4 Risk factors
4.1 Factors influencing success and risk
Introduction
This section identifies the major risks the Board believes are associated with an investment in Imugene.
The Imugene business is subject to risk factors, both specific to its business activities, and risks of a general nature. Individually, or in combination, these might affect the future operating performance of Imugene and the value of an investment in the Company. There can be no guarantee that Imugene will achieve its stated objectives or that any forward looking statements will eventuate. An investment in the Company should be considered in light of relevant risks, both general and specific. Each of the risks set out below could, if it eventuates, have a material adverse impact on Imugene’s operating performance and profits, and the market price of the Shares.
Before deciding to invest in the Company, potential investors should:
-
(a) read the entire Prospectus;
-
(b) consider the assumptions underlying the risk factors that could affect the financial performance of Imugene;
-
(c) review these factors in light of their personal circumstances; and
-
(d) seek professional advice from their accountant, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser before deciding whether to invest.
4.2 Specific investment risks
Products in development and not approved for commercial sale
Imugene’s ability to achieve profitability is dependent on a number of factors, including its ability to complete successful clinical trials, obtain regulatory approval for its products (including those developed from its onCARlytics, CF33 Oncolytic Virus, and B Cell Immunotherapy platforms) and successfully commercialise those products. There is no guarantee that Imugene’s products (including those developed from its onCARlytics, CF33 Oncolytic Virus, and B Cell Immunotherapy platforms) will be commercially successful.
Imugene does not currently generate revenue from product sales and any such revenue is not anticipated in the short to medium term.
There are many reasons why initially promising products fail to be successfully commercialised. For example, clinical trials may be suspended for safety or efficacy reasons (see further below), following development it may prove difficult or impossible to manufacture the products on a large scale, or, during the period of development, competitors (including those with greater resources) may emerge with competing or alternative treatments.
Clinical trial risk
The Company may be unable to secure necessary approvals from regulatory agencies and institutional bodies (clinics and hospitals) to conduct future clinical trials. There is also no assurance that products developed using the Company’s technology will prove to be safe and
| Prospectus
11
efficacious in clinical trials, or that the regulatory approval to manufacture and market its products will be received. Clinical trials might also potentially expose the Company to product liability claims in the event its products in development have unexpected effects on clinical subjects.
Clinical trials undertaken by the Company have many associated risks which may impact the Company’s profitability and future productions and commercial potential. They may prove unsuccessful or non efficacious, impracticable or costly. The clinical trials could be terminated which will likely have a significant adverse affect on the Company, the value of its securities and the future commercial development of HER-Vaxx, PD1-Vaxx, CF33 or any other technology in the pipeline.
Regulatory and reimbursement approvals
The research, development, manufacture, marketing and sale of products using the Company’s technology are subject to varying degrees of regulation by a number of government authorities in Australia and overseas.
Products, including HER-Vaxx, PD1-Vaxx or CF33, developed using the Company’s technology must undergo a comprehensive and highly regulated development and review process before receiving approval for marketing. The process includes the provision of clinical data relating to the quality, safety and efficacy of the products for their proposed use.
Products may also be submitted for reimbursement approval. The availability and timing of that reimbursement approval may have an impact upon the uptake and profitability of products in some jurisdictions.
Furthermore, any of the products utilising the Company’s technology may be shown to be unsafe, non-efficacious, difficult or impossible to manufacture on a large scale, uneconomical to market, compete with superior products marketed by third parties or not be as attractive as alternative treatments.
Commercialisation of products and potential market failure
The Company has not yet commercialised its technology and as yet has no material revenues.
The Company is also dependent on commercially attractive markets remaining available to it during the commercialisation phase and there is a risk that, once developed and ready for sale, commercial sales, to fund sufficient revenues for continued operations and growth, may not be achieved.
Dependence upon key personnel
Imugene depends on the talent and experience of its personnel as its primary asset. There may be a negative impact on Imugene if any of its key personnel leave. It may be difficult to replace them, or to do so in a timely manner or at comparable expense. Additionally, any key personnel of the Company who leave to work for a competitor may adversely impact the Company. Increases in recruitment, wages and contractor costs may adversely impact upon the financial performance of the Company.
Arrangements with third-party collaborators
Imugene may pursue collaborative arrangements with pharmaceutical and life science companies, academic institutions or other partners to complete the development and commercialisation of its products. These collaborators may be asked to assist with funding or performing clinical trials, manufacturing, regulatory approvals or product marketing. There is no
| Prospectus
12
assurance that Imugene will attract and retain appropriate strategic partners or that any such collaborators will perform and meet commercialisation goals. If Imugene is unable to find a partner, it would be required to develop and commercialise HER-Vaxx, PD1-Vaxx or CF33 (and other potential products) at its own expense. This may place significant demands on the Company’s internal resources and potentially delay the commercialisation of HER-Vaxx, PD1Vaxx, CF33 (and other products).
