EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of the Notice convening the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of Immutep Limited ( Company ) to be held at Level 23, Governor Macquarie Tower, 1 Farrer Place, Sydney NSW 2000.

This Explanatory Memorandum is to assist Shareholders in understanding the background to, and the legal and other implications of, the Notice and the reasons for the proposed resolutions. Both documents should be read in their entirety and in conjunction with each other.

If you do not understand the contents of this Explanatory Memorandum or are not sure what to do, you should consult your stockbroker or other professional adviser.

Terms used but not defined in this Explanatory Memorandum have the meanings given to them in the Glossary.

1. 2022 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

Background

The first item of the Notice of Meeting deals with the presentation of the consolidated annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2022, together with the Directors’ declaration and report in relation to that financial year and the auditor’s report on those financial statements. Shareholders should consider these documents and raise any matters of interest with the Directors when this item is being considered.

Action Required

No resolution is required to be moved in respect of this item.

Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the Meeting to ask questions and make comments on the financial reports and accounts and on the management of the Company.

The Chairman will also provide Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask the auditor or the auditor’s representative questions relevant to:

  • (a) the conduct of the audit;

  • (b) the preparation and content of the independent audit report;

  • (c) the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of accounts; and

  • (d) the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

The Chairman will also allow a reasonable opportunity for the auditor or their representative to answer any written questions submitted to the auditor under section 250PA of the Corporations Act (which requires questions to be submitted no later than 5 business days prior to the Meeting).

2. RESOLUTION 1: ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

Background

In accordance with section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act , the Company is required to put to its Shareholders a resolution that the Remuneration Report, as disclosed in the Company’s 2022 annual financial report, be adopted. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

The Remuneration Report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for Key Management Personnel of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ Report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2022.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting.

Voting consequences

While the vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company, under the Corporations Act , if at least 25% of the votes cast on a Remuneration Report resolution are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report in two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the re-election of all of the Directors (other than the Chief Executive Officer) who were in office when the applicable Director’s Report was approved at the second annual general meeting ( Spill Resolution ).

If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the extraordinary general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting. All of the Directors (other than the Chief Executive Officer) who were in office when the Directors’ Report (as included in the Company’s annual financial report for the financial year ended immediately before the second annual

2022 Notice of Annual General Meeting | Page 7

==> picture [504 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

general meeting) was approved, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.

Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as Directors of the Company is approved by the Shareholders, will be the Directors of the Company. At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the Remuneration Report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

3. RESOLUTION 2: RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR PETE MEYERS

Background

The Company’s Constitution provides that an election of directors must be held at each annual general meeting. Mr Meyers retires and being eligible, wishes to stand for re-election in accordance with the Company’s Constitution. Mr Meyers was appointed as a Director of the Company on 12 February 2014 and was most recently re-elected as a Director on 1 November 2019.

Mr. Meyers is the Chairman and President of The Thomas M. Brennan Memorial Foundation, Inc., and serves on the Board of Directors of East End Hospice, Inc. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance from Boston College and a Master of Business Administration degree from Columbia Business School.

Directors’ recommendation

The Directors (other than Mr Meyers) unanimously recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3: RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MS LUCY TURNBULL

Background

The Company’s Constitution provides that any director appointed by the Board as an additional director holds office until the next annual general meeting and is eligible for re-election. Ms Turnbull was appointed as a Director on 25 February 2022. Being eligible, she now offers herself for re-election

Ms Turnbull is a distinguished Australian businesswoman, philanthropist and former local government politician.

From 2015 to 2020 she served as the inaugural Chief Commissioner of the Greater Sydney Commission, a NSW state government body focused on delivering strategic planning for the whole of metropolitan Sydney.

Ms Turnbull re-joined Immutep’s Board in February 2022, having previously served as its Chairman from October 2010 to November 2017, stepping down from the role only due to her elevated professional and personal commitments at the time.

Directors’ recommendation

The Directors (other than Ms Turnbull) unanimously recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of 3.

5. RESOLUTION 4: RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – DR FREDERIC TRIEBEL

Background

The Company’s Constitution provides that any director appointed by the Board as an additional director holds office until the next annual general meeting and is eligible for re-election. Dr Triebel was appointed as a Director on 13 September 2022. Being eligible, he now offers himself for re-election.

while also being involved in the biological follow-up of cancer patients treated in Phase I/II immunotherapy trials. He was Director of an INSERM Unit from 1991 to 1996.

First trained as a clinical haematologist, Prof. Triebel holds a Ph.D. in immunology (Paris University) and successfully developed several research programs in immunogenetics and immunotherapy, leading to 153 publications and 31 patents.

Directors’ recommendation

The Directors (other than Dr Triebel) unanimously recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of 4.

