Why Biolidics share price significantly dropped
|
|
|
Biolidics: Response to SGX Queries Question 1: Please explain and elaborate on the due diligence process conducted on Aytu, by the Company.
 
Company&rsquo s response: The Company had considered certain factors and conducted due diligence before appointing Aytu as the distributor for its test kits in the USA. These include assessing the financial standing of Aytu and conducting searches on Aytu on web-based global/financial databases, such as Bloomberg, Reuters and NASDAQ. The Company also noted that Aytu, which has been listed on NASDAQ since October 2017, has been appointed distributor for various pharmaceutical products addressing significant medical needs such as hypogonadism, cough and upper respiratory symptoms, insomnia and male infertility. Further, the Company also noted that Aytu has experience in obtaining regulatory clearance under Section 510(k) of the USA Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, from the US Food and Drug Administration, a federal agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services.
 
Question 2: Please explain if the Company and its business plans will be impacted by news on investigation of potential claims on behalf of purchasers of Aytu. Please disclose if there are any financial impact on Biolidics arising from this.
 
Company&rsquo s response: While the Company is not privy to the grounds of investigation of potential claims on behalf of purchasers of Aytu against Aytu (1), the Company believes that it would not be impacted by news on such investigation (the &ldquo Relevant News&rdquo ) as Aytu is only a distributor for the Company&rsquo s COVID-19 Antibody Test Kits.
 
The Company believes that the Relevant News is unlikely to have a material impact on its business plans in view of the following:
(1) The Company has completed the listing of its test kits under Section IV.D of the &ldquo Policy for Diagnostic Tests for Coronavirus Disease-2019 during the Public Health Emergency&rdquo of the USA which enables the Company to distribute, market and sell its COVID-19 Antibody Test Kits in the USA through various channels
(2) Based on the terms of the distributorship agreement as announced, Aytu is required to fulfill certain conditions in order to remain as the exclusive distributor for the COVID-19 Antibody Test Kits in USA, such as meeting the minimum purchase quantity within 3 months from the date ofsigning of the Agreement. If Aytu fails to meet these contractual conditions, the Company may appoint another distributor for the COVID-19 Antibody Test Kits and
(3) The Company may immediately terminate the distributorship agreement in the event of any breach of the terms of the agreement by Aytu or any of its sub-distributors, employees, agents or other representatives that have not been cured within 30 days following a written notification by Biolidics of such breach.
The Company will continue to monitor publicly available information on Aytu and will take appropriate steps to mitigate any potential negative financial impact on Biolidics arising from such developments.
 
Question 3: Based on the Bloomberg alert, on 17 April 2020, NBC News had issued the said report (the &ldquo NBC News Report&rdquo ) and on this news, Aytu&rsquo s stock price fell 8% on that day.
 
(a) Given that the Company had entered into the distributorship agreement with Aytu today, 23 Apr 2020, please disclose if the Company had been aware of the development pertaining to Aytu which was already made known publicly since 17 Apr 2020.
Company&rsquo s response: The Company was introduced to Aytu on or around 31 March 2020, by a business associate, who is based in Denver, Colorado, where Aytu is also based and was aware of the contents of the NBC News report entitled &ldquo Unapproved Chinese coronavirus antibody tests being used in at least 2 states&rdquo (&ldquo NBC News&rdquo ) on 17 April 2020 (2).
 
(b) When did the Company first become aware of the following, and what did the Company do to verify the information?
(i) investigation of potential claims by a law firm on behalf of purchasers of Aytu
(ii) allegations in the Bloomberg alert / NBC News.
 
Company&rsquo s response: The Company became aware of the investigation of potential claims by a law firm on behalf of purchasers of Aytu and the allegations in the Bloomberg alert / NBC News on 17 April 2020. The Company had not verified the information as the Company understands from Aytu that no law suit has been filed. In addition, the Company had evaluated and believed that Aytu is a suitable distributor based on the factors set out in the response to Question 1 above.
 
While the Company has not sought US legal counsel advice, the Company notes from the internet that at least three law firms have announced similar " investigations" on behalf of investors in Aytu. These firms have indicated that the press release may be considered " Attorney Advertising" , which the Company understands to be legal advertising by US law firms under the applicable law and ethical rules. The Company also notes that one of the law firm has launched similar investigations in respect of a number of listed entities, not just Aytu.

