Important information for Shareholders

Given the current restriction on gatherings and travel imposed by governments as a consequence of the COVID-19 virus, the Federal Treasurer has made a determination modifying the operation of provisions of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth) under the Corporations (Coronavirus Economic Response) Determination (No. 1) 2020 ( Determination ) to allow companies who are required or permitted to hold meetings to hold those meetings remotely as virtual meetings, instead of in person. No hard copy of the Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum will be circulated, and shareholders will instead be notified of how to access the Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum. As a consequence of this Determination, the Company has adopted the approach for the Meeting set out below.

The Meeting will be held virtually (online) via an online platform detailed below. There will be no physical attendance at the Meeting. This is an important health and safety measure.

Attending the meeting online enables shareholders to view the Annual General Meeting live and to also ask questions and cast direct votes at the appropriate times whilst the meeting is in progress. We recommend logging in to our online platform at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start time for the Meeting.

In accordance with the Determination, each resolution considered at the Meeting will be decided on a poll. As the situation regarding the management of COVID-19 is evolving, Shareholders are encouraged to monitor the Company's website and ASX announcements for any further updates in relation to the arrangements for the Meeting. The Company appreciates the understanding of Shareholders during this difficult time. We look forward to your virtual attendance and participation at the Meeting.

Zoom meeting details

The AGM will be webcast live via an online platform. To participate you will need a desktop or mobile/tablet device with internet access. When you log onto the online platform to register to attend the AGM, you will need to provide your details (including SRN or HIN) to be verified as a Shareholder.

  • 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, if the question is relevant to:

  • 6 The Remuneration Report is contained in the Annual Report. A copy is available on the Company’s website.

  • 7 The Corporations Act requires that the Remuneration Report be put to a vote of Shareholders.

  • 8 The resolution of Shareholders is advisory only and not binding on the Company. The Board will take the discussion at the meeting into consideration when determining the Company’s

6

remuneration policy and appropriately respond to any concerns Shareholders may raise in relation to remuneration issues.

  • 9 The Remuneration Report:

  • (a) reports and explains the remuneration arrangements in place for non-executive Directors, executive Directors and senior management; and

  • (b) explains Board policies in relation to the nature and value of remuneration paid to nonexecutive Directors, executives and senior managers within the Company.

  • 10 The Chairman will give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or to make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

Directors’ Recommendation

  • 11 As the resolution relates to matters including the remuneration of the Directors, the Board, as a matter of corporate governance and in accordance with the spirit of section 250R(4) Corporations Act, makes no recommendation regarding this resolution.

Resolution 2: Re-election of Mr Charles Walker

  • 13 Mr Walker has broad and successful experience across the biotechnology and life sciences industry.

Directors’ Recommendation

  • 15 The Directors (with Mr Walker abstaining), unanimously recommend the appointment Mr Walker to the Board.

Resolution 3: Ratification of previous share issuance

  • 16 On 6 December 2019, and as announced to the ASX on that day, 683,047,981 fully paid ordinary Shares were issued pursuant to the share placement undertaken by the Company to raise additional capital to fund the Company’s existing clinical programs through to mid 2024, including the 2 Oncolytic Virus clinical candidates through completion of Phase 2 study and for working capital purposes.

  • 17 In accordance with Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.4, to restore the Company’s capacity to issue Shares it is proposed that Shareholders ratify the issue of Shares as detailed below.

  • 18 ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (in combination with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A) limits the Company from issuing more than 25% of its issued capital without shareholder approval. Listing Rule 7.4 provides that

7

where a company subsequently approves an issue of securities, the issue will be treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1, thereby replenishing the Company’s 15% capacity, enabling it to issue further securities up to that limit. Listing Rule 7.4 can also be utilised to refresh the Company’s 10% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.

  • 19 If resolution 3 is not approved, the Company’s capacity to raise additional equity funds over the next 12 months without reference to Shareholders will be reduced.

  • 20 The following information is provided in accordance with Listing Rule 7.5:

Number of securities issued 683,047,981 fully paid ordinary shares
Date on which securities were
issued
6 December 2019
Issue price of securities $0.036 per share
Allottees of the securities The Shares were allotted by the Company to
sophisticated investors selected by Bell Potter under a
private share placement.
Terms of securities The Shares, when issued, ranked equally with all other
Shares on issue at the time and had the same rights and
entitlements as the currently issued Shares.
The intended use of the funds To fund the Company’s working capital and the
development and commercialisation of the Company’s B-
cell activating immunotherapies and the Oncolytic
Viroltherapies.

