The Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules

However, votes will not be disregarded if they
are cast as proxy for a person entitled to vote
on Resolution 1:
• in accordance with a direction on the proxy

way.
Further, the Company will disregard a vote in
favour of Resolution 3 as a proxy by a person

does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on
the Resolution, unless:

the Chairman to exercise the proxy even

Starpharma Holdings Limited Notice of Meeting 2025 6
Important voting information
The Company encourages all Shareholders who
submit proxies to direct their proxy how to vote
on the Resolutions. All Resolutions will be
voted on by poll.
Proxies
A Shareholder has the right to appoint a proxy,
who need not be a Shareholder of the
Company.
If a Shareholder is entitled to cast two or more
votes, they may appoint two proxies and may
specify the percentage or number of votes each
proxy is appointed to exercise. The Proxy Form
should be returned and must be received by no
later than 2.00 pm (Melbourne time) on 12
November 2025 to the share registry of the
Company as follows:
Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited:
By mail:
GPO Box 242
Melbourne VIC 3001
By facsimile: 1800 783 447.
Shareholders may lodge proxies electronically
through the share registry of the Company via:
www.investorvote.com.au using your secure
access information or use your mobile device
to scan your personalised QR code on the proxy
form.
For Intermediary Online subscribers only
(custodians):
www.intermediaryonline.com.
If a Proxy Form is signed on behalf of a
Shareholder under a power of attorney, then
either the original power of attorney, or a
certified copy of it, must be lodged with the
Proxy Form (before the deadline for the
lodgement of proxies), unless the power of
attorney has already been sighted by
Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited.
A proxy may decide whether to vote on any item
of business or other resolution put before the
Meeting, except where the proxy is required by
law or the Company's constitution to vote or
abstain from voting in their capacity as proxy. If
the proxy's appointment directs the proxy how
to vote on an item of business, the proxy may
vote on that item only in accordance with the
direction. If the proxy's appointment does not
direct the proxy how to vote on an item of
business or any other resolution before the
Meeting, the proxy may vote as he or she thinks
fit on that item or resolution.
Appointment of corporate representatives
A body corporate that is a Shareholder and
entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting, or
that has been appointed as a proxy of a
Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the
Meeting may appoint an individual to act as its
representative at the Meeting.
The appointment must comply with section
250D of the Corporations Act.
The representative must provide to the
Company adequate evidence of his or her
appointment by 2.00 pm (Melbourne time) on
12 November 2025, including any authority
under which the appointment is signed, unless
that evidence has previously been provided to
the share registry of the Company,
Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited.
Starpharma Holdings Limited Notice of Meeting 2025 7
Appointing the Chairman of the Meeting as
your proxy
The Proxy Form accompanying this Notice of
Meeting contains detailed instructions
regarding the completion of the Proxy Form in
circumstances where a Shareholder wishes to
appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as his or
her proxy.
You should read those instructions carefully.
• By appointing the Chairman of the Meeting
as your proxy in relation to any Resolutions,
you expressly authorise the Chairman to
exercise your vote on those Resolutions,
including Resolutions 1 and 3, which are
connected directly or indirectly with the
remuneration of members of the KMP
(which, in respect of Resolution 1, includes
the Chairman) unless:
o you have directed the Chairman how to
vote on the resolutions by marking the
appropriate box at Step 2 of the Proxy
Form; or
o you are a member of the KMP or a
Closely Related Party of such a member
of the KMP.
• The Chairman of the Annual General
Meeting intends to vote all undirected
proxies in favour of each Resolution. In
respect of Resolutions 1 and 3, if the
Chairman of the Meeting is appointed as
