upon hire, following promotions, and on an annual or occasional basis. The guidelines for initial grants are based on the executive’s position and the guidelines for annual grants are designed to partially replace the number of equity awards initially granted to the executive at hiring that vest after one year. For new hires, we also will consider the executive’s background and historical compensation when determining the equity incentive to grant or award. The actual number of options or shares of stock for an executive may be higher or lower than these guidelines, based on individual performance or extraordinary achievements.

Stock and Option Grant Practices :   All equity awards to our employees, consultants, and directors have been granted at no less than the fair market value on the date of the award or grant. The amount of realizable value related to such grants and awards is determined by our stock price following the dates of vesting and, therefore, will be determined by our financial performance in the time after award but prior to vesting. Whether the stock price moves up or down shortly after an award date is largely irrelevant for purposes of the equity awards.

The exercise price of any option grant and the value of any restricted stock or RSU award are determined by reference to the fair market value of the underlying shares, which the 2010 Plan defines as the closing price of our common stock. The closing price of our common stock is calculated in U.S. dollars based on the closing price of our CDIs traded on the ASX on the date of grant or award. However, because options have been, and will continue to be, granted at fair market value, such options only have cash value to the holder to the extent that the price of our common stock increases during the term of the option. Restricted stock awards and RSUs generally have cash value equal to the current stock price.

All vesting of equity-based incentive awards is subject to continued service to the Company. Certain stock options were granted that allow immediate exercise; any common stock issued upon exercise of those stock options is subject to a lapsing right of repurchase until fully vested. All options have a 10‑year term; the RSUs awarded in 2015 have a five-year life. Additional information regarding accelerated vesting prior to, upon, or following a change in control is discussed below under “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control.”

Severance and Change of Control Benefits

We have entered into employment agreements that require specific payments and benefits to certain executive officers in the event their employment is terminated following a change of control or in the event their employment is terminated without cause or by the executive for good reason. See “Employment Agreements” below.

Other Benefits

In order to attract and retain qualified individuals and pay market levels of compensation, we have historically provided, and will continue to provide, our executives with the following benefits:

 

Health Insurance – We provide each of our executives and their spouses and children the same health, dental, and vision insurance coverage that we make available to our other eligible employees.

 

Life and Disability Insurance – We provide each of our executives with the same life and disability insurance as we make available to our other eligible employees.

 

Pension Benefits – We do not provide pension arrangements or post‑retirement health coverage for our executives or employees. Our executives and other eligible employees may participate in our 401(k) defined contribution plan. We currently provide matching contributions equal to 25 percent of an employee’s deferral amount, to a maximum four percent of the employee’s salary, to the statutory limits.

 

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation – We do not provide any nonqualified defined contribution or other deferred compensation plans to any of our employees.

 

Perquisites – We limit the perquisites that we make available to our executive officers. Our executives are entitled to relocation expenses on their initial hire and other benefits with de minimis value that are not otherwise available to all of our employees.

Amounts do not reflect compensation received by our named executive officers. Rather, the amounts represent the aggregate grant date fair value of RSU and option awards. RSU values are determined by multiplying the ASX closing market price of our CDIs on the date of award, as converted to shares and U.S. dollars, by the number of units awarded. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes option model; for the assumptions used, see “Note 7 – Stock Based Compensation” of our notes to consolidated financial statements in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as filed with the SEC.

Non ‑Executive Director Compensation

In October 2010, our Board adopted our Independent Director Compensation Policy, pursuant to which non‑executive directors are compensated for their services on our Board. Prior to July 1, 2016, non-executive Directors earned the following fees as annual cash compensation under the policy:

 

a base fee of $35,000 for service during the year;

 

an additional fee of $5,000 to each committee chair for chair service during the year; and,

 

an additional fee of $15,000 to the Board chair for chair service during the year.

Following stockholder approval at our 2016 Annual Meeting, and effective July 1, 2016, our non-executive Directors earn the following fees as annual cash compensation under the policy:

 

a base fee of $40,000 for service during the year;

 

additional fees of $15,000 to the audit committee chair, $10,000 to the compensation committee chair, and $7,500 to the nominating and corporate governance committee chair; all such fees are for chair service during the year;

 

additional fees of $7,500 to each audit committee member (other than the chair), $5,000 to each compensation committee member (other than the chair), and $3,750 to each nominating and corporate governance committee member (other than the chair); all such fees are for member service during the year;

 

an additional annual fee of $25,000 to the Board chair for chair service during the year.

The fees payable pursuant to the Independent Director Compensation Policy are payable quarterly within thirty days of the beginning of each quarter.

In addition, under the Independent Director Compensation Policy, each director may receive an annual equity award, either a grant of options to purchase shares of our common stock or an award of restricted stock units with the Board chair eligible to receive double the annual equity grant; grants and awards are at the discretion of the Board. Any such grant or award will be subject to stockholder approval in accordance with ASX Listing Rules. Any option grants to directors will have an exercise price per share determined at the fair market value on the date of grant. Any options granted during and prior to the year ended December 31, 2013, and any options granted to newly appointed Board members, vest over four years, with 25 percent of the options vesting one year from the date of the grant, and 75 percent of the options vesting in equal monthly installments over the subsequent 36‑month period. In January 2014, our Board revised the vesting policy such that any options granted in 2014 or after will vest in quarterly installments over a 12-month period beginning on the three month anniversary of the grant date. Options exercised prior to vesting, if any, will be subject to a repurchase right by us until fully vested at the lesser of cost or fair market value.

Each director is also entitled to be reimbursed for reasonable travel and other expenses incurred in connection with attending Board meetings and any committee meetings on which he or she serves as a committee member.

The following table presents compensation to our non-executive directors during the year ended December 31, 2016. Employee directors do not receive compensation for their services as directors.

Amounts do not reflect compensation received by our directors. Rather, the amounts represent the aggregate grant date fair value of option and RSU awards. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes option model; for the assumptions used, see “Note 7 – Stock Based Compensation” of our notes to consolidated financial statements in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as filed with the SEC.

The following table presents the number of stock options granted and RSUs awarded under our 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, to our non-executive directors in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.14 following receipt of stockholder approval at each of our three most recent Annual Meetings. No RSUs were granted in 2014. All grants and awards were for nil consideration. Each option allows a director to purchase one share of our common stock and each RSU entitles a director to one share of our common stock upon vesting.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BE NEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The table on the following page presents information about the beneficial ownership of our common stock (as converted and aggregated for any holdings in the form of CHESS Depositary Interests) as of April 30, 2017 by:

 

each stockholder known to beneficially own five percent or more of our stock (“principal stockholders”);

 

each of our directors;

 

each of our named executive officers; and,

 

all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned and the percentage ownership by a person or entity, shares of common stock subject to options, warrants, or other conversions held by that person or entity that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of April 30, 2017 are deemed outstanding, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person or entity. To our knowledge, except as set forth in the footnotes to this table and subject to applicable community property laws, each beneficial owner named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares set forth opposite such owner’s name, based on information provided to us by such stockholders. Except as otherwise indicated, the address of each stockholder is c/o REVA Medical, Inc., 5751 Copley Drive, San Diego, California 92111, U.S.A.

