ACTIVITY REPORT AND CASH FLOW REPORT
FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
Highlights:
• Progressed Oesophageal Cancer Program: Received ~$200K in 3QFY26 and a further
$182K in April to conduct preclinical studies funded by Hanlim and the KDDF to enable
potential regulatory preparation for a first‑in‑human trial in Australia using an IV
formulation of INV043.
• Advanced Animal Health Collaboration: Protect Animal Health progressing in vitro
studies on multiple cancer lines and initiating in vivo studies using Photosoft™.
• Further Encouraging Skin Cancer Results: Following a 2nd preliminary dataset showing
strong safety, statistically significant lesion reductions and complete resolution in select
cases, Invion is expanding the trial to BCC patients.
• Successful Convertible Note Offering: Secured ~$1.3m in commitments from a
two‑tranche convertible note offering, cornerstoned by the Executive Chair/CEO and
a top‑five shareholder.
MELBOURNE (AUSTRALIA) 30 April 2026: Invion Limited (ASX: IVX) (“Invion” or the “Company”)
wishes to provide the following update and Appendix 4C for the quarter ended 31 March 2026
(3QFY26).
Summary of cash position and expenditure during the quarter
The Company held cash reserves at the end of the quarter of $395K (2QFY26: $138K). The
balance does not include the second tranche proceeds of circa $672K from the recent
convertible note offering (see below for details). Tranche two is subject to shareholder
approval at a general meeting to be scheduled in the coming months.
Invion’s key cash outflows under Operating Activities in the quarter were research and
development costs of $405K (2QFY26: $314K) and administration and corporate costs of $430K
(2QFY26: $188K).
As detailed in Item 6.1 of the accompanying Appendix 4C, the Company discloses that the
aggregate payments to related parties and their associates during the quarter totalled $52K.
The related party payments relate to payment to Vistra Australia for Directors’ fees and CFO
and company secretarial fees during the quarter.
Key developments
Invion continues to focus on advancing the development of the Photosoft™ platform
technology in cancer and has achieved the following in the March quarter:
Preclinical Work on Oesophageal Cancer
Invion received circa $200K to undertake preclinical work to prepare for an oesophageal
cancer trial in the March quarter and was paid an additional $182K in April. The funding came
from Hanlim Pharm Co., Ltd (Hanlim), partially supported by a grant from the South Korean
government’s Korea Drug Development Fund (KDDF).
This package of work, which includes preclinical studies on pharmacokinetics and efficacy, is
ongoing and expected to be completed in the coming months.

Convertible Note Offering
Invion received commitments of circa $1.3 million from a convertible note offering that is
cornerstoned by the Company’s Executive Chair and CEO, Prof Thian Chew, and one of its
top five largest shareholders.
The raise is structured in two tranches. Tranche One, worth $578K, was received by Invion in
the March quarter. Tranche Two, worth $672K is subject to shareholder approval at a general
meeting. Prof Chew has committed to invest $244K in this raise to fund the ongoing non-
melanoma skin cancer trial, the upcoming anogenital cancer trial co-sponsored with Peter
Mac, support for partner-funded studies (including drug manufacturing and device
development) and working capital.
Protect Animal Health
Invion’s partner, Taiwan-listed Protect Animal Health Inc. (Protect), has progressed its
preclinical work using Photosoft™. Protect has completed a number of in vitro studies on
several companion animal cancer lines and is initiating some in vivo studies in mice models.
Protect is funding and undertaking the evaluation studies, while Invion supplies its partner with
Photosoft compounds from its portfolio of over 300 unique patented photosensitisers. Invion
retains all rights to the Photosoft technology.
If the evaluation is successful, this could lead to a co-development agreement between the
parties that may govern the commercialisation and further development of the technology.
Expansion of Skin Cancer Trial
Post the end of the March quarter, Invion released the second set of encouraging preliminary
results from its non‑melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) trial as it expands the trail to include patients
with Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)1.
The approval from the Safety Review Committee (SRC) to expand to this patient population of
BCC patients follows a new set of preliminary unaudited data demonstrating a consistently
favourable safety profile and encouraging early efficacy signals in the subsequent cohort of
six squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) patient readouts.
Consistent with earlier findings from the prior SRC2 review, no dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) or
treatment-related safety concerns have been identified to date. Some key highlights from the
second dataset include:
• Continued strong safety data including no adverse effects nor observed pain
• Reductions in size of lesions relative to baseline (p<0.05)
• Complete resolution observed in select cases, with durability under evaluation; and
• Consistent fluorescence signals that further validate theragnostic potential with red
light (660nm) activating the therapeutic effect and violet light (405nm) enabling
fluorescence-based visualisation of lesions.

Commenting on the latest quarter, Prof Chew, said:
“This quarter has reinforced the growing momentum across our Photosoft platform
as we advance multiple programs in parallel. We are pleased with the continued
progress of our partners and the encouraging preliminary data emerging from our
non-melanoma skin cancer trial.
“The expansion into the BCC cohort marks an important step forward and reflects
the consistently favourable safety profile and early efficacy signals we are seeing to
date.”

Invion recorded a $910K net cash inflow from Financing Activities from the proceeds of Tranche
One of the convertible note offering and from the R&D financing facility, and a $20K net cash
outflow from Investing Activities in the quarter relating to payments for equipment and
intellectual property.
