Resolution 4: Approval of issue of shares under a capital raising

-
28 The Company is seeking shareholder approval so that the issue of the first two tranches of these Shares, for which Mr Walker has achieved the necessary hurdles pursuant to his employment agreement, do not count towards the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 7: Approval of issue of shares to a director: Mr Otto Buttula
-
31 Under ASX Listing Rule 10.11, shareholder approval is required for the issue of equity securities to a related party of a listed company. Once approval is obtained pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11, the Company is entitled to rely on Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 14 as an exception to any requirement that may otherwise apply requiring shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.
-
32 It is proposed that shares be issued to Mr Otto Buttula as part of any capital raising conducted by the Company.
-
33 The board has formed the view that the issue of shares to Mr Buttula does not require shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act, as Mr Buttula will participate in the capital raising at arms length on the same terms and at the same price as all non-related participants in any capital raising.
-
34 In compliance with the information requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.13, shareholders are advised of the following particulars on the allotment and issue:
| Maximum number of securities to be issued |
The number of shares, calculated at the issue price, up to a value of $150,000. |
|---|---|
| Date of issue | The shares will be issued within one month of the date of the AGM. |
| Issue price per security | The price will be no less than 80% of the volume weighted average market price for ordinary shares in the Company, calculated over the last 5 days on which sales in the shares were recorded before the day on which the issue is made. |
| Terms of issue | The shares will rank equally with all existing shares on issue. |
| Persons to whom securities will be issued | Mr Otto Buttula, a director of the Company, or his nominee. |
| Intended use of funds | Working capital and development and commercialisation of the Company’s HER-Vaxx cancer immunotherapies. |

Resolution 8: Additional capacity to issue shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
-
36 ASX Listing Rule 7.1 allows the Company to issue a maximum of 15% of its capital in any 12 month period without requiring shareholder approval. Under new ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, eligible entities (companies that are outside the S&P/ASX 300 index and have a market capitalisation of $300 million or less) can issue a further 10% of share capital in 12 months on a non-pro rata basis. The Company is an eligible entity as at the date of this notice of meeting and must remain compliant with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A to be able to utilise the additional capacity to issue shares under that Listing Rule.
-
37 Additional disclosure obligations are imposed when the special resolution is proposed, when securities are issued and when any further approval is sought. For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3A the Company provides the following information:
| Minimum price at which the equity securities may be issued |
The issue price of each share must be no less than 75% of the volume weighted average price for the shares calculated over the 15 trading days on which trades in that class where recorded immediately before: (a) the date on which the price, at which the securities are to be issued, is agreed; or (b) if the securities are not issued within five trading days of the date in paragraph (a), the date on which the securities are issued. |
|---|---|
| Risk of economic and voting dilution |
An issue of shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A involves the risk of economic and voting dilution for existing ordinary security holders. The risks include: (a) the market price for shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A; and (b) the equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the shares on the issue date. Under ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.2, a table describing the notional possible dilution, based upon various assumptions as stated, is set out below. |
| Date by which the Company may issue the securities |
Theperiod commencing on the date of the annual general meeting (to which this notice relates) at which approval is obtained and expiring on the first to occur of the following: (a) the date which is 12 months after the date of the annual general meeting at which approval is obtained; and (b) the date of the approval by holders of the Company’s ordinary securities of a transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 or 11.2. The approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will cease to be valid if holders of the Company’s ordinary securities approve a transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 or 11.2. |

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
==> picture [111 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
| Purposes for which the equity securities may be issued, including whether the Company may issue them for non-cash consideration |
It is the board’s current intention that any funds raised under an issue of securities will be applied towards the commercialisation of the Company’s lead product HER-Vaxx. This would principally include: (a) research and development; (b) regulatory and reimbursement approvals; (c) maintenance of intellectual property; and (d) staff and office costs, audit and compliance expenses, and ASX fees. The Company reserves the right to issue shares for non-cash consideration, including for payment of service or consultancy fees and costs. |
|---|---|
| Details of the Company’s allocation policy for issues under approval |
The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. The identity of the allottees will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to factors including but not limited to the following: (a) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company including, but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate; (b) the effect of the issue of the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A shares on the control of the Company; (c) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and (d) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable). The allottees under the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A facility have not been determined as at the date of this notice of meeting but may include existing substantial shareholders and new shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company. Further, if the Company is successful in its acquisitive growth strategy as outlined above, it is likely that the allottees under the ASX Listing Rule 7.1A facility will be or include the vendors of the relevant target company or companies. |
| Previous approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A |
Approval was previously obtained at the Company’s last annual general meeting on 20 November 2013. |

Current Variable A refers to the current number of shares on issue as the date of preparing this notice of meeting (9 October 2014).
-
43 The table has been prepared on the assumptions set out below.
-
(a) The Company issues the maximum number of shares available under the 10% ASX Listing Rule 7.1A approval.
-
(b) No options are exercised to convert into shares before the date of the issue of the shares available under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
-
(c) The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
-
(d) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular shareholder by reason of share issue under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, based on that shareholder’s holding at the date of the meeting.
-
(e) The table shows only the effect of issues of equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
(f) The issue of shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A consists only of ordinary shares in the Company.
-
(g) The issue price is $0.013, being the closing price of the shares on ASX on 9 October 2014.
-
44 As resolution 8 is a special resolution it must be passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution.
Directors’ recommendation