Directors’ recommendation

  • 21 The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

Resolution 4: Adoption of new constitution

Background

  • 22 The Company proposes to put to Shareholders a resolution to repeal and replace the Company’s existing Constitution with the proposed new Constitution ( Replacement Constitution ).

  • 23 The Replacement Constitution will incorporate amendments to the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules since the current Constitution was adopted in 2003.

  • 24 A copy of the Replacement Constitution is set out in Annexure A to this Explanatory Memorandum. The proposed Replacement Constitution is also available for viewing on the Company’s website, www.imugene.com or you can contact the Company Secretary for a copy. A copy of the Replacement Constitution, signed by the Chairman for the purposes of identification, will be tabled at the Annual General Meeting.

  • 25 Under the Corporations Act, a company may elect to either amend parts of its Constitution or replace the entire document. As there have been a number of changes to the Corporations Act and Listing Rules since the adoption of the existing Constitution, the directors consider that it is preferable in the circumstances to repeal the existing document and replace it with the Replacement Constitution rather than to amend and insert specific updates. If this Resolution 4 is passed, the existing Constitution will be repealed in its entirety and replaced with the Replacement Constitution.

8

  • 26 The Replacement Constitution has been approved by ASX and contains a number of changes to the company’s current Constitution, many of which are administrative or relatively minor in nature. A brief overview of the material differences between the current Constitution and the Replacement Constitution is set out in the table below. This overview is not exhaustive and does not identify all of the differences between the existing Constitution and the Replacement Constitution. There have been no fundamental changes to shareholders’ rights, such as the right to vote at a general meeting or to participate in dividends.

  • 27 Shareholders will have an opportunity to ask questions about the Replacement Constitution at the Annual General Meeting or by contacting the Company Secretary in advance of the Annual General Meeting.

Overview of material differences

  • 28 The following table sets out the main differences between the existing Constitution and the proposed Replacement Constitution.
Subject Summary of difference Old rule New
rule
Preference
share rights
The Existing Constitution empowers the Company to issue
preference shares. The Replacement Constitution sets out
the specific rights attaching to any preference shares that
may be issued by the Company, stating that they will confer
on the holder rights including:
(a)
priority for payment of dividends in relation to other
share classes;
(b)
participation in distribution of surplus assets and
profits;
(c)
priority for payment of capital and dividends in relation
to other share classes in a winding up and on
redemption; and
(d)
voting (limited voting rights compared to ordinary
shares).
2.2 2.2
Restricted
securities
The Replacement Constitution introduces new provisions
which govern any restricted securities (as defined in the
Listing Rules) that the Company may have on issue from
time to time. This includes an obligation on a holder of
restricted securities not to dispose of, or agree or offer to
dispose of, the securities during the escrow period applicable
to those securities except as permitted by the Listing Rules
or the ASX.
N/A 2.5
Notice of a
call
The Existing Constitution provided 10 Business Days notice
of a call, whereas the new Constitution requires a minimum
of 30 Business Days. The Replacement Constitution has
removed the provision that a call is valid despite a Member
not receiving a notice, or the Company not issuing a call.
Schedule
2 rule
2.2
5.3
Sale, reissue
or other
disposal of
shares by the
Company
The Replacement Constitution is substantively similar, but
now provides that rule 9 does not apply to the sale of an
unmarketable parcel. The Replacement Constitution also
provides that any unclaimed proceeds may be invested by
Schedule
2 rule 6

rule
the Directors, and that the company is not required to pay
interest on money payable to a former holder.
Unmarketable
parcels
The Replacement Constitution provides that the company
cannot sell an unmarketable parcel if the member provides
written notice they wish to keep the parcel. The Replacement
Constitution provides that the sale of shares includes
dividends.
Schedule
4 rule 1
13
Direct voting The Replacement Constitution gives the board the power to
permit members to vote ‘directly’ on resolutions determined
by poll at a general meeting. This is an alternative to
members having to appoint proxies or representatives to
vote on their behalf as permitted by the existing constitution.
The provisions do not require direct voting at all general
meetings but allow the directors to implement direct voting
for any particular meeting in their discretion.
N/A 18
Hybrid
meetings
The Replacement Constitution permits general meetings to
take place both physically and electronically. In particular,
the Replacement Constitution provides that, if a separate
meeting place is linked to the main place of a general
meeting by an instantaneous audio-visual communication
device which, by itself or in conjunction with other
arrangements:
(a)
gives the general body of members in the separate
meeting place a reasonable opportunity to participate
in proceedings in the main place;
(b)
enables the chairman to be aware of proceedings in
the other place; and
(c)
enables the members in the separate meeting place to
vote on a show of hands or on a poll,
a member present at the separate meeting place is taken to
be present at the general meeting and entitled to exercise all
rights as if he or she was present at the main place.
N/A 16.6
Number and
appointment
of directors
The Replacement Constitution increases the maximum
number of directors from 10 to 12 directors. The minimum
number is unchanged at three.
6.1 19.1
Directors
interests
The Replacement Constitution makes the following
amendments:
(a)
includes the reference to a director not being
disqualified by virtue of being a member or creditor;
(b)
ensures that no act is invalid or voidable because a
person fails to comply with a regulation made under
19.7 of the Replacement Constitution; and
(c)
states that a director with a material personal interest
must not be present on vote at a meeting unless
permitted by the Corporations Act;
6.6 19.7

