There are a lot of announcements out. I watched my modest parcel of ACL shares diminish by 7% today, probably due to share dilution because of the rights issue announced today:
Brisbane, Australia, 25 November 2009: Alchemia Limited’s (ASX:ACL) Board of Directors today
announced that the Company will be undertaking a renounceable Rights issue. The Rights issue will provide
eligible shareholders of the Company with an opportunity to apply for new fully paid ordinary Alchemia
shares at $0.53 per share, with no brokerage costs and a discount of 26.9% to the closing price of the
Shares of $0.725 on 24 November 2009, being the last day of trading before the announcement of the
Issue.
Every 11 shares held at 3/12/09 is eligible to receive 2 additional shares at 53c.
So, with the pending approval and market launch of fondaparinux, why raise funds at this time? The Issue
will enable Alchemia to markedly accelerate several programs that the Company believes have the potential
to add considerable additional value to shareholders, by bringing forward other key milestones by up to 9
months. Whilst the commencement of the single Phase III trial for HA-Irinotecan will be the primary use of
the proceeds, the other programs to which the funds will be applied include:
• pre-clinical research evaluating the effectiveness of the HyACT platform in targeting cancer stem cells;
• preparing for the Company’s filing for approval of fondaparinux in the European market;
• assessing the viability of delivering fondaparinux sodium in an oral dosage form; and
• the support for a physician initiated Phase I/IIa trial for HA-Irinotecan as a cancer stem cell targeted
therapy in first line treatment of extensive Small Cell Lung Cancer.
With so many opportunities at the Company’s doorstep, it is the Board’s strong belief that it is in the best
interest of shareholders that the Company has adequate funding to expedite these programs. This will
ensure the Company can deliver ongoing and timely product opportunities from its pipeline which, if
successful, will ultimately drive shareholder value beyond that achievable by fondaparinux alone

The shares closed at 67.5c.
Lots of on-market buying action has occurred on ACL at 0.01 cents over the past few trading days, wonder what is driving this? Is a new cancer therapy in the pipeline?
ACL going for a nice arvo rally. Take a look!
ACL is popping again, very little news on this stock so it might be one to watch. ACL into cancer therapies. Fair Value Estimate by Morning Star is 0.013. So its under-valued! Yes give me some more please!
