Other Events.
 
On August 7, 2025, Anteris Technologies Global Corp. (the “Company”) lodged an announcement with the  Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) regarding the Company’s receipt from the ASX of a waiver from ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (the “ASX Waiver”) on an ongoing basis. The ASX Waiver permits the Company to issue securities without stockholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, which generally restricts ASX-listed entities from issuing securities in excess of 15% of their issued share capital without stockholder approval over a 12-month period unless an exception applies. The Company will remain subject to the restrictions under the listing rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Nasdaq Listing Rules”) with respect to the issuance of new securities.
 
The ASX Waiver is subject to the following terms and conditions:
 

the Company remains subject to, and complies with, the Nasdaq Listing Rules and relevant United States federal and state securities laws for Delaware corporations with respect to the issuance of new securities;


the grant of the ASX Waiver to the Company must be approved by a special resolution of the Company’s stockholders, which requires the affirmative vote of 75% of the votes cast;


the ASX Waiver will remain in force for a period of three years commencing on the date of the stockholder approval of the ASX Waiver;


the Company must include a statement in or with its full year financial statements that are provided to the ASX that summarizes the ASX Waiver and confirms that the Company remains subject to, and continues to comply with, the requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules and relevant United States federal and state securities laws for Delaware corporations with respect to the issuance of new securities. Prior to publishing this statement, the Company must confirm with ASX that there has been no change to ASX’s policy settings in relation to security holder approval requirements; and


the Company must immediately advise the ASX if the Company becomes aware of any change to the application of the Nasdaq Listing Rules or relevant United States federal and state securities laws for Delaware corporations with respect to the issuances of new securities, or that the Company is no longer in compliance with the requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules or the relevant United States federal and state securities laws for Delaware corporations with respect to the issuances of new securities.

Without limiting ASX’s right to vary or revoke its decision pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 18.3, ASX reserves the right to revoke the ASX Waiver if:


the Company fails to comply with any of the conditions set forth above;


there are changes to the Nasdaq Listing Rules concerning the issuance of new securities; or


there are changes to ASX’s policy settings in relation to security holder approval requirements arising from the current review of those settings or any subsequent review.

Exhibit 99.1




Waiver from ASX Listing Rule 7.1

MINNEAPOLIS, United States and BRISBANE, Australia 7 August 2025: Anteris Technologies Global Corp. (Anteris or the Company) (NASDAQ: AVR, ASX: AVR) announces that ASX has granted the Company a waiver from ASX Listing Rule 7.1 on an ongoing basis to permit the Company to issue new securities without obtaining security holder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (ASX Waiver).

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 restricts listed entities from issuing securities in excess of 15% of their issued share capital without security holder approval over a 12-month period unless an exception applies.

The Company sought the ASX Waiver to provide the Company with additional flexibility when evaluating financing options and capital raising transactions, consistent with United States public companies that are not subject to the ASX Listing Rules and are generally able to offer and sell their securities without restrictions comparable to the 15% limitation applicable under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Board considers the granting of the ASX Waiver is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

The ASX Waiver is subject to the following terms and conditions:


the Company remains subject to, and complies with, the listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (NASDAQ) and relevant United States federal and state securities laws for Delaware corporations with respect to the issuance of new securities;


the grant of the ASX Waiver to the Company must be approved by a special resolution of the Company’s stockholders;


the ASX Waiver will remain in force for a period of three years from the date of stockholder approval of the ASX Waiver;


the Company must include a statement in or with its full year financial statements that are provided to the ASX that summarizes the ASX Waiver and confirms that the Company remains subject to, and continues to comply with, the requirements of the NASDAQ listing rules and relevant United States federal and state securities laws for Delaware corporations with respect to the issuance of new securities. Prior to publishing this statement, the Company must confirm with ASX that there has been no change to ASX’s policy settings in relation to security holder approval requirements; and


the Company must immediately advise the ASX if the Company becomes aware of any change to the application of the NASDAQ listing rules or relevant United States federal and state securities laws for Delaware corporations with respect to the issuances of new securities, or that the Company is no longer in compliance with the requirements of the NASDAQ listing rules or the relevant United States federal and state securities laws for Delaware corporations with respect to the issuances of new securities.

Without limiting ASX’s right to vary or revoke its decision pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 18.3, ASX reserves the right to revoke the ASX Waiver if:


the Company fails to comply with any of the conditions set out above;

there are changes to the NASDAQ listing rules in respect of the issue of new securities; or
