EXPLANATORY NOTES

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the shareholders of Living Cell Technologies Limited to provide information about the items of business to be considered at the Annual General Meeting of shareholders to be held on Tuesday, 19 November 2013.

With the exception of Resolution 1, all other resolutions to be voted on are ordinary resolutions. An ordinary resolution requires a simple majority of votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution in order for it to be carried.

If appropriate, and if time permits, the Chairman will discuss significant issues raised by shareholders prior to the meeting and will invite questions and comments from shareholders on these key issues and any other matters that shareholders would like to raise at the meeting.

In addition, a reasonable opportunity will be given to members present at the meeting to ask the Company’s auditor, PKF, questions relevant to the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements and the independence of the auditor. If you would like to submit a written question to PKF before the Meeting on any of the foregoing matters, please send your question to the Company Secretary, Nick Geddes, at [email protected] before 12 November 2013.

If you have a more general issue or question that you would like discussed at the Meeting, please write to the Company Secretary, Nick Geddes, at the above address.

How will the Chairman vote as proxy if the Shareholder has not directed the Chairman to vote?

The Chairman intends to vote in favour of all Resolutions. If a Shareholder appoints the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting as proxy and does not direct the Chairman how to vote on a Resolution then, if that Shareholder is entitled to vote on that Resolution, the Chairman will vote in favour of that Resolution.

Resolution 1 - Adoption of the Remuneration Report

Consistent with section 250R of the Corporations Act, the Company submits to shareholders for consideration and adoption, by way of a non-binding resolution, its Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2013.

The Remuneration Report is a distinct section of the annual Directors’ Report which deals with the remuneration of Directors and executives (which includes senior management) of the Company. The Remuneration Report can be located in the Company’s Annual Report on pages 18 to 21. The Annual Report is available online at www.lctglobal.com under “Investors”.

The resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Company or its directors. However the Board will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by shareholders at the meeting on the remuneration report when reviewing the Company’s remuneration policies. If 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the remuneration report at two consecutive AGMs, shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGMs on a resolution (a “spill resolution”) that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company’s directors (other than the Managing Director / CEO) must stand for reelection. The Company encourages all shareholders to cast their votes on Resolution 1 (Adoption of Remuneration Report).

The Chairman intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. If the Chairman of the meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not directed the Chairman how to vote on Resolution 1 by signing and returning the Proxy Form, the Shareholder is considered to have provided an express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman’s intention.

Resolution 2 – Re-election of Mr Laurie Hunter as a Director

Pursuant to the Clause 6.1 of the Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules, Mr Laurie Hunter will retire by rotation and seeks re-election.

Mr Hunter has over 40 years’ experience as a stockbroker, investment banker and corporate investor in London, Paris and San Francisco. Mr Hunter was a Member of The Stock Exchange, London, a partner at L. Messel & Co., London, a director of Shearson Lehman Hutton and founder of Hunter Capital. His recent

Living Cell Technologies Limited ACN 104 028 042

focus has been on investing and providing strategic advice to developing companies. Mr Hunter currently serves on a number of unlisted company boards.

The Board supports the re-election of Mr Hunter.

Resolution 3 – Re-election of Mr Robert Willcocks as a Director

Pursuant to the Clause 6.1 of the Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules, Mr Robert Willcocks will retire by rotation and seeks re-election.

Mr Willcocks is a senior executive with an extensive legal and business background working in particular with Australian-listed public companies. He has Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws degrees from the Australian National University and a Master of Laws degree from The University of Sydney. Mr Willcocks was a partner with the law firm Stephen Jaques & Stephen (now King & Wood Mallesons) from 1980 until 1994, where he was a member of the Corporate Advisory Group with an emphasis on the mining and oil and gas sectors. As corporate adviser, he has undertaken assignments in a range of industry sectors. Mr Willcocks has been a director and chairman of a number of Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) listed public companies. He is a director of ASX-listed ARC Exploration Limited, and Hong Kong Stock Exchange-listed APAC Resources Ltd. He is also chairman and director of Trilogy Funds Management Ltd, a Responsible Entity under Australian law.

