Scheme Meeting of pSivida Limited: 6 June 2008 CHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to this important meeting of pSivida Limited shareholders to consider the proposed reincorporation of pSivida Limited into the United States of America (the Reincorporation). I am Dr. Paul Ashton, the Managing Director of pSivida Limited and Chairman of today's meeting, and, on behalf of my fellow directors, I thank you for taking the time to attend. A copy of my address will be posted on pSivida Limited’s website today and will be lodged with the ASX to provide access for as many shareholders as possible. There is a quorum present so I will now formally open this meeting of pSivida Limited shareholders. You have all have received a copy of the Notice of Meeting which was contained in the Information Memorandum dated 2 May 2008 which was sent to all shareholders. If there is no objection, I propose to take the Notice of Meeting as read. Extra copies of the Notice are available in the foyer. With me today are fellow representatives of the Company being Mr. Brian Leedman, Vice President of Investor Relations, Mr. Winton Willesee, the Secretary of the Company and Mr. Aaron Finlay, Consultant. Since today’s meeting is important for the Company's shareholders, I think it is worth recounting on the background to today’s meeting, prior to proceeding to the meeting’s formal business. During the past thirty six months, the Company has been implementing its previously articulated strategy of concentrating operations in the United States of America. As a result the Company has achieved significant milestones that have dramatically improved its financial and strategic position. We acquired Control Delivery Systems, a US corporation, including its ophthalmic products and technologies Pfizer became our largest stockholder and collaborative partner to develop ophthalmic products, MedidurTM FA for DME entered Phase III pivotal trials and is completely funded by our US collaborative partner, Alimera Sciences. We reported favourable results of Phase IIa trials for BrachySilTM for pancreatic cancer and will begin a Phase IIb trial shortly. We sold non-core businesses, restructured our organisation and located most of our operations in the US. Through our Pfizer and revised Alimera Sciences collaborations, we have significantly strengthened our financial position. As part of the Company's strategy of building a global drug delivery company and in order to make the Company a more attractive investment to its shareholders by increasing shareholder liquidity, it is proposed that the Company reincorporates in the United States of America with a primary listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market and continued listings on the Australian Stock Exchange and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. I note that the new US Company, New pSivida, Inc. changed its name to pSivida Corp. on 23 May 2008. So all references to New pSivida, Inc. in the Information Memorandum should be read as being references to pSivida Corp. Following the proposed Reincorporation, directors, executive officers, assets and operations of the Company are expected to remain the same and shareholders will have the same proportionate investment in pSivida Corp. CDIs and shares of common stock of the new US company, pSivida Corp. will be issued in exchange for ordinary shares and ADSs. However, each CDI and share of pSivida Corp. will represent 40 of our current shares or 4 of our current ADSs (as each ADS represents 10 shares). Along with the Reincorporation, we are also proposing a new ESOP (Employee Incentive Plan) which is in a form typical for US public companies and which provides important US tax benefits for the Company that are not provided in the Company's existing ESOP. The new ESOP will be implemented and replace the current ESOP only if the proposed Reincorporation is approved. The Board believes that an ESOP is an important tool to attract, motivate and retain key employees. An extraordinary general meeting to approve the new ESOP will be held following this Scheme Meeting. The Board of Directors has unanimously concluded that the proposed Reincorporation is in the best interests of shareholders and has unanimously recommended a vote in favour of approval. An Australia-based independent expert engaged to evaluate the proposed reincorporation has concluded that the proposed transaction is in the best interests of shareholders. The Information Memorandum dated 2 May 2008 which was sent to all shareholders contained the Directors’ recommendation, the reasons to vote in favour of the Reincorporation, and reasons not to vote in favour of the Reincorporation together with the Independent Expert's Report by Pitcher Partners. Additional copies of the Information Memorandum are available here today. As detailed in the Information Memorandum, the Reincorporation is subject to a number of conditions and will only be implemented if all of those conditions have been satisfied at the time that the Court is asked to approve the Reincorporation. One of those conditions is that the requisite majority of shareholders must approve the Reincorporation by passing the resolution to be considered at today's meeting. If shareholders approve the Reincorporation today, then we intend to seek Court approval of the Reincorporation in the Federal Court of Australia in Sydney on Tuesday 10 June 2008. The other conditions (apart from Court approval), either have been satisfied or are expected to be satisfied before the Court hearing. Should the Court approve the Reincorporation on that day, the Reincorporation will be implemented, and the Company will "re-domicile" in