10

Subject Summary of difference Old rule New
rule
(d)
removes the 3 Business Day time limit for a Director to
notify the company of a Notifiable Interest change, or
appointment or removal of director.
Retirement of
Directors
The Existing Constitution contains an out-of-date provision
which requires one third of directors to retire each year. The
Replacement Constitution, consistent with Listing Rule 14.4,
provides that a director must not hold office (without re-
election) past the third AGM following the director’s
appointment
6.3 19.3
Proportional
takeover bids
The Replacement Constitution provides that a transfer giving
effect to a contract resulting from the acceptance of an offer
made under a proportional takeover bid must not be
registered unless an approving resolution has been passed or
is taken to have been passed in accordance with the terms of
the constitution. These rules cease to have effect on the
third anniversary of the later of the date of adoption or last
renewal of this rule under the Corporations Act.
N/A 15
Company
secretary
This provision contains no operational changes. 7.2 23.2
Dividends The Replacement Constitution includes a number of changes
to broaden the methods by which the Company may pay
dividends to shareholders. Most of these changes have been
made to reflect amendments to the Corporations Act which
mean companies are no longer restricted to paying dividends
out of profits.
10 25
Reinvestment
of dividends
The Replacement Constitution contains more detailed terms
which enable the directors, subject to the Listing Rules, to
permit the members or any class of members to:
(a)
reinvest cash dividends by subscribing for shares or
other securities in the Company or a related body
corporate; and
(b)
forgo the right to receive cash dividends and receive
instead some other form of distribution of entitlement
(including securities), on any terms the directors think
fit.
10.9 25.9
Inspection of
records
The Replacement Constitution provides that, except as
provided by law, the constitution or as authorised by a
directors’ resolution, a person who is not a director does not
have the right to inspect any of the board papers, books,
records or documents of the Company. It also allows the
Company to enter into contracts, and procure that its
subsidiaries enter into contracts, on any terms the directors
think fit, to grant a director or former director continuing
access for a specified period after the director ceases to be a
director to board papers, books, records and documents of
the Company which relate to the period during which the
director or former director was a director of the Company.
N/A 29

11

Subject Summary of difference Old rule New
rule
Service of
notices
The Replacement Constitution broadens the service of
notices.
Where a member does not have a registered address or
where the Company believes that member is not known at
the member’s registered address, all notices are taken to be:
(a)
given to the member if the notice is exhibited in the
Company’s registered office for a period of 48 hours;
and
(b)
served at the commencement of that period,
unless and until the member informs the Company of the
member’s address.
11.1 31.1
When notice
deemed to be
served
The Replacement Constitution has removed the rule relating
to notices sent by post to residences outside Australia, and
now specifies that all notices sent by post are taken to be
given one day after its posting.
11.4 31.2
Indemnity for
employees
The Replacement Constitution broadens the scope of
indemnity, and:
(a)
expands the indemnity to auditors or former auditors if
the directors determine;
(b)
ensures the indemnity does not operate where the
Liability is covered by insurance; and
(c)
the indemnity is enforceable without the Officer having
to first incur any expense or make any payment.
7.3 24

Special resolution

  • 29 Under section 136(2) of the Corporations Act, the resolution to adopt the Replacement Constitution must be passed as a special resolution of Shareholders.

Directors’ recommendation

  • 30 The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

Resolution 5: Approval of additional 10% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A

  • 31 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. In accordance with the Listing Rule 7.1A, eligible entities (companies that are outside the S&P/ASX 300 index and that also have a market capitalisation of $300 million or less) can issue a further 10% of the Company’s share capital over a 12 month period following the Annual General Meeting (provided Shareholder approval is obtained at the Annual General Meeting) on a non-pro rata basis.

  • 32 The Company falls within the eligibility criteria required by Listing Rule 7.1A.

