The
Amended and Restated Note
|
|
·
|
The
note has a face value of
US$12,500,000.
|
|
·
|
The
note may be converted by the holder into ADSs at any time prior to
the
third anniversary of the date of the original issuance of the note.
The
number of shares to be issued upon conversion of the note is to be
calculated by dividing the face value of the note to be converted
(and any
accrued but unpaid interest on the note) by the conversion price,
as
adjusted, of the ADSs.
|
|
·
|
The
conversion price is US$2.00 per ADS and may be adjusted under certain
circumstances, including, among others, in the event pSivida issues
securities at a lower price than the price at which the note may
be
converted and based on the market price of pSivida’s ADSs on April 30,
2007.
|
|
·
|
The
note matures 3 years after issuance and bears interest at the rate
of 8%
per annum.
|
|
·
|
Under
certain circumstances, pSivida may make interest payments in the
form of
ADSs.
|
|
·
|
The
note contains certain events of default which allow the Investor
to
accelerate the maturity of the note and permit the Investor to force
payment of the note in the event of a change of control of
pSivida.
|
|
·
|
pSivida
has the right, in certain specified circumstances, to force the Investor
to convert the note into ADSs, including if the ADSs are trading
at 200%
of the conversion price during a specified
period.
|
|
·
|
The
Investor has the right to require pSivida to prepay up to 50% of
the
original principal amount (i.e., $6,250,000) on July 31, 2007 and
January 31, 2008.
|
|
·
|
pSivida
may redeem the note, at its option, in whole or in part at any time
at a
price equal to 108% of the outstanding principal to be redeemed.
In
connection with any such redemption, pSivida will issue warrants
exercisable for a number of shares equal to 30% of such redemption
amount
divided by the then applicable conversion
price.
|
|
·
|
The
note will be secured by certain of pSivida’s royalty and other income
streams. The security interest in such Collateral shall be released
in
conjunction with the sale of the collateral and pSivida’s satisfaction of
any redemption required by the investor
following.
|
|
·
|
The
note contains various negative covenants, including limitations on
the
incurrence of debt and liens, and the maintenance of certain cash
levels.
|
| 3. |
The
Warrants:
|
|
·
|
The
warrants constitute options to acquire up to 5,700,000 ADSs at any
time on
or before the fifth anniversary of the issuance of the warrants.
|
|
·
|
The
per ADS exercise price under the warrants is US$1.80 and may be adjusted
under certain circumstances, including, among others, in the event
pSivida
issues securities at a lower price than the price at which the warrants
may be exercised or pSivida makes a pro rata issuance to shareholders.
|
|
·
|
There
is a limit of 4.99% in respect of the Investor and its affiliates’
beneficial ownership in pSivida, which may prevent it from
exercising part of a warrant (this limit may be increased or
decreased by the Investor upon written notice to
pSivida).
|
|
·
|
If
there is a fundamental transaction (such as a transaction which involves
a
change in control of pSivida or a transfer of substantially all of
its
assets), pSivida will use its best endeavors to procure that the
successor
entity assumes all of the obligations of pSivida under the
warrants.
|
|
·
|
Additional
warrants will be issued in the event that pSivida redeems all or
a portion
of the note in connection with an optional redemption or a sale of
collateral. Such warrants will have an exercise price based on the
average
market price prior to their
issuance.
|
| 4. |
Registration
Rights:
|
|
·
|
The
effectiveness deadline for registering shares issuable pursuant to
the
note and warrants will be extended to September 15, 2006 (with provisions
for a further extension if necessary). If the pSivida’s registration
statement is not effective by that date, pSivida will pay penalties
from
May 15, 2006 at a rate equal to 2.5% of the original purchase price
per
thirty day period.
