Funding Update
SYDNEY, Australia, 13 September 2018: Recce Pharmaceuticals Ltd (ASX: RCE) (Recce or the
Company), developing a new class of synthetic antibiotics, today announced it had entered into an
agreement with Radium Capital to receive advance payments of its R&D tax incentive funds.
The agreement sees the upfront payment of $543,699 and allows Recce to receive on-going
advances equivalent to 80 per cent of R&D applicable expenditure. Fees payable to Radium Capital
include an upfront fee of $768.90 plus 1.25 per cent per month carry rate on advanced funds
received, payable by way of offset against R&D refunds as part of the agreement. Funds received
will be used to advance the Company’s new-class of antibiotics development program.
The agreement avoids diluting current shareholders, while confirming cashflows against R&D
applicable expenditure. Recce will repay the funds advanced once received from the Australian
Government.
Radium Capital supports private and listed companies by paying R&D refunds in advance of their
receipt at a minimal cost. Recce expects to receive an above forecast $679,623 R&D rebate from
the Australian Government for FY18.
