INFORMATION REGARDING PROXIES AND VOTING

Appointing a proxy

  • A Noteholder of the Company entitled to attend and vote at the General Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy.

  • A proxy need not be a Noteholder or Shareholder of the Company. A Noteholder can appoint an individual or body corporate as a proxy. If a body corporate is appointed as a proxy, that body corporate must ensure that it appoints a corporate representative in accordance with Section 250D of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) to exercise its power as proxy at the meeting.

  • A Noteholder who is entitled to cast 2 or more votes may appoint 2 proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If the Noteholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the Noteholder’s votes each proxy may exercise, then each proxy may exercise one half of the Noteholder’s votes (disregarding fractions).

  • A proxy form must be signed by the Noteholder or his or her attorney. In the case of companies, which are Noteholders, the proxy form may be signed by 2 directors, or a director and a company secretary, or where the company has a sole director, who is also the sole company secretary, by that director.

  • If a Noteholder leaves the proxy form blank as to the person primarily appointed as proxy or marks the box provided on the proxy form or if the person named as proxy fails to attend, the Chairman of the meeting is appointed as proxy. The Chairman intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of each resolution.

  • It is permissible to forward your proxy form by facsimile.

  • A proxy appointment form is enclosed with this Notice of Meeting. To be valid, the form appointing the proxy and the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed (or a certified copy thereof) must be lodged with the Company, or received by fax, at least 48 hours before the time of the meeting, i.e. by 2.00pm, Wednesday 28 December 2011 at the following address:

Voting on a Show of Hands and Votes Per Note

On a show of hands, each person present as a Noteholder, proxy, attorney or representative has one vote and, where a resolution is to be decided by a poll, each Noteholder is entitled to one vote for each Convertible Note held.

Appointment of a Representative by a Body Corporate Noteholder

A body corporate Noteholder may, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, appoint an individual as a representative to exercise all or any of the powers the body corporate may exercise at meetings of Noteholders of the Company.

Virax Holdings Limited – Information Memorandum 6 December 2011 Page 2

Letter from the Chairman

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, 30 December 2011 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 current 31 December 2011 repayment obligation thereby allowing the Company additional time to undertake a Corporate Transaction and Capital Raising which is critical to the Company’s ongoing solvency.

The immediate matter requiring attention is the Redemption Date for the Convertible Notes, being 31 December 2011. Without a change to the Redemption Date of the Convertible Notes the Company will become insolvent.

The Company has been endeavouring to undertake a Corporate Transaction that upon completion would allow the Company to remain solvent and implement its development plans. It is anticipated that any Corporate Transaction aimed at raising capital and introducing a new project to the Company will require the terms and conditions of the Convertible Notes to be amended in addition to the Redemption Date. When a Corporate Transaction is finalised, it is therefore expected that Noteholder and Shareholder approvals will be required to implement that transaction.

At this time developments in respect to a Corporate Transaction are on-going. Once the details of the Corporate Transaction have been finalised they will be announced.

When the Convertible Notes were issued in early 2008 and subsequently amended in November 2009, the Company was anticipating the receipt of sufficient net moneys from the Transgene Co-X-Gene™ sub-licence as a means to enable the Company to redeem the Notes.

To date, the developments by Transgene S.A. of the programs that utilise Co-X-Gene™ and associated partnering arrangements have not eventuated to an extent that would enable the redemption of the Convertible Notes to occur on 31 December 2011.

The timing and amount of any milestone payment to be received from Transgene under the Transgene CoX-Gene™ sub-licence is uncertain and dependent upon Transgene concluding transactions and receipts in respect of their programs. Whilst it is anticipated that the Company may receive milestone payments under the Transgene Co-X-Gene™ sub-licence of up to $9 million during the term of the Co-X-Gene sub-licence, the Company does not currently anticipate being able to repay the amount due on the Convertible Notes by 31 December 2011.

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

Yours sincerely

Michael J Humphris Chairman Virax Holdings Limited

Virax Holdings Limited – Information Memorandum 6 December 2011 Page 3

1. Convertible Note Trust Deed and Meetings of Noteholders

1.1 Trust Deed

The Convertible Notes are governed by a Convertible Note Trust Deed dated 17 December 2007 and the Supplemental Trust Deed of 3 December 2009 between the Company and the Trustee. A copy of the Trust Deed and the Supplemental Trust Deed are available for inspection at the Company’s registered office.

1.2 Terms of Issue

The terms of issue of the Convertible Notes are set out in the Annexures to the Trust Deed (as amended by the Supplemental Trust Deed of 3 December 2009). A summary of these terms are set out in Schedule 1 to this Information Memorandum.

1.3 Amendment to Conditions of Issue of Convertible Notes

Clause 43.2 of the Trust Deed provides that the Trustee and the Company may with the approval of an ordinary resolution passed by Noteholders under clause 43.4, by supplemental deed, amend the Trust Deed in such manner and to such extent as the Trustee and the Company agree.

1.4

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.

1.5 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.

1.6 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.

