To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return it by the time specified in, and in accordance with the instructions set out on, the Proxy Form.

2641-02/834776_4

  • a member 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 member appoints 2 proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the member’s votes, then in accordance with section 249X(3) of the Corporations Act, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes.

Sections 250BB and 250BC of the Corporations Act came into effect on 1 August 2011 and apply to voting by proxy on or after that date. Shareholders and their proxies should be aware of these changes to the Corporations Act, as they will apply to this Annual General Meeting. Broadly, the changes mean that:

  • if proxy holders vote, they must cast all directed proxies as directed; and

  • any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chair, who must vote the proxies as directed.

Further details on these changes is set out below.

Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote

Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does :

  • the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and

  • if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • if the proxy is not the chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

  • an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members; and

  • the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting; and

  • at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

  • either of the following applies:

  • the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting;

  • the proxy does not vote on the resolution,

the chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions which are the subject of the business of the Meeting.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include the receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2012, together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the Remuneration Report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.phylogica.com.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

The remuneration report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The Remuneration Report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2012.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.

2.2 Voting consequences

Under changes to the Corporations Act that came into effect on 1 July 2011, if at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report in two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of a general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ) at the second annual general meeting.

If more than 50% of shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene the general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.

All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the company’s annual financial report for the financial year ended immediately before the second annual general meeting) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or reelection as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company.

10

At the Company’s previous annual general meeting, the votes cast against the remuneration report at that general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.

2.3 Proxy Restrictions

Shareholders appointing a proxy for Resolution 1 should note the following:

If you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel as your proxy

If you elect to appoint a member of Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of that member, you must direct the proxy how they are to vote . Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be included in any vote on Resolution 1.

If you appoint the Chair as your proxy

If you elect to appoint the Chair as your proxy, you do not need to direct the Chair how you wish them to exercise your vote on Resolution 1, however if you do not direct the Chair how to vote, by signing and returning the proxy form you expressly authorise the Chair to exercise your proxy in relation to Resolution 1 even though Resolution 1 is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of key management personnel.

If you appoint any other person as your proxy

You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

3.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity may seek Shareholder approval to allow it to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of its issued capital over a period up to 12 months after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ).

The Company is an Eligible Entity.

If Shareholders approve Resolution 2, the number of Equity Securities the Eligible Entity may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out in Section 3.2 below).

The effect of Resolution 2 will be to allow the Directors to issue Equity Securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 2 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 2 for it to be passed.

11

3.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue Equity Securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.

An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:

  • (a) is not included in the A&P/ASX 300 Index; and

  • (b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.

The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the A&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation (at 2.6 cents per Share) of $12,139,159.

The Equity Securities must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities. The Company currently has only one class of Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares.

The exact number of Equity Securities that the Company may issue under an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:

(A x B) – C

Where:

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

  • (a) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;

  • (b) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;

  • (c) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under this rule; and

  • (d) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.

B is 10%; and

C 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 issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of Ordinary Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.

12

3.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 2:

(a) Minimum Price

The minimum price at which the Equity Securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of Equity Securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded 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 ASX trading days of the date in paragraph 3.3(a)(i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

(b) Date of Issue

The Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:

  • (i) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and

  • (ii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking).

or such longer period if allowed by ASX ( 10% Placement Capacity Period ).

(c) Risk of voting dilution

Any issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.

If Resolution 2 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.

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

The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

* 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 prorata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. The current shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 8 October 2012.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 8 October 2012.

  3. The Company issues the maximum possible number of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.

  4. The Company has not issued any Equity Securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  5. The calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances.

  6. This table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:

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

  • (ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity to raise capital for general working capital purposes, including for the following purposes:

  • (i) to strengthen its peptide drug discovery infrastructure; and

  • (ii) to advance the Company’s in-house development programs.

14

(e) Allocation under the 10% Placement Capacity

The allottees of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the allottees of Equity Securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.

The Company will determine the allottees at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:

  • (i) the purpose of the issue;

  • (ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;

  • (iii) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;

  • (iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;

  • (v) prevailing market conditions; and

  • (vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

(f) Previous Approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company has not previously obtained approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.

