IMMURON DRAWS DOWN ON SECOND TRANCHE OF FUNDING FACILITY WITH PALADIN LABS

Melbourne, Australia, 18 February 2013 : Immuron Limited (ASX: IMC) announces that it has drawn down $CA 0.5 million, being the second tranche of the debenture agreement that facilitates a funding arrangement under which Paladin will have provided a total of $CA 1.5 million to Immuron.

This follows an initial drawdown of $CAD1.0 million that was announced on 16 January 2012. The term of the Debenture include a coupon rate of 10% and will not be due for repayment until three (3) years from the date of the initial drawdown, being 13 January 2015.

This second debenture includes provision for Paladin Labs Inc. to elect to convert at any time prior to the repayment date at a conversion price of AU$0.0473. Further the amount of $CA 0.5 million to be drawn down under the second debenture includes provision that it will automatically convert into fully paid ordinary shares of the Company where the Company subsequently raises at least an additional AU$1.5M within an agreed time frame. The price under an automatic conversion is the lower of (i) AU$0.0473 and (ii) the issue price per fully paid ordinary share at which Immuron subsequently raises capital; and otherwise on the same terms as those issued under any such subsequent capital raise. Immuron currently has no other capital raising commitments at this time.

The further funding under the Paladin second debenture will be used by Immuron for working capital and to continue expansion of its territories for Travelan. Immuron believes that the drawdown of the Paladin second debenture places it in a stronger position with respect to any further capital it seeks for the continued commercialization of Travelan and the further progress of its pipeline products.

Additional details of the Paladin debenture is contained in the attached cleansing notice prepared in compliance with ASIC class order 10‐322.

Immuron is uniquely positioned with a versatile technology platform capable of generating a wide range of products with a high safety profile. This high safety profile makes it possible to complete pre‐clinical studies relatively quickly and increases the prospect that the clinical development of Immuron’s products will be expedited. Immuron’s current products and product candidates target infectious diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, chronic diseases such as fatty liver (NASH), and the prevention of influenza.

Immuron’s main scientific alliances are with Hadassah Medical Center (Israel), the University of Melbourne and Monash University (Australia).

About Travelan

Travelan prevents travellers’ diarrhoea (TD). It is a natural product derived from Australian dairy cows that is up to 90% effective. Travelan®, made from Immuron’s bovine colostrum technology, substantially reduces the risk of developing TD, an illness afflicting up to six‐in‐10 travellers to high risk destinations. The caplets, which contain milk proteins derived from the colostrum of Australian dairy cows, neutralise the Escherichia coli bacteria – the leading cause of TD – before the onset of symptoms. In a randomized, controlled clinical trial published in the peer‐reviewed Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology in July, Australian and Polish researchers established the 90 per cent efficacy finding and that the Travelan oral formulation contains antibodies that significantly reduce the risk of diarrhoea and helps reduce the symptoms of minor gastrointestinal conditions.

under the 2013 Fund Raising (if any) (in which case
Paladin will need to subscribe for those options under
the terms of a prospectus to be lodged with ASIC by
Immuron in connection with that offer). At the date of
this notice, Immuron has made no decision whether or
not to proceed with any 2013 Fund Raising, and, if so,
whether any 2013 Fund Raising will involve the issue of

apply to ASX for quotation of any new Immuron Shares issued on the
conversion of the Debenture as soon as practicable, and in any event
within the time required under the ASX Listing Rules. Immuron must
also apply to ASX for quotation of any new options issued to Paladin
on conversion of the Debenture.
**Transferability ** The Debenture is not transferable by either party without the written
consent of the other (unless by Paladin to one of its affiliates).

3.3 Effect on Capital Structure Effect on capital structure

The capital structure of Immuron will be affected by any conversion of the Debenture which will result in additional Immuron Shares being issued. At that time, Immuron’s debt position will decrease accordingly.

Subject to the anti-dilution provisions in the Debenture, the number of Immuron Shares issued on any conversion of the Debenture (other than where conversion is an automatic conversion as a result of the 2013 Fund Raising) will be calculated by dividing the outstanding Principal Amount by the “conversion price”, being the Canadian dollar equivalent at the Bank of Canada noon rate on the day of conversion of 4.73 Australian cents.