2. Details of the Proposed Resolution

2.1 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 in the following manner:

  • Extend the Conversion Period of the Convertible Notes to 31 March 2012; and

  • Extend the Redemption Date to 31 March 2012;

2.2 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 is currently imposed on the Company.

Virax Holdings Limited – Information Memorandum 6 December 2011 Page 4

The proposed extension will provide further time for the Company to develop a Corporate Transaction to enable it to continue trading and remain solvent. It will also provide Noteholders with an opportunity to consider an additional capital raising proposal in conjunction with any Corporate Transaction.

(2) Solvency

The Company is unlikely to be able to continue trading solvently without undertaking a Corporate Transaction and accompanying capital raising.

Therefore, without a restructuring of the Convertible Notes along the lines of this proposal (or as amended) and approval by Noteholders in General Meeting, the Company is unlikely to continue trading solvently.

(3) Redemption Price

It is proposed that there is no change to the Redemption Price.

(4) Corporate Transaction

The Company has been developing a corporate transaction to introduce a new biotechnology program with an associated capital raising that upon completion would permit the Company to continue developing its programs. It is expected that the vendors of the new program and the supporting investors of the accompanying capital raising will impose conditions that will require the Convertible Notes to be restructured.

Accordingly the Company’s ability to raise additional capital from new investors is currently precluded by the existence of the Convertible Notes in their current form.

To permit the Company to continue to operate and develop a Corporate Transaction, an amendment to the Convertible Notes is sought. This amendment is a three month extension of the Conversion Period and the Redemption Date.

It is anticipated that during the period to 31 March 2012, a further proposal will be presented to Noteholders for their approval in the context of the Corporate Transaction.

2.3 Disadvantages of the Proposed Resolution

(1) No Redemption on 31 December 2011

In order that the Company can continue to trade solvently, it is necessary to extend the Redemption Date. This means that the Company will not be redeeming the Notes and making payments to Noteholders on 31 December 2011.

(2) No change to the Redemption Amount

The proposed amendments will result in an extension of the Company’s obligation to redeem Convertible Notes from 31 December 2011 to 31 March 2012. The Redemption Amount will not change during this period.

(3) Subsequent Proposal to be considered by Noteholders

It is anticipated that proceeding with a Corporate Transaction may require the Company to convene a further meeting of Noteholders to consider another proposal to amend the Terms and Conditions of the Notes as part of any Corporate Transaction.

(4) Solvency

There is no assurance that the Company will remain solvent for the full three month period to 31 March 2012.

Virax Holdings Limited – Information Memorandum 6 December 2011 Page 5

2.4 Other Amendments

No other changes to the Conditions of Issue or the Trust Deed are proposed at this time. The Convertible Notes will continue to be unsecured and the rights of Noteholders as debtors of the Company will remain as is.

3. 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’s solvency whilst maintaining optimal returns for shareholders and other stakeholders.

The Company’s Annual Report for June 2011 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:

  • a further capital raising in conjunction with a corporate transaction; and

  • a restructuring of the company’s Convertible Notes and balance sheet.

The Company noted that it could not be certain of the success or of the timing of the intended fund raising activities and any relevant noteholder or shareholder approval that may be sought.

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 September 2011 $687,131 $85,546
31 October 2011 $534,412 $39,265
30 November 2011 $474,102 $154,546
  • The payable obligations exclude the Convertible Notes, deferred remuneration of Directors and employee leave entitlements.

Although Transgene receipts in relation to the Co-X-Gene™ sub-licence are anticipated in the future, the timing of such payments are uncertain as they depend upon transactional receipts and development milestones being achieved by Transgene.

4. Additional Information

4.1 Capital Structure

As at the date of this Information Memorandum, Virax had 220,072,152 Shares and 7,890,227 Convertible Notes on issue. The Company also had 3,491,333 unlisted options on issue to current and former employees.

Full details of the capital structure of the Company is contained in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report.

4.2 Market price of Shares and Note Conversion

The lowest and highest market sale prices of Shares on the ASX during the 4 months immediately preceding this Information Memorandum, and the respective dates of those sales, were:

  • Highest Price was 2.2 cents on 25 August 2011

  • Lowest Price was 1.1 cents on 5 December 2011

Virax Holdings Limited – Information Memorandum 6 December 2011 Page 6

The last sale price for Shares on the ASX on 5 December 2011, being the day prior to the date of this Information Memorandum was 1.1 cents.

In these circumstances the likelihood of Noteholders converting their Convertible Notes into ordinary shares in the Company is unlikely between the date of this Information Memorandum and 31 December 2011.

No Convertible Notes have been converted since 1 March 2010.

4.3 Additional Documentation

The following documents are available for inspection without charge during normal business hours at the registered office of the Company:

  • Trust Deed of 17 December 2007;

  • Supplemental Trust Deed of 3 December 2009

  • Constitution; and

  • any ASX announcement made by Virax from 30 June 2011 up to the date of this Information Memorandum.

Please contact the Company on (03) 9854 6230 to arrange an inspection time.

Signed for and on behalf of the Directors of Virax on 6 December 2011.