  • 33 The number of shares that may be issued (if Shareholder approval is obtained at the Annual General Meeting) will be determined in accordance with the following formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2:

(A x D) – E

12

A is the number of fully paid shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:

  • (A) plus the number of fully paid shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in Listing Rule 7.2 (other than 9, 16 or 17);

  • (B) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • (C) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months on the conversion of convertible securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 9 where:

  • (I) the convertible securities were issued or agreed to be issued before the commencement of the 12 months; or

  • (II) the issue of, or agreement or issue, the convertible securities was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • (D) plus the number of partly paid Shares issued in the 12 months under an agreement to issue securities within Listing Rule 7.2 exception 16 where:

  • (I) the agreement was entered into before the commencement of the 12 months; or

  • (II) the agreement or issue was approved, or taken under these rules to have been approved, under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4;

  • (E) plus the number of partly paid Shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • (F) plus the number of fully paid Shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid Shares under the entity's 15% placement capacity without Shareholder approval; and

  • (G) less the number of fully paid Shares cancelled in the 12 months.

D is 10%.

  • E is the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of the issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

  • 34 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 Listing Rule 7.3A the Company provides the following information:

13

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 were recorded immediately before:
(d)
the date on which the price at which the securities are to be issued is
agreed; or
(e)
if the securities are not issued within 10 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 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 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.
In accordance with 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

Information under Listing Rule 7.3A.2

  • 37 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 in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A.2 as at the date of this Notice.

  • 38 The table also shows:

  • (a) 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 Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and

  • (b) two examples of where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

*Note: Current Variable A refers to the calculation required by Listing Rule 7.1A.2 which, in the Company’s case, equates to the current issued share capital of the Company.

  • 39 The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:

  • (a) the Company issues the maximum number of Shares available under the 10% 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 Listing Rule 7.1A;

16

  • (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 a share issue under Listing Rule 7.1A, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Annual General Meeting;

  • (e) the table shows only the effect of issues of equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1;

  • (f) the issue of Shares under Listing Rule 7.1A consists only of Shares; and

  • (g) the issue price is $0.055, being the closing price of the shares on ASX on 16 October 2020.

  • 40 As at the date of the Notice of Meeting, the Company has on issue 4,497,723,544 Shares. Subject to Shareholder approval being obtained for Resolution 5, the Company will have capacity to issue the following equity securities as at the date of the Annual General Meeting:

  • (a) 674,658,532 Shares (under Listing Rule 7.1); and

  • (b) 449,772,354 Shares (under Listing Rule 7.1A).[1]

  • 41 Listing Rule 7.1A requires Resolution 5 to be passed as a special resolution. A special resolution needs approval by at least 75% of the votes cast by members entitled to vote on the resolution.

  • 42 If resolution 5 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities up to the combined 25% limit in Listing Rules 7.1 (15%) and 7.1A (10%) without any further Shareholder approval.

  • 43 If Resolution 5 is not passed, the Company will not be able to access the additional 10% capacity to issue Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1A, and will remain subject to the 15% limit on issuing Equity Securities without Shareholder approval set out in Listing Rule 7.1.

Directors’ recommendation

  • 44 The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

Resolution 6: Approval of amended ESOP

  • 45 A key foundation of the Company’s equity incentive program is the Company’s Employee Share Option Plan ( ESOP ).

  • 46 The ESOP is designed to:

  • (a) align employee incentives with shareholders’ interests;

  • (b) assist employee attraction and retention; and

  • (c) encourage share ownership by employees.

  • 47 The ESOP was last adopted at the Company’s 2019 annual general meeting.

1 The actual number of Shares the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A may vary and will be determined at the date of issue in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as illustrated in the table above).

17

  • 48 The ESOP currently requires the exercise price for any options issued under the plan to be an amount determined at the discretion of the board equal to or greater than the market price of the Company’s Shares on the grant date. The ESOP has been amended so that options are able to be exercised for nil consideration to be determined at the discretion of the board. All remaining provisions of the ESOP remain unchanged.

  • 49 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. Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13, an issue under an employee incentive plan will not count toward a company’s 15% limit provided the plan was approved by shareholders within three years before the date of the securities being issued. Given the amendments that have been made to the plan, approval is therefore sought in respect of the amended ESOP under that rule.

  • 50 For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 exception 13:

  • (a) no securities have been issued to date under the amended ESOP. However, 30,000,000 securities have been issued under the ESOP since it was last adopted at the Company’s 2019 annual general meeting; and

  • (b) the maximum number of securities proposed to be issued under the amended ESOP within the three-year period from the date of the passing of this resolution is 224,886,177. This number is not intended to be a prediction of the actual number of securities to be issued by the Company, simply a ceiling for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)).