3.4 Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement is included in this Notice. As at the date of this Notice, the Company has not invited any existing Shareholder to participate in an issue of Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Therefore, no existing Shareholders will be excluded from voting on Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – MR JEREMY CURNOCK COOK

Clause 13.4 of the Constitution provides that the directors may appoint an additional director and that any director so appointed holds office only until the next following annual general meeting and shall not be taken into account in determining the number of directors who must retire by rotation.

A Director who retires in accordance with clause 13.4 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.

Mr Jeremy Curnock Cook was appointed as a director by the board on 29 February 2012. He retires in accordance with clause 13.4 and, being eligible, seeks re-election.

The remaining directors of the Company recommend that Mr Curnock Cook be re-elected as a director.

15

5. RESOLUTIONS 4 AND 5 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS - DR P WATT & MR N WOOLF

Clause 13.2 of the Constitution requires that at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third (rounded upwards), shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.

The Directors to retire at this annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, in November 2010. The Company currently has 4 Directors to whom clause 13.2 applies and accordingly Dr Paul Watt and Mr Nick Woolf retire.

A Director who retires by rotation under clause 13.2 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.

Dr Paul Watt and Mr Nick Woolf retire by rotation and seek re-election under Resolutions 4 and 5 respectively.

The Board, other than Dr Watt, recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

The Board, other than Mr Woolf, recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

6. RESOLUTION 6 – APPROVAL OF ISSUE OF CONVERTING NOTES

6.1 Background for Resolutions 6 to 10

As announced to the market on 16[th] October 2012, the Company has agreed, subject to Shareholder approval to issue 16,000 Converting Notes each with an issue price of $100 ( Converting Note ) to raise $1,600,000. The Converting Notes will convert into a variable number of Shares and, if applicable, options listed on ASX under the ASX Code PYCOA ( PYCOA Options ). The PYCOA Options are on the same terms as the PYCOA Options already listed on ASX, exercisable at 9 cents and expire on 30 June 2016.

The number of Shares to be issued on conversion of the Converting Notes will depend on the Company’s prevailing Share price leading into the date that the Shares are issued on conversion of the Converting Notes (which is expected to be 25[th] November 2013 although it may be earlier) and also on the Company achieving its objectives of signing new drug discovery alliances and revenue generation.

The maximum number of PYCOA Options to be issued on the conversion of a Converting Note will be two PYCOA Options for every three Shares issued on conversion. The number of PYCOA Options, if any, to be issued on conversion of a Converting Note will depend on the Company’s prevailing share price leading into the date of the Meeting. The Company will know on the date of the Meeting whether any PYCOA Options will be issued on conversion of Converting Notes and will inform the Meeting accordingly.

The terms of the Converting Notes, including the basis of calculation of the number of Shares and PYCOA Options to be issued on conversion of the Converting Notes, are set out in Schedule 1.

16

The Converting Note structure provides the Company with the benefit of receiving new funding shortly after the date of the Meeting while not having to determine the number of Shares and, if applicable, PYCOA Options to be issued for that funding until a date in the future when the Share price has had the opportunity to increase from its current level and the Company has had the opportunity to achieve its stated goals.

The maximum issue price of the Shares issued on the conversion of the Converting Notes will be 5.3 cents, which is a premium of 104% to the closing price of Phylogica shares on 15[th] October 2012 (the day before the Converting Note issue was announced to ASX), while the minimum issue price per Share will be determined by how many binding new drug discovery alliances the Company has entered into in the period between the date that the Converting Notes are issued and the Conversion Date, together with the market price of Shares leading into the Conversion Date. Given the maximum issue price per Share and the specified discount structure set out in Schedule 1, the Shares issued on the conversion of the Convertible Notes will be issued at a discount to the market price of Shares leading into the Conversion Date, however, that issue price may still be at a premium to the Company’s current share price and the Company will have had the benefit of the use of the funding from the issue date of the Converting Notes. However, it is possible that Shares will be issued to the holders of the Converting Notes at a price which is lower than the current Share price.

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the Directors to issue up to 15,750 Converting Notes to parties not related to the Company. The directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 6.

Resolutions 7 to 9 seek Shareholder approval for the Directors to issue up to 200 Converting Notes to Directors of the Company and Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval for the Directors to issue up to 50 Converting Notes to the Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Refer to Section 6 of this Explanatory Statement for further details.

