No person may give any information or make a representation about the Offer, which is not in this Prospectus. Information or representations not in this Prospectus must not be relied on as authorised by the Company, or any other person, in connection with the Offer. This Prospectus provides information for investors to decide if they wish to invest in Imugene. Read this document in its entirety. Examine the assumptions underlying the risk factors that could affect the financial performance of Imugene. Consider these factors carefully in light of your personal financial circumstances. Seek professional advice from your accountant, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser before deciding whether to invest. The Offer does not take into account the investment objectives, financial situation or needs of particular investors.
Transaction Specific Prospectus
This Prospectus is a transaction specific prospectus for an offer of continuously quoted securities and options to acquire continuously quoted securities (as defined in the Corporations Act) and has been prepared in accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act. It does not contain the same level of disclosure as an initial public offering prospectus. In making representations in this Prospectus regard has been had to the fact that the Company is a disclosing entity for the purposes of the Corporations Act and certain matters may reasonably be expected to be known to investors and professional advisers that potential investors may consult.
Risk Factors
Potential investors should be aware that subscribing for, or exercising (as the case may be) New Securities involves a number of risks. The key risk factors of which investors should be aware of are set out in Section 6. These risks together with other general risks applicable to all investments in listed securities not specifically referred to, may affect the value of the New Securities in the future. Accordingly, an investment in the Company should be considered highly speculative. Potential investors should consider consulting their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for New Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.
Australian and New Zealand residents only
The New Shares and New Options to be issued under the SPP Offer under this Prospectus are only available to Australian and New Zealand residents having a registered address in those jurisdictions. The distribution of this Prospectus in respect of the SPP Offer in jurisdictions outside Australia or New Zealand may be restricted by law. Seek advice on and observe any restrictions. This Prospectus is not an offer in any place where, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make the offer.
Foreign selling restrictions
No action has been taken to register or qualify the New Securities or the Offers in any jurisdiction outside Australia, or otherwise to permit a public offering of the New Securities outside Australia.
The Prospectus does not constitute an offer or invitation in any jurisdiction where, or to any person to whom, the offer or invitation would be unlawful. The distribution of this Prospectus in jurisdictions outside Australia may be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of this Prospectus should observe any of those restrictions, including those set forth in Section 4.12 (being, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Singapore).

In particular, this Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities in the United States. The New Securities (including the underlying ordinary shares) have not been, and will not be registered under the US Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United States except in transactions exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements under the US Securities Ac and any applicable US state securities laws.
Share Purchase Plan
In certain circumstances, a listed company may undertake a share purchase plan in accordance with ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 (Class Order). This Class Order allows a share purchase plan to be conducted without the use of a prospectus once in any consecutive 12-month period. The circumstances do not apply to the New Shares because of the terms of the offer. Accordingly, the Company is undertaking the SPP under this Prospectus.

17
All Shares issued on exercise of the New Options will rank equally with the Shares on issue at the date of this Prospectus. Refer to Section 8.2 for further details regarding the rights and liabilities attaching to Shares.
4.2 Purpose of this Prospectus
This Prospectus has been issued to:
-
(a) facilitate secondary trading of the New Shares to be issued under the Offers. A prospectus is required under the Corporations Act to enable persons who are issued those New Shares to on-sell those New Shares within 12 months of their issue. The Company will not issue the New Shares with the purpose of the persons to whom they are issued selling or transferring those New Shares, or granting, issuing or transferring interests in those New Shares, within 12 months of the issue, but this Prospectus provides them the ability to do so should they wish;
-
(b) in certain circumstances, a listed company may undertake a share purchase plan in accordance with ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 ( Class Order ). This Class Order allows a share purchase plan to be conducted without the use of a prospectus once in any consecutive 12-month period. The circumstances do not apply to the New Shares to be issued under the SPP because of the terms of the offer, including because of the price at which the New Shares under the SPP will be offered. The Company is unable to rely on the Class Order for the New Options because the New Options to be issued under the SPP are a new class of securities not currently quoted on the ASX. Accordingly, the Company is undertaking the SPP under this Prospectus; and
-
(c) facilitate secondary trading of the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Options, SAR Notes and Warrants to be issued under the Offers. Issuing the new Options, SAR Notes and Warrants under this Prospectus will enable persons who are issued the New Options to on-sell the Shares issued on exercise of the New Options pursuant to ASIC Corporations (Sale Offers That Do Not Need Disclosure) Instrument 2016/80.
Accordingly, the purpose of this Prospectus is to:
-
(a) make the Offers;
-
(b) ensure that the on-sale of New Shares does not breach section 707(3) of the Corporations Act; and
-
(c) ensure that the on-sale of the underlying Shares to be issued upon the exercise of the New Options is in accordance with ASIC Corporations (Sale Offers That Do Not Need Disclosure) Instrument 2016/8.

4.11 Important Information for New Zealand investors
These Offers to New Zealand investors are regulated offers made under Australian and New Zealand law. In Australia, this is Chapter 8 of the Corporations Act and regulations made under that Act.

