Letter from the Chairman
7 March 2023
On behalf of the Board of Imagion Biosystem Limited (Company), I invite you to participate in the
Company’s Non-renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer of one (1) New Share for every eight (8) Shares
held at the Record Date of 10 March 2023 at an Issue Price of $0.017 (1.7 cents) per New Share,
(Offer).
Shaw and Partners have been appointed as lead manager of the Offer.
This Offer, forms a capital raise of approximately $2.4 million (before costs).
The Company has also announced that it has entered into a convertible securities agreement with
Mercer Street Global Opportunity Fund, LLC (Mercer) providing for a secured financing facility of up to
approximately $15 million, in a minimum of three investment tranches subject to certain conditions being
satisfied (Convertible Securities Raise). Mercer will have the right to convert its convertible securities
into fully paid ordinary shares in the Company, in accordance with the relevant terms of each tranche.
In addition, Mercer will receive 22,058,824 new shares, representing 2.5% of the total facility, at no cost
to Mercer in consideration for the provision of the funding facility (the deemed issue price is $0.017 per
share). Additionally, for each tranche of investment, Mercer will receive a 75% option coverage to
purchase new shares in the Company. Please refer to the Company's ASX announcement dated 7
March 2023 for further details in relation to the Convertible Securities Raise.
Funds raised under the Offer, in combination with funds raised under the Convertible Securities Raise,
will be used primarily to prepare the Company’s MagSense® HER 2 breast cancer imaging agent for
the next phase of clinical development, funding towards pipeline growth into oncology indications such
as prostate and ovarian cancer and to provide additional working capital. The decision to raise capital
at this time is driven by the progress of the Company’s first clinical trial with positive data providing the
confidence to advance product development and initiate further clinical trials, most likely in the United
States (refer to the Company Update ASX announcement released on 6 February 2023 for further
details).
This capital raise will allow the Company to enable advancement to the next stage of clinical
development in relation to the MagSense® HER 2 breast cancer imaging agent and move towards an
IND application, which the Board views as having the potential to generate significant shareholder
value.
The Offer is to be made pursuant to s708AA of the Corporations Act and may be summarised as follows:
Australian and New Zealand residents holding Shares may subscribe under the Offer for one (1)
New Share for every eight (8) Shares held as at the Record Date of 7.00pm AEDT on 10 March
2023, (Offer).
The Offer of approximately 140,164,817 New Shares to an amount of approximately $2.4
million.
New Shares are priced at $0.017 (1.7 cents) per New Share.
Holders may also subscribe for Additional Shares beyond their Entitlement (on the basis that
some existing Holders will be either ineligible or may fail to fully take up their Entitlement). This
ability to apply for Additional Shares is restricted only to Eligible Shareholders (other than
Directors and related parties of the Company) who also subscribe for their full Entitlement, is
determined at the discretion of the Board and is referred to as a 'Top-Up Facility'.
The Directors reserve the right for up to 3 months after the close of the Offer to place any
Shortfall at the Board's discretion but at a price no less than the Issue Price.
A copy of this Offer Document has been lodged with the ASX and can be accessed on the ASX website
or via the Company's website www.imagionbiosystems.com.

The funds from the Offer are important and will significantly strengthen the Company’s balance sheet
and provide funds towards:

MagSense® HER 2 breast cancer imaging agent for the next phase of development including
manufacturing of materials;
The Company’s business development activities, working capital, corporate activities, and offer
costs.
As a Board, we appreciate the support of our existing Shareholders and we have been mindful of

Share, that will be rounded up to the nearest whole New Share.

on how to accept the Offer are set out in Section 4.2.
Eligible Shareholders who fully subscribe for their entire Entitlement may also apply under the TopUp Facility for Additional Shares. The allocation of any Additional Shares will be limited to the extent

up by some of the Eligible Shareholders as set out in Section 2.10.