6.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a listed company must not, subject to specified exceptions (none of which apply in this case), issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, including securities with rights to conversion to equity securities (such as the Converting Notes), if the number of those securities, or the number of securities to be issued on conversion, exceeds 15% of the number of equity securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

The effect of Resolution 6 will be to allow the Directors to issue up to 15,750 Converting Notes during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity. If Resolution 6 is approved by Shareholders, the Company proposes to issue the Converting Notes on the second business day after the Meeting.

6.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the Converting Notes:

(a) the maximum number of Converting Notes to be issued in accordance with Resolution 6 is 15,750;

17

  • (b) the Converting Notes will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting. The Company proposes to issue the Converting Notes on the second business day after the Meeting;

  • (c) the issue price of each Converting Notes will be $100;

  • (d) under this Resolution 6, the Converting Notes will be issued to investors who are not required to be issued a disclosure document for the issue of the Converting Notes, including Bernard Hockings, other long-term shareholders and some new investors (as determined by the Board), none of whom will be related parties of the Company. Under Resolutions 7 to 9, up to 200 Converting Notes may be issued to directors Dr Wilson, Dr Watt and Mr Woolf and, under Resolution 10, up to a further 50 Converting Notes may be issued to Chief Operating Officer Dr Richard Hopkins;

  • (e) the Converting Notes will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1; and

  • (f) the Company intends to use the funds raised from the issue of the Converting Notes for working capital purposes.

6.4 Impact of the issue of Securities on the conversion of the Converting Notes under Resolutions 6 to 10

Given that the Converting Notes will convert on the Conversion Date, the issue of the Converting Notes will ultimately cause a dilution of existing shareholdings of persons who do not hold Converting Notes.

On conversion of a Converting Note, the issue price per Share will be the lesser of:

  • (a) $0.053; and

  • (b) the price determined by applying the Specified Discount (defined in Schedule 1) to the average of the daily volume weighted average price of Shares over the 30 trading days preceding and not including the Conversion Date.

In addition to the Shares issued on conversion the holder of a Converting Note may also be issued up to two PYCOA Options for each three Shares issued on conversion.

The following worked examples seek to inform Shareholders of the potential effect on the Company of the issue of Shares and PYCOA Options on the conversion of the Converting Notes. These examples are not exhaustive, and in particular, Shareholders should note that the Conversion Date may be brought forward in the circumstances set out in Schedule 1 and as such the Company may not have sufficient time for its Share price to improve or for the Specified Discount to be lowered. The conversion of the Converting Notes could result in the issue of more Shares and PYCOA Options than set out below.

Worked examples

The following examples assume that:

  • Shareholder approval is provided for Resolutions 6 to 10, so that 16,000 Converting Notes will be issued, each at an issue price of $100; and

18

 2 PYCOA Options are issued for each three Shares issued on conversion.

Example 1 Example 2 Example 3
Issue Price (per Share) $0.016 $0.053 $0.010
(Current Share (Maximum issue (Share price of
price and a 40% price of Shares) $0.0167 and a
discount) 40% discount)
Shares issued on
conversion
100,000,000 30,188,679 160,000,000
% dilution by issue of
Shares on conversion
17.64% 6.07% 25.52%
PYCOA Options issued on
conversion
66,666,667 20,125,786 106,666,667
% dilution by issue of
PYCOA Options on 10.52% 3.89% 14.54%
conversion

Example 1: This example assumes that by the Conversion Date the Company has not entered into any binding research and development collaborations on similar financial terms to the existing agreement with Janssen Biotech, such that the Specified Discount will be 40%.

If the Company’s average volume weighted average price of Shares over the 30 trading days preceding the Conversion Date ( 30 Day VWAP ) is $0.026[1] then the number of securities issued on the conversion of all Converting Notes will be 100,000,000 Shares and 66,666,667 PYCOA Options (based on an issue price per Share of 1.8 cents and two PYCOA Options being issued for each three Shares issued on conversion).

The issue of 100,000,000 Shares would dilute existing Shareholders by 17.64% (assuming no other Shares are issued including on the exercise of existing Options).

