This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Annual General Meeting of IM Medical Limited.

This Explanatory Memorandum should be read in conjunction with and forms part of the accompanying Notice. The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide information to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions set out in the Notice.

The Directors recommend Shareholders read this Explanatory Memorandum in full before making any decision in relation to the resolutions.

A Proxy Form is attached to the Notice. This is to be used by Shareholders if they wish to appoint a representative (a "proxy") to vote in their place. All Shareholders are invited and encouraged to attend the Meeting or, if they are unable to attend in person, sign and return the Proxy Form to the Company in accordance with the instructions provided. Lodgement of a Proxy Form will not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting at the Meeting in person.

Please note that:

  • (b)

  • a proxy need not be a member of the Company; and

  • (c) a member of the Company entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, but where the proportion or number is not specified, each proxy may exercise half of the votes.

The enclosed Proxy Form provides further details on appointing proxies and lodging Proxy Forms.

1. Annual Report

Under the Corporations Act 2001, the directors of the Company must table the Annual Report for the Company for the year ended 30 June 2013 at the annual general meeting.

Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to discuss the Annual Report at the Meeting. Copies of this report can be found on the Company’s website www.immedical.com.au or by contacting the Company on (03) 9613 4108.

There is no requirement for Shareholders to approve the Annual Report.

Shareholders will be offered the following opportunities:

  • (a) discuss the Annual Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2013;

  • (b) ask questions or make comment on the management of the Company;

In addition to taking questions at the Meeting, written questions to the Chairman about the management of the Company, or to the Company's auditor about:

  • (a) the preparation and the content of the Auditor's Report;

4

  • (b) the conduct of the audit;

  • (c) accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements; and

  • (d) the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit,

2. Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act provides that the Company is required to put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report contains a Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and reports the remuneration arrangements in place for the executive and non-executive directors.

Section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act provides that Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company. Of itself, a failure of Shareholders to pass Resolution 1 will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

However, the Corporations Act has been amended by the Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Act ( Director and Executive Remuneration Act ) which received the Royal Assent on 27 June 2011 and came into effect on 1 July 2011.

The Director and Executive Remuneration Act introduced new sections 250U and 250Y, among others, into the Corporations Act, giving Shareholders the opportunity to remove the Board if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings ( Two Strikes Rule ).

Under the Two Strikes Rule, where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more 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 re-election.

At the Company’s 2012 Annual General Meeting the remuneration report was approved by over 75% of Shareholders.

In summary, if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if there is a 'no' vote of 25% or more at the next annual general meeting the consequences are that it 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.

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 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.

2. Resolution 2 – Re-election of Paul Burton as a Director

Article 13.2 of the Constitution requires that at every annual general meeting, one third of the Directors must retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years. A Director who retires by rotation under Article 13.2 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.

Pursuant to Article 13.2 of the Constitution Paul Burton retires by rotation and, being eligible,

seeks re-election.

5

Mr Paul Burton (formerly Paul Quarrell) was appointed as a Director of the Company on 22 March 2011 in accordance with Article 13.4 of the Constitution.

Mr Burton has extensive business experience, specialising in mergers, acquisitions as well as corporate strategy, advice and governance. He has held senior executive positions with NAB/MLC and Ipac (now owned by Axa) as well as a self-employed Consultant working with companies such as Tauro Capital, Challenger, Q Invest, Strategic Capital Management and Seaview Consulting. Mr Burton was the managing director of Techdrill Services Pty Ltd, an exploration drilling company which grew its revenue and profit by 700% under his leadership and was a founding partner and director of Lachlan Group Pty Ltd (now known as Westoria Capital), a boutique resource investment company.

After beginning his career as a financial adviser, Mr Burton was appointed acquisitions manager by Ipac and successfully completed the foundation transactions that were aggregated into the significant operation that it has become today. Subsequently Mr Burton acted as the principal of his own consulting business and worked on a number of successful advisory projects highlighted by his involvement in the Challenger acquisition and integration team that successfully negotiated and integrated the acquisition of Associated Planners for $100 million.

Mr Burton holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA), Bachelor of Economics (Honours), Diploma of Financial Planning (DFP) and Certified Financial Planner (CFP).

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