Botanix included in ASX 300 Index

Botanix Pharmaceuticals is very pleased to announce that the Company will be included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index as part of the March 2025 quarterly rebalance.

The S&P/ASX 300, or simply, ASX 300, is a stock market index of Australian stocks listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). The ASX 300 index covers the large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap components of the S&P/ASX Index Series.

To be considered for inclusion, a company must meet a minimum market capitalization, typically around A$100 million, based on average daily market cap over the last six months, and have sufficient liquidity; meaning the stock must be actively traded in adequate volume to be considered institutionally investable. The index is regularly reviewed, and companies are added or removed to rebalance twice annually to reflect changes in market capitalization and liquidity.

Botanix Featured in AFR

The Australian Financial Review has featured Botanix as an ASX favourite.

In an article profiling stock picks by Liam Donohue from Lennox Capital, he assessed the market opportunity for Sofdra™:

‘…current treatments have been more invasive (such as targeted Botox injections) and typically less effective.

‘So, with many of the more binary risks out of the way for Botanix, we think the opportunity in front of the company is immense. That is especially the case when you couple this with management’s history of commercialising pharma products in the US.’