  • 51 A copy of the amended ESOP is set out in Annexure B to this Explanatory Memorandum.

  • 52 If resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to issue Equity Securities under the amended ESOP without affecting the Company’s ability to issue securities under the Company’s placement capacity without Shareholder approval. If resolution 6 is not passed, any Securities issued under the ESOP would need to be issued under the Company’s 15% placement capacity which effectively decreases the number of Equity Securities it can issue without obtaining Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.

Directors’ recommendation

  • 53 The Directors abstain, in the interest of good corporate governance, from making a recommendation in relation to this resolution.

No offer may be made to an Eligible Participant and no Shares may be issued or transferred to a Participant for the purposes of the Plan if to do so would cause the Company to contravene the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules (if applicable) or any other applicable securities law.

3 ELIGIBILITY

The Board may in its absolute discretion:

  • a) Declare that an employee or executive of an Employer Company is an Eligible Employee; and

Page 7 of 15

5 OFFER

5.1 Offer to participate

The Board may, from time to time, at its absolute discretion, make an Offer (in such form as the Board decides from time to time) to:

  • a) Eligible Employees; and/or;

Other persons who the Board has declared to be eligible, inviting applications for the number of Options specified in the Offer.

5.2 Information about Options

In respect of each Offer, the Board must advise each person to whom the Offer is made under rule 5.1 of the following information relevant to an Option that may be granted under the Plan, namely:

  • a) Any Exercise Price or Cashless Exercise Facility;

  • b) The designated Exercise Period;

  • c) The number of Shares for which the Participant will be entitled to subscribe upon the exercise of the Option;

  • d) The Closing Date;

  • e) The Expiry Date; and

  • f) Any designated Exercise Condition.

6 EXERCISE PRICE

The Exercise Price (if any) of Options issued pursuant to the Plan will be determined at the discretion of the Board and specified in the Offer.

6.1 Cashless exercise

  • a) The Board may determine (in its discretion) and specify in an Offer that in exercising the Options, a Participant may elect to pay the Exercise Price by use of a cashless exercise facility. Where a cashless exercise facility is permitted, Options may be exercised by the Participating by either:

  • i. paying the total Exercise Price of all Options being exercised; or

Page 8 of 15

  • ii. by use of the cashless exercise facility described below.

  • b) The Cashless Exercise Facility entitles a Participant to set-off the Exercise Price against the number of Shares which the Participant is entitled to receive upon exercise of the Participant’s Options ( Cashless Exercise Facility ). By using the Cashless Exercise Facility, the Participant will receive Shares to the value of the surplus after the Exercise Price has been set-off. If a Participant elects to use the Cashless Exercise Facility, the Participant will only be issued that number of Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) as are equal in value to the difference between the total Exercise Price otherwise payable for the Options on the Options being exercised and the then market value of the Shares at the time of exercise (determined as the volume weighted average prices at which Shares were traded on the ASX over the one week period immediately preceding the exercise date) which is to be calculated in accordance with the following:

S = O x (MSP – EP)

MSP

Where:

S = Number of Shares to be issued on exercise of the Options.

O = Number of Options.

MSP = Market value of the Shares (calculated using the volume weighted average prices at which Shares were traded on the ASX over the one week period immediately preceding the exercise date).

EP = Option exercise price.

7 MARKET PRICE

During the Exercise Period, the Board will, make available to the Eligible Employee, the Market Price of Shares in the same class as those offered subject to the Options, within a reasonable time of the Eligible Employee making such a request.

All payments made pursuant to this rule shall be made by cheque, bank draft or postal order made out in favour of the Company.

The Exercise Price applicable to each Share shall be reduced in accordance with the Listing Rules.

12.3 Adjustment for Bonus Issue

In the event of a Bonus Issue of Shares being made pro-rata to ordinary shareholders (other than issue in lieu of dividends), the number of Shares over which an Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which the Option Holder would have received if the Option had been exercised before the record date for the Bonus Issue. No adjustment will be made to the exercise price per share of the Option.

Page 12 of 15

12.4 Subdivision or consolidation

12.6 Other reconstruction

If there occurs any other reconstruction of the capital of the Company affecting issued Shares, the Shares comprised in the Option and the Exercise Price applicable to each such Share will be reconstructed (as appropriate) in a manner which will not result in any benefits being conferred to the Participant which are not conferred on holders of issued Shares, and (subject to the provisions of that reconstruction with respect to rounding of entitlements as sanctioned by the meeting of shareholders approving the reconstruction of capital) in all other respects the terms of the Options shall remain unchanged.

12.7 No additional Rights
