Eligible shareholders will be invited to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 4 ImpediMed shares owned at 7.00pm (Brisbane time) on the record date, 4 May 2012. Eligible shareholders may apply for New Shares in excess of their Entitlement ( Additional Shares ). The allocation of Additional Shares will be determined by ImpediMed in its sole discretion.
The issue price of $0.35 per New Share represents a 15.5% discount to the theoretical exrights price (TERP)[1] and a 18.6% discount to the closing price of ImpediMed’s shares of $0.43 on 30 April 2012. New Shares issued will rank equally with existing ImpediMed shares.

Institutional Entitlement Offer
Eligible institutional and sophisticated shareholders identified by ImpediMed and the Joint Lead Managers have been invited to participate in the initial accelerated component of the Entitlement Offer. New Shares not taken up by those shareholders and those which would have been offered to ineligible institutional shareholders have been offered for subscription to eligible institutional shareholders and selected other institutional investors through a volume bookbuild process at the issue price.
1 TERP is the theoretical price at which shares should trade immediately after the ex-date for the Entitlement Offer assuming 100% take-up of the Entitlement Offer. The theoretical ex-rights price is a theoretical calculation only and the actual price at which shares trade immediately after the ex-date for the Entitlement Offer will depend on many factors and may not be equal to the theoretical ex-rights price.
