The notice of meeting along with a proxy voting form is enclosed.
On 6 August 2018, the Company announced that it was undertaking a placement of ordinary shares (Shares) to sophisticated and professional investors to raise approximately A$24.0m (Placement). The Placement is being conducted in two tranches:

The issue price under the Placement is A$0.325, which represents a 3.1% premium to the closing price on 2 August 2018, being the last closing price prior to the announcement of the Placement on 6 August 2018. The funds raised through the Placement will be used to strengthen the Company's balance sheet as the Company conducts partnering negotiations for its clinical development program into Lysyl Oxidase 2 Inhibitors (LOXL2) expected to occur in 2H18. In addition, the funds will be used to further invest in pre‐clinical programs, general working capital and expenses associated with the Placement.
The Placement received strong support from specialist global healthcare investors.

Arix is a global healthcare and life science company based in the United Kingdom and is listed on the main market of the London Stock Exchange. In conjunction with the investment by Arix, the Board of Directors of the Company has approved the nomination of Arix Investment Director, Mr Edward Rayner, to join the Board.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Resolution 1 – Ratification of issue of shares under Tranche 1 Placement
Background
On 6 August 2018, the Company announced that it was undertaking a placement of ordinary shares (Shares) to sophisticated and professional investors to raise approximately A$24.0m (Placement). The Placement is being conducted in two tranches:
- an initial placement of 38,288,432 Shares (Tranche 1 Shares) to sophisticated and professional investors to raise approximately A$12.44m, which was completed on 14 August 2018 (Tranche 1 Placement); and
- a subsequent placement of an additional 35,557,722 Shares (Tranche 2 Shares) to raise approximately A$11.56m which, subject to shareholder approval, is anticipated to complete on or about 21 September 2018 (Tranche 2 Placement). It is proposed that 35,305,000 of the Tranche 2 Shares will be placed to sophisticated and professional investors that are not related parties (as that term is used in the ASX Listing Rules) of the Company (Non-Related Party Investors), and 252,722 of the Tranche 2 Shares will be placed to related parties of the Company (being Directors or their nominees) (Related Parties).
The issue price under the Placement is A$0.325, which represents a 3.1% premium to the closing price on 2 August 2018, being the last closing price prior to the announcement of the Placement on 6 August 2018. Immediately prior to the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares, the Company had 320,162,144 fully paid Shares on issue, of which the Tranche 1 Placement represents approximately 12% and Tranche 2 Placement represents approximately 11%.
The Company is seeking shareholder ratification for the issue of the Tranche 1 Shares pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4.
Purpose of approval
In general terms, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities that total more than 15% of its fully paid ordinary shares in a 12 month period without the approval of its shareholders (15% Capacity), subject to certain exceptions.
However, ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows an issue of securities made without shareholder approval to be treated as having been made with approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1, if the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and is subsequently ratified by the shareholders.
Accordingly, if shareholders ratify the issue of Tranche 1 Shares by way of approving Resolution 1, the Tranche 1 Shares will be treated to have been issued with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and will no longer be counted towards the Company's 15% Capacity. This effectively refreshes the Company's 15% Capacity in respect of the Tranche 1 Shares, and the Company will be able to issue further equity securities up to its 15% Capacity in the next 12 months without requiring shareholder approval.
The Directors consider it to be in the best interests of the Company to maintain the Company's ability to issue up to 15% of its fully paid ordinary shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Other than the Placement, the Board has not made a decision to undertake any further issue of Shares.
Details of the Tranche 1 Placement
The Tranche 1 Shares were issued under the Company's 15% Capacity on 14 August 2018.
The following information, in respect of the issue of Tranche 1 Shares under the Tranche 1 Placement, is provided for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.5:
- The number of securities issued: 38,288,432 Shares
- Issue price of the securities: A$0.325
- Recipients of the securities: The Shares were issued to certain new and existing sophisticated and professional investors who subscribed under the Tranche 1 Placement following a process conducted by the Company's joint lead managers, Bell Potter Securities Limited and WG Partners LP (Joint Lead Managers).
- Terms of the securities: The Shares issued rank equally with the Company's existing Shares on issue. The Company has applied to the ASX for official quotation of the Shares.
- Intended use of the funds raised: The Company intends to use the proceeds raised through the Tranche 1 Placement to strengthen the Company's balance sheet as the Company conducts partnering negotiations for its clinical development program into Lysyl Oxidase 2 Inhibitors (LOXL2) expected to occur in 2H18. In addition, the funds will be used to further invest in pre‐clinical programs, general working capital and expenses associated with the Placement.
Board recommendation
The board of Directors of the Company (Board) unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
Resolution 2 – Approval of issue of shares to Non-Related Party Investors under Tranche 2 Placement
Background
Details of the Tranche 2 Placement are set out in the notes to Resolution 1 in this Explanatory Statement.
Purpose of approval
Under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, the Company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities in excess of its 15% Capacity within a 12 month period without the approval of its shareholders, subject to certain exceptions. Issues of equity securities made with prior shareholder approval are not included in the Company's 15% Capacity.
The Company is seeking shareholder approval to issue the Tranche 2 Shares to Non-Related Party Investors under the Tranche 2 Placement, for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The Joint Lead Managers have secured commitments to subscribe for the Tranche 2 Shares under the Tranche 2 Placement, subject to shareholder approval being obtained.
If Resolution 2 is not passed by shareholders, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Tranche 2 Placement with respect to the Non-Related Party Investors, and will not be able to raise the proposed funds under the Tranche 2 Placement in accordance with the indicative timetable.
If Resolution 2 is passed by shareholders but Resolution 1 is not passed, then the Company will still be able to proceed with the Tranche 2 Placement with respect to the Non-Related Party Investors, but the Tranche 2 Shares issued to Non-Related Party Investors would count towards the Company's 15% Capacity. The Tranche 2 Shares represent approximately 11% of the Company's share capital.
If both Resolutions 1 and 2 are passed, then none of the Tranche 1 Shares or Tranche 2 Shares will count towards the Company's 15% Capacity, and the Company will preserve the flexibility of being able to issue further equity securities over the next 12 months (within the 15% Capacity), without the delays involved with seeking prior shareholder approval. Other than the Placement, the Board has not made a decision to undertake any further issue of Shares. The Board will only undertake further issues of equity securities if the Board considers it is in the best interests of the Company to do so.
Each of the Company's Directors has also agreed to participate in the Tranche 2 Placement, subject to shareholder approval being obtained pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Shareholder approval is being sought separately in relation to the proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Shares to the Related Parties under Resolutions 3a to 3e (inclusive).
Details of the proposed Tranche 2 Placement to Non-Related Party Investors
The following information, in respect of the proposed issue of Tranche 2 Shares under the Tranche 2 Placement to Non-Related Party Investors, is provided for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.3:
- The maximum number of securities to be issued: 35,305,000 Shares
- Date by which the securities are to be issued: The Shares are anticipated to be issued on or around 21 September 2018 and in any case, no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting.
- Issue price of the securities: A$0.325
- Proposed recipients of the securities: The Shares are to be issued to certain new and existing sophisticated and professional investors who subscribe for Shares under the Tranche 2 Placement following a process conducted by the Joint Lead Managers.
Each of the Directors has also agreed to participate in the Tranche 2 Placement, subject to shareholder approval being obtained pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Shareholder approval is being sought separately in relation to the proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Shares to the Related Parties under Resolutions 3a to 3e (inclusive).
- Terms of the securities: The Shares to be issued will rank equally with the Company's existing Shares on issue. The Company will apply to the ASX for official quotation of the Shares.
