Senior Advisor

ASX Limited

Perth WA 6000

Dear Mr. Baggott:

On behalf of Unilife Corporation (“Unilife” or “Company”) (NASDAQ: UNIS; ASX: UNS), I am pleased to attach the Appendix 4C for the fiscal 2013 first quarter.

Due to severe weather conditions and expected power outages in the Northeastern United States, which have resulted in the closure of the US financial markets, Unilife has rescheduled the release of its fiscal 2013 first quarter results so that it coincides with the filing of the Form 10-Q with the US Securities & Exchange Commission on Thursday, November 8, 2012 at 4:05 pm (US Eastern Standard Time). Unilife will subsequently release these documents onto the ASX platform prior to the opening of the market on Friday, November 9, 2012.

Unilife’s conference call with analysts will occur on Thursday, November 8, 2012 at 4:30 pm (US Eastern Standard Time) (Friday, November 9, 2012 at 8:30 am AEDT). The conference call will be broadcast over the Internet as a “live” listen only webcast. To listen, please go to: http://ir.unilife.com/events.cfm. Listeners are urged to login approximately 20 minutes before the conference call is scheduled to begin in order to register and to download and install any necessary audio software. An archive of the webcast will be available on the Company’s website.

Shareholders seeking an update on Unilife prior the November 8th conference call are encouraged to refer to a two-part video interview series conducted with an analyst from Griffin Securities, Inc. that was released by the Company last week. The video interviews and associated transcripts are available on the Unilife website at www.unilife.com. The videos are also available on YouTube: video 1: http://youtu.be/X-LbVnzk1W0; and video 2: http://youtu.be/tDTeWn6UJLQ.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Jeff Carter, our ASX Liaison Officer, at +61 2 8346 6500.

Sincerely,
