QUARTERLY SHAREHOLDER UPDATE

October 2011

Imugene Limited (ASX Code: IMU) specialises in the development and commercialisation of novel animal health products for pigs and poultry. Our range of products under development includes vaccines to prevent important livestock diseases and productivity enhancers to improve the economics of raising commercial livestock.

Imugene finished the 30 September 2011 quarter with $1.96 million in cash reserves, as detailed in the Appendix 4C released today.

Global License Agreement

In October 2010, Imugene secured a global licensing deal with a leading international animal health company, for the commercialisation of the vaccines and productivity enhancers in our portfolio. The agreement gave the licencee exclusive global rights to all of Imugene’s technology and intellectual property, including its vaccines and productivity enhancers. In September, the license agreement was unexpectedly terminated by the licensee. No reason was provided other than the termination was the result of an internal decision. The license termination became effective from the end of September 2011. Imugene will now undertake a review of the technology based on information and data we expect to receive back from the licensee.

Under the license agreement, the licensee is required to return all information gathered, all trial data and all materials that relate to our technology. To date only small amount of preliminary data has been received. The Imugene scientific team requires further information and awaits the return of further documentation and results. Once the information transfer is completed, we will be in a position to review the Imugene portfolio and determine the next steps for Imugene. We anticipate receiving further data and results during November 2011 and aim to complete the review during the current quarter, at which time we hope to be able to update shareholders on the future of the technology.

Imugene Laboratory Work Program

Work in our laboratory at La Trobe University in Melbourne is nearing completion, with the successful finalisation of the laboratory phase of the PRRS vaccine development. Other work completed included updating all of our pig vaccines to incorporate the recent product improvements through the entire range of our vaccines. This work involved incorporating the new improvement made to the Porcine Adenoviral Vector platform, which results in the virus vaccine growing to much higher concentrations.

Final versions of several vaccines to cover viral strain variations, such as different influenza strains, were also completed, expanding the range of available vaccines. With the completion of the laboratory work program, the laboratory facility at La Trobe University in Melbourne will be closed down at the end of October 2011.

About Imugene

Imugene Limited (ASX:IMU) specialises in the development of animal health products for pigs and poultry, including vaccines and productivity enhancers.

These biologically-based vaccines:

  • Improve the health and welfare of pigs and poultry

  • Reduce or eliminate the use of antibiotics, chemicals and drugs, and;

  • Result in economic gains for the industries that use them.

Imugene's product portfolio targets a worldwide US$3 billion animal health market and contains vaccines at each stage of the development process.

Constructed using Imugene’s patented Porcine and Fowl Adenoviral Vector Delivery Systems, these vaccines address some of the major diseases and health issues threatening pig and poultry production worldwide, such as Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS), which causes losses of up to US$1 billion every year.