your proxy and you have not specified the
way the Chairman is to vote on Resolutions
1 and 3, by signing and returning the Proxy
Form, you are considered to have provided
the Chairman with an express authorisation
to vote the proxy in accordance with the
Chairman’s intention, despite the fact that
the resolution is related to the
remuneration of a KMP or Closely Related
Party of a KMP.
• If you do not wish the Chairman of the
Meeting to exercise the proxy in accordance
with the Chairman’s stated voting
intentions on a Resolution, you should
ensure that a box is clearly marked with
your voting direction against each of the
Resolutions in the Proxy Form.
Shareholders should refer to the notes above
for information regarding voting restrictions.
Voting by proxy holders
Under the Corporations Act:
• if proxy holders vote, they must vote all
directed proxies as directed; and
• any directed proxies that are not voted will
automatically default to the Chairman, who
must vote the proxies as directed.
In respect of Resolutions 1 and 3, if your proxy
is a KMP (other than the Chairman), or a Closely
Related Party of a KMP, provided you are not a
KMP or a Closely Related Party of a KMP, the
person may still vote as your proxy provided you
have directed your proxy on the Proxy Form how
to vote by marking the voting boxes for those
Resolutions and your proxy does vote as
directed.
Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to
vote
Section 250BB of the Corporations Act provides
that an appointment of a proxy may specify the
way the proxy is to vote on a particular
resolution and, if it does:
• the proxy need not vote on a show of hands,
but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote
that way;
• if the proxy has two or more appointments
that specify different ways to vote on a
resolution – the proxy must not vote on a
show of hands;
• if the proxy is the Chairman at which the
resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote
on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e., as
directed); and
• if the proxy is not the Chairman – the proxy
need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy
does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e.,
as directed).
Starpharma Holdings Limited Notice of Meeting 2025 8
Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain
circumstances
Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides
that, if:
• an appointment of a proxy specifies the way
the proxy is to vote on a particular
resolution at a meeting of the company's
shareholders; and
• the appointed proxy is not the Chairman;
and
• at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on
the resolution; and
• either of the following applies:
o the proxy is not recorded as attending
the meeting; or
o the proxy does not vote on the
resolution,
the Chairman is taken, before voting on the
resolution closes, to have been appointed as
the proxy for the purposes of voting on the
resolution at that meeting.
Conduct of the Meeting if impacted by
technical or other difficulties
The Chairman has discretion as to whether and
how the Meeting should proceed in the event
that technical difficulty arises in respect of the
online meeting platform or in the event of a
physical emergency or direction that impacts
the in-person attendees. In exercising this
discretion, the Chairman will have regard to the
number of Shareholders impacted and the
extent to which participation in the business of
the Meeting is affected.
Where the Chairman considers it appropriate,
the Chairman may continue to hold the Meeting
and transact business, including conducting a
poll and voting in accordance with valid proxy
instructions. For this reason, Shareholders are
encouraged to lodge a proxy in advance of the
Meeting, even if they plan to attend in person or
online.
Electronic voting is permitted by the
Company’s constitution and under applicable
laws governing the Meeting.
Receipt of Electronic notice under the
Corporations Amendment (Meetings and
Documents) Act 2022
The Corporations Act (as a result of the
Amendment (Meetings and Documents) Act
2022 (Cth)) includes a requirement for public
companies and listed companies to give their
shareholders notice of their right to elect to be
sent documents electronically or physically by
the Company in section 110K of the
Corporations Act. There are options available to
Shareholders as to how you receive

