Dear Shareholder
Offer of Shares under Share Purchase Plan
On behalf of the Board of Directors of ImpediMed Limited ( ImpediMed ), I am pleased to offer you the opportunity to participate in the ImpediMed Share Purchase Plan ( SPP ) which was announced on Wednesday, 27 October 2021. The SPP provides eligible holders of fully paid ordinary shares in ImpediMed ( Shares ) the opportunity to apply for up to $30,000 of new Shares ( SPP Shares ), without paying any brokerage, commissions or other transaction costs.
The SPP aims to raise up to approximately $5 million and is not underwritten. ImpediMed may decide to accept applications (in whole or part) that result in the SPP raising more or less than this amount, in its absolute discretion. Should any scale back be necessary, it is ImpediMed’s intention that any scale back arrangements will be made having regard to the pro rata shareholdings of Eligible Shareholders who apply for SPP Shares. The SPP follows ImpediMed’s placement to sophisticated and institutional investors, which raised approximately $35 million ( Placement ).
The SPP Shares are being offered at an Issue Price of $0.1525.
ImpediMed intends to use the proceeds of the Placement and SPP (net of costs and expenses) for:
-
general working capital that is sufficient for ImpediMed to achieve breakeven, including advance inventory purchases to address growth, current global chip shortages, COVID-19 related supply chain issues and transition to SOZO II;
-
product enhancement of the SOZO II digital health platform, including weight scales and improved electronics for renal and heart failure;
-
data and software enhancements including corporate account development such as electronic health record integration and heart failure programs; and
-
the development and commercialisation of renal failure application, including end stage renal disease clinical trial and US FDA clearance.
Who is eligible to participate?
Participation in the SPP is optional. To be eligible to participate in the SPP, you must have been a registered holder of Shares at 7.00pm (AEDT) on Tuesday, 26 October 2021, and have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand. The SPP is also being extended to Eligible Shareholders who are Custodians to participate in the SPP on behalf of certain Eligible Beneficiaries on the terms and conditions set out in this Booklet.
Shareholders in the United States are not eligible to participate in the SPP. Persons (including Custodians, trustees and nominees) who hold Shares on behalf of persons residing outside Australia or New Zealand, or who are in the United States, or who are acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States, are not entitled to participate in the SPP on behalf of those persons.
Once issued, SPP Shares will rank equally with existing Shares. The terms and conditions of the SPP are provided in this Booklet. I encourage you to read these materials in their entirety and seek your own financial and taxation advice in relation to the SPP, before you decide whether to participate.

Please refer to the ASX announcement on Wednesday, 27 October 2021 for further details.
3 Am I an Eligible Shareholder?
All holders of Shares as at the Record Date with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand ( Eligible Shareholders ) are eligible to participate in the SPP.
The SPP is also being extended to Eligible Shareholders who are Custodians to participate in the SPP on behalf of Eligible Beneficiaries on the terms and conditions provided in this Booklet (see section 3 of the SPP Rules).
Shareholders in the United States are not eligible to participate in the SPP. Persons (including Custodians, trustees and nominees) who hold Shares on behalf of persons residing outside Australia or New Zealand or who are in the United States, or who are acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States, are not entitled to participate in the SPP on behalf of those persons.
4 Do I have to participate in the SPP?
Participation in the SPP is optional. If you do not wish to participate, then you are not required to take any further action.

No. You cannot transfer your right under this offer to purchase SPP Shares to anyone else.
6 What is the Issue Price?
The Issue Price per SPP Share is $0.1525 per Share.
7 How much can I invest and how many SPP Shares will I receive?
Eligible Shareholders may apply for SPP Shares in parcels valued at $1,000, $2,500, $5,000, $7,500, $10,000, $12,500, $15,000, $20,000, $25,000 or $30,000.
The number of SPP Shares issued to an applicant will be rounded down to the nearest whole number after dividing the application monies by the Issue Price, subject to any
3
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES
scale back applied in accordance with this Booklet. The balance of any application money that is not applied to acquire SPP Shares (as a result of rounding or scale back) will be refunded to you without interest unless the amount is less than $2.00.
Where ImpediMed decides to apply a scale back, it is ImpediMed’s intention that any scale back arrangements will be made having regard to the pro rata shareholdings of Eligible Shareholders who apply for SPP Shares. If this happens you may be issued SPP Shares to a value that is less than the value of SPP Shares you applied for and the difference will be refunded to you (without interest) in accordance with this Booklet.
8 What costs are associated with the SPP?
No brokerage, commissions or other transaction costs are payable by Eligible Shareholders in relation to the application for, and the issue of, SPP Shares.
9 What risks are associated with investing under the SPP?
You should note that if you apply to participate in the SPP, you are accepting the risk that the market price of Shares may rise or fall between the date of this Booklet and the time of issue of SPP Shares under the SPP. This means that the price you pay for the SPP Shares issued to you may be less than or more than the market price of Shares at the date of this Booklet or the time of issue. Your application is unconditional and may not be withdrawn even if the market price of Shares changes after you lodge your application.
There are also a number of other risks associated with an investment in SPP Shares. Further details about these risks and ImpediMed generally are included in the ‘Risk Factors’ section of the ImpediMed’s investor presentation released to the ASX on Wednesday, 27 October 2021, which you are encouraged to read.
ImpediMed is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Act and, as a result, is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under the Act and the ASX Listing Rules. Copies of ImpediMed ASX announcements can be found on the ASX website at www.asx.com.au (ASX code: IPD).
10 What do I do if I receive more than one Application Form?
Eligible Shareholders who receive more than one Application Form under the SPP or who are able to participate in the SPP as an Eligible Beneficiary of an eligible Custodian (e.g. where an Eligible Shareholder holds Shares in more than one capacity), may apply on different Application Forms for SPP Shares, however the total aggregate amount that is applied for must not exceed $30,000.
11 How do I apply?

Please ensure that your payment for the appropriate amount is received by the Registry before 5.00pm (AEDT) on Thursday, 11 November 2021.

==> picture [14 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
- ImpediMed considers that the Application (whether alone or in conjunction with other Applications) does not comply, or it is not reasonably satisfied that the Application (whether alone or in conjunction with other Applications) complies, with the requirements of ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 (as otherwise amended, replaced or supplemented) or any other requirements in the ASX Listing Rules or the Act;