The issue of 66,666,667 Shares upon the exercise of the 66,666,667 PYCOA Options would dilute existing Shareholders by a further 10.52% (assuming no other Shares (other than the 100,000,000 Shares issued on conversion of Converting Notes) are issued including on the exercise of existing Options). Although Shareholders should note that if the Share price is $0.026 as it is in this example, it would be unlikely that the holder of a PYCOA Option (which is exercisable at $0.09) would seek to exercise the PYCOA Option at that time given that the then Share price would be substantially less than $0.09.

Shareholders should note that if the 30 Day VWAP is less than $0.03 then more Shares and PYCOA Options would be issued on conversion of Converting Notes than is the case in this example.

Example 2: This example assumes that by the Conversion Date, the Company has entered into 3 or more binding research and development collaborations, which in aggregate provide the Company with a financial outcome equal to or greater than having entered into 3 collaborations with Janssen Biotech, such that the Specified Discount will be 25%.

1 This is the closing price of Shares on 8 October 2012 .

19

If the Company’s 30 Day VWAP is $0.09 then the number of securities issued on the Conversion Date will be 30,188,679 Shares and 20,125,786 PYCOA Options (based on an issue price per Share of 5.3 cents, which is the maximum issue price of Shares on conversion and two PYCOA Options being issued for each three Shares issued on conversion).

The issue of 30,188,679 Shares would dilute existing shareholders by 6.07% (assuming no other Shares are issued including on the exercise of existing Options).

The issue of 20,125,786 Shares upon exercise of the 20,125,786 PYCOA Options would dilute existing Shareholders by a further 3.89% (assuming no other Shares (other than the 30,188,679 Shares issued on conversion of Converting Notes) are issued including on the exercise of existing Options).

Example 2 is an example of the minimum number of Shares that would be issued on conversion of the Converting Notes combined with the maximum number of PYCOA Options that could be issued.

Example 3: This example assumes that by the Conversion Date, the Company has not entered into any binding research and development collaborations on similar financial terms to the existing agreement with Janssen Biotech, such that the Specified Discount will be 40%.

If the Company’s 30 Day VWAP is $0.0167 then the number of securities issued on the conversion of all Converting Notes will be 160,000,000 Shares and 106,666,667 PYCOA Options (based on an issue price per Share of 1 cent and two PYCOA Options being issued for each three Shares issued on conversion).

The issue of 160,000,000 Shares would dilute existing shareholders by 25.52% (assuming no other Shares are issued including on the exercise of existing options).

The issue of 106,666,667 Shares upon the exercise of the 106,666,667 PYCOA Options would dilute existing shareholders by a further 14.54% (assuming no other Shares (other than the 160,000,000 Shares issued on conversion of Converting Notes) are issued including on the exercise of existing Options). Although Shareholders should note that if the Share price is $0.0167 as it is in this scenario, it would be unlikely that the holder of a PYCOA Option (which is exercisable at $0.09) would seek to exercise the PYCOA Option at that time.

Example 3 is an example of the impact of the issue of Converting Notes and PYCOA Options if the 30 Day VWAP is less than the current Share price.

General: Shareholders should be aware that the fewer research and development collaborations entered into by the Company and the lower the 30 Day VWAP (representing the market price of Shares at the Conversion Date), the more Shares and, potentially, PYCOA Options the Company will need to issue on the conversion of the Converting Notes. Shareholders should also note that the number of collaborations entered into by the Company is likely to have an effect on the 30 Day VWAP for example Shareholders should expect that the 30 Day VWAP will be lower the less research and development collaborations are entered into by the Company while at the same time the Specified Discount may be higher.

7. RESOLUTIONS 7 TO 9 – ISSUE OF CONVERTING NOTES TO RELATED PARTIES

7.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting and the passing of Resolution 6, to issue a total of 200 Converting Notes to Dr Doug Wilson (pursuant to Resolution 7) Dr Paul Watt (pursuant to Resolution 8), and Mr Nick Woolf (pursuant to Resolution 9) ( Related Parties ) on the terms and conditions set out below.

The rationale behind the issue of the Converting Notes is set out in section 6.1 and the impact of the issue of the Converting Notes is set out in Section 6.4.

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

The grant of the Converting Notes to the Related Parties requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.11, because the issue of Converting Notes constitutes giving a financial benefit and, as Directors, Dr Doug Wilson, Dr Paul Watt and Mr Nick Woolf, are related parties of the Company.

It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of the Converting Notes to the Related Parties.