the United States. As you know, this is a shorthand description of the scheme which involves the following (in summary) – (a) all the shares in the Company being transferred to a new US company called pSivida Corp; (b) pSivida Corp. issuing shares/CDI's to the existing shareholders in the Company; (c) all of the assets and liabilities of the Company (including the options and warrants and the shares in subsidiaries held by the Company) being transferred by order of the Court to pSivida Corp; and (d) the Company being deregistered without a winding up by order of the Court. pSivida Limited’s shares are expected to cease trading on the ASX at the close of trading on 11 June 2008. On 12 June 2008, deferred settlement trading of CDI's will commence on ASX , and trading in the common stock of pSivida Corp. will commence on NASDAQ on a when-issued basis on that same day. pSivida Corp. will trade under the ticker PVA on the ASX. We expect that pSivida Corp. will trade on Nasdaq under the same symbol that pSivida Limited currently trades under on Nasdaq, being PSDV. On 4 June, pSivida announced a change to the indicative timetable contained in the Information Memorandum for the implementation of the Scheme. This change will have the effect that the deferred settlement trading of the CDIs on ASX will be extended from 19 June until 25 June. Otherwise the original timetable is unchanged. We are currently seeking to confirm when trading of pSivida Corp. common stock and CDIs will commence on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Although our published timetable indicated that such trading will commence on either June 11 or June 12, we are awaiting confirmation of whether it will be possible to trade common stock and CDIs on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on a deferred settlement basis as from either of those dates. We will update you on the date that trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange is expected to commence after receiving additional information. As set out in the Information Memorandum, a class ruling application has been lodged with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) seeking confirmation that the conditions for scrip for scrip rollover relief are satisfied and that rollover relief will be available in relation to the transfer of Shares from the Company to pSivida Corp. under the Scheme. The ruling application is currently being considered by the ATO and the final ruling has not yet been issued, although we expect that it will be issued fairly shortly. Shareholders will be advised once the final ruling has been issued. I would now like to continue with the formal business of the meeting to consider the resolution. Only people holding blue cards are able to vote and ask questions at today's meeting. Visitors holding a white card are not eligible to vote or speak at the meeting. People holding a yellow card are not eligible to vote but are eligible to speak at the meeting. Shareholders have been asked to consider, and if thought fit, pass the following resolution (Resolution): "That, pursuant to and in accordance with sections 411 and 413 of the Corporations Act, the Scheme, the terms of which are contained in and more particularly described in the Information Memorandum (which accompanies the notice convening this meeting), is approved (with or without modification as approved by the Federal Court of Australia)." For the Reincorporation to proceed and become effective, the Resolution must be approved by: a) (unless the Court orders otherwise), a majority in number (more than 50%) of pSivida Limited shareholders present and voting at the scheme meeting in person, by attorney, by proxy or, (in the case of corporate pSivida Limited shareholders) by authorised representative; and b) At least 75% of the total number of votes cast on the Reincorporation at the Scheme Meeting by pSivida Limited Shareholders in person, by attorney, by proxy or, (in the case of corporate pSivida Limited shareholders) by authorised representative. In order to accurately determine the votes, I will be calling for a poll to be conducted in respect of the resolution. Computershare will act as scrutineers and report the results of voting to me. The Corporations Act requires that the chair must inform the meeting whether any proxy votes have been received and how the proxy votes are to be cast. Accordingly, I report the following proxy votes received and how they are to be cast. Headcount Votes       Votes Cast     For   191   For   162,921,068 Against   12   Against   6,993,147 Abstain   2   Abstain   1,999,130 Open in favour ofthe Chairman   56   Open in favour ofthe Chairman   3,309,915 Total membersvoted   259   Total votes cast   173,246,701 Percentage infavour   95.37% infavour(including theopen proxieswhich I willbe voting infavour of theresolution)   Percentage infavour   95.96% infavour(including theopen proxieswhich I will bevoting in favourof theresolution) Voting procedure I would now like to summarize the voting procedure for the Resolution.

To vote, place a tick or a cross in the box on the card under the heading "for", "against" or "abstain", according to your wishes and indicate, if applicable, what percentage of your shares are voted in that way. If you are a proxy holder, you must vote only in accordance with instructions on the proxies already lodged with the Company. Proxies which do not direct how the vote is to be cast may be voted in favour or against the Resolution at the discretion of the proxy. This includes any open proxies given in favour of me as Chairman of the meeting. As indicated, I will cast any such open proxy votes given to me in favour of the Resolution.