6. RESOLUTION 5: APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO MR MEYERS

General

The Board intends to issue Mr Meyers and/or his nominee 1,166,667 Performance Rights to subscribe for 1,166,667 Shares in the Company on the terms and conditions set out in Annexure A to this Explanatory Memorandum.

The performance rights are proposed to be issued to Mr Meyers as remuneration for his services as a Director of the Company and in lieu of cash remuneration for Director’s fees. The number of performance rights to be granted is calculated based on 3 years of directors’ fees at $105,000 p.a. divided by $0.27 (being the 5-day VWAP up to and including 12 September 2022).

The performance rights which are being granted to Mr Meyers for the sole purpose of remunerating him for his services in lieu of cash for his responsibilities as the Non-Executive Chairman of the Company.

The Board believes that the grant of performance rights to Mr Meyers is reasonable as the value of the performance rights will be moderated in accordance with the terms set out in Annexure A to this Explanatory Memorandum. The grant of performance rights is similarly reasonable to the Company, as they allow for the preservation of cash reserves, and will not substantially dilute the remaining Shareholder's shareholdings.

The Directors have therefore formed the view that the proposed grant of performance rights to Mr Meyers, is reasonable and appropriate having regard to the circumstances of the Company and Mr Meyer’s duties and responsibilities.

Having carefully considered the circumstances of the proposed grant of performance rights, the board is also of the view that Resolution 5 is not subject to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), as the performance rights fall under the exception for remuneration which is reasonable in the circumstances of the Company and the Director concerned, under section 211(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires a listed company to obtain shareholder approval, by ordinary resolution, prior to the issue of securities (including the grant of performance rights) to a related party of the Company. Mr Meyers is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a director.

Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the grant of the performance rights to Mr Meyers is required pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11. If Shareholder approval is given under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, separate approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Shareholders should therefore note that if the issue of performance rights to Mr Meyers is approved for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11, the issue will not be included in the Company's 15% placement capacity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rule 10.13 sets out a number of items which must be included in a notice of meeting proposing an approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided to Shareholders:

  • (a) the performance rights will be offered and, if accepted, granted to Mr Meyers and/or his nominee;

  • (b) the maximum number of performance rights to be issued is 1,166,667;

  • (c) the performance rights will be issued on a date which will be no later than 1 month after the date of the AGM Meeting;

  • (d) the performance rights will be issued to Mr Meyers in lieu of the payment of cash fees to him for the period of 1 October 2023 to 30 September 2026;

  • (e) the total current remuneration of Mr Meyers is worth $105,000 p.a. based on non-executive director performance rights with the total value of all three tranches vesting over a three year period being worth $315,000 based on a share price of $0.27 a share;

  • (f) no funds will be raised by the issue of the performance rights to Mr Meyers; and

  • (g) the terms and conditions of the performance rights to be issued to Mr Meyers are set out in Annexure A to this Explanatory Memorandum.

From an economic and commercial point of view, the Directors do not consider that there are any material costs or detriments for the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the performance rights pursuant to this Resolution 5.

2022 Notice of Annual General Meeting | Page 9

==> picture [504 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

The performance rights are being issued to Mr Meyers with the consent of the Company's Remuneration Committee (other than Mr Meyers, who abstained from the discussion and decision) and, in accordance with the Company's remuneration policy and framework, namely that the remuneration is:

  • (a) competitive and reasonable, enabling the Company to attract and retain key talent from both the domestic and international market places;

  • (b) aligned to the Company's strategic and business objectives and the creation of Shareholder value; and

  • (c) acceptable and transparent to Shareholders.

If shareholder approval is not obtained for this resolution Mr Meyers will receive directors’ fees worth $105,000 p.a. in cash instead of the performance rights that he would have received on vesting of each of the tranches over the vesting period indicated in Annexure A had shareholder approval been obtained.

Directors’ recommendation

The Directors (other than Mr Meyers) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

7. RESOLUTION 6: APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO MS TURNBULL

General

The Board intends to issue Ms. Turnbull and/or her nominee 457,832 Performance Rights to subscribe for 457,832 Shares in the Company on the terms and conditions set out in Annexure B to this Explanatory Memorandum.

The performance rights are proposed to be issued to Ms. Turnbull as remuneration for her services as a Director of the Company and in lieu of cash remuneration for Director’s fees. The number of performance rights to be granted is calculated based on 3.76 years of directors’ fees at $45,000 p.a. divided by $0.37 (being the 5-day VWAP up to and including 18 February 2022).

The performance rights, which are being granted to Ms. Turnbull for the sole purpose of remunerating her for her services in lieu of additional cash for her responsibilities as the Non-Executive Director of the Company.

The Board believes that the grant of performance rights to Ms Turnbull is reasonable as the value of the performance rights will be moderated in accordance with the terms set out in Annexure B to this Explanatory Memorandum. The grant of performance rights is similarly reasonable to the Company, as they allow for the preservation of cash reserves, and will not substantially dilute the remaining Shareholder's shareholdings.

