4. Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report

In accordance with subsection 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive Directors, specified executives and non-executive Directors.

In accordance with subsection 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

The Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Act 2011 which came into effect on 1 July 2011, amended the Corporations Act to provide that Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board except the managing director if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more ( Strike ) at two consecutive annual general meetings.

Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for reelection.

The Company's Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the 2011 annual general meeting. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at the 2013 annual general meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.

The Chairman will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on the Remuneration Report.

Resolution 1 is an ordinary Resolution.

The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

If the Chairman is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chairman with an express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman's intention, even though Resolution 1 is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

5. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director – Mr Peter Turvey

5.1 Background

Clause 15.5 of the Constitution provides that the Directors may appoint a person to be a Director to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors. Any Director so appointed holds office until the next annual general meeting and is then eligible for re-election.

In accordance with clause 15.5, Mr Peter Turvey was appointed as a Director on 18 May 2012 and resigns as a Director at this Meeting and being eligible seeks approval to be re-elected as a Director.

8

The Board believes that Mr Turvey has performed the duties and responsibilities of a director diligently and professionally, in the best interests of all Shareholders.

Details of Mr Turvey's background and experience are set out in the Annual Report.

The Board unanimously supports the re-election of Mr Turvey.

6. Resolution 3 – Re-election of Director – Mr Michael Bennett

6.1 Background

Clause 15.2 of the Constitution requires that one third of the Directors must retire at each annual general meeting (to the nearest one-third).

A retiring Director is eligible for re-election.

Mr Michael Bennett retires by rotation and being eligible, seeks re-election, in accordance with the Constitution.

The Board believes that Mr Bennett has performed the duties and responsibilities of a director diligently and professionally, in the best interests of all Shareholders.

Details of Mr Bennett's background and experience are set out in the Annual Report.

The Board unanimously supports the re-election of Mr Bennett.

7. Resolutions 4 to 6 (inclusive) – Approval to Issue Shares to Directors

7.1 General

Resolutions 4 to 6 (inclusive) seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of up to $115,000 worth of Shares to Messrs Catlow, Rowley and Turvey (or their nominees) in lieu of directors' fees payable to Messrs Catlow, Rowley and Turvey during current financial year (together the Directors Shares ).

Subject to Shareholder approval of Resolutions 4 to 6 (inclusive), the number of Directors Shares to be issued to each of Messrs Catlow, Rowley and Turvey (or their nominees) will be calculated in accordance with the formula in the below table:

Director (or nominee) No of Shares
Mr Christopher Catlow No. of Shares =$45,000

Issue Price
Issue Price = 5 day VWAP of Shares immediately
before the date of the issue.
Mr Graeme Rowley No. of Shares =$35,000

Issue Price
Issue Price = 5 day VWAP of Shares immediately
before the date of the issue.

Mr Peter Turvey No. of Shares =$35,000

Issue Price
Issue Price = 5 day VWAP of Shares immediately
before the date of the issue.
Total No. of Shares =$115,000
Issue Price
Issue Price = 5 day VWAP of Shares immediately
before the date of the issue.

The issue price of each Director Share will be equal to the 5 day VWAP of Shares immediately before the date of the issue. No funds will be raised from the issue of the Directors Shares as they are being issued for nil cash consideration but as part of the consideration for the services to be provided by the Directors during the current financial year.

The Company has sought a waiver of Listing Rule 10.13.5 from ASX in order to permit the Company to include a formula for calculating the issue price of the Director Shares which is based on a future average market price.

In the event ASX does not grant the waiver of Listing Rule 10.13.5, the Company intends to set the issue price of the Director Shares prior to the date of the Meeting.

7.2

Section 208 of Corporations Act

Section 208 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 of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within fifteen (15) months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The Board has formed the view that Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required for the proposed issue of the Director Shares as the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act applies. The Director Shares are being issued in lieu of directors' fees payable to Messrs Catlow, Rowley and Turvey and is considered to be reasonable remuneration for the purposes of section 211 of the Corporations Act.

7.3

Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 restricts the Company from issuing securities to a related party of the Company, unless approval is obtained from Shareholders.

A “related party” for the purposes of the Corporations Act is defined widely and includes a director of a public company and former directors of a public company.

Messrs Catlow, Rowley and Turvey are Directors of the Company and as such are related parties of the Company.

10

The effect of passing Resolutions 4 to 6 (inclusive) will be to allow the Company to issue up to $115,000 worth of Shares to Messrs Catlow, Rowley and Turvey (or their nominees) without using up the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Shareholders do not approve Resolutions 4 to 6 (inclusive), the Company will not issue the Director Shares to Messrs Catlow, Rowley and Turvey (or their nominees).

The terms and conditions of the Employee Option Plan are based on the employee option plan previously adopted by the Company in October 2004.

The two main purposes of the Employee Option Plan are to give an incentive to the Eligible Employees to provide dedicated and ongoing commitment and effort to the Company aligning the interests of both employees and Shareholders and for the Company to reward Eligible Employees for their efforts. The Employee Option Plan contemplates the issue to Eligible Employees of Options to subscribe for Shares.

10.2 Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9

Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a Company (unless if it falls within one of the exceptions contained in Listing Rule 7.2) from issuing more than 15% of its securities on issue in any 12 month period, without obtaining shareholder approval.

Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9(b) provides that an issue of securities to persons participating in an employee option plan where shareholders have approved the issue of securities under the plan is an exception to Listing Rule 7.1. Shareholder approval must be given in a general meeting held not more than 3 years before the date of issue where the Notice contains or is accompanied by certain prescribed information (set out below).

The purpose of Resolution 9 is for Shareholders to approve the renewal of the Employee Option Plan for a further 3 years period to enable the Company to issue Options under the Employee Option Plan without reducing the 15% capacity.

This approval will be effective for a period of 3 years from the date Shareholders pass Resolution 9.

Resolution 9 is an ordinary resolution.

10.3 Specific Information Required by Listing Rule 7.2

In accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9(b) the following information is provided:

  • (a) The terms and conditions of the Employee Option Plan are summarised in Schedule 2.

  • (b) No Options have been issued under the Employee Option Plan. However, the Company has issued 2,150,000 Options under the employee option plan approved in October 2004.

  • (c) A voting exclusion statement has been included for the purposes of Resolution 9.

11. Resolution 10 – Approval of 10% Placement Facility

11.1 General

Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued share capital through placements over a 12 month period after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Facility ). The 10% Placement Facility is in addition to the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.

The Company is now seeking shareholder approval by way of a special resolution to have the ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility.

The exact number of Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Facility will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 11.2(c) below).

The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 10 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

11.2 Description of Listing Rule 7.1A

(a) Shareholder approval

The ability to issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility is subject to shareholder approval by way of a special resolution at an annual general meeting.

  • (b) Equity Securities

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 the Notice, has on issue one class of quoted Equity Securities, being Shares.

(c) Formula for calculating 10% Placement Facility

Listing Rule 7.1A.2 provides that eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting 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 x D) – E

  • A is the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

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

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

15

  • (C) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without shareholder approval;

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

Note that A has the same meaning in Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.

  • D is 10%

E is the number of Equity Securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

(d) Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 801,745,313 Shares and therefore has a capacity to issue:

  • (i) subject to Shareholder approval being sought under Resolutions 7 and 8, 120,261,797 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • (ii) subject to Shareholder approval being sought under Resolutions 7, 8 and 10, 80,174,531 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (refer to Section 11.2(c) above).

(e)

Minimum Issue Price

The issue price of Equity Securities issued under Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of Equity Securities in the same class calculated over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(f)

10% Placement Period

Shareholder approval of the 10% Placement Facility under Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:

16

  • (i) the date that is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained; or

  • (ii) the date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking),

or such longer period if allowed by ASX ( 10% Placement Period ).

11.3 Listing Rule 7.1A

The effect of Resolution 10 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A during the 10% Placement Period without using the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 10 is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

11.4 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

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

  • (a) The Equity Securities will be issued at an issue price of not less than 75% of the VWAP for the Company's Equity Securities over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:

  • (i) the date on which the price at which the Equity Securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) if the Equity Securities are not issued within 5 Trading Days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (b) If Resolution 10 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility, the existing Shareholders' voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. There is a risk that:

  • (i) the market price for the Company's Equity Securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the Equity Securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) 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 below table shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable "A" calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice.

17

The table also shows:

  • (i) two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and

  • (ii) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 50% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (i) The Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.

  • (ii) No Options are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of the Equity Securities;

  • (iii) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.

  • (iv) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

  • (v) The table shows only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (vi) The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares.

  • (vii) The issue price is $0.024, being the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 5 October 2012.

18

  • (c) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 10 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

  • (d) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities to raise funds for any of the following purposes:

  • (i) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new investments or assets. In such circumstances, the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or

  • (ii) cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised:

    • (A) to further gain marketing approval for ADAPT[®] TEP Products including CardioCel[®] ;

    • (B) to increase commercialisation activities involving CardioCel[®] to increase manufacturing capacity and ensuring adequate sales resources;

    • (C) to further commercialise next generation DNA vaccines with Professor Ian Frazer;

    • (D) to acquire additional inventories for the Company’s sales distribution; or

    • (E) for costs associated with due diligence and engagement of advisers in connection with any of the above purposes.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (i) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;

  • (ii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iii) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • (iv) 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 but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

19

  • (e) The Company has not previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A.

  • (f) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.

This will give the Employee Option holder the opportunity to exercise their Employee Options prior to the date for determining entitlements to participate in any such issue.

10. Adjustments for reorganisation

In the event of any reorganisation of the issued capital of the Company (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return) the number of Shares attaching to each Employee Option or the Exercise Price or both will be reorganised at the time of the reorganisation.

11. Employee Options not transferable

The Employee Options are not transferable.

How to Vote on Items of Business

All your securities will be voted in accordance with your directions.

Appointment of Proxy

Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote as they choose. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.

A proxy need not be a securityholder of the Company.

Signing Instructions

Individual: Where the holding is in one name, the securityholder must sign.

Joint Holding: Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the securityholders should sign.

Power of Attorney: If you have not already lodged the Power of Attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

Companies: Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001) does not have a Company Secretary, a Sole Director can also sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held. Delete titles as applicable.
