Background and use of proceeds
NSX has received commitments from investors aligned with the growth strategy of NSX via a placement that will raise $2.65 million before costs representing 58,888,891 new shares.

The Entitlement Offer price is $0.045 per New Share, representing a discount of approximately 21% to the last traded price of 5.7 cents on 11 August and 13% premium to the 45 day volume weighted average price of the shares of 3.98 cents as traded on the ASX.
Under the Offer, eligible shareholders will be entitled to subscribe for 1 New Share in NSX for every 5 existing Share held at 7:00 pm on Thursday 25 August 2022 (Record Date) at the offer price. Fractional entitlements will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares.