The Directors have therefore formed the view that the proposed grant of performance rights to Ms Turnbull, is reasonable and appropriate having regard to the circumstances of the Company and Ms Turnbull’s duties and responsibilities.

Having carefully considered the circumstances of the proposed grant of performance rights, the board is also of the view that Resolution 6 is not subject to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), as the performance rights fall under the exception for remuneration which is reasonable in the circumstances of the Company and the Director concerned, under section 211(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires a listed company to obtain shareholder approval, by ordinary resolution, prior to the issue of securities (including the grant of performance rights) to a related party of the Company. Ms. Turnbull is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a director.

Accordingly, Shareholder approval for the grant of the performance rights to Ms. Turnbull is required pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11. If Shareholder approval is given under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, separate approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Shareholders should therefore note that if the issue of performance rights to Ms. Turnbull is approved for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11, the issue will not be included in the Company's 15% placement capacity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rule 10.13 sets out a number of items which must be included in a notice of meeting proposing an approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided to Shareholders:

  • (a) the performance rights will be offered and, if accepted, granted to Ms. Turnbull and/or her nominee;

  • (b) the maximum number of performance rights to be issued is 457,832;

  • (c) the performance rights will be issued on a date which will be no later than 1 month after the date of the AGM Meeting;

  • (d) the performance rights will be issued to Ms. Turnbull in lieu of the payment of additional cash fees to her for the period of 25 February 2022 to 30 November 2025;

  • (e) Ms. Turnbull’s current total remuneration package inclusive of superannuation is $90,305 p.a. This includes cash fees of $45,305 p.a. and non-executive director performance rights worth $45,000

2022 Notice of Annual General Meeting | Page 10

==> picture [504 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

  • p.a. with the total value of three tranches of performance rights vesting over a three year period being worth $135,000 based on a share price of $0.37 a share;

  • (f) no funds will be raised by the issue of the performance rights to Ms. Turnbull; and

  • (g) the terms and conditions of the performance rights to be issued to Ms. Turnbull are set out in Annexure B to this Explanatory Memorandum.

From an economic and commercial point of view, the Directors do not consider that there are any material costs or detriments for the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the performance rights pursuant to this Resolution 6.

The performance rights are being issued to Ms. Turnbull with the consent of the Company's Remuneration Committee (other than Ms. Turnbull, who abstained from the discussion and decision) and, in accordance with the Company's remuneration policy and framework, namely that the remuneration is:

  • (a) competitive and reasonable, enabling the Company to attract and retain key talent from both the domestic and international market places;

  • (b) aligned to the Company's strategic and business objectives and the creation of Shareholder value; and

  • (c) acceptable and transparent to Shareholders.

If shareholder approval is not obtained for this resolution Ms. Turnbull will receive additional directors’ fees worth $45,000 p.a. in cash instead of the performance rights that she would have received on vesting of each of the tranches over the vesting period indicated in Annexure B had shareholder approval been obtained.

Directors’ recommendation

The Directors (other than Ms. Turnbull) recommend that Shareholders vote in favor of Resolution 6.

8. RESOLUTION 7: APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

General

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, 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 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’ means an entity which is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and which has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity for these purposes as at the date of this Notice.

The Resolution seeks Shareholder approval by way of special resolution for the Company to have the additional 10% capacity provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval. If the Resolution is passed, the Company will be able to issue equity securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If the Resolution 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 Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

The Resolution is a special resolution and therefore requires approval of 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by direct vote, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

Eligibility

An eligible entity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is one which, at the date of the resolution, has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less and is not included in the S&P / ASX 300 Index. If, at the date of the Meeting, the Company’s market capitalisation has risen above $300 million and it is included in the ASX/S&P 300, this resolution will be withdrawn as the Company will not be eligible for the additional 10% placement capacity.

The exact number of equity securities that may be issued pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 which provides those eligible entities which have obtained Shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue,

2022 Notice of Annual General Meeting | Page 11

==> picture [504 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

during the 12-month period after the date of the annual general meeting, a number of equity securities calculated as follows:

(A x D) – E

Where

A is the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue (the relevant period ):

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 other than exception 9, 16 or 17;

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period on the conversion of convertible securities under rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

  • the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the relevant period; or

  • the issue of, or agreement to issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4;

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period under an agreement to issue securities within rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

  • the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the relevant period; or

  • the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • plus the number of fully paid ordinary securities issued in the relevant period with approval under rule 7.1 or rule 7.4;

  • plus the number of partly paid ordinary securities that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • • less the number of fully paid ordinary securities cancelled in the 12 months;

Note that A has the same meaning in the ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity's 15% placement capacity.

