However, in accordance with section 250R(5) of the Corporations Act, a person described above may cast a vote on Resolution 1 as a proxy if the vote is not cast on behalf of a person described in section 250R(4) and either:
-
(a) the person does so as a proxy appointed by writing that specifies how the proxy is to vote on Resolution 1; or
-
(b) the person is the Chairman and the appointment of the Chairman as proxy does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on Resolution 1 and expressly authorises the Chairman to exercise the proxy even if Resolution 1 is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of the Key Management Personnel.

entitled to vote in accordance with their directions. This restriction on voting undirected proxies does not apply to the Chairman where the proxy appointment expressly authorises the Chairman of the Meeting to exercise undirected proxies even if the resolution is connected, directly or indirectly, with the remuneration of the Key Management Personnel.
Voting Exclusions in accordance with ASX Listing Rules
Resolutions 4 to 8: In accordance with Listing Rules 14.11, the Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of the resolution by or on behalf of the following persons:

Resolution 10: In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 14.11, the Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of Resolution 10 by or on behalf of any person who participated in the issue or any associates of those persons.
However, the above voting exclusion statements under the ASX Listing Rules will not apply and, subject to the voting exclusions under the Corporations Act as detailed above, the Company need not disregard a vote cast in favour of Resolutions 4 to 10 if it is cast by a person as:

4.2 ASX Listing Rule 10.14
ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit a director (or certain other classes of persons) to acquire Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme unless it obtains the approval if its Shareholders.
Dr German Arango is a director of the Company. Accordingly, shareholder approval is required for the grant of the CEO Options under Listing Rule 10.14. If Shareholder approval is given under Listing Rule 10.14 pursuant to this Resolution, Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 is not required.
Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, exception 14, the effect of passing Resolution 4 will be to allow the Company to issue the CEO Options (and issue Shares on exercise of these Options) to Dr Arango without using the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. Further to this, the issue of these Options (and issue of shares on exercise of these Options) under the Plan also falls within exception 9 in Listing Rule 7.2.
Accordingly, if Shareholder approval is given for the grant of the CEO Options for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14:
-
(i) shareholder approval will not be required for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1;
-
(ii) the Company will grant the CEO Options without using any of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Shareholder approval is not given for the grant of the CEO Options, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed grant to Dr German Arango and the Board may consider other options available to compensate Dr German Arango in addition to his current remuneration.
4.3 Additional information required under ASX Listing Rule 10.15
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.15, the following additional information is provided for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval for Resolution 4:
12
-
(i) The CEO Options will be granted to Dr German Arango, who is a director of the Company and therefore a related party of the Company.

(vii) The Company values each CEO Option at $1.634 (Tranche 1) and $1.693 (Tranche 2) using a Monte Carlo pricing model. The Company has obtained an independent valuation for the proposed CEO Options.
-
(viii) Details of any securities issued under the Plan will be published in the annual report of the Company relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