SECTION 16 (a) BENEFICIAL OWN ERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of the common stock and other equity securities of our Company. Officers, directors, and greater than ten percent beneficial owners are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely upon information furnished to us and contained in reports filed with the SEC, as well as any written representations that no other reports were required, we believe that all required reports were timely filed during 2016, except for Senrigan Master Fund which inadvertently failed to file a Form 4 for two transactions that were subsequently reported on a Form 5.

 

 

 

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Policy for Approval of Related Party Transactions

Pursuant to the written charter of our audit committee, the audit committee is responsible for reviewing and approving all transactions in which we are a participant and in which any parties related to us, including our executive officers, our directors, beneficial owners of more than five percent of our securities, immediate family members of the foregoing persons, and any other persons whom our Board determines may be considered related parties, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. If advanced approval is not feasible, the audit committee has the authority to ratify a related party transaction at the next audit committee meeting. For purposes of our audit committee charter, a material interest is deemed to be any consideration received by such a party in excess of $120,000 per year.

In reviewing and approving such transactions, the audit committee shall obtain, or shall direct our management to obtain on its behalf, all information that the committee believes to be relevant and important to a review of the transaction prior to its approval. Following receipt of the necessary information, a discussion shall be held of the relevant factors if deemed to be necessary by the committee prior to approval. If a discussion is not deemed to be necessary, approval may be given by written consent of the committee. This approval authority may also be delegated to the Chair of the audit committee in respect of any transaction in which the expected amount is less than $250,000. No related party transaction may be entered into prior to the completion of these procedures.

The audit committee or its Chair, as the case may be, shall approve only those related party transactions that are determined to be in, or not inconsistent with, the best interests of us and our stockholders, taking into account all available facts and circumstances as the committee or the Chair determines in good faith to be necessary. These facts and circumstances will typically include, but not be limited to, the material terms of the transaction, the nature of the related party’s interest in the transaction, the significance of the transaction to the related party and the nature of our relationship with the related party, the significance of the transaction to us, and whether the transaction would be likely to impair (or create an appearance of impairing) the judgment of a director or executive officer to act in our best interest. No member of the audit committee may participate in any review, consideration, or approval of any related party transaction with respect to which the member or any of his or her immediate family members is the related party, except that such member of the audit committee will be required to provide all material information concerning the related party transaction to the audit committee.

Certain transactions with related parties will be subject to stockholder approval in accordance with ASX Listing Rules, including but not limited to, any issuances of securities to related parties.

Related Person Transactions

During our fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, there were no transactions, or currently proposed transactions, in which we were or are to be a participant involving an amount exceeding $120,000, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than the compensation arrangements with directors and executive officers, which are described under the “Executive Compensation” section, and transactions under that certain Convertible Note Deed dated September 25, 2014, as amended, which has been approved by our stockholders in accordance with ASX Listing Rules.

ADDITIONAL I NFORMATION

Stockholder Proposals for 2018 Annual Meeting

Stockholders interested in submitting a proposal for consideration at our 2018 Annual Meeting must do so by sending such proposal to our Corporate Secretary at REVA Medical, Inc., 5751 Copley Drive, San Diego, California 92111, U.S.A. Under the SEC’s proxy rules, the deadline for submission of proposals to be included in our proxy materials for the 2018 Annual Meeting is January 15, 2018 (U.S. Pacific Time). Accordingly, in order for a stockholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy materials for the 2018 Annual Meeting, any such stockholder proposal must be received by our Corporate Secretary on or before December 30, 2017 (U.S. Pacific Time), and comply with the procedures and requirements set forth in Rule 14a‑8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as the applicable requirements of our amended and restated bylaws. Any stockholder proposal received after December 30, 2017 (U.S. Pacific Time) will be considered untimely, and will not be included in our proxy materials. In addition, stockholders interested in submitting a proposal outside of Rule 14a‑8 must properly submit such a proposal in accordance with our amended and restated bylaws.

Our amended and restated bylaws require advance notice of business to be brought before a stockholders’ meeting, including nominations of persons for election as directors. To be timely, notice to our Corporate Secretary must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days no more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the preceding year’s Annual Meeting and must contain specified information concerning the matters to be brought before such meeting and concerning the stockholder proposing such matters. Therefore, to be presented at our 2018 Annual Meeting, such a proposal must be received by the Company on or after January 31, 2018 (U.S. Pacific Time) but no later than March 3, 2018 (U.S. Pacific Time). If the date of the 2018 Annual Meeting is advanced by more than 30 days, or delayed by more than 70 days, from the anniversary date of the 2017 Annual Meeting, notice must be received no earlier than the 120 th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90 th day prior to such annual meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such annual meeting, the 10 th day following the day on which the public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.

Householding of Annual Meeting Materials

We have adopted “householding,” a procedure approved by the SEC under which our stockholders who share an address will receive a single copy of the Annual Report and Proxy Statement, or a single notice addressed to those stockholders. This procedure reduces printing costs and mailing fees, while also reducing the environmental impact of the distribution. If you reside at the same address as another stockholder and wish to receive a separate copy of the applicable materials, you may do so by making a written or oral request to:  REVA Medical, Inc., 5751 Copley Drive, San Diego, California 92111, U.S.A. Attention:  Investor Relations; by calling, (858) 966-3045; or, by e-mailing to IR@revamedical.com . Upon your request, we will promptly deliver a separate copy to you. The Proxy Statement and our Annual Report are also available at www.envisionreports.com/RVA .

 

 

 

OTHER BUSINESS

The Board does not know of any other matters to be brought before the meeting. If other matters are presented, the proxy holders have discretionary authority to vote all proxies in accordance with their best judgment.

By order of the Board of Directors,

notwithstanding the issue of the Prospectus, to the extent that any action is required to be taken in order to facilitate the on-sale of Shares or CDIs by the Noteholder, to take such action (including, where required, issuing a further prospectus, cleansing notice or disclosure document in respect of the Shares or CDIs) to ensure that such Shares or CDIs will at all times thereafter be freely tradable on ASX.

 

6.12

The Shares and CDIs issued under clause 6.11.1 will rank pari passu with the Shares and CDIs on issue at Conversion and will be issued fully paid and free from all encumbrances.

 

6.13

The number of Shares (represented by CDIs) issuable upon Conversion of any Note shall be determined by dividing the Face Value of the Note Converted by the Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date.

Certificates

 

6.14

On redemption or Conversion of the Notes (as the case may be), the relevant Noteholder must deliver the Certificate(s) for the relevant Note(s) to the Company for cancellation.

Adjustments to conversion price

Undertaking Regarding Conversion

 

7.1

The Company agrees that it will not take any action (directly or indirectly), and will use its best efforts to ensure that no action is taken, that would otherwise result in the inability to issue CDIs or Shares on Conversion. The Company further agrees that it will not take any action that would result in a reclassification of its capital stock.

Adjustment for reorganisation of issued capital

 

7.2

If the Company at any time after the Subscription Date and before the Maturity Date:

 

7.2.1

effects a subdivision of its Shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before that subdivision will be proportionately decreased so that the number of Shares to be issued on Conversion of a Note is increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of Shares which are on issue after the subdivision; or

 

7.2.2

combines its issued Shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the combination will be proportionately increased so that the number of Shares to be issued on Conversion of a Note is decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of Shares on issue following the combination.