Oxley unit starts legal proceedings against ex-contractor of Cambodia projectFRI, APR 24, 2020 - 9:00 AMOXLEY Holdings' subsidiary, Oxley Gem (Cambodia), on April 1 commenced formal legal proceedings in Singapore against its former contractor Sino Great Wall Engineering (SGW). This is to seek compensation from SGW for all damages suffered due to repeated breaches of its contractual obligations, real estate developer Oxley Holdings said in a filing late Thursday night. SGW was the main contractor for The Peak, a 55-storey mixed hotel development project in Cambodia. In February this year, Oxley Gem had said  it was planning to seek compensation  for damages suffered, laying the blame for project delays on SGW. Oxley Gem called on the two performance bonds provided by SGW for the project, and terminated their contract in October 2019. In mid-March 2020, SGW had applied to the Cambodian courts to get Oxley Gem to suspend work on The Peak,  Oxley Holdings disclosed on Thursday. However, that hearing was rescheduled to a future date to be determined by the Cambodian courts, after SGW failed to attend the hearing for its own application. " Oxley Gem has been advised by its lawyers that SGW has no basis for its application and is seeking to dismiss SGW' s application," Oxley Holdings said. SGW has been evicted from the project site with effect from Feb 25, after Oxley Gem obtained an injunction order from the Cambodian courts, as it said SGW refused to vacate the site and was wrongfully occupying it. This resulted in further delays as the new contractor could not begin work. SGW sought to object to the eviction order, but the Cambodian courts rejected this objection, Oxley Holdings said on Thursday. The eviction order thus remains effective. The mainboard-listed developer added that its new contractor China Railway Urban Construction Group has since started work on The Peak and construction has " smoothly resumed" . Currently, none of the above legal proceedings has any impact on the progress of the project, Oxley Holdings noted. Construction is set to complete progressively from mid-2020 to 2021. Shares of Oxley Holdings closed at 21.5 Singapore cents on Thursday, down 0.5 cent or 2.3 per cent, before the announcement. https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/oxley-unit-starts-legal-proceedings-against-ex-contractor-of-cambodia-project   |

Hard for airlines to tap financial markets amid crisis: SIA Singapore Airlines (SIA) said its proposed $15 billion debt and equity capital-raising is needed because the worsening environment for aviation is making it difficult for airlines to tap financial markets. Its remarks were in response to questions raised by the Securities Investors Association (Singapore), or Sias, last night and ahead of Thursday' s extraordinary general meeting (EGM), when shareholders are to vote on the move. The fund-raising includes an $8.8 billion renounceable rights issue, which Sias fears may be dilutive for investors and will hit retail shareholders without the cash to take part. The other component is an additional issue of up to $6.2 billion in additional mandatory convertible bonds (MCBs) to be offered to shareholders via one or more rights issues down the line. Sias asked SIA why it is trying to raise cash via equity shareholders instead of debt. It replied that traditional funding opportunities remain limited. Secured financing and sale-and-leaseback transactions, for instance, would also create more cash outflow obligations, it added. Raising capital through issuing rights shares, rights MCBs and additional MCBs allows SIA to treat the capital raised as equity, which will strengthen its balance sheet. SIA said it had evaluated its requirements against funding sources to arrive at the $8.8 billion figure, an amount that would enable the company to meet those requirements " for a good part of financial year 2020/2021" . About $3.7 billion will be used for operating cash flow, $3.3 billion for capital expenditure such as new aircraft and aircraft-related payments and $1.8 billion for other fixed commitments such as debt servicing. SIA noted that the capital expenditure relates to orders placed in the past. Up to $6.2 billion in additional MCBs may also be issued within 15 months of the EGM to provide extra liquidity if the Covid-19 crisis is prolonged and the resources to prepare for recovery, said SIA. SIA said it had evaluated its requirements against funding sources to arrive at the $8.8 billion figure, an amount that would enable the company to meet those requirements " for a good part of financial year 2020/2021" . The $8.8 billion will be raised via a three-for-two issue of up to 1.78 billion shares to raise $5.3 billion, and an offering of up to S$3.5 billion in 10-year MCBs. The rights issue price of $3 a share represents a discount of 53.8 per cent to the last transacted price of $6.50 on March 25, the last trading day before the announcement, said SIA. It added: " The key consideration was to provide an opportunity... to shareholders to join this rights share issuance at an appropriate discount, so that you may all participate in the future growth of the company as we emerge from this downturn in at least the proportion you held in the company prior to it." The EGM will take place at 11.30am on Thursday and held via a live webcast and audio feed in line with Covid-19 control measures. Pre-registration can be done on SIA' s website, where shareholders may also submit questions by 11.30am on Monday. https://www.straitstimes.com/business/companies-markets/hard-for-airlines-to-tap-financial-markets-amid-crisis-sia |
