EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

On May 23, 2019, Immuron Limited (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with ThinkEquity, a division of Fordham Financial Management, Inc., as representative of the several underwriters listed therein (the “Underwriters”), with respect to the issuance and sale in an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) by the Company of an aggregate of 500,000 American Depository Shares (“ADSs”) at a public offering price of $4.00 per ADS. Each ADS represents 40 ordinary shares, no par value per share.

 

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 75,000 ADSs, solely to cover over-allotments, if any. 

 

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriters and termination provisions.

 

The Offering is expected to close on May 29, 2019, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

 

The estimated gross proceeds to the Company are expected to be approximately $2,000,000 prior to deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other estimated offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to support its clinical trials and its non-clinical, manufacturing and regulatory activities as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The ADSs are offered by the Company pursuant to a registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-230762) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), which was declared effective by the Commission on April 17, 2019.

 

On May 23, 2019, the Company issued a press release announcing the pricing of the Offering. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto. Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

 

The legal opinion of Francis Abourizk Lightowlers, Australian counsel to the Company, relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the ADSs is filed as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.