D is 10%.

E is the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of ordinary securities under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 or 7.4.

Any equity securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in an existing quoted class of the Company's equity securities. The Company presently has one class of quoted securities, being Shares (ASX Code: IMM).

Required information

The following information is provided to Shareholders to allow them to assess the Resolution, including for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company has the following securities on issue:

  • 879,089,453 Shares;

  • 847,600 unquoted Options;

  • 206,507 unquoted Warrants (each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase 1 American Depository Share (ADS) listed on NASDAQ where one ADS = 10 Ordinary Shares);

  • 859,427 Convertible Notes with a face value of $1.00 per Convertible Note.

and the capacity to issue:

  • 131,863,418 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1; and

  • 87,908,945 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

Minimum price

As required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3, any equity securities issued by the Company under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A can only be issued at a price that is no less than 75% of the volume weighted average market price for securities in that class calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:

  • a) the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is agreed by the Company and the recipient of the securities; or

  • b) if the securities are not issued within 10 trading days of the date in paragraph (a) above, the date on which the securities are issued.

Risk of economic and voting dilution to existing Shareholders

If the Resolution is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues securities under the 10% Placement Capacity, the additional economic and voting interests in the Company will be diluted. There is a risk that the market price of the Company's securities may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Annual General Meeting and the securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price on the issue date.

The table below shows a number of potential dilution scenarios for a capital raising which may be conducted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.4 where the number of the Company's Shares on issue (Variable "A" in the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2) has remained current or increased by either 50% or 100% and the Share price has decreased by 50%, remained current or increased by 100% based on the closing Share price on ASX at 12 October 2022.

The above dilution table uses the following assumptions which the Company does not represent will necessarily occur:

  • a) the “issue price at current market price” is the closing price of the Shares on ASX on 12 October 2022.

  • b) Variable “A” is 879,089,453 which equates to the number of current Shares on issue on 12 October 2022. The number of Shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (for example, a pro-rata issue) or future specific placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders meeting;

  • c) the Company issues the maximum number of securities available under the additional 10% ASX Listing Rule 7.1A approval;

  • d) the table shows only the effect of issues of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;

  • e) no options, warrants, performance rights or convertible notes (including any options issued under the 10% Placement Capacity) are exercised or converted into Shares before the date of issue of equity securities;

  • f) the 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%;

  • g) the table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of the placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Annual General Meeting;

  • h) the issue of Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A consists only of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company; and

  • i) “Funds Raised” are before any capital raising costs which may be incurred.

Duration of 10% Placement Period

Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the Annual General Meeting at which approval is obtained until the earlier of:

2022 Notice of Annual General Meeting | Page 13

==> picture [504 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

  • a) the date which is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval was obtained;

  • b) the time and date of the Company’s next annual general meeting; or

  • c) the date of approval by Shareholders of a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

Purpose of additional 10% Placement Capacity

While the Company does not have any immediate plans to issue Shares under the 10% Placement Capacity, the Company may seek to issue securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for working capital, investing activities (including possible complementary business acquisitions if any are identified and approved by the Board), to meet financing commitments or for capital management activities deemed by the Board to be in the best interests of the Company.

The Company will comply with any disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.3 upon the issue of any securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

Allocation policy

The Company's allocation policy is dependent upon the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity. The identity of allottees of equity securities will be determined on a case by case basis having regard to factors including but not limited to the following:

  • a) the methods of raising funds that are then available to the Company;

  • b) the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;

  • c) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and

  • d) advice from professional and corporate advisers (if applicable).

Allottees under any capital raising which may be conducted under the 10% Placement Capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A have not been determined as at the date of this Notice of Meeting and may include existing and/or new Shareholders but cannot include any related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

Previous Issue of Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

This is the eighth occasion on which Shareholder approval has been sought under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, with the Company having received Shareholder approval at every AGMs held between 2014 to 2020.

The Company did not seek approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A in 2021, and no equity securities have been or will be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A in the 12 months preceding the date of the meeting.

Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.3

When the Company issues equity securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it will give ASX:

  • a) a list of the names of the persons to whom the Company issues the equity securities and the number of equity securities allotted to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and

b) the information required by ASX Listing Rule 3.10.3 for release to the market. At the date of the Notice of Meeting the Company has not invited and has not determined to invite any particular existing Shareholder or an identifiable class of existing Shareholder to participate in an offer under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Accordingly, no existing Shareholder will be excluded from voting on this Resolution.

If Resolution 7 is passed, the Company will be able to issue equity securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A without any further Shareholder approval.

If Resolution 7 is not passed, Immutep Limited will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue equity securities to issue equity securities without Shareholder approval provided for in Listing Rule 7.1A and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing equity securities without shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

Directors’ recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.
