2 Letter from the Chairman

4 April 2014

Dear Shareholder

ImpediMed Limited Share Purchase Plan Offer

On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to offer you the opportunity to apply for New Shares in ImpediMed under the Offer.

The Offer is being made following the Company’s successful institutional placement announced on Friday 28 March 2014 which raised approximately A$8.8 million.

ImpediMed is seeking to raise up to A$3.0 million under the Offer. If ImpediMed receives valid applications exceeding this amount, ImpediMed intends to scale back applications. If this occurs, excess funds will be returned to applicants without interest.

What will the proceeds from the Offer be used for?

Proceeds from the institutional placement and the Offer will be used towards:

  • increasing sales and marketing activities in the US leading up to, and following, the expected publication of a CPT[®] Category I reimbursement code (1 January 2015) for the Company’s L-Dex[®] system;

  • sponsoring post-clearance clinical trials (including trials previously announced);

  • new product development; and

  • general working capital.

Offer details

Under the Offer you can acquire up to A$15,000 worth of New Shares without paying any brokerage or other charges.

The Offer Price is A$0.195 per New Share, representing a discount of 11.4% to ImpediMed’s closing share price on ASX on Tuesday 25 March 2014 (being the last trading day before the details of the Offer were announced). This is the same price offered to investors under the institutional placement.

The Offer will open on Friday 4 April 2014 and will remain open until 5.00 pm (Brisbane time) on Thursday 24 April 2014 .

Participation in the Offer is optional and is open to Eligible Shareholders who are holders of Shares in ImpediMed at 7.00 pm (Sydney time) on Thursday 27 March 2014 and whose registered address is in Australia or New Zealand.

Full details of the Offer and how to participate are contained in the Terms and Conditions in section 5 of this document which I encourage you to read and consider carefully (including the risks set out in section 4).

Further information on ImpediMed’s recent activities are contained in the Company’s ASX announcements which are available from the Company’s website www.impedimed.com and from the ASX website at www.asx.com.au (ASX code: IPD), including the latest investor presentation released on 19 March 2014.

4 Risks

(a) Early stage company with limited revenue

ImpediMed is at an early stage in its commercialisation of its L-Dex[®] medical device. To date, it has operated at a loss and has an operating history of losses. ImpediMed’s ability to generate sufficient revenue in the future depends on a number of factors, including:

  • (i) reimbursement of its L-Dex[®] product, especially in the US;

  • (ii) the success of ImpediMed’s clinical trials;

  • (iii) the ability to manufacture sufficient quantities of products to the required standard and at acceptable cost levels;

  • (iv) the Company meeting its timeline for next generation product launch; and

  • (v) the ability to obtain all necessary regulatory marketing approvals in a timely manner.

There is a risk that ImpediMed will continue to incur losses from its operations and may not achieve or maintain profitability. ImpediMed expects its expenses to increase in the short term in connection with the commercialisation of L-Dex[®] , regulatory approval processes, and the continuing of research and development projects and clinical trials. Over the longer term, ImpediMed’s costs will fluctuate, primarily dependant on commercialisation expenses, regulatory authorisations, and the number, type and size of clinical trials.

(b) Pricing and reimbursement – payment levels, pricing support and CPT[®] Category I Code success

The commercial success of ImpediMed’s approved products is substantially dependent on achieving acceptable payment levels to medical providers to support pricing strategies for L-Dex[®] . Whether acceptable third-party coverage and reimbursement levels are available from government bodies, private health insurers and other thirdparties will be reliant on clinical data and health economic arguments.

The American Medical Association has accepted a CPT Category I Code for L-Dex[®] which is expected to become effective on 1 January 2015. The initial level(s) of reimbursement to be applied to the code has not yet been determined.

Government bodies, national health authorities and other third parties are increasingly seeking to contain healthcare costs by delaying reimbursement for, and limiting both the coverage and the level of reimbursement of, new products. As a result, they may not cover or provide adequate payment for ImpediMed’s products. Even if products receive acceptable pricing and reimbursement, pricing and reimbursement levels are subject to change under healthcare reforms to reduce costs.

(c) Sales and marketing

There is a risk that ImpediMed’s direct sales and marketing efforts may not be successful. ImpediMed has a direct sales and marketing capability to surgeons and radiation oncologists. Third party options for distribution may be limited due to the ‘first to market’ nature of the business.

page 7

Co-marketing programs, with key radiation oncology chains, could have a material impact on pricing if the test is used as a loss leader to leverage other radiation product billable revenue. Marketing partners that do not pursue the reimbursement strategy of coverage under the category codes could impact on the Company’s ability to build coverage and to establish appropriate payment levels to support the pricing strategy for the L-Dex[®] .

