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 Thursday 15 November 2018.

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, BDO, 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 BDO before the Meeting on any of the foregoing matters, please send your question to the Company Secretary, Elizabeth McGregor, at [email protected] before 8 November 2018.

If you have a more general issue or question that you would like discussed at the Meeting, please write to the Company Secretary, Elizabeth McGregor, 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 all resolutions.

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 2018.

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. The Annual Report is available online at www.lctglobal.com under “Investor Centre/Key financial reports”.

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 re-election. The Company encourages all shareholders to cast their votes on resolution 1 (Adoption of the 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.

Living Cell Technologies Limited ACN 104 028 042

Resolutions 4, 5, 6 and 7 – Approval to grant options to Non-Executive Directors or their nominees in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11

The Board is recommending that Members approve the grant of a total of 600,000 options over fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company to each of Professor Elliott, Mr Hunter, Professor Tuch and Mr Willcocks.

The proposed grant is in respect of 600,000 options to be granted to each Director within one month of the date of the Annual General Meeting and if approved will comprise a component of the Directors remuneration. Remunerating Directors in this manner reduces the cash cost to the Company and aligns the reward of Directors with the interests of shareholders. The 600,000 options are exercisable at an exercise price determined by calculating the VWAP of the 10 day period culminating on 29 November 2018.

Since Professor Elliott, Mr Hunter, Professor Tuch and Mr Willcocks are Directors 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.

The securities will be issued for nil consideration and accordingly no funds will be raised by the grant of options to the Directors. However upon exercise of the options the funds subscribed for shares will be employed for working capital.

The terms of the options are as follows:

  • The Company will grant each Director or their nominee 600,000 options within one month of the Annual General Meeting if shareholders give their approval to the grant;

  • The Director options will vest immediately;

  • The options may not be assigned or transferred;

  • The options expire 4 years from the issue date;

  • The options may be retained in the event that a Director ceases in that role;

  • 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;

  • There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to shareholders during the currency of the options without exercising the options.

Notwithstanding that the terms of the options provide for them to be granted within three months of the meeting, ASX Listing Rule 10.13 provides that such securities be granted no later than one month after the date of this meeting.

The Board recommends that shareholders vote in FAVOUR of resolutions 4-7. The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in FAVOUR of resolutions 4-7.

7

Living Cell Technologies Limited ACN 104 028 042

Resolution 8 – Approval to grant options to Dr Kenneth Taylor or his nominee in accordance with Listing Rule 10.11

The Board is recommending that Members approve the grant of up to 1,000,000 options over fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company to Dr Taylor.

The proposed grant is in respect of up to 1,000,000 options to be granted to Dr Taylor within one month of the date of the Annual General Meeting and if approved will comprise a component of Dr Taylor’s remuneration as Chief Executive. Remunerating executives in this manner reduces the cash cost to the Company and aligns the reward of executives with the interests of shareholders. The 1,000,000 options are exercisable at an exercise price determined by calculating the VWAP of the 10 day period culminating on 29 November 2018.

Since Dr Taylor 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.

The securities will be issued for nil consideration and accordingly no funds will be raised by the grant of options to Dr Taylor. However upon exercise of the options the funds subscribed for shares will be employed for working capital.

The terms of the options are as follows:

  • The Company will grant Dr Taylor or his nominee up to 1,000,000 options within one month of the Annual General Meeting if shareholders give their approval to the grant;

  • The options will vest 1 year after the issue date;

  • The options may not be assigned or transferred;

  • The options expire 3 years after the issue date;

  • In the event that Dr Taylor leaves the Company unexercised options will be forfeited, subject to the Board determining otherwise;

  • 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;

  • There are no participation rights or entitlements inherent in the options and holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of capital offered to shareholders during the currency of the options without exercising the options.

Notwithstanding that the terms of the options provide for them to be granted within three months of the meeting, ASX Listing Rule 10.13 provides that such securities be granted no later than one month after the date of this meeting.

The Board recommends that shareholders vote in FAVOUR of resolution 8. The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in FAVOUR of resolution 8.
