PHYLOGICA LIMITED ACN 098 391 961

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement is intended to provide Shareholders with sufficient information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in the Notice.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders read this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the Resolutions.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

The business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2019, together with the declaration of the Directors, the Directors' Report (which includes the Remuneration Report) and the Auditor's Report.

The Company is not required to provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless a Shareholder has specifically elected to receive a printed copy.

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

Shareholders will be given the opportunity to:

  • (a) discuss the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2019;

  • (b) ask questions and make comment on the management of the Company; and

  • (c) ask the Auditor questions about the conduct of the audit, preparation and content of the Auditor's Report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company and the independence of the Auditor.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

Pursuant to the Corporations Act, the Directors have included the Remuneration Report in their Directors' Report for the year ended 30 June 2019. The Remuneration Report is set out in the Annual Report. Shareholders can view the Annual Report on the Company's website at www.phylogica.com.

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 shareholders at that meeting. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the relevant company or its directors. The Company has put Resolution 1 to a vote to satisfy such requirements.

Phylogica Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statemen t

Page 5

Of itself, a failure of members to vote in favour of Resolution 1 will not require the Directors to alter any of the arrangements contemplated by the Remuneration Report. However, the Corporations Act requires that, if a company's remuneration report receives an “against” vote of 25% or more at two consecutive annual general meetings, a resolution must be put at the later of the two annual general meetings that another meeting of Shareholders be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the Managing Director) who were in office at the date of that resolution must stand for re-election. In summary, members will be entitled to vote on whether a general meeting to re-elect the Board should be held if the Remuneration Report receives "two strikes".

By way of summary, the Remuneration Report:

  • (a) explains the Company's remuneration policy and the process for determining the remuneration of the Directors and executive officers;

  • (b) addresses the relationship between the Company's remuneration policy and the Company's performance; and

  • (c) sets out remuneration details for each Director and each of the Company's executives and group executives named in the Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2019.

The Company’s remuneration report did not receive an "against" vote of 25% or more at the Company’s previous annual general meeting held on 16 November 2018.

There will be a reasonable opportunity for members to comment on and ask questions about the Remuneration Report at the Meeting.

Note that a voting exclusion applies to Resolution 1 on the terms set out in the Notice. If you choose to appoint a proxy for the Meeting, you are encouraged to direct your proxy how to vote on Resolution 1 by marking either "For", "Against" or "Abstain" on the Proxy Form.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – ROHAN HOCKINGS

3.1 General

Resolution 2 seeks approval for the election of Dr Rohan Hockings as a Director, with effect from the end of the Meeting.

Clause 13.4 of the Constitution provides that the Directors may at any time appoint a person to be a Director, either to fill a casual vacancy, or as an addition to the existing Directors, but so that the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution. Any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following annual general meeting and is then eligible for re-election but shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation (if any) at that meeting.

Dr R Hockings was appointed to the Board as Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director on 30 November 2018. Dr R Hockings retires from office in accordance with the requirements of clause 13.4 of the Constitution and submits himself for election in accordance with clause 13.3 of the Constitution.

Dr R Hockings has held no other Australian listed company directorships in the last three years.

3.3 Board recommendation on Resolution 2

The Directors (other than Dr R Hockings, whose election is the subject of Resolution 2) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

4. RESOLUTION 3 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – ALAN TRIBE

4.1 General

Pursuant to clause 13.2 of the Constitution, Mr Alan Tribe, being a Director, retires by way of rotation and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election as a Director.

5. RESOLUTION 4 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY

5.1 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 as calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 ( 10% Placement Capacity ) without using that entity’s existing 15% annual placement capacity 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 $114,814,263 (based on the number of Shares on issue and the closing price of Shares on ASX on 8 October 2019). However, the Company will only be permitted to seek approval for the 10% Placement Capacity if it remains an Eligible Entity at the date of the Meeting. Accordingly, if the Company is not an Eligible Entity at the date of the Meeting, Resolution 4 will not be put to, and voted on at, the Meeting.

