The Manager The Company Announcement Office Australian Securities Exchange Sydney NSW 2000

Dear Sir

Immuron Limited – General Meeting 31 May 2012

Further to the Company's announcement on 23 April 2012, attached is a copy of the Notice of General Meeting and Explanatory Statement for the above meeting which will be distributed to shareholders during this week.

By the way of clarification, the announcement on 23 April referred to options being issued to the investors (subject to shareholder approval being granted) taking up shares in tranche 1 and tranche 2 placements, on the basis of one option being issued for each share subscribed for under the placements. As a correction to that announcement, the options to issue to the tranche 1 and tranche 2 investors will be upon the same basis as the intended Bonus Options, namely one option will be issued for each four (4) shares subscribed for under the placements.

Yours faithfully

Appointment of Proxies

A member entitled to vote may vote their shares directly by completing Step 2 on the enclosed Proxy Form and returning the Proxy Form as indicated below. In this case a member is not appointing a proxy. Members voting directly should complete a "for" or "against" for each resolution. A vote of "abstain" for a direct vote will result in the shares represented by that vote not counting towards a majority vote. If no direction is given for a particular resolution and no proxy appointed, the vote will be passed to the Chairman of the meeting to vote as that member's undirected proxy.

If you are entitled to vote at the meeting you have the right to appoint a proxy to attend and vote in your place. To appoint a proxy you should complete the first section of Step 1 on the attached Proxy Form. The proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. If you are entitled to cast 2 or more votes you may appoint 2 proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If the proxy appointments do not specify the proportion or number of your votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. If there is more than one proxy appointed, on a show of hands only one of the proxies may vote, but on a poll, each proxy may exercise votes in respect of those shares the proxy represents.

Online voting will be available at www.investorvote.com.au. You will require your SRN/HIN and the control number (printed on your proxy form). If you are not voting online the proxy form must be signed by the member or the member's attorney and lodged with Computershare at the address indicated below. In the case of joint holdings all joint holders must sign the proxy form.

The Chairman intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of the resolutions put in the Notice of Meeting.

If a member has not directed their proxy how to vote, the proxy may vote as the proxy determines, and if a member appoints the Chairman of the Meeting as proxy and does not direct the Chairman how to vote on an Item of Business, the Chairman will vote in accordance with his voting intention as stated in this Notice of Meeting, namely in favour of each of the proposed resolutions set out in the Notice of Meeting.

Proxy forms must be received by Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited, GPO Box 242, Melbourne, VIC 3001 or by fax, within Australia 1800 783 447, outside Australia +61 3 9473 2555, no later than 10.00am on Tuesday 29 May 2012.

Unless the appointment states otherwise, the representative may exercise all of the powers that the appointing body could exercise at a meeting or in voting on a resolution.

The representative should bring to the meeting evidence of his or her appointment, including any authority under which the appointment is signed, unless it has previously been given to the Company.

Accordingly, your Board of Directors urge members, when completing the proxy form, to direct the proxy by indicating a vote for either 'For' or 'Against' or 'Abstain’

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This information forms part of the Notice of the General Meeting. The main purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide shareholders with information concerning all of the resolutions proposed in the Notice of General Meeting.

Resolution 1 - 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 of shareholders where they must retire, but are eligible for election. Accordingly, Dr Stewart Washer who was appointed a casual Director on 7 February 2012 retires and offers himself for election as a Director.

The Board (in the absence of Dr Stewart Washer) unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

Dr Washer has considerable experience in negotiating successful commercial partnerships and license agreements in Australia and the rest of the world. He has 15 years’ senior executive and board experience in the areas of medical devices, diagnostics, pharmaceutical development and nutraceuticals.

Dr Washer is currently the investment manager with IB Managers, a highly successful biotechnology fund investing in clinical stage Australasian biotech companies. He is also a non-executive director of iSonea Ltd (ASX: ISN) Healthlinx Ltd (ASX: HTX), and venture partner with Nestlé’s Inventages Fund. He was previously Chairman of Resonance Health Limited and promising head lice treatment company, Hatchtech Pty Ltd. Dr Washer was also on the AusBiotech Board and the Senate at Murdoch University.

Background information to Resolutions 2 to 7 inclusive.

The Company announced on 23 April 2012 that it was undertaking a capital raising program to provide funding for product commercialisation and working capital purposes. This capital raising program represents the following:

  • a) two tranches totalling $1.0 million placement of ordinary shares to Australian professional and sophisticated investors (Investors ) as determined by Patersons Securities Limited in consultation with the Company; and

  • b) an additional $1.0 million underwritten Share Purchase Plan announced by the Company on 23 April ( Plan ) (with an ability to accept up to a total of $1.25 million) offered to existing shareholders of the Company.

The placement to Investors is for a total of 50,000,000 new fully paid ordinary shares and 12,500,000 options at $0.02 per share, of which 30,725,000 new fully paid ordinary shares were issued on or about 23 April 2012 in accordance with the Company’s 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

This meeting has been convened to obtain shareholder approval for the following:

  • a) to ratify the prior issue of the 30,725,000 new fully paid ordinary shares issued in Tranche 1 Placement which has already been undertaken by the Company on or about 23 April 2012;

  • b) the proposed new issue of up to 19,275,000 new fully paid ordinary shares in Tranche 2 Placement;

6

  • c) the proposed issue of up to 12,500,000 options;

  • d) the proposed issue of up to 62,500,000 new fully paid ordinary shares to shareholders under the Plan, of which up to 2,250,000 shares may be subscribed for directors of the Company who are also eligible shareholders of the Company, and

  • e) to the issue of new fully paid ordinary shares to the Underwriter arising from a shortfall in the Plan up to a maximum of 50,000,000 new fully paid ordinary shares.

