(a) On April 19, 2024, Kazia Therapeutics Limited (the “Company”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Alumni Capital LP (“Alumni Capital”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company may sell to Alumni Capital up to $15,000,000 (the “Investment Amount”), of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), representing fully paid ordinary shares, no par value (“Ordinary Shares”), with each ADS representing ten Ordinary Shares (the “Purchase Notice Securities”), from time to time during the term of the Purchase Agreement. In consideration for Alumni Capital’s execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued a warrant to Alumni Capital (the “Warrant”), valid for a term of three (3) years, entitling Alumni Capital to purchase ADSs (the “Warrant ADSs”) with a value (calculated based on the then-current ADS to Ordinary Share ratio) equal to five percent (5%) of the Investment Amount. The Warrant exercise price is variable and is equal to $6,000,000 divided by the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as of the time of exercise, multiplied by the then-current ADS to Ordinary Share ratio.  The Warrant limits Alumni Capital LP’s ownership of ADSs to the extent (but only to the extent) that such ownership would result in it, or any of its affiliates, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) more than 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding ADS’s.  Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant with Alumni Capital LP, the 9.99% exercise blocker (the “9.99% Exercise Blocker”) is applicable to the Reporting Persons and their affiliates.

 

(b) Includes 1,587,925 ADSs underlying the Warrant. Such ADSs represent beneficial ownership of 3.96% of the shares outstanding, based on 38,527,956 ADSs issued and outstanding as of August 9, 2024 plus 1,587,925 ADSs issuable upon exercise of the Warrant.
