This issue raised up to \$2,000,000 (before costs) for working capital and was approved by Shareholders of the Company at the 2003 AGM. 19 June 2003.

On 18 June 2003, the Company issued a supplementary prospectus advising the issue of an additional 2,220,000 ordinary shares and attaching 1,110,000 options. This placement raised an additional \$444,000 (before costs). This issue was not approved at the 2003 AGM and the Company is seeking its ratification by shareholders at this meeting.

The placement was undertaken pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, which provides that Directors have discretion to place up to 15% of a Company's issued capital in any 12 month period. Shareholders are being asked to ratify the placement, which will, if approved, refresh the Company's discretionary capacity to place securities. The Directors believe restoration of this capacity is desirable and in the best interests of the Company as it enables the Company to move quickly to secure necessary funding when appropriate. The shares issued under the recent placement rank pari passu in all respects with the existing listed fully paid ordinary shares of the Company.

Resolution 4 - Subsequent approval of issue of options to RW Associates Pty Ltd

On 15 November 2003 the company reached an agreement with RW Associates Pty Ltd to issue 350,000 listed options (ASX: SLTOA), exercisable at \$0.20 on or before 31 May 2008, at an issue price of \$0.30 each in lieu of \$105,000 of consulting fees. Options were issued in lieu of fees payable for investor relations & consulting services provided in a previous 12 month period.

The placement was undertaken pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, which provides that Directors have discretion to place up to 15% of a Company's issued capital in any 12 month period. Shareholders are being asked to ratify the placement, which will, if approved, refresh the Company's discretionary capacity to place securities. The Directors believe restoration of this capacity is desirable and in the best interests of the Company as it enables the Company to move quickly to secure necessary funding when appropriate. The options issued under the recent placement rank pari passu in all respects with the existing listed ordinary shares of the Company, once exercised.

Resolution 5 - Approval of issue of options to Anything Consultants Pty Ltd

An agreement has been undertaken with Anything Consultants Pty Ltd for the issue of 700,000 listed options (ASX:SLTOA) for nil consideration exercisable at \$0.20 (20 cents) on or before 31 may 2008. in lieu of $$112,000$ of fees for investor relations & other consulting services undertaken for the Company. The options to be allocated in respect to this resolution will be issued and allotted to the intended allottee on a date not more than 3 months after the date of the meeting at which approval for the resolution is sought.

Resolution 6 - Approval of proposed issue of shares & options

The Company is seeking approval for the placement to institutions and eligible professional investors of up to 6,000,000 new shares at a subscription price being the lower of 30 cents per share or a 15% discount to the volume weighted average price per share over the five trading days prior to the AGM. The placement will raise up to \$1,800,000 (before costs).

Pursuant to Chapter 7 of the ASX Listing Rules a company may, within a 12 month period, allot up to 15% of its issued capital (whether by way of shares or options) without the need to seek shareholder approval. The allotment of 6,000,000 shares when aggregated together represents approximately 24%

SELECT VACCINES LIMITED

ABN 25 062 063 692

of Select Vaccine's existing issued capital and therefore the Company requires shareholder approval for this placement to proceed.

As at 31 March 2004 the Company had cash reserves and cash equivalents of approximately \$968,335 and seeks to undertake this placement to fund continuing and expanded research and development of its key technology projects through its subsidiaries Hepgenics Pty Ltd and Piccoral Pty Ltd.

The Company has elected to proceed by way of private placement to institutional and professional investors for the following reasons:

  • a} Company wishes to extend the scope of its existing technology projects to take advantage of the advances achieved to date. The additional funds being sought will enable the Company to achieve this objective;
  • The Company believes it is appropriate to seek representation of institutions on its share $b)$ register as such representation is generally viewed favourably by market participants;
  • c) Expediting fundraising is also considered important. A placement to professional investors and institutions undertaken in accordance with Section 708 of the Corporations Act does not require the lodgement of a prospectus, saving time and associated costs, and can be undertaken more quickly than an entitlement issue which is required to follow a prescribed timetable;
  • There is an inherent risk associated with entitlement issues in that the outcome is đ unknown until the issue is completed and, unless fully underwritten, a company may not be successful in raising required funds. Obtaining underwriter support is considered too costly and time consuming.

The shares and options to be allotted under the placement will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's other issued fully paid shares and listed options. The Company will apply for Official Quotation on ASX of the new shares and attaching options. Subject to obtaining shareholder approval the securities will be issued within 3 months of the date of the meeting.

Resolution 7- Participation by Directors and Associates

The Directors of Select Vaccines Ltd and their associates are seeking approval of shareholders to participate in the issue of up to 6 million shares. Pursuant to the ASX Listing Rules directors of a company are precluded from participating in any placement of securities in a company without the prior approval of shareholders. It is the intention of Directors and their associates to subscribe for new Shares up to a value of \$250,000, which would represent approximately 13% of the proposed placement. Subject to shareholders approving participation, it is the intention of Directors and their associates to subscribe for shares at the same price as they are offered to other subscribers under Resolution 6 (i.e. the lower of 30 cents per share or a 15% discount to the volume weighted average price per share over the five trading days prior to the AGM) on the following basis:

Mr Bryan Frost and/or associates up to \$100,000
Mr Jeremy Cooper and/or associates up to \$50,000
Mr Peter Marks and/orassociates up to \$50,000
Dr Martin Soust and/or associates up to \$50,000

The Shares to be allotted will rank pari passu in all respects with the shares to be allotted pursuant to Resolution 5 above. Subject to receiving shareholder approval, the securities will be issued progressively as applications are received and in any event within 1 month of the date of the meeting. The use of funds raised by the issue will be the same as set out above in respect of Resolution 5.

The approval of resolution 7 is required under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 and as a consequence approval under Listing Rule 7.1 will not be required.

Resolution 8- Grant of options to Mr Phillip Hains

The options will entitle the holder to acquire one ordinary share in the Company upon the payment of an exercise price of \$0.30 (thirty cents) on or before 5.00 pm Melbourne time, on 30 April 2008 by completing the Option Exercise Form and delivering it together with payment for the number of shares in respect of which the options are exercised to the registered office of the Company. Subject to the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001, the ASX Listing Rules and the Constitution of the Company the options will be freely transferable. The Company does not intend to apply for quotation of these options. There will be no participation rights and entitlements inherent in these options and the holder will not be entitles to participate in new issues of capital offered to shareholders during the currency of the options without first exercising the options. The options to be allocated in respect to this resolution will be issued and allotted to the intended allottee on a date not more than 3 months after the date of the meeting at which approval for the resolution is sought.

Directors' recommendations

All Directors were available to consider the proposed resolutions. As Messrs Frost, Cooper, and Marks are Directors of Peregrine Corporate Limited, which will receive a benefit if resolution 6 is passed, and have elected not to make a recommendation to shareholders in respect of that resolution. As Messrs Frost, Cooper, Marks and Soust will receive a benefit if resolution 7 is passed, and have elected not to make a recommendation to shareholders in respect of that resolution. Each of the Directors recommends shareholders vote in favour of 3, 4, 5 and 8.
