Dear Optionholder
Notice to Optionholders – Pro-Rata Non-Renounceable Rights Issue
I am writing to you as a holder of options over ordinary shares in Imagion Biosystems Limited (the Company)
as at today's date.
Overview of Offer
As announced on 20 September 2018, the Company is undertaking a pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement
offer to raise up to $4.3 million (before costs) (Entitlement Offer), on the basis of one (1) fully paid ordinary
shares in the capital of the Company for every two (2) fully paid ordinary shares held as at 7.00pm
(Melbourne time) Friday 28 September 2018 (Record Date).
Pursuant to the Offer, the Company will issue up to 107,147,608 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of
the Company (New Shares) (subject to fractional rounding) at an issue price of $0.04 each. The entitlement
to subscribe for New Shares under the Offer will be non-renounceable.
The Entitlement Offer will be made by way of an offer document pursuant to section 708AA of the
Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (as modified by ASIC Corporations (Non-Traditional Rights Issues) Instrument
2016/84) for the offer of New Shares without disclosure to investors under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act
(Offer Document).
New Shares issued will rank equally with the Company's existing shares.
Only those shareholders at the Record Date with registered addresses in Australia, New Zealand or where
the Entitlement Offer falls within a security offer exception, and such exception is applicable to those
shareholders in that jurisdiction at that time, are entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer and,
accordingly, only those shareholders will be entitled to subscribe for New Shares (Eligible Shareholders).
The Company has determined that it would be unreasonable to extend the Entitlement Offer to shareholders
who are not Eligible Shareholders (Ineligible Shareholders) having regard to:
▪
▪
▪
the small number of shareholders with addresses in other countries;
the number and value of the shares they hold; and
the cost to the Company of complying with applicable legal and regulatory requirements in such other
countries.
Purpose of offer and use of funds
The purpose of the offer is to raise funds. Following from the Company’s recent announcement regarding
successful optimization of its nanoparticle formulation, the Company is raising funds to support the first-inhuman study, which is expected to be conducted at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in early 2019 after
small scale production transfer and safety testing.
The funds raised will be applied towards the costs of the offer, and to ensure the Company has adequate
resources to undertake and complete this early feasibility study which has previously been disclosed as an
important milestone in the product development and regulatory path.

Dispersion strategies
The Entitlement Offer is not underwritten. There will be a shortfall facility under the Entitlement Offer, which
will enable Eligible Shareholders to subscribe for shares in addition to their entitlement.
In the event that following the close of the Entitlement Offer a shortfall remains, the Directors reserve the
right to place such shortfall shares at their discretion to sophisticated and/or professional investors (under
section 708 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (the Act)) within 3 months of the close of the Entitlement
Offer. It is intended that any such shortfall placement will be managed by the Lead Manager to the
Entitlement Offer, Pamplona Corporate Pty Ltd.
Option holders
The purpose of this letter is to give you notice, as an optionholder of the Company, that if you wish to
participate in the Entitlement Offer in relation to the shares underlying your options, you must exercise your
options before the Record Date.
Notice of exercise of your options and payment of the exercise price of the options must be received by the
Company's share registry, Boardroom Pty Limited, on or before 7.00pm (Melbourne time) Friday 28
September 2018. Any notice of exercise of options received after this date cannot be assured of the allotment
of shares by the Record Date.
There is no obligation for you to exercise your options. This letter is intended to inform you of your rights in
relation to your options and the Entitlement Offer. If you do not wish to participate in the Entitlement Offer,
you do not need to take any action.
