Australian Securities Exchange Announcement

IMPEDIMED ANNOUNCES CAPITAL RAISING

A$5 Million Placement Fully Underwritten A$7 Million Entitlement Offer Fully Underwritten

ImpediMed Limited ( ImpediMed or the Company ) is pleased to announce a fully underwritten capital raising of A$12 million (before costs), comprising a placement to professional and sophisticated investors at an offer price of A$0.64 per share to raise A$5 million ( Placement ) and a renounceable 1 for 9 pro-rata entitlement offer at an offer price of A$0.64 per share to eligible shareholders to raise A$7 million ( Entitlement Offer ). The Placement and Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten by Wilson HTM Corporate Finance Limited.

ImpediMed’s primary focus is to accelerate the adoption of its L-Dex[TM] U400 instrument ( U400 ) in the United States. In October 2008, the U400 became the first medical device to receive US Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) clearance for aiding in the clinical assessment of unilateral lymphedema of the arm for female breast cancer survivors. Since receiving FDA clearance, the Company has signed L-Dex[TM] agreements with around 50 breast surgeons and oncologists, including key opinion leaders in the field.

Proceeds from the Placement and Entitlement Offer will primarily be used to facilitate adoption of the U400 by surgeons and oncologists in the US. Use of funds include:

  • expanding the US sales, technical support and managed care team;

  • funding of a potential lymphedema patient registry in association with the American Society of Breast Surgeons;

  • continuing market development including activities targeted at maintaining and building reimbursement;

  • expanding regulatory and quality resources; and

  • funding additional working capital as required.

“It is an exciting time for the company as we build on the progress we have made to date in signing L-Dex[TM] agreements in the US market. We have now signed around 50 agreements with US breast surgeons and ImpediMed has a building list of prospects. Following completion of the capital raising, the Company will be in a stronger position to invest into programs targeted at supporting existing reimbursement coverage and building more coverage across multiple US healthcare payers. US reimbursement coverage is critical to both maintaining present L-Dex[TM] agreements and driving broad adoption of the U400 by US breast surgeons and oncologists,” said Greg Brown, Chief Executive Officer.

Placement

The Company will issue approximately 7,812,500 shares under the Placement, which equates to approximately 8.66% of the Company’s issued capital. Shares issued under the Placement will be eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer. The terms of the underwriting for the Placement are materially the same as the terms of the underwriting for the Offer Summary, lodged with ASX on or about the date of this announcement.

Entitlement Offer

Under the Entitlement Offer, eligible shareholders are invited to participate on a pro-rata basis to their existing holdings by subscribing for 1 new ImpediMed share ( New Shares ) for every 9 ImpediMed shares owned, at a price of A$0.64 per share ( Entitlement ). Shareholders will be entitled to apply for additional shares under a shortfall facility.

The offer price of A$0.64 represents a discount of 15.2% to ImpediMed’s closing price on 25 May 2009 and a discount of 16.0% to the one month VWAP.[1]

The Entitlements are renounceable and will be tradeable on ASX or transferable. Shareholders with registered addresses in Australia and New Zealand, as at 7:00 pm AEST on the Record Date will be entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer ( Eligible Shareholders ).
