Completion of Share Purchase Plan
Microba Life Sciences Limited (ASX: MAP) (Microba or the Company) is pleased to advise that it has
completed its capital raising, comprising the institutional Placement announced on 12 June 2026 and the Share
Purchase Plan (SPP), which closed at 5:00pm AEST on 22 July 2026. Together, the Placement and SPP have
raised approximately $5.41 million before costs.
Key Highlights
• Microba has completed its capital raising, with the institutional Placement and Share Purchase Plan
(SPP) together raising approximately $5.41 million before costs
• The $5.0 million institutional Placement announced on 12 June 2026 was complemented by the SPP,
which gave eligible shareholders the opportunity to invest at the same price as institutional investors, with
no brokerage or fees
• The SPP raised $407,500 through the issue of 8,150,000 New Shares at $0.05 per New Share, with
every valid application satisfied in full and no scale back applied.
• Eligible SPP shareholders will receive one free attaching New Option for every New Share, with
8,150,000 New Options to be issued, exercisable at $0.0625 and expiring three years from the date of
issue
• Funds will support the continued growth of Microba's core diagnostics business across Australia and the
UK, the delivery of a new testing product, and working capital
Microba Chief Executive Officer, Luke Reid, said: “I would like to thank our shareholders for their continued
support of Microba. Completing this capital raising gives us the financial strength to keep expanding clinical
adoption of our microbiome testing across Australia and the UK, and to bring our new testing product to market.
We are grateful to have shareholders who share our conviction in the opportunity ahead.”
SPP Overview
The SPP gave eligible shareholders in Australia and New Zealand the opportunity to invest on the same terms as
institutional investors in the Placement. The SPP raised $407,500 through the issue of 8,150,000 New Shares at
$0.05 per New Share. Every valid application will be satisfied in full, with no scale back applied. New Shares
issued under the SPP will rank equally with existing Microba ordinary shares from their date of issue. Eligible
shareholders will also receive one free attaching New Option for every New Share, exercisable at $0.0625 each
on or before the date three years after their issue.
The SPP was conducted under the prospectus dated 19 June 2026 issued under section 713 of the Corporations
Act 2001 (Cth).
The proceeds strengthen Microba's balance sheet and will support the continued expansion of clinical adoption of
the Company's microbiome testing across its Australian and UK operations.
General meeting and Placement
The issue of securities under the SPP, and the issue of the second tranche of the institutional Placement
(Tranche 2 Placement), were subject to shareholder approval. Microba held its general meeting on 24 July 2026,
at which all resolutions were passed.