4.4 Section 208 of Corporations Act
In accordance with section 208 of the Corporations Act, to give a financial benefit to a related party (which includes a Director), the Company must obtain Shareholder approval unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception 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 grant of CEO Options as the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act applies. The CEO Options are being issued for the reasons set out above and are considered reasonable remuneration for the purposes of section 211 of the Corporations Act.
4.5 Board recommendation
- The Board (excluding Dr Arango) recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4. The Chairman will not vote undirected proxies in respect of Resolution 4.
5. RESOLUTIONS 5, 6, 7 AND 8 - GRANT OF OPTIONS TO NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS
The Company proposes to grant 19,719 Options to Mr Damian Banks, 39,437 Options to Mr Douglas Flynn, 19,719 Options to Dr Doug Lingard and 19,719 Options to Mr Carlos Palacio (collectively, the NED Options ). Resolution 5 to 8 seek the required shareholder approval to issue securities under the Plan to these Directors for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14.
13
5.1 Material terms of the NED Options
The NED Options are proposed to be issued under the Plan and all on the same terms. The material terms and conditions of the NED Options are set out below:
-
(i) Each NED Option will be granted for nil consideration, and no consideration will be payable by the Director to exercise a NED Option (that is, the exercise price for a NED Option is nil);
-
(ii) The NED Options will vest immediately upon their issue (that is, they will not be subject to any vesting conditions or performance hurdles);
-
(iii) each NED Option will entitle the Director to acquire one Share upon exercise; (iv) the NED Options may be exercised at any time before their expiry date, and will not be subject to any forfeiture conditions;
-
(v) each NED Option will lapse 4 years from the date of grant; and
-
(vi) the NED Options will otherwise be granted on the terms and conditions set out in the rules of the Plan.
5.2 ASX Listing Rule 10.14
ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit a director (or certain other classes of persons) to acquire Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme unless it obtains the approval if its Shareholders.
Each of Mr Damian Banks, Mr Douglas Flynn, Dr Doug Lingard and Mr Carlos Palacio are directors of the Company. Accordingly, shareholder approval is required for the grant of the NED Options under Listing Rule 10.14. If Shareholder approval is given under Listing Rule 10.14 pursuant to Resolution 5 to 8, Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.11 is not required.
Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, exception 14, the effect of passing Resolutions 5 to 8 will be to allow the Company to issue the NED Options (and issue Shares on exercise of these Options) to Mr Damian Banks, Mr Douglas Flynn, Dr Doug Lingard and Mr Carlos Palacio without using the Company's 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. Further to this, the issue of these Options (and issue of shares on exercise of these Options) under the Plan also falls within exception 9 in Listing Rule 7.2.
Accordingly, if Shareholder approval is given for the grant of the NED Options for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14:
-
(vii) shareholder approval will not be required for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1;
-
(viii) the Company will grant the NED Options without using any of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
If Shareholder approval is not given for a proposed grant of NED Options, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed grant of NED Options to the relevant nonexecutive Director and the Board may consider other options available to compensate that non-executive Director in addition to his current remuneration.
Resolutions 5 to 8 are not conditional upon each other. Accordingly, if one or more but not all of these resolutions are passed, the Company may still proceed to issue the relevant NED Options to the directors which have been approved by Shareholders.
14
5.3 Additional information required under ASX Listing Rule 10.15
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.15, the following additional information is provided for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval for Resolutions 5 to 8:

-
(vi) The Company proposes to issue NED Options as part of the overall remuneration package of the non-executive Directors.
-
(vii) The Company values each NED Option at $2.240 using a Black Scholes option pricing model. The Company has obtained an independent valuation for the proposed NED Options.
-
(viii) Details of any securities issued under the Plan will be published in the annual report of the Company relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. Any additional persons covered by ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the Plan after Resolution 5 is approved and who were not named in this Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule.
5.4 Section 208 of Corporations Act
In accordance with section 208 of the Corporations Act, to give a financial benefit to a related party (which includes a Director), the Company must obtain Shareholder approval unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception 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 grant of NED Options as the exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act applies. The NED Options are being issued for the reasons
15
set out above and are considered reasonable remuneration for the purposes of section 211 of the Corporations Act.
5.5 Chairman
It is noted that Damian Banks will act as Chairman for the purposes of Resolution 6.

6. RESOLUTION 9 – APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL 10% SHARE PLACEMENT CAPACITY
6.1 Requirements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, however, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%.
An ‘eligible entity’ for the purpose of ASX 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. At the date of this Notice, the Company is an eligible entity for these purposes.
Resolution 9 seeks shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A to issue Equity Securities without shareholder approval ( 10% Share Placement Capacity ).
If Resolution 9 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further shareholder approval.
If Resolution 9 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without shareholder approval provided for in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without shareholder approval set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Any issue of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A:
16
-
(i) must be in the same class as an existing quoted class of the Company’s Equity Securities;
-
(ii) must be issued for a cash consideration per Equity Security which is not less than a 25% discount to the volume weighted average price of securities in the same class calculated over 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded prior the date on which the price is agreed or, if not issued within 10 trading days of such date, the Equity Securities are issued; and
-
(iii) must be calculated in accordance with the formula prescribed by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2.
Resolution 9 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to have the ability to issue securities under the 10% Share Placement Capacity. The approval of Resolution 9 will provide the Company with greater flexibility to issue securities in addition to the 15% placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without a further requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
6.2 Information required by Listing Rule 7.3A
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, the following information is provided for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval for Resolution 9:
(a) Minimum price
The minimum price at which securities may be issued under the 10% Share Placement Capacity is 75% of the volume weighted average price of securities in the same class calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price of the securities to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if they are not issued within 10 ASX trading days of the date in paragraph (i), the date on which the securities are issued.
(b) Potential risk of economic and voting dilution
If this Resolution is approved by Shareholders and securities are issued under the 10% Share Placement Capacity, the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any securities under the issue would be diluted.
Shareholders should note that in such circumstances, as with any time in the market, there is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for Equity Securities issued under the 10% Share Placement Capacity may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A; and
-
(ii) the Equity Securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Equity Securities on the issue date.
As required by the Listing Rules, below is a hypothetical example of the potential dilution of Shareholders of the Company where the full 10% Share Placement Capacity is utilised, on the basis of three different assumed issue prices and numbers of Equity Securities on issue.

