Notice to U.S. persons: restriction on purchasing CDIs
Avita Medical is incorporated in the State of Delaware and its CDIs have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or the laws of any state or other jurisdiction in the United States. Trading of Avita Medical's CDIs on the Australian Securities Exchange (the "ASX") is not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act, as supplemented by a related "no action" letter issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to the ASX in 2000. As a result, the CDIs are "restricted securities" (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) and may not be sold or otherwise transferred except in transactions exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. To enforce the transfer restrictions, the CDIs will bear a FOR Financial Product designation on the ASX. This designation restricts CDIs from being purchased by U.S. persons. Finally, any hedging transaction with regard to the CDIs may only be conducted in compliance with the Securities Act.
