E X P L A N A TO R Y S T A TE M E N T

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.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2016 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 company or the directors of 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 a financial year.

The chair of the meeting must allow a reasonable opportunity for its shareholders to ask questions about or make comments on the remuneration report at the annual general meeting.

2.2 Voting consequences

A company is required to put to its shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of another meeting of shareholders to consider the appointment of directors of the company ( Spill Resolution ) if, at consecutive annual general meetings, at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report and at the first of those annual general meetings a Spill Resolution was not put to vote. If required, the Spill Resolution must be put to vote at the second of those annual general meetings.

If more than 50% of votes cast are in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene a shareholder 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 most recent financial year) 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 re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.

2.3 Previous voting results

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

3. RESOLUTION 2 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY– SHARES

3.1 General

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity (as defined below) may seek shareholder approval by special resolution passed at an annual general meeting to have the capacity to issue up to that number of Equity Securities (as defined below) equal to 10% of its issued capital ( 10% Placement Capacity ) without using that company’s existing 15% annual placement capacity granted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

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

  • (a) is not included in the S&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.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of $34,070,358 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on the ASX on 28 September 2016).

An Equity Security is a share, a unit in a trust, a right to a share or unit in a trust or option, an option over an issued or unissued security, a convertible security, or, any security that ASX decides to classify as an equity security.

Any Equity Securities issued under the 10% Placement Capacity must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted Equity Securities.

As at the date of this Notice, the Company currently has one class of quoted Equity Securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: CMM).

If Shareholders approve Resolution 2, the number of Equity Securities the Company may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2.

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.

3.2 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 section 3.2(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) (after which date, an approval under Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid),

Page | 7

( 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 market price of Shares and the number of Equity Securities on issue as at 27 September 2016.

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 pro-rata 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. There are currently 2,004,138,734 existing Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meeting.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 27 September 2016.

  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 issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity consists only of Shares. It is assumed that no Options are exercised into Shares before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.

Page | 8

  1. 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.

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

  3. 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%.

  4. The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Capacity, based on that Shareholder’s holding at the date of the Meeting.

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 for the following purposes:

  • (i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for the further research and development of its Phylomer libraries and tools developed to discover therapeutic drugs from them and general working capital; or

  • (ii) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by listing Rule 7.1A.3.

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

(e) Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity

The recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the recipients 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 recipients 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).

Page | 9

Further, if the Company is successful in acquiring new resources, assets or investments, it is likely that the recipients under the 10% Placement Capacity will be vendors of the new resources, assets or investments.

(f) Previous approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A

The Company previously obtained approval from its Shareholders pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at its annual general meeting held on 25 November 2015 ( Previous Approval ).

The Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval.

During the 12 month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 25 November 2015, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities under any other purpose.

(g) Compliance with ASX Listing Rules 7.1A.4 and 3.10.5A

When the Company issues Equity Securities pursuant to the 10% Placement Capacity, it must give to ASX:

  • (i) a list of the recipients of the Equity Securities and the number of Equity Securities issued to each (not for release to the market), in accordance with Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and

  • (ii) the information required by Listing Rule 3.10.5A for release to the market.

3.3 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 – DR BERNARD HOCKINGS

4.1 General

The Constitution sets out the requirements for determining which Directors are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.

Dr Bernard Hockings, who has served as a director since 23 January 2014 and was last reelected on 27 November 2014, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

Page | 10

5. RESOLUTION 4 & 5 – ELECTION OF DIRECTORS – MS STEPHANIE UNWIN AND PROFESSOR PAUL WATT

5.1 General

The Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.

ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a director appointed to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the board must not hold office (without re-election) past the next annual general meeting of the entity.

Pursuant to the Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4, any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following annual general meeting and is then eligible for election by Shareholders but shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation (if any) at that meeting.

Ms Stephanie Unwin, having been appointed by other Directors on 18 January 2016, and Professor Paul Watt, having been appointed by other Directors on 12 September 2016 in accordance with the Constitution, will both retire in accordance with the Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4 and being eligible, seek election from Shareholders.

Ms Unwin and Professor Watt have no interests, position, association or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, in a material respect their capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the board and to act in the best interest of the entity and its security holders generally.

If elected, the board considers Ms Unwin will be an independent director.

I elected, the board considers Professor Watt will not be an independent director because he has been an Executive of the Company within the last 3 years.

5.4 Board recommendation

The Board supports the re-election both of Ms Unwin and Professor Watt and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 4 & 5.

6. RESOLUTION 6 & 7 – ISSUE OF OPTIONS TO RELATED PARTIES

6.1 General

The Company has agreed, subject to obtaining Shareholder approval, to issue a total of 30,000,000 Options ( Related Party Options ) to Ms Stephanie Unwin and Professor Paul Watt ( 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.

The grant of the Related Party Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and Ms Unwin and Professor Watt are related parties of the Company by virtue of being Directors.

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.

It is the view of the Company that the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of Related Party Options to the Related Parties.

