Explanatory Memorandum
Imugene Limited ACN 009 179 551 ( Company )
This Explanatory Memorandum accompanies the notice of Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company to be held at The Prom, Automic Group, Level 12, 530 Collins Street, Melbourne VIC 3000 and online by Zoom on Thursday, 28 September 2023 at 10.00am (Sydney time).
The Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to assist Shareholders in determining how to vote on the resolutions set out in the Notice of Meeting and is intended to be read in conjunction with the Notice of Meeting.
Background
-
1 As announced to ASX on 18 August 2023, Imugene undertook a $35 million placement with institutional and sophisticated investors ( Placement Subscribers ) for approximately 416.7 million new fully paid ordinary shares ( Placement Shares ) in the Company at a price of $0.084 per Placement Share, representing a discount of 10.64% to the last close on Tuesday, 15 August 2023 ($0.094), and a discount of 12.38% to the 20-day VWAP up to, and including, Tuesday, 15 August 2023 ($0.096) ( Placement ). The Placement Shares were allotted on Friday, 25 August 2023.
-
2 The Placement is being followed by a share purchase plan ( SPP ), to raise approximately $30 million, for existing eligible shareholders ( Eligible Shareholders ) at a price per new fully paid ordinary share of the lower of:
-
(a) $0.084; and
-
(b) a 2.5% discount to the five-day VWAP up to and including the closing date of the SPP, being Thursday, 14 September 2023 (unless varied by the Company).
-
3 Under the Placement and SPP (together, Offer ), Placement Subscribers and Eligible Shareholders are anticipated to receive one free attaching option for every new share ( New Options ) subscribed for under the Offer, for an aggregate of approximately 773.8 million New Options to be issued. The New Options will have an exercise price of $0.118 per share with an expiration of 31 August 2026 and are subject to shareholder approval. It is intended that the New Options will be quoted on the ASX. The terms of the options are otherwise set out in the Schedule to this Notice of Meeting.
-
4 The funds raised from the Offer will be used:
-
(a) to make the upfront payment of US$8 million to Precision Biosciences Inc. (NASDAQ GS: DTIL) in accordance with terms of the licence agreement entered into between the Company and Precisions Biosciences Inc. on 16 August 2023 ( Licence Agreement );
-
(b) to meet the deferred consideration and milestone payment obligations under the Licence Agreement, including for the completion of the Phase 1b clinical trial for the licensed Azer-cel Allogeneic CD19 Car-T technology; and
-
(c) for associated manufacturing, clinical trial, regulatory and working capital costs relating to the Licence Agreement.
70935218v6 | Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting
1
- 5 Further details in relation to the Licence Agreement can be found in the announcement dated 16 August 2023.
Resolution 1: Ratification of prior issue of Placement Shares to Placement Subscribers
- 6 The purpose of Resolution 1 is for Shareholders to approve, under Listing Rule 7.4, and for all other purposes, the issue and allotment of up to 411,220,239 Placement Shares to the Placement Subscribers on the terms set out in the Explanatory Memorandum.
Listing Rule 7.1
-
7 Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
-
8 The issue of up to 411,220,239 Placement Shares does not fall under any of the relevant exemptions and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, utilises a portion of the 15% capacity limit under Listing Rule 7.1, thereby reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval for the 12-month period following the issue date.
-
9 Listing Rule 7.4 provides that 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.
-
10 The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional Equity Securities into the future without having to obtain shareholder approval for such issuance under Listing Rule 7.1. Resolution 1 therefore proposes the ratification of the allotment and issuance of the Placement Shares for the purpose of satisfying the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
-
11 If Resolution 1 is passed, Shareholders will have ratified the issue of the Placement Shares, and the issue of the Placement Shares will no longer utilise a portion of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1, meaning that the Company will have an increased ability to issue Equity Securities over the next 12 months without seeking Shareholder approval.
-
12 If Shareholders do not approve Resolution 1, the Company’s ability to raise additional equity funds over the next 12 months without Shareholder approval will be restricted.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.5
-
13 Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:
-
(a) the Placement Shares, being up to 411,220,239 fully paid ordinary shares, have been issued to the Placement Subscribers;
-
(b) the Placement Shares were issued on or about 25 August 2023 at an issue price of $0.084 per share; and
-
14 The funds raised from the Offer will be used as described in paragraph 4.

Directors’ recommendation
15 The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.
Resolutions 2(a) to 7(b): Approval to issue Placement Shares and New Options to Directors
- 16 The Placement Shares and New Options have been allocated to the Directors as follows:
| Director | Allocation of Placement Shares |
Allocation of New Options |
|---|---|---|

| Mr Jakob Dupont | 89,286 | 89,286 |
| Mr Paul Hopper | 2,380,952 | 2,380,952 |
| Ms Kim Drapkin | 119,048 | 119,048 |
| Total Placement Shares | 5,446,428 | 5,446,428 |
Shareholder approval requirements
-
17 Listing Rule 10.11 provides, that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies an entity must not issue or agree to issue securities to any of the following persons unless it obtains the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities:
-
10.11.1 a related party;
-
10.11.2 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the entity;
-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the entity and who has nominated a director to the board of the entity pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
10.11.4 an associate of a person referred to in rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3;
-
10.11.5 a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by security holders.
-
10.11.3 a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the entity and who has nominated a director to the board of the entity pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;
-
18 For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11, the issue of Placement Shares and New Options to each of the Directors falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and therefore requires the approval of Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.
-
19 Resolutions 2(a) to 7(b) therefore seek the required Shareholder approval for the issue of Placement Shares and New Options to each of the Directors listed above under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolution 8: Approval to issue New Options to Placement Subscribers and Eligible Shareholders
-
34 The purpose of Resolution 8 is for Shareholders to approve, under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and for all other purposes, the issue of up to approximately 768,320,239 New Options with an exercise price of $0.118 per Option and an expiry date of 31 August 2026.
-
35 As described above in Resolution 1, subject to a number of exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of Equity Securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its Shareholders over any 12-month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities it had on issue at the start of that period.
-
36 The issue of the New Options does not fall under any of the relevant exemptions. Resolution 8 therefore proposes the approval of the granting of the New Options for the purpose of satisfying the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
-
37 If Resolution 8 is approved and the New Options are issued, Listing Rule 7.2 (exception 9) applies to the issue of Shares on the conversion of the New Options and such issuance shall not count towards the Company’s placement capacity.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 14.1A
-
38 If Resolution 8 is passed, the New Options will be issued with Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 and the New Options will not utilise a portion of the Company’s 15% placement capacity, meaning the Company will have an increased ability to issue Equity Securities over the next 12 months without seeking Shareholder approval.
-
39 If Shareholders do not approve Resolution 8, the issuance will still occur but will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
Technical information required by Listing Rule 7.3
-
40 Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 8:
-
(a) the securities are to be allotted to the Placement Subscribers and Eligible Shareholders;
-
(b) the maximum number of securities to be issued is 768,320,239 New Options;
-
(c) the New Options are excepted to be issued within five business days of the Meeting but in any event, not more than three months after Shareholder approval;
-
(d) the issue price for the New Options is nil;
-
(e) the New Option terms are further set out in the Schedule;
-
(f) The New Options are being issued for nil upfront consideration and, therefore, do not raise funds for the Company. Any funds raised from the exercise of the New Options will be used for the purposes outlined in paragraph 4 above.
Directors’ Recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of this resolution.
