As a condition of the undersigned employee (the “Employee”) becoming employed by, or continuing employment with, Propanc Pty Ltd, an Australian corporation (the “ Company ”), and in consideration of his employment with the Company and his receipt of the compensation now and hereafter paid to him by the Company, the Employee agree to the following. All initially capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Employment Agreement between the Company and the Employee, dated June 24, 2019 (the “Employment Agreement”).

Section 1. Confidential Information. (a) Company Group Information . The Employee acknowledges that, during the course of his employment, he will have access to non-public information about the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the “ Company Group ”) and that his employment with the Company shall bring him into close contact with confidential and proprietary information of the Company Group. In recognition of the foregoing, the Employee agrees, at all times during the term of his employment with the Company and for the five (5) year period following the termination of his employment for any reason, to hold in confidence, and not to use, except for the benefit of the Company Group, or to disclose to any person, firm, corporation, or other entity without written authorization of the Company or except as expressly permitted herein, any Confidential Information that the Employee obtains or creates. The Employee further agrees not to make copies of such Confidential Information except as authorized by the Company, or except as permitted herein, or as otherwise necessary to fulfill his duties to the Company Group. For the purposes hereof, “ Confidential Information ” means information that the Company Group has developed, acquired, created, compiled, discovered, or owned or will develop, acquire, create, compile, discover, or own, that has value in or to the business of the Company Group that is not generally known and that the Company wishes to maintain as confidential. The Employee understands that Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, any and all non-public information that relates to the actual or anticipated business and/or products, research, or development of the Company Group, or to the Company Group’s technical data, trade secrets, or know-how, including, without limitation, research and development work, therapy an drug plans and proposals, or other information regarding the Company Group’s drugs, therapies, services and markets, patient, supplier, manufacturer, customer and investor lists, and patients, suppliers, manufacturers, customers and investors (including, without limitation, such persons on whom the Employee called or with whom he may become acquainted during the term of his employment), software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, data, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing, finances, and other business information disclosed by the Company Group either directly or indirectly in writing, orally, or by drawings or inspection of premises, parts, equipment, or other Company property.

MELBOURNE, Australia – June 24, 2019 — Propanc Biopharma, Inc.

Mr. Campiciano brings significant experience to the Company across a broad range of financial disciplines in the healthcare sector, including taxation, finance, operations, planning and financial strategy.

“As we progress towards submitting a clinical trial application (“CTA”) for our First-In-Human (“FIH”) study for PRP, we are turning our attention to the next phase in our development as a clinical stage company, and are very pleased to welcome Carlo’s proven experience and capabilities,” said Mr. James Nathanielsz, Propanc’s Chief Executive Officer. “He was a CFO in an executive team that successfully launched a medical technology company, raised several rounds of capital, and listed the medical technology company on the Australian Securities Exchange in 2015. He was instrumental in the strategic and operational development of the medical technology company, which included overseeing the expansion of its operations to be a market leader in Australia and established the business in the USA and Asia.” Mr. Nathanielsz continued, “I look forward to working with Carlo during this transformational stage for Propanc, as we plan to submit the CTA in the fourth calendar quarter of 2019, followed by commencing a FIH Phase Ib study for PRP in the first half of 2020 calendar year, with the goal of up-listing to a U.S. national stock exchange. I have great confidence he is going to be a tremendous asset to our team.”

He is also a member of the Australian Institute of Public Accountants and is U.S. GAAP certified.

“I am thrilled to join Propanc as its Chief Financial Officer, as the Company prepares to test the development of PRP in a clinical setting as a long-term therapy for the treatment and prevention of metastatic cancer,” said Mr. Campiciano. “This is an exciting time to join the talented Propanc management team and extends my involvement with Propanc from that of an external advisor for more than 10 years, to having a real influence in shaping the future of the business as Chief Financial Officer. I believe my skills and experience with high growth businesses will be valuable in contributing to the next phase of the company’s growth and evolution.”

Prior to his time at the Australian medical technology company, Mr. Campiciano spent a number of years as the CFO of a startup business which grew from an annual turnover of $2 million to over $40 million.