If the Debenture is converted at a conversion price of the Canadian dollar equivalent of 0.0473 Australian dollars (4.73 Australian cents), the share capital structure of the Company

15596649v3 NZM

7

before and after the conversion (assuming no intervening anti-dilution events) would be as appears in column B of the Table A below. For the representative examples in Table A, a Canadian dollar/Australian dollar exchange rate of .9638 has been applied (which was the Bank of Canada noon rate on 15 February 2013.

In addition, the Debenture also includes provision for an automatic conversion where Immuron conducts the 2013 Fund Raising on or prior to 30 June 2013 and raises at least AU$1.5 million (excluding the funds raised under the Debenture) via an offer of securities. In the event of an automatic conversion as a result of a 2013 Fund Raising, the Debenture will convert at the lower of the Canadian dollar equivalent of 4.73 Australian cents and the issue price of the capital raising (provided that the minimum issue price for the ordinary shares under the capital raising is at a specified minimum issue price). At this time Immuron, has no commitments for any additional capital raising.

For any automatic conversion of the debenture, the number of Ordinary Shares and, if relevant, options, into which the Principal Amount will convert will be determined having regard to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act. Where that would require a smaller number than would otherwise be issued, Paladin can require Immuron to seek shareholder approval for the issue of the additional shares (and, if relevant, options). If shareholder approval is not obtained, Immuron must pay an additional amount (determined by reference to the additional shares and, if relevant, options, that could not be issued without shareholder approval) and/or issue a replacement convertible note representing the continued indebtedness.

The impact of the issue of the Debenture on the capital structure of the Company (subject to the anti-dilution provisions of the Debenture) is detailed in Table A below to outline -

(A) current issued capital immediately prior to the issue of the Debenture;

(B) share capital structure assuming conversion of the Debenture in full (ie, the maximum number of shares which may be issued under the Debenture terms) at the Canadian dollar equivalent of 4.73 Australian cents (either at the election of Paladin or on an automatic conversion event other than as a result of a 2013 Fund Raising); and

(C) share capital structure assuming automatic conversion in full (ie, the maximum number of shares which may be issued under the Debenture terms) as a result of a 2013 Fund Raising, but excluding any securities to be issued in connection with the 2013 Fund Raising.

Important notes:

  • This table is based on current issued capital and does not include the impact of any exercise of the Company's existing options (detailed in Table B below). If any options are exercised and shares are issued to option holders, this would decrease the relative proportion of shares held by Paladin on conversion (all things being equal). This table assumes a Canadian dollar/Australian dollar exchange rate of .9638 (which is the Bank of Canada noon rate on 15 February 2013).

** Note that these figures exclude the number of shares (if any) that may be issued under a 2013 Fund Raising. At the time of issue of this notice, Immuron has no commitments or decision in respect of any possible 2013 Fund Raising and therefore it is not possible to provide details of the impact of the automatic conversion of the Debenture where the conversion occurs as a result of any 2013 Fund Raising event.

*** The actual number of fully paid ordinary shares to be issued on conversion may be less than this number

Listed and unlisted options issued by the Company, (prior to the issue of Debenture) are as set out in Table B below:

****Whilst it is not regarded as an option to purchase shares, it is noted that should the Initial Debenture be converted (either on the occurrence of an automatic conversion event prior to 30 June 2013 or at any time prior to the Repayment Date at the election of Paladin), the conversion must be before 13 January 2015 (as the Initial Debenture will otherwise mature on that date). The Principal Amount of the Initial Debenture will convert at a conversion price of the Canadian dollar equivalent (at the Bank of Canada noon rate on the day of conversion) of AU$0.0473, as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Initial Debenture. Using the Canadian dollar/Australian dollar exchange rate as at 15 February 2013, this would result in the issue of 20,375,518 additional fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of AU$0.0473.

4. Rights and liabilities of the Immuron Shares

A summary of the rights attaching to the Immuron Shares is set out below.

Each Shareholder is entitled to receive notice of all general meetings of the Company and to receive all notices, accounts and other documents required to be sent to Shareholders under the Constitution, the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules.

(e) Transfer of Shares
