Important Information
This Offer Booklet does not provide financial advice and has been prepared without taking account
of any person’s investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs. You should consider
the appropriateness of participating in the SPP having regard to your investment objectives,
financial situation and particular needs. Shareholders should seek independent financial and
taxation advice before making any investment decision in relation to these matters.
The offer of Shares under the SPP is made in accordance with ASIC Corporations (Share and
Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547, which grants relief from the requirement for the
Company to provide prospectus disclosure in relation to the SPP. This Offer Booklet does not
constitute a prospectus or product disclosure statement and has not been lodged with ASIC. The
issue of a prospectus or product disclosure statement is not required for the purpose of the SPP.
You must rely on your own knowledge of the Company, previous disclosure made by the Company
to ASX and, if necessary, consult with your professional adviser when deciding whether or not to
participate in the SPP.
The market price of Shares may rise or fall from now to when the Shares are issued or allotted to you
under the SPP. If you apply to participate in the SPP by completing and returning the Application Form
(or otherwise making a valid Application in accordance with these Terms and Conditions), you are
accepting the risk that the market price of Shares may change between the time you make your
Application and the Allotment Date. This means it is possible that, up to or after the Allotment Date, you
may be able to buy Shares at a lower price than the Issue Price.
Please read this Offer Booklet (in particular, the Terms and Conditions) carefully, as you will be bound
by the Terms and Conditions in participating in the SPP. Shareholders accepting the SPP will also be
bound by the constitution of the Company.
This Offer Booklet is intended for use only in connection with the Offer to Eligible Shareholders in
Australia or New Zealand. No action has been taken to permit an offering of Shares in any jurisdiction
outside of Australia and New Zealand. The distribution of this Offer Booklet may be restricted by law
and persons (including Custodians and nominees) who come into possession of this Offer Booklet
should observe any such restrictions.
This Offer Booklet may not be distributed or released in the United States. This Offer Booklet does not
constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any Shares in the United States or in any
jurisdiction where such an offer or solicitation would be illegal. The Shares to be offered and sold under
the SPP have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any
U.S. state or other jurisdiction of the Unites States, and may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly,
in the United States or to any person acting for the account of benefit of a person in the United States
(to the extent such person is acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States).

Dear Shareholder
INVION SHARE PURCHASE PLAN

costs).The launch of the SPP follows the recent announcement by IVX regarding the placement new
Shares at an issue price of 2.2 cents per Share to raise $15 million (before costs) (Placement).
The issue price of Shares issued under the SPP is 2.2 cents per Share (Issue Price), which is equal to
the issue price under the Placement, and represents:
•
a 18.5% discount to IVX’s closing price of 2.7 cents per Share on 11 November 2021 (being
the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Placement and SPP); and
•
a 19.7% discount to the Company’s 15-day VWAP of 2.74 cents.
Participants in the Placement and SPP will be entitled to participate in an offer of one free attaching
option for every two new Shares subscribed under the Placement and SPP, as applicable, with an
exercise price of 4 cents per option and expiring 18 months from their issue date (Option Offer). The
Option Offer will be made under a separate prospectus lodged with ASIC and ASX on or about the date
of this Offer Booklet.

•
subject to the Company obtaining Shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule

o
the contribution of $5 million to RMW Cho Group Ltd (RMW) for development costs of
the Photosoft™ technology, as disclosed to the ASX on 16 November 2021; and

be reduced on a pro rata basis based on the size of the existing security holding of the Eligible
Shareholder as at the Record Date.
If Applications are scaled back, any excess Application monies will be refunded without interest.

which the total Issue Price for the following exceeds
$30,000:
(i)
the shares or interests applied for by you under the
SPP are in accordance with the instructions of the
Participating Beneficiaries; and

any other Shares issued to you in the 12 months

given by a Participating Beneficiary to you or a
downstream Custodian to apply for Shares on their
behalf under an arrangement similar to the SPP;
and
page 10
(d)
that the matters required by paragraph 8(3) of ASIC
Instrument 2019/547 have been complied with, and that

between the hours of 8:30am and 7:30pm (Melbourne time),
Monday to Friday to obtain a Custodian Certificate.

applying for Shares. Custodians are not eligible to participate
on behalf of a person who resides outside Australia or New
Zealand.
Issue of Shares
Holding statements are expected to be despatched by 15
December 2021.
Oversubscriptions
The amount that each Eligible Shareholder can apply for under
the SPP is capped at $30,000. The SPP aims to raise up to $3
million. IVX may decide to accept applications (in whole or in
part) that result in the SPP raising less than this amount in its
absolute discretion.
IVX (in its absolute discretion) reserves the right to increase
the size of the SPP.
The SPP Cap is designed to ensure all Eligible Shareholders
have a reasonable opportunity to participate equitably in the
future of the Company by:
•
ensuring that Eligible Shareholders who decide not to
participate in the SPP are not significantly diluted; and
•
providing those who elect to participate in the SPP
Offer in a meaningful way to maintain to the extent
possible their respective interests.
If Applications are scaled back, the share allocation of Eligible
Shareholders participating in the SPP will be reduced on a pro
rata basis based on the size of the existing security holding of
the Eligible Shareholder as at the Record Date.
If there is a scale back, you may not receive all the Shares for
which you have applied. If a scale back produces a fractional
number when applied to your Parcel, the number of Shares
you will be allotted will be rounded down.
If there is a scale back, IVX will refund to you, the difference
between your Application money and the total Issue Price for
the Shares allotted to you (provided that you will not receive a
refund for an amount which is less than the Issue Price of one
Share). Any excess Application monies will be refunded
without interest.
page 11
Refunds
Any application monies refunded by IVX will be paid by cheque
or direct credit (the payment method will be determined by IVX
in its absolute discretion) in Australian currency. By applying
for Shares, each Eligible Shareholder authorises IVX to pay
any monies to be refunded by using the payment instructions
of the Eligible Shareholder recorded in the Share Registry’s
records if IVX should elect to pay in this manner.

Eligible Shareholders
Registered holders of Shares in the Company at 7.00pm Melbourne time on 15 November

it is lawful and practical for the Company to offer the SPP. To the extent that you hold

4.3
