Melbourne, Australia; 13 November 2026: Cynata Therapeutics Limited (ASX: “CYP”, “Cynata”, or the
“Company”) provides an update on its proposed Placement, originally announced on 4 November 2026, as
well as an update on the Company’s activities.
Placement
On 4 November 2026, the Company announced that the Underwriter of its recently completed pro rata
entitlement offer of $912,953.88 before costs (“Entitlement Offer”), Caravel Securities Pty Ltd ACN 655 357
915 (“Carasec”), had received firm commitments for a placement of approximately 55 million new, fully paid
ordinary shares (“Placement Shares”) at an offer price of $0.01 per Placement Share (the same offer price
as the Entitlement Offer), to raise ~$550,000 before costs.
The Company is pleased to announce that Carasec has now received firm commitments for an additional
~$200,000 worth of Placement Shares (representing ~20 million Placement Shares), resulting in a Placement
which will raise a total of ~$750,000 via the issue of ~75 million Placement Shares (subject to shareholder
approval).
As with the Entitlement Offer, one free attaching option (“Attaching Option”) will be issued for every three
Placement Shares issued. The Attaching Options will have the same terms as the Entitlement Options issued
under the Entitlement Offer, including an exercise price of $0.02 and an expiry date of 3 May 2029. Carasec
will act as lead manager for the Placement, and will receive a placement fee equal to 6% of the amount raised
under the Placement and 8,200,000 options to acquire Shares in the Company (“Placement Fee Options”).
The number of Placement Fee Options has been increased from 6,000,000 (as announced on 4 November
2026) to 8,200,000 given the increased size of the Placement. The terms of the Placement Fee Options will
be the same as the terms of the Attaching Options issued under the Placement. The Placement (including
the issue of Placement Shares and Attaching Options) and the issue of the Placement Fee Options will be

subject to shareholder approval, which will be sought at a General Meeting (“GM”), which is expected to be
held in January 2027. Details of the GM will be communicated in the coming weeks.
The Company has taken the decision to increase the size of the Placement in light of interest from
sophisticated investors. The proceeds of the Placement will be used to provide the Company with greater
flexibility to pursue potential transactions to secure rights to new assets, in addition to paying for the costs of
the Placement and providing further working capital, consistent with the use of funds outlined in the
Replacement Prospectus released on 12 October 2026. None of the additional ~20 million Placement Shares
will be issued to related parties.
Company Update
All material costs relating to recently completed Cymerus™ clinical trials and termination of employee and
service provider agreements have been paid (refer to the announcement of 6 July 2026 for background). The
Company is continuing to maintain its Cymerus™ intellectual property portfolio, including license agreements,
patents and cell lines.
The Phase 1/2 NEREID kidney transplant trial, which is being managed and funded by Leiden University
Medical Centre (LUMC) in the Netherlands, is still ongoing, with enrolment and treatment of the second cohort
of patients now complete. As announced on 4 December 2025, the independent Data and Safety Monitoring
Board (DSMB) review of the first cohort of patients in this trial found no episodes of kidney transplant rejection
and no safety concerns. The three patients in the first cohort each received a single infusion of CYP-001,1
in
addition to standard treatment. In the second cohort of the trial, a further three patients each received two
infusions of CYP-001, in addition to standard treatment. A DSMB review of the second cohort will take place
when the final patient in the second cohort has been followed up for six weeks after receiving the second
infusion of CYP-001. The Company will announce the results of the DSMB review once they are received
from LUMC.
The novel Cymerus™ platform technology continues to offer a genuinely differentiated approach to
manufacturing mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) at commercial scale from a single, consistent cell source,
and the Board is evaluating options for its further development.
Additionally, an important component of the Company’s strategy is to identify opportunities to acquire, in-
license or otherwise obtain rights to new pharmaceutical or biotechnology assets or development programs.
