Funding Update
Sydney, Australia, 23 November 2018: Recce Pharmaceuticals Ltd (ASX: RCE) (Company), the
company developing a new class of synthetic antibiotics, today announced it had received an
advance payment from Radium Capital (Radium) against future research and development tax
incentive funds.
The agreement with Radium, as originally announced to the ASX on 13 September 2018
(Agreement), sees of the Company receive payment of A$256,000, representing up to 80 per cent
of anticipated R&D Refund resulting from expenditure on R&D programs during the last quarter.
Fees payable to Radium include a small upfront fee, plus a reduced 1.16 per cent per month carry
rate on funds received, by way of offset against R&D refunds.
The funds will be used to advance the Company’s antibiotic development program.
The Agreement avoids diluting current shareholders, while confirming cashflows against R&D
applicable expenditure. The Company will repay the funds once received from the Australian
Government.
Radium supports private and listed companies by paying R&D refunds in advance at a minimal cost.
