 Exhibit 4.12 
 FORM OF SUBSCRIPTION AGENT AGREEMENT 
 This Subscription Agent
Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of March [    ], 2012 by and among Marshall Edwards, Inc. (the “ Company”), Computershare Inc., a Delaware corporation and its fully owned subsidiary Computershare
Trust Company, N.A., a national banking (collectively, the “Agent” or individually “Computershare” and the “Trust Company”, respectively). All terms not defined herein shall have the meaning given in the prospectus (the
“Prospectus”) included in the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-179590) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2012, as amended by any amendment filed with respect thereto
(the “Registration Statement”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company proposes to make a subscription offer by issuing certificates
or other evidences of subscription rights, in the form designated by the Company (the “Subscription Certificates”) to shareholders of record, which shall include holders of Series A warrants (the “Shareholders”) of units
(“Units”) consisting of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00000002 per share (“Common Stock”) and warrants to purchase additional shares of Common Stock, as of a record date specified by the Company (the
“Record Date”), pursuant to which each Shareholder will have certain rights (the “Rights”) to subscribe for Units, as described in and upon such terms as are set forth in the Prospectus, a final copy of which has been or, upon
availability will promptly be, delivered to the Agent; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company wishes the Agent to perform certain acts on
behalf of the Company, and the Agent is willing to so act, in connection with the distribution of the Subscription Certificates and the issuance and exercise of the Rights to subscribe therein set forth, all upon the terms and conditions set forth
herein. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as
follows: 
  

	1.	Appointment. 

 The
Company hereby appoints the Agent to act as subscription agent in connection with the distribution of Subscription Certificates and the issuance and exercise of the Rights in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement and the Agent hereby
accepts such appointment. 
  

	2.	Form and Execution of Subscription Certificates. 

 A. Each Subscription Certificate shall be irrevocable and non-transferable, other than distributions by a stockholder to its own stockholders, members or general or limited partners. The Agent shall, in
its capacity as Transfer Agent of the Company, maintain a register of Subscription Certificates and the holders of record, including holders of Series A warrants, thereof (each of whom shall be deemed a “Shareholder” hereunder for purposes
of determining the rights of holders of Subscription Certificates). Each Subscription Certificate shall, subject to the provisions thereof, entitle the Shareholder in whose name it is recorded to the following: 

(1) With respect to Record Date Shareholders only, the right to acquire during the Subscription Period, as defined in the Prospectus, at
the Subscription Price, as defined in the Prospectus, one Unit for every one Right (the “Basic Subscription Right”). Each Unit shall consist of 0.50 shares of Common Stock and a warrant for the purchase of an additional 0.25 shares of
Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, the Units are not separate securities and no separate certificates representing the Units will be delivered to Shareholders; and 
 (2) With respect to Record Date Shareholders only, the right to subscribe for additional Units (the “Over-Subscription Privilege”), subject to the availability of such Units and to the allotment
of such Units as may be available among Record Date Shareholders who exercise Over-Subscription Rights on the basis specified in the Prospectus; provided, however, that such Record Date Shareholder has exercised all of its Basic Subscription Rights,
except those Rights distributed by a Record Date Shareholder to its own stockholders, members or general or limited partners. 

 B. The Agent shall create a special account for the issuance of shares of Common Stock and
warrants to shareholders who have exercised the Rights. Prior to the issuance of Common Stock and warrants as set forth herein, the Company shall provide an opinion of counsel to set up reserve of shares. The opinion shall state that all shares are:

 (1) Registered, or subject to a valid exemption from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and all
appropriate state securities law filings have been made with respect to the shares; and 
 (2) Validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable. 
  

	3.	Rights and Issuance of Subscription Certificates. 

 A. Each Subscription Certificate shall evidence the Rights of the Shareholder therein named to purchase Units upon the terms and conditions therein and herein set forth. 

