7 NuSep Ltd ABN EXPLANATORY STATEMENT This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to assist shareholders of the Company in understanding the business to be put to shareholders for their consideration at the General Meeting to be held at am on Friday 9 th September 2011 (Meeting). 1. Resolution 1: Approval of the Share Purchase Offer shares to Shareholders under the Prospectus dated 5 th July 2011 Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specific exceptions, issue or agree to issue during any 12 month period any equity securities or other securities with rights to conversion to equity (such as shares) if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period. The Company advised the market that it will issue up to 21,000,000 Shares at an issue price of 10 per Share under a Prospectus dated 5 th July This Share Purchase Offer (SPO) capital raising was open to all shareholders who held shares as at 6 th July The shares to be issued under this SPO will be fully paid ordinary shares issued on the same terms as the existing ordinary shares in the Company. In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3, the Company provides the following information: The number of securities to be allotted The price at which the securities will be issued Terms of the securities Names of allottees or basis on which allottees determined Date of issue and allotment of the Securities Up to 21,000, cents per share Fully paid ordinary shares ranking equally with fully paid ordinary shares already on issue in the Company The share purchase offer has been extended to all shareholders of the Company who held shares as at 6 July 2011, including the underwriters. (Issues to related parties are subject resolution 2 to 7) The securities will be issued and allotted within 3mths of the date of the General Meeting. Funds raised under this SPO will be used to: market the Gels and IQ software; partially fund the Singapore plasma project; and 7

8 general working capital purposes and to meet estimated expenses of the Offer. Ratification of this issue will allow the Company to issue further securities in the future up to the 15% threshold without the need to obtain shareholder approval. The SPO is open to all shareholders with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand. Recommendation: All directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution. 2. Resolutions 2 to 5 inclusive: Approval of Directors to participate in the Share Purchase Offer Shareholders are also requested to approve the Directors of NuSep to participate in the SPO for the shareholding that they hold in NuSep. As Directors are related parties under the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rule requires the Company to seek shareholder approval for the issue of shares to Directors or other related parties of the Company. Section 208 (1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) also provides that a Company is prohibited from giving a financial benefit to a related party without first obtaining shareholder approval.. The Board believes it is important that no group of shareholders should be excluded from the SPO and, as such, requests that shareholders consent to the Directors participating in the SPO on the identical terms as they are entitled to participate. In accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information regarding the share issues is set out below: The number of ordinary shares to be issued to each Director is set out in the table below. The table also shows the total interest of each Director in the Company after the share issue as set out in the table below: Name Number of Shares to be issued Total Interest of Director in Company after share issue * % of Issued Capital after share issue John Manusu 150,000 2,765,253 Shares Directly 2.9% 150, ,923 Shares Indirectly 0.7% Hari Nair 150,000 1,188,680 Shares Directly 1.3% Iain Sorrell 150,000 1,052,328 Shares Directly 1.1% William Spee 150, ,721 Shares Directly 0.3% 150,000 2,671,109 Shares Indirectly 2.8% Total 900,000 8,617,014 Shares 9.1% * Excludes any shares that may be issued under the SPO underwriting. 8

9 These shares will be issue at a price of 10 per share (representing a discount of approximately 28% from the market price on Thursday 14 th June 2011, being 14 per share). This represents the same pricing in which all of NuSep s shareholders can participate via the current SPO. The maximum number of fully paid ordinary shares to be issued to the Directors (in the aggregate) is 900,000. The individual Directors shares to be issued are outlined in the table above. Excludes any shares that may be issued under the SPO underwriting. If these resolutions are passed, the shares will then be issued within 1 month of the date of the General Meeting. The take up of the SPO shares by the Directors will provide additional cash to the Company at the rate of 10 per share taken up under the SPO. The monetary value of the proposed issue of 900,000 shares to the Directors in return for cash at 10 per share is $90,000. The Funds raised from the Directors will be used to: market the Gels and IQ software; partially fund the Singapore plasma project; and general working capital purposes and to meet estimated expenses of the Offer. The dilutionary effect of the 900,000 Share proposed to be issued to the Directors in return for cash of $90,000 will be 1.2% of the existing shares on issue. Currently there are 73,051,172 ordinary shares on issue. By allowing the Directors to participate in the SPO, the Company will receive $90,000 in cash if they take up their full SPO entitlement. The shares issued under resolution 2-5, if approved by shareholders, will rank equally with fully paid ordinary shares already on issue in the Company. None of the Directors have sold shares in the Company during the last six months, nor is there any expectation that they will sell any of the shares issued in accordance with the above resolutions in the near future. Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the ordinary shares to the Directors as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule The Board makes no recommendation as to resolutions 2 to 5 as each of the Directors has a material interest in the outcome of their resolutions. Each Director does not make a recommendation on their own motions. 3. Resolutions 6 & 7: Approval for issue of ordinary shares to the Directors pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement Under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001 a public company cannot give a financial benefit or a related party benefit unless one of the exceptions set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act 2001 applies or shareholders have, in general meeting approved the giving of that financial assistance. 9