Note: the table above has been prepared on the following assumptions:
-
The Issue Price of $2.30 is based on the closing price of shares on 12 April 2021;
-
The current issued share capital has been calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2);
-
The Company issues the maximum number of securities available under the 10% Share Placement Capacity;
-
No options are exercised prior to the date of issue of any shares under the 10% Share Placement Capacity;
-
The table shows the effect of issues of the Company’s Equity Securities under the 10% Share Placement Capacity, not under the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1; and
-
The table does not show an example of dilution that may occur to any particular Shareholder due to any placements under the 10% Share Placement Capacity.
(c) Timing of potential issues
If Shareholders approve Resolution 9, securities may be issued under the 10% Share Placement Capacity during the period commencing on the date of the Meeting and ending on the first to occur of the following:
-
(i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting;
-
(ii) the Company’s next annual general meeting; and
-
(iii) the date of Shareholder approval for any transaction under Listing Rules 11.1.2 (significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking).
(d) Purpose of potential issue
Shares must be issued under the 10% Share Placement Capacity for cash consideration. The Company intends to use any funds raised from such issues for working capital purposes.
The Company will comply with its disclosure obligations under Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.3 upon any issue of shares under the 10% Share Placement Capacity.
- (e) Allocation policy under the 10% Share Placement Capacity
18
The Company’s allocation policy will depend on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue under the 10% Share Placement Capacity.
Potential allottees of securities under the 10% Share Placement Capacity will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to factors which may include:
-
(i) the methods of raising funds which are available to the Company, including the time and market exposure associated with the various methods of raising capital applicable at the time of the raising;
-
(ii) the effect of any such issue on the control of the Company;
-
(iii) the financial situation of the Company; and
-
(iv) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers.
As at the date of this Notice, no allottees for a placement under the 10% Share Placement Capacity have been determined. They may, however, include substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
(f) Prior issues and shareholder approval
The Company has previously obtained Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A with the last approval being at its 2019 Annual General Meeting held on 21 May 2020.
The Company has not previously issued securities or agreed to issue securities under Listing Rule 7.1A in the 12 months preceding the date of the Meeting.
(g) Voting Exclusion statement
A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholders or class of security holders in relation to the proposed 10% Share Placement Capacity. Accordingly, no existing Shareholder will be excluded from voting under the voting exclusion statement in the Notice.
The Directors of the Company unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 9. The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 9.
RESOLUTION 10 – RATIFICATION OF PRIOR ISSUE OF SECURITIES (PLACEMENT)
On 30 October 2020, the Company issued 276,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares following the successful completion of a placement to sophisticated and professional investors, the details of which were announced to the market on 22 October 2020 ( Placement ).
Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.
The Placement does not fit within any of these exceptions and, as the Placement has not yet been approved by the Company’s shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following 30 October 2020.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of Equity Securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
19
The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issues under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
To this end, Resolution 10 seeks shareholder approval to the Placement under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
If Resolution 10 is passed, the Placement will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following 30 October 2020.
If Resolution 10 is not passed, the Placement will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in ASX Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12 month period following 30 October 2020.
Morgans Corporate Limited acted as Lead Manager to the Placement. The Placement was priced at $0.03 per share and raised gross proceeds of approximately $8.3 million.
For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided:
-
(i) the number of Shares issued under the Placement was 276,000,000;
-
(ii) the shares issued under the Placement were issued at a price of A$0.03 per Share;
-
(iii) Shares under the Placement were issued to a range of sophisticated and professional investors identified by Morgans Corporate Limited who qualify under the requirements of sections 9 and 708 of the Corporations Act;
-
(iv) the shares issued under the Placement were fully paid ordinary shares which rank equally with other existing Shares from the date of issue;
-
(v) the net funds raised from the Placement will be used by the Company to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet and drive future growth with a focus on:
-
(A) accelerating expansion into the new markets of the USA, Brazil and Australia through increased marketing and sales;
-
(B) advancing product development through:
-
(1) increasing AI functionality including image algorithms, tools and additional 3rd party integrations;
-
(2) development of the Alula Market Place - a pathology marketplace workflow platform providing genetic diagnostics, logistics management and second opinion process; and
-
(3) expansion into other verticals including gastrology and other specialist platforms where the Company has a first mover advantage;
-
(vi) a voting exclusion statement applies to Resolution 10 and is set out earlier in this Notice of Meeting.
The Directors unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 10.

