Dear Shareholder

Living Cell Technologies Limited - Share Purchase Plan

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to offer eligible LCT shareholders an opportunity to further participate in the success of the Company through the Share Purchase Plan (SPP) which was announced on 17 February 2016.

Under the SPP, holders of fully paid ordinary LCT shares on the share register at the record date of 16 February, with an address in Australia or New Zealand are invited to purchase up to $15,000 worth of new shares (subject to a minimum application of $1,000) regardless of the number of LCT shares they currently hold. Custodians will be able to apply on behalf of nominees pursuant to ASIC Class Order (CO 09/425). Participation in the SPP is entirely voluntary.

This SPP offer opens on Wednesday 24 February and will remain open until Friday 11 March.

The issue price for shares offered under the SPP will be a 10% discount to the volume weighted average price of LCT ordinary shares during the five trading days before the SPP announcement date of 17 February.

LCT continuing towards market

It is with pleasure that I invite you to participate in the next phase of growth for our company. We believe that the results of the Phase I/IIa clinical trial of NTCELL[®] for Parkinson’s disease are very promising and we are excited by the prospect of successfully completing the Phase IIb trial and obtaining provisional consent to treat and charge patients in New Zealand in 2017.

LCT is focused on improving the wellbeing of people with serious neurodegenerative diseases worldwide by discovering, developing and commercialising regenerative treatments which use naturally occurring cells to restore function.

We have now successfully completed the Phase I/IIa clinical trial of the regenerative cell therapy NTCELL for Parkinson’s disease where it proved to be safe and reversed the progression of Parkinson’s disease by three years and plan to initiate a Phase IIb trial later this month.

NTCELL has the potential to be used in a number of other central nervous system indications such as Huntington’s, Alzheimer’s and motor neurone diseases.

LCT is well positioned to bring cell therapies for neurodegenerative diseases to the market ahead of our competition and we believe this offers considerable potential value for our shareholders.

916CR_0_Sample_CA/000001/000001

The capital raised through this SPP will be used to conduct further clinical trials with NTCELL for Parkinson’s disease as well as further research and development on NTCELL in other neurodegenerative diseases and operating expenses. for working capital to complete the Phase IIb clinical trial of lead product NTCELL in Parkinson’s disease and apply for provisional consent to charge and treat patients in New Zealand.

  • 6.4 The allotment of shares for all valid applications from Eligible Shareholders will be made within 15 business days after the Closing Date.