These Offers and the content of the offer document are principally governed by Australian rather than New Zealand law. In the main, the Corporations Act and the regulations made under the Corporation Act set out how the offer must be made.
There are differences in how financial products are regulated under Australian law. For example, the disclosure of fees for managed investment schemes is different under the Australian regime.
The rights, remedies, and compensation arrangements available to New Zealand investors in Australian financial products may differ from the rights, remedies, and compensation arrangements for New Zealand financial products.
Both the Australian and New Zealand financial markets regulators have enforcement responsibilities in relation to this offer. If you need to make a complaint about this offer, please contact the Financial Markets Authority, New Zealand (http://www.fma.govt.nz).

The taxation treatment of Australian financial products is not the same as for New Zealand financial products.
If you are uncertain about whether this investment is appropriate for you, you should seek the advice of an appropriately qualified financial adviser.
These Offers may involve a currency exchange risk. The currency for the financial products is not New Zealand dollars. The value of the financial products will go up or down according to changes in the exchange rate between that currency and New Zealand dollars. These changes may be significant.
If you expect the financial products to pay any amounts in a currency that is not New Zealand dollars, you may incur significant fees in having the funds credited to a bank account in New Zealand in New Zealand dollars.
If the financial products are able to be traded on a financial product market and you wish to trade the financial products through that market, you will have to make arrangements for a participant in that market to sell the financial products on your behalf. If the financial product market does not operate in New Zealand, the way in which the market operates, the regulation of participants in that market, and the information available to you about the financial products and trading may differ from financial product markets that operate in New Zealand.

7 Risk factors
7.1 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.
7.2 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 and successfully commercialise those products. There is no guarantee that Imugene’s products 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 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
3447-2513-9017v9 | Prospectus
29
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 its portfolio and platform technology, 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 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 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
3447-2513-9017v9 | Prospectus
30
partner, it would be required to develop and commercialise potential products at its own expense. This may place significant demands on the Company’s internal resources and potentially delay the commercialisation of its 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.

7.3 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 New 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.
7.4
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’
3447-2513-9017v9 | Prospectus
32
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.
8 Material agreements
8.1 Key documents
The Board considers that certain agreements relating to Imugene are significant to the Offer, the operations of Imugene or may be relevant to investors. A description of material agreements or arrangements, together with a summary of the more important details of each of these agreements is set out below.
8.2 Constitution
The following is a summary of the major provisions of the Company’s constitution:
Shares
The Directors are entitled to issue and cancel Shares in the capital of Imugene, grant Options over unissued Shares and settle the manner in which fractions of a Share are to be dealt with. The Directors may decide the persons to whom, and the terms on which, Shares are issued or Options are granted as well as the rights and restrictions that attach to those Shares or Options.
The Constitution also permits the issue of preference shares on terms determined by the Directors.
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 three-quarters 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.
3447-2513-9017v9 | Prospectus
33
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.
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.
3447-2513-9017v9 | Prospectus
34
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.
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 reelection 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.
3447-2513-9017v9 | Prospectus
35
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.
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.

Payments to Directors
The constitution of Imugene provides that the Directors may be paid, as remuneration for their services, a sum set from time to time by the Shareholders in general meeting, with that sum to be divided among the Directors as they agree.
The maximum aggregate amount which has been approved by the Shareholders for payment to the Directors is $1 million per annum. The current Executive director fees are $260,100 per annum for the Chairman and USD$40,000 per annum for each of the non-executive Directors, excluding Committee fees.
9.12 Expenses of the Offers
The total estimated expenses of the Offers payable by the Company including ASX and ASIC fees, accounting fees, legal fees, Share Registry fees, printing costs, public relations costs and other miscellaneous expenses are estimated to be $1.2 million.
9.13 CHESS
The Company participates in the Clearing House Electronic Sub-register System ( CHESS ), operated by ASX Settlement (a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX), in accordance with the Listing Rules and ASX Settlement Rules.
Under CHESS, the Company does not issue certificates to the holders of Securities. Instead, the Company provides holders with a Holding Statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out the number of New Securities allotted and issued to them under this Prospectus.
This Holding Statement also advises investors of either their Holder Identification Number (HIN) in the case of a holding on the CHESS sub-register or Security Holder Reference Number (SRN) in the case of a holding on the issuer sponsored sub-register.
A Holding Statement is routinely sent to holders at the end of any calendar month during which their holding changes. A holder may request a statement at any other time; however, a charge may be incurred for additional statements.
9.14 Taxation implications
The Directors do not consider that it is appropriate to give potential Applicants advice regarding the taxation consequences of applying for New Securities under this Prospectus, as it is not possible to provide a comprehensive summary of the possible taxation positions for potential Applicants.
Neither the Company nor any of its advisers or officers accept any responsibility or liability for any taxation consequences to potential Applicants in relation to the Offers. Potential Applicants should, therefore, consult their own tax adviser in connection with the taxation implications of the Offers.
