Key highlights:

-- The Company entered into a Warrant Instrument ("Warrant Instrument") with Incanthera on 26 February 2020, whereby Incanthera created and issued Warrants to ImmuPharma to subscribe in cash at GBP0.095 per share, for 7,272,740 Ordinary Shares, valid until 6 September 2023.

-- Incanthera has agreed with the Company to extend the Warrant Instrument by 12 months to 6 September 2024.

The Board of ImmuPharma has determined to treat the extension of the Warrants as a related party transaction. Mr McCarthy has not been involved in the ImmuPharma Board's decision to agree to the extension.

The Directors (excluding Mr McCarthy), having consulted with SPARK, the Company's nominated adviser, consider that the terms of the Warrant extension are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
