If 25% or more of the votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the remuneration report at two consecutive annual general meetings Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution (a “spill resolution”) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of Adherium’s Directors other than the managing director must be offered up for election.

As set out in the Notice of Meeting, Key Management Personnel (including Directors) and their closely related parties must not cast a vote on the remuneration report, unless as holders of directed proxies for Shareholders eligible to vote on Resolution 1.

4. Resolution 4 – Approval of additional 10% Placement Facility

Board recommendation and undirected proxies. The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in FAVOUR of resolution 4. The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in FAVOUR of resolution 4.

The purpose of this resolution is to authorise the Company to issue a further 10% of its issued share capital through one or more placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period (as defined below) ( 10% Placement Facility ) in addition to and without using the Company's 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. This would effectively provide the Company with a total placement capacity of 25% (less that part of its placement capacity not available under ASX Listing Rule 7.1).

3

An "eligible entity" for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that (as at the date of the annual general meeting):

  • is not included in the S&P / ASX 300 Index; and

  • has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less.

As at the date of the Notice of Meeting, the Company is an "eligible entity" for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

Any equity securities issued under the 10% Placement Facility must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of equity securities of the Company. The Company, as at the date of this Notice of Meeting has on issue one class of equity securities, namely fully paid ordinary shares (ASX Code: ADR).

The Company is seeking shareholder approval by this special resolution to have the ability to issue equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility. The exact number of equity securities that could be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 and described below.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities that have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A may issue, or agree to issue, during the 12 month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of equity securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A × D) − E

  • A = The number of fully paid shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue:

  • plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

  • plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4; and

  • less the number of fully paid shares cancelled in the 12 months.

  • D = 10%.

  • E = The number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue, that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4.

Specific disclosures required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the below information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility:

a. Issue Price

In accordance with the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3, the equity securities (if any) will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the volume weighted average price of the Company's equity securities in that class over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • i. the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • ii. if the securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date mentioned in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the securities are issued.

4

b. Risk of Economic and Voting Dilution

If Resolution 4 is approved by shareholders and the Company issues shares under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted.

Shareholders should be aware that there is a risk that:

  • the market price for the Company's equity securities in that class may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the equity securities than on the date of the approval under Listing Rule 7.1A; and

  • the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company's equity securities on the issue date or the equity securities are issued as part of consideration for the acquisition of a new asset, which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the equity securities.

The table below is included for illustrative purposes only and shows the dilution of existing shareholders on the basis of the current market price of shares as at 16 October 2017 and the current number of ordinary securities for variable “A” calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice of Meeting. The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of shares on issue (variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  • The number of shares on issue (variable "A" in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of shares that do not require shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or that are issued with shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Table 1 has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • the current shares on issue are the shares on issue as at the date of this Explanatory Memorandum;

  • • the current issue price set out above is the closing price of the shares on the ASX on 16 October 2017;

  • the Company issues the maximum number of shares available under the 10% Placement Facility; and

  • no options are exercised into shares before the date of the issue of the shares under the 10% Placement Facility.

c. Issue date

The Company will only issue equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility during the 10% Placement Period (as defined below).

5

Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of shareholder approval until the earlier of:

  • the date that is 12 months after the date of approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, that is any time up to 29 November 2018; or

  • the date the Company obtains shareholder approval for a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (significant change to nature or scale of activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

(" 10% Placement Period ").

d. Purpose of Issue

The Company may seek to issue the equity securities under the 10% Placement Facility for:

  • cash consideration. The Company may use the funds raised (without limitation):

  • to advance initiatives in the commercialisation of the Company’s technology in accordance with its business plan; or

  • for general working capital purposes.

  • non-cash consideration. This may include (without limitation) an acquisition of new assets and other investments. If such circumstances arise, the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

There are no current proposals to utilise the 10% Placement Facility. Should any specific proposals be approved by the Board, the Company will announce same to ASX as required by its continuous disclosure obligations.

e. Allocation Policy

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A upon issue of any equity securities using the 10% Placement Facility. The Company's allocation policy will be dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue. The identity of the allottees of equity securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to a range of factors, including but not limited to, the following:

  • the methods for raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, a rights issue and other fundraising structures in which existing security holders can participate;

  • the effect of the issue of the shares on the control of the Company;

  • the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice of Meeting but may include existing substantial shareholders and/or new shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

f. Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company has not previously obtained shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and therefore is not required to disclose any details under Listing Rule 7.3A.6.
