I'm optimistic but a lot of things have to fall into place to get this listing completed by the deadline of Dec 20th.

First, a US court has to approve an exemption to US Securities and Exchange Commission rules regarding the registration of shares. The scheme here is being done under a share-exchange exemption. Then comes the shareholders vote, which will surely pass. Then an S-1 registration statement for the new shares has to be filed and declared effective by the SEC. The itinerary projects that the SEC will declare that filing effective within 3 days, which, in my experience, could happen but those notices of effectiveness often take longer. That S-1 filing on the 9th will set a range for the IPO price, we should learn the exact price on the first day shares are listed on the Nasdaq, which is expected to be the 13th. Plus the Nasdaq has to approve the finalized listing as well. If this all isn't completed by the 20th, the scheme fails.

And once the pricing range is announced on the 9th, Wayne will kick off a roadshow to raise money (I'm assuming some funds are locked in with the rest still to be drummed up). Gonna be a crazy two weeks for Anteris brass.
