Quarterly activities report
BPH Global Limited (ASX: BP8) (“BP8” or the “Company” or the “Group”), a plant-based biotechnology
company, today released its Appendix 4C and Quarterly Activities Report for the period ended
30 September 2024.
During the September Quarter, the Company continued to engage deeply with prospective investors with
a particular focus on investors who have relevant industry experience and an understanding and
appreciation of the Company’s business development plans.
On 31 July 2024 the Company announced that it had entered into loan agreements to raise $130,000 to
provide short term funding to the Company. A non-related party of the Company provided $30,000 and
three Directors of the Company each provided loans of $25,000 ($75,000 in aggregate). The $105,000
raised received to date has been and will be used to fund working capital expenses.
On 24 October 2024 the Company announced (24 October Announcement) that it had entered into an
investment term sheet with Mr Rajiv Ramnarayan (Investment Term Sheet) pursuant to which Mr
Ramnarayan will provide the Company with $100,000 in two tranches of $50,000. The first tranche of
$50,000 was due 25 October 2024 and has been paid. The second tranche of $50,000 is due on 25
November 2024. The funds received and to be received from Mr Ramnarayan will be used for working
capital purposes and for the development of the Indonesian-based seaweed project (see below).
The Company is continuing to engage deeply with prospective investors.
BP8 ended the quarter with cash of approximately $0.113 million ($0.134 million at 30 June 2024).
Payments of $9,000 were made during the quarter to related parties and their associates as remuneration.
Details of these payments are included in items 6 of the Appendix 4C.
Corporate activities
Throughout the September Quarter the Company continued to focus on business development
opportunities to grow its seaweed and bird’s nest businesses. In particular, the Company has been
sourcing and conducting due diligence on business development opportunities regarding:
• New sites for the cultivation of seaweed;
• Potential third-party seaweed growers for the supply of seaweed; and
• Potential third-party bird’s nest suppliers for the supply of raw and processed bird’s nest produce.

Seaweed
Also in the 24 October Announcement, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement
with joint venture partners for the acquisition of assets and the joint development of an Indonesian-based
seaweed business which, in collaboration with the joint venture partners, will enable the Company to both
cultivate and harvest seaweed and to acquire seaweed from third party sellers:
• for sale as raw seaweed (such as sea grapes) into ASEAN food markets;
• for the production of bio stimulant seaweed products for sale in the Indian market;
• for the extraction of nutraceuticals for infusion in food, health and cosmetic products;
• to enable the conduct of R&D on the extraction of minerals, nano-minerals and chemicals for use
in the battery and energy industries; and
• to enable the conduct of R&D on the production and extraction of biohydrogen and other biogases.
Bird’s Nest
As previously announced, the Board continues to recognise that the Company’s ability to secure the supply
of quality bird’s products at competitive prices underpins its goal of growing its bird’s nest sales numbers.
A principal focus of the Company’s business development strategy is to enter into additional supply
agreements with one or more major suppliers of bird’s nest products. The Company will provide the
market with additional updates regarding its bird’s nest business development activities.
