Major Expansion of US Travelan Sales Projected with National Launch in CVS Pharmacy Chain

Melbourne, Australia, April 14, 2016: Australian microbiome biopharmaceutical Company Immuron Limited (ASX: IMC), is pleased to announce that Travelan will be available nationwide at CVS Pharmacies which is one of the largest retailers, and the largest pharmacy chain in the United States after Walgreens.

CVS sells a wide assortment of general merchandise, including prescriptions medicines, over-the-counter drugs, beauty products and cosmetics and convenience foods through their stores. CVS also provides healthcare services through its more than 1,000 MinuteClinic Medical Clinics as well as their Diabetes Care Centers. Most of these clinics are located within CVS stores.

Travelan will be available in nearly 1,000 CVS pharmacies across the US by late May 2016. The initial order will be for several thousand units which will be supported by several targeted pull-through marketing initiatives to highlight the product’s introduction into the CVS retail channel.

Thomas Liquard, CEO commented:

“After several months of discussions, we are pleased that CVS has chosen to carry Travelan. Travelan’s unique set of attributes were clear to CVS’ management and we look forward to a long and productive relationship.

Having access to such a strong retail channel means broader and deeper brand name recognition for Travelan which will enhance our efforts through specialty channels including travel clinics such as Passport Health and specialised distributors such as Traveler’s Supply Inc.”

Beyond CVS, the Company’s targeted marketing and account selling activities continue.

This has led to several recent major media exposures highlighting the significant benefits of Travelan, some of which are available on the Company’s website at:
