Sydney, 20 December 2019 – Kazia Therapeutics Limited (ASX: KZA; NASDAQ: KZIA), an Australian oncology-focused biotechnology company, is pleased to announce the results of its Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders.
All resolutions were carried. The vote totals are attached. Kazia Chairman, Iain Ross, commented “we were pleased to complete our recent financing on terms that the Board considers very favourable, and with strong support from high-quality institutional investors. We have already begun putting the proceeds of this financing round to work, with the commencement of preparatory work on the ground-breaking GBM AGILE trial. Looking forward, calendar 2020 will see further transformative data read-outs across our pipeline, and the commencement of recruitment into GBM AGILE, which we expect to be the pivotal study to support FDA approval of GDC-0084. Today’s EGM result leaves the company with the flexibility and agility to seize any and all opportunities to further drive shareholder value in the year ahead, and we thank shareholders for their continuing support.”

Forget Startups: Why Magnetic Alliance is Betting on “Boring” Mid-Market Turnarounds
While Australia’s venture capital scene spent years chasing unprofitable tech startups and speculative high-growth plays, Mark Lim was quietly taking a radically different path. The Managing Partner of Magnetic Alliance Capital sees the nation’s richest investment opportunities hiding in plain sight: inside thousands of unglamorous, profitable, but operationally sluggish mid-market businesses.

Property answers to rates. Private credit answers to defaults. Even the […]
The listing fee vendors pay whether the house sells or not
Australia’s property portals collect more than $2 billion a year while national listings sit flat. An Australian-built AI platform is targeting the economics, not just the interface. An Australian vendor listing a home pays a vendor-paid advertising fee on top of agency commission. Rama Dwarapudi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of RealSearch, puts a typical […]