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: PYC).

Subject to the Company being an Eligible Entity and Resolution 4 being put to the Meeting, if Shareholders approve Resolution 4, 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 4 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present (in person, or by proxy or representative) and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 4 for it to be passed.

Phylogica Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statemen t

Page 8

5.2 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.3A

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 4:

(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 (i), the date on which the Equity Securities are issued.

  • (b) Date of issue

Equity Securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity from the period 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 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A ceases to be valid).

(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.

The table below shows the potential dilution of Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (assuming Resolution 4 is passed by Shareholders), on the basis of the market price of Shares and the number of Shares on issue as at 10 October 2019.

The table assumes differing numbers of Shares on issue (ie variable "A" in the above formula) and issue prices for Shares over three scenarios, but in each scenario it is assumed that the Company issues the maximum number of Shares available under the 10% Placement Capacity. For example:

  • Variable 'A' differs across each scenario. Scenario 1 assumes there is no change to the number of Shares on issue. Scenarios 2 and 3 then assume an increase of 50% and 100% (respectively) to the number of Shares on issue.

  • Within each scenario, three different issue prices for the Shares are assumed. One of the issue prices is the closing price on 10 October 2019 (being the last practicable trading day prior to the date of this Notice). The other two issue prices then assume a 50% decrease to that closing Share price and a 100% increase to that price.

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

The table above uses the following assumptions:

  1. The number of Shares on issue is 2,442,856,658, which was the number of Shares the Company had on issue as at 8 October 2019.

  2. The issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 8 October 2019.

  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.

Phylogica Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statemen t

Page 10

  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,

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

  • (d) Purpose of issue under 10% Placement Capacity

The Company may issue Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for cash or non-cash consideration for the following purposes:

  • (i) cash consideration for, amongst other things, (1) increasing the Company’s shareholding in its majority owned subsidiary Vision Pharma Limited, (2) progressing Investigational New Drug (IND) enabling studies and clinical trials, (3) further development of the Company's delivery technology and antisense oligonucleotide development capabilities, and/or (4) general working capital requirements and further pre-clinical studies; or

  • (ii) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets or investments and/or other activities in connection with the purposes set out in paragraph (i). In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3.

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

  • (e)

Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity

The identity of the recipients of the Equity Securities to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined on a case-by-case basis at the time of issue and in the Company's discretion. 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.

Phylogica Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting and Explanatory Statemen t

Page 11

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).

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 26 November 2016 ( Previous Approval ).

In the 12 months prior to the date of this Notice, the Company has not issued any Equity Securities pursuant to the Previous Approval.

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3A.6(a), the Company notes that, as at the date of this Notice, the Company has issued Shares and Options during the 12-month period preceding the date of the Meeting, being on and from 22 November 2018 to 22 November 2019.

As at the date of this Notice, the total number of Equity Securities issued in the 12 months preceding the Meeting and the percentage they represent of the total number of Equity Securities on issue at the commencement of that 12-month period are as follows:

Equity securities
Number of securities on
issue at commencement
of 12-month period

Further details of the issues of Equity Securities by the Company during the 12month period preceding the date of the Meeting are set out in Schedule 1 as at the date of this Notice.

(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 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.4; and

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

5.3 Board recommendation on Resolution 4

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

6. RESOLUTION 5 – CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

In accordance with section 157(1) of the Corporations Act, the Company submits to Shareholders for consideration and adoption by way of a special resolution, for the name of the Company to be changed to PYC Therapeutics Limited.

As set out in the Company's announcement 9 August 2019, the primary driver of re-branding the Company is to explicitly acknowledge the transition that the Company has undertaken from drug discovery to drug development. There has been a substantial amount of change that has occurred within the organisation over the past 18 months in order to realise this transition.

Resolution 5 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present (in person, or by proxy or representative) and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 5 for it to be passed.

In accordance with section 157(3) of the Corporations Act, the change of name will take effect when ASIC alters the details of the Company's registration.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.
