Background

Brisbane, Australia, 14 June 2022 - ResApp Health Limited (ASX:RAP) (ResApp or the Company) refers to the Scheme Implementation Deed (SID) announced on 11 April 2022 between the Company and Pfizer Australia Holdings Pty Limited) (a wholly-ownedsubsidiary of Pfizer Inc, a global biopharmaceutical company) (Pfizer) pursuant to which Pfizer would acquire 100% of the issued capital of ResApp by way of a scheme of arrangement (Initial Scheme). The consideration proposed under the Initial Scheme was a cash amount of A$0.115 per ResApp share (Initial Scheme Consideration).

As contemplated by the SID, ResApp commissioned BDO Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd (Independent Expert or BDO) to prepare a report to opine on whether the Initial Scheme was in the best interests of ResApp shareholders (IER).

On 30 May 2022, the Independent Expert provided a draft IER to the ResApp Board (Draft IER) which determined that the value of a ResApp share (on a controlling interest basis) was A$0.146 to A$0.277, with a preferred value of A$0.207 per ResApp share.

Given that the Initial Scheme Consideration was below the range set out in the Draft IER, following receipt of the Draft IER, ResApp and Pfizer engaged in a period of consultation and negotiation regarding the Scheme consideration.

Revised Scheme

ResApp and Pfizer confirm that the consultation process has resulted in the parties agreeing to increase the Scheme consideration to:

  • A$0.207 per share in cash, upon satisfaction of the Confirmatory Data Readout Condition (as described below) (Confirmed Data Consideration); or
  • A$0.146 per share in cash, in the event the Confirmatory Data Readout Condition is not satisfied (Unconfirmed Data Consideration).

A clinical validation study (Data Confirmation Study) is being undertaken to confirm that ResApp's COVID-19cough-based detection tool (COVID Algorithm) performs at or around the sensitivity and specificity reported by ResApp for its pilot study on 22 March 2022 (March Results) on additional clinical data collected from its India and US study recruitment sites.

The Confirmatory Data Readout Condition will be satisfied and the Confirmed Data Consideration will be payable in the event that both of the following requirements are satisfied:

  1. the Data Confirmatory Study shows that the COVID Algorithm performs with sensitivity at a minimum of, and no less than 6% below, the 92% sensitivity reported in the March Results and specificity at a minimum of, and no less than 9% below, the 80% specificity reported in the March Results; and
  2. the Data Confirmatory Study results are confirmed by an independent statistician (to be agreed between ResApp and Pfizer)

(together, the Confirmatory Data Readout Condition).

The results of the Data Confirmation Study and the independent statistician review are expected to be delivered on or around Monday, 20 June 2022. ResApp will announce the results once known.

The Confirmatory Data Readout Condition may only be waived by Pfizer at its discretion.

If the Revised Scheme is implemented, each ResApp shareholder on the Scheme Record Date will receive a cash amount of either A$0.207 or A$0.146 per ResApp share (each, the Revised Scheme Consideration), depending on the satisfaction of the Confirmatory Data Readout Condition outlined above.

The Confirmed Data Consideration of $0.207 per ResApp share implies an equity value on a 100% fully diluted basis of approximately A$180 million and represents:

  • 130.0% premium to the ResApp closing price of A$0.09 per share on 8 April 2022, being the last trading day prior to announcement of the Initial Scheme
  • 131.0% premium to the ResApp 1 month volume-weighted average price (VWAP) to 8 April 2022
  • 151.5% premium to the ResApp 3-month VWAP to 8 April 2022
  • 80.0% increase in value relative to the Initial Scheme Consideration of A$0.115 per share

The Unconfirmed Data Consideration implies an equity value range on a 100% fully diluted basis of approximately A$127 million and represents:

  • 62.2% premium to the ResApp closing price on 8 April 2022
  • 63.0% premium to the ResApp 1-month VWAP to 8 April 2022
  • 77.4% premium to the ResApp 3-month VWAP to 8 April 2022
  • 27.0% increase in value relative to the Initial Scheme Consideration of A$0.115 per share

On 13 June 2022, the Independent Expert provided a revised draft IER to the ResApp Board (Updated Draft IER) which contained a draft conclusion that the Revised Scheme was fair and reasonable to ResApp shareholders and therefore in the best interests of ResApp shareholders.

A full copy of the Revised Scheme Implementation Deed, including all applicable conditions, is attached to this announcement in Annexure A.

ResApp Board Unanimously Recommends the Revised Scheme

The Directors of ResApp unanimously recommend that ResApp shareholders vote in favour of the Revised Scheme at the Scheme Meeting, in the absence of a Superior Proposal and subject to the Independent Expert concluding in the final Independent Expert's Report (and continuing to conclude) that the Revised Scheme is in the best interests of ResApp shareholders.

Subject to those same qualifications, each member of the ResApp Board intends to vote, or cause to be voted, all ResApp shares held or controlled by them in favour of the Revised Scheme. Since the SID was announced on 11 April 2022, no party has engaged with ResApp with regard to evaluating or providing a competing proposal.

The Revised Scheme provides the opportunity for all ResApp shareholders to realise an attractive cash price for all their ResApp shares and avoid the risks associated with the execution of ResApp's long term strategy.

Tony Keating, CEO and Managing Director of ResApp said "The ResApp Board is pleased to announce the renegotiated agreement with Pfizer which represents a material increase in the consideration to be received. The Board believes this offer provides an attractive premium to the undisturbed ResApp share price, reduces the risk for shareholders by providing certainty through an all cash offer, while also valuing the upside potential of these COVID-19results. We believe that it represents significant value for all shareholders and the ResApp Board strongly recommends shareholders vote in favour of the transaction in the absence of a superior proposal."

An updated indicative Scheme timetable is set out below. A Scheme Booklet containing important information about the Revised Scheme and the Scheme Meeting, the reasons for ResApp Directors' recommendation, and the Independent Expert's report, is expected to be sent to ResApp shareholders in the coming weeks.
