18 November 2011 Dear Shareholder

Rights issue

cyclo medica molecular imaging techne gas Cyclopharm Ltd ABN 74 116 931 250 Bldg 75 Business & Technology Park New Illawarra Road Lucas Heights NSW 2234 Australia POB 350 Menai Central NSW 2234 T 61 2 9541 0411 F 61 2 9543 0960 www.cyclopharm.com.au

As you are aware, the Company is currently conducting a capital raising by way of a renounceable rights issue to raise $2.1 million ( Rights Issue ).

The funds raised will go towards funding the operating costs of Cyclopet and to fund a Technegas clinical trial in the United States. While the market for products manufactured by Cyclopet is growing, in the first year of operations the market has not reached our initial expectations. The lagging market combined with competition from government owned enterprises requires additional capital to support this new venture.

The commencement of the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clinical trial is expected to commence December this year. The total FDA clinical trial costs are estimated to cost approximately US$4 million over the next 30 months. Following commencement, the balance of the FDA clinical trial costs is expected to be funded by the operations.

The Rights Issue comprises a renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer to each Eligible Shareholder on the basis of 1 Share for every 3.2 Existing Shares held on the Record Date of 14 November 2011. The Offer Price is $0.04 per Share.

Eligible Shareholders will also be able to apply for shares in addition to their entitlement under a shortfall facility. This facility will also give holders of unmarketable parcels of shares the opportunity to acquire additional shares.

The Rights Issue is fully underwritten by CVC Managers Pty Limited ( Underwriter ) on customary market terms and conditions.

On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to enclose an Offer Booklet in relation to the Rights Issue and to thank you for your continued support of the Company.

Yours faithfully

1.2 Offer

Under the Rights Issue, Eligible Shareholders of the Company can subscribe for 1 Share for every 3.2 Existing Shares that they hold at the Record Date at an issue price of $0.04 per Share. Fractional entitlements to Shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

The Entitlement of each Eligible Shareholder under the Offer is shown on the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form accompanying this Offer Booklet. If you have more than one holding of Shares, you will be sent more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and you will have a separate Entitlement for each holding.

If you wish to apply across more than one holding of Shares then you will need to submit one form for each holding in respect of which you wish to submit an application.

If you are an Eligible Shareholder and did not receive your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, please call the Company’s Share Registry on the number in the Corporate Directory.

1.3 Shortfall Facility

Eligible Shareholders may also apply for Additional Shares (which are Shares that are not taken up by Eligible Shareholders) in excess of their Entitlement.

The allocation of Additional Shares will be limited to the number of Shortfall Shares (if any) and will be at the discretion of the Directors in consultation with the Underwriter. Shareholders who apply for Additional Shares may receive fewer Additional Shares than the number applied for or none at all.

The Board reserves the right to issue any Additional Shares which are not subscribed for by Eligible Shareholders at their discretion within 2 months after the Closing Date.

1.4 Sale of unmarketable parcels

Eligible Shareholders with Existing Shares valued at less than A$500 as at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on 2 November 2011, have less than a marketable parcel and are encouraged to apply for sufficient Shares so as to take them above the number of Shares required for them to have a parcel valued at A$500 or more.
