Propanc Biopharma (PPCB) Risk Analysis

The conversion of some or all of our currently outstanding convertible notes in shares of our common stock will dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders. As of June 30, 2020, we had 11 outstanding notes convertible into approximately 439,113,000 shares of our common stock (based on then applicable conversion prices). Each holder of the notes has agreed to a 4.99% beneficial ownership conversion limitation (subject to certain noteholders' ability to increase such limitation to 9.99% upon 60 days' notice to us), and each note may not be converted during the first six-month period from the date of issuance. Any sales in the public market of the common stock issuable upon such conversion or any anticipated conversion of our convertible notes into shares of our common stock could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock.

Substantially all of our assets are located outside of the United States. In addition, our Chief Executive Officer, James Nathanielsz, and our Chief Financial Officer, Carlo Campiciano, reside in Australia and our other director, Dr. Julian Kenyon, resides in the UK. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons. It is uncertain whether the courts of Australia or the UK would recognize or enforce judgments of the United States or state courts against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the laws of the United States or any state.

The trading price of our common stock may continue to be highly volatile. Our stock price could continue to be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of factors, including the following: - actual or anticipated results of our clinical trials;         - actions of securities analysts who initiate or maintain coverage of us, changes in financial estimates by any securities analysts who follow our company, or our failure to meet these estimates or the expectations of investors;- issuance of our equity and/or debt securities, or disclosure or announcements relating thereto;         - additional shares of our common stock being sold into the market by us or our existing stockholders and/or holders of convertible debt or the anticipation of such sales;         - stock market valuations of companies in our industry;         - price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market, including as a result of trends in the economy as a whole;         - lawsuits threatened or filed against us;         - regulatory developments in the United States and foreign countries applicable to biotech and biopharma companies; and         - other events or factors, including those resulting from war or incidents of terrorism, or responses to these events. The stock markets in general, and the small-cap biotech market, in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations in recent years that have significantly affected the quoted prices of the securities of many companies, including companies in our industry. The changes often appear to occur without regard to specific operating performance. The price of our shares of common stock could fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with our company and these fluctuations could materially reduce our share price. Broad market, clinical trial results and industry factors may negatively affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.

Currently, there is a limited public market for our common stock. Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol "PPCB." However, the OTCQB is not a liquid market in contrast to the major stock exchanges. We cannot assure you as to the liquidity or the future market prices of our common stock if a market does develop. If an active market for our common stock does not develop, the fair market value of our common stock could be materially adversely affected. We cannot predict the future prices of our common stock.

Our common stock may be deemed a "penny stock" (as that term is defined under Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act) in any market that may develop in the future. Generally, a "penny stock" is a common stock that is not listed on a securities exchange and trades for less than $5.00 a share. Prices often are not available to buyers and sellers and the market may be very limited. Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks must provide purchasers of these stocks with a standardized risk-disclosure document prepared by the SEC. The document provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks involved in investing in the penny stock market. A broker must also provide purchasers with bid and offer quotations and information regarding broker and salesperson compensation and make a written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and obtain the purchaser's written agreement to the purchase. Many brokers choose not to participate in penny stock transactions. Because of the penny stock rules, there may be less trading activity in any market that develops for our common stock in the future and stockholders are likely to have difficulty selling their shares.

Although our common stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB, to be eligible to continue to be quoted on the OTCQB, among other things, our common stock is required to meet a minimum closing bid test of $0.01 per share on at least one of the prior thirty consecutive calendar days. On July 2, 2020, the OTCQB informed us that the bid price for our common stock has closed below $0.01 for more than 30 consecutive calendar days, and therefore, our common stock no longer meets the Standards for Continued Eligibility for OTCQB. The OTCQB has granted us a cure period of 90 calendar days from such date (being September 29, 2020) during which the minimum closing bid price of our common stock must be $0.01 or greater for ten consecutive trading days in order for our common stock to continue trading on the OTCQB. Our management determined that a Reverse Stock Split would allow us to satisfy such minimum closing price requirement for the duration of the required period. On August 22, 2020 we submitted a Form 14C to Finra to affect a 1:1000 reverse split of the Company's stock. The application has progressed and there are no matters outstanding that have not been addressed by the Company and as such we believe that the application is in the final stages of approval by Finra. At the date of this report it is unlikely that the reverse split will be affected by the deadline of September 29, 2020, as such it is likely that the Company's stock will be removed from the OTCQB marketplace and will move to the Pink market. In the event that the Company's stock is removed from the OTCQB market, the Company will reapply for quotation on the OTCQB market as soon as the reverse split is affected.

Our stockholders are not entitled to cumulative voting rights. Consequently, the election of directors and all other matters requiring stockholder approval will be decided by majority vote. Our directors and officers beneficially own less than 1.0% of our outstanding common stock. In addition, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer beneficially owns all of our preferred stock, which entitles him, as a holder of Series A preferred stock, to vote on all matters submitted or required to be submitted to a vote of the stockholders, except election and removal of directors, and each share entitles him to five hundred votes per share of Series A preferred stock, and as a holder of Series B preferred stock, to voting power equivalent of the number of votes equal to the total number of shares of common stock outstanding as of the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at each meeting of our stockholders and entitled to vote on all matters submitted or required to be submitted to a vote of our stockholders. Due to such a disproportionate voting power, new investors will not be able to affect a change in our business or management, and therefore, stockholders would have limited recourse as a result of decisions made by management. Moreover, this preferred stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.

We are authorized to issue up to 1,000,000,000 shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share. We have the right to raise additional capital or incur borrowings from third parties to finance our business. The board of directors has the authority, without the consent of any of the shareholders, to cause us to issue more shares of our common stock and/or securities convertible into our common stock. We will likely issue additional shares of our common stock and/or such securities in the future and such future sales and issuances of our common stock or rights to purchase our common stock could result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders. We may sell common stock, convertible securities and other equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner as we may determine from time to time. If we sell any such securities in subsequent transactions, our stockholders may be materially diluted. New investors in such subsequent transactions could gain rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock.

We are authorized to issue up to 1,500,005 shares of our preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, having such rights, preferences and privileges as are determined by our board of directors in their discretion. We have the right to raise additional capital or incur borrowings from third parties to finance our business. The board of directors has the authority, without the consent of any of the stockholders, to cause us to issue more shares of our preferred stock. Our board of directors may issue, and has in the past issued, without a vote of our stockholders, one or more series of our preferred stock with such rights and preferences as it determines. This could permit our board of directors to issue preferred stock to investors who support us and our management and permit our management to retain control of our business. Additionally, issuance of preferred stock could block an acquisition which could result in both a drop in our stock price and a decline in interest of our common stock.