Risk of delay and continuity of operations
Imugene may experience delay in achieving a number of critical milestones, including securing commercial partners, completion of clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approvals, manufacturing, product launch and sales. Any material delays may impact adversely upon the Company, including the timing of any revenues under milestone or sales payments.
Imugene may also experience business continuity problems arising from extreme events. As with most businesses, Imugene is reliant on IT systems in its day-to-day operations. An inability to operate such systems would impact the business. This might result, for example, from a computer virus or other cyber attack or from a physical event at its offices.
Competition
The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are intensely competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. A number of companies, both in Australia and abroad, may be pursuing the development of products that target the same markets that Imugene is targeting.
The Company’s products may compete with existing alternative treatments that are already available to customers. In addition, a number of companies, both in Australia and abroad, may be pursuing the development of products that target the same conditions that the Company is targeting. Some of these companies may have, or develop, technologies superior to the Company’s own technology. The Company may face competition from parties who have substantially greater resources than the Company.
Requirement to raise additional funds
The Company may be required to raise additional equity or debt capital in the future. There is no assurance that it will be able to raise that capital when it is required or, even if available, the terms may be unsatisfactory. If the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining funds when they are required, the Company may need to delay or scale down its operations.
Growth
There is a risk that the Company may be unable to manage its future growth successfully. The ability to hire and retain skilled personnel as outlined above may be a significant obstacle to growth.
Intellectual property
The Company’s ability to leverage its innovation and expertise depends upon its ability to protect its intellectual property and any improvements to it. The intellectual property may not be capable of being legally protected, it may be the subject of unauthorised disclosure or be unlawfully infringed, or the Company may incur substantial costs in asserting or defending its intellectual property rights.

4.3 General investment risks
Investment risks
The price of the Shares might rise or fall and they might trade at prices below or above the Offer Price. There can also be no assurance that an active trading market will exist for the Shares.
Factors affecting the price at which Imugene Shares are traded on ASX could include domestic and international economic conditions. In addition, the prices of a listed entity’s securities are affected by factors that might be unrelated to its operating performance, such as general market sentiment.
Quotation of options
Depending on the level of participation in the Offer, there is a risk that required conditions for the quotation of the New Options may not be satisfied. In which case, the New Options will be issued but will remain unquoted.
Macro economic risks
Imugene’s operating and financial performance is influenced by a variety of general economic and business conditions including the level of inflation, interest rates and government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies. Prolonged deterioration in general economic conditions, including an increase in interest rates, could be expected to have a corresponding adverse impact on the Company’s operating and financial performance.
Taxation risks
Changes to the rate of taxes imposed on Imugene (including in overseas jurisdictions in which Imugene operates now or in the future) or tax legislation generally may affect Imugene and its Shareholders. In addition, an interpretation of Australian tax laws by the Australian Taxation Office that differs to Imugene’s interpretation may lead to an increase in Imugene’s tax liabilities and a reduction in Shareholder returns.
Personal tax liabilities are the responsibility of each individual investor. Imugene is not responsible either for tax or tax penalties incurred by investors.
Accounting standards
Australian accounting standards are set by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ( AASB ) and are outside the Directors’ and Imugene’s control. Changes to accounting standards issued by AASB could materially adversely affect the financial performance and position reported in Imugene’s financial statements.
Litigation
There is a risk that the Company may in future be the subject of or required to commence litigation. There is, however, no litigation, mediation, conciliation or administrative proceeding taking place, pending or threatened against the Company.
4.4
Cautionary statement
Statements in this Prospectus may be forward looking statements.
Forward looking statements can be identified by the use of forward looking terminology such as, but not limited to, ‘may’, ‘will’, ‘expect’, ‘anticipate’, ‘estimate’, ‘would be’, ‘believe’, or ‘continue’
| Prospectus
14
or the negative or other variations of comparable terminology. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. The Directors’ expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and are believed to have a reasonable basis. They are based on, among other sources, the examination of historical operating trends, data in the Company’s records and other data available from third parties. There can be no assurance, however, that the Directors’ expectations, beliefs or projections will give the results projected in the forward looking statements. Investors should not place undue reliance on these forward looking statements.
Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward looking statements are discussed earlier in this section.

Imugene may also sell a Share that is part of an unmarketable parcel of shares under the procedure set out in the constitution.
Variation of class rights
The rights attached to any class of Shares may, unless their terms of issue state otherwise, only be varied with the consent in writing of members holding at least threequarters of the Shares of that class, or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of Shares of that class.
Restricted securities
If the ASX classifies any of Imugene’s share capital as restricted securities, then the restricted securities must not be disposed of during the escrow period and Imugene must refuse to acknowledge a disposal of the restricted securities during the escrow period, except as permitted under the Listing Rules or by the ASX.
Share certificates
Subject to the requirements of the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules, Imugene need not issue share certificates if the Directors so decide.
Calls
The Directors may, from time to time, call upon Shareholders for unpaid monies on their shares. The Directors must give Shareholders notice of a call at least 10 business days before the amount called is due, specifying the time and place of payment. If a call is made, Shareholders are liable to pay the amount of each call by the time and at the place specified.
| Prospectus
16
A call is taken to have been made when a Directors’ resolution passing the call is made or on any later date fixed by the Board. A call may be revoked or postponed at the discretion of the Directors.
Forfeiture and lien
Imugene may forfeit Shares to cover any call, or other amount payable in respect of Shares, which remains unpaid following any notice to that effect sent to a Shareholder. Forfeited Shares become the property of Imugene and the Directors may sell, reissue or otherwise dispose of the Shares as they think fit.
A person whose Shares have been forfeited may still be required to pay Imugene all calls and other amounts owing in respect of the forfeited Shares (including interest) if the Directors so determine.
Imugene has a first and paramount lien for unpaid calls, instalments and related interest and any amount it is legally required to pay in relation to a Shareholder’s Shares. The lien extends to all distributions relating to the Shares, including dividends.
Imugene’s lien over Shares will be released if it registers a transfer of the Shares without giving the transferee notice of its claim.
Share transfers
Shares may be transferred by any method permitted by the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules or by a written transfer in any usual form or in any other form approved by the Directors. The Directors may refuse to register a transfer of Shares where it is not in registrable form, Imugene has a lien over any of the Shares to be transferred or where it is permitted to do so by the Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules.
General meetings
Each Shareholder, Director and auditor is entitled to receive notice of and attend any general meeting of Imugene. Two Shareholders must be present to constitute a quorum for a general meeting and no business may be transacted at any meeting except the election of a chair and the adjournment of the meeting, unless a quorum is present when the meeting proceeds to business.
Voting rights
Subject to any rights or restrictions attached to any Shares or class of shares, on a show of hands each Shareholder present has one vote and, on a poll, one vote for each fully paid Share held, and for each partly paid Share, a fraction of a vote equivalent to the proportion to which the Share has been paid up. Voting may be in person or by proxy, attorney or representative.
Remuneration of Directors
Each Director is entitled to remuneration from Imugene for his or her services as decided by the Directors but the total amount provided to all Directors for their services as Directors must not exceed in aggregate in any financial year the amount fixed by Imugene in general meeting. The remuneration of a Director (who is not the managing Director or an executive Director) must not include a commission on, or a percentage of, profits or operating revenue.
| Prospectus
17
Remuneration may be provided in the manner that the Directors decide. There is also provision for Directors to be paid additional remuneration (as resolved by the Directors) or provide benefits if they perform extra or special services, including being a member on a committee of Directors or the chairman of Directors or deputy chairman of Directors.
Directors are also entitled to be paid all travelling and other expenses they incur in attending to Imugene’s affairs, including attending and returning from general meetings or Board meetings, or meetings of any committee engaged in Imugene’s business.
Interests of Directors
A Director who has a material personal interest in a matter that is being considered by the Board must not be present at a meeting while the matter is being considered nor vote on the matter, unless the Corporations Act allows otherwise (however the Director may, subject to the Corporations Act, be counted in a quorum for, and vote at, a meeting of Directors considering the contract or arrangement).
Election and retirement of Directors
There must be a minimum of three Directors and a maximum of ten Directors unless Imugene in general meeting resolves otherwise.
Where required by the Corporations Act or Listing Rules, Imugene must hold an election of directors each year. No Director, other than the managing director, may hold office without re-election beyond the third annual general meeting following the meeting at which the Director was last elected or re-elected. A Director appointed to fill a casual vacancy, who is not a managing Director, holds office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting following his or her appointment. If there would otherwise not be a vacancy, and no Director is required to retire, then the director who has been longest in office since last being elected must retire.
If a number of Directors were elected on the same day, the Directors to retire is (in default of agreement between them) determined by ballot.
Dividends
If the Directors determine that a final or interim dividend is payable, it is (subject to the terms of issue on any Shares or class of Shares) paid on all Shares proportionate to the amount for the time being paid on each Share. Dividends may be paid by cash, electronic transfer or any other method as the Board determines.
The Directors have the power to capitalise and distribute the whole or part of the amount from time to time standing to the credit of any reserve account or otherwise available for distribution to Shareholders. The capitalisation and distribution must be in the same proportions which the Shareholders would be entitled to receive if distributed by way of a dividend.
Subject to the Listing Rules, the Directors may pay dividends as the directors resolve but only out of the profits of Imugene.
Indemnities and insurance
Imugene must indemnify current and past Directors and other executive officers ( Officers ) of Imugene on a full indemnity basis and to the fullest extent permitted by law against all liabilities incurred by the Officer as a result of their holding office in Imugene or a related body corporate.
| Prospectus
18
Imugene may also, to the extent permitted by law, purchase and maintain insurance, or pay or agree to pay a premium for insurance, for each Officer against any liability incurred by the Officer as a result of their holding office in Imugene or a related body corporate.