Resolution 2 - Approval of prior issues of securities pursuant to the Tranche 1 Placement

Resolution 2 is being put before shareholders in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.4, and for all other purposes. Shareholders are requested to approve the prior issue of 30,725,000 new fully paid ordinary shares to Investors as determined by Patersons Securities limited in consultation with the Company ( Tranche 1 Placement ).

The Company has issued the Tranche 1 Placement of 30,725,000 new fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.02 per share to raise $614,500 before costs, on or about 23 April 2012.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 precludes the Company from issuing new equity securities in excess of 15% of its capital in any 12 consecutive month period without the prior approval of Shareholders in a general meeting, subject to a number of exceptions. The issue of the 30,725,000 new fully paid ordinary shares as set out in Resolution 2 was within the 15% limit at the relevant time and therefore did not require the prior approval of Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company in General Meeting ratifies an earlier issue of equity securities, the issue will be treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1, enabling the Company to exclude from its calculation of its 15% entitlement the ratified share issue and therefore refresh its ability to issue further securities up to its 15% limit in the following 12 consecutive month period.

Ratification will also allow the Company to issue the Tranche 2 Placement, even if Resolution 3 is not passed.

ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requires the following information be given to Shareholders for the purposes of a ASX Listing Rule 7.4 approval:

The number of securities allotted

A total of 30,725,000 new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company were issued on or about 23 April 2012.

The price at which the securities were issued

The 30,725,000 new fully paid ordinary shares were issued at $0.02 per share.

The terms of the securities

Each new fully paid ordinary share was issued on the same terms and ranking equally pari passu with the existing fully paid ordinary shares on issue in the Company.

The names of allottees or the basis on which allottees were determined

The allottees were Investors determined by Patersons Securities Limited in consultation with the Company.

7

The use or intended use of the funds raised

The Company will utilise the funds from the Tranche 1 Placement towards the continued commercialisation of Travelan, the ongoing development of selected pipeline products and to provide working capital to meet operating expenses.

A voting exclusion statement

A voting exclusion statement in relation to Resolution 2 is included in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

Director’s Recommendation

The Directors of the Company unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2. The chairperson of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of the approval of Resolution 2.

Resolution 3 - Approval of an issue of securities pursuant to the Tranche 2 Placement

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and for all other purposes, shareholder approval is requested to approve the issue of up to 19,275,000 new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company to institutional and sophisticated investor(s) determined by Patersons Securities Limited in consultation with the Company ( Tranche 2 Placement ).

The Company has agreed to make a Tranche 2 Placement at an issue price of $0.02 per share to raise $385,500 as part of the capital raising program announced on 23 April 2012. As noted above, if Resolution 2 is passed and Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will still have the capacity to proceed with the Tranche 2 Placement within its 15% Rule capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 precludes the Company from issuing new equity securities in excess of 15% of its capital in any 12 consecutive month period without the prior approval of Shareholders in general meeting, subject to a number of exceptions.

The Company intends to apply for quotation of the Options as an additional class of Immuron security on the Official List of the ASX as soon as practical after the approval of this Resolution 4 and in any case in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules. Listing of the Options is subject to satisfaction of the requirements for admission of a new class of security as prescribed under the ASX Listing Rules.

The Options will be exercisable at $0.04 per share at any time on or before 30 April 2015.

The exercise of the proposed Options will potentially raise additional funds of $500,000 if all of the

Options are exercised on or before 30 April 2015.

If Resolutions 2 and 3 are passed, but Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will have the capacity to still proceed with the issue of the Options under its 15% Rule available capacity in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1. However, as the Options are to be issued to the Subscribers of the Tranche 1 Placement and Tranche 2 Placement, the Options will only be issued if both the Tranche 1 Placement and the Tranche 2 Placement shares are issued. Accordingly, the approval of Resolution 3 is a prerequisite for the issue of the Options.

Resolution 7 - Approve the issue of securities to the Underwriter of the Share Purchase Plan in the event of a shortfall.

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and for all other purposes, shareholder approval is requested for Patersons Securities Limited (Underwriter), to place any shortfall resulting from the Share Purchase Plan announced by the Company on 23 April 2012 ( Plan ) following the Closing Date of the Plan.

In relation to the Plan, Shareholder approval is sought to enable the Underwriter to place any shortfall following the closure of the Plan to institutional and sophisticated investor(s) as determined by the Underwriter in consultation with the Company. In accordance with the terms of the agreement with the Underwriter ( Underwriting Agreement ) the amount of any shortfall under the Plan (if any) will be capped at 50,000,000 new fully paid ordinary shares. This means that if acceptances from eligible shareholders (excluding related parties) amount to less than 50,000,000 shares the Underwriter, in conjunction with the Company, will place with institutional and sophisticated investor(s) the difference between the acceptances from these shareholders and 50,000,000 new fully paid ordinary shares. This will ensure that the minimum amount that the Company will receive from the Plan will be $1,000,000 (before costs).

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 precludes the Company from issuing new equity securities in excess of 15% of its capital in any 12 month period without the prior approval of Shareholders in a general meeting, subject to a number of exceptions.

ASX Listing Rule 7.3 requires the following information be given to Shareholders when seeking shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

The maximum number of securities the company is to issue

A total of up to 50,000,000 new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company will be issued if there is a shortfall under the Plan.

The dates of the allotment