Any adjustment under this clause 7.2 will become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions

 

7.3

If the Company at any time after the Subscription Date and before the Maturity Date makes or issues, or fixes a record date for the determination of Securityholders entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable on the Shares in additional Shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before such event will be decreased as of the time of such issue or, in the event that a record date has been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:

 

7.3.1

the numerator of which will be the total number of Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issue or the close of business on such record date; and

 

7.3.2

the denominator of which will be the total number of Shares on issue immediately prior to the time of such issue or the close of business on such record date plus the number of Shares issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.

A-16

WEST275931237.13


 

Notwithstanding the above if the record date has been fixed and a dividend is not fully paid or if a distribution is not fully made on the date fixed for the payment of the distribution, the Conversion Price will be recalculated accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price will be adjusted pursuant to this clause 7.3 as at the time of actual payment of the dividend or distribution.

Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions

 

7.4

If the Company at any time after the Subscription Date and before the Maturity Date makes or issues, or fixes a record date for the determination of Securityholders entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in Securities of the Company (other than a distribution of Shares in respect of outstanding Shares), each Noteholder will receive, simultaneously with the distribution to Securityholders, a dividend or other distribution of such Securities in an amount equal to the amount of Securities that a Noteholder would have received if they had converted all of their Notes into Shares immediately before the date of such event.

Sale of Shares below market price

 

7.5

As at the date of this Deed, each Share issued to CDN is represented by 10 CDIs. In the event that the ratio of CDIs to Shares is adjusted (whether pursuant to an adjustment similar to those provided in clauses 7.2. 7.3 or 7.4 or otherwise) then the number of CDIs issued in respect of Shares issued on Conversion or deemed to be issued under this clause 7 will be adjusted to equal the then effective ratio of CDIs to Shares. The adjustments to the Conversion Price set out in clauses 7.2 to 7.4 (inclusive) are all made on a Shares basis (based on the overall capitalization of the Company).

 

7.6

If the Company at any time after the Subscription Date and before the Maturity Date issues or sells, or is deemed by the express provisions of this clause 7 to have issued or sold, Additional Shares (as defined below), other than as provided in clauses 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4 above, for an Effective Price (as defined below) less than the Current Market Price per Share on the date of the first public announcement of the terms of such issue or sale (a Qualifying Dilutive Issue ), then the Conversion Price will be reduced, as of the opening of business on the date of such issue or sale, to a price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale by a fraction:

 

7.6.1

the numerator of which will be:

 

7.6.1.1

the number of Shares outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale; plus

 

7.6.1.2

the number of Shares which the Aggregate Consideration (as defined below) received or deemed to be received by the Company for the total number of Additional Shares issued would purchase at the Current Market Price per Share on the date of the first public announcement of the terms of such issue or sale.

 

7.6.2

the denominator of which will be the number of Shares outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale plus the total number of Additional Shares issued.

 

7.7

No adjustment will be made to the Conversion Price in an amount less than US$0.01 per Share. Any adjustment required by clauses 7.5 and 7.6 will be rounded to the nearest US$0.01 per Share. Any adjustment otherwise required by clauses 7.5 or 7.6 that is not

A-17

WEST275931237.13


 

 

required to be made due to the preceding two sentences will be included in any subsequent adjustment to the Conversion Price .

 

7.8

For the purpose of making any adjustment required under clauses 7.5 and 7.6, the aggregate consideration received by the Company for any issue or sale of securities (the Aggregate Consideration ) will:

 

7.8.1

to the extent it consists of cash, be computed at the gross amount of cash received by the Company before deduction of any underwriting or similar commissions, compensation or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in connection with such issue or sale and without deduction of any expenses payable by the Company;

 

7.8.2

to the extent it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value of that property as determined in good faith by the Board;

 

7.8.3

if Additional Shares, Convertible Securities (as defined below) or rights or options to purchase either Additional Shares or Convertible Securities are issued or sold together with other stock or securities or other assets of the Company for a consideration which covers both cash or property other than cash, be computed as the portion of the consideration so received that may be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board to be allocable to such Additional Shares, Convertible Securities or rights or options; and

 

7.8.4

if the consideration or price determined pursuant to clauses 7.8.1 and 7.8.2 above (or any component thereof) is in a currency other than the Relevant Currency it will be converted into the Relevant Currency at the Prevailing Rate on the date of the first public announcement of the event giving rise to the adjustment.

 

7.9

For the purpose of an adjustment required under clauses 7.5 or 7.6, if the Company issues or sells:

 

7.9.1

stock, options, warrants, purchase rights, convertible notes or other securities convertible into Shares (such convertible stock or securities being referred to as Convertible Securities ); or

 

7.9.2

rights or options for the purchase of Shares or Convertible Securities,

and if the Effective Price of such Additional Shares is less than the Current Market Price per Share on the date of the first public announcement of the terms of such issue or sale of Convertible Securities or rights or options, or alternatively in the case of rights or options, at the date of exercise of those rights or options ( Exercise Date ), in each case the Company will be deemed to have issued (at the time of issue of such rights or options or Convertible Securities or, where applicable, the Exercise Date) the maximum number of Additional Shares which are issuable upon exercise or conversion thereof and to have received as consideration for the issue of such Shares an amount equal to the total amount of the consideration, if any, received by the Company for the issue of such rights or options or Convertible Securities plus:

 

7.9.3

in the case of such rights or options, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of such rights or options; and

A-18

WEST275931237.13


 

 

7.9.4

in the case of Convertible Securities, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion thereof (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities) provided that if the minimum amounts of such consideration cannot be ascertained, but are a function of antidilution or similar protective clauses, the Company shall be deemed to have received the minimum amounts of consideration without reference to clauses 7.5 or 7.6.

 

7.10

If the minimum amount of consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise or conversion of rights, options or Convertible Securities that constitute Additional Shares is reduced over time or on the occurrence or non-occurrence of specified events other than by reason of antidilution adjustments, the Effective Price will be recalculated using the figure to which such minimum amount of consideration is reduced; provided that if the minimum amount of consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise or conversion of such rights, options or Convertible Securities that constitute Additional Shares is subsequently increased, the Effective Price will be again recalculated using the increased minimum amount of consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise or conversion of such rights, options or Convertible Securities.

 

7.11

No further adjustment of the Conversion Price, as previously adjusted pursuant to clauses 7.5 to 7.11 (inclusive) upon the issue of such rights, options or Convertible Securities, will be made as a result of the actual issue of Additional Shares or the exercise of any such rights or options or the conversion of any such Convertible Securities. If any such rights or options or the conversion privilege represented by any such Convertible Securities expires without having been exercised, such Conversion Price as previously adjusted pursuant to clauses 7.5 to 7.11 (inclusive) upon the issue of such rights, options or Convertible Securities, will be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect had an adjustment been made on the basis that the only Additional Shares so issued were the Additional Shares, if any, actually issued or sold on the exercise of such rights or options or rights of conversion of such Convertible Securities, and such Additional Shares, if any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually received by the Company upon such exercise, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the Company for the granting of all such rights or options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration received for issuing or selling the Convertible Securities actually converted, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the Company (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities) on the conversion of such Convertible Securities, provided that such readjustment will not apply to prior conversions of the Notes.

