DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

 

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the Registration Statement on Form F-3 (Registration No. 333-271696) filed by Bionomics Limited (the “Registrant”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) on May 5, 2023 and as declared effective by the Commission on May 17, 2023 (the “Registration Statement”), registering up to a total aggregate amount of $180,000,000 ordinary shares in the form of American Depositary Shares or warrants of the Registrant from time to time in one or more offerings in such amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined at or prior to the time of the offering, as described therein.

 

On December 23, 2024 US time (the “Effective Date”), the redomiciliation of the Registrant was completed pursuant to which Neuphoria Therapeutics Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), acquired all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Registrant in exchange for newly issued shares of common stock of the Company pursuant to a Scheme of Arrangement under Australian law (the “Scheme”), and became the ultimate parent company of the Bionomics group of companies. As a result of completion of the Scheme, the Company became the successor issuer to the Registrant pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

As a result of the Scheme, the Registrant has terminated all offerings of its securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. The Registrant, by filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1, hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and removes from registration any and all securities registered but unsold under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof. This filing is made in accordance with an undertaking in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities that were registered but which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
