MELBOURNE — Imagion Biosystems Limited (ASX: IBX), a company dedicated to improving healthcare
through the earlier detection of cancer, has today advised that 2,500,000 performance rights have vested
and were issued as ordinary shares to Executive Chairman and CEO, Bob Proulx today, Thursday 10
September, under the terms of Mr Proulx’s employment agreement.
Mr Proulx’s employment agreement was renewed in May 2020. The Board of Directors recommended the
inclusion of an equity incentive plan which included 10,000,000 performance rights, with vesting based on
the achievement of four milestones in alignment with shareholder interests. The equity incentive plan for Mr
Proulx was approved by shareholders in the Company’s AGM on 22 July 2020 and the performance rights
issued on 6 August 2020.
One of the four milestones for vesting of performance rights was subject to the Company achieving a market
capitalisation of at least AU$50 million for a continuous period of at least 20 trading days, during the three
year period from 1 May 2020 to 30 April 2023. The company’s market capitalisation has been AU$50 million
or above since 5 August 2020.
The remaining 7,500,000 performance rights will vest subject to the following performance conditions:

2,500,000 will vest if the company receives U.S. Food and Drug Administration (or other
comparable jurisdictional agency) approval for undertaking clinical investigative use of a product
(eg Investigation Device Exemption (IDE) or Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC)
approval, before 30 April 2023.
2,500,000 will vest if the company completes one ‘early feasibility study’ or one ‘First in human
(Phase 1) study’ including reporting results within 18 months of initiating the study, before April 30
2023;
2,500,000 will vest if the company establishes strategic or business relationships that provide at
least AU$5 million in non-equity, non-debt cash flow including from sales, licence fees, grants or
other forms of non-dilutive capital (but not research and development tax credits) before 30 April