 

7.12

For the purpose of making any adjustment to the Conversion Price required under clauses 7.5 to 7.11 (inclusive), “ Additional Shares ” will mean all Shares issued by the Company or deemed to be issued pursuant to clauses 7.5 to 7.11 (inclusive) (including Shares subsequently reacquired or retired by the Company), other than:

 

7.12.1

Notes or Options issued under this Deed;

 

7.12.2

Shares issued upon conversion of the Notes or upon exercise of the Options issued under this Deed;

 

7.12.3

A-19

WEST275931237.13

7.12.5

Shares issued under any Share Purchase Plan which is undertaken within six months of the date of the issue of Notes and Options to Noteholders under this Deed;

 

7.12.6

up to US$5 million worth of new Shares (calculated based on the VWAP of Shares or (where applicable) CDIs over the 20 Trading Days prior to the private placement, converted, where necessary, into the Relevant Currency at the Prevailing Rate as at the end of that 20 Trading Day period) under a private placement to sophisticated and institutional investors within six months of the date of the issue of the Notes and Options to Noteholders under this Deed at a price that is at least 95% of the VWAP of Shares or (where applicable) CDIs over the 20 Trading Days prior to the offer to such investors;

 

7.12.7

Shares with respect to which the Majority of Noteholders by Resolution have waived the anti-dilution rights provided for in clauses 7.5 to 7.11 (inclusive);

 

7.12.8

an adjustment which would contravene the Delaware General Corporate Law or the ASX Listing Rules;

 

7.12.9

Shares issued in an IPO; and

 

7.12.10

Shares issued in an offering following an IPO, provided that , the price per Share issued in such offering is not less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the then prevailing market price of the Company’s common stock.

References to Shares in clause 7.12 above will mean all Shares issued by the Company or deemed to be issued pursuant to clauses 7.5 to 7.11 (inclusive).

The “ Effective Price ” of Additional Shares will mean the quotient determined by dividing the Aggregate Consideration received, or deemed to have been received by the Company for such issue under clauses 7.5 to 7.11 (inclusive) for such Additional Shares by the total number of Additional Shares issued or sold, or deemed to have been issued or sold by the Company under clauses 7.5 to 7.11 (inclusive). In the event that the number of Additional Shares or the Effective Price cannot be ascertained at the time of issue, such Additional Shares will be deemed issued immediately upon the occurrence of the first event that makes such number of Shares or the Effective Price, as applicable, ascertainable.

Sale of Shares in an IPO

 

7.13

If the Company at any time after the Initial Subscription Date and before the Maturity Date completes an IPO at an IPO Price of less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately before such IPO (after taking into account all adjustments made under this clause 7 up to that date), then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to be the greater of (A) 1.2 multiplied by the IPO Price and (B) the Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately before such IPO divided by 1.2. For avoidance of any doubt, the Conversion Price cannot be adjusted upwards under this clause 7.13.

7.14.2

the number of Shares (and consequent number of CDIs) and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the conversion of a Note.

8.

Issue of SHARES on conversion of notes AND EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

 

8.1

The Shares and CDIs issued upon Conversion of the Notes will be fully paid and will in all respects rank pari passu with the fully paid Shares and CDIs on issue on the relevant Conversion Date, except in any such case for any right excluded by mandatory provisions of applicable law and except that such Shares and CDIs will not rank for (or, as the case may be, the Noteholder will not be entitled to receive) any rights, distributions or payments on any record date or other due date for the establishment of entitlement in respect of the Shares or CDIs on issue on the relevant Conversion Date which falls prior to the relevant Conversion Date.

 

8.2

The Company shall not effect any conversion of the Notes or effect the exercise of any portion of the Option held by Medtronic, Inc. ( Medtronic ), and Medtronic shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Notes or exercise any portion of the Options, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable notice of exercise, Medtronic (together with such Medtronic’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with Medtronic or any of Medtronic’s Affiliates (such Persons, Attribution Parties )), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Shares beneficially owned by Medtronic and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Shares issuable upon conversion or exercise of any Note or Option, as applicable, with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Shares which would be issuable upon (i) conversion or exercise of the remaining, nonconverted or nonexercised portion of the Notes and Options, as applicable, beneficially owned by Medtronic or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Share equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by Medtronic or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this clause 8.2, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by Medtronic that the Company is not

A-21

WEST275931237.13


 

 

representing to Medtronic that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act and Medtronic is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this clause 8.2 applies, the determination of whether the Notes or Options are convertible or exercisable, respectively (in relation to other securities owned by Medtronic together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties), and of which portion of such Notes or Options are convertible or exercisable, as applicable, shall be in the sole discretion of Medtronic, and the submission of a notice of exercise shall be deemed to be Medtronic’s determination of whether a Note or Option is convertible or exercisable, as applicable (in relation to other securities owned Medtronic together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties), and of which portion of such Note or Option, as applicable, is convertible or exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination and shall have no liability for conversions or exercises of such Notes or Options, as applicable, that are not in compliance with the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (other than to the extent that information on the number of outstanding Shares is provided by the Company and relied upon by Medtronic). In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination and shall have no liability for conversions or exercises of the Notes or Options, as applicable, that are not in compliance with the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (other than to the extent that information on the number of outstanding Shares is provided by the Company and relied upon by Medtronic). For purposes of this clause 8.2, in determining the number of outstanding Shares, Medtronic may rely on the number of outstanding Shares as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the SEC, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of Medtronic, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to Medtronic the number of Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Notes and Options, by Medtronic or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding Shares was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 4.99% of the number of Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Shares issuable upon conversion or exercise of each Note or Option, as applicable. Medtronic, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this clause 8.2, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 19.99% of the number of Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Shares upon conversion or exercise of the Notes and Options held by Medtronic and the provisions of this clause 8.2 shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this clause 8.2 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

1.16

Execution Version

 

SCHEDULE 5:   AGREED ASX A NNOUNCEMENT

aTTACHMENT

Summary of Certain Key Terms of the Notes:

Face Value : the Notes each have a face value of US$100,000.

Form and Status : the Notes are direct, unsubordinated, unconditional and unsecured obligations of the Company in certificated form, and will at all times rank pari passu in right of payment with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated senior obligations of the Company (other than unsecured obligations preferred by mandatory provisions of law) and senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated obligations of the Company.

Maturity : the Notes mature and shall be repaid in an amount equal to Face Value plus accrued Interest on the earlier to occur of an event of default (as defined in the Deed) or the date 60 months from the date of issue of the Notes unless a Note has been previously converted, redeemed or cancelled.

Optional Redemption : a Noteholder may elect to cause the Company to redeem all or some of its Notes which have not otherwise been converted, redeemed or cancelled on the date which is 30 months after the date of issue of the Notes, at an amount equal to Face Value plus accrued Interest (“Redemption Value”), upon providing the Company with at least 30 calendar days prior written notice.

