Overview of Capital Raising
Doctor Care Anywhere Group PLC (ASX:DOC, “DOC”, “Doctor Care Anywhere” or “the Company”) is pleased to
announce a capital raising comprising a non-underwritten placement of A$11.2 million (“Placement”) and a nonunderwritten security purchase plan of A$1 million1 (“SPP”) (the Placement and SPP together, the “Capital
Raising”).
The offer price for the Capital Raising is A$0.31 per new CDI in DOC (“Offer Price”), which represents a:
• 12.7% discount to DOC’s last trading price of $0.355 per CDI on Friday 25 February 2022 (being the last
trading day prior to announcement of the Capital Raising)
• 17.0% discount to DOC’s 5-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of $0.373 per CDI up to and
including Friday 25 February 2022 (being the 5 trading day period ending on the last trading day prior
to announcement of the Capital Raising)
Up to approximately 39.4 million new CDIs will be issued under the Capital Raising and all new CDIs issued will
rank equally with existing DOC CDIs on issue.
Doctor Care Anywhere intends to use the proceeds from the Capital Raising to support organic growth-related
initiatives, working capital and the costs of the offer.
Aurenda Partners Pty Ltd and Bell Potter Securities Limited are acting as joint lead managers to the Capital
Raising.
Successful Placement
Doctor Care Anywhere has closed a Placement to institutional, professional and sophisticated investors, raising
gross proceeds of A$11.2 million (before costs), with approximately 36.1 million new CDIs to be issued at the
Offer Price, representing 10% of DOC’s existing issued capital. The Placement has been made within DOC’s
existing ASX Listing Rule 7.1 capacity.
New CDIs issued under the Placement are expected to settle on Friday 4 March 2022 and commence trading on
Monday 7 March 2022.

Other Growth Opportunities
As Doctor Care Anywhere has previously announced, its long-term growth strategy includes inorganic growth
opportunities in the form of business acquisitions that deliver better outcomes for patients and payors alike.
The Company continues to actively explore such acquisition opportunities in adjacencies which offer additional
scale, complementary clinical pathways for the Company’s patients, and/or which enhance the company’s
capabilities.
The Company is in various stages of negotiations with counterparties in relation to such acquisition
opportunities, particularly in the United Kingdom, which are aligned to the Company’s existing strategy to link
primary and secondary care providers using technology.
Such acquisitions may take the form of a share purchase or asset purchase, and will only be made if they are
value accretive to the Company. As there are inherent risks with any business acquisition, there is no guarantee
that any such acquisition will occur.
