1. Letter from the Chairman

2 October 2009

Dear Noteholder,

On behalf of the Board, I invite you to a General Meeting of Noteholders of Virax Holdings Limited ( Virax or the Company ).

The meeting will be held at 2.00pm on Friday, 6 November 2009 at the Quest Beaumont Kew, 7 Studley Park Road, Kew.

The purpose of the meeting is for Noteholders to consider and vote on a proposal to amend the terms of the Company’s Convertible Notes. The principle reason for the proposed amendments is to defer the Company’s impending repayment obligation under the Notes.

When the Convertible Notes were issued in early 2008, the Board was confident that the Company would have received appropriate milestone payments under the Transgene Co-X-Gene™ sub-licence before the current maturity date for the Convertible Notes, which is 31 December 2009. Unfortunately, developments by Transgene S.A. of programs that utilise Co-X-Gene™ through partnering arrangements have not eventuated in accordance with Transgene’s published timelines. Accordingly, the timing and amount of any milestone payment to be received by the Company from Transgene under the Transgene Co-X-Gene™ sublicence is uncertain and dependent upon Transgene concluding partnering transactions in respect of their programs. Whilst it is anticipated that the Company will receive milestone payments under the Transgene Co-X-Gene™ sub-licence during the proposed extended period of the Convertible Notes, the Company may not be in a position to repay the amount due on the Notes by 31 December 2009.

In addition to accommodating the uncertainty surrounding milestone payments under the Transgene Co-XGene™ sub-licence, extending the redemption date of the Convertible Notes will allow the Company’s resources to be better applied towards achieving further developments with the South African clinical trials of VIR201.

The Directors are also keen to encourage Noteholders to convert their holdings into fully paid ordinary shares in the Company, and therefore simultaneously propose to provide Noteholders with the opportunity to obtain a special 25% conversion bonus if they elect to convert their Notes into ordinary shares in the Company prior to 18 December 2009.

The Directors encourage Noteholders to support the proposed amendments to the Company’s Convertible Notes and invite all Noteholders to take advantage of the limited 25% conversion bonus that will be available prior to 18 December 2009 if the amendments are approved.

The Directors strongly recommend that you carefully read the accompanying Information Memorandum in relation to the proposal.

Yours sincerely

2681877/3693419_5

2. Convertible Note Trust Deed and Meetings of Noteholders

2.1 Trust Deed

The Convertible Notes are governed by a Convertible Note Trust Deed dated 17 December 2007 between the Company and the Trustee. A copy of the Trust Deed is available for inspection at the Company’s registered office.

2.2

Terms of Issue

The terms of issue of the Convertible Notes are set out in the Annexures to the Trust Deed. A summary of these terms are set out in Schedule 1 to this Information Memorandum.

2.3 Amendment to Conditions of Issue of Convertible Notes

Clause 43.4 of the Trust Deed provides that a meeting of Noteholders has the power by ordinary resolution to sanction any amendments to the Trust Deed proposed by the Company, and to authorise the Trustee to concur in an execute any Supplemental Deed embodying such amendment.

2.4

Meeting of Noteholders

Clause 39.3 of the Trust Deed provides that the Trustee or the Company may at any time convene a meeting of Noteholders. At least 10 Business Days’ prior written notice must be given to Noteholders specifying the place, day and hour of the meeting and the general nature of the business to be considered.

2.5 Passing of Noteholders Resolutions

Clause 40.2 of the Trust Deed provides that a resolution is duly passed as an ordinary resolution if it is approved at a meeting of Noteholders by being carried by a simple majority of the votes cast by the Noteholders present in person or by proxy or attorney.

A resolution passed at a meeting of Noteholders duly convened and held is binding on all the Noteholders.

2.6 Trustee

The Trustee is not obliged to consider the merits, or otherwise, of the proposed amendments to the Trust Deed and has not done so. Accordingly, the Trustee makes no recommendation as to whether or not Noteholders should vote on the resolution, or how they should vote.

Virax Holdings Limited – Information Memorandum Page 4 © Deacons

2681877/3693419_5

3. Details of the Proposed Resolution

3.1 Summary of the Proposed Resolution

The substance of the resolution set out in the Notice of General Meeting is to provide approval for the Company and the Trustee, by supplemental deed to the Trust Deed, to amend the Conditions of Issue of the Convertible Notes by:

  • extending the Redemption Date and Conversion Period of the Convertible Notes to 31 December 2011;

  • providing a short term incentive for Noteholders to convert their Notes into Shares by amending the current conversion ratio; and

  • proportionately increasing the Redemption Price so that on the extended Redemption Date of 31 December 2011 holders of Convertible Notes will be paid the value of their Notes plus a redemption premium of 40%, a total of 14 cents per Convertible Note.