SUMMARY OF IMEXHS’ LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
The terms and conditions of the Plan are set out in comprehensive rules. A summary of the rules of the Plan is set out below:
-
The Plan is open to Directors, senior management, and any other employees of the Company or its subsidiaries, as determined by the Board. Participation is voluntary.
-
Types of awards under the Plan include (each an Award ):
-
Options;
-
performance rights;
-
Shares; and
-
loan funded Shares.
-
The Board may determine the type and number of Awards to be issued under the Plan to each participant and other terms of issue of the Awards, including:
-
what service-based conditions and/or performance hurdles must be met by a participant in order for an Award to vest (if any);
-
the fee payable (if any) to be paid by a participant on the grant of Awards;
-
the exercise price of any Option granted to a participant;
-
the period during which a vested option can be exercised; and
-
any forfeiture conditions or disposal restrictions applying to the Awards and any Shares that a participant receives upon exercise of their options or performance rights.
-
The Board may, in its discretion, also determine that the Company will issue limited recourse loans to participants to use for the purchase of Shares as part of an Award of Shares under the Plan (loan funded Shares).
-
When any service-based conditions and/or performance hurdles have been satisfied, participants will receive fully vested Shares or their options/performance rights will become vested and will be exercisable over Shares (as applicable).
-
Each vested Option and performance right enables the participant to be issued or to be transferred one Share upon exercise, subject to the rules governing the Plan and the terms of any particular offer.
-
Participants holding Options or performance rights are not permitted to participate in new issues of Equity Securities by the Company but adjustments may be made to the number of Shares over which the Options or performance rights are granted and/or the exercise price (if any) to take into account changes in the capital structure of the Company that occur by way of pro rata and bonus issues in accordance with the rules of the Plan and the ASX Listing Rules.
-
The Plan limits the number of Awards that the Company may grant without Shareholder approval, such that the sum of all Awards on issue (assuming all options and performance rights were exercised) do not at any time exceed in aggregate 10% of the total issued capital of the Company as at the date of any proposed new Awards.
-
The Plan defines the circumstances where a participant may be considered a good leaver. In these circumstances the Board has sole and absolute discretion in determining the manner in which any unvested Awards may be dealt with.
-
In the event of a change of control event, unless the Board in it is sole and absolute discretion deems otherwise, Awards granted will vest on a pro rata basis where the Board considers vesting conditions and performance hurdles applicable to those Awards to have been satisfied.
-
The Board may at any time amend the Plan, or the terms and conditions upon which Awards have been issued under the Plan, subject to the requirements of the Constitution, the Listing
22
Rules and requirement to not materially reduce the rights of any participants (as set out in clause 22 of the Plan).
- The Board may delegate management and administration of the Plan, together with any of their powers or discretions under the Plan, to a committee of the Board or to any one or more persons selected by them as the Board thinks fit.
