EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

1. ANNUAL REPORT

The business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the Company’s Annual Financial Report, the Directors’ Report and the Auditor’s Report for the year ended 30 June 2018, which are included in Noxopharm’s Annual Report.

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the Annual General Meeting to ask questions and make comments on the Annual Report, and on the management of Noxopharm.

The Company’s auditor will be present by phone at the Meeting. During the discussion of this item, the auditor will be available to answer questions on the:

  • Conduct of the audit;

  • Preparation and content of the auditor’s report;

  • Accounting policies adopted by the company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements; and

  • Independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.

Written questions for the Auditor

If you would like to submit a written question about the content of the Auditor’s Report or the conduct of the audit of the Annual Financial Report to the Company’s auditor, please send your question to the Company Secretary. A list of qualifying questions will be made available at the Meeting.

Please note that all written questions must be received at least five business days before the Meeting, which is by Tuesday, 13 November 2018.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

The Remuneration Report is set out in the Annual Report. The Remuneration Report details the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company.

S250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires that a resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report be put to the vote of the Company. Shareholders should note that the vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and not binding on the Company or its Directors.

However, under the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are against the adoption of the Remuneration Report then:

  • If comments are made on the Remuneration Report at the Meeting, Noxopharm’s 2019 Remuneration Report will be required to include an explanation of the Board’s proposed action in response or, if no action is proposed, the Board’s reasons for this; and

  • If, at next year’s AGM, at least 25% of the votes cast on the resolution for adoption of the 2019 Remuneration Report are against it, Noxopharm will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing that an Extraordinary General Meeting ( EGM ) be called to consider the election of Directors ( Spill Resolution ). If the Spill Resolution is passed (i.e. more than 50% of

7

the votes cast are in favour of it), all of the Directors (other than the Managing Director) will cease to hold office at the subsequent EGM, unless re-elected at that Meeting.

Last year, a resolution was passed to adopt the 2017 Remuneration Report, with in excess of 75% of votes cast in favour of the resolution on a show of hands (noting that in excess of 75% of proxies lodged were also in favour of the resolution).

In accordance with the Corporations Act, Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the Annual General Meeting to ask questions and make comments on the Remuneration Report.

Board Recommendation: The Remuneration Report forms part of the Directors’ Report, which was approved in accordance with a unanimous resolution of the Board. Each Director recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of adopting the Remuneration Report. The Chairman will vote undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution where permitted.

3. RESOLUTION 2 - RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – DR IAN DIXON

Article 59(1) of the Constitution requires that one third of the Directors (or if their number is not a multiple of three, then the number nearest one third) must retire at each Annual General Meeting. It also provides that a Director who retires under article 59(3) is eligible for re-election. A Managing Director (if any) is exempt from this requirement under article 76(6).

ASX Listing Rule 14.4 requires that a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third Annual General Meeting following the director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is longer.

4. RESOLUTION 3 - APPROVAL OF 10% CAPACITY TO ISSUE EQUITY SECURITIES

ASX Listing Rule 7.1

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 restricts listed companies in relation to the number of equity securities that they can issue or agree to issue without shareholder approval. Generally, a listed company cannot, in any 12-month period, issue a number of equity securities which is more than 15% of their fully paid ordinary shares on issue without shareholder approval ( 15% limit ), unless an exception applies. The Company has not exceeded this 15% limit.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A enables eligible entities to issue equity securities up to 10% of their issued capital through placements over a 12-month period after an annual general meeting. This 10% placement capacity ( 10% limit ) is in addition to the Company’s 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

An eligible entity for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is an entity that is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a market capitalisation of $300 million or less. The Company is an eligible entity.

Shareholder Approval

Shareholder approval is now sought in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.1A to give the Company the ability to issue equity securities under the 10% limit. Resolution 3 must be passed as a Special Resolution, meaning that at least 75 per cent of the votes cast at the AGM must be in favour of Resolution 3.

Current Securities on Issue

As at the date of this Notice, the Company has the following classes and numbers of equity securities on issue:

Duration of Approval of 10% Limit

Shareholder approval of the 10% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A is valid from the date of the annual general meeting at which the approval is obtained and expires on the earlier to occur of:

  • (i) The date that is 12 months after the date of the Annual General Meeting at which the approval is obtained; or

  • (ii) The date of the approval by shareholders of a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking), (the period of approval ).

Formula for Calculation of 10% limit

The exact number of equity securities to be issued under the 10% limit will be determined in accordance with the following formula, which is prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2:

Eligible entities which have obtained shareholder approval at an annual general meeting may issue or agree to issue, during the period of approval, a number of equity securities calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(A x D) – E

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

  • Plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

  • Plus the number of partly paid ordinary shares that became fully paid in the 12 months;

  • Plus the number of fully paid ordinary shares issued in the 12 months with approval of holders of shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or ASX Listing Rule 7.4. This does not include an issue of fully paid ordinary shares under the entity’s 15% limit without shareholder approval;

  • Less the number of fully paid ordinary shares cancelled in the 12 months.

Note that A has the same meaning in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 when calculating an entity’s 15% limit.

  • D is 10%

  • E is the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX 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 ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or ASX Listing Rule 7.4.

ASX Listing Rule 7.3A requires the following information to be provided to Shareholders:

Listing Rule 7.1 and Listing Rule 7.1A

The ability of an entity to issue Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A is in addition to the entity’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

At the date of this Notice, the Company has on issue 121,901,310 shares of which 5,970,714 shares and 3,000,000 options were issued in the last 12 months under Listing Rule 7.1. Therefore the Company has a capacity to issue:

  • (i) 8,418,875 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1.

  • (ii) 11,593,059 Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A.