10 Additionally, under ASX Listing Rule provides that unless one of the exceptions in ASX Listing Rule applies, an entity must not issue shares to Directors without the approval of holders of ordinary securities by ordinary resolution. Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the ordinary shares to the Directors as approval is being obtained under ASX Listing Rule The Company has entered into the Underwriting Agreement with a number of Existing Shareholders and Directors of the Company to underwrite the first $1.5 million of the Share Purchase Offer (SPO). If shareholders do not apply for the first $1.5 million of Shares under the SPO, the Directors and Existing Shareholders of the Company will subscribe for the shortfall. The Directors have underwritten $200,000 of the $1.5m SPO Underwritten Amount. Shareholders should note that the SPO Prospectus is not conditional on the approval of the Directors Underwriting Agreement by Shareholders. Should this Director Underwriting Agreement not be approved by Shareholders at the meeting on 9 th September 2011 the Directors underwriting amount of $200,000 would be cancelled leaving the Existing Shareholder underwriting amount of $1,300,000. Underwriting Agreement The Offer is partially underwritten by a number of Existing Shareholders of NuSep and the Directors of NuSep to $1.5 million. The Directors of NuSep who have agreed to Underwrite the SPO are Mr John Manusu and Dr Hari Nair. These Directors have agreed to underwrite $200,000 of the $1.5 million Underwriting Agreement as a sign of their commitment and support of the Company (Underwritten Amount). If the first $1.5 million of the SPO issue is not subscribed for, the underwriters, including the Directors, will subscribe for the shortfall. The Directors may therefore subscribe for, and be issued up to 2,000,000 ordinary shares. If no shareholders take up the SPO then the underwriters will be required to subscribe for the full $1.5 million of the underwriting commitment. In this case the Directors as a group would hold 11.0% of the expanded issued capital. See the table below: Current Shareholding Underwriting commitment 10 Underwriting Shares Total new Shareholding ^ % of Expanded Capital John 3,124,176 $100,000 1,000,000 4,124, % Manusu Hari Nair 1,038,680 $100,000 1,000,000 2,038, % Iain 902, , % Sorrell William 2,651, ,651, % Spee Total 7,717,014 $ 200,000 2,000,000 9,717, % ^ Excludes any shares that may be issued under the SPO. This table has been compiled on the basis that no shares are taken up under the SPO by Shareholders. In this situation the Underwriters would be required to subscribe $1.5m for

11 a total of 15 million Shares. The right hand column shows the maximum Director shareholding and percentage this represents of the expanded capital that each Director would hold in NuSep if no shares were acquired by Shareholders under the SPO. In this situation the Directors would hold and control 11.0% of NuSep s issued capital. The above shareholdings include associated and related parties to each of the Directors. The SPO is underwritten for the first $1.5m of the $2.1m offer, the balance of $0.6m is not underwritten. In accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.13, the following information regarding the share issues is set out below: Name of Person: Mr John Manusu and Dr Hari Nair. Director underwriting $200,000 out of a $1.5 million underwriting agreement. amount: Maximum number of securities to be issued to John Manusu Up to 1,000,000 ordinary shares. Dr Hair Nair Up to 1,000,000 ordinary shares. the Directors: Date of Issue: The issue of the ordinary shares will occur no later than 1 month after the date of this meeting. Issue Price: 10 per ordinary share (representing a discount of approximately 28% from the market price as at 14 June 2011, being 14 per share). Terms of securities: Fully paid ordinary shares which on issue will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares. Intended use of the The $200,000 funds raised will be used to market the Gels funds raised: and IQ software. Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a related party (including directors) of the company unless: i. the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions; or ii. prior Shareholder approval is obtained consenting to the giving of the financial benefits. For the purposes of Chapter 2E, each of the Directors are considered to be related parties of the Company. The proposed issue of ordinary shares to the Directors, pursuant to the SPO and the Underwriting Agreement, may constitute a financial benefit to a related party of the Company within the meaning of Chapter 2E. However, section 210 of the Corporations Act provides that shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required if the financial benefit is provided to the related party on terms that would be reasonable in the circumstances if the public company or entity and the related party were dealing at arm's length. 11