(d) Market acceptance of products and patient population

There is a risk that the L-Dex[®] and future products may not gain adequate market acceptance. The degree of market acceptance will depend on a variety of factors, including:

  • (i) regulatory claims;

  • (ii) the clinical trial outcomes;

  • (iii) the level of support from target markets;

  • (iv) the level of reimbursement coverage and payment;

  • (v) the timing of new market introductions;

  • (vi) clinical profile of conventional competitive products; and

  • (vii) the success of marketing & sales efforts.

Additionally, there is a risk that market estimates do not accurately reflect the number of patients in the target markets.

(e) Change in laws and healthcare policy

ImpediMed’s business and the business of the third parties with which it operates are subject to the laws and regulations in a number of jurisdictions. Unforeseen changes in laws and government policy in the US, the EU, Australia and elsewhere, including in relation to material and unforeseen changes to:

  • (i) licensing and approval requirements;

  • (ii) regulations relating to clinical trials;

  • (iii) manufacturing;

  • (iv) product approval; and

  • (v) pricing,

could materially impact ImpediMed’s operations, assets, contracts and profitability.

To date, the Affordable Care Act ( Obama Care ) in the United States has had a material impact in changing dramatically how healthcare has been administered/managed (Accountable Care Organisations). Higher entry hurdles in clinical utility validation, outcomes evidence and code requirements has impacted on coverage development as a result of Obama Care.

(f) Clinical trials and clinical development

To receive regulatory approvals for the commercial sale of products, ImpediMed must complete pre-clinical development and clinical trials to demonstrate safety and efficacy of the device on humans. Clinical trials are expensive, time consuming, subject to delay

page 8

and their outcome uncertain. There are numerous factors that could affect the timing of the commencement, continuation and completion of clinical trials which may delay the clinical trials or prevent ImpediMed from completing these trials successfully.

Due to ImpediMed’s reliance on contract research organisations, hospitals and investigators to conduct clinical trials, ImpediMed is unable to directly control the timing, conduct and expense of clinical trials. Ongoing and future clinical trials may not show sufficient safety or efficacy to obtain regulatory and reimbursement acceptance.

Success in pre-clinical and early clinical trials is not a guarantee of future results nor does it ensure that later large scale trials will be successful. Additional clinical trials for the diagnosis of leg lymphoedema in men and women may also be required in order to obtain FDA approval. The outcome of these trials is uncertain and there is a risk that they may not be successful and may not demonstrate sufficient safety or efficacy to obtain regulatory clearance.

(g) Obtaining regulatory approvals

The clinical development, testing, manufacturing, sales and marketing of ImpediMed’s products are subject to extensive regulation by regulatory authorities in the US, the EU, Australia and elsewhere.

To receive regulatory authorisation for the commercial sale of any product, ImpediMed must complete pre-clinical development and extensive clinical trials to demonstrate safety and efficacy and then apply for clearance/approval to the relevant regulatory authorities.

The process to obtain regulatory authorisation is expensive, complex, lengthy and the outcomes uncertain. ImpediMed may not be able to obtain marketing authorisations for all its targeted claims, including any necessary approval/clearance of next generation devices for bilateral legs or venous insufficiency.

Another possibility is that the targeted claims may be delayed or subject to significant limitations (narrower claims), warnings, precautions or contra-indications with respect to conditions of use.

(h) Ongoing regulatory issues

Even after its medical devices receive regulatory clearance, ImpediMed may still face developmental and ongoing regulatory compliance difficulties.

Regulatory agencies subject a marketed device, its manufacturer and the manufacturer’s facilities to continual review and periodic inspections. Potentially costly follow-ups or post-marketing clinical studies may be required and previously unknown problems may result in restrictions on the marketing of the device and could include product withdrawal.

If ImpediMed fails to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, a regulatory agency may:

  • (i) issue warning letters;

  • (ii) impose civil or criminal penalties;

page 9

  • (iii) suspend ImpediMed’s regulatory authorisation or restrict or change the approved indications for use or impose additional safety reporting requirements;

  • (iv) suspend any of ImpediMed’s ongoing clinical trials;

  • (v) refuse to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications filed;

  • (vi) impose restrictions on ImpediMed’s operations, including closing ImpediMed’s or its contract manufacturers’ facilities or terminating its licenses to manufacture ‘Good Manufacturing Practice’; or

  • (vii) seize or detain devices or require a product recall.

In addition, the law or regulatory policies governing medical devices may change. New regulatory requirements or additional regulations may be enacted that could prevent or delay regulatory approval of ImpediMed’s products or that may otherwise impact ImpediMed‘s ability to market, distribute and sell devices and or consumables. ImpediMed cannot predict the likelihood, nature or extent of adverse government regulation that may arise.