B. Upon the written advice of the Company, signed by any of its duly authorized officers, as to the Record Date, the Agent shall, from a
list of the Company Shareholders as of the Record Date to be prepared by the Agent in its capacity as Transfer Agent of the Company, prepare and record Subscription Certificates in the names of the Shareholders, setting forth the number of Rights to
subscribe for the Company’s Common Stock calculated on the basis of one Right for each share of Common Stock recorded on the books in the name of each such Shareholder as of the Record Date, and in the case of holders of the Company’s
Series A warrants, one Right for each share of Common Stock underlying such warrants, as set forth in a schedule to be provided to the Agent by the Company prior to the Record Date. The number of Rights that are issued to Record Date Shareholders
will be rounded down, by the Agent, to the nearest whole number of Rights as fractional Rights will not be issued. Each Subscription Certificate shall be dated as of the Record Date and shall be executed manually or by facsimile signature of a duly
authorized officer of the Subscription Agent. Upon the written advice, signed as aforesaid, as to the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Agent shall promptly countersign and deliver the Subscription Certificates, together with a copy
of the Prospectus, instruction letter and any other document as the Company deems necessary or appropriate, to all Shareholders with record addresses in the United States (including its territories and possessions and the District of Columbia).
Delivery shall be by first class mail (without registration or insurance), except for those Shareholders having a registered address outside the United States (who will only receive copies of the Prospectus, instruction letter and other documents as
the Company deems necessary or appropriate, if any), delivery shall be by air mail (without registration or insurance), or by other method as approved by both the Agent and the Company, and by first class mail (without registration or insurance) to
those Shareholders having APO or FPO addresses. No Subscription Certificate shall be valid for any purpose unless so executed. 

C. The Agent will mail a copy of the Prospectus, instruction letter, a special notice and other documents as the Company deems necessary
or appropriate, if any, but not Subscription Certificates to Record Date Shareholders whose record addresses are outside the United States (including its territories and possessions and the District of Columbia ) (“Foreign Record Date
Shareholders”). The Rights to which such Subscription Certificates relate will be held by the Agent for such Foreign Record Date Shareholders’ accounts until the Agent receives instructions to exercise such Rights. 

 

	4.	Exercise. 

 A.
Record Date Shareholders may acquire Units pursuant to their Basic Subscription Rights and pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege by delivery to the Agent as specified in the Prospectus of (i) the Subscription Certificate with respect
thereto, duly executed by such Shareholder in accordance with and as provided by the terms and conditions of the Subscription Certificate, together with (ii) the Subscription Price for the Units subscribed for by exercise of such Rights, in
U.S. dollars by money order or check drawn on a bank in the United States, in each case payable to the order of Computershare. 

B. Rights may be exercised at any time after the date of issuance of the Subscription Certificates with respect thereto but no later than
5:00 P.M. New York time on such date as the Company shall designate to the Agent in writing (the “Expiration Date”). For the purpose of determining the time of the exercise of any Rights, delivery of any material to the Agent shall be
deemed to occur when such materials are received at the Shareholder Services Division of the Agent specified in the Prospectus. 

 C. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 4(A) and 4(B) regarding delivery of an
executed Subscription Certificate to the Agent prior to 5:00 P.M. New York time on the Expiration Date, if prior to such time the Agent receives (i) the Subscription Price for the Units subscribed for pursuant to any exercise of Rights and
(ii) a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery substantially in the form delivered to Record Date Shareholders together with the Subscription Certificate by facsimile (telecopy) or otherwise from a bank, a trust company or a New York Stock Exchange
member guaranteeing delivery of a properly completed and executed Subscription Certificate within three (3) Business Days following the date of submission of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, then such exercise of Basic Subscription Rights and
the Over-Subscription Privilege shall be regarded as timely, subject, however, to receipt of the duly executed Subscription Certificate. For the purposes of the Prospectus and this Agreement, “Business Day” shall mean any day on which
trading is conducted on the Nasdaq Capital Market. 
 D. As soon as practicable after the Expiration Date, Computershare shall
send to each exercising shareholder (or, if shares of Common Stock on the Record Date are held by Cede & Co. or any other depository or nominee, to Cede & Co. or such other depository or nominee) a confirmation showing the number
of shares of Common Stock and warrants acquired pursuant to the Basic Subscription Rights, and, if applicable, the Over-Subscription Privilege, the per share and total purchase price for such shares and warrants, and any excess amount to be refunded
by the Company to such shareholder in the form of a check and stub, along with a letter explaining the allocation of Units pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege. 
 E. Any excess payment to be refunded by the Company to a shareholder will be mailed by Computershare within ten Business Days after the Expiration Date. Computershare will not issue or deliver
certificates or Statements of Holding for the Common Stock and warrants constituting the Units subscribed for until payment in full therefore has been received, including collection of checks. 

