Comment from Unilife Chief Executive Officer Alan Shortall
"Shareholders have voted overwhelmingly in favour of our
redomiciliation to the US. We consider this to be a resounding vote
of shareholder confidence in our plans to consolidate our position
as a US-based global leader in the design, development and supply
of innovative safety medical devices.
"We are now in a position to finalise preparations to list on
the NASDAQ stock exchange. Subject to the SEC declaring our
registration statement effective and NASDAQ approving our listing
application, trading on the NASDAQ exchange is expected to commence
in mid-February.
"I believe these steps will help consolidate our position as a
sustainable global business with the necessary expertise and
operational capabilities to service the needs of an expanding
network of pharmaceutical and healthcare customers. It will also
help us build relationships with US-based investors that have a
firm understanding of global pharmaceutical and healthcare
markets.
"The Board and I are confident that Unilife will continue to
deliver upon key commercial and operational milestones for 2010.
Over the coming 12 months we intend to complete our listing on
NASDAQ, expand our base of US investors, complete the
industrialisation program for the Unifil(TM) syringe, launch our
Unitract(TM) 1mL syringes, strengthen our relationships with
pharmaceutical and healthcare industry leaders, complete our new
global headquarters in Pennsylvania and continue to build a
world-class team. We look forward to building further value in the
Company on behalf of all our shareholders."
Unilife would also like to take this opportunity to inform
shareholders and optionholders that Federal Court approval of the
Schemes will be sought at 2.15pm on Thursday 14 January 2010 at Law
Courts Building, Queens Square, Sydney, New South Wales.