(i) Manufacturing

ImpediMed, or its contract manufacturers and suppliers, may fail to achieve and maintain required manufacturing standards which could result in device recalls or withdrawals, product shortages, delays or failures in product testing or delivery or other problems that could seriously harm ImpediMed’s business.

ImpediMed may be impacted by industrial action. Operating equipment and facilities may not operate as intended or be available as a result of unanticipated failures or other events outside of ImpediMed’s control (eg fires, catastrophic breakdowns or deliberate acts of destruction).

ImpediMed’s and its contract manufacturers may not be able to obtain and maintain all licenses and approvals required to maintain manufacturing operations. Any interruption to ImpediMed’s manufacturing capability could result in the cancellation of shipments and loss of product, resulting in delays and additional costs.

(j) Competition

ImpediMed conducts business in a highly regulated industry and there are a number of well established companies that could develop a competing product. There can be no assurances given in respect of ImpediMed’s ability to compete with such companies.

(k) Product liability claims and insurance

ImpediMed faces product liability exposure with respect to its devices and consumables. This exposure is likely to increase as ImpediMed increases commercial sales. Regardless of merit or eventual outcome, liability claims may result in:

  • (i) decreased demand for ImpediMed’s products;

  • (ii) injury to ImpediMed’s reputation;

  • (iii) withdrawal of clinical trial participants;

  • (iv) costly litigation;

page 10

  • (v) substantial monetary awards to physicians or patients and others;

  • (vi) loss of revenues; and

  • (vii) an inability to commercialise ImpediMed’s products.

ImpediMed may not be able to maintain insurance coverage at a reasonable cost or obtain suitable or reasonable insurance coverage in respect of any liability that may arise. Any claim for damages could be substantial.

(l) Patents and trade marks

ImpediMed uses patents or trade marks to protect its technology and applications from unauthorised use by third parties.

The term of patents may expire or may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. There can be no assurances that ImpediMed’s patents will afford significant commercial protection for its devices.

(m) Enforcement and infringement of intellectual property

Third parties may own or control patents or patent applications that ImpediMed may be required to license in order to commercialise product, that ImpediMed may infringe, or that could result in litigation that would be costly and time consuming.

As a result of intellectual property infringement claims, or to avoid potential claims, ImpediMed might be:

  • (i) prohibited from selling or licensing a product;

  • (ii) required to expend considerable amounts of money in defending the claim;

  • (iii) required to pay substantial royalties or license fees;

  • (iv) required to pay substantial monetary damages; or

  • (v) required to redesign a product so it does not infringe, which may not be possible or could require substantial funds and time.

(n) Dependence on market for L-Dex[®]

Although ImpediMed has a pipeline of market targets for its platform, its success is currently substantially dependent on completion of development, regulatory approval and successful commercialisation of L-Dex[®] for secondary lymphoedema in all key markets in a timely manner.

(o) Litigation

There has been substantial litigation and other proceedings in the biotechnology and medical device industries.

If ImpediMed was forced to defend litigation or other third party claims, it could be costly, time consuming and divert management’s attention from the business. This could lead to delays in ImpediMed’s development or commercialisation efforts.

If third parties are successful in their claims, ImpediMed might have to pay substantial damages or take other actions that are adverse to the ImpediMed business.

page 11

(p) Resources

The loss of services of one or more of members of key personnel or the inability to recruit and retain high calibre staff could delay or compromise the successful commercialisation of products.

To achieve its commercialisation goals, ImpediMed may need to increase the number of employees and consultants, and it may experience difficulties in managing growth.

(q) Capital requirements

ImpediMed may require substantial additional funds which may be dilutive or that may not be available to ImpediMed on favourable terms, or at all.

If ImpediMed is unable to obtain additional funds when required, ImpediMed may be forced to:

  • (i) delay;

  • (ii) reduce the scope of; or

  • (iii) eliminate,

one or more clinical trials, research and development programs or future commercialisation efforts.

(r) General economic factors

Material adverse changes in the general domestic and international economic climate may have an adverse effect on ImpediMed’s performance. These factors may include fluctuations in foreign exchange rates (ImpediMed has no formal hedge policy although it does business in many countries and most overheads are denominated in US dollars), inflation, interest rates, rate of economic growth, taxation laws, consumer spending, unemployment rates, government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies and consumer and business sentiment. Any of these factors have the potential to cause costs to increase or revenues to decline.

(s) Dividends

ImpediMed has never paid a dividend and does not intend on paying dividends in the foreseeable future which means that holders of Shares may not receive any return on their investment from dividends.
