LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
I invite you to join our Board and
management team at Immutep s Annual General Meeting (AGM) to be held on Friday, 16 November 2018, in Sydney. An agenda for the AGM accompanies this letter and the business of the AGM is set out in the enclosed Notice of Annual General Meeting
and Explanatory Statement.
This will be my first AGM as your Chairman and the first as Immutep, after the Company name change approved at last
year s meeting. At the time, we felt that the new name would resonate well with our industry stakeholders as many of our clinical partner associations are with Immutep and several patents remain registered under the Immutep name.
We also believe that the name Immutep has assisted in strengthening the association of our Company with Lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG-3), given
Immutep s strong historic association with LAG-3 and its founder, our Chief Scientist and Chief Medical Officer, Dr Frederic Triebel. There is strong evidence that LAG-3, in which we are the global leader, could play a significant role in
potential new novel immuno-oncology combination therapies as well as in autoimmune diseases.
Our new collaborations entered into this year with some of
the world s largest pharmaceutical companies and data we presented at different conferences all speak to the growing importance of LAG- 3. In March we signed a collaboration and supply agreement with Merck & Co., Inc., Kenilworth, NJ,
USA (known as MSD outside the United States and Canada), to commence a new Phase II clinical trial called TACTI-002. The TACTI-002 trial will evaluate the combination of our lead product candidate eftilagimod alpha ( efti or
IMP321 ) with MSD s anti-PD-1 therapy KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab) in three different clinical settings (NSCLC 1st and 2nd line and HNSCC 2nd line).
Furthermore, in September we entered into a separate clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement with Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany and Pfizer Inc., to
evaluate the combination of efti with avelumab, a human anti-PD-L1 antibody, in patients with advanced solid malignancies. These new collaborations further support our hypothesis of a potentially meaningful therapeutic benefit combining efti with a
checkpoint inhibitor in the treatment of cancer.
These two new partnerships build on the three established partnerships we have in place for development
of LAG-3 product candidates with large pharmaceutical companies: GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), Novartis and Eddingpharm.
During the year we also added to our
funding capacity. Firstly through a share Placement in March 2018, which brought two major Australian institutional investors, Australian Ethical Investment and Platinum Asset Management to our register, and was further supported by former Chairman
Lucy Turnbull, AO and Ridgeback Capital. Secondly, through a share purchase plan in April 2018 for which we are grateful to our shareholders for their support. The total proceeds from these financing activities were A$13.16 million, meaning Immutep
has a cash reach into the second quarter of FY2020.
Fundamentally, Immutep s success will be driven by the clinical data that emerges from our trials and those of our
pharma partners, as pictured in our most recent pipeline chart below.
As you can see, terrific progress has been made over the past year. The strong operational and business development
progress gives me and the rest of the Board tremendous confidence in the prospects of our Company and we believe, has positioned us well for further success in the years ahead.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank you, our shareholders, for your continued support. I look forward to updating you on further progress in the
