<P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>KAZIA ANNOUNCES RECEIPT OF NASDAQ MINIMUM BID NOTIFICATION </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Sydney, </B>November&nbsp;20, 2023 &#150; Kazia Therapeutics Limited (NASDAQ: KZIA ) (Kazia or the company) received a deficiency notification from the
Listing Qualifications Staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq), dated November&nbsp;20, 2023, notifying the company that it is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in the Nasdaq Capital Market&#146;s rules for
continued listing (the Notice). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The deficiency notification has no immediate impact on the company&#146;s operations or listing. Kazia&#146;s securities
will continue to trade as normal on Nasdaq Capital Market (Nasdaq <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">C-M)</FONT> under the ticker KZIA. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Nasdaq Listing Rule
5550(a)(2) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of at least US$ 1.00 per share, and failure to do so for a period of 30 consecutive business days triggers a deficiency notice. Based on the closing bid price of Kazia&#146;s
American Depository Shares, each representing ten ordinary shares of the company (the ADSs), for the period from October&nbsp;2, 2023 to November&nbsp;17, 2023, the company no longer met this requirement as of November&nbsp;17, 2023. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the company has 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until May&nbsp;20, 2024, to regain compliance,
during which time the company&#146;s securities will continue to trade as normal on <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Nasdaq-CM.</FONT> If at any time before May&nbsp;20, 2024, the bid price of the company&#146;s ADSs closes at or above US$ 1.00 per
share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the company will regain compliance with the minimum bid requirement. If the company does not regain compliance during this period, it may be eligible, upon satisfaction of certain Nasdaq
requirements, for an additional period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance or its securities may be subject to delisting from Nasdaq. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The company
will closely monitor the situation and intends to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>About Kazia Therapeutics
Limited </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Kazia Therapeutics Limited (NASDAQ: KZIA) is an oncology-focused drug development company, based in Sydney, Australia. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our lead program is paxalisib, a brain-penetrant inhibitor of the PI3K / Akt / mTOR pathway, which is being developed to treat multiple forms of brain cancer.
Licensed from Genentech in late 2016, paxalisib is or has been the subject of ten clinical trials in this disease. A completed Phase 2 study in glioblastoma reported promising signals of clinical activity in 2021, and a pivotal study, GBM AGILE, is
ongoing, with final data expected in CY2023. Other clinical trials are ongoing in brain metastases, diffuse midline gliomas, and primary CNS lymphoma, with several of these having reported encouraging interim data. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Paxalisib was granted Orphan Drug Designation for glioblastoma by the US Food and Drug Administration (US
FDA) in February 2018, Fast Track Designation for glioblastoma by the US FDA in August 2020. In addition, paxalisib was granted Rare Pediatric Disease Designation and Orphan Designation by the US FDA for DIPG in August 2020, and for atypical
teratoid / rhabdoid tumours in June 2022 and July 2022, respectively. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Kazia is also developing EVT801, a small-molecule inhibitor of VEGFR3, which was
licensed from Evotec SE in April 2021. Preclinical data has shown EVT801 to be active against a broad range of tumour types and has provided evidence of synergy with immuno-oncology agents. A Phase 1 study in advanced solid tumours commenced
recruitment in November 2021. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For more information, please visit <U>www.kaziatherapeutics.com</U> or follow us on Twitter @KaziaTx. </P>
