Clinical trials could be terminated which will likely have a significant adverse affect on the Company, the value of its Securities and the future commercial development of its portfolio. • Regulatory and reimbursement approvals - Products developed using the Company’s technology must undergo a comprehensive and highly regulated development and review process before receiving approval for marketing. The process includes the provision of clinical data relating to the quality, safety and efficacy of the products for their proposed use. There is no guarantee regulatory approval will be obtained in relevant jurisdictions. Products may also be submitted for reimbursement approval. The availability and timing of that reimbursement approval may have an impact upon the uptake and profitability of products in some jurisdictions. • Commercialisation of products and potential market failure – The company’s products may prove difficult to manufacture on a large scale, uneconomical to market, unable to compete with products marketed by third parties or not be as attractive as alternative treatments. • Dependence upon key personnel – IMU depends on the talent and experience of its personnel as its primary asset. There may be a negative impact on Imugene if any of its key personnel leave. It may be difficult to replace them, or to do so in a timely manner or at comparable expense. • Arrangements with third-party collaborators - Imugene may pursue collaborative arrangements with pharmaceutical and life science companies, academic institutions or other partners to complete the development and commercialisation of its products. These collaborators may be asked to assist with funding or performing clinical trials, manufacturing, regulatory approvals or product marketing. There is no assurance that Imugene will attract and retain appropriate strategic partners or that any such collaborators will perform and meet commercialisation goals. If Imugene is unable to find a partner, it would be required to develop and commercialise potential products at its own expense. This may place significant demands on the Company’s internal resources and potentially delay the commercialisation of its products. • Risk of delay and continuity of operations - Imugene may experience delay in achieving a number of critical milestones, including securing commercial partners, completion of clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approvals, manufacturing, product launch and sales. Any material delays may impact adversely upon the Company, including the timing of any revenues under milestone or sales payments. Imugene may also experience business continuity problems arising from extreme events. As with most businesses, Imugene is reliant on IT systems in its day-to-day operations. An inability to operate such systems would impact the business. This might result, for example, from a computer virus or other cyber attack or from a physical event at its offices. • Competition - The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are intensely competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. A number of companies, both in Australia and abroad, are developing products that target the same markets that Imugene is targeting. • Requirement to raise additional funds - The Company may be required to raise additional equity or debt capital in the future. There is no assurance that it will be able to raise that capital when it is required or, even if available, the terms may be unsatisfactory. If the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining funds when they are required, the Company may need to delay or scale down its operations. • Growth - There is a risk that the Company may be unable to manage its future growth successfully. The ability to hire and retain skilled personnel as outlined above may be a significant obstacle to growth. • Intellectual property -The Company’s ability to leverage its innovation and expertise depends upon its ability to protect its intellectual property and any improvements to it. The intellectual property may not be capable of being legally protected, it may be the subject of unauthorised disclosure or be unlawfully infringed, or the Company may incur substantial costs in asserting or defending its intellectual property rights. 27 Key Risk Factors General investment risks • Investment risks - The price of the Shares might rise or fall and they might trade at prices below or above the Offer Price. There can also be no assurance that an active trading market will exist for the Shares. Factors affecting the price at which Imugene Shares are traded on ASX could include domestic and international economic conditions. In addition, the prices of a listed entity’s securities are affected by factors that might be unrelated to its operating performance, such as general market sentiment. • Macro economic risks - Imugene’s operating and financial performance is influenced by a variety of general economic and business conditions including the level of inflation, interest rates and government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies. Prolonged deterioration in general economic conditions, including an increase in interest rates, could be expected to have a corresponding adverse impact on the Company’s operating and financial performance. • Taxation risks - Changes to the rate of taxes imposed on Imugene (including in overseas jurisdictions in which Imugene operates now or in the future) or tax legislation generally may affect Imugene and its Shareholders. In addition, an interpretation of Australian tax laws by the Australian Taxation Office that differs to Imugene’s interpretation may lead to an increase in Imugene’s tax liabilities and a reduction in Shareholder returns. Personal tax liabilities are the responsibility of each individual investor. Imugene is not responsible either for tax or tax penalties incurred by investors. • Accounting standards - Australian accounting standards are set by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and are outside the Directors’ and Imugene’s control. Changes to accounting standards issued by AASB could materially adversely affect the financial performance and position reported in Imugene’s financial statements. • Litigation - There is a risk that the Company may in future be the subject of or required to commence litigation. There is, however, no litigation, mediation, conciliation or administrative proceeding taking place, pending or threatened against the Company.
