Matakina Technology – Expansion Capital Investment – Roger Allen

Sydney - July 1, 2010

Eagle Corporate Advisers advised Matakina TechnologyTM Limited (‘Matakina’) on the investment by Roger Allen entity.

Roger Allen is currently a director and co-founder of venture capital firm Allen & Buckeridge and is a prominent figure in the Australian IT industry. He has served on numerous government committees and in 2007 was awarded the Pearcey Medal in recognition of his 30+ years of commitment to the ICT industry.

Matakina is based in Wellington, New Zealand, and is led by CEO Dr. Ralph Highnam. Professor Sir Michael Brady of the University of Oxford, United Kingdom, is on the board of directors. Matakina promotes its ‘Volpara’ software, which automatically inputs digital image characteristics and standard information captured in mammography exams into an algorithm to measure volumetric breast tissue density. The company touted its software as an objective alternative to the four subjective BI-RADS density categories and as enabling radiologists to compare patients' historic volumetric measurements.

Eagle Corporate Advisers advised on all aspects of the investment in Matakina, including preparation and negotiation of investment documentation (which introduced a special class of preference shares), and other matters.