10

The actual number of Equity Securities that the Company will have capacity to issue under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated at the date of issue of the Equity Securities in accordance with the formula prescribed in Listing Rule 7.1A.2

Specific Information required by Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 7.3A, information is provided in relation to the approval of the 10% Placement Facility as follows:

(a) Minimum Price

The issue price of equity securities issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A must be not less than 75% of the VWAP of the Company’s equity securities in the same class, calculated over the 15 Trading Days immediately before:

  • (i) The date on which the price at which the equity securities are to be issued is agreed; or

  • (ii) If the equity securities are not issued within 5 trading days of the date in paragraph (i) above, the date on which the equity securities are issued.

(b) Risk of Voting Dilution

If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues equity securities under the 10% limit, the existing Shareholders’ voting power in the Company will be diluted as shown in the below table. There is a risk that:

  • (i) The market price for the Company’s equity securities may be significantly lower on the date of the issue of the equity securities than on the date of the Meeting; and

  • (ii) The equity securities may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for the Company’s equity securities on the issue date or the equity securities are issued as part of the consideration for the acquisition of a new asset;

which may have an effect on the amount of funds raised by the issue of the equity securities.

The below table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of Shares for variable ‘A’, calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), as at the date of this Notice.

The table also shows:

  • (i) Two examples where variable ‘A’ has increased, by 50% and 100%. Variable ‘A’ is based on the number of Shares the Company currently has on issue. The number of Shares on issue may increase as a result of issues of Shares 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 ASX Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders’ meeting; and

  • (ii) Two examples of where the issue price of Shares has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

*The number of Shares on issue (Variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1

The above table has been prepared based on there currently being 121,901,310 Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting and the following assumptions:

  • (i) The Company issues the maximum number of equity securities available under the 10% limit. (ii) No Options (including any Options issued under the 10% limit) are exercised into Shares before the date of the issue of equity securities.

  • (iii) 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%.

  • (iv) The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% limit, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting;

  • (v) The table shows only the effect of issue of equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, not under the 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;

  • (vi) The issue of equity securities under the 10% limit consists only of Shares. If the issue of equity securities includes Options, it is assumed that those Options are exercised into Shares for the purpose of calculating the voting dilution effect on existing Shareholders; and

  • (vii) The issue price is $0.60. The closing market price of the Shares on the ASX on 24 September 2018 was $0.64.

(c) Period of Approval

The Company will only issue and allot the equity securities during the period of approval. The approval under Resolution 3 for the issue of the equity securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities) or ASX Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).

(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Limit

The Company may seek to issue the equity securities for the following purposes:

  • (i) non-cash consideration: for purposes which include, but are not limited to, the payment of contractors or consultants, in connection with agreements or for the acquisition of new assets

12

or the settlement of obligations (although the Company has no present intention to do so) (in such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rules);

  • (ii) Cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised to fund product research, development and commercialisation programs, including its front-line drug, NOX66, for the acquisition of new assets, for funding its controlled subsidiary Nyrada Inc and for general working capital.

The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any equity securities.

(e)

Allocation Policy

The Company’s allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% limit. The identity of the allottees of equity securities will be determined on a case by case basis, having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:

  • (i) The purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) The alternative methods for raising funds that are available to the company at the time, including but not limited to, rights issues or other issues in which existing security holders can participate;

  • (iii) The effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the company;

  • (iv) The circumstances of the company, including the financial position and solvency of the company; and

  • (v) Advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if available).

The allottees under the 10% limit have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.

(f) Voting Exclusion Statement

A voting exclusion statement applies to this item of business, as set out in the Notice of Meeting.

At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder to participate in the issue of the equity securities. No existing Shareholder’s votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in this Notice.

(g) Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at the Company’s Annual General Meeting on 27 November 2017.

During the 12 months preceding the date of this Meeting, being from and including 27 November 2017 to and including 21 November 2018, being the date of this Notice of Meeting, (preceding 12-month period) the Company has issued in aggregate the following equity securities:

  • 19,613,214 Shares; and

  • 3,789,470 options.

Those equity securities issued during the preceding 12-month period represent, on a fully diluted basis, 22.88% of the total number of equity securities that were on issue on the first day of the preceding 12-month period.

Further details of the equity securities issued during the preceding 12-month period are set out in Annexure 1.

Board Recommendation: The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of approving the 10% limit. This will enable the Company to have the flexibility to issue further equity securities representing up to 15% of the Company’s share capital under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and an additional 10% of the Company’s share capital under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A during a 12-month period without seeking further Shareholder approval. The Chairman will vote undirected proxies in favour of this Resolution where permitted.

VOTING UNDER STEP 1 - APPOINTING A PROXY

If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, please write the name of that Individual or body corporate. A proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company. Otherwise if you leave this box blank, the Chairman of the Meeting will be appointed as your proxy by default.

DEFAULT TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE MEETING

Any directed proxies that are not voted on a poll at the Meeting will default to the Chairman of the Meeting, who is required to vote these proxies as directed. Any undirected proxies that default to the Chairman of the Meeting will be voted according to the instructions set out in this Proxy Voting Form, including where the Resolutions are connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of KMP

VOTES ON ITEMS OF BUSINESS – PROXY APPOINTMENT

You may direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.

APPOINTMENT OF SECOND PROXY

You may appoint up to two proxies. If you appoint two proxies, you should complete two separate Proxy Voting Forms and specify the percentage or number each proxy may exercise. If you do not specify a percentage or number, each proxy may exercise half the votes. You must return both Proxy Voting Forms together. If you require an additional Proxy Voting Form, contact Automic Registry Services. └

ATTENDING THE MEETING

Completion of a Proxy Voting Form will not prevent individual Shareholders from attending the Meeting in person if they wish.
