EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

BACKGROUND

On 23 May 2019 the Company announced a placement of 33,333,333 Shares at a price of $0.15 per Share, with one free attaching option for every 2 Shares exercisable at $0.25 per option at any time prior to and including, 30 June 2021.

The Placement was offered by the Company through Aurenda Partners and Bell Potter as the joint lead managers and issued to certain institutional and sophisticated investors. Except for the person the subject of Resolution 3, none of these subscribers are related parties of the Company.

In general terms, Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities that total more than 15% of its fully paid ordinary shares in a 12 month period without the approval of its shareholders ( Placement Capacity ), subject to certain exceptions.

Further, under Listing Rule 7.1A, a company may obtain approval from its shareholders (in an annual general meeting) to issue equity securities up to an additional 10% of its fully paid ordinary shares in a 12 month period without the further approval of its shareholders ( Additional Placement Capacity ). The Company obtained such approval at its 2018 Annual General Meeting held on 28 November 2018.

Due to the size of the Placement, it has been broken into two tranches:

  • an initial tranche of 19,600,753 Placement Shares and 9,800,376 Placement Options, which will be issued to investors respectively on 29 May 2019 (Placement Shares) and on 5 June 2019 (Placement Options) ( Tranche One ), utilising the full amount of the Company's Placement Capacity and Additional Placement Capacity; and

  • a second tranche of 13,732,580 Placement Shares and 6,866,290 Placement Options, which approval is sought to issue under Resolution 2 ( Tranche Two ) and Resolution 3, 4, 5 and 6.

The Company is seeking a number of approvals at this extraordinary general meeting in relation to the Placement.

RESOLUTION 1 - RATIFICATION OF ISSUE OF TRANCHE ONE UNDER THE PLACEMENT

Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of equity securities by a company made under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1, if it is subsequently approved by the company’s shareholders.

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.4 to the issue of Tranche One so as to maintain flexibility to issue equity securities up to the Placement Capacity and take advantage of any capital raising opportunities which may arise during the next 12 months.

However, notwithstanding the approval, any future equity raisings would remain subject to the 15% limit set out in Listing Rule 7.1, and this approval would not refresh the Additional Placement Capacity of the Company otherwise utilised pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A. The Additional Placement Capacity may only be refreshed by special resolution at an annual general meeting of the Company.

Information required by Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:

  • (d) 19,600,753 Placement Shares and 9,800,376 Placement Options will be issued in respect of Tranche One respectively on 29 May 2019 (Placement Shares) and on 5 June 2019 (Placement Options);

Page 7

1305596138v8

  • (e) the issue price was $0.15 per Placement Share with no additional amount payable for the issue of the Placement Options;

  • (f) the Placement Shares and Placement Options have been issued to sophisticated and professional investors introduced by Aurenda Partners and Bell Potter;

  • (g) the Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares on and from the date of issue, while the terms and conditions of issue of the Placement Options are set out in Schedule 1;

  • (h) none of the subscribers for Tranche One are Related Parties of the Company; and

  • (i) the funds raised from Tranche One will go towards:

  • (i) completing the manufacturing of AD-214 to GMP (good manufacturing practice) standard;

  • (ii) AD-214 pre-clinical studies including non-human primate toxicology studies;

  • (iii) AD-214 phase 1 trial;

  • (iv) Expansion of i-body and related technology pipeline and partnering transactions;

  • (v) General working capital; and

  • (vi) Costs of the offer.

Directors' recommendation

Failure to ratify the issue of Tranche One would result in the Company being unable to maximise business opportunities by requiring a further issue of equity securities within the next 12 month period. Any delay associated with obtaining shareholder approval means that the Company cannot act in an opportunistic manner and potentially puts any such raising at risk through the approval period.

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

RESOLUTION 2 - APPROVAL OF THE ISSUE OF TRANCHE TWO UNDER THE PLACEMENT

The total Placement Shares and Placement Options under Tranche One and Tranche Two exceed the aggregate of the Placement Capacity and the Additional Placement Capacity.

Accordingly, the Company is seeking Shareholder approval in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1 for the purpose of approving the issue of equity securities for Tranche Two of the Placement and to allow the Company to complete the fund raising under the Placement. Shareholders should note that 1,162,668 Placement Shares and 581,334 Placement Options to be issued to directors of the Company are subject to the approval of Resolutions 3 to 6 (as described below) and do not form part of Tranche Two for the purposes of approval under this Resolution 2.