Under the proposed short term incentive, Noteholders will be given the opportunity to convert their Notes into Shares on the basis of 2 Notes converting into 5 Shares. However, if the VWASP of Shares traded for the 30 days up to and including the date of a valid Conversion Notice is less than 6 cents, Noteholders will be entitled to receive a number of shares equal to 15 cents/VWASP, rounded up, per Convertible Note. This mechanism has been proposed to protect the incentive against adverse share price changes. The short term incentive is proposed to be available until 18 December 2009.

3.2 Advantages of the Proposed Resolution

(1) Extension to Redemption Date

The principle reason for the proposed amendments to the terms of the Company’s Convertible Notes is to defer the impending repayment obligation that the notes currently impose on the Company.

The proposed extension will provide sufficient time for those Noteholders that do not elect to convert their Notes into ordinary shares to be repaid through either:

  • milestone receipts under the Transgene Sub-Licence;

  • the sale of the Transgene Sub-licence;

  • the sale of VIR201; or

  • a future participation in a distribution in specie of the assets of the Company.

(2) Short Term Incentive – 25% Bonus

The short term incentive will provide Noteholders with a limited opportunity to obtain a minimum 25% conversion bonus if they elect to convert their Notes into ordinary shares in the Company prior to 18 December 2009. This conversion bonus could exceed 25% if the Company’s share price exceeds 6 cents per Share.

It is anticipated that the short term incentive will also aid in reducing the Company’s balance sheet debt by encouraging Noteholders to convert their Notes into Shares.

(3)

Increase in Redemption Price

Noteholders who hold their Notes until the extended Redemption Date will receive a proportional increase in the Redemption Price of each Note equivalent to approximately 10% per annum on the original face value of the Note.

Virax Holdings Limited – Information Memorandum Page 5 © Deacons

2681877/3693419_5

3.3 Disadvantages of the Proposed Resolution

The proposed amendments will result in an extension of the Company’s obligation to redeem Convertible Notes from 31 December 2009 to 31 December 2011. Accordingly, Noteholders will not receive their anticipated 12 cent per Note payment on 31 December 2009.

In exchange for the extension of its obligation to redeem Convertible Notes, the Company supports the proposed increase in the redemption price from 12 cents per Note to 14 cents per Note. The 14 cent Redemption Price will be paid in respect of each Note on issue on 31 December 2011.

3.4 Other Amendments

No other changes to the Conditions of Issue or the Trust Deed are proposed. Accordingly, the Convertible Notes will continue to be unsecured and the rights of Noteholders as debtors of the Company will rank pari pasu with other unsecured creditors of the Company. Upon conversion, the Shares issued to Noteholders will rank equally with existing Shares on issue.

4. Working Capital and Going Concern

As is common with most small biotechnology companies engaged in the development of emerging technology, the management of the capital of the Company is focused on maintaining the entity as a going concern whilst maintaining optimal returns for shareholders and other stakeholders.

The Company’s Annual Report for June 2009 was prepared on a going concern basis, which took into account the Company’s assets and liabilities and assumes that future funding will be obtained from either:

  • the receipt of milestone payments pursuant to the Co-X-Gene™ sub-licence with Transgene; or

  • further capital raising.

A copy of the Company’s Annual Report is available on the Company’s website (www.virax.com.au) or by contacting the Company’s registered office on (03) 9854 6230.

The Company’s recent working capital positions were:

Cash Balances Payable Obligations*
30 June 2009 $1,070,630 $153,615
30 September 2009 $856,579 $116,372

* The payable obligations exclude the Convertible Notes and deferred remuneration of Directors and two senior executives.

As at 30 June 2009 the working capital costs of the Company are being maintained at an average of approximately $125,000 per month. The cash payment of Directors’ fees and 25% of the remuneration of two senior executives has been deferred until receipt of the next milestone payment under the Co-X-Gene™ sub-licence with Transgene.

Although Transgene receipts in relation to the Co-X-Gene™ sub-licence is anticipated in the near future, the timings of such payments are uncertain as they depend upon transactional partnering developments by Transgene.

The Directors are closely monitoring the Company’s cash flows, future commitments (including the redemption of the Convertible Notes) and future capital raising requirements. The proposed amendments to the Conditions of Issue of the Convertible Notes are a result of this monitoring.