7.2 Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11)

In accordance with the requirements of Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Converting Notes:

  • (a) the related parties are Dr Doug Wilson, Dr Paul Watt and Mr Nick Woolf and they are related parties by virtue of being Directors;

  • (b) the maximum number of Converting Notes (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be granted to the Related Parties is: (i) 100 Converting Notes to Doug Wilson;

  • (ii) 50 Converting Notes to Paul Watt; and

21

  • (iii) 50 Converting Notes to Nick Woolf;

  • (c) the Converting Notes will be granted to the Related Parties no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting. The Company proposes to issue the Converting Notes on the second business day after the Meeting;

  • (d) the issue price will be $100 per Converting Note and the Company intends to use the funds raised from the issue of the Converting Notes for working capital purposes;

  • (e) the terms and conditions of the Converting Notes are outlined in Schedule 1;

  • (f) the value of the Converting Notes and the pricing methodology is set out in Schedule 3;

  • (g) the relevant interests of the Related Parties in securities of the Company is set out below:

Related Related Shares Options Long Term

1 unlisted options exercisable at $0.075 each on or before 31 March 2013.

2 unlisted options exercisable at $0.09 each on or before 30 June 2016.

  • 3 loan funded shares at $0.064 per share for term ending 30 June 2018.

  • (h) the remuneration and emoluments from the Company to the Related Parties for both the current financial year and previous financial year are set out below:

Related Party Current Financial Previous
Year Financial Year
Dr Doug Wilson $120,000 $120,000
Dr Paul Watt $416,526 $408,229
Mr Nick Woolf $287,884 $276,789

(i) if the Converting Notes granted to the Related Parties are converted and Shares are issued at a deemed issue price of 1.6 cents per Share consistent with ‘Example 1’ in Section 6.4 (with two free PYCOA Options attaching to every three Shares issued), a total of 1,250,000 Shares and 833,333 PYCOA Options would be allotted and issued. Assuming the

22

PYCOA Options are exercised[2] this will increase the number of Shares on issue from 468,140,744 to 468,974,077 (assuming that no other Options are exercised and no other Shares are issued) with the effect that the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted as follows:

TOTAL 1,250,000 833,333 0.447%
  • (j) the formula set out in Schedule 1 will determine the number of Shares issued on the conversion of the Converting Notes on the Conversion Date. The Converting Notes will convert when the Shares are trading on ASX at a price that is higher than the issue price of the Shares issued on conversion and accordingly there will be a perceived cost to the Company;

  • (k) the trading history of the Shares on ASX in the 12 months before the date of this Notice of General Meeting is set out below:

Price (cents) Date
Highest 6.2 cents 1 November 2011
Lowest 2.2 cents 15,16,20 & 21 August 2012
Last 2.6 cents 8 October 2012
  • (l) the primary purpose of the issue of the Converting Notes to the Related Parties is to allow the Related Parties to subscribe for Converting Notes on the same terms as the offer of Converting Notes under the capital raising the subject of Resolution 6 to unrelated parties. The Board does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Converting Notes to the Related Parties upon the terms proposed;

  • (m) Dr Doug Wilson declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 7 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. Dr Wilson, who does not have a material interest in the outcome of Resolutions 8 and 9, recommends that

2 Shareholders should note that if the Share price is 2.6 cents as it is in this example, it would be unlikely that the holder of a PYCOA option (which is exercisable at 9 cents) would seek to exercise the PYCOA option at that time given that the then Share price would be substantially less than $0.09.

23

Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 8 and 9 for the following reasons:

  • (i) the issue of the Converting Notes to the Related Parties will raise capital for the Company on the same terms and conditions as the Converting Notes to be issued to unrelated parties under Resolution 6; and

  • (ii) the issue of the Converting Notes to the Related Parties will further align the interests of the Related Parties with the Shareholders.

