This prospectus relates to the offering and resale by Alumni Capital LP (“Alumni Capital” or the “Selling Shareholder”), of up to 8,850,000 American Depositary Shares (the “Offered ADSs”) with each American Depositary Share (“ADS”), representing 100 of our ordinary shares, no par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), or 885,000,000 Ordinary Shares in the aggregate, which includes up to 1,350,000 ADSs, representing 135,000,000 Ordinary Shares, issuable upon the exercise of a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase ADSs.
The Offered ADSs being offered by the Selling Shareholder have been or may be issued and sold to the Selling Shareholder pursuant to the purchase agreement, dated April 19, 2024 (the “Purchase Agreement”), that we entered into with Alumni Capital. See “The Alumni Capital Transaction” for a description of the Purchase Agreement and “Selling Shareholder” for additional information regarding Alumni Capital. The prices at which Alumni Capital may resell the ADSs offered hereby will be determined by the prevailing market price for the shares or in negotiated transactions. We are not selling any securities under this prospectus and will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of Offered ADSs by the Selling Shareholder. However, we may receive proceeds of up to $15.75 million from the exercise of the Alumni Warrant and the sale of ADSs to the Selling Shareholder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, once the registration statement that includes this prospectus is declared effective.
The Selling Shareholder may sell or otherwise dispose of the Offered ADSs described in this prospectus in a number of different ways and at varying prices. See “Plan of Distribution” for more information about how the Selling Shareholder may sell or otherwise dispose of the Offered ADSs being registered pursuant to this prospectus. The Selling Shareholder is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The Selling Shareholder will pay all brokerage fees and commissions and similar expenses. We will pay the expenses (except brokerage fees and commissions and similar expenses) incurred in registering the ADSs, including legal and accounting fees. See “Plan of Distribution.”
The ADSs are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, under the symbol “KZIA.” On November 26, 2024, the last reported sale price of the ADSs on Nasdaq was $5.58 per ADS.
We are a “foreign private issuer”, as defined under the federal securities laws, and, as such, we will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus and future filings. See “Prospectus Summary—Implications of Being a Foreign Private Issuer.”