Information required by Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the Resolution 2:

  • (a) 12,569,913 Placement Shares and 6,284,956 Placement Options will be issued in respect of Tranche Two on or about 1 July 2019 and in any event within 1 month of the date of this Meeting);

  • (b) the issue price will be $0.15 per Placement Share with no additional amount payable for the issue of the Placement Options;

  • (c) the Placement Shares and Placement Options will be issued to the same sophisticated and professional investors introduced by Aurenda Partners and Bell Potter as participated in Tranche One;

Page 8

1305596138v8

  • (d) the Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares on and from the date of issue while the terms and conditions of issue of the Placement Options are set out in Schedule 1;

  • (e) none of the subscribers for Tranche Two are Related Parties of the Company; and

  • (f) the funds raised from the Tranche Two will go towards:

  • (i) completing the manufacturing of AD-214 to GMP (good manufacturing practice) standard;

  • (ii) AD-214 pre-clinical studies including non-human primate toxicology studies;

  • (iii) AD-214 phase 1 trial;

  • (iv) Expansion of i-body and related technology pipeline and partnering transactions;

  • (v) General working capital; and

  • (vi) Costs of the offer.

Directors' recommendation

Failure to approve the issue of Tranche Two would result in the Company being unable to fully fund the Phase 1 trial and additional activities as described above. As a result, the Company expects that it would need to raise additional capital within the next twelve months to undertake those activities which are critical to its future prospects. Further, the failure to complete Tranche Two of the Placement may impact the Company's reputation amongst investors introduced to the Company and the investment community more broadly.

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

BACKGROUND TO RESOLUTION 3 to 6 - PARTICIPATION IN PLACEMENT BY ROBERT PEACH, JAMES WILLIAMS, PAUL MACLEMAN AND LIDDY MCCALL

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue equity securities to a Related Party, which includes a director, without shareholder approval.

As noted above, the Company announced the Placement to the ASX on 23 May 2019. This Placement comprised of two tranches. Tranche One, as set out in Resolution 1 above will be completed on 29 May 2019 (in respect of the Placement Shares issued under Tranche One) and 5 June 2019 (in respect of the Placement Options issued under Tranche One).

Tranche Two of the Placement being 13,732,580 Placement Shares and 6,866,290 Placement Options Placement Options in total, includes a commitment the Company secured from the Company's Directors, namely, Robert Peach, James Williams, Paul MacLeman and Liddy McCall (or their nominees). Subject to the requisite Shareholder approval being obtained for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11, the Directors have committed to subscribe for Placement Shares and Placement Options as follows:

Director Placement Shares subscribed Placement Options subscribed
Robert Peach 962,666 481,333
James Williams 133,334 66,667
Paul MacLeman 33,334 16,667

Page 9

1305596138v8

Liddy McCall 33,334 16,667

.

Accordingly, in Resolutions 3 to 6 the Company is seeking Shareholder approval for this issue to each Director (or his or her respective nominee) in the respective amounts set out above.

If approval is given under Resolutions 3 to 6, approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue (as per exception 13 of Listing Rule 7.2).

Related party transactions

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act provides that for a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a Related Party (which includes Directors) of the public company, the public company or entity must obtain the approval of the public company’s members unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

Under section 210 of the Corporations Act, shareholder approval is not needed to give a financial benefit on terms that would be reasonable in the circumstances if the company and the Related Party were dealing at arm’s length. As the terms of the proposed issue to the Directors contained in Resolutions 3 - 6 will be at the same price and terms as Tranche Two, the exception in section 210 of the Corporations Act applies in the circumstances and Shareholder approval is not required for the purposes of Section 208 of the Corporations Act.

INFORMATION FOR RESOLUTION 3

Information required by Listing Rule 10.13

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13 the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:

  • (a) 962,666 Placement Shares and 481,333 Placement Options will be issued to Robert Peach (or his nominee);

  • (b) the issue price will be $0.15 per Placement Share, being the same issue price as under Tranche One and Tranche Two, with no additional amount payable for the issue of the Placement Options;

  • (c) the Placement Shares and Placement Options will be issued on the date of settlement of Tranche Two and in any event no later than 1 month after the date of this meeting;

  • (d) the Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company’s existing Shares on and from the date of issue while the terms and conditions of issue of the Placement Options are set out in Schedule 1; and

  • (e) the funds raised from the issue to Robert Peach will go towards the same items as Tranche Two.

All the Directors (except Robert Peach due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution, as it relates to the proposed grant of Placement Shares to him individually or his nominee) recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Pro rata issues

If the Company makes a pro rata issue of Shares (except a bonus issue) to existing shareholders (except an issue in lieu or in satisfaction of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) and no Share has been issued in respect of the Option before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue, the exercise price of each Option shall be adjusted in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 6.22.2.

7.7

Notice of change

The Company must within a reasonable period and otherwise in accordance with ASX Listing Rules if they apply, give to each Holder notice of any change under clause 7 to the exercise price of any Options held by the Holder or the number of Shares which the Holder is entitled to subscribe for on exercise of an Option.

VOTES ON ITEMS OF BUSINESS – PROXY APPOINTMENT

You may direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.

APPOINTMENT OF SECOND PROXY

You may appoint up to two proxies. If you appoint two proxies, you should complete two separate Proxy Voting Forms and specify the percentage or number each proxy may exercise.