Dr Wilson is not aware of any other information other than as set out in this Notice of Meeting that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 8 and 9;

  • (n) Dr Paul Watt declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 8 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. Dr Watt, who does not have a material interest in the outcome of Resolutions 7 and 9, recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 7 and 9 for the reasons set out in (m)(i) and (ii) above. Dr Watt is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 7 and 9;

  • (o) Mr Nick Woolf declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 9 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution. Mr Woolf, who does not have a material interest in the outcome of Resolutions 7 and 8, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 7 and 8 for the reasons set out in (m)(i) and (ii) above. Mr Woolf is not aware of any other information that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 7 and 8;

  • (p) Mr Bruce McHarrie, who does not have a material interest in the outcome of Resolutions 7 to 9, recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 7 to 9 for the reasons set out in (m)(i) and (ii) above. Mr McHarrie is not aware of any other information other than as set out in this Notice of Meeting that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 7 to 9; and

  • (q) Mr Jeremy Curnock Cook, who does not have a material interest in the outcome of Resolutions 7 to 9, recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 7 to 9 for the reasons set out in (m)(i) and (ii) above. Mr Cook is not aware of any other information other than as set out in this Notice of Meeting that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass Resolutions 7 to 9.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Converting Notes to the Related Parties. Accordingly, the issue of the Converting Notes to the Related Parties will not be included in the 15% calculation of the Company’s annual placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, or the

24

10% placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, if approved under Resolution 2 at this Annual General Meeting.

8. RESOLUTION 10 – ISSUE OF CONVERTING NOTES TO R HOPKINS

8.1 Background

The Company has agreed, subject to Shareholder approval and the passing of Resolution 6 at the Annual General Meeting, to issue 50 Converting Notes to Chief Operating Officer Dr Richard Hopkins. Accordingly, Resolution 10 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 50 Converting Notes to Dr Hopkins who is not a related party of the Company.

The rationale behind the issue of the Converting Notes is set out in Section 6.1 and the impact of the issue of Converting Notes is set out in Section 6.4. If Resolution 10 is approved by Shareholders, the Company proposes to issue the Converting Notes on the second business day after the Meeting.

8.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 6.2 above.

The effect of Resolution 10 will be to allow the Directors to issue 50 Converting Notes to Dr Hopkings during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

8.3 ASX Listing Rule 7.3

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the Converting Notes:

  • (a) the maximum number of Converting Notes to be issued in accordance with Resolution 10 is 50;

  • (b) the Converting Notes will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting. The Company proposes to issue the Converting Notes on the second business day after the Meeting;

  • (c)

  • the issue price of each Converting Notes will be $100;

  • (d) the Converting Notes will be issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1;

  • (e) the Company intends to use the funds raised from the issue of the Converting Notes for working capital purposes; and

  • (f) the primary purpose of the issue of the Converting Notes to Dr Hopkins is to allow Dr Hopkins to subscribe for Converting Notes on the same terms as the offer of Converting Notes under the capital raising the subject of Resolution 6 to unrelated parties. The Board does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Converting Notes to Dr Hopkins upon the terms proposed.

25

9. RESOLUTION 11 – APPROVAL OF INCENTIVE OPTION ISSUE

9.1 Background

The Company has agreed, subject to Shareholder approval and the passing of Resolution 6 at the Annual General Meeting, to issue Incentive Options to Dr Richard Hopkins (1,500,000 Incentive Options) and Ms Katrin Hoffmann (750,000 Incentive Options) ( Research Scientists ). Accordingly, Resolution 11 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for the issue of 2,250,000 Incentive Options to the Research Scientists, both of whom are not related parties of the Company.

9.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1

A summary of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 6.2 above.

The effect of Resolution 11 will be to allow the Directors to issue the Incentive Options to the Research Scientists during the period of 3 months after the Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity.

9.3 ASX Listing Rule 7.3

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of the Incentive Options:

  • (a) the maximum number of Incentive Options to be issued to the Research Scientists is 2,250,000 Incentive Options as follows:

10. RESOLUTIONS 12 AND 13 – ISSUE OF INCENTIVE OPTIONS TO DIRECTORS

10.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting and the passing of Resolution 6, to issue a total of 3,750,000 incentive Options ( Incentive Options ) to Dr Paul Watt (pursuant to Resolution 12) and Mr Nick Woolf (pursuant to Resolution 13) ( Related Parties ) on the terms and conditions set out below.

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • (b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.11 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the entity or a related party is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies.

The grant of the Incentive Options to the Related Parties requires the Company to obtain Shareholder approval in accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.11, because the grant of Incentive Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and, as Directors, Dr Paul Watt and Mr Nick Woolf, are related parties of the Company.

It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of the Incentive Options to the Related Parties.