12 The Board has reasonably formed the view that the entry by the Directors into the Underwriting Agreement in this instance is reasonable in the circumstances as the Directors have accepted a lower underwriting fee than the other unrelated third parties to the underwriting agreement. This view has been further supported as the ordinary shares are to be offered to the public on the same basis as the ordinary shares under the Underwriting Agreement. The terms of the Underwriting Agreement are identical except for the share price, the type of securities to be issued and the amount of capital to be raised as the terms previously negotiated in relation to the Underwriting Agreement approved by shareholders at the General Meeting on Wednesday 14 th April Under this Underwriting Agreement the Directors may be issued with up to 2,000,000 ordinary shares with a value of 10 per ordinary share (representing a discount of approximately 28% from the market price as at 14 th June 2011, being 14 per share). In addition, the Directors will receive a fee for underwriting the rights issue of $10,000 in total ($5,000 to John Manusu and $5,000 to Hari Nair) The Directors have accepted an underwriting fee of 5%, which is less than the 6% underwriting fee required by the third party underwriters. As with the third party underwriters the directors will receive the underwriting fee irrespective of the shortfall that they are required to subscribe for. By agreeing to underwrite part of the rights issue the Directors are reducing the Company s liability to pay a higher underwriting fee. If third parties were to underwrite the whole amount, the Company would be required to pay the full 6% on the whole amount of $1.5 million. Accordingly the Board believes shareholder approval for the purpose of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not necessary but has elected to give the required disclosure as a sign of their commitment to Good Corporate Governance. 4. Resolution 8: Approve Issue of listed Bonus Share Options exercisable at 15 The Company is proposing to make a pro rata 1:2 bonus issue of 15 share options to all shareholders who hold shares on 30 th September It is proposed that these bonus share options will be listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. Strictly speaking the Board is not required to seek shareholder approval to undertake a bonus pro rata issue. While this is true at law, the NuSep Board believes that, as it has in the past, seeking shareholder ratification of its determination to raise capital by way of a bonus issue is appropriate as a measure of its desire to achieve the highest level of Good Corporate Governance. A Prospectus dated 5 th July 2011 relating to the proposed bonus share options was mailed to all shareholders on 6 th July This Prospectus set out the terms and conditions of the proposed bonus share options and shareholders are referred to this document. A summary of the terms of these share options is outlined below: 12

13 Maximum number of securities the entity is to issue: 47,025,586 share options. Date of Issue: The issue of the Bonus share options will occur no later than 3 months after the date of this meeting. Exercise Price: Exercise Price per Bonus Listed Share Option Basis on which investors will be identified or selected: Terms of securities: Intended use of the funds raised: The exercise price of the Bonus Share Options will be 15 per share option. The Bonus listed share options will be issued for nil consideration. 15 per bonus listed share option The Bonus issue will be made pro rata to all Shareholders on the basis of one Share Option for every two existing shares held on 30 th September If exercised, each Bonus Share Option will convert into one ordinary fully paid share that will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares. Given the inherent uncertainty of the amount that might be raised under the Bonus Share Options the Company is only able to provide a general outline of the use of these funds. NuSep proposes to use these funds: I. The first $1m raised to fund the SpermSep clinical trials; II. The next $500,000 will be used to market the Gels and IQ software; and III. The balance of any funds raised will be invested in the Singapore plasma project and general working capital. Quotation: Date of Allotment: The Company has applied to ASX for admission of the Bonus Share Options to official quotation. It is proposed that the allotment will take place within three months of the meeting date. Rights and liabilities attaching to NuSep 1:2 Bonus 15 Share Options The rights and liabilities attaching to the 1:2 Bonus 15 Share Options are outlined here for informational purposes only and are also included in the Prospectus dated 5 July These rights and liabilities will only become effective if NuSep Shareholders approve the issue of these share options at the General Meeting to be held on Friday 9 September Issue of Options The Directors on behalf of the Company may issue Options pursuant to the Prospectus dated 5 July 2011 subject to these conditions and to the provisions of the Constitution and the Corporations Act.
