IMPORTANT NOTICES
Options. The Company is therefore undertaking the offer of
SPP Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.
Prospectus
Neither ASIC nor ASX (or their respective officers) take any
responsibility for the contents of this Prospectus or the merits of
the investment to which this Prospectus relates.
This Prospectus is a transaction specific prospectus for an offer
of continuously quoted securities (as defined in the
Corporations Act) and options to acquire continuously quoted
securities and has been prepared in accordance with section
713 of the Corporations Act. It does not contain the same level
of disclosure as an initial public offering prospectus. In making
representations in this Prospectus regard has been had to the
fact that the Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of
the Corporations Act and certain matters may reasonably be
expected to be known to investors and professional advisers
whom potential investors may consult.
Similarly, ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 5) permits a listed
company to issue securities under a share purchase plan
without that issuance counting towards the Company’s
placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 where the
issuance satisfied the condition of the ASIC Instrument. Given
the Company is unable to satisfy the conditions of the ASIC
Instrument for the SPP, the issue of SPP Securities is subject to
Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
This approval is being sought at the General Meeting currently
scheduled to occur on 23 June 2025 at 10.30am (AEST). If
shareholder approval is given, the issue of SPP Securities (and
any Shortfall Securities) will not use up any of the Company's
placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Share price risk
Date and expiry date
This Prospectus is dated 20 May 2025 and was lodged with the
ASIC on that. This Prospectus expires at 5:00pm (AEST) on
the date which is 13 months after the Prospectus Date. No
Securities will be issued on the basis of this Prospectus after
this expiry date.
No exposure period
No exposure period applies to this Prospectus by operation of
ASIC Corporations (Exposure Period) Instrument 2016/74.
Eligible Shareholders and investors wishing to participate in the
SPP and Shortfall should note that the issue price of Shares
offered under this Prospectus, being $0.0185 per Share, is at a
premium to the closing price of Shares on the ASX as at 19
May 2025, the last trading date immediately before the date of
this Prospectus (being $0.017 per Share). This means at the
date of this Prospectus you are able to acquire Shares on
market at a lower price than the issue price under the Offers.
By applying for Securities under this Prospectus, an applicant
accepts the risk that the market price of the Shares may change
and may remain below the issue price under the Offers.
Not investment advice
The information in this Prospectus is not financial product
advice and does not take into account your investment
objectives, financial situation or particular needs. It is important
that you read this Prospectus in its entirety and seek
professional advice where necessary.
No person is authorised to give any information or to make any
representation in connection with the Offers, other than as is
contained in this Prospectus. Any information or representation
not contained in this Prospectus should not be relied on as
having been made or authorised by the Company or the
Directors in connection with the Offers.
Speculative investment
The Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus should be
considered highly speculative. There is no guarantee that the
Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus will make a return
on the capital invested, that dividends will be paid or that there
will be an increase in the value of the Securities in the future.
Prospective investors should carefully consider whether the
Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus are an
appropriate investment for them in light of their personal
circumstances, including their financial and taxation position.
Refer to Section 3 for details relating to the key risks applicable
to an investment in the Company’s Securities.
ASIC Instrument and ASX placement capacity
In certain circumstances, a listed company may undertake a
share purchase plan in accordance with the ASIC Corporations
(Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547
(ASIC Instrument). The ASIC Instrument allows a share
purchase plan to be conducted without the use of a prospectus
once in any consecutive 12-month period.
The Company is unable to rely on the relief granted by the ASIC
Instrument in respect of the SPP Options as the relief only
relates to offers of fully paid ordinary shares and the SPP Offer
under this Prospectus includes free attaching unquoted

LETTER FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR
Dear Investor,
On behalf of the Board, I am delighted to offer you this opportunity to invest in Atomo Diagnostics.
Atomo Diagnostics is an emerging leader in design and commercialisation of user-centred innovative,
accurate and reliable rapid diagnostic solutions. Atomo supplies unique technology and finished rapid
tests to various partners and markets, with its solutions used by both healthcare professionals and
untrained lay users, to detect and test for infectious diseases, chronic health conditions and consumer
wellness.
Most current rapid test solutions in market were designed initially for use in laboratories. Over time these
solutions have been increasingly deployed in settings closer to the patient such as doctor's offices and in
clinic and more recently for use in the home by consumers. Since the COVID-19 pandemic where athome testing was normalised, the market has seen increased acceptance of at-home testing, with
consumers more confident to test themselves and regulators and clinicians more cognisant of the ability
of rapid tests to effectively reach people through decentralised and at-home settings. This has included a
growing level of adoption of infectious disease self-testing in public health policy and procurement.
Atomo's innovative technologies and products simplify rapid test procedure and reduce errors common in
the rapid test process, with the usability of its solutions increasingly recognised in the diagnostic market.
This supports the expansion of Atomo’s existing business as well as the extension of the test menu being
offered to market using Atomo technology through partner arrangements and Atomo’s own product
offerings.
Capital raising activities
As announced to the market on 24 April 2025, Atomo has undertaken a two-tranche placement of Shares
and Options, with 46,929,731 Shares and 46,929,731 Options already issued under the Tranche 1
Placement to raise $868,200 (before costs), and binding commitments received for a further 67,989,186
Shares and 67,989,186 Options to raise an additional $1.25 million (approx.) (before costs) under
Tranche 2, which is conditional on shareholder approval (together the Placement), which is being sought
at the General Meeting scheduled for 23 June 2025.
The Options are to be unlisted and were offered on the basis of one free-attaching Option, for each Share
subscribed (and issued) under the Placement. Each Option is to have a nil issue price, an exercise price
of $0.04, and an expiry date of 36 months from their date of issue.
Atomo also announced on 24 April 2025 that it would undertake a share purchase plan (SPP) to offer its
existing Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to subscribe for Shares and Options, on the same terms as
offered under the Placement, to raise up to an additional $1 million (with the Directors to have discretion
to accept oversubscriptions should demand arise). In the event that not all Shares and Options are taken
up under the SPP, the Directors will invite certain parties identified by them to take up any shortall under
the Shortfall Offer.
The funds to be raised under the Placement and the Offers are to be used for general working capital
requirements, with specific allocations to be confirmed by the board once the capital available to the
business after costs is known. The intended Use of Funds based on the company securing the full
$3,126 million, is set out below:
