Dear shareholder
I invite you to attend the Company’s Annual General Meeting which will be held at the RACV Club, 501 Bourke Street Melbourne, on Monday 29 November 2010, commencing at 10.30AM.
The notice of meeting, together with the explanatory memorandum, is attached for your information. For shareholders that have requested a copy of the 2010 Annual Report, the Report is also attached. For shareholders that have not requested a copy of the report a copy is available for viewing or downloading from the Company’s website at www.immuron.com.
Attendance at the meeting will provide you with the opportunity to listen to presentations by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr Grant Rawlin, and Professor Yaron Ilan, the Company’s Medical Director, on the progress of the various projects in which Immuron has conducted significant preclinical and clinical studies in the past twelve months, together with the projects in the pipeline for the coming year.
During the past year considerable progress has been made with the influenza prevention and metabolic syndrome/liver disease projects. The Company is currently performing additional preclinical studies using ferrets in respect of influenza and has announced very encouraging results from the recent liver disease (NASH) clinical trial conducted in Israel.
One of the resolutions being put to members at the Annual General Meeting is approval for the reinsertion in the Company’s Constitution of a clause that provides extra protection to shareholders in the event that the Company receives a proportional takeover bid. Your Directors are of the opinion that the present market capitalisation of the Company does not properly reflect the value attributable to the Company’s intellectual portfolio, given the significant R & D work undertaken in the past twelve months and the results obtained from its preclinical and clinical studies. The reinsertion of this clause does not prevent any acceptable form of partial takeover offer being made; however, it provides the Directors with the power to ensure all shareholders are fully informed of any partial offer and provides the facility for shareholders to approve any such offer.
I look forward to meeting you at the Annual General Meeting
Yours faithfully

RECEIPT OF FINANCIAL REPORTS
The Company’s financial report and the reports of the directors and auditor for the year ended 30 June 2010 are placed before the meeting giving shareholders the opportunity to discuss these documents and to ask questions.

RESOLUTION 1 - ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
The Company’s remuneration report is placed before the meeting and the shareholders may vote to adopt or not adopt the remuneration report. The Corporations act 2001 (Cth) ( Corporations Act ) provides that the vote by shareholders on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company.
Shareholders will have the opportunity to ask questions about, and comment on, the remuneration report.
The Company's Board of Directors (Board) unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
RESOLUTIONS 2 AND 3- RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
In accordance with article 83 of the Company’s Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4, at every Annual General Meeting one-third of the Directors (other than the Managing Director who is exempt under article 85), or, if their number is not a multiple of three, then the numbers nearest to but not less than one-third must retire from office. In accordance with these provisions, Professor Colin Chapman and Mr Simon Sallka are due to retire and are eligible for re-election.
The Board (for each Resolution, in the absence of the relevant Director whose re-election is being considered) unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 2 and 3.
Professor Colin Chapman
Professor Colin Chapman was appointed to the Board on 18 June 2008 and was elected
Chairman on 17 December 2008.
Professor Chapman is a former Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at Monash University (1991-2006) and is now Professorial Fellow at the Australian Health Workforce Institute, University of Melbourne.

4
pharmacology. His PhD was obtained following research centred on immunology at the Walter and Eliza Institute in Melbourne and he has maintained a keen professional interest and involvement in all aspects of immunology ever since. During his period as Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy he played key roles in the commercialisation of a drug to prevent/treat influenza, Relenza®, and in the establishment of Acrux, a company formed to commercialise transdermal drug delivery techniques developed in the Faculty of Pharmacy.
Professor Chapman is a member of the Hadasit Steering Committee.
Mr Simon Sallka
Mr Sallka was appointed to the Board on 18 June 2008.

Mr Sallka has worked for extended periods in the international investment markets of Japan, USA and Asia including leading hedge funds. Mr Sallka is currently the Chief Investment Officer of Falcon Capital Pty Ltd.
RESOLUTION 4 - ELECTION OF DIRECTOR
In accordance with article 70 of the Company’s constitution and Listing Rule 14.4, all Directors who have been appointed to fill casual vacancies may only hold office until the next Annual General Meeting where they must retire, but are eligible for election. Accordingly, Dr Elane Zelcer who was appointed a casual Director on 19 November 2009 retires and offers herself for election as a Director.
The Board (in the absence of Dr Elane Zelcer) unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

RESOLUTION 5 - APPROVAL OF PRIOR ISSUES OF SECURITIES
Issue of Shares
Resolution 5 is being put before shareholders in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
Under Listing Rule 7.1, the Company may issue up to 15% of its ordinary share capital in any 12-month rolling period without shareholder approval. Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4, a company may subsequently obtain approval from shareholders for a prior issue of securities
5
made without shareholder approval, provided the prior issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1. In doing so, the Company then ‘refreshes’ its ability under Listing Rule 7.1 to issue up to 15% of its issued capital in any 12 month period. The Directors believe that it is important for the Company to have the ability to issue securities under Listing Rule 7.1 and that it is in the best interests of the Company to enhance its Listing Rule 7.1 flexibility, as it enables the Company to move quickly to undertake fund raising when necessary.
The Board now seeks shareholder approval to the issue of these additional shares to refresh the Company's ability in the future to issue up to 15% of its share capital, without obtaining prior shareholder approval, under Listing Rule 7.1.
Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the Company provides the following information:
-
(a) The number of securities allotted was 20, 568,777 fully paid ordinary shares.

RESOLUTION 6 - REINSERTION OF PROPORTIONAL BID PROVISIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION
Article 137 of the Company’s Constitution contains provisions dealing with member approval requirements if there were to be any proportional takeover bids for the Company’s securities ( Proportional Bid Provisions ).
A "proportional takeover bid" means an off-market bid for a specified proportion of the Company’s securities held by each shareholder in a class for which a takeover bid has been made. It is not a bid for all securities held by all members of that class, only part of the securities each holds.
Part 6.5 Subdivision 5C of the Corporations Act provides that these Proportional Bid Provisions cease to apply at the end of 3 years from their adoption (or last renewal), but that they may be renewed by special resolution of the members. The Board believes it is appropriate that the Proportional Bid Provisions of the Company’s Constitution (Article 137) be renewed.
By operation of section 648G (3) of the Corporations Act, Article 137 has technically been omitted by the passage of time without renewal. In seeking the members’ approval for the reinsertion of the Proportional Bid Provisions, the Corporations Act requires the information below to be provided to members.
6.1 Effect of provisions proposed to be reinserted
Article 137 of the Constitution provides that the Company is prohibited from registering any transfer of shares giving effect to a contract of sale pursuant to a proportional takeover bid unless and until after the proposed transfer has been approved by the members at a general meeting of the Company ( Approving Resolution ). The person making the offer for the securities ( Offeror ) (and their associates) cannot vote on the Approving Resolution and the Approving Resolution requires the approval of more than 50% of members who are entitled to vote at that meeting.
The Corporations Act also provides that:
-
a) If an Approving Resolution is not voted upon within 14 days of the end of the bid period, the Approving Resolution is deemed approved, and
-
b) If the Approving Resolution is rejected, all unaccepted offers under the proportional takeover bid are deemed withdrawn and the Offeror must rescind each contract created as a result of the acceptance of an offer under that proportional takeover bid.
6.2 Reasons for the resolution
Article 137 of the Constitution is required to be renewed as more than 3 years have passed since the initial adoption of the Constitution. Section 648(G) (1) of the Corporations Act provides that Proportional Bid Provisions such as provided in Article 137 cease to apply at the end of 3 years from their adoption (or their last renewal). Section 648(G) (4) enables the members to approve a renewal of Proportional Bid Provisions.
The Directors believe that the members should continue to have the choice of considering whether to accept a bid for what might become control of the Company without the members having the opportunity to dispose of all of their securities (rather than just some of their securities, as would be the case under a proportional takeover bid). To preserve this choice, Article 137 needs to be renewed. If Article 137 is renewed and any proportional takeover bid (if any) is subsequently approved by members, each member will still have the right to make
8
a separate decision whether that member wishes to accept the (proportional takeover) bid for their own securities.
6.3 Awareness of current acquisition proposals
As at the date of these Explanatory Notes, none of the Directors is aware of any proposal by any person to acquire, or increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.
6.4 The advantages and disadvantages of the Proportional Bid Provisions since their adoption
As there have been no takeover bids made for any of the shares in the Company since the adoption of the Proportional Bid Provisions, there has been no application of Article 137. It may be argued that the potential advantages and disadvantages described at 6.5 below have also applied for the period since adoption of Article 137.
6.5 Potential advantages and disadvantages of the proposed resolution for both Directors and shareholders
An advantage to the directors of renewing the Proportional Bid Provisions is that the Board will be able to assess the member’s acceptance or otherwise of a proportional takeover bid should one be made.
As stated at 6.2 above, renewing Article 137 provides the members with the choice of considering whether to accept a bid for what might become control of the Company without the members having the opportunity to dispose of all of their securities (rather than just some of their securities, as would be the case under a proportional takeover bid). If Article 137 is not renewed, members will not have this opportunity.
On the other hand, it may be argued that the renewal of Article 137 may make proportional takeover bids more difficult to succeed and therefore effectively discourage proportional takeover bid being made and reduce the freedom for members to sell some of their securities.
6.6 Recommendation for Resolution 6
Balancing the above advantages and disadvantages, the Directors are of the view that the advantages of renewing the Proportional Bid Provisions outweigh any disadvantages and unanimously recommend the renewal. Accordingly, shareholder approval is sought pursuant to this Resolution 6.
The Chairman in his capacity as proxy holder intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of approving this Resolution 6.
RESOLUTION 7 - APPROVAL OF SHARE ISSUE TO SOPHISTICATED OR PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS
The Company proposes to issue up to 40,000,000 Shares within 3 months from the date the resolution is passed. The issue price of the shares is to be at least 85% of the volume weighted average sale price of the ordinary shares in the Company, calculated over the last 5 days on which sales in the shares were recorded before the day on which the issue is made. For example, if the 5 day volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares at the time at which the issue is made is $0.10 cents; the shares would be issued at not less than $0.085 cents.
9
As at the date of this explanatory statement the issued capital of the Company:
| Current number of shares on issue | 314,418,166 |
|---|---|
| Proposed issue of shares to sophisticated and | 40,000,000 |
| professional investors | |
| Total new shares on issue | 354,418,166 |
Listing Rule 7.1 prohibits a company from issuing or agreeing to issue equity securities (i.e. shares and/or options) which amounts to more than 15% of its ordinary securities without the approval of its shareholders.
Further, equity securities issued with approval of holders of a company’s ordinary securities in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1 do not count towards the 15% limit on equity securities issued without shareholder approval imposed by Listing Rule 7.1.
As set out above, the Company proposes to issue up to 40,000,000 shares to sophisticated and professional investors, which represents 12.72% of its current issued capital of 314,418,166 ordinary shares. The Company therefore seeks shareholder approval to issue the shares to sophisticated and professional investors pursuant to Listing rule 7.1.
The following information is provided in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3:
-
the maximum number of shares the Company is to issue to sophisticated and professional investors is 40,000,000 shares;
-
the shares will be issued by no later than three months after the date of this Annual General Meeting;
-
the issue price of the shares will be not less than 85% of the volume weighted market price of the shares calculated over the last 5 days on which the sales in the shares were recorded before the day on which the issue is to be made;
-
The names of the allottees are unknown at this stage. The shares will be issued to sophisticated and professional investors at the discretion of the Directors.
-
The shares will be issued on the same terms as, and rank pari passu with, the existing ordinary shares of the Company and will be quoted on the ASX.
-
The intended use of the funds raised under the issue is for additional working capital to enable the Company to continue with its expanded research and development activities.
-
the Company anticipates allotting the shares progressively throughout the three month period after the date of this Annual General Meeting, as and when sophisticated and/or professional investors desire to invest funds in the Company
The Board believes that the proposed issue is beneficial for the Company and recommends shareholders vote in favour of the resolution. It will allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue the maximum number of equity issues permitted under Listing Rule 7.1 without shareholder approval during the next 12 months.
10
Voting Exclusion Statement
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3, the Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 7 by any person who may participate in the proposed share issue pursuant to this Resolution 7 and an associate of that person.
However, the Company need not disregard a vote if:
-
it is cast by a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or
-
It is cast by the person chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.
