Ordinary business
Financial statements and reports
-
1 The Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Corporations Act ) requires that the report of the directors, the auditor’s report and the financial report be laid before the annual general meeting. In addition the Company’s constitution provides for these reports to be received and considered at the meeting.
-
2 Apart from the matters involving remuneration which are required to be voted upon, neither the Corporations Act nor the Company’s constitution requires a vote of shareholders at the annual general meeting on the financial statements and reports.
-
3 Shareholders will be given reasonable opportunity at the meeting to raise questions and make comments on these reports.
-
4 In addition to asking questions at the meeting, shareholders may address written questions to the chairman about the management of the Company or to the Company’s auditor, Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd, if the question is relevant to:
-
(a) the content of the auditor’s report; or
-
(b) the conduct of its audit of the annual financial report to be considered at the meeting.
Note: Under section 250PA(1) Corporations Act a shareholder must submit the question to the Company no later than the fifth business day before the day on which the AGM is held.
- 5 Written questions for the auditor must be delivered by Tuesday, 7 November 2017. Please send any written questions for Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd to the Company’s registered office.
Resolution 1: Directors’ remuneration report
-
6 The Corporations Act requires that the section of the directors’ report dealing with the remuneration of each member of the KMP of the Company ( Remuneration Report ) be put to the vote of shareholders for adoption.
-
7 The resolution of shareholders is advisory only and not binding on the Company.
-
8 The Remuneration Report is in the Annual Report. It is also available on the Company’s website (www.imugene.com) on the Annual Reports page under Investor Centre. It:
-
(a) explains the board’s policies on the nature and level of remuneration paid to directors, company secretaries and senior executives of Imugene group;
-
(b) discusses the link between the board’s policies and the Company’s performance;
-
(c) sets out the remuneration details for each director and for each member of the Company’s senior executive management team; and
-
(d) makes clear that the basis for remunerating non-executive directors is distinct from the basis for remunerating executives, including executive directors.

==> picture [104 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
-
9 The chairman will give shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or to make comments on, the Remuneration Report.
-
10 The Remuneration Report presented in 2016 failed to receive more than the requisite 75% support from Shareholders. The views of shareholders, as expressed at the 2016 Annual General Meeting, have been taken into consideration. The Board believes the Remuneration of the Company’s key management personnel (KMP) is appropriate and in line with market rates for a listed company of its size and scale of operations.
-
11 The Board is committed to ensuring that the remuneration structure for senior executives is closely aligned to the strategy and business objectives of the Imugene group, with a focus on driving a performance culture and delivering results that are acceptable to Shareholders. It is the Board’s objective to deliver a Remuneration Report which shows how the financial rewards for senior executives are aligned with the Company’s short term and long term performance.
-
12 Members should note that, whilst the vote on this resolution is advisory only, if at least 25% of the votes cast are against Resolution 1, the Company will receive a ‘second strike’. If the Company receives two ‘strikes’, it is required to put a resolution to the meeting to determine whether the Company’s Directors who were in office at the time the resolution to approve the Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2017 was passed will need to stand for re-election at a further general meeting.
-
13 As a result, this Notice of meeting includes a conditional resolution in Resolution 5. The operation and consequences of Resolution 5 are set out below in the explanatory notes to Resolution 5.
Directors’ recommendation
- 14 As the resolution relates to matters including the remuneration of the directors, the directors abstain from making a recommendation on this resolution as a matter of corporate governance and in accordance with the spirit of section 250R(4) of the Corporations Act.
Re-election of directors
Resolution 2: Re-election of Charles Walker
-
15 In accordance with article 6.3(c) of the Constitution, Charles Walker, a director appointed by the Company on 15 October 2015, retires at the close of this annual general meeting and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election under article 6.3(f) of the Constitution.
-
16 Charles has broad and successful experience across many aspects of the biotechnology and life sciences industry. His experience includes significant operational and leadership experience, a strong capital markets track record from executing nearly 50 international fundraisings both as principal and advisor, as well as a detailed scientific understanding gained from his technical background in pharmacology. Mr Walker was previously CEO and former CFO of Alchemia (ASX:ACL).

Directors’ recommendation

Special business
Resolution 3: Approval of issue of options to a director: Dr Axel Hoos
-
18 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.
-
19 In accordance with existing incentive arrangements, the Company proposes to issue 10,000,000 options to Dr Axel Hoos, a non-executive director of the Company.
-
20 The board has formed the view that the issue of options to Dr Hoos does not require shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act, as the issue of the options constitutes ‘reasonable remuneration’ in accordance with section 211 of the Corporations Act.
-
21 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 |

(e) An option automatically lapses without any claim against the Company on the occurrence of any of the following events: a. upon the bankruptcy, liquidation or winding up of an Optionholder or the happening of any other event that results in the Optionholder being deprived of the legal or beneficial ownership of the Option; or |

Resolution 4: Additional capacity to issue shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
-
23 ASX Listing Rule 7.1 allows the Company to issue a maximum of 15% of its capital in any 12month 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.
-
24 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. |
Page 10 of 16
==> picture [104 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
| Date by which the Company may issue the securities |
The period 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. |
|---|---|
| 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. |

27 The table below shows the dilution of existing shareholders on the basis of the current market price of shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable “A” calculated under the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this notice.
-
28 The table shows two examples where variable “A” has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable “A” is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require shareholder approval (for example, a pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future shareholders’ meeting.

33 Resolution 5 will be considered as an ordinary resolution, which means that, to be passed, the resolution requires the approval of a simple majority of the votes cast by or on behalf of shareholders entitled to vote on the matter.
-
34 At the 2016 annual general meeting, more than 25% of the votes cast on the resolution to adopt the 2016 remuneration report were cast against the resolution. If at least 25% of the votes on Resolution 1 are against adopting the Remuneration Report at this year’s Annual general meeting and this resolution 1 is passed, then the Company must hold a further general meeting within 90 days after the Annual General Meeting to consider the composition of the Board.
-
35 Specifically, if Resolution 5 is put to the meeting and passed, all the Company’s Directors who were Directors when the resolution to approve the Directors’ Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2017 was passed, will need to stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting if they wish to continue as Directors. The relevant Directors include Mr Paul Hopper, Mr Charles Walker and Dr Axel Hoos. Following the Spill Meeting, those persons whose reelection as Directors is approved will be Directors of the Company.
Directors’ recommendation
Noting that each Relevant Director has a personal interest in this resolution and, as described above in the voting exclusions, that each Director (or any closely related party of a Director) is excluded from voting their shares on this resolution, the Directors recommend that, if it is put to the meeting, shareholders vote AGAINST Resolution 5.