Redemption Following a Change of Control Event : following the occurrence of certain change of control events, as further described in the Deed, each Noteholder may give the Company an irrevocable notice requiring the Company to redeem all or any part of their Notes for the greater of (a) the Redemption Value (as defined under “Optional Redemption” above) and (b) the Cash Settlement Amount (as defined under “Option Conversion” below), provided such Noteholder gives written notice of its decision to redeem within five business days of the change of control event.

Stockholder Rights : the Notes do not provide the holder voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company unless and until converted.

Interest : interest will accrue in respect of the Notes at the rate of 8.0% per annum (increased to 10.0% per annum if any payments are past due); provided that interest is payable only upon redemption of the Notes for cash. No interest is payable on any Note that is converted into shares of common stock (represented by CDIs) in accordance with the terms of the Deed.

Optional Conversion : at any time following the date of issue of the Notes but prior to the maturity date, a Noteholder may give the Company an irrevocable notice electing to convert (the “Conversion Notice”) all or some of the Notes held by the Noteholder and specifying the number of Notes the Noteholder is electing to convert into shares of the Company’s common stock (represented by CDIs).

The terms of the Notes contain provisions for the adjustment of the conversion price, which will initially be US$8.655 per share of our common stock (or US$0.8655 per CDI), subject to adjustment as described under “Adjustment of Conversion Price” below.

The number of shares of the Company’s common stock (equivalent to 10 CDIs) to be issued upon conversion of the Notes is determined by dividing the face value of the Note converted by the conversion price in effect on the conversion date.

 

A-89

WEST275931237.13


 

Adjustment of Conversion Price : the terms of the Notes contain provisions for the adjustment of the conversion price upon the occurrence of certain events, including reorganisation of issued capital, certain dividends, distributions and issuance by the Company of equity securities at a price below current market value. If such events occur, the conversion price will be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Deed to ensure the economic value of the Notes is not adversely affected by the event.

Restrictions on Transfer : subject to certain conditions, a Note or Option may be assigned or transferred to affiliates of the Noteholder, other Noteholders and to any party that is not a direct competitor of the Company that will hold fifty percent (50%) or more of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, provided that the Notes may be transferred to any person, including a competitor of the Company, either upon the occurrence of a change of control event or while an event of default subsists.

Covenants : for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall not take certain actions, including, among other things, (i) declaring or paying any dividend, (ii) issuing any finance debt (as defined in the Deed) in excess of US$10,000,000, provided that such amount shall be increased to US$25,000,000 following an IPO, (iii) granting any security interest in respect of or dispose of the Company’s intellectual property, or (iv) substantially changing the general nature or scope of its business, subject to such exceptions as specified in the Deed.

NASDAQ Listing and Registration Rights : provisions of the Deed require the Company to use reasonable efforts to seek to list its common stock on NASDAQ as soon as practicable after December 31, 2017. Additionally, as a condition precedent to issue of the Notes and Options, the Company must enter into a First Amendment to its Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement with each Noteholder and each investor that is a party to the existing Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement with the Company dated September 25, 2014. The First Amendment to Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement will be substantially in the form set forth in Schedule 8 to the Deed and will provide each Noteholder, subject to the terms and conditions therein, with the right to require the Company to file a registration statement with the SEC in respect of any securities in the Company held by each such Noteholder to facilitate the sale of such securities on the same basis, and in the same circumstances, as each of the investors that are a party to the existing Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement.

Lock-Up Agreements :  Regina Groves (REVA’s Chief Executive Officer) has agreed to enter into a Lock-Up Agreement with the Noteholders whereby she will agree not to offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale, file a registration statement with respect to, or otherwise dispose of (including entering into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequence of ownership interests) any shares or CDIs of the Company or any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right receive any shares or CDIs of the Company, subject to certain exceptions as further described in the form of Lock-Up Agreement in Schedule 10 of the Deed.

Modifications to Notes : provisions of the Notes may generally be modified, amended or waived by at least three Noteholders that represent at least a majority of the outstanding principal face value amount of all outstanding Notes acting at a meeting or by written consent; provided, however, that unanimous consent of the Noteholders holding all of the outstanding notes is required to, amongst other items, (i) extend the term of the notes or their maturity date, (ii) reduce the amount of any payment of principal, interest, fees or any other payment obligation of the Company or (iii) change when and on what terms the Notes will convert or be redeemed, cancelled or otherwise repaid or prepaid.

Re: REVA Medical, Inc. - Lock-Up Agreement

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

This Lock-Up Agreement is being delivered to you in connection with the Convertible Note Deed (the “ Deed ”), dated as of April __, 2017 by and among REVA Medical, Inc. (the “ Company ”) and the investors party thereto (the “ Noteholders ”), with respect to the issuance of convertible notes (the “ Notes ”) which will be convertible into shares of common stock in the capital of the Company (the “ Shares ”), which will be represented by CHESS Depositary Interests (the “ CDIs ”) issued in accordance with the terms of the Deed. As used herein, “ Undersigned's Shares ” means: (i) all common shares and all CDIs owned directly or indirectly by the undersigned (including holding as a custodian) or with respect to which the undersigned has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and (ii) all options to purchase Shares or CDIs owned directly or indirectly by the undersigned (including holding as a custodian) or with respect to which the undersigned has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.   Other capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Deed.

In order to induce the Noteholders to enter into the Deed and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees that, commencing on the date hereof and ending on the first anniversary of the date hereof (the “ Lock-Up Period ”), the undersigned will not (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale, file a registration statement with respect to, or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of the Undersigned's Shares, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder with respect to any of the Undersigned Shares (collectively, a “ Disposition ”), or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any of the Undersigned's Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities or otherwise, including, without limitation, any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to any of the Undersigned's Shares or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from the Undersigned's Shares. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to the exercise of options or warrants or the conversion of a security outstanding as of the date hereof, provided , however, that the undersigned agrees that the foregoing sentence shall apply to any securities issued by the Company to the undersigned upon such an exercise or conversion.

A-106

WEST275931237.13


 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this Lock-Up Agreement will not apply to transfers by the undersigned of the Undersigned's Shares:

 

(i)

as a bona fide gift to an immediate family member of the undersigned;

 

(ii)

to any beneficiary of the undersigned pursuant to a will, trust instrument or other testamentary document or applicable laws of descent;

 

(iii)

if expressly required pursuant to a order of any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the undersigned; and

 

(iv)

in connection with a purchase, tender or exchange offer accepted by holders of more than 50% of the Shares of the Company, provided that each of the initial Noteholders named in Schedule 1 to the Deed has also agreed to accept such offer.

No transfer by the undersigned pursuant to items (i) and (ii) in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be permitted unless (a) prior to such transfer, the intended transferee (including the trustee or any trust) has signed and delivered to each of the initial Noteholders named in Schedule 1 to the Deed a lock-up agreement substantially in the form of this Lock-Up Agreement and (b) such transfer does not involve a disposition for value. For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, "immediate family" shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin.

