EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1. Introduction

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the Meeting to be held at The Swanston HotelGrand Mecure, 195 Swanston Street, Melbourne on Friday 28 November, 2014 at 11.00.am (AEDT).

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.

2. Action to be taken by Shareholders

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:

  • (a) a member of the Company entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy;

  • (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.

In accordance with section 250BD of the Corporations Act, a person appointed as a proxy must not vote on the basis of that appointment on Resolution 1 if the person is either:

  • (a) a member of the Key Management Personnel of the Company; or

  • (b) a Closely Related Party of such a member, and

the appointment does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on Resolution 1.

However, the prohibition does not apply if the proxy is the Chairman and the appointment expressly authorises the Chairman to exercise the proxy even if Resolution 1 is connected directly or indirectly with remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel of the Company.

3. 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 2014 at the annual general meeting.

4

Shareholders will be offered the opportunity to discuss the Annual Report at the Meeting. Copies of this report can b e found on the Company’s website www.immedical .com.au or by contacting the Company on (03) 9607 8280.

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 2014;

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

  • (c) ask the auditor questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the Auditor's Report.

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;

  • (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,

may be submitted no later than 5 business days before the Meeting to the Company Secretary at the Company's registered office.

4. 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 201 3 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 all Directors (other than the Managing Director) may be up for re-election.

5

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 Nigel Blaze 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 Nigel Blaze retires by rotation at the Meeting and, being eligible, seeks re-election.

Mr Nigel Blaze was appointed as a Director of the Company on 22 March 2011 in accordance with Article 13.4 of the Constitution.

Mr Blaze is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants and has practised as a Chartered Accountant for approximately 25 years. Mr Blaze commenced his professional accounting career with Ernst & Young and worked firstly in the Business Services area subsequently moving into a management role in their Specialist Taxation Advisory division. Since leaving Ernst & Young, Mr Blaze has acted as a director of the Chartered Accounting firms Griffiths and Co and McLean Manuell before establishing his own firm in January 2000.

Mr Blaze is currently the managing director of Blaze BMD Pty Ltd, Accountants and Business Advisors and has extensive commercial advisory experience including specialisation in the medical services sector, property sector, agribusiness sector and the retail and manufacturing sectors.

Mr Blaze was, until June 2003, a director of Blaxland Rural Investments Ltd a company that successfully raised capital and managed a number of agribusiness projects prior to the sale of its operations to a predecessor of Seven Fields Management Limited. He has also acted and continues to act as a director on many private company boards and has successfully managed a number of investment projects.

Mr Blaze has acted as Chairman of the Company since 22 March 2011.

Mr Blaze holds a Bachelor of Business (Accounting) degree, a Diploma of Taxation Law from Monash University, and a Certified Financial Planning qualification.

The Board (other than Mr Blaze) unanimously supports the re-election of Mr Blaze.