or to delay or withdraw the Offer at any time without prior notice. Where the Offer is withdrawn, all
Application Monies will be refunded (without interest) as soon as practicable by cheque to your
7
registered address as noted on the Company’s share register.
Any extension of the Closing Date will have a consequential effect on the issue date of New Shares.
2.5
Entitlements under the Offer
The Offer is Non-renounceable and therefore Eligible Shareholders cannot offer to sell or transfer
any of their Entitlement on the ASX or via an off-market transfer (or any other exchange or privately
transferred).
Shareholders who do not take up their Entitlements in full will have their percentage interest in the
Company diluted as compared to that percentage as at the Record Date.
As described in Section 2.9, any New Shares not taken up by an Eligible Shareholder by the Closing
Date will form part of the Shares available under the Shortfall Offer, including the Top-Up Facility.
2.6
Entitlements and acceptance
The Entitlement of Eligible Shareholders to participate in the Offer will be determined on the Record
Date. Your Entitlement is shown on the online Entitlement & Acceptance form accessible by logging
into your account at www.investorserve.com.au.
2.7
No rights trading
The Offer is Non-renounceable. Accordingly, the Entitlements under the Offer will not be tradable
on the ASX or otherwise capable of being sold or transferred. Shareholders who do not take up
their Entitlement in full will not receive any value in respect of that part of the Entitlement they do
not take up.
2.8
No cooling off rights
Cooling off rights do not apply to an investment in New Shares. You cannot withdraw your
Application once it has been received.
2.9
Top-Up Facility
Eligible Shareholders (other than Directors and related parties of the Company) who fully subscribe
for their entire Entitlement under the Offer may, in addition to taking up their Entitlements in full,
apply for any number of Additional Shares in excess of their Entitlements by using the Top-Up
Facility.
Additional Shares will only be available where the number of Shares the subject of Applications
received under the Offer is less than the aggregate Entitlements, the aggregate Entitlements being
140,164,817 New Shares. Any Additional Shares issued will be at the same Issue Price of $0.017
(1.7 cents) per Share.
Details on how to apply for Additional Shares under the Top-Up Facility are set out in Section 4.3.
There can be no guarantee that there will be any allocation of Additional Shares under the Top-Up
Facility.
Subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, the Board in its discretion may determine the
allocation subscriptions for Additional Shares (if any).
It is an express term of the Offer that Eligible Shareholders who apply for Additional Shares are
bound to accept a lesser number of Additional Shares than they applied for or may be allocated no
Additional Shares at all. In both cases, excess Application Monies will be refunded without interest.
The Company reserves the right to scale back any applications for Additional Securities in its
absolute discretion. When determining the amount (if any) by which to scale back an application,
the Company may take into account a number of factors, including but not limited to the size of an
Applicant’s shareholding in the Company, the extent to which an Applicant has sold or bought
Shares in the Company before and after both the announcement of the Offer and the Record Date,
as well as when the application was made.
8
For the avoidance of doubt, the prohibitions set out in section 606 of the Corporations Act on certain
acquisitions of relevant interests in voting shares will apply to limit the acquisition of Additional
Shares through the Top-Up Facility (as well as any other Shares issued under a Shortfall).
2.10
Shortfall Offer
If there remains any Shortfall after all Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements and all
Additional Shares are allocated, the Directors reserve the right for up to 3 months after the close of
the Offer to place any Shortfall at the Board's discretion, but at a price not less than the Issue Price
of $0.017 (1.7 cents) per New Share (Shortfall Offer).

Issue and despatch
The issue of New Shares offered by this Offer Document is expected to occur on 6 April 2023.
It is the responsibility of Applicants to determine their allocation prior to trading in the New Shares.
Applicants who sell New Shares without making such determination do so at their own risk.
The Company will have no responsibility and disclaims all liability (to the maximum extent permitted
by law) to persons who trade New Shares before the New Shares are listed on the official list of
ASX or before they receive their holdings statements, whether on the basis of confirmation of the
allocation provided by the Company, the Share Registry or otherwise.
2.13 ASX Listing
The Company will make an application for official quotation by ASX of the New Shares offered
under this Offer Document. If that permission is not granted by ASX, the Company will not issue
any New Shares and all Application Monies received will be refunded (without interest) in full to the
Applicants.
The fact that the ASX may grant official quotation to the New Shares is not to be taken in any way
as an indication of the merits of the Company or the New Shares. Neither the ASX nor any of its
officers accepts or takes any responsibility for the contents of this Offer Document.
It is expected that normal trading on the ASX will commence in relation to the New Shares on 11
April 2023.

2.14
CHESS
The Company will apply to the ASX to participate in CHESS for those Shareholders who have, or
wish to have, a sponsoring stockbroker. Shareholders who do not wish to participate through
CHESS will be issuer sponsored by the Company. Because the sub-registers are electronic,
ownership of securities can be transferred without having to rely upon paper documentation.
Electronic registers mean that the Company will not be issuing certificates to investors. Instead,
Shareholders will be provided with a statement (similar to a bank account statement) that sets out
the number of New Shares allotted to them under this Offer Document. The notice will also advise
Shareholders of their Holder Identification Number (HIN) and explain, for future reference, the sale
and purchase procedures for the New Shares under CHESS and issuer sponsorship.
Further monthly statements will be provided to Shareholders if there have been any changes in
their interest in the Company during the preceding month.
2.15
Ineligible Foreign Shareholders
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1 and Section 9A of the Corporations Act, the Company
has decided that it is unreasonable to make the Offer to any Shareholder with a registered address
outside Australia or New Zealand as at the Record Date (Ineligible Foreign Shareholder), having
regard to:
(a)
the number of Shareholders with addresses in such other countries as a proportion of total
Shareholders in the Company;
(b)
the number and value of the New Shares those Shareholders would be offered under the
Offer; and
(c)
the cost to the Company of complying with applicable legal and regulatory requirements in
such other countries.
To the extent that there are any Ineligible Foreign Shareholders registered at the Record Date, the
Company will send details of the Offer to each Ineligible Foreign Shareholder and advise each
Ineligible Shareholder that they will not be offered New Shares under the Offer.
2.16
Overseas shareholders
No action has been taken by the Company to register the New Shares or otherwise permit an
offering of the New Shares in any jurisdiction other than Australia or New Zealand. Eligible
Shareholders resident in Australia or New Zealand holding Shares on behalf of persons who are
resident overseas are responsible for ensuring that taking up