Starpharma Holdings Limited Notice of Meeting 2025 9
Explanatory Memorandum
Starpharma Holdings Limited ABN 20 078 532 180
This Explanatory Memorandum has been
prepared to assist Shareholders with their
consideration of the Resolutions to be put to
the Annual General Meeting on Friday, 14
November 2025. This Explanatory
Memorandum should be read with and form
part of the accompanying Notice of Meeting.
Terms and expressions used in this Explanatory
Memorandum, the Notice of Meeting and the
Proxy Form have the meaning given to them in
the ‘Definitions’ section located at the end of
this Explanatory Memorandum.
Financial Statements and Reports
The Corporations Act requires the Annual
Financial Report of the Company (which
includes the Financial Statements and
Directors’ Declaration), the Directors' Report
(which includes the Remuneration Report) and
the Auditor's Report in respect of the financial
year ended on 30 June 2025 to be put before the
Annual General Meeting. There will be an
opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions
and comment on these documents and on the
business, operations and management of the
Company. No resolution is required to be
passed on this item.
The Starpharma Annual Report for the year
ended 30 June 2025 is available on
Starpharma’s website at
www.starpharma.com. Hard copies of the
report are distributed only to those
Shareholders who have elected to receive it in
printed form.
Shareholders will also have the opportunity to
ask the auditor or their representative
questions relating to the conduct of the audit,
the preparation and content of the Auditor’s
Report, the accounting policies adopted by the
Company in relation to the preparation of the
financial statements, and the independence of
the auditor. Shareholders may also submit
written questions to the auditor in respect of
the Auditor’s Report or the conduct of the audit.
The questions should be received by the
Company no later than 5 business days before
the meeting.
Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration
Report
The Corporations Act requires publicly listed
companies to disclose certain information
relating to the remuneration of Directors and
executives.
This disclosure is contained in a separate
section of the Directors’ Report called the
Remuneration Report (Remuneration Report),
which is set out on pages 23 to 43 of the Annual
Report for the year ended 30 June 2025.
In compliance with section 300A of the
Corporations Act, the Remuneration Report
sets out the Company's policy for determining
the nature and amount of remuneration for the
Directors and specified executive officers of the
Company.
Starpharma designs its remuneration strategy
to align executive and employee interests with
those of shareholders. In framing
its remuneration strategy, the Board is
conscious that Starpharma only has a small
number of employees (~40) so endeavours
to keep its remuneration relatively
straightforward. Starpharma’s remuneration
strategy is influenced by the need to attract
specialists in pharmaceutical development and
commercialisation, as well as the fact that
Starpharma operates in a global
pharmaceutical industry environment.
The remuneration structure comprises fixed
remuneration, short-term incentives (STI) in
both cash and equity and equity-based long-
term incentives (LTI). Starpharma’s
remuneration structure is transparent and
based on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs),
which are designed to align with the interests of
Starpharma Holdings Limited Notice of Meeting 2025 10
Shareholders and to reward performance
across multi-year timeframes related to
product development value-adding milestones.
In some cases, the Board may exercise
discretion to take account of events and
circumstances not envisaged. All allocations of
equity to the CEO are approved by
Shareholders at each AGM.
The Corporations Act requires publicly listed
companies to put their Remuneration Report
for each financial year to a resolution of
members at the Company’s Annual General
Meeting.
Under section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act,
the vote is advisory only and does not bind the
Directors or the Company. Notwithstanding the
‘advisory’ nature of the vote on the
Remuneration Report, the Directors will take
the outcome of the vote into account when
reviewing the remuneration practices and
policies of the Company.
In accordance with Section 250SA of the
Corporations Act, Shareholders will be
provided with a reasonable opportunity to ask
questions concerning, or make comments on,
the Remuneration Report at the Annual General
Meeting.
The Corporations Act requires the Company to
put a resolution to Shareholders in accordance
with Division 9 of Part 2G.2 of the Corporations
Act, if twenty five (25%) per cent or more of
votes that are cast are voted against the
adoption of the Remuneration Report at two
consecutive Annual General Meetings,
Shareholders will be required to vote at the
second of those Annual General Meetings on a
resolution (a spill resolution) that another
meeting be held within 90 days at which all of
the Company’s Directors (other than the
Managing Director) must go up for re-election.
It is noted that at the Company’s last Annual
General Meeting, the votes cast against the
Remuneration Report represented less than
twenty-five (25%) per cent of the total votes
cast and accordingly, a spill resolution will not
under any circumstances be required for the
Annual General Meeting.
Board Recommendation
The Board considers that the Company’s
remuneration policies and practices are
appropriate for its strategy, stage of
development, size, and industry, and are
competitive with the external market.
Noting that each Director has a personal
interest in their own remuneration from the
Company (as such interests are described in
the Remuneration Report) and, as described in
the voting exclusions on this resolution (set out
in the Notice of AGM), that each Director (or any
Closely Related Party of a Director) is excluded
from voting their shares on this resolution, the
Directors unanimously recommend that
Shareholders vote in FAVOUR of Resolution 1.
The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote
undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.
Resolution 2 – Re-Election of Dr Jeff
Davies
In accordance with clause 65.1 of the
Company’s constitution and ASX Listing
Rule 14.4, a Director must not hold office
(without re-election) past the third annual
general meeting following the director's
appointment, or three years, whichever is
longer.
Dr Davies retires by rotation in accordance with
clause 65.1 of the Company’s constitution and
ASX Listing Rule 14.4, and being eligible, offers
himself for re-election as a Director.
Dr Davies has more than 35 years of
biopharmaceutical industry experience,
including senior executive roles at CSL. His
positions at CSL included Executive Vice
President & General Manager, Asia-Pacific,
where he had full P&L responsibility across
pharmaceuticals, plasma, vaccines, and
diagnostics in Australia, New Zealand, China,
and the broader Asia Pacific region.
Starpharma Holdings Limited Notice of Meeting 2025 11
Dr Davies was part of CSL’s due diligence
teams, which led to the acquisitions of the
plasma fractionation businesses of Swiss Red
Cross (2000) and Aventis Behring (2003), thus
transforming CSL into the global company, CSL
Behring. As Global Head of Plasma Product
R&D at CSL Behring, he led development of key
products, notably the multi-billion-dollar
immunoglobulin therapy, Privigen®. Dr Davies
is a founding director of the Centre for
Biopharmaceutical Excellence, a
pharmaceutical consulting firm, and CBE Pure
Solutions, a specialist provider of sterile fill-
