The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of all Resolutions.
Proxy voting by the Chairman
The Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Act
2011 (Cth), imposes prohibitions on Key Management Personnel and their Closely Related Parties from
voting their shares (or voting undirected proxies) on, amongst other things, remuneration matters.
However, the chair of a meeting may vote an undirected proxy (i.e. a proxy that does not specify how it is
to be voted), provided the Shareholder who has lodged the proxy has given an express voting direction to
the chair to exercise the undirected proxy, even if the resolution is connected with the remuneration of a
member of Key Management Personnel.
If you complete a Proxy Form that authorises the Chairman of the Meeting to vote on your behalf as proxy,
and you do not mark any of the boxes so as to give him directions about how your vote should be cast,
then you will be taken to have expressly authorised the Chairman to exercise your proxy on Resolution 1.
In accordance with this express authority provided by you, the Chairman will vote in favour of Resolution
1. If you wish to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, and you wish to direct him how to
vote, please tick the appropriate boxes on the Proxy Form.
The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of each item of
business.
If you appoint as your proxy any Director of the Company, except the Chairman, or any other Key
Management Personnel or any of their Closely Related Parties and you do not direct your proxy how to
vote Resolution 1, he or she will not vote your proxy on those resolutions.
6.
Corporate Representative
Any corporate Shareholder who has appointed a person to act as its corporate representative at the
Meeting should provide that person with a certificate or letter executed in accordance with the Corporations
Act authorising him or her to act as that company’s representative. The authority must be sent to the
Company and/or registry at least 24 hours in advance of the Meeting.

Resolution 4: EIP Capacity
5.1
Explanation
The Company seeks Shareholder approval to amend the Employee Incentive Plan (EIP) approved in 2020.
Currently, under clause 6(a)(vi) of the EIP, the Company is limited in the offering of awards to 5% of the
number of Shares on issue at the time of the offer.
Based on the current number of Shares on issue in the Company, the relatively low share price and the 5%
limit under the EIP, at the date of this meeting, the Company has issued awards equivalent to 4.9% of the
number of shares on issue or 98% of its eligible capacity.
The Company is seeking to free up capacity to be able to incentivise and reward key current and future
employees who are critical to delivering commercial outcomes and therefore value to shareholders.
Imagion Biosystems Limited | Explanatory Memorandum to Notice of Annual General Meeting | Page 10
Accordingly, the Company is proposing to amend clause 6(a)(vi) of the EIP to increase the limit on the
number of shares on issue to 10%. The Company is conscious of the labour conditions in the market and
typically relies on its EIP to attract top talent. The Company notes that by increasing the limit on the number
of Shares on issue at the time of offer, it will be able to make sufficient offers of awards under the EIP t