The undersigned understands and agrees that this Lock-Up Agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned's heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns and agrees that it now has, and, except for transfers of the Undersigned’s Shares in accordance with the terms of this Lock-up Agreement, for the duration of the Lock-Up Period will have, good and marketable title to the Undersigned's Shares, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and claims whatsoever. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company's transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Undersigned's Shares except in compliance with this Lock-Up Agreement.

This Lock-Up Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts. Each counterpart when so executed shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

This Lock-Up Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflicting provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware, or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware to be applied. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal laws of the State of Delaware will control the interpretation and construction of this Lock-Up Agreement, even if under such jurisdiction's choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.

ANNE X B

Summary of Certain Key Terms of the Notes

Face Value:   the Notes each have a face value of US$100,000.

Form and Status:   the Notes are direct, unsubordinated, unconditional and unsecured obligations of the Company in certificated form, and will at all times rank pari passu in right of payment with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated senior obligations of the Company (other than unsecured obligations preferred by mandatory provisions of law) and senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated obligations of the Company.

Maturity:   the Notes mature and shall be repaid in an amount equal to Face Value plus accrued Interest on the earlier to occur of an acceleration event following an event of default (as those terms are defined in the Deed) or the date 60 months from the date of issue of the Notes unless a Note has been previously converted, redeemed or cancelled.

Optional Redemption:   a Noteholder may elect to cause the Company to redeem all or some of its Notes which have not otherwise been converted, redeemed or cancelled on the date which is 30 months after the date of issue of the Notes, at an amount equal to Face Value plus accrued Interest (“Redemption Value”), upon providing the Company with at least 30 calendar days prior written notice.

Failure of Company to redeem upon issue of optional redemption notice: if the Company defaults on its obligation to redeem the Notes in circumstances where a Noteholder has given the Company an optional redemption notice, then the following apply (a) the Company must procure that the board of directors establishes a financing committee ("Financing Committee") to consider how the Company should satisfy its obligations to redeem, pay or repay the Noteholders and make a recommendation to the board of directors as how the Company should satisfy its obligation to redeem, pay or repay the Noteholders (b) the Company must, unless it has determined in good faith and acting reasonably based on external legal advice, that to do so would constitute a breach of the fiduciary or statutory duties of the board of directors,  undertake all actions to implement the recommendations made by the Financing Committee in relation to repayment and redemption of the relevant Noteholders, and (c) the Company must procure that two persons approved by a resolution of Noteholders (made in accordance with the terms of the Deed) are appointed as directors of the Company until the Company has satisfied its obligation to redeem, pay or repay the Noteholder(s) pursuant to such optional redemption notice (at which point such directors must resign from the board of directors), with one such director being nominated by HEC Master Fund LP and the other being appointed by the Noteholder with the highest proportion of the Shares or CDIs, with such director being appointed the chair of the Financing Committee.

Redemption Following a Change of Control Event:   following the occurrence of certain change of control events, as further described in the Deed, each Noteholder may give the Company an irrevocable notice requiring the Company to redeem all or any part of their Notes for the greater of (a) the Redemption Value (as defined under “Optional Redemption” above) and (b) the Cash Settlement Amount (as defined under “Option Conversion” below), provided such Noteholder gives written notice of its decision to redeem within five business days of the change of control event.

Stockholder Rights:   the Notes do not provide the holder voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company unless and until converted.

B-1


 

Interest:   interest will accrue in respect of the Notes at the rate of 8.0% per annum (increased to 10.0% per annum if any payments are past due); provided that interest is payable only upon redemption of the Notes for cash. No interest is payable on any Note that is converted into shares of common stock (represented by CDIs) in accordance with the terms of the Deed .

Optional Conversion:   at any time following the date of issue of the Notes but prior to the maturity date, a Noteholder may give the Company an irrevocable notice electing to convert (the “Conversion Notice”) all or some of the Notes held by the Noteholder and specifying the number of Notes the Noteholder is electing to convert into shares of the Company’s common stock (represented by CDIs).

The terms of the Notes contain provisions for the adjustment of the conversion price, which will initially be US$8.655 per share of our common stock (or US$0.8655 per CDI), subject to adjustment as described under “Adjustment of Conversion Price” below.

The number of shares of the Company’s common stock (each equivalent to 10 CDIs) to be issued upon conversion of the Notes is determined by dividing the face value of the Note converted (translated from US dollars into Australian dollars at the exchange rate fixed on the date of issue of the Notes) by the conversion price in effect on the conversion date.

Adjustment of Conversion Price:   the terms of the Notes contain provisions for the adjustment of the conversion price upon the occurrence of certain events, including reorganisation of issued capital, certain dividends, distributions and issuance by the Company of equity securities at a price below current market value. If such events occur, the conversion price will be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Deed to ensure the economic value of the Notes is not adversely affected by the event.

Restrictions on Transfer:   subject to certain conditions, a Note or Option may be freely assigned or transferred  and a Noteholder may assign any of its rights or transfer any of its rights and obligations under the Deed (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the right to subscribe for Notes and Options) provided that (amongst other things) such assignment or transfer is not to a direct competitor of the Company that will hold fifty percent (50%) or more of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and any such assignee or transferee of any rights or obligations under the Deed accedes to the Deed.

Right of First Offer :  if the Company proposes to issue, incur or raise any finance debt it must first give each Noteholder a written notice that they propose to issue, incur or raise such finance debt.  Following receipt of a written notice, the Noteholders shall have a right of first refusal to enter into negotiations with the Company to agree terms for the new debt raising.  If the Noteholders do not express any interest or cannot agree terms in respect of the new debt raising, the Company may enter into discussions and negotiations with persons who are not Noteholders in relation to the new debt raising, subject to the terms of the Deed. Each Noteholder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in up to fifty percent (50%) of any such new debt raising. No person may at any time be allowed to participate in any new debt raising on terms more favourable than those offered to the Noteholders.

Covenants:   for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall not take certain actions, including, among other things, (i) declaring or paying any dividend, (ii) issuing any finance debt (as defined in the Deed) in excess of US$10,000,000, provided that such amount shall be increased to US$25,000,000 following an IPO, (iii) granting any security interest in respect of or dispose of the Company’s intellectual property, or (iv) substantially changing the general nature or scope of its business, subject to such exceptions as specified in the Deed.

B-2


 

NASDAQ Listing and Registration Rights:   provisions of the Deed require the Company to use reasonable efforts to seek to list its common stock on NASDAQ as soon as practicable after December 31, 2017. Additionally, as a condition precedent to issue of the Notes and Options, the Company must enter into a First Amendment to its Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement with each Noteholder and each investor that is a party to the existing Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement with the Company dated September 25, 2014. The First Amendment to Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement will be substantially in the form set forth in Schedule 8 to the Deed and will provide each Noteholder, subject to the terms and conditions therein, with the right to require the Company to file a registration statement with the SEC in respect of any securities in the Company held by each such Noteholder to facilitate the sale of such securities on the same basis, and in the same circumstances, as each of the investors that are a party to the existing Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement.

