ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

SUCCESSFUL A$8.8 MILLION PLACEMENT AND ANNOUNCEMENT OF SHARE PURCHASE PLAN

Brisbane, Australia - ImpediMed Limited (ASX:IPD) (“ ImpediMed ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to announce that it has received binding commitments for a significantly oversubscribed placement of shares with domestic and international institutional investors and sophisticated investors (the “ Placement ”). The Placement, which was strongly supported by both existing and new shareholders, is for approximately 45.3 million shares at A$0.195 per share, raising approximately A$8.8 million.

The Placement price of A$0.195 per share represents an 11.4% discount to ImpediMed’s closing share price on 25 March 2014 and a 13.5% discount to the five day VWAP to 25 March 2014.

Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited acted as the sole Lead Manager and Bookrunner to the Placement.

ImpediMed is also pleased to announce that, following the issue of shares under the Placement, ImpediMed will offer each eligible shareholder the opportunity to subscribe for up to A$15,000 in ImpediMed shares under a Share Purchase Plan (“ SPP ”) at the same price of A$0.195 per share offered under the Placement to raise up to A$3.0 million. If ImpediMed receives valid applications exceeding A$3.0 million under the SPP, ImpediMed intends to scale back applications. Further details about the SPP are set out below.

Proceeds from the Placement and SPP will primarily be used for 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. The Company also intends to use the proceeds towards sponsoring post-clearance clinical trials (including trials previously announced), new product development and general working capital.

“We are very pleased with the strong support from both existing and new shareholders for this Placement which we see as a strong endorsement of the numerous achievements of the Company over the past 18 months. We are particularly excited to have the opportunity to now accelerate the sales and marketing of our L-Dex system in the US lymphoedema market following the recent acceptance of the CPT Category I code submission by the American Medical Association,” said ImpediMed President and CEO Richard Carreon.

Participation in the SPP is open to all holders of ImpediMed shares with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand as at 7.00 pm (Sydney time) on 27 March 2014 (“ Eligible Shareholders ”).