10.2 Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.11)

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Incentive Options:

  • (a) the related parties are Dr Paul Watt and Mr Nick Woolf and they are related parties by virtue of being Directors;

  • (b) the maximum number of Incentive Options (being the nature of the financial benefit being provided) to be granted to the Related Parties is:

  • (i) 2,250,000 Incentive Options to Dr Paul Watt; and

  • (ii) 1,500,000 Incentive Options to Mr Nick Woolf;

  • (c) the Incentive Options will be granted to the Related Parties no later than 1 month after the date of the General Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules)

27

and it is anticipated the Incentive Options will be issued on one date. If Resolutions 12 and 13 are approved by Shareholders, the Company proposes to issue the Incentive Options on the second business day after the Meeting;

  • (d) the Incentive Options will be issued for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised;

  • (e) the terms and conditions of the Incentive Options are outlined in Schedule 2;

  • (f) the value of the Incentive Options and the pricing methodology is set out in Schedule 4;

  • (g) the relevant interests of the Related Parties in securities of the Company is set out below:

The Board does not consider that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in issuing the Incentive Options upon the terms proposed;

  • (m) Dr Paul Watt declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 12 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution.

SCHEDULE 3 – VALUE AND PRICING METHODOLOGY OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES

The Converting Notes to be issued to Dr Doug Wilson, Dr Paul Watt and Mr Nick Woolf pursuant to Resolutions 7 to 9 have been valued by internal management.

Each Converting Note consists of the right to convert to Shares and, possibly, PYCOA Options.

The value of the financial benefit obtained from the Shares, over and above the face value of the Shares issued, for which consideration is paid at the time of issue of the Converting Note, is the discount to the market price implicit in the issue price of the Shares. The minimum discount at which Shares will be issued is 25% and the maximum discount is 40%.

The value of the PYCOA Options is calculated using the theoretical Black & Scholes option model and based on the assumptions set out below, the Converting Notes have a theoretical value comprised of the values of the discount on the Shares and the value of the PYCOA options to be issued. The ratio of PYCOA options attaching to each Share issued upon conversion of the Convertible Notes will be determined at the date of the General Meeting at which the Converting Notes are approved and will be within a minimum of no attaching options and a maximum of two PYCOA Options for every three Shares issued upon conversion of the Converting Notes.

The minimum financial benefit to the Related Parties (for the range of prices assumed below) will be a 25% discount on the Shares issued, with no attaching PYCOA Options.

The maximum financial benefit to the Related Parties (for the range of prices assumed below) will be a 40% discount and the value of two attaching PYCOA Options for each Share issued.

Instructions for Completing ‘Appointment of Proxy’ Form

  1. ( Appointing a Proxy ): A member entitled to attend and cast a vote at an Annual General Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the meeting. If the member is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the meeting, the member may appoint a second proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the meeting. However, where both proxies attend the meeting, voting may only be exercised on a poll. The appointment of a second proxy must be done on a separate copy of the Proxy Form. A member who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a member appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the member’s votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, each proxy may exercise one-half of the votes. Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a member of the Company.

  2. ( Direction to Vote ): A member may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose. Where more than one box is marked on an item the vote will be invalid on that item.

( Signing Instructions ):

  • ( Individual ): Where the holding is in one name, the member must sign.

  • ( Joint Holding ): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the members should sign.

  • ( Power of Attorney ): If you have not already provided the Power of Attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

  • ( Companies ): Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company secretary, that person must sign. Where the company (pursuant to Section 204A of the Corporations Act) does not have a company secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise, a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary must sign. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held.

  • ( Attending the Meeting ): Completion of a Proxy Form will not prevent individual members from attending the Annual General Meeting in person if they wish. Where a member completes and lodges a valid Proxy Form and attends the Annual General Meeting in person, then the proxy’s authority to speak and vote for that member is suspended while the member is present at the Annual General Meeting.

  • ( Return of Proxy Form ): To vote by proxy, please complete and sign the enclosed Proxy Form and return by:

  • (a) post to 15 Lovegrove Close, Mount Claremont; or

  • (b) facsimile to the Company on facsimile number (08) 9284 3801; or

  • (c) email to the Company at [email protected],

so that it is received not less than 48 hours prior to commencement of the Meeting.

Proxy forms received later than this time will be invalid.
