Sio Capital Management, LLC is both (i) the holder of a significant equity interest in the Company’s sponsor, Medicus Sciences Holdings LLC, and (ii) a significant direct and indirect holder of shares in Anteris. Pursuant to Australian securities laws, the Company has filed, or will simultaneously herewith file, a notice with the ASX in connection with these relationships. The Company is not a direct or beneficial owner of any shares or other securities of Anteris.
The information set forth below under this Item 7.01 is intended to be furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
