</B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Kazia Therapeutics Limited (the &#147;Company&#148;) plans to change the ratio of its American Depositary Shares (&#147;ADSs&#148;)
to Ordinary Shares from one (1)&nbsp;ADS representing one hundred (100)&nbsp;Ordinary Shares to one (1)&nbsp;ADS representing five hundred (500)&nbsp;Ordinary Shares (the &#147;ADS Ratio Change&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The ADS Ratio Change will have the same effect as a
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-for-five</FONT></FONT> reverse ADS split for our ADS holders. There will be no change to our underlying Ordinary Shares, and no Ordinary Shares will be issued or cancelled in
connection with the ADS Ratio Change. The effect of the ratio change on the ADS trading price on the Nasdaq Capital Market is expected to take place at the opening of business on April&nbsp;17, 2025. Following the ADS Ratio Change, our ADSs will
continue to be traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol &#147;KZIA.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">No fractional new ADSs will be issued in
connection with the ADS Ratio Change. Instead, fractional entitlements to the new ADSs will be aggregated and sold by the depositary bank, and the net cash proceeds from the sale of the fractional ADS entitlements (after deduction of fees, taxes,
and expenses) will be distributed to the applicable ADS holders by the depositary bank. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a result of the ADS Ratio Change, the ADS
price is expected to increase proportionally, although the Company can give no assurance that the ADS price after the ADS Ratio Change will be equal to or greater than five times the ADS price before the ADS Ratio Change. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of the date hereof, the Company has an aggregate of 6,798,129 ADSs issued and outstanding. Immediately following the ADS Ratio Change, the
Company will have an aggregate of 1,359,625 ADSs issued and outstanding. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s Board of Directors approved the ADS Ratio
Change with the objective of maintaining compliance with the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share as outlined in the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The Company can give no assurance that this event will result in the Company maintaining compliance with
Nasdaq&#146;s minimum bid price requirement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company hereby incorporates by reference the information contained herein into the

statements in this Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">6-K-</FONT></FONT> that are forward-looking and not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements, which can generally be identified
as such by the use of words such as &#147;may,&#148; &#147;will,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;future,&#148; &#147;forward,&#148; &#147;anticipate,&#148; or other similar words. Any statement describing Kazia&#146;s future plans, strategies,
intentions, expectations, objectives, goals or prospects, and other statements that are not historical facts, are also forwardlooking statements, including, but not limited to, statements regarding: the timing for results and data related to
Kazia&#146;s clinical and preclinical trials, Kazia&#146;s strategy and plans with respect to its programs, including paxalisib and EVT801, the potential benefits of paxalisib as an investigational PI3K/mTOR inhibitor, timing for any regulatory
submissions or discussions with regulatory agencies, the potential market opportunity for paxalisib, and the ADS Ratio Change. Such statements are based on Kazia&#146;s current expectations and projections about future events and future trends
affecting its business and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, including risks and uncertainties: associated with clinical and
preclinical trials and product development, related to regulatory approvals, and related to the impact of global economic conditions. These and other risks and uncertainties are described more fully in Kazia&#146;s Annual Report, filed on form <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">20-F</FONT> with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;), and in subsequent filings with the SEC. Kazia undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether
as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required under applicable law. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. </P>