- Intended use of the funds raised: The Company intends to use the proceeds raised through the Placement (including the Tranche 2 Placement) to strengthen the Company's balance sheet as the Company conducts partnering negotiations for its clinical development program into Lysyl Oxidase 2 Inhibitors (LOXL2) expected to occur in 2H18. In addition, the funds will be used to further invest in pre‐clinical programs, general working capital and expenses associated with the Placement.
Board recommendation
The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
Resolutions 3a to 3e (inclusive) – Approval of issue of shares to Related Parties under Tranche 2 Placement
Background
Each of the Company's Directors, being Mr Malcolm McComas, Mr William Delaat, Dr Simon Buckingham, Dr Kathleen Metters and Mr Gary Phillips, have agreed to support the Company's Placement by participating in the Tranche 2 Placement, subject to shareholder approval.
Purpose of approval
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to a related party of the company without the approval of its shareholders, subject to certain exceptions. Each of the Company's Directors (and their nominees) is a related party of the Company by virtue of sections 228(2) and 228(4) of the Corporations Act.
Accordingly, Resolutions 3a to 3e (inclusive) seek shareholder approval to allow the issue of Tranche 2 Shares to each of the Related Parties under the Tranche 2 Placement.
If shareholder approval is given for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11, approval will not be required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and the Tranche 2 Shares issued to the Related Parties will not be counted towards the Company's 15% Capacity.
Details of proposed issue of Tranche 2 Shares to the Directors
ASX Listing Rule 10.13 requires that a notice of meeting pursuant to which shareholders are requested to consider approving an issue of shares pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11 must include certain specified information in relation to the securities to be issued. This information is set out below:

Board recommendation
The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 3a to 3e (inclusive), with each Director who has an interest in the outcome of the relevant Resolution abstaining from making a recommendation in respect of the Resolution that they have an interest in.
Resolution 4 – Election of Mr Edward Rayner as a Non-Executive Director
Under the Placement, Arix Bioscience plc (Arix) committed to invest A$14.2m as follows:
- A$6.5m under the Tranche 1 Placement, which has already completed; and
- A$7.7m under the Tranche 2 Placement, subject to Resolution 2 being approved by shareholders.
This would result in Arix having an 11.1% shareholding in the Company. Arix is a global healthcare and life science company based in the United Kingdom and is listed on the main market of the London Stock Exchange.
In conjunction with the investment by Arix under the Placement, the Board has approved the nomination of Arix Investment Director Mr Edward Rayner for election as a Director of the Company. In assessing the nomination of Mr Rayner the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and the Board assessed the capabilities Mr Rayner could bring to the Board and particularly noted his experience as in investment manager and analyst in the healthcare and biotech space. Because of Mr Rayner's position with Arix the Board would not consider him to be an independent director. The Board has developed guidelines to assist the Company, Mr Rayner and Arix in managing Mr Rayner's position and any potential conflicts of interest and these have been discussed and agreed with Mr Rayner and Arix.
Before joining Arix Bioscience at its inception, Mr Rayner spent 18 years as an equity analyst and Portfolio Manager in Europe and Australia. From 2004 to 2014, he was Head of Research at Alliance Bernstein and then a senior portfolio manager at AMP Capital, a leading Australian investment house with over A$130bn in funds under management, both in Sydney, Australia. At AMP Capital, he managed the growth equity portfolios and launched a small companies fund. As part of his responsibilities he focused on the Healthcare sector.
Prior to his move to Australia, Mr Rayner analysed European equities at UBS Asset Management and JP Morgan Investment Management. He gained an MA in Chemistry and MSc in Management at the University of Oxford and is a Chartered Financial Analyst.
Mr Rayner has acknowledged to the Company that he will have sufficient time to fulfil his responsibilities as a Director.
If elected, Mr Rayner's term of office will be until the end of the third annual general meeting following his election or three years (whichever is longer), subject to the constitution of the Company, the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act (and subject to any re-election by shareholders).