Lock-Up Agreements:   Regina Groves (REVA’s Chief Executive Officer) has agreed to enter into a Lock-Up Agreement with the Noteholders whereby she will agree not to offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale, file a registration statement with respect to, or otherwise dispose of (including entering into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequence of ownership interests) any shares or CDIs of the Company or any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right receive any shares or CDIs of the Company, subject to certain exceptions as further described in the form of Lock-Up Agreement in Schedule 10 of the Deed.

Modifications to Notes:   provisions of the Notes may generally be modified, amended or waived by at least three Noteholders that represent at least a majority of the outstanding principal face value amount of all outstanding Notes acting at a meeting or by written consent; provided, however, that unanimous consent of the Noteholders holding all of the outstanding notes is required to, amongst other items, (i) extend the term of the notes or their maturity date, (ii) reduce the amount of any payment of principal, interest, fees or any other payment obligation of the Company or (iii) change when and on what terms the Notes will convert or be redeemed, cancelled or otherwise repaid or prepaid.

An " Event of Default " includes, in summary:  

 

(a)

Failure to pay:   a failure by the Company to pay an amount due under and in the manner required by the Deed;

 

(b)

Cross default:   finance debt of the Group that, in aggregate, exceeds US$1,000,000, is not paid when due or becomes due and payable prior to its maturity date;

 

(c)

Revocation:   an authorisation, approval or consent material to the Company or its business is cancelled, repealed, revoked or terminated or has expired, amended or modified in a manner which is likely to have a material adverse effect (as defined in the Deed);

 

(d)

Failure to perform:   the Company fails to perform any material obligation under the Deed or the Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement;

 

(e)

Misrepresentation:   any warranty or representation made by the Company under the Deed becomes false or misleading or incorrect in any material respect when made;

 

(f)

Insolvency event:   an insolvency event (as defined in the Deed) occurs in relation the Company;

 

(g)

Breach of law:   the Company or any of its subsidiaries is in material breach of an applicable law, regulation, authorisation, listing rule, or court order, official directive or ruling of any Government Agency binding on it which is likely to have a material adverse effect (as defined in the Deed);

B-3


 

 

(h)

Termination:   any person becomes entitled to repudiate, terminate, rescind or avoid any material provision of the Deed or the Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement; or

 

(i)

Listing:   CDIs cease to trade on ASX or are suspended from trading for more than 5 consecutive trading days or, where the Company’s common stock is quoted on an alternative exchange, the shares of the Company’s common stock cease to trade or are suspended from trading on such exchange for more than 5 consecutive trading days.

 

(j)

1.3

Each Option confers the right to subscribe for one Share upon the payment of the exercise price ( Exercise Price ) of:

 

1.3.1

1.3.2

if the Option is exercised after an IPO or Subsequent Financing has occurred, the greater of (A) the applicable Subsequent Financing Price or IPO Price (as the case may be), but in no event to exceed US$7.212 and (B) US$5.00.

1.4

There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and Optionholders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital that may be offered to Securityholders (except upon exercise of the Options).

1.5

In the event of any re-organisation (including reconstruction, consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return of capital) of the issued capital of the Company, the Options will be re-organised as required by the ASX Listing Rules.

1.6

If there is a bonus issue (as defined in the ASX Listing Rules) to the holders of CDIs, the number of CDIs representing Shares over which an Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of CDIs which the Optionholder would have received if they had exercised their Options before the record date for the bonus issue.

1.7

In the event the Company proceeds with a pro rata issue (as defined in the ASX Listing Rules) (except a bonus issue (as defined in the ASX Listing Rules)) of securities to Securityholders after the date of issue of the Options, the Exercise Price for the Option will be reduced in accordance with the formula set out in ASX Listing Rule 6.22.2.

1.8

The Options will not be quoted on ASX or on any other securities exchange.

1.9

Shares and CDIs issued pursuant to an exercise of the Options will rank, from the date of issue, equally with the existing Shares and CDIs of the Company in all respects.

1.10

The Company will make an application to have those CDIs issued pursuant to an exercise of the Options listed for official quotation by ASX.

1.11

An exercise of only some of the Options will not affect the rights of the Optionholder to the balance of the Options held by them.

1.12

Immediately after receipt by the Company of a valid Exercise Notice and payment of the Exercise Price in Immediately Available Funds (and in any event no later than two Business Days thereafter), the Company must:

 

1.12.1

C-1


 

1.13

An Optionholder will be entitled to convert any CDIs received on exercise of an Option into Shares at any time pursuant to clause 24 of the Deed.

1.14

If, at the time of exercise of any Option, CDIs are no longer quoted on ASX, then on exercise of the Option the Company must (except as otherwise agreed in writing with the relevant Optionholder) issue directly to the Optionholder the number of Shares over which the Option is exercisable and must procure that those Shares are listed for trading on any securities exchange on which any of the Company’s Shares are tradeable.

1.15

The rights of the Optionholders and the obligations of the Company in relation to the Options are separate and independent of the Deed. They will survive the termination of the Deed and will be unaffected by any redemption, Conversion or other event in respect of the Notes.

1.16

At any time while Company is listed on an Alternative Stock Exchange, an Optionholder may elect by notice in writing to the Company for the Options to be exercisable directly into the form of securities listed on that Alternative Stock Exchange, in which case, on exercise of the Option the Company must (except as otherwise agreed in writing with the relevant Optionholder) issue directly to the Optionholder the number of securities as are equivalent to the number of Shares over which the Option is exercisable and must procure that those securities are listed for trading on that Alternative Stock Exchange.

SUMMARY OF CERTAIN KEY TERMS OF THE 2014 NOTE DEED

(excluding terms related to previously exercised options)

2014 Note Deed : The Convertible Note Deed dated September 25, 2014, entered into by and among the Company and Goldman Sachs International (“Goldman Sachs”) and Senrigan Master Fund (“Senrigan” and, together with Goldman Sachs, the “Noteholders”) as the holders of the convertible notes (“2014 Notes”), as amended by First Amendment to Convertible Note Deed dated February 11, 2016.

Face Value of 2014 Notes : 2014 Notes each have a face value of US$100,000.

Form and status : the 2014 Notes are direct, unsubordinated, unconditional and unsecured obligations of the Company in certificated form, and will at all times rank pari passu in right of payment with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated senior obligations of the Company (other than unsecured obligations preferred by mandatory provisions of law) and senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated obligations of the Company.  . We propose to amend the 2014 Note Deed to subordinate the 2014 Notes to the convertible notes issued pursuant to the Convertible Note Deed dated April 22, 2017. If Proposal 4 is approved, the 2014 Notes will be so subordinated

Maturity : the 2014 Notes mature and shall be repaid in an amount equal to Face Value plus accrued Interest on the earlier to occur of an event of default (as defined in the 2014 Note Deed) or the date 60 months from the date of issue of the 2014 Notes unless a Note has been previously converted, redeemed, or cancelled.