The Board supports the re-election of Mr Willcocks.

Resolution 4 - Approval to exempt from Listing Rule 7.1 Options issued under the Employee Share Option Plan in accordance with Exception 9 of Listing Rule 7.2

Australian Securities Exchange (‘ASX’) Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a listed company from issuing or agreeing to issue new securities representing more than 15% of its total ordinary shares during the 12 month period without shareholder approval.

Exception 9, Listing Rule 7.2, provides the securities issued under an employee incentive scheme (e.g. the Employee Share Option Plan) are excluded from this restriction provided that, within three years before the date of issue, the scheme, and specifically issues of securities under it, has been approved by shareholders in general meeting.

The Company seeks to have options issued under the current Employee Share Option plan excluded from the 15% limit.

This exception allows the Board flexibility to issue further securities up to the full 15% limit and without regard to securities issued under a properly exempted plan, but remains subject to other exceptions to the limit, such as bonus or rights issues.

Provided that the Company’s shareholders approve the potential issue of securities under the Employee Share Option Plan for three years after the 2013 Annual General Meeting, those securities will be outside the 15% restriction contained in Rule 7.1.

Shareholder approval to Resolution 4 will simply give the Board the flexibility afforded by the exception to the 15% rule available under the ASX Listing Rules. The Board can then use this flexibility and use up to 15% of the issued capital excluding securities issued under the Employee Share Option Plan for future capital raising or to fund acquisitions.

Since last approval a total of 5,500,000 options over ordinary shares have been issued under the Employee Share Option Plan, of which no options have been exercised. 479,901 options have lapsed at the date of the notice of AGM.

The total of ordinary shares on issue at the date of the notice of AGM is 356,995,773. The total number of options outstanding, 5,020,099 represents 1.41% of the capital on issue.

The Directors recognise the need to maintain flexibility and recommend that the shareholders approve the exception of securities issued under the ESOP from the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of the terms of the ESOP is as follows:

1. Each Option entitles the registered holder to subscribe for and be allotted one fully paid ordinary share in the capital of Living Cell Technologies Limited;

5

Living Cell Technologies Limited ACN 104 028 042

2. The Options expire at the end of the stated Exercise Period in relation to that Option;

3. The Options may not be assigned, transferred or otherwise dealt without the prior consent of the Board of Living Cell Technologies Limited;

4. The exercise price for each Option shall be the fixed amount stated in relation to that Option or, where a formula is specified, the amount calculated in accordance with that formula;

5. Living Cell Technologies Limited will make an application to the ASX for official quotation of the shares allotted and issued upon the exercise of an Option (“Option Shares”), as soon as is reasonably practicable after allotment and issue of those shares;

6. The Option Share will rank equally with, and have the same rights and entitlements as the other Living Cell Technologies Limited shares on issue as at the date the Option Shares are allotted, other than any right or entitlement which has accrued prior to the date of the allotment of the Option Shares.

7. An Eligible Person cannot, in respect of any Option held under this Plan, participate in new issues by the Company without first exercising that Option.

8. If the Company proposes to make a pro rata issue of shares, the Company must give written notice to each Eligible Person who holds Options of the proposed issue at least 14 days before the record date for that issue.

9. If a bonus issue of shares is made to the holders of Shares (other than pursuant to any dividend reinvestment plan or bonus share plan applying from time to time), the number of Shares over which an Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the Eligible Person would have received under the bonus issue if the Eligible Person had exercised the Option before the record date for that bonus issue.

10. If a pro rata issue of shares (other than a bonus issue) is made to the holders of Shares, the Exercise Price of an Option must be reduced in accordance with the ASX Listing Rule 6.22.2.

11. If the Company’s share capital is consolidated, Options held by an Eligible Person must be consolidated in the same ratio as the Shares are consolidated. The Exercise Price of each Option so consolidated must be amended inversely to the ratio in which the Shares are consolidated. In all other respects, the terms of each Option so consolidated will remain the same as each original Option.