 

	5.	Validity of Subscriptions. 

 Irregular subscriptions not otherwise covered by specific instructions herein shall be submitted to an appropriate officer of the Company and handled in accordance with his or her instructions. Such
instructions will be documented by the Agent indicating the instructing officer and the date thereof. 
  

	6.	Over-Subscription. 

If, after allocation of Units to Record Date Shareholders, there remain unexercised Rights, then the Agent shall allot the Units issuable
upon exercise of such unexercised Rights (the “Remaining Units”) to Rights holders who have exercised all the Rights initially issued to them, other than Rights distributed by Record Date Shareholdersto their own stockholders, members, and
general or limited partners, and who wish to acquire more than the number of Units for which the Rights issued to them are exercisable. Units subscribed for pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege will be allocated in the amounts of such
over-subscriptions. If the number of Units for which the Over-Subscription Privilege has been exercised is greater than the Remaining Units, the Agent shall allocate the Remaining Units to Rights holders exercising their Over-Subscription Privilege
based on the number of Units each Rights holder elected to purchase pursuant to the Over-subscription Privilege, relative to the aggregate number of Units requested in all of the over-subscription requests received from the Rights holders. The
number of Remaining Units each over-subscribing Record Date Shareholder or other Rights holder may acquire will be rounded down to result in delivery of whole shares of Common Stock underlying such Units. The Agent shall advise the Company
immediately upon the completion of the allocation set forth above as to the total number of Units subscribed for and distributable. 
  

	7.	Delivery of Shares. 

 The Agent will deliver (i) certificates or Statement of Holding reflecting new shares of Company Common Stock and warrants in the Direct Registration System, representing those shares of Common Stock
and warrants included in the Units purchased pursuant to exercise of Basic Subscription Rights as soon as practicable after the corresponding Rights have been validly exercised and full payment for such Units has been received and cleared and
(ii) certificates or Statements of Holding representing those shares and warrants included in the Units purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Over-Subscription Privilege as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date and after all
allocations have been effected. 

	8.	Holding Proceeds of Rights Offering. 

 A. All proceeds received by Computershare from Shareholders in respect of the exercise of Rights shall be held by Computershare, on behalf of the Company, in a segregated account (the
“Account”). No interest shall accrue to the Company or shareholders on funds held in the Account pending disbursement in the manner described in Section 4(E) above. 

B. Computershare shall deliver all proceeds received in respect of the exercise of Rights to the Company as promptly as practicable, but
in no event later than ten business days after the Expiration Date. 
 C. The Company acknowledges that the bank accounts
maintained by Computershare in connection with the services provided under this Agreement will be in its name and that Computershare may receive investment earnings in connection with the investment at Computershare’s risk and for its benefit
of funds held in those accounts from time to time. 
  

	9.	Reports. 

 Daily, during the
Subscription Period, the Agent will report by telephone or telecopier, confirmed by letter, to an Officer of the Company, data regarding Rights exercised, the total number of Units subscribed for, and payments received therefor, bringing forward the
figures from the previous day’s report in each case so as to show the cumulative totals and any such other information as may be mutually determined by the Company and the Agent.