Optional Redemption : under the existing terms of the 2014 Notes, a Noteholder may elect to cause the Company to redeem all or some of its 2014 Notes which have not otherwise been converted, redeemed, or cancelled on June 30, 2017, at an amount equal to Face Value plus accrued Interest, upon providing the Company with at least 30 calendar days prior written notice. We propose to amend the 2014 Note Deed to remove this provision, as further described in the proxy statement. If Proposal 4 is approved, the optional redemption feature would be deleted in its entirety

Redemption following a Change of Control Event : following the occurrence of certain change of control events, as further described in the 2014 Note Deed, each Noteholder may give the Company an irrevocable notice requiring the Company to redeem all or any part of their 2014 Notes for the greater of (a) the Face Value of the 2014 Notes plus accrued Interest or (b) the Cash Settlement Amount (defined under “Option Conversion” below), provided Noteholder gives written notice of its decision to redeem within five business days of the change of control event.

Stockholder rights : the 2014 Notes do not provide the holder voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company unless and until converted.

Interest : interest accrues in respect of the 2014 Notes at the rate of 7.54% per annum (increased to 9.54% per annum if any payments are past due); provided that interest is payable only upon redemption of the 2014 Notes for cash. No interest is payable on any Note that is converted into shares of common stock (represented by CDIs) in accordance with the terms of the 2014 Note Deed.

Optional Conversion : at any time prior to the maturity date, a Noteholder may give the Company an irrevocable notice electing to convert (the “Conversion Notice”) all or some of the 2014 Notes held by the Noteholder and specifying the number of 2014 Notes the Noteholder is electing to convert into shares of the Company’s common stock (represented by CDIs).

The terms of the 2014 Notes contain provisions for the adjustment of the conversion price, which is initially A$2.50 per share of our common stock (or A$0.25 per CDI), subject to adjustment as described under “Adjustment of Conversion Price” below.

The number of shares of the Company’s common stock (equivalent to ten CDIs) to be issued upon conversion of the 2014 Notes is determined by dividing the face value of the Note converted (translated from U.S. dollars into Australian dollars at the exchange rate fixed on the subscription date for the Note) by the conversion price in effect on the conversion date.

Upon receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company may, in lieu of issuing shares of common stock (represented by CDIs) to the Noteholder, give the Noteholder notice that the Company is electing to redeem the 2014 Notes subject to the Conversion Notice for an amount equal to the number of CDIs which would have been issued on conversion multiplied by the average daily volume-weighted average price on the ASX of the CDIs during the 20 trading days after receipt of the Conversion Notice (the Cash Settlement Amount ).

Adjustment of Conversion Price (anti-dilution protection) : the terms of the 2014 Notes contain provisions for the adjustment of the conversion price upon the occurrence of certain events, including reorganization of issued capital, certain dividends, distributions, and issuance by the Company of equity securities at a price below current market value. If such events occur, the conversion price will be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the 2014 Note Deed to ensure the economic value of the 2014 Notes is not adversely affected by the event.  

Automatic Conversion : under the existing terms of the 2014 Notes, Noteholders shall automatically be deemed to have given the Company an irrevocable Conversion Notice in respect of all of the 2014 Notes then held by the Noteholder in the event that both (a) the average daily volume weighted-average price of the Company’s CDIs as traded on the ASX equals or exceeds A$0.60 for a period of 20 consecutive trading days and (b) the Company has received CE Mark approval for its Fantom product and (c) the Company completes the listing of its shares on NASDAQ (or another securities exchange approved by a majority of Noteholders). We propose to amend the 2014 Note Deed to remove this provision. If Proposal 4 is approved, the automatic conversion feature would be deleted in its entirety.

Restrictions on Transfer : subject to certain conditions, a Note or Option may be assigned or transferred to affiliates of the Noteholder, other Noteholders, and to any party that is not a competitor (as defined in the 2014 Note Deed) of the Company, provided that the 2014 Notes may be transferred to any person, including a competitor of the Company, either upon the occurrence of a change of control event or while an event of default subsists.  

Restrictions on issuance of Equity Securities : for so long as any 2014 Notes remain outstanding, the Company may not raise additional capital through the sale or issuance of its equity securities (or securities convertible or exercisable for such securities) except (i) upon the exercise or conversion of securities currently outstanding, (ii) up to an aggregate of 8,700,000 shares of common stock upon the issuance of securities pursuant to the Company’s incentive equity plans, (iii) upon a stock split or stock dividend to all holders of the Company’s common stock, (iv) as contemplated in the context of an initial public offering of the Company shares of common stock and associated listing on NASDAQ or following such an offering, (v) to the extent, acting in good faith and in accordance with their fiduciary duties to the Company under applicable law, the directors of the Company form the view that the failure to make such an offering would be a breach of their fiduciary duties, or (v) in certain other limited circumstances set forth in the 2014 Note Deed.  

Right of First Refusal : the Noteholders shall have a right of first offer and right of first refusal to acquire all or any portion of any finance debt (as defined in the 2014 Note Deed) that the Company determines to raise while the 2014 Notes remain outstanding, subject to certain limited exceptions.  

Covenants : for so long as any 2014 Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall not take certain actions, including, among other things, (i) declaring or paying any dividend, (ii) issuing any finance debt (as defined in the 2014 Note Deed) in excess of $10,000,000, (iii) granting any security interest in respect of or dispose of the Company’s intellectual property, or (iv) substantially changing the general nature or scope of its business, subject to such exceptions as specified in the 2014 Note Deed.  

NASDAQ Listing and Registration Rights : provisions of the 2014 Note Deed require the Company to use reasonable efforts to seek to list its common stock on NASDAQ as soon as practicable. Additionally, as a condition precedent to issue of the 2014 Notes and Options, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement with each Noteholder and each investor that was a party to the existing Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement with the Company dated December 16, 2010. The Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement is substantially in the form set forth in Schedule 8 to the 2014 Note Deed and provides each Noteholder, subject to the terms and conditions therein, with the right to require the Company to file a registration statement with the SEC in respect of any securities in the Company held by each such Noteholder to facilitate the sale of such securities on the same basis, and in the same circumstances, as each of the investors that are a party to the existing Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement.   If Proposal 4 is approved, we would be required to effect an SEC-

registered initial public offering of its shares and an associated listing on NASDAQ or any other securities exchange approved by a Majority of Noteholders as soon as practicable after December 31, 2017.

Lock-Up Agreements : Robert B. Stockman (our Chairman) and Robert K. Schulz (our Chief Operating Officer and President) each have entered into Lock-Up Agreements with the Noteholders whereby each agreed for a period of two years from the date of issuance of the 2014 Notes, not to offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale, file a registration statement with respect to, or otherwise dispose of (including entering into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequence of ownership interests) any shares or CDIs of the Company or any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right receive any shares or CDIs of the Company, subject to certain exceptions as further described in the form of Lock-Up Agreement in Schedule 7 of the 2014 Note Deed.  

Modifications to 2014 Notes : provisions of the 2014 Notes may generally be modified, amended or waived by Noteholders that represent at least two-thirds of the outstanding principal face value amount of all outstanding 2014 Notes acting at a meeting or by written consent; provided, however, that unanimous consent of the Noteholders holding all of the outstanding 2014 Notes is required to, amongst other items, (i) extend the term of the 2014 Notes or their maturity date, (ii) reduce the amount of any payment of principal, interest, fees, or any other payment obligation of the Company, or (iii) change when and on what terms the 2014 Notes will convert or be redeemed, cancelled or otherwise repaid, or prepaid. The Noteholders have approved the Second Amendment.