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

Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of section 219 of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed grant of Related Party Options:

  • (c) the related parties are Ms Unwin and Professor Watt, and they are related parties by virtue of being Directors;

Page | 12

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

  • (i) 10,000,000 Related Party Options to Ms Unwin; and

  • (ii) 20,000,000 Related Party Options to Professor Watt;

  • (e) the Related Party Options will be granted to the Related Parties no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is anticipated the Related Party Options will be issued on one date;

  • (f) the Related Party Options will be granted for nil cash consideration, accordingly no funds will be raised;

  • (g) the terms and conditions of the Related Party Options are set out in Schedule 1 (for Related Party Options to be issued to Ms Unwin) and Schedule 2 (for Related Party Options to be issued to Professor Watt);

  • (h) the value of the Related Party Options and the pricing methodology is set out in Schedule 3;

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

the relevant interests of the
below:
Related Parties in securities
Related Party Shares
Ms Stephanie Unwin -
Professor Paul Watt 23,517,197
  • (j) the remuneration and emoluments from the Company to the Related Parties for the previous financial year and the proposed remuneration and emoluments for the current financial year are set out below:
Related Party Current Financial Year Previous
Financial Year
Ms Stephanie Unwin $70,000 $25,866
Professor Paul Watt $310,945 $239,808

(k) if the Related Party Options granted to the Related Parties are exercised, a total of 30,000,000 Shares would be issued. This will increase the number of Shares on issue from 2,004,138,734 to 2,034,138,734 (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 by an aggregate of 1.47%, comprising 0.49% by issue of 10,000,000 Options to Ms Unwin and 0.98% by issue of 20,000,000 Options to Dr Watt.

The market price for Shares during the term of the Related Party Options would normally determine whether or not the Related Party Options are exercised. As there is no exercise price for the Related Party Options, there may be a perceived cost to the Company on exercise of the Related Party Options. The Company has attached vesting conditions to the Options;

  • (m) the Board acknowledges the grant of Related Party Options to the Related Parties is contrary to Recommendation 8.2 of The Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations with 2014 Amendments (3[rd] Edition) as published by The ASX Corporate Governance Council. However, the Board considers the grant of Related Party Options to the Related Parties is reasonable in the circumstances for the reason set out in paragraph(r);

  • (n) the primary purpose of the grant of the Related Party Options to the Related Parties is to provide an incentive component in the remuneration package for the Related Parties to motivate and reward the performance of the Related Parties in their respective roles as Directors. The Company acknowledges that the Related Party Options have a nil exercise price and are therefore “in the money” upon issue.

With respect to the Related Party Options to be granted to Ms Unwin, part of the objective is to provide remuneration for the additional burden which she has assumed as Chair of the board in a time of significant management restructuring and strategic planning. The vesting conditions over two years are an incentive to remain with the Company during this phase of its development and the Directors (other than Ms Unwin) consider the benefit represented at present market prices is a reasonable reflection of reward for expected effort. The potential upside from share price increase is to further align her interests with increases in shareholder wealth.

With respect to the Related Party Options to be issued to Prof Watt, the vesting conditions are a 67% and a 277% increased on the recent share price and are offered as an incentive to remain as Chief Scientific Advisor and increase shareholder wealth substantially;

  • (o) Ms Unwin declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 6 due to her material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that she is to be granted Related Party Options in the Company should Resolution 6 be passed;

  • (p) Professor Watt declines to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to Resolution 7 due to his material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolution on the basis that he is to be granted Related Party Options in the Company should Resolution 7 be passed;

  • (q) with the exception of Ms Unwin (with regards to Resolution 6) and Professor Watt (with regards to Resolution 7), no other Director has a personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 6 and 7;

  • (r) the directors (other than, Ms Unwin in relation to Resolution 6, and Professor Watt in relation to Resolution 7) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 6 and 7, for the reasons set out below:

  • (i) the grant of Related Party Options to the Related Parties will align the interests of the Related Parties with those of Shareholders;

  • (ii) the grant of the Related Party Options is a reasonable and appropriate method to provide cost effective remuneration as the non-cash form of this benefit will allow the Company to spend a greater proportion of its cash reserves on its operations than it would if alternative cash forms of remuneration were given to the Related Parties; and

  • (iii) it is not considered that there are any significant opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in granting the Related Party Options upon the terms proposed;

  • (s) in forming their recommendations, each Director considered the experience of the Related Parties, the current market price of Shares, the current market practices when determining the number of Related Party Options to be granted as well as the exercise price, vesting conditions and expiry date of those Related Party Options; and

Page | 14

  • (t) the Board 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 6 and 7.

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Related Party Options to the Related Parties as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of Related Party Options 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.

3.

( Appointing a proxy ): A Shareholder entitled to attend and cast a vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf at the Meeting. If a Shareholder is entitled to cast 2 or more votes at the Meeting, the Shareholder 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 Shareholder who appoints 2 proxies may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a Shareholder appoints 2 proxies and the appointments do not specify the proportion or number of the Shareholder’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 Shareholder.

( Direction to vote ): A Shareholder may direct a proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business. Where a box is not marked the proxy may vote as they choose subject to the relevant laws. 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 Shareholder must sign.

  • ( Joint holding ): Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the Shareholders 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 Proxy 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. In addition, if a representative of a company is appointed pursuant to Section 250D of the Corporations Act to attend the Meeting, the documentation evidencing such appointment should be produced prior to admission to the Meeting. A form of a certificate evidencing the appointment may be obtained from the Company.

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

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

  • (a) post to Phylogica Limited, 15 Lovegrove Close, Mount Claremont WA 6010; or
