By order of the Board S Underwood Wellington 16 May 2018 EXPLANATORY NOTES Resolution 3: Ratification of Previous Issue On 16 January 2018 the Company completed a placement of 47,750,000 fully paid ordinary shares (Placement) to wholesale and eligible investors at a price of $0.02 per share. This placement raised the sum of $955,000 to be used as working capital to support the launch of Arthrem in Australia, fund market development of Artevite in New Zealand and support product development. The directors were able to make this Placement under Listing Rule 7.3.5 up to a total of 20% of the issued capital of the Company. The placement was equal to approximately 9.38% of the issued capital of the Company immediately prior to the Placement. This resolution is being proposed by the Directors under Listing Rule 7.3.5(c) to restore the ability to issue shares back to the full 20% of the then issued capital of the Company immediately prior to any such issue. A major institutional shareholder required the Directors to participate in the Placement as a condition of its participation. The Directors are therefore not able to vote on this resolution. Failure to pass Resolution 3 will not affect the validity of the Placement but will reduce the number of shares that can be issued by the Company for a period of twelve months from 16 January 2018, i.e. until 16 January 2019. The Directors recommend to shareholders that they support Resolution 3. Resolution 4: Approval to issue Convertible Notes As noted in reports to shareholders, the Medsafe Alert issued on 15 February 2018 had a significant and immediate effect on the sale of all of the Company's products, particularly in New Zealand but also in Australia. Extensive advertising campaigns using television were underway for both Arthrem and Artevite and the Company was unable to reduce its promotional commitments. While support from pharmacies has been very positive, demand from the public was subject to a severe reduction in February and March. Sales in April have recovered well but are considerably less than budgeted originally and also less than those achieved in 2016 and 2017. As sales build in both New Zealand and Australia it will be necessary for the Company to raise additional capital to fund monthly shortfalls until a breakeven can be achieved. The Directors are of the view that an interest bearing Convertible Note issue to wholesale and eligible investors is the most appropriate funding mechanism at the moment. The terms of the convertible note issue are as follows: Par Value $1 each Minimum Subscription: $10,000 Payable Payable in full on application Security Unsecured Interest Interest at the rate of 6% per annum (simple interest calculated monthly) on the face value of the Convertible Note until the relevant Conversion Date or Redemption Date with interest paid in shares on conversion Term Up to 12 months Conversion Date First Conversion Date: 31 October 2018 at the option of the holder Final Conversion Date: 31 May 2019 Corporate Action In the event of the Company making an acquisition for shares the holders will have the right to convert the Convertible Notes into fully paid ordinary shares at the Conversion Price. In the event of a partial or complete takeover of the Company the holders will have the right to convert the Convertible Notes into fully paid ordinary shares at the Conversion Price Conversion Price The share price for the conversion of the Convertible Notes into ordinary shares shall be $0.005 cents per share (half a cent per share). Interest accrued shall be converted six monthly at a conversion price being the closing price share price on 31 October 2018 and 30 April 2019 (or the nearest preceding day on which any trading occurred) Dilution Effect The conversion of the minimum subscription of $300,000 of Convertible Notes will result in the issue of 60 million shares that will be equal to 9.03% of the enlarged capital of the Company. If the maximum of $1 million of Convertible Notes are issued then on conversion 200 million shares will be issued which will be equal to 24.86% of the enlarged capital of the company. It is not possible to calculate the impact of the conversion of accrued interest on the Convertible Notes because the conversion price for interest is dependent upon an unknown future event i.e. a share price. In any event the impact of the conversion of accrued interest is unlikely to be material Ranking Any shares issued as a result of the conversion of Convertible Notes or interest will rank pari passu with all other fully paid ordinary shares issued by the Company Voting Rights The Convertible Notes do not carry any voting rights. Variation of Terms If there is a material change in the circumstances of the Company, other than a Corporate Action, then the Company and holders of the Convertible Notes may agree to vary these terms Mr Tom Brankin, the Company's largest shareholder, has indicated his intention to subscribe for at least $300,000 of the Convertible Notes. Any share split or share consolidation undertaken by the Company will be reflected in the Convertible Notes. The Directors recommend that shareholders support the Resolution 4. General Comments The issue will proceed as soon as possible after the Annual Meeting and the directors expect to have the issue of Convertible Notes completed by 30 June 2018. If only Resolution 3 is passed then the Company will have the ability to issue up to approximately $600,000 of Convertible Notes without the need for shareholder approval. If only Resolution 4 is passed will be able to undertake the proposed offer of convertible notes under Rule 7.3.1, but will be restricted in the number of additional securities it can issue without shareholder approval for a period of 12 months following the Placement referred to in Resolution 3. If Resolution 5 is not passed then the Company will have to cease trading or negotiate the sale of its business. If both resolutions are passed, the Company will be able to undertake the proposed offer of Convertible Notes AND will increase its ability to issue additional securities under Rule 7.3.5 without needing to seek shareholder approval.