12. If the Company’s share capital is reorganised in any other way, the number of Options held by an Eligible Person or the Exercise Price of an Option, or both, must be amended in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules so that the Eligible Person does not receive a benefit which the holder of Shares does not receive.

13. The rights of an Eligible Person who holds Options under this Plan may be changed to comply with the listing rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorgansiation.

Resolution 5 – Approval to Grant Options to Dr Andrea Grant or her nominee in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11

The Board is recommending that Members approve the grant of a total of 200,000 options over fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company to Andrea Grant.

The proposed grant is in respect of 200,000 options to be granted within one month of the date of the Annual General Meeting and if approved will comprise a component of Dr Grant’s remuneration. Remunerating Directors in this manner reduces the cash cost to the Company and aligns the reward to senior management with those to shareholders. Of the total of 200,000 options, 100,000 options are exercisable at an exercise price of $0.10 per share and 100,000 options are exercisable at an exercise price of $0.15 per share.

As Dr Grant is a Director of the Company, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires shareholder approval for the proposed grant of options. If shareholder approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11, shareholder approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.

No funds will be raised by the grant of options to Dr Grant. However upon exercise of the options the funds will be employed for working capital.

6

Living Cell Technologies Limited ACN 104 028 042

The terms of the options are as follows:

  • The Company will grant Dr Grant or her nominee 200,000 options within one month of the Annual General Meeting if shareholders give their approval to the grant;

  • The Director options will vest on 6 March 2014 (12 months from the date the Board resolved to issue the options “Issue Date”);

  • The Options may not be assigned or transferred;

  • The Options expire 5 years from the issue date;

  • If Dr Grant retires or resigns other than for health reasons before the options vest they are forfeited.

  • The Options are subject to the ASX Listing Rules relating to capital reorganisation. The rights of an option holder may be changed to comply with the listing rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.

  • In respect to the Options to be issued, Dr Grant cannot participate in new issues by the Company without first exercising that Option.

Notwithstanding that the terms of the options provide for them to be granted within three months of the meeting, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that such securities be granted no later than one month after the date of this meeting.

The Directors recognise the need to provide an incentive to directors and recommend that the Members approve the grant of these options to Dr Grant.

Resolution 6 – Approval to Grant Options to Professor Robert Elliott or his nominee in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11

The Board is recommending that Members approve the grant of a total of 200,000 options over fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company to Professor Robert Elliott.

The proposed grant is in respect of 200,000 options to be granted within one month of the date of the Annual General Meeting and if approved will comprise a component of Professor Elliott’s remuneration. Remunerating Directors in this manner reduces the cash cost to the Company and aligns the reward to senior management with those to shareholders. Of the total of 200,000 options, 100,000 options are exercisable at an exercise price of $0.10 per share and 100,000 options are exercisable at an exercise price of $0.15 per share.

As Professor Elliott is a Director of the Company, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires shareholder approval for the proposed grant of options. If shareholder approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11, shareholder approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.1.

No funds will be raised by the issue of the options to Professor Elliott. However upon exercise of the options the funds will be employed for working capital.

The terms of the options are as follows:

  • The Company will grant Professor Elliott or his nominee 200,000 options within one month of the Annual General Meeting if shareholders give their approval to the grant;

  • The Options will vest on 6 March 2014 (12 months from the date the Board resolved to issue the options “Issue Date”);

  • The Options may not be assigned or transferred;

  • The Options expire 5 years from the grant date;

  • If Professor Elliott retires or resigns other than for health reasons before the options vest they are forfeited.

7

Living Cell Technologies Limited ACN 104 028 042

  • The Options are subject to the ASX Listing Rules relating to capital reorganisation. The rights of an option holder may be changed to comply with the listing rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.

  • In respect to the Options to be issued, Professor Elliott cannot participate in new issues by the Company without first exercising that Option.

Notwithstanding that the terms of the options provide for them to be granted within three months of the meeting, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that such securities be granted no later than one month after the date of this meeting.

The Directors recognise the need to provide an incentive to independent directors and recommend that the Members approve the grant of these options to Professor Elliott.